Art Attack

Art Attack is currently streaming on major platforms, and it rewards the patience it asks of you. 20 seasons of it means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. 51 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Neil Buchanan leads a cast that never overplays its hand. Available now — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason Art Attack keeps coming up in conversation. The writing in Art Attack treats its characters as people first, plot devices second. Art Attack is a British children's television series revolving around art. The original series was one of CITV's longest running programmes, running from 1990 to 2007, and was presented throughout by Neil Buchanan. The new series launched on Disney Junior on 6 June 2011 and was presented by Jassa Ahluwalia. Neil Buchanan leads a cast that brings real weight to the material. 20 seasons (1990–2007) gave the story room most shows never get. The writing trusts the audience to sit with ambiguity rather than wrapping everything up in a tidy conclusion — it is the approach that separates good drama from great. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Art Attack is what you recommend to people who say they do not really watch much. Blaze and the Monster Machines is the obvious comparison, but Art Attack earns its own place alongside it. 20 seasons in, there is no shortage of material once you get started. Neil Buchanan is the centre of it, and it is one of their strongest performances on record. The patience it asks of you early on is paid back with interest.

Art Attack wrapped up in 2007, created by and starring Neil Buchanan — and 20 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
