There have been a number of excellent animated shows aimed at adults that never received their just dues.  Series’ like Axe Cop and Undergrads were canceled before their time to shine.  Typically, if an animation can push past those first couple seasons, they tend to enjoy some ramblings of a dedicated fan base.  Any show that has endured four seasons is in an illustrious club of under 30 television series’ all time.  But, out of that elite club, one show seemed to push through despite being before its time and underappreciated.

Home Movies was an American animated series developed by Tom Snyder Productions- known today as Soup2Nuts.  It featured a group of small children with dreams of producing films.  Between filming shorts, and going to school, they would often have to deal with their alcoholic soccer coach and a world of strange characters.  Home Movies endured a turbulent run, managing to squeeze out 52 episodes over four seasons.  While the series gained a cult following, it is often unrecognized for its accomplishments and is usually forgotten in the conversation of legendary animated shows.  Let’s review ten reasons why Home Movies deserved better ratings, and why we should all give it another watch.
