Junior Eurovision and Julkalendern: The Series

Junior Eurovision Song Contest and TV Julkalendern: The Series (also known as Junior Eurovision and Julkalendern: The Series) is a animated Scandinavian-Spanish-French-Armenian Elsagate series created by Pecan Butter, Jellie Sandwich and Yu Xia Hsieh.

Plot
This series follows the Junior Eurovision contestants and the previous Christmas calendar characters having a battle against other artists all around the world as they roam around Europe to help people. While they are doing random stuff during their spare time.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The idea of producing a TV series based on Junior Eurovision: The Movie and Julkalendern: The Movie, is not good. Considering that the 2 movies weren't well received at all, as they are considered, one, if not the worst movies of all times.
 * 2) It is an obvious rip-off of The Crazy-Ass Group Show: The Series, Television Presentation.
 * 3) *In fact, they even copy plots from the show.
 * 4) While the animation is decent, some of the Junior Eurovision and Julkalendern characters animated versions and portrayals look like nothing like how they did in The Actual Junior Eurovision Song Contest or their Christmas Calendar.
 * 5) *Alisa Kozhikina's is a notable example, as in the regular Junior Eurovision Song Contest, she wore a white dress, but in this series, she wears a black gothic Lolita dress, Sure, she did wore that in JESC: The Movie, but that was only in a few scenes.
 * 6) *Somehow, Carla is depicted as a trans-gender woman in this series, despite being cisgender in The Movies and The original Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
 * 7) The theme song sequence is just some of Junior Eurovision contestants and Christmas calendar characters doing random stuff like Fortnite dances and even twerking. Not to mention it is on par with the notorious Delivery Dance Commercial.
 * 8) Some of the characters are still unlikable or had their flanderization dialed up into 11, as they still acted nothing like how they did in the actual Junior Eurovision Song Contest or their original Julkalender.
 * 9) *Solea became a spoiled girl who is the most profane just because she made a ridiculous claim about Valentina. She also bullies Rustam Karimov daily.
 * 10) *Helena Meraai became a propaganda participant who claims that there are "Peaceful Protests" in Belarus when they are not. Exactly like in the movie, she also bullies Nikoloz Kajala every day.
 * 11) *Polina Bogusevich's flanderization was cranked up into 11, as not only she became more of a psychopath who is racist against Americans and Ukrainians, but she also became a whiny brat who would bash on people who are not from Russia.
 * 12) *Benny became a male version of Solea but worse.
 * 13) *Valentina became a generic nerdy know-it-all, and she gets really angry when Solea jokes about her mother. In conclusion, she is just a Wish copy of Kyle Broflovski.
 * 14) *Sofia Shkepu, introduced in this series, is now a boring and whiny brat who complains just because she didn’t make it to represent Russia in the Junior Eurovision 2020.
 * 15) To add something to WIS#5, they even added Regular Eurovision Participants, characters, and other celebrities that have nothing to do with Junior Eurovision too. They are also flanderized as well.
 * 16) *Rainbow Kate from Shopkins is portrayed as a hyper and crazy shoppie who is way too energetic.
 * 17) *Rowland the Owl became a narcissist and doesn't care about people's health anymore, and only cares about himself and his drug addiction.
 * 18) *Blake is now a massive narcissistic egocentric jerk, sociopath, psychopath and French stereotype and much like Rowland the Owl, he doesn't care about his friends, at all.
 * 19) *Prince Poo, despite being somewhat likable, is on LSD.
 * 20) *Azure Sauber, although somewhat tolerable compared to the other BlakeIsHere characters is now a stereotype of non-binary people.
 * 21) *Maddie Cástano is now a Neo-Nazi and a stereotypical German who has a huge distaste for Jews, and wishes to kill them.
 * 22) *Blodwen the Welsh Fuzzy Caterpillar remains her flanderized counterpart from United Kingdom: The Movie, as she is an overly tense, impatient and bossy caterpillar, and she also has a tendency to angrily shout at her friends, whenever they do anything wrong, which is mean-spirited.
 * 23) *Lieb the German Tick also remains her flanderized counterpart from United Kingdom: The Movie, as she is a crazy, rabid fangirl of slapstick cartoons, and all of her acts are based on slapstick cartoons, it can be exaggerated to the point where she says that only slapstick cartoons are quality entertainment, and refuses to watch anything else.
 * 24) *Fan from Inanimate Insanity, is exactly like in the movie, as he is a sex-crazed psycho who would defend the perverted characters, he is also obsessed with watching pornography on his computer. Not only that, but he also go as far to kill others when they touch his egg.
 * 25) There are way too many moments that are weird, nonsensical, mean-spirited, inappropriate, horrid, offensive, or just plain disturbing, such as:
 * 26) *Carla finds out that she gained weight while Petar Aničić and Cecilie (Absalons Hemmelighed) take pictures of her as they masturbate to it in "Carla the Fatty".
 * 27) *Data Pavliashvili selling the song "Gabede" by The Virus as an NFT in "The Virus invests in NFTs".
 * 28) *Isea Cili, Mira, Anna Filipchuk, Denislava and Martin fighting over web series in "Webseries Battle".
 * 29) *Lidia Ganeva singing the Nazi German anthem in "Nope, It’s not a Magical Day".
 * 30) *Melani Garcia and Selma Traskvist getting drunk in "The Melani Garcia and Selma Traskvist Adventure Hour".
 * 31) *There is an entire episode dedicated to diaper fetishes, called "Eliana Gomez Blanco's Diaper Fetish".
 * 32) *Mila Moskov and Evin committing arson at a Golden Corral Restaurant in "Mila Moskov and Evin Commits Arson".
 * 33) *Sona Azizova vandalizing a school with graffiti, and trapping Rustam Karimov in a tiger cave in "Nope, It’s not a Magical Day".
 * 34) *Dalita Avanesian and Alice setting the Entire cities of Yerevan and Själevad on fire, which caused the JESC participants and Julkalendern characters to relocate to Gyumri and Örnsköldsvik respectively for a few episodes in "It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Dalita & Alice".
 * 35) *Tanya Mezhentseva getting on the Internet thinking she is going to win a trip to Disneyland but it showed images of a naked woman and she screams in fear in "Tanya and Mila Get Scammed".
 * 36) *Mie (Kometernes Jul) and Sara Markoska giving people wedgies in "Fading Cane's".
 * 37) *Blake and Oilman committing arson on a milk truck in "Fading Cane's".
 * 38) *Solea and Helena Merrai calling the members of Sweet Taboo "Stupid-ass Fat Bimbos" in "What is the American Song Contest?".
 * 39) *Viki Gabor, Rachel Traets, Persilija (Tonttuakatemia), and Sophia Ivanko having edit wars on Miraheze wikis in "You're kidding me, Viki!".

 * 42) *Polina Bogusevich and Sona Azizova  shooting up a school and killing 19 innocent children and 2 teachers  in "Please Don't Hurt Me…". What is worse is that this episode was aired on May 24, 2025, which is exactly the 3 year anniversary of the Robb Elementary School shooting.
 * 43) **In fact, that scene even caused the entire series to get banned in New Zealand.
 * 44) *Femke Meines urinating on a dead cat in "It's Solea and Benny Time!".
 * 45) *Fan having sex with an Belle Delphine body pillow, live at Disneyland in "How to Have Sex at Disneyland 101.
 * 46) Some episodes teaches bad lessons and morals. Okay, Yes, know that there were made for the use of irony or sarcasm, but some people might take this the wrong way, here are some examples:
 * 47) *"Carla the Fatty" teaches that bodyshaming is okay.
 * 48) *"Screenshot Mishap" states that doing sexual activities in the public is fine.
 * 49) *"Mila Moskov and Evin Commits Arson" shows that you should commit arson just because you got the wrong food at a buffet restaurant.
 * 50) *"Euro-fuck" teaches that being racist and/or xenophobic is okay.
 * 51) *"Please Don't Hurt Me…" teaches that if you are bullied, suffering from depression and that you get held back, than you should start a shooting.
 * 52) This show is filled with episodes that are bad or just mediocre, such as:

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The animation is actually pretty decent, as they try to capture the original style of the characters.

 * 3) *In fact, even some of the flanderized characters became more likable or even redeemed themselves.
 * 4) There are some good or decent episodes, such as "The Next time in Yerevan", "Karina Ignatyan in Wonderland" (a decent way to start the series), "A Lazily Titled Episode", "Luleå and Anastasiya Petryk’s EarthBound Tour", "Lillan & Marìa Isabel’s Japanese Indian cooking show", "Marta Viola goes to Chicago", and "Rafi and Mariam Mamadashvili's Lo-Fi coffee shop".
