Fred's Head: Difference between revisions

Fred's Head is a European/Canadian animated series made by Spectra Animation featuring Fred, a sixteen years old teen and his not-so-normal life.

"Fred`s Head" takes us in the whirlwind life of a teenager with serious reservations about the adult world. In the courses of his adventures, a multitude of eccentric characters pull him in all directions in search of his identity: among them, a psychotic psychologist, an extremely odd best friend, an exotic lady immune to his charms, fashion trends devotees, and a horror film aficionado.

The style of animation when designing the girls is pretty much like the 2D Bratz series. While some girls have no nose (which makes them cuter), we can see them when they turn to their left or right. However, some other girls had a better look with a nose, like Anette Freeze-Dright and, more recently, Fanny Cotton.

This program is rated 14 due to some crude humor, rare bad language and adult references.

At the end of every episode, Fred will say a quote in relation with the episode. These are actually bright quotes with sometimes funny endings. Sometimes, other characters will appear on the quote. Per example, at the end of the episode "Madam Butterfly", after Fred says his quote, Madam Butterfly appears and asks him who he's speaking to. One thing is clear about these quotes however: these are always true, no matter how weird they are.

The official Fred's Head website is designed like Fred's brain. The main page is the control center, where one can move the eyes, see all his highscores, reach a specific section of the brain and finally, can pull something...

The brain is separate in five other sections, that are also divided from 1 to 3 sections. All these areas are flled up with things to click on, creating different effects.

The ego section is separate between the feminine ego (represented by Penelope) and the masculine ego (represented by Benji). The two pages are two games: Male Basketball and Jump in the Fizz (explained lower).

The opinion section (represented by Fabienne) opened not so long ago. The first section gives you the possibility of creating a character. The second section is filled with wallpapers and other stuff for your computer. The last section is Fabienne telling famous quotes of the series to Anette, and you have to choose the right character who said it. Per example, the answer is Penelope for the quote "You should always see a guy in bathing suit before you decide to go out with him".

The Grey Matter section is represented by Fred's mother. It contains three other sections: First, the De-Evolutor, a game explained lower. Then, an orientation test to see where one would go when getting a job. Last, a kitchen where Boon Mee and Madame Butterfly are, and in which you can either see the different quotes Fred said in previous episodes or picking up a fortune cookie that gives funny comments (i.e. Void if Open.)

The memory section is represented by Madame Butterfly. In the memory section, there is the living room, where one can see small videos from the episodes, look at photos of Fred and his family, see the resume of past episodes and read the description of all students of St-Judes High School. There is also the map of the website.

Finally, the subconscious part of Fred's brain is represented by GG. When one enters, he is welcomes by the school's psychologist, Anemone Worrynaut, and can pass a test to see if he is "blasé". By clicking on the dream machine, he can also access two dreams, a good dream and a nightmare. The good dream is the game "Play with your body", explained lower. The nightmare is "Buck Naked in St-Judes".

Five computer games could be found on Fred's Head website.

Play with your Body Changing the posture of Fred, the goal of the game is to re-create the same posture as Anette. After five postures, a note out of 100 is given to the player.

De-Evolutor This game can also be played with the webcam. Fred must de-evolute falling UFOs. A very strange game.

Buck Naked in St-Judes Uh oh! For an unexplained reason, Fred is now naked... right in the center of St-Judes! He must catch all his clothes to end a level, but must avoid people's looks at his... organ by hiding himself. The censure is brilliant. Is this a possible plot for an upcoming episode?

Male Basketball Still in trouble, Fred has to make many good basket points or he will get entirely shaved... even the hidden parts of the body...

Jump in the Fizz Penelope partcipates to a contest. She jumps off a plane and must catch all pink clothes to win! Don't worry, she has a parachute...
