Line #25 WebVideo/XiaolinShowdownAbridged


1	->''While it hardly seems necessary to give a reason for giving the gift of comedy, we would like to express that our feelings toward Xiaolin Showdown Abridged go beyond those given to a mere parody. ''Creator/LittleKuriboh'' has written that while ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' is a fulfilling and enjoyable project for him, his greater purpose for making it is to bring attention to a great plot and cast of characters that often take a backseat to the show's commercial agenda. In this spirit, we also feel that our productions are in themselves purposeful in addition to enjoyable. Despite its [[GottaCatchThemAll seemingly]] [[FightingSeries traditional]] [[InterestingSituationDuel setup]] , Xiaolin Showdown is a one-of-a-kind show that meant a tremendous amount to us and our friends when it was on during our childhood. The series may have ended, but its disappearance from the airwaves altogether is heartbreaking and denying the growing generation a beautifully rendered, wholesome, and thought provoking cartoon. As described in its first Kid's WB promo, it is indeed a masterpiece, and deserves to live on. We know that there are many who feel the same way, and bringing attention back to the awesome adventures of the Four Dragons is a necessary mission, as well as a wonderfully gratifying one.''

10	--> '''Jack:''' Let's see [[Creator/GreyDeLisle Vicky (Kimiko)]], [[Creator/JeffBennett Johnny Bravo (Clay)]], [[Creator/TomKenny Spongebob (Raimundo)]] and hey, where's [[Creator/TaraStrong Ben 10 (Omi)]]?
11	* AmusementPark: Catatonia - Where the rides leave you completely unable to move.
