As you know, I have to deal with my high-functioning autism everyday of the year. There are also some other kids on the planet who have it too. The animated series I am asking you to annotate is an ABSOLUTE FAILURE in helping kids with my disease learn how to recognize emotions.

The Transporters is a series of British cartoons that feels like a ripoff of Thomas and Friends. However, instead of having actual faces, they just superimpose real human faces on them! Also, they sound like Microsoft Sam whenever they talk, for some reason. I wonder what network this is on. Here's your link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=QWLREn_vYKg&des...v%3DQWLREn_vYKg

Goodness gracious, this reminds me of that Face Raiders game on the 3DS. I'd say go for it.

You're right about one thing - that show is extremely horrifying in its looks.

That said, I have Autism and I can understand emotions to some extent. I don't need a show about trains to show me how to smile, frown, or any of that. Especially one that uses piss-poor CGI that looks like it came from Gerry's Mod.

Oh, and here's a bit of trivia, the guy narrating is also a voice actor on the North American version of Thomas and Friends.
