For those of you that don't know i've been busy reviewing every single live action film that's come from The Munsters franchise. Well with this very review I now conclude my journey into The Munsters since this film was also the franchises only animated TV film and so then join me as I review the film that attempted to bring The Munsters into the realm of animation with the film in question being called simply just "The Mini-Munsters" enjoy.
The plot of this film is Eddie and his cousins Igor and Lucretia discover that Eddie's new car can run on music and so an evil gangster attempts to stop them by any means necessary. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty passable at best which very sadly for a Munsters film seems to be the norm in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Richard Long as Herman Munster , Cynthia Adler as Lily Munster and Al Lewis as Grandpa Dracula. Also starring in this film is Bobby Diamond as Eddie Munster and Henry Gibson as Mr. Grundy there are more voice actors in this film but for the life of me I cannot who they played however I will say that the guy playing Herman does a very good Fred Gwynne impression in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With alot of this films main cast giving an OK performance heck the only truly bad performer in this film is Cynthia Adler who not only sounds nothing like Yvonne De Carlo but she also turns in a rather wooden performance as Lily Munster as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then I really cannot find out who did the animation for this special which given what I thought about the animation in this film is good thing. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad like how anybody thought that this films animation was OK is well and truly beyond me since it's some of the worst animation that i've seen this year in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then incase some of you don't know this film is a adaptation of the 1960's live action sitcom The Munsters. While the sitcom was very fondly remembered by alot of it's fans this animated version only got aired twice which is shocking because this animated film was fully intended to be the pilot episode for a potential animated version of The Munsters and well thank god it didn't get picked up because this film is just dreadful in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
There's one key main character whom you'll notice is missing from this special and that's the character of Marilyn Munster. Whom for some strange reason wasn't included in this special which is weird because even the bad live action Munsters films always found a way to include her character and they always found something for her character to do in the films in question and so to not have her appear in this film heck this film doesn't even mention her at all it just feels weird and very freaking odd in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
This film does get alot of the family members right altho it does age Eddie up to be about fifteen going on sixteen years old which just rubbed me the wrong way. Since when I picture Eddie I picture the sweet and innocent little kid from the TV show and to top things of this film really doesn't give Eddie much of a personality which is a shame because the TV show also didn't give Eddie much of a personality either and so then this film could have fixed that issue but openly chose not to in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
This film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty four minuets and nineteen seconds. Which is a bit on the short side for a story like this since it means that all of this films key plot points happen in a rather inorganic way instead of having these plot points build up in a way that feels naturel it's all just done in a rather fast paced way because of the fact that the film has to hit the next plot point which does ultimately hurt this freaking film quite alot in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then this film is meant to be a comedy film and so then that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. Which for this film is freaking OSCAR worthy thing to say but with all of that being said tho alot of this films jokes jus fall flat but when this film does indeed tell a good joke you really freaking do notice it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this was a really bad film and I can quite easily see why this animated series didn't get picked up for a full series since it has most of the iconography there but it doesn't understand what made those things work in the first place and is just a bad film in general in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film erns itself a grand old score of a 3 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Munsters fandom wiki page , Wikipedia and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.
