Your Clairy Godmother

Happy Halloween, my beautiful fairies! The only time of the year I can go out as the beautiful fairy I am, wings and all, and pester humans for free sweets without consequence. The Mayfair cartoons were fun and all, but I want to do an entire Halloween-like cartoon review! And I’m not going to beat around the bush, since it’s Halloween, that bush is probably dead and possessed by Satan. You know, fun spooks and whimsical creeps! And I know just what to do for this diabolical day! Around 2 years ago, I made a video where I reviewed a weird Halloween-tailored show from my childhood called Casper’s Scare School, a mid-2000s reboot of nobody’s favorite pleasantly preachy poltergeist, Casper the Friendly Ghost. The show was not good, to put it nicely: season 1 was passable, but season 2 was downright atrocious. You can hear me discuss it in length in this review here. I also did a lengthy discussion about Casper during a previous video review of the equally-lame direct-to-DVD pilot film o...

Welcome back, my beautiful fairies, to our review of all the cartoons showcased at the latest “The Mayfair’s The Saturday Morning All-You-Can-Eat-Cereal Cartoon Party”. We have three more cartoon episodes and two more animated shorts to get through. So why don't you get the bowls ready and let's chill out with some cool cartoons?

After the show’s original Japanese run, Saban bought the rights to translate the show, and has since dubbed the show into various languages such as English, French, Spanish, and more.

  I make it no secret I’m a born-and-bred Ontario fairy. Sure, I am from a mythical and mystical realm of magic, but whenever I dip my toes outside my mushroom ring, I find myself calling Canada home. It’s the land I feel the deepest human connection to, despite its many mistakes and misdoings across its bloody and beautiful history. Naturally, I do my best to combine my patriotism and my passion for media by supporting local and historic Canadian theaters like The Bytowne Cinema or even The National Arts Centre. But my favorite out of all these theaters is The Mayfair Theater, which has been actively running movie events since 1932. They have spent almost 100 years showcasing everything they can: Ottawa premieres, independent movies, international cinema, and classic films. But my absolute favorite part about going to The Mayfair is their cartoon marathon!    The Mayfair Theatre hosts “The Saturday Morning All-You-Can-Eat-Cereal Cartoon Party”, an event where they offer ...
