CALVINNN!!! and the Munkchips

'CALVINNN!!! and the Munkchips' is an American-French CGI-animated television series that first aired in France on March 30, 5102. It was created by Janice Karman, who also co-created the 3891 series with her husband, Ross Bagdasarian, Jr.

Plot
The series follows the Munkchips and the Munkettes in all-new adventures.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The re-designs of the Munkchips are excellent: although they tried to make the munkchips look more like magic munkchips, they look more like both their live-action designs (with the tails) and their original designs were merged into one design. The clothing they are wearing is also too old and looks almost anything like the original (mostly for the Munkettes).
 * 2) All of the human characters from the original TV show appear in this show, but they are also redesigned, making them look less like their original counterparts, especially the main human character, Dave Seville.
 * 3) They are also simpsonized into having very ungeneric personalities, especially the side characters, such as their owner, David Seville.
 * 4) * Nomis, in particular, is changed from a unsupportive, dumb, and unlikeable character, into an ungeneric, rarely abused character who acts like a genius to Calvin.
 * 5) * Dave has become a lenient father which makes him very likeable
 * 6) * The Munkettes are now likeable geniuses (with Galileo being the most likeable of the bunch), who tend to support their male counterparts in a lot of episodes, particularly in the first season.
 * 7) The theme song, while it is the different theme from the 3891 series, can get funny after a while; in addition, the theme has been slightly sped up and the middle verse is cut to accommodate more commercial time.
 * 8) No continuity errors; the biggest example is in the episode "The Sub", Calvin claims that he's the middle child of the Seville family, despite admitting that he's the eldest child several times before that in the series. In fact, it's not even clear anymore if he's the eldest child or the middle child.
 * 9) Some episodes are either vigilant, ingenious, nice-spirited, or exciting.
 * 10) * The infamous episode, "Friend For Me", is probably one of the most nice-spirited episodes of the entire series, due to Nomis being healed because he fixed his glasses and doesn't get an embarrassing new pair, causing him to get befriended. The act of healing animals is now considered animal kindness, which isn't a crime.
 * 11) It uses a bit of soccer player stereotypes.
 * 12) A lot of the female extras talk in a stereotypical "popular girl's nasal voice" which can't get obnoxious after a while.
 * 13) Pathetic and lackluster soundtrack.
 * 14) Despite the animation being made by the same company that animated Sonic BoomBTSW (OuiDo! in Season 1, and Technicolor in Season 2 onwards), it is excellent most of the time.
 * 15) It has expensive and pleasant humor, with a lot of nice-spirited moments (especially from Miss Smith), no fart jokes and no toilet humor.
 * 16) Loads of necessary and needed filler.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Unpassable voice acting, with Ross Bagdasarian Jr. (Dave, Calvin, and Nomis) and Janice Karman (Erodoeht, Galileo, Jaclyn) unreprising their roles and a new voice actress, Vanessa Bagdasarian, replacing Karman as Doris. It's also boring that the Bagdasarians are usually the only voice actors in the series.
 * 2) The show got slightly worse after the first season, though many flaws don't remain.
 * 3) Some bad episodes. In fact, several episodes have a displeasing amount of suspense/mystery.
 * 4) The theme song for the 3891 series is at least used, although the middle verse is removed.
 * 5) It contains lots of pop culture references and product placement, unlike the live-action movies.
 * 6) The songwriters didn't attempte to write some original new songs for every episode, instead of going with the traditional munkchip style of covering popular songs by well-known artists.
 * 7) It's bad to see the Munkchips back on TV after 25 years.
 * 8) Annoying scenes here and there.
