Angela Anaconda Was Weird: Over Hated & Underrated | Billiam

Angela Anaconda was a show that ran on Canada's Teletoon from 1999-2001. Despite being remembered as a hated show, it was actually pretty successful, with three seasons, merchandise, and being run on several different American networks. Nowadays, Angela Anaconda is remembered primarily through its appearance in the Digimon Movie. WHAT WAS UP WITH THAT? AngelaMon? WEIRD! But like- I kinda like the show, though :(

[@greypaladin4560]

This show is an excellent example of Canadian television: If it's good people won't notice it's Canadian. If it's weird, people will look into it and find out it's Canadian. Thus the idea that Canadian shows are weird is born. Also, I did watch this show on Teletoon as a kid and even then I could not decide if I loved or hated it or wanted to wipe it from my brain and regain my innocence. It didn't help that the intro song was annoying and got stuck in my head all the time.

Angela Anaconda actually gave me so much serotonin. I saw a clip on tiktok and I had to look up videos about it. I loved how weird she was and this literally unlocked a whole memory.

[@SherlocksLeftNipple]

Honestly, if you were a kid stuck in an unfair situation (favoritism, bullying, abuse, not fitting in, etc.), then Angela's revenge fantasies may very well have been cathartic to watch. You might even see yourself in Angela, because you channeled your own frustration in much the same way. People calling the show "mean-spirited and ugly" due to Angela's dreams of taking Nanette down a peg forget that some kids do, in fact, get really, really angry, and their imagination may very well be the first and best safe outlet they have. (That, or they *were* the Nanette and feel attacked. In which case, cry me a river.)

[@mikehawk4388]

Around the time I noticed hate for this show (that I never saw) getting popular to share, the people who reviewed cartoons tended to have two flaws... One was to nitpick or maximize issues to make their opinion look more valid; the other was a puritan-esque angle where 'mean-spirited' was a literal buzzword-phrase. Anything where characters were caused misfortune or had ill will wished upon them, no matter the circumstances, had big potential to be called 'mean-spirited' by some over-sensitive reviewers who probably forgot how fun a little harmless wish-fulfillment like that could be as a kid. Aside from weebs in general, I'm guessing the non-weeb hate-boner stemmed from there.

[@sydneylawson484]

well said

[@MM-mx2zt]

I was and I hated this show, Angela was just as much of a bully as the other kids. There’s nothing endearing about it.

[@urphakeandgey6308]

It's a little similar to Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Kids like that book so much because it presents the adolescent world in an almost cynical fashion. Adults like to think kids are more innocent than they really are. Of course kids have revenge fantasies where they somehow also become popular in school. Kids can be very envious without realizing it. That being said, I still think Angela Anaconda is very hard to relate to as a kid simply because of the art style, their manner of speech, and comparatively boring premise.

[@Liminal-Galaxy-System6819]

That was certainly my personal experience with the show! While I don’t really think I knew at the time what was going on, looking back through an adult lens, I’m certain the show helped me deal with certain situations and feelings that I couldn’t quite place or put a name to as a child. You know those feelings of frustration at being deemed a social outcast and taking your resentment out on the one who seems to be upholding that social construct because it’s easier to comprehend and be angry at a bully than it is a larger power structure at play. And I know my parents never took my complaints of bullying at school very seriously. Not only was having a show where a little girl was going through something similar as me nice, but her little fantasies were, as you pointed out, cathartic. I do find it interesting, and very telling, that people think Angela’s revenge fantasies are “mean and ugly” and seem to have no critique of Nanette’s bullying, which wasn’t fantasy in the show. And as we all know bullying can have lasting, life-long effects. 🤔

I always loved Angela Anaconda and PepperAnn. I loved seeing other types of girls featured. I should have known there was a queer creative force at their core. :) I grew up knowing feeling out of place. I knew I wasn’t interested in boys (or boy crazy) like the usual girl media images depicted. I didn’t have a close group of female friends. I wasn’t interested in fashion or makeup. I later came to understand that I’m queer... that I wasn’t broken for not romantically liking boys or feeling uncomfortable in a dress. Even though they weren’t gay characters, these shows portrayed variety and difference. There are lots of ways to be you, and that’s okay. I’m glad that’s a message I had as a young person through media like this. I will certainly check out the KZbin interview - thanks for highlighting that!

When I was little this was one of my favorite shows. I actually remember being excited when I saw those characters at the beginning of the Digimon movie. I specifically remember watching it super super early before going to school when I was in elementary school.

I Used To Love The Show Back In The Day,But I Really Never Liked The Whole Thing They Did With Digimon.>_

"It was weird, over hated, and under rated!" He will tell me.

[@alwaysfallingshort]

I remember as a kid hating this show, and then one day it clicked for me and I loved it. It's super artistic and smart, and the sort of feelings it leaves you with are maybe a bit more complex than a kid can handle. It's a very ironic show where the narrator isn't entirely reliable or infallible.

[@phoebexxlouise]

I loved Angela Anaconda as a kid!! I love the contrived way they spoke and the creative style and the underdog cheeky main character and the tomboyishness she implied by hating the posh and the feminine. And the way they always used people's full names 😂 I had no idea people hated this show, it played every afternoon on ABC in Australia

[@RealToWonder]

when i was little, my big brother told me that the show stole the faces of the children who watched it so i had to be careful. then he sat on me and forced me to watch it while i was terrified to lose my face. siblings are the best lol

[@JadeHex]

THANK YOU! Everyone memes on this show cuz its uglier than sin and the whole digimon thing, but as a canadian I loved this show on Teletoon.

[@PyramidHACK]

Same, whoever hates on it because it looks ugly is just a shallow asshole and wasn't gonna get it anyway. Shame for the show, I thought the introspective look of this crazy girl was brilliant.

Legitimately laughed out loud at, "This show has a BODY COUNT." I totally forgot about Angela Anaconda until I saw the thumbnail--thank you for making this video! :D

[@yy-hj4br]

I love this show. Angela felt like a genderswapped version of myself. I learned English more by reading and watching movies rather than conversing with people, and I got made fun of for that when I immigrated. Angela spoke that way! And she looked like me too! I love the sense of humor. One of the smallest dissapointments in my adult life is that my wife dislikes the character. I am both a digimon and Angela anaconda fan and I have to say that short in the digimon movie is an affront to both cartoons and I do not blame anyone for getting the wrong impression.

[@MD0Hatter]

I see Flint the Time Detective and just appreciate that I'm not the only one who remembers it.

[@jade_capricorn]

I totally never thought of Angela Anaconda outside of that one Digimon short but now I'm totally regretting it. Joanna Ferrone seems like such a cool person, I think I'd really like to check it out now.

[@justarandomhandlewithnomeaning]

I didn't either but I found a youtube collection of every Angela Anaconda episode & watched them. Loved it!

[@robertafitzgerald7429]

I was delighted to come across this in Feb 2023. I have fond memories of watching Angela Anaconda with my youngest son. He is now 30 and remembers our favorite afternoon show.

[@azarishere6442]

holy shit I remember loving this show so much when i was eight. However, the version i watched was in Serbian so the voices were different, still, I loved the fucking thing. I've always been bullied and a loner since early childhood so Angela's angry fantasies were really appealing to younger me lmao.

[@meatsupplies5282]

[@ianashby6294]

[@luigibarqs]

I personally never had a problem with Angela Anaconda as a show, the art style was different, the characters despite being over the top stereotypes where still relatable, and it was interesting to see how Angela's wacky revenge fantasies compared to the actual final outcome of the conflict. That, and Angela Anaconda, despite it flaws, is still better than the Cramp Twins, that show I can't stand at all.

[@SilentHillOwn]

Finally, some one who actually gave the show a fair chance! used to like the show a lot when I was a kid, could really relate to Angela's character

[@creepydude94]

I've caught a couple of episodes as a kid and I hated them, but you're making me want to watch it now. I also didn't enjoy Hey Arnold until my late teens, so maybe Angela Anaconda is worth revisiting too!

[@Shiriin777]

I remember watching this show when I was a kid! I think the weird design of it is what got me into watching it, I just found it fascinating lol. Looking at her design now, I wonder if the creators of Fran Bow took design inspiration from this show, particularly Angela since she looks really similar to Fran Bow.

[@liamheneghan4977]

I'm so happy that there are others who remember this show. Anytime I'd ask my friends if they watched it as a kid I'd be met with blank expressions.

[@Prigu]

Honestly, I am so glad someone remembers this show in a fond way. Because I used to remember really liking this show because it looked so different and it was easy to watch. (In terms of content lol) So, thank you for not needlessly shitting on this show like everyone seemed too. 😌

i was a huge _kablam!_ fan back in the day and immediately recognized angela from her shorts when they made the jump to a full series. always been a fan, not to mention also later becoming a huge _digimon_ fan as well... thus, the pre-movie short didn't really throw me off (too much) in theaters, ha

Bruh FoxBox and Fox Kids was my childhood. Who remembers Ultimate Muscle? I rewatched it subbed a few years later and man was it so dope.

Ultimate Muscle was one of 4KIDS best dubs. Largely 'cause the original show had the kind of humour they were attempting to force on their other shows at the time.

[@connorbeith3232]

Speaking of that, I think Sakurai referenced that series in his Min Min showcase. When he talked about Spring Man, he mentioned that when you search up his name you'd find a character of the same name from a manga. And it turns out that it's from this franchise.

[@jonlanders7187]

Growing up in Australia, it's very surprising to me to find out people hated Angela Anaconda. And honestly, one particular moment of one particular episode has always lived with me. In the episode with the bike race, when Josephine wins and says that St. Peter did half the pedalling for her, the teacher tells her, "THAT'S CHEATING" and takes the win away from her, which is absolutely peak comedy to me.

[@inbarfink3253]

I was so happy when I saw this video title pop up in KZbin recommendations! Finally some respect for Angela Anaconda! I really liked this show as a kid, I think I was attracted to the distinctive artstyle and, like... out of all the animated girl characters I grew up on, Angela is probably the one I most wanted to be like. Her confident lovable-jerk petty-but-justified-because-her-rival-is-just-as-petty tomboyish thing was really appealing to me. I was really suprised and disappointed when I started hearing people around my age saying nothing but negative things about that show, and making memes about how awful it is, at least now I realize that it's mostly based on one very-ill-thought-of short in front of the Digimon Movie. Angela Anaconda's sort of mundane surrealism kinda reminds me of Pete and Pete or Ed, Edd & Eddy. Where it's like... it's depicting childhood not as it really happens, but how it FEELS like when you're a kid. It's like someone telling you their partly-remembered partly-imagined stories of childhood misadventure, and the storybook like dialouge and the black-and-white faces really contribute to it. Also, man, "Angela Anaconda is semi-autobiographical about the childhood of a queer woman" is NOT the revelation I *expected* to come from this video but that's pretty awesome and makes a LOT of sense.
