ChalkZone

Show Summary

The show follows an elementary school boy artist named Rudy who has a special talent: he can draw a portal on a chalkboard and enter the world dubbed appropriately ChalkZone. Once in ChalkZone, Rudy has the ability to interact with drawing that were once on chalkboards and have been erased. This show has a lot to do with the childhood theory of where drawings go after they are erased as well as teamwork to stop even the weirdest scenario. There is actually a Spin Off of ChalkZone! Called: 'ChalkTalk'. Which airs right before ChalkZone. (Kind of a Commercial sorta thing.) Spin-off to Oh Yeah! Cartoons Show Times ChalkZone Currently Airs: Nickelodeon Saturdays and Sundays at 12:00 Nickelodeon 2 Saturdays at 3:00 & 3:30pm Nicktoons TV Sundays at 9:30 pm Mondays at 12:30 am CBS: Chalkzone is now on CBS! (8:00am) Characters Rudy Tabootie: In real life, Rudy's just a regular kid from a town called Plainsville. But Rudy's got one thing most kids don't: a magic piece of chalk that lets him enter ChalkZone, an amazing world where chalk drawings come to life. Snap: Snap is Rudy's idea of a perfect superhero AND a perfect best friend. He's totally fearless, he's as cool as he is blue, and he's always cracking people up-or cracking Bullynerd on the noggin. Penny Sanchez: Penny's totally obsessed with science, while Rudy's a dreamer and an artist. But Penny helps Rudy solve problems, and Rudy takes Penny to new places, like, you know, behind the chalkboard where drawings come to life. Oh, did we mention Rudy has a little crush on her? Reggie Bullnerd: Reggie's the local bully in Plainsville. As if that wasn't bad enough, his chalk-drawing alter-ego, Bullynerd, roams ChalkZone constantly, terrorizing Rudy and his posse. Fortunately, Bullynerd's not only big but also dumb, so Rudy can usually outwit (or at least out-draw) this ogre. Queen Rapsheeba: Queen Rapsheeba is one of the more interesting and entertaining inhabitants of the world behind the chalkboard. She's not only the best rapper in all of ChalkZone, she also has the best car show. And she holds the key to Snap's heart, of course... Joe Tabootie: Rudy's dad is an all-around good guy. He doesn't quite understand Rudy's obsession with drawing and wish that Rudy were more into butchering, the family business. Unfortunately for him Rudy is the kind of kid who would never get a job like that but would enjoy a more "adventurous job." Despite this, Joe still loves his son and is still proud of Rudy for being who he is. Mildred Tabootie: Rudy's mom is what you would describe as a whirlwind of activity. She's what you would call a bit dramatic, and sometimes she tends to blow by Rudy at 90 miles an hour when she's focusing on whatever task is at hand. Mildred works for the newspaper and spends time coming up with a Martha-Stewart-ish column in the local paper titled "Mildred Knows Best." Mr. Wilter: Mr. Wilter is Rudy's teacher, and he's pretty well convinced Rudy's a big time slacker. Maybe that's because during most of Mr. Wilter's extremely long, extremely boring lectures, Rudy is busy drawing. Instead of seeing Rudy for the imaginative kid he is, Mr. Wilter thinks he's wasting his time. Blocky: Blocky is Rudy's very first drawing. He's just square with hands and legs.

  • Creative

    Awesome concept, decent comedy, fair amount of toilet humor. Overall, creative and decent.

  • Show that has potential but FAILED to used it.

    You know, I like the concept and the style of this show, but they failed to handle it.



    Plot: Rudy, a boy who discovered a chalk, well, a magical chalk that can go to the dimension made by chalk drawings! Along with his friend Penny, and Snap from the chalk world, they discover more things. While Snap is sort-of discovering the human world. You know, this is a great plot actually, but they left it out in the dark, and dragged themselves to the dirt, made everything too pointless, too bland and boring.



    Characters: Way too boring and simple. We got a typical bully and strict teacher. Their concepts should be more complex.



    Humor: They got no good jokes, not annoying, but bad. They got bad, boring jokes.



    Art: The art is fine, could use a little more coloring touch, animation is too stiff.



    Overall: 2.5. I saw a lot of potential to this show, but they really don't know how to use it!moreless

  • True the show ain't the best and it has a lot of flaws, but the creativity behind it is amazing.

    I used to like ChalkZone when I was a kid. Now that I watched it again, it ain't as good as I remembered it. I have to admit I get bored on some of the episodes, the animation ain't that top notch, I don't like the characters that much at all, and the humor is slightly lacking but what made me like it as a kid is the same reason I still find it a decent enough cartoon: The universe of ChalkZone itself. If you used to watch this as a kid, do you remember the moments where you went what if ChalkZone was real, what if this piece of chalk I am holding is magical and stuff like that. Basically even with it's flaws, the universe itself makes it a good show for kids to watch.moreless

  • i cant stand the fact that this show has such low reviews

    9.0
    By MollyMurphy, Apr 20, 2012
    in my opinion, it's one of the best cartoons. it's creative, unique, has a different sense of humor, and it's relatable. rudy isn't an extraordinary boy, he's a normal kid who has happened to find this chalk, and it doesn't automatically make his life better - it's not unrealistic and it makes you believe perhaps chalkzone or other worlds are out there. the songs are well-written, the acting is superb. i don't see what you could hate.moreless

  • The premise is great. So it's a good show right? Well no it isn't.

    Chalkzone is a cartoon that sounded really good and creative, but when shown it just fails. The show is about a kid named Rudy, who one day while in detention comes across a piece of chalk that allows him to enter into another world called Chalkzone. There he meets one of his many creations named Snap and with his best friend, Penny, they go on adventures through the zone and try and keep Chalkzone a secret. Idea wise, this show had a promising future, but the show is executed in a manner that destroys the charm of this show. The characters in this show are just boring and underdeveloped. The teacher is a generic jerk who hates fun, Penny is a stereotypical smart girl who always enforces rules, Snap is annoying, the bully is just generic, and Rudy is also annoying but not as bad as Snap. As for the stories, they are actually pretty decent and has some creativity to them, but I have seen better. I never found a funny moment in this show at all, and I wasn't expecting a lot, but I never heard or saw anything that made me laugh, maybe a chuckle or snicker here and there, but nothing else. Then at the end of each episode, we are treated to a music video with the gang, and the songs are really irritating and bad. So what's the purpose of them at all? They aren't entertaining at all. This show was just a disappointment and a failure. It could have been an instant classic, but Chalkzone was marred by bad humor, terrible characters, and unnecessary music videos. There's no real value to this show at all.moreless
