Horrid Henry

Horrid Henry is the main character of the book series written by Francesca Simon, the animated TV show aired on CITV, and the movie adaption.

Premise
Henry is a horrid kid and hates his parents who just keep nagging him. His wormy brother Perfect Peter is the bane of Henry's life, as well as his arch enemy Moody Margaret. He gives everyone in his life an alliterative nickname which sums up their personality. Henry gets into trouble all the time for doing horrid tricks but sometimes he has a point.

Book series
The book series was first published in 1994, illustrated by Tony Ross. The last book was published in 2019.

TV show
The TV show was first broadcast in 2006 with stories loosely based on some of the books. The first intro song is one of the best compositions of the 00s. The voice acting and the mix of dry and childish humour made the series more iconic than the books.

Movie
The movie was based on the TV series and first released in 2011. It was the first British movie to be filmed in 3D. The saturated colours would make one's eyes bleed, the CGI was dodgy even for 2011 and even children knew something about this movie was off, but it got the tone across anyway. Dick and Dom made an appearance and the film was buried in the depths of other average children's films.
