It got it's start on Kablam and it was HIDIOUS looking, although looking at it today, sort of creeps me out.
The show was about a girl named Angela who would narrate her own life and for some reason, looking back at them, I never realized how cruel she was to this one girl named Nanette Manuare.
OK Nanette is a bully and all but Angela would have these horrid visions on what she would do to her by any means necessary
Cruel as it may be, sometimes, Nanette gets her just desserts and other times, Angela just ignores her.
Back then, the 90's were not that cruel to kids as some are today with cyber bullying and all but Angela Anaconda stories are told in her point of view. She would have friends like Gina and Johnny and an asthmatic friend named Gordy.
She had a teacher that hated Angela and would be Nanette's teacher's pet. They were inseparable the two of them.
But when the first ones came out, the voices were so different and creepy. I imagine the faces they used were also the voices they used as well. When they made a full season, it was a little different.
Although the show does look ugly and some of the characters look like cut up Barbie dolls, I applauded it for trying to be different, even if it is a little scary.
Angela even had two brothers, one with brown hair and the other with blonde, and a baby sister; while her friend Johnny had an uncle who ran a pizza place with his grandmother. I vaguely remember the episodes.
All I know is I believe Angela is more of the bully half the time than Nanette, but then again it was only a half hour show and it was in the 90s. Some episodes were creepy, then again the Kablam one gave me nightmares.
This show was based of in Canada by a creator named Susan Rose. In a fictional place Angela lived called, Tap-Water Springs?? C'mon people.
It's been a long time since I remember an episode, but thanks to YouTube, I have seen a few old ones. Sue Rose voices the protagonist Angela and maybe antagonist as well if you look deep within her sick mind. But then again, it's a cartoon.
I liked it when I was a kid and the updated version was a lot better than the Kablam version. I miss it now, like I do any 90's show. New shows are coming up, some goo some stupid, but I don't watch much TV like I used to, and Angela Anaconda will still creep people out the way the characters move as if they were cut out of a yearbook picture and placed on paper.
Till then enjoy the past of creepy 90's shows.
Thanks Canada. I still will enjoy Angela Anaconda, even if I think of her as being annoying in some episodes.
