Unikitty! Review


Hello cartoon fans here is a review that until a few moments ago I wasn't to sure on doing so if you saw a poll on an app called Cartoon Amino asking if I should do it was taken down because I decided to do the review now instead of waiting until episode 20 so here we go.


This series is episodic so there's no story to speak of but the show does follow Princess Unikitty and friends as the help run a kingdom. I have to say that i like the fact it's episodic since it does allow for more creative stories to be told but at the same time i do also wish there was a story just because it would help the show stand out more.


Replacing Alison Brie who played Unikitty in The Lego Movie is the legend that is Tara Strong and I have to say that while she is good in the show her voice does sound alot like Twilight Sparkle's but joining her as new characters are Grey Griffin , Kate Micucci , Roger Craig Smith and Eric Bauza and they all do a really solid job especially Roger who plays not one but two characters on the show and yet they sound completely different from one another.

Now as i'm writing this review i've just watched episode 12 and i have to say that i like the art style that the show has the characters look like the animals that they are named after Dr. Fox looks like an actual fox and Hawkodile looks like both a Hawk and a Crocodile.

     

The animation for the show in my eyes is better then the animation for TTG and that is a huge mega ultra plus all of the characters have nice fluid movements and as nice little touch sometimes there body parts separate because they are after all Lego but at the same time the animation isn't so fluid so they have cartoonish movements as well.

The one major issue i have with this show is the fact it's not really made clear if this is a prequel to The Lego Movie or not since alot of this shows audience will be watching it because of The Lego Movie i feel that it should have been made clear by now if this show is set before the movie or if it's set sometime after the events of the movie.


The humor for the show can at times be pretty hit and miss but for me the funniest episode is one called Hide "N" Seek just seeing how far Unikitty is willing to go to find everyone is hilarious and i;m sure that they even throw in a reference to The Force Awakens but like I said the humor is very hit and miss for every joke that does work there's going to be one that doesn't but this show isn't meant for me so maybe little kids will find this show to be funny hell.


Overall this is a really decent show it's not gonna change the game but it will keep you entertained for fifteen minuets and sometimes that's all you need so for me the show gets a 6 out of 10.
