Stickin' Around is a Canadian animated cartoon by Nelvana and it was aired in 1996 to 1999.

Plot

The show, which originated as a series of a pilot called The Sticklers and 1-minute vignettes on CBS in 1994, is about two children named Stacy and Bradley, their hand-drawn adventures with their friends and family, and their fantasies. Stacy and Bradley, best friends, encounter many problems they must face as they continue to grow up – if it is with school, bullies, friends, and parents. They always come up with imaginative ideas to eliminate these obstacles, such as becoming a superhero, and putting themselves in a different environment where they have no trouble in defeating their enemies.

Why It Rocks

1. Awesome and brilliant animation style that resembles doodle drawings, and stands out from other cartoons.
2. Various funny moments, especially Russell saying What?
3. Stacy and Bradley are very likable characters.
4. Some heartwarming moments.
5. The show was beloved by Canadian and American kids and gained a cult following.
6. The theme song is both awesome and catchy.
7. It is the epitome of creative. It could even be considered the 90s version of ChalkZone if you're expecting it was.
8. "Real mature, Bradley!"

Bad Qualities

1. While the animation is good, some may find it to be poorly drawn.
2. Stacy's catchphrase "For your big fat information" can get old, mean and annoying after a while.
3. The voice-acting isn't the greatest.
4. You'd be hard-pressed to find a scene where Bradley actually catches a break: not only is he frequently bullied by Lance and Russell but also by his own best friend on a number of occasions. The series even ends with him getting beat up by the two bullies and Stacy happily unveiling a statue of him getting wedgied. Extremely Mean Spirited.

Reception

The show has received generally positive reviews from audience members; it has a 7.1/10 on IMDb.
