Film Critic, Age 11<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like\u00a0<em>Floogals Investigation Station <\/em>because it is very funny, original and creative.\u00a0 It captured my attention the whole time.\u00a0 I like that it is not just animation, as some parts are real life graphics.\u00a0 I also like that it is always teaching kids to explore and experiment in every episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This DVD is about three purple lookalike aliens called Floogals &#8211; Captain Fleeker, First Officer Flo and Junior Boomer.\u00a0 The Floogals learn new things and report back to their boss to inform him what they have learned on Earth.\u00a0 This DVD contains six episodes about experimentation, discovery and observation.\u00a0 Each episode has about 11 minutes of adventure and funny situations.\u00a0 One of the funniest things of this show is that the aliens call the humans &#8220;hoomans.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oHiBd5oR9Ps\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Floogals-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-957\" width=\"225\" height=\"127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Floogals-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Floogals-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Floogals.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite episode is &#8220;Project Popcorn.&#8221;\u00a0 This episode is about the Floogals discovering a food called popcorn.\u00a0 When a human accidentally lets go of the popcorn, it falls and the dog eats it, so they think it is dog food.\u00a0 Later they start to realize what popcorn is.\u00a0 Another one of my favorite episodes is &#8220;Project Sleep\u201d which is about how a &#8220;hooman&#8221; girl invites her friends over for a sleepover.\u00a0 The Floogals spy on the girls to see what a sleepover is all about.\u00a0 The Floogals slowly learn about and process the word &#8220;sleepover,&#8221;\u00a0 The Floogals do not realize that the whole time they are actually part of the sleepover.\u00a0 The graphics are real live backgrounds and the Floogals are little animated aliens.\u00a0 The animation is neat and very colorful.\u00a0 The voiceover talent suits each character.\u00a0 I like Junior Boomer&#8217;s character the most, because he is clumsy, funny, and always curious about learning new things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Floogals.2-300x212.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-956\" width=\"225\" height=\"159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Floogals.2-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Floogals.2-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Floogals.2-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Floogals.2.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The moral of this show is: don&#8217;t ever let someone stop you from doing what you desire.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t allow anyone to discourage you from doing what you are capable of doing.\u00a0 For example, Junior Boomer investigates this thing call &#8220;popcorn&#8221; and Captain Fleeker tries to stop him, but Junior Boomer still investigates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give\u00a0<em>Floogals Investigation Station <\/em>5 out of 5 stars and recommend it ages 6 to 18, plus adults.\u00a0 By Ethan P., KIDS FIRST!
