I don't like how often the kids pick on Robbie. I kind of want him to get a break sometimes!

Re: What DONT you Like About Lazytown?

One thing I have noticed after watching more episodes is that sometimes the editing is a little off.

There's the type of comedy you linger on, and there's the sort of comedy that's fast paced and sporadic--'random', if you will. It's intended to be a quick shot, like Flobbie clicking his heels in We Are Number One.

Mind you, if I'd cut it, I might've given it a frame or two more. Runs the risk of being missed if one blinks.

Studio Ghibli did that with Arrietty. I've only ever seen the UK dub but it was lovely.

Oh wow.

One thing I have noticed after watching more episodes is that sometimes the editing is a little off. For example, in you are a pirate there's this one really weird shot they cut to quickly then cut away from. Is it just me who finds it odd? :s I've noticed it some other times but I can't tell you off the top of my head in what episode and when etc. It's around the 1:18 mark that weird shot of Rottenbeard coming toards the camera :icon_lol:

Re: What DONT you Like About Lazytown?

I don't know why, but the US originals (or dubs) seem to give out more personality than the UK dubs. Everyone sounds the same in the UK dub. And, again, I'm half British. Plus I don't have a British accent so that's probably why I feel the US originals/dubs give out more personality to the characters.

Maybe because they're all (with the exception of the mayor) apparently voiced by Julie Westwood and Sarah Burgess in the UK dub?

Re: What DONT you Like About Lazytown?

From what little I've heard of the UK dub, I'd agree. Their personalities feel more defined by the US voices, perhaps because the dubbed characters are more reflective of the US and American stereotypes (or 'easy access points', to use a less weighted term). The LT kids are reflective of a broad cross-section, and dubbing them all with British accents dulls that diversity just a bit.

However, if we did get a voice like that, then I'm gonna stick to the UK dub.

I will stick to the US dub

Yeah. As soon as I saw it I was like "Be glad us in America didn't get a voice like THAT!" XD

Lol XD

Stingy's singing in America is golden compared to that. I see what you mean

Exactly. That's why I mentioned it.

LagoonaBlue that was HORRIBLE. His singing was ear piercing

Re: What DONT you Like About Lazytown?

I used to think the same. Then I realized he never wanted the role, and was unable to fill it with other actors. That with his 'slightly above average' sentiment and general modesty balance out the otherwise perfect nature of Sportaflop.

Re: What DONT you Like About Lazytown?

Be glad you haven't heard his singing in the Romanian dub.

One thing I don't like is how much of an author avatar Sportacus is. I know the show is Magnus' intellectual property and he came up with the characters, but he could have had some more and better character development (such as flaws - he doesn't appear to have any).
