Critic Reviews

80 Los Angeles Times Robert Lloyd
A smart, amiable, colorful new cartoon series.
75 Detroit Free Press Mike Duffy
A clever new animated series.
75 Entertainment Weekly Clark Collis
Cute enough if you're 8 years old or under. [3 Nov 2006, p.71]
70 Newsday Diane Werts
The show moves more like a ready-for-prime-time comedy than a kiddie toon. Think "The Simpsons" with soul.
70 Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond
The visual style is nothing terribly special, but the hues are rich, the writing reasonably clever and the premise a healthy cut above the often lame-o material that passes for creativity in the kiddie toon universe.
70 Philadelphia Inquirer Jonathan Storm
Frenetically energetic, as all good music-school cartoons should be, Class of 3000, like The Simpsons, has material for young and old alike.
60 Washington Post John Maynard
Benjamin clearly did not sell out with this good-natured, inspirational cartoon.
60 The New York Times Virginia Heffernan
An eclectic, speedy and fun-enough cartoon.
60 Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
A slight but appealing mix of old-school Saturday morning cartoons from the early 1970s along with happy hip-hop tunes.
30 Variety Brian Lowry
Limited animation, uninspired character design and ho-hum writing conspire to keep this all on a rudimentary level.
