Slugterra: Return Of The Shane Gang

Cool video
My son LOVES Slugterra so this was the perfect birthday present. He has already watched it several times! Great gift idea!

It may draw some comparison to "Pokemon" but "Slugterra" is a pretty solid animated series!
In 2012, the new sci-fi action animated series "SlugTerra" made its debut on Disney XD in October 2012.

An American/Canadian co-production created by Asaph Fipke (co-founder of Nerd Corps Entertainment and worked on series such as "Beast Wars", "Beast Machines", "ReBoot", "Heavy Gear" and "Max Steel"), the animation is produced by Fipke's Animation studio Nerd Corps Entertainment.

With 22 episodes aired on television, the first five episodes will be released on DVD titled "SlugTerra: Return of the Shane Gang" in February 2012.

"SlugTerra" is a series that begins with Will Shane, the protector of SlugTerra taking on his arch nemesis Dr. Thaddius Blakk. As Dr. Blakk tried to unleash an evil power using a ghoul slug in SlugTerra that would envelop Will Shane, Will uses his blaster to shoot out his slug Burpee to find his young son Eli to find a letter before he is enveloped.

Burpee shows young Eli a letter that his father left to him, just in...

My Daughter loves this series. It's not just for boys!
My daughter is almost seven and she loves this show. She wants a Slugterra birthday party! She likes how the slugs in the show require being treated humanely (unlike the ghoul slugs which need healing) and she likes how the slugs just want to be hard workers and do what it is they know how to do. She is so thrilled and excited when a slug hits 100 miles per hour and reaches its potential for greatness. Good thing they have "Trixie" in the Shane Gang so the girls have someone to identify with. Trixie will come on and my daughter will say "watch" as if something terribly important is happening. Although this show does have slug shooter things that look like guns the real power the show has for my girl is the power of transformation, cooperation, and the possibility of healing for those we might otherwise give up on. Way to go, Slugterra!
