Well then guys when The Lego Movie came out i quickly became a fan and when The Lego Batman Movie came out i was even more of a fan and now Cartoon Network has made a TV series out of the character Unikitty and i'm going to let you all know right now my thoughts will be based on the premier episode alone so here we go.
The plot of this episode finds Unikitty , her brother Puppycorn , Hawkodile and Dr. Fox who are all friends getting trapped in a game and they have to complete the game in order to escape. That little character introduction i gave you is way more then what the episode gave us which makes me wonder if this was intended to air later in the series run but in terms of story it actually reminded me of the Jumanji cartoon.
This episode and the series stars Tara Strong who's replacing Alison Brie from The Lego Movie , Grey Griffin , Roger Craig Smith and the girl who's everywhere right now Kate Micucci. In all honesty the voice acting isn't that bad in this episode altho i think that Tara Strong modeled her voice after the voice of Pinkie Pie just because there are scenes where she sounds so much like Pinkie Pie. I can't really judge the acting until i've seen a handful of episodes but based of this episode and who's acting in it i'm going to say the acting will be the best thing in the show.
I'll admit that the jump from CGI to what i think is Flash animation is quite jarring at first but for me personally it took me maybe three maybe even four minuets to move past that but i have to say the animation in this episode only was just ok it's not anything to write home about but at the same time it's not as bad as say Teen Titans Go!. You can tell the animators and the show makers are trying to put out the best show they can.
However one of the things that i didn't like about this episode was the fact i laughed maybe two or three times which for this character isn't that good if anything the jokes they were trying to do felt like jokes that a five year old would find funny like for example a character falls over twice in slow motion and that's the joke to me that's not funny that's just showing that you can use slow motion and that's it.
The other thing that i hated about this episode was the fact that it goes against the continuity of The Lego Movie there's no mention of Unikitty being a master builder nore do they even reference that fact. In The Lego movie she doesn't mention having a brother or friends and yet here they both are in this episode.
Overall this episode was just ok and if i were to just base my opinions just of this episode and this episode alone i'd say that this show needs alot of work but you all know me i'm willing to give anything a chance and with that in mind i;m giving this episode a 5 out of 10.
