Pelswick is a popular animated series from Nelvana that aired in the early 2000s. The show revolves around the life of Pelswick Eggert, a teenage boy who uses a wheelchair and faces all the struggles of being a teenager, along with a few added difficulties due to his disability.

The titular character is voiced by Robert Tinkler, who does an excellent job of portraying Pelswick's humor and strength of character. Despite his physical limitations, Pelswick is quite resilient and has a positive attitude towards life. He has an excellent sense of humor, and his wit and sarcasm often help him deal with the challenges he faces.

Pelswick lives with his quirky family, including his little sister, Kate (voiced by Julie Lemieux), who often helps him out of tricky situations, his overprotective mother, Goosie (voiced by Tracey Moore), and his eccentric grandfather, Mr. Jimmy (voiced by David Arquette).

Together, the Egbert family faces a wide range of situations, from dealing with school bullies, nosy neighbors, and rival love interests. The show also tackles issues surrounding disability in a way that is both realistic and sensitive, without being overly preachy.

The show's supporting cast is also noteworthy, with standout performances by Peter Oldring as Pelswick's best friend, Ace and Charles Adler as Boyd, the school bully. The animation is by Nelvana, and it is evident that the creators took a lot of care to create a world that is colorful, vibrant, and full of life.

Overall, Pelswick is an entertaining and insightful show that explores the challenges of adolescence and disability with humor and sensitivity. The show's unique perspective, combined with its relatable characters and impressive visuals, make it a must-watch for anyone interested in cartoons or disability representation.

Pelswick is a series that ran for 2 seasons (26 episodes) between November 22, 2001 and on Nelvana
