    Dear Podkinz, I love animated movies and shows! My favorite animated TV show is My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. Even though that show was made for little girls, you don’t have to be a little girl to enjoy it, because it’s fun, funny, adventurous, and generally just awesome! My favorite animated movie series is the Land Before Time series since I love dinosaurs (bet you can tell from my username), and my favorite movie from that series is The Stone of Cold Fire. It’s crazy, but I have actually seen that movie so many times by now that I almost know that whole thing by heart! ~dinosaurtracker13

    I love animation! I’ve actually been thinking about studying it in college. I think that it’s very cool, and I would love to take part in making animated movies one day. So far, I would have to say that the “How To Train Your Dragon” movies are my favorite animated movies.

    The Webkinz Day counter in my Webkinz house says today is Webkinz Day. If that’s true, how have I missed any reference to it on Webkinz Newz?? Are we just ignoring it this year because it’s ‘Webkinz Year’ ?

    Dear Gennelle, You are possibly my only hope. Speaking of berries, I garden in my Fantasy Garden every day but my moonberries and sno-cones do not change to healthy when weeded, watered or harvested! This has been going on for months now and my requests for a fix has been sent to support, customer comments, several comment sections in Webkinz News, etc. Nothing happens. Support acknowledged my fix request, but never fixed the problem or told me why it is happening. I empty my cache each time I leave WWorld. Now, I have another problem as well. For the last 4 or 5 days, Bingoz tells me I’ve already had my 1, 2 and 3 plays. Well, I haven’t. It won’t let me play! Please, after months of trying to get some help, won’t you PLEASE fix my berries and Bingoz? I have 2 accounts and they both have the same problems. Thank you, Gennelle. shoshoneno1

    I am Deluxe and IF WE WE’RE ALLOWED TO VOTE we would like to know ahead of time WHAT WILL RETIRE !! I pay to play and think collecting items I need for FUTURE ROOMS is VERY VERY important . Like the SOAKER TUBS I had WEBKINZ MATS saved to put around every tub I got from my family . I had like 10 mats. SO when an ITEM RETIRES it may be an item I REALLY REALLY COUNTED ON GETTING BUT MY JARS ARE NOT FULLY FILLED. I do have my jard in most rooms needing about 20 each I play every day. I have in the WISH FACTORY Haunted picture I have 5 saved for next Halloween and clocks also. I SO COUNT on being able to get the PLAZMA BALLS I need them in ALL SORTS OF ROOMS. Halloween , Science , Mystic rooms with 4 Persian pillows around one . They are SO NEEDED in so many places like also next to a campfire to play with instead of a OUIJA BOARD ;) . PLEASE LET US KNOW AHEAD OF TIME PLEASE !!!

    Dear PodKinz, I one of my favorite animated movies is The Lego Movie. The majority of movies or shows that I watch are either animated or they might have some other magical twist to it, like the Harry Potter movies. Anyway, I like The Lego Movie because the Warner Bros. company takes something that I know a lot about and make it into a movie. And the plot of that movie is so much like what happens with Legos in real life! I also love how everything really looks like it is built with Legos! Like if there is water, they don’t make it look like actual water, but water made of Legos! Your faithful listener, NMKID4527

      And now a question for the animator: How do you get the virtual Webkinz to have to have sparks in their eyes and not make them look like pupils????? I have drawn Webkinz quite a bit and I just can’t get the same effect!

  9. NMKID4527 says:

    Ugh, I can’t think of any puns really. I know that there is probably, like, a field of them out there but I just can’t find any to pick……..hmmm…….

    • NMKID4527 says:

      Oh right! Thanks for posting my comment! I hope some players of Jumbleberry Fields got some good tips from there! That really is some good juicy jam in that large paragraph! Did I put, “-NMKID527″ at the end of that comment? I would’ve meant NMKID4527 but that’s not anyone’s fault! Just mine! :P But thanks!
