Trixie and the Treetrunks is an episodic puppet series begun in 2006. As this story unfolds, a terrible snowstorm has destroyed the magical forest, leaving an ugly patch of dirt. Trixie plants a mysterious box of seeds and grows a Happy Tree, which starts giving out secret messages from the Center of the Earth to she and her best friend Marsha. One of the first messages from the tree is to, “start a band”! Soon the ice is melting as they try to find a drummer and get ready for their first gig at Harvest Fest. Quintron and Miss Pussycat are featured in a performance in the Center of the Earth where they play Witch in the Club.

Earth and Blood is slow, but it still has it’s entertaining moments. If you’re into thrillers, or want to watch something new, then this film might be for you. As for me, Earth and Blood was tolerable enough.
In season 3 of 'Umbrella Academy', Diego, Allison, and Viktor finally get character arcs that address their unique experiences as a Latino man, a Black woman who lived through the 60s, and a trans man.
