Kerri

Strawberry Sweetcake

Sorry it took me a while to find this week's focus...

Will come back with my thoughts/highlights...
But so you know, on Codename KND...
Numbah 5's name is Abigail Lincoln.
Cree, who used to be Numbah 311 before she turned thirteen years old and turned against the KND, is Abigail's older sister.
They kinda parody the Cosby Family with Numbah 5's family on Codename KND.

Check ya later.

Um, I think when she grew up, she lived on an Indian reservation, and I think she may have lived on a bus too. Anyway, I think she ran away from home, and scored the role as penny on Inspector Gadget at age 13 which was her first acting gig, and just about the only one where she sounds different.
By the way, her dad played the cat man on Harriet The Spy.

She was also the voice of Pilgrim in Kermit's Swamp Years

Hi Xerus, got some observations for ya'.
ATLANTIS: Princess Kida
ATLANTIS 2: Princess Kida
This was the one titled Milo's Journey right? Seen it, thought it'd serve as a decent pilot for an animated series if they broke the movie up into the three individual adventures.
BAMBI 2: Mena
This is the only one of Disney's "sequels" that hasn't aired/premiered on Toon Disney yet.
BATMAN BEYOND: Max Gibson
Yes, only regret is that we didn't get to see the last episode in the series.
CAMP LAZLO: Fern
Of the Squirrel Scouts, who's Fern?
CODENAME, KIDS NEXT DOOR: Numbah 5, Cree, Delightful Children From Down the Lane
*Check my other post.
DANNY PHANTOM: Valerie Gray
Haven't seen this show yet... Interested in maybe getting into the series.
DRAWN TOGETHER: Foxxy Love
Good show, haven't seen it in a while.
GARGOYLES: Hyena
Yes... One of the three who remained villainous to the end of the series.
HELLO KITTY'S FURRY TALE THEATRE: Catnip
Taking me back to my childhood... This was the tall thin girl cat right?
HISTERIA!: Aka Pella
Sorry, but what character was that?
THE INCREDIBLE HULK(1997): She Hulk(second voice)
Around what storyline did she start doing the voice of Jennifer Walters?
INSPECTOR GADGET: Penny(first voice)
Yep, another one from back in the day.
JUNGLE CUBS: Louie(second voice)
See, this voice change I know of... Frankly, I prefered the first voice for Louie.
MUMMIES ALIVE: Nefertina
Another good more recent series I remember.
MY GYM PARTNER IS A MONKEY: Carrie, Mrs. Tusk
Mrs. Tusk has a bit of a Jamaican accent, it works well for her.
PEPPER ANN: Tessa James, Vanessa James
Ah yes, the twins. For that matter, does she voice Cheryl and Meryl the Toucan twins from Brandy and Mr. Whiskers?
PINKY, ELMYRA, & THE BRAIN: Elmyra
SABRINA, THE ANIMATED SERIES: Chloe
SLIMER AND THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS: Chilly Cooper

Yep, the dragon introduced in Season 2. Shame that series got cut-off, it's really the best of them all.
TINY TOON ADVENTURES: Elmyra, Mary Melody(second voice)
Don't forget, Elmyra's family name is Duff.
THE WEEKENDERS: Mrs. Descartes, Todd Descartes, Penny Descartes
Another one I kinda liked... Carver's Mom, younger sister, and littlest sibling.

Just my thoughts, looking forward to the next one of these.

Hi Count. Here are my answers to you.

ATLANTIS: Princess Kida
ATLANTIS 2: Princess Kida
This was the one titled Milo's Journey right? Seen it, thought it'd serve as a decent pilot for an animated series if they broke the movie up into the three individual adventures.

The sequel was called Milo's Return. I too wished it would've been a series, but they only made it a 3 part movie. Oh well.


BAMBI 2: Mena
This is the only one of Disney's "sequels" that hasn't aired/premiered on Toon Disney yet.

I haven't seen that movie yet.


BATMAN BEYOND: Max Gibson
Yes, only regret is that we didn't get to see the last episode in the series.

I don't remember the last episode either.

CAMP LAZLO: Fern
Of the Squirrel Scouts, who's Fern?

I don't really know. The boards said that Cree did a character called Fern. Maybe she's a lesser known scout. I don't watch Camp Lazlo too much.

CODENAME, KIDS NEXT DOOR: Numbah 5, Cree, Delightful Children From Down the Lane
*Check my other post.

I'll have to read it and get back to you on that.

DANNY PHANTOM: Valerie Gray
Haven't seen this show yet... Interested in maybe getting into the series.

It's an okay series.

DRAWN TOGETHER: Foxxy Love
Good show, haven't seen it in a while.

Cree really played Foxxy great on that series and I loved her songs too.

GARGOYLES: Hyena
Yes... One of the three who remained villainous to the end of the series.

Yes, Cree played a really great villaness in that show.


HELLO KITTY'S FURRY TALE THEATRE: Catnip
Taking me back to my childhood... This was the tall thin girl cat right?

Yes, that's right.

HISTERIA!: Aka Pella
Sorry, but what character was that?

She's this little African American girl who was usually part of the Histeria Kid Chorus.


THE INCREDIBLE HULK(1997): She Hulk(second voice)
Around what storyline did she start doing the voice of Jennifer Walters?

In the second season. After Lisa Zane.

INSPECTOR GADGET: Penny(first voice)
Yep, another one from back in the day.

Yep, that's where I first heard the name Cree.

JUNGLE CUBS: Louie(second voice)
See, this voice change I know of... Frankly, I prefered the first voice for Louie.

Me too, Jason Marsden was the first Louie.

MUMMIES ALIVE: Nefertina
Another good more recent series I remember.

I haven't really watched that series much. Only 3 episodes.

MY GYM PARTNER IS A MONKEY: Carrie, Mrs. Tusk
Mrs. Tusk has a bit of a Jamaican accent, it works well for her.

Yes, it does.

PEPPER ANN: Tessa James, Vanessa James
Ah yes, the twins. For that matter, does she voice Cheryl and Meryl the Toucan twins from Brandy and Mr. Whiskers?

No, Sherri Shepherd voices the toucans.


SLIMER AND THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS: Chilly Cooper
Was this the African-American female mail lady?

I think she was the ice cream truck lady.

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG: Dulcy
Yep, the dragon introduced in Season 2. Shame that series got cut-off, it's really the best of them all.

It seemed like when second seasons happen on cartoons, a new character is added and Cree gets to voice them. Like Dulcy, Spencer from Problem Child, and Susie from Rugrats.

TINY TOON ADVENTURES: Elmyra, Mary Melody(second voice)
Don't forget, Elmyra's family name is Duff.

Oh yes. A parody of Elmer Fudd.

THE WEEKENDERS: Mrs. Descartes, Todd Descartes, Penny Descartes
Another one I kinda liked... Carver's Mom, younger sister, and littlest sibling.

Yep, Cree voiced almost all those family members.

Just my thoughts, looking forward to the next one of these.[/QUOTE]

Thank you. I'll find a really good focus for you.

I thought Cree's number was 11. And yes, I know Numbah 5's real name is Abigail Lincoln. And I liked their Bill Cosby-like Dad too.

OK... Going through these...
No, Cree's number was 311. Incidentally, Hogie Gilligan (Numbah 2) has a crush on her.
Batman Beyond's last episode, titled Unmasked, never aired... Because the weekend it would've aired was when 9/11 took place.
Asking cause Camp Lazlo's main female cast consists of:
Patsy Smiles the Mongoose, who has a crush on Lazlo... And I kinda like.
Gretchen, don't know what animal.
Nina, don't know what animal.
Jane Doe the Scoutmastriss of Camp Acorn.
Almond Dean, don't know what animal.
Miss Mucus.
Never heard of Fern till your V/A focus.
Gargoyles... Ah, what can I say... One of the best shows of all-time for me.
Pella... OK, know who you're talking about now.
Chilly Cooper, the ice cream vendor... Yes, sorry, got her confused from the episode where they did some sort of concert and she was singing "Mr. Postman".

Looking forward to the next one.
