This episode reflects the sad reality that parents can’t accept the fact that their kids are growing up and going through their own problems. When the mom said “We miss her,” it sounded like an excuse. Really.
“No- our parents don’t know... They don’t question it either. They send us here because we’re ‘acting out’… I think they send us because they’re scared. They see us changing & growing up: we stopped hugging/talking to/listening to them-“ That sounds like one of those messed up “troubled teen” “tough love” “reform programs” (aka abusive torture camps) …
this related to me so much due to the fact that i think that is exactly how i think my parents saw me as a kid and for sure as a teenager. and the scary thing is yes if a place like this existed when i was a kid i do think my parents would have sent me here and not question how i became like that.
I love this episode. It has themes of totalitarianism and rebellion. Music is a tool for revolution. I praise both McKenna Grace and Lauren Lindsey Donzis for their performances.
honestly i just watched this episode and i personally feel like while those ideas are there and i actually liked them the problem i have is i felt like the ideas were just not able to be fully explored. however on a personal note if a place like this was real and existed when i was a kid i actually think my parents would have sent me here because yeah my parents were scared they were scared when i was no longer a well a baby anymore and they were scared and even annoyed i was not turning out the way they wanted and infact were scared constantly that i would become an extremely troubled kid.
Not to mention that reminding someone of who they used to be before they changed, is like telling them they should go back to playing with their dolls.
I can't believe there's a Green Day song in this episode!!!🖤 And for people saying this show is stupid. It may has it stupid parts but in my opinion, its the best darn kid show I've watched in awhile.
honestly after watching this episode just now i am still trying to process it i think it has problems and i think it really over simplifies the ideas it tired to bring up because honestly i just watched this episode and i actually feel like this episode brought up ideas but again it never was never able to fully explore them or did so in a bit of an oversimplifed way.
Simply here for McKenna, the script is quite dumb, even if they're sent home brainwashed all it takes is a bit of music and they're back to normal, dumbest plot I've seen in a while
Give it a break. It's a half hour show for kids. I have fond memories of shows like "Are You Afraid of the Dark" and "Goosebumps" that had similarly ridiculous plots and resolutions.
if only the main character werent so insufferable "OuR pLaNeT iS dYiNg" "Im TrYiNg To SaVe ThE wOrLd" the message was good but they couldve been less hamfisted lol
3:56 same here only I has some high intelligence since I was little but even open minded oblivious to many things abd no compassion yet, but with my Frye dis had the most fun abd middle school started to release the inner nerd inside in me since and 2010 age 14 my newfound wisdom abd appreciation of all cultures abd the old abd revbellious blossomed even the atom former theory learning months after my 18th birthday, and means to cure the worlds problems as she stated in this series and admire intelligence, infinite womens rights,etc and the man that I am now and being myself since 2008
The identity politics and propaganda was WAAAAY too forced, the dialogue was cringe! This show felt like it was written by an angry 13 year old that has built their entire ideology off of TikTok videos.
@@Vamp1re_m0ney There’s a difference between made for kids and made BY kids. And have you ever seen Goosebumps, Haunting Hour and Creeped Out? It’s very possible to do a kids show and make it right.
Yes they do. I know you probably already found out but yes I literally play the Green Day album on repeat multiple times a day well not multiple just mostly different songs
@@Elurin it’s not about thinking harder. It’s just the dumbest thing I’ve heard . Can’t imagine living so paranoid and afraid of everything. Frozen of all things lol
LONG BUT RELEVANT POST AHEAD! I thought this episode, “Leave Them Kids Alone,” was honestly crap. It was also a disgrace to the magnificent song its title is a nod to, Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall.” How lousy is this episode? Let me count the ways. First up, the main character Veronica was about as likable as a diseased cockroach. I’ve never been fond of “Activist”- type characters in movies and TV shows; Rather than “Brave” or “Inspiring,” they usually come across as just obnoxious, self- righteous, arrogant pains in the butt with no respect for anyone who disagrees with them on any subject (Not exactly good role models for the kids who are this show’s primary audience), and Veronica is among the worst of them I’ve ever seen. She acts like it’s such a horrible injustice that she was suspended from school when she jumped on a cafeteria table and yelled at her classmates for eating meat, and after apparently having several other disciplinary problems before that. I kept waiting for her to petulantly call her parents “Fascists.” Her supposed devotion to the environment seems rather hypocritical, too. For instance, when called out by Miss Genevieve for chewing gum, she responds by sticking it on a light pole rather than in a proper trash receptacle; not exactly the most environmentally- friendly thing to do (Not to mention unhygienic and just plain gross). Her actress McKenna Grace isn’t exactly going to be winning any acting awards for her performance either, if you get my drift (Though she thankfully redeemed herself as an actress with her work in the Ghostbusters films). By the end of the episode, I honestly found myself starting to root for Miss Genevieve to give that little brat what she deserved! Also, this may seem like a rather petty nitpick, but in the scene where they’re in a history class talking about the Salem Witch Trials, literally everything said (Both what the history teacher said, and what Veronica interjected to supposedly “Bring some truth” to the lesson) was VERY historically inaccurate. The teenage girls involved in the Salem Witch Trials weren’t the defendants, they were the main ACCUSERS! Their lies got innocent people imprisoned and hanged. I speak both as someone who has a B.A. in History with an unofficial focus on American colonial history, and as someone who is a direct descendant of one of the defendants in the Salem Witch Trials. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not expecting pinpoint accuracy for one short scene of a show aimed at kids, but at least SOME rudimentary knowledge of the actual subject on the writers’ part would have been nice, especially for a scene involving a school history lesson. It would be the equivalent of if a scene took place in an English lesson, and had characters saying that sentences start with lower- case letters. There’s also no mention of why the students’ parents apparently have no clue that their daughters are suddenly mindless zombies, and never do or say anything about it. There's also no mention on how they’re able to brainwash Claire in spite of the metal plate in her head that blocks their machines. Last but certainly not least, the episode’s “Don’t conform” message was unbearably preachy and repetitive. Kids aren’t stupid, they don’t need the messages shoved down their throats that heavily or that frequently. Not exactly a good start to this series that I initially had high hopes for. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll need to put on some good music to get that asinine pseudo- punk “She’s a Rebel” song from the episode (You know, the one that sounds like it was recorded by a third- rate Green Day knockoff band) out of my head.

Especially the expression she gave Veronica. In my opinion, it looked like she was trying to guilt trip Veronica as well.

The 1st episode is pretty good, the bully episode is cringe these are the only episodes I saw.

@@anaclara10635 “Shes a Rebel” :))
I love green day!! :D
Using Green Day to free them was a nice touch. Great episode!
That's not Gen Z's childhood tho that's millennial lol
Oh if I went to this school I be one of two students
1. The nerdiest student they ever met
2. The perfectionist student
NOT THE TWO GIRL BEING NAMED VERONICA AND HEATHER
Girls*
HAHWHAY I KNOW RIGHT
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING
It's like Stepford Wives for schoolgirls.
they tried putting her as a rebel because of her political views, but she doesn't even actually know her political views.
I mean veganism, listening to loud music and climate activism. Those are pretty standard and commonplace forms of "teenaged rebellion" in the US.
That's genie's wife!!! lol. XD
Also Winston’s wife
Where can I watch this now? It’s no longer on Disney+
As far as I’m aware this show is no longer available anywhere
Fuck perfectionism, be yourself
I love this show I hate the fact that it was taken off of disney
Exactly
0:26 Put A Word In And Sort Out Vegan And Vegetarian Options. 🌱🌿
La canción que suena en este capítulo se llama "She's A Rebel" y es de "Green Day". De nada.
3:27
I hope they make a season two
They took it off Disney
Part 2 please
Simply here for McKenna, the script is quite dumb, even if they're sent home brainwashed all it takes is a bit of music and they're back to normal, dumbest plot I've seen in a while
Not unless the parents gets rid of all their rebellious stuff before they come back.
Give it a break. It's a half hour show for kids. I have fond memories of shows like "Are You Afraid of the Dark" and "Goosebumps" that had similarly ridiculous plots and resolutions.
@@Robert-hz9bjWell Goosebumps is coming back as a Disney+ series.
I haven’t watched this yet but who is the girl with short brown hair at 1:11? Is her name Veronica?
Veronica is the blonde girl.
I’ve heard about places like these down south and why do many are not open minded
Filmi nerden izleyebilirim
Please where can I watch full movie?
Disney plus
if only the main character werent so insufferable
"OuR pLaNeT iS dYiNg"
"Im TrYiNg To SaVe ThE wOrLd"
the message was good but they couldve been less hamfisted lol

Why did they have to take this off of Disney + and not give us any way to ever access it again... like I can't buy the episodes? Seriously?
Wonder if there's a obedient school like that for boys?
😍😍😍😍
Imagine thinking that climate activism is still a form of rebellion. 🤡🤡🤡
yes, they are in the Netherland.
Bro its 2024 you need to know what vegan is 😂😂

It's supposed to be a kids show.
What do you expect?
@@Vamp1re_m0ney There’s a difference between made for kids and made BY kids. And have you ever seen Goosebumps, Haunting Hour and Creeped Out? It’s very possible to do a kids show and make it right.
Dude chill out
You clearly don’t know what the word ‘propaganda’ means. It’s a kid’s show , relax …
yeah that is kind of how i felt. like it felt like it was made an angry 13 year old who thinks rebelling is wanting to protest against everything.
I'm sorry, but I have to ask: do kids actually still listen to fucking Green Day? The "American Idiot" album was released like 18 years ago!
Yes they do. I know you probably already found out but yes I literally play the Green Day album on repeat multiple times a day well not multiple just mostly different songs
Like Frozen, propaganda at its worst. Trying to sell an ideology, subtlety; doesn't work!
Frozen is propaganda now? 😂😂
@@johnsullyB If you think about it it really is: ruclips.net/video/aaokmHs71qg/видео.html

A bunch of spoiled entitled brats afraid of actually knowing their place. A feminist's worst nightmare. To bad they didn't stay as obedient children.
yes agree
You obviously don`t know what feminism is past 2016 stereotypes.
