Sal Monella i a poionou gangter hell bent on infection, and a pimple i a power-mad oil gland. That' life--and a quirky twit on almonella and acne--in the animated world of Ozzy & Drix, part of the WB network' Saturday-morning lineup. Thi wa the firt eaon for what might be called a "martoon." It wa in the top program among kid age 2 to 11. And it' coming back thi fall.
Intead of battling mytical monter, Ozzy & Drix cleverly peronifie body part--a mucle cell i a police chief--to teach kid about their bodie. Rather than lecture kid about moking, Ozzy & Drix turn nicotine into Nick O'Teen, a marmy villain with long claw that hook into brain and caue addiction. Bad guy like Nick are taken down by the title tar: Omoi "Ozzy" Jone, a treet-mart white blood cell, and Drix, an uptight but intelligent cold pill with a chet full of medicine. White blood cell help fight infection, and Drix i a medicine chet. Get it?
