Now I have nothing against these trypes of shows were they try to have small things in life big adventures but this show is so abysmal and poor that it hurts. First off the animation is horrible! all the characters look extremely ugly and some of them resemble really offensive racial caricatures, people complain about Klasky Csupo looking bad well take a look here. At least Klasky had a style and loked good for the most part. Another thing I notice is the movement as the characters move like they have some sort of disability that makes them movie like characters in those horrible Zelda CD I games. Now I cn get past bad animation as long as the writing and actingis good (South Park, Beavis & Butthead and Digimon) sadly For Three Friends the writing and actingis horrible. I'llstart with acting as I swear NONE of these people can act! All of the actors especially for the boys and Linda are comepletely bland and bored with Linda being the worst as she also sometimes pauses in the middle of words or sentences. Some of these characters even change accents randomly like the character Tess who sometimes becomes British. Now for the writing which ohhh boyis bad. All of the characters are bland or are so stereotyped it hurts. However the humor in this show is the biggest gripe. The show is not funny at all. The jokes are told with such bland delivry that it makes them not funny or they are extremely forced such as one scene where a goat out of nowhere eats the boys clothes while naked in a river and while in those frames poops out of context while eating. The pacing is undesirably slow with many pointless scenes, slow delivry and slow animation that it makes a 10 minute episode feel like half an hour. Now after all of that are there any positives? Yes, the music is quite nice with a jazz, rock soundtrack that sounds nice and does not succumb to the cliche people beatboxing tunes through the microphone like with doug. Yes I know this is intended for kids but I always say the same point I have made with the Barbie cgi movies. Why bother when you have Pixar,disney, Dreamworks, Studio Ghibli and more? As for this why bother when you have shows like Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Azumanga Daioh and other shows that make little things in life BIG ADVENTURES! I also hear people compare this to South Park...no South Park is funny, witty, clever and has great writing and characters! This is the complete opposite!
