Inner Personality

Inner Personality is a Jetanie traditionally animated children’s television series, produced by Youngvision. It is the second television show to be produced by the company, and is arguably their most known series. The show was created by Amrit Freeland, who also wrote and animated each episode, although Kyon Dickinson was placed as the director for the series in general. The show was premiered in 2002, and lasted three series before ending in 2005. The show was premiered on Z Bop and reran on the channel until 2011. It has also been aired on Nickelodeon around the world.

Premise
The show focuses on eleven-year-old Rosaline Hersham, a Minor 6 pupil who attends Makellos Primary School. Rosaline has been warned by her father, Henry, to avoid trusting people in life, and to be ruthless to those who “deserve it”. On the outside, Rosaline is well-behaved, committed student, but on the inside, she is rude, nasty and immature (although she is nice to a few of the pupils). Due to her clever and sneaky nature, Rosaline gets away with her disdainfulness, but sometimes her “enemies” get the better of her.

Most of the episodes on the show feature Rosaline in school, trying to solve one of her own conflicts, helping one of her friends solve theirs’, or stopping her “enemies” from receiving praise and success.

The show has notably received praise from a list of celebrities; Jetanie recording artist Roar has admitted to liking the show, saying ”[Inner Personality] takes a bit of a questionable approach for a children’s show, but its humour, its animation and its charm is something you will never see in any other show.”

Television reviewing group HotShows were less favourable to the show, giving it a 2 out of 7, saying the show ”can’t decide if it wants to be a black comedy or a kiddie’s drama” and that ”it is difficult to like the show when half the characters are [jerks]”.
