I remember absolutely hating the cartoon at first when i was younger. I was such a die hard fan of the books my 3rd grade teacher read to us and couldn't bare seing so many changes to it. Looking back at it, it's not that bad. It does pay some homage to the books. Sure the animation is standard and it is a little over the top at times but it's probably watchable. After watching your review, i'm starting to think the movie is actually better.

I'm not going to lie, I wish I had an alter ego to argue about literature and films with.

Loved the beginning! Gotta jump on those easy points! You've done a great job at developing Matt Hatter's character, the interaction between you two in this one is awesome so far!

Oh my goodness. I'd almost forgotten all about Wayside School! I LOVED those stories as a kid. Such zany brilliance (I still LOL at Sammy's story). I never knew there was a movie!
