What Parents Need to Know

About The Angry Beavers

Parents need to know that this cartoon follows the lives of two bachelor brothers who happen to be beavers. The tension caused by their completely different personalities creates entertaining, laugh-out-loud situations. Potty humor and slapstick rule the day in this zany tale of two young dudes who make quite a mess as they go about living life to the fullest. Nonetheless, kids will learn about acceptance and forgiveness as Norbert and Daggett face life together during the good and bad times.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the relationship between the brothers. Children may empathize with the tension between the siblings, so parents can discuss what it takes to be a good brother or sister. How do Norb and Dag reconcile their problems? What happens when kids have problems with their own siblings? Why is forgiveness important? How can you express your upset feelings without hurting others?

    I rate this title iffy for age 6 and give it 5.0

    One of the few Nicktoons that are actually funny!

    I remember back in the mid 00's when they aired an episode or two of this show as an afternoon special one week, and I loved it. I just recently took another look at this on youtube, and its as good as I remembered! The slapstick humor (with minimal gross-out humor, thank you) is especialy funny, the characters are unique along with the setting. The voice talent is surpisingly good, and the wacky plot lines are entertaining. The best thing about this cartoon is that it has its own brand of humor. The creator did a great job at making the comedy not too slow paced (Like "Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends")but not so fast that you don't have time to analize the first gag before there on to the next one(Like the mostly unfunny "The Fairly Odd Parents"). All this great stuff makes it seem like this TV show would have been still airing, Right? WRONG! It was cancled after just three season's, which might sound like an achievment for an ordinary cartoon, but this wasn't any ordinary cartoon! Definatly would suggest for anyone who wants a good, clever laugh.

    Cute cartoon!

    I suggest this over Spongebob Squarepants. I don't know why kids like Spongebob but this cartoon is one of those classics that any age can relate too. It's funny enough to keep them watching and the plots are similar enough to their own lives to keep them sitting still! Among those plots there are the zany , weird ones that lot's of people look for. Completely original and parallel. I love this show and I'm over the supposed age level. This is one of the shows I grew-up watching and will always love. Highly recommended for any children! The plots are great, the humor is great and the violence will not have you sharing your bed with your child(ren).
