The Mighty B! 4-Disc Box Set DVD
The Mighty B! is the late-2000s and early-2010s Nickelodeon animated comedy from Amy Poehler, Cynthia True, and Erik Wiese about Bessie Higgenbottom, an enthusiastic young Honeybee scout in San Francisco who believes that collecting every available badge will turn her into The Mighty B, a superhero of unspecified abilities. The series aired on Nickelodeon and Nicktoons across 2008 through 2011, with a 39-episode run.
The format is the appeal: each broadcast bundle pairs two short stories with Bessie's running optimistic-Honeybee energy and her chaotic relationship with her younger brother, holding the show's signature blend of San-Francisco-set absurdism and exuberant-character comedy as the engine. Episode titles like "So Happy Together," "We Got The Bee," "Apoxalypse Now," "Children Of The Unicorn," and "A Pirate's Life For B" telegraph the show's commitment to its specific brand of weirdness. The animation is loose and elastic, with Poehler's voice performance grounding the entire show.
For late-2000s and early-2010s Nickelodeon programming, this was a notable swing at translating Poehler's signature comedic energy into a long-running animated format, sitting in the lineage of celebrity-led original-cartoon programming. Suited for fans of Amy Poehler's broader work, viewers with affection for the era's particular brand of Nickelodeon original animation, and anyone with a soft spot for the broader exuberant-girl-protagonist tradition.
Standouts worth revisiting include "So Happy Together / Sweet Sixteenth" (the opener), "We Got The Bee" (an early classic), "Apoxalypse Now / Hive Jacked" (a thematic peak), "Higginbottom's 7" (a parody-rich swing), and "A Pirate's Life For B" (the closer). This 4-DVD collection brings 39 episodes of The Mighty B! into one place.
Stars: Amy Poehler, Dee Bradley Baker, Grey Griffin
