Big Nate

Big Nate is one of the most fun animated series I've seen in years! It perfectly captures the spirit of being in sixth grade-awkward moments, big imaginations, and hilarious friendships. The show brings so much energy to every episode, with wild visuals, quick humor, and a great voice cast that really brings the characters to life.

The animation style is super bold and colorful, with a fun mix of 2D and 3D that makes it stand out from other shows. It's expressive and exaggerated in the best way, matching Nate's over-the-top personality and imagination. The humor is fast, smart, and never boring-kids can enjoy it, but there's enough clever writing for older viewers too.

The friend group is super likable, and every character brings something unique to the table. Whether they're dealing with school chaos, silly rivalries, or just trying to survive sixth grade, it's always entertaining. And of course, Nate himself is a lovable troublemaker who's full of personality, just like in the books.

If you're a fan of fun, fast-paced cartoons with heart, Big Nate is a must-watch. It's full of creativity, charm, and laugh-out-loud moments. I really hope it gets even more seasons!

Big Nate is an excellent show for kids of all ages! The show has wonderful characters, amazing comedy and teaches valuable lessons. It's an ideal series for families.

Big Nate is an animated series based on books of the same name. Big Nate follows Nate (Ben Giroux), a boy in sixth grade, as he learns about life and grows into his own, while accompanied by his friends, Dee Dee (Bryce Charles), Francis (Daniel MK Cohen), and Teddy (Arnie Pantoja).

The comedy of Big Nate is genius. Nate, Dee Dee, Francis, and Teddy each have their own sense of humor, giving balance to the group and adding to their individual personalities. The animation stands out-it's computer animated, and the heads of the characters are bigger than their bodies; their hair has specific lines and an exaggerated, stiff shape to look like the comics the show is based on. The characters all have depth, giving them as much importance as the titular character. They all have their own backstories and lines that they mutter under their breath. These expression make viewers laugh and provide clues about their personas. By the end of the episodes, we're left wanting more of Nate and his friends. The translation of the books to the small screen is spectacular. It's clear how much the creators of the show cared about doing justice to its published material. The execution of the animation, Nate, and his journey through sixth grade is done with precision and attention.

The messages of this series are learned through Nate. He learns about discovering who you are and who you want to be, the power of friendship, and the hardships of family. Nate makes some enemies and at times doesn't know who he can trust, and yet he always has his friends in his corner.

I give Big Nate 5 out 5 stars and recommend it for ages 11 to 16. It begins streaming on Paramount+ February 17, 2022.

I saw it coming on one day. I had a feeling I had watched it before but it said new. So I recorded it. Man, I love it. It is a fun, simple show. Great to watch as a final thing before going to sleep.

I love the animation. It does not look cheap. It reminds me of a show that would have been on in the 90s. Which I find interesting.

I love the characters. Each is easy to see and figure out. They are just kids. Friends, enemies. Simple stuff.

The stories are fun to watch. I get so into the episodes.

Never knew there were comics on it. I will check those out one day also.

I watch this from FIOS. I find it more fun that way. I can look forward to an episode each week.

I admit that I didn't have very high hopes for this show after the Diary of a Wimpy Kid animated movie soured me on animated adaptations of books. However, I gave it the benefit of the doubt because I loved both the comic strip and the books.

This show is actually faithful to its source material and definitely far better than anything else Nick's made in the past several years. Everyone is in-character, the jokes are actually pretty clever, and the animation is gorgeous; while the show is CG-animated, it imitates stop-motion very convincingly and in a way that complements the character designs well.

There's also a lot of medium blending involving Nate's drawings, and they all look just as they did in the original comic strip.

I definitely recommend this show, especially if you were already a fan of Big Nate. 8/10.

Great and well thoughtout adaptation of the comics and also feel like the original big nate novels in a way. The animation style is nice. The only issues are the voices which are not always great. I dont know if nates voice fits him perfectly, however the principals voice sounds exactly like I thought it would, the jokes can be trying too hard but most of the time are funny and some jokes for adults too. I dont think these are enough to drop the score though because as a long time fan of this comic strip, everything feels like it works perfectly.
