Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends

When Mac, an 8 year old boy hast to give his imaginary friend, he cant save him from other people adopting his imaginary friend when he can hardly make any of the visits. So now all of Bloo's friends try to keep him from an ugly snobby little girl. This was a great pilot episode. I like how it started with a movie. It was so aweosme. But I think everyone is so messed up to Mac. It really sucks what his brother des to him. Anyways, Bloo is my favorite character. He is so funny. he always makes me laugh.

I had never really seen Foster’s home, and my friend records it on a regular basis, so I borrowed the show from the beginning of the series and started watching it. Here is my brief summary and review for the pilot episode.



In the first part of the pilot episode, we meet Mac, an 8 year old kid, and his imaginary friend, Bloo. Mac and Bloo constantly get into fights with Mac’s older brother, Terrence. Mac’s mother feels that Terrence makes fun of Mac because he still hangs out with Bloo. She tells Mac that Bloo cannot live with them anymore. That night, when Bloo is watching T.V., he sees an advertisement for a place called ‘Foster’s home for Imaginary Friends’. The next day, Bloo and Mac decide to check the place out. They are greeted by Mr. Herriman and are given a tour by Wilt. Bloo loves the place and decides to stay there, and Mac tells him that he will come visit him everyday. However, Frankie tells them that Foster’s home is a foster home, and if Bloo stays, Mac will have to give him up, since he will be put for adoption. Bloo changes his mind and refuses to stay, but Mac tells him that he should, and leaves him. Will Bloo and Mac be able to get through without each other by their side?



The second part of the episode starts with a new morning, where a snooty girl comes with her filthy rich parents to buy an imaginary friend, because she is too rich to imagine one. Frankie suggests Duchess, but the girl has her eye on Bloo. Will Bloo be sold for adoption to the girl, especially since Mac is nowhere near?



Finally, in the third part of the pilot episode, Duchess is sick of Bloo, so she teams up with Mac’s notorious brother Terrence to get rid of Bloo for good! Will they succeed in their evil plan?



This was a great start to the series. Although it looks like 3 episodes packed into one, you get to meet the entire cast and get to know the characters really well. It makes you want to continue watching the series, which is what I intend to do. There is never a dull moment in this series starter, and you will find yourself enjoying it throughout, simply for its unique storyline. Nowadays half the cartoon shows are about pre teen high school kids, probably who have a super power and have to save the world by keeping a secret identity. If you get tired of watching shows like that, you can always switch to ‘Foster’s home for Imaginary Friends’.

The first Fosters I watched, and exactly why i still watch it. Not saying its the best episode ever, but one of my favorite shows, and one of my favorite episodes. I haven\'t seen this episode since the first time i watched the show, but i still remember it very well. If it wasn\'t for not having anything to watch on tv, i would not be writing this or watching the show.i just glad i watched this episode, and suprised it was the first show of this series!

These three episodes make up a movie that introduces many well-thoughtout characters. Mac, the main human character, is smart and friendly, but I guess he's too shy to make any human friends. Five years after imagining Bloo, the main imaginary character, Bloo is still his only friend, real or otherwise. This fact is unrealistic and, quiet frankly, a little disturbing, but one needs to overlook this fact to enjoy an otherwise great show.



Back to the premire movie, the other main characters (in order of apperance) are Wilt, Coco, and Eduardo. A gripe I have with the second episode of this three episode movie (Spoiler) is that these three other main characters fight amongst themselves while trying to save Bloo from being adopted. It's obvious to everyone but these three that all three of them would want to help Mac and Bloo, so to me this part is pointless filler (an excuse to put some action in so we don't start falling asleep, I guess).



We also meet many other characters that include the imaginary Mr. Harriman & the mean, arrogant Duchess and the humans Terrance (Mac's mean, dumb older brother), Frankie and (not really, but Spoiler) her grandma Mademn Foster.



The second and last problem I have with this movie (Spoiler) is Duchess' plan to get rid of Bloo (with the help of Terrance). I think it is just another excuse to put action into the movie. There's nothing out of character for Duchess to want to get revenge on Bloo, since the little girl wanted to adopt Bloo instead of her (Duchess can't stand living at Foster's); but to go through such an eloborate plan to just simply "get rid" of him is unrealistic. All she had to do is throw him in the cage with the monster or get him adopted to a kid that actually wanted him.



So this movie isn't perfect, but it doesn't need to be. All it had to do is introduce us to the point of the show and the main characters, and that's what it did. They should have just kept it to two episodes.

"House of Bloo's", otherwise known as the pilot for "Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends", is the main reason why it has become Cartoon Network's top rated hit show in the first place.



The movie mainly dealts with dilemma that Mac and Bloo are put in; after another torturous attempt by Terrence, Mom, fed up with this fued all the time, felt that her younger son should give up Bloo, despite the fact that he's eight. But rather than giving his friend away, however, he, by Bloo's request, heads to Foster's, where most of the characters are introduced, including Wilt, Eduardo and Coco. Of course, mayhem ensues, when Dutchess, the residence's vile imaginary friend, elaborate a plan with Terrence after Bloo was preferred by a child over her. Soon, Mac, as well as his new friends, must save Bloo in the nick of time.



Great plotline, good quality in animation and overall, very original.

This is the reason the show is a hit

Because of how Bloo is the protagnotist

Mac is either that or the anatagnotist

As Mac strikes a deal with Fosters as he doesn't mind at all visiting the home each and everyday

To meet new friends as well as Bloo

But also get away from his bullying older brother Terrance

In order that Bloo won't be put up for adoption

Despite Mr Harriman's strict rules!

I found the characters to be written the best way they could. If only all Foster's episodes were like these, then none of the characters would change at all. Because this episode, I will always remember how the episodes went from bad to worse. Oh well, now I'm off to continue my quest.
