What To Expect From Foster’s Funtime For Imaginary Friends
The Show Won’t Be As Cynical As The Original
The originalFoster’s Home for Imaginary Friendswas one of the more memorable series to come out ofCartoon Network in the 2000s. While the show was also aimed at children, the series had plenty of fast-paced storylines with humor that appealed to general audiences just as much as the series’ target demographic. This included emotional moments between characters, whose development made the series one of the most enduring to come from that era of animation.
However,it seemsFoster’s Funtimewill provide a much different experience, as the series’ preschool age range means it will be more educational than its predecessor. The new lineup of characters is also only being joined by Bloo and Madame Foster, with familiar faces like Mac, Frankie, and the other imaginary friends not set to reappear. However, with creator Craig McCracken spearheading this more preschool-friendly version, the show is still likely to retain the same spirit that made the original so well-remembered.
