There is something incredibly charming about The Weekenders. It’s hard to find a cartoon aimed at pre-teens that really conveys the right messages. The Weekenders manages to do just that, along with something very “adult” at the same time. The characters are both well-developed and fun to watch. The series revolves around four main characters and their fun-filled weekends, as well as the lessons they learn as they learn about the world around them. Yes, it does sound like a typical children’s cartoon, but you have to give it to The Weekenders for putting a unique twist to the lessons. Throw in four very different, very interesting main characters, a whole slew of hilarious background characters, and animated conversations, and you’ve got something with a lot of charm. There’s Tino, the sarcastic worriwart of the group, who mainly narrates the episodes; Lor, the jock, who fails at schoolwork but wins the audience’s hearts with her many attempts at getting her crush to notice her; Carver, the shoe-obsessed character whose bad penmanship runs throughout the series; and last but not least, Tish, the foreign “Brains” who has a soft spot for Shakespeare and her dulcimer. The four learn life’s lessons whilst doing typical but often whimsical things on their weekends, along with the help of Tino’s mother, who offers a wiser approach to any problems the group may run into. All in all, the series is a must-see. With (often sarcastic) humour and grace, The Weekenders delivers the right messages in a fun package. Although some of the lessons have a somewhat repetitive feel to them, this show manages to pull it off with a unique flair!
