What’s the Story?

Reviewed by Emily Ashby

When orphans Riley (voiced by Grey DeLisle) and Todd (Nancy Cartwright) respond to a comic book ad offering "replacement people" of their choice, the outcome wasn't quite what they had in mind. The mom and dad Fleemco Company sends the kids are the quintessential odd couple: a British international spy named Agent K (Kath Soucie) and an egocentric stuntman Dick Daring (Daran Norris). The new family is rounded out by Agent K's shape-changing, sarcastic talking car, CAR (David McCallum), who isn't at all happy about settling down in suburbia. As Riley and Todd adjust to their new family life, they're given a Fleemco bonus -- cell phones to use for any future replacement orders. But like their new parents, the other made-to-order adults Riley and Todd choose may not be exactly what they're looking for.

Is It Any Good?

Disney delivers another winner with this imaginative animated series. The characters in THE REPLACEMENTS are funny and lovable, and kids will enjoy watching Riley and Todd attempt to change situations that viewers will likely relate to. Lessons about self-esteem and accepting responsibility for your choices are prevalent throughout the show, giving substance to what was already a delightful cartoon.
