Pelswick

Pelswick is a comic, animated children's video series from Nickelodeon. The titular character, Pelswick Eggert (Robert Tinkler) is a 13 year-old paraplegic boy who uses a wheelchair. Like most eighth-graders, Pelswick despises authority and believes himself to be rather invincible. He also has a healthy sense of humor about his condition and demands to be treated no differently than his non-paraplegic peers. Pelswick is often accompanied by his best friend, Ace Nakamura (Phil Guerrero), a technological genius who is usually the most rational and analytical of Pelswick's friends. Other major characters include Pelswick's guardian angel (David Arquette), who often tries to provide helpful life advice but fails miserably, and Pelswick's romantic interest Julie Smockford (Julie Lemieux), who has unfortunately placed Pelswick firmly in the "friend zone." Every hilarious episode also contains a serious message for children and adults: disabled people are human beings just like everybody else, and must be treated with respect. MORE
