i love this podkinz episode i am gonna do some 3d art soon
Oh cool I love 3D art!
HI PodKinz! I like elections sometimes but I know thaw they can get annoying, especially in real life. I am in a troop which is kind of like a girl scout troop but at the same time it isn’t like one. in this troop I was elected to be photographer so that every time my troop meets, I get to take pictures of what all of the girls are doing in their different units! I think the only reason that I was elected was because every one else dropped out of that position at the last minute! I love to take pictures of the units and at the end of the year, all of the pictures are put into a slide show! I love to see all of the memories of our troop!
That sounds fun NMKID :)
Really cool NMKID! :D If only I could see that slide show and see how much fun you had!
My comment was read! =) I’m pretty sure it was my first comment on a Podkinz video too. (super smiles =D =D =D) Also, I love doing stop motion animation too! School and breaking my finger have prevented me from drawing and photography/film making. It’s hard enough for me to even write with my left hand (which is not my dominate hand :P), much less draw with it (and I had to do it for a project. It was a lot better than I had expected though.) But, I have not given up hope on my hand yet, and I can’t really anyway.
Yeah I heard it congratulations It’s always fun to have your comment read :)
Ya I remember mine was read twice! But that was a long time ago. I hope my comment get’s read this time!
Mine was read twice too, that was 2 episodes ago :) I hope my comments gets read again!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE read my comments again Kinz :D
Congratulations guys! :D I hope they read mine sometime soon.
Hey, Gennelle! I’ve been thinking about this for quite a long time! You guys should make an animated web series of webkinz on webkinz newz! :D Wouldn’t that be SOOO awesome! But I’m not saying I DESPERATELY want you to make an animated web series like that, I just thought it was a good idea to put out that’s all. :)
That would be cool :)
IKR!!! xD
I’ve always wanted to do something like that! Of course, I’d also need to actually learn how to do computer animations like that; while I consider myself very good at drawing, I actually have never learned how to animate. ): I imagine I would also need to get permission from GANZ first, but there isn’t really a point in doing that if I’m not ready to take on the project yet.
Dear Podkinz, I’m sorry but don’t really like Daisy Doe that much. I think I just stopped liking her because of wut she wants to do if she becomes mayor. My opinion to Daisy Doe is that its great to eat healthier! But once in a while its ok to have a little snack but just not all the time.
Hi Genelle, I have a problem that I need help with. So every time I try to enter a contest like the Safika Lemur one it always says I get health problem incorrect but I always answer it correctly (34) it’s always the same question and I always get it wrong. What should I do?
I’m really not sure what’s going on! Try contacting Customer Support at webkinzsupport@ganz.com or go here to submit a ticket: http://support.ganzworld.com/ganzworld-cs/ .
Thank you :D
The answer is actually (32), so that may be why it keeps saying that you got it wrong.
Weird :) thnx
Genelle is the foggiest fox I know XD
LOL yup same here! xD
I meant foxiest :l foxes are my second fav animal next to pandas
Haha foggiest works too!
lol Gennelle☺☻☺
Yup! lol
Oh! I love pandas, my first favorite animals are cats, but pandas are AWESOMW too!:)
Oh hi Maurizio!! If you go to the let’s draw archives I left a special comment for you :) you are my inspiration to art and my role model :). And Genelle you are in my “people I want to meet” list and I think you have a beautiful laugh thanks for all the awesome podkinz you spend your time on! XOXOXOXOXOXO
Dear Podkinz, I can’t wait for the elections and I can’t wait to find out who will become mayor of Kinzcille :) My advice to anyone who is becoming mayor of a club or an activity, is listen to everyone and do things that will help everyone :)
#playnowpuppy I have sent you a friend request and I hope I can make it to your party I think you are so cool and nice :)
Thanks a bunch u are so nice and sweet :) I just logged on and accepted your friend request :)
Hi playnowpuppy! Thanks for friending me! I sent you a gift and I hope you like it! :D
That’s so nice of u! I just opend your gift and I ♥ it! I sent u gifts in return hope u like them :) thanks again for the gifts my pets look very stylish now :)
Me too! I know this isn’t an official election but I was selected to be part of MS Student Council this year!:)
That sounds fun balletbear5M :) I bet you’re excited :D
I was REALLY super excited!:D
Oh! Seriously good advice, playnowpuppy! Wish the candidates for Kinzville mayor would follow it! :D
Thanks I was thinking of Daisy Doe when I wrote that :)
That’s good advice, playnowpuppy. :) On the flip side though, if you are running for a position of authority, just remember that you can’t please everybody. Everyone has different opinions, and there will always be at least one person who doesn’t like what you do, no matter what field you go into. Playnowpuppy is right in saying that you should listen to everyone’s ideas, but that alone is not a deciding factor; if you’re a leader, you should take their thoughts into consideration before you make a final decision. That’s just my two cents.
Great Podkinz episode I loved learning about 3-D art :D
I have a question what happen to the game Bamboo Break? I remember reading somewhere it was taken down to be worked on? Great Podkinz by the way.
Yeah I was wondering that too :( It was a great game :)
I do a little 3-D art on my computer. :)
I like doing stop-motion movies! I make some out of clay, it is a lot of fun! :D
That sounds really cool jkj1004 :) I’de love to see some of your stop motion videos some time, are u allowed to post your videos on youtube?
Unfortunately not, sorry playnowpuppy. :( But maybe in the future! :D
That’s finep jkjk1004, like u said maybe in the future :D
YA WOOHOO!!! xD
Could Jerry the frog be Mayor?
