When a movie is popular it's not uncommon for it to spawn both sequels and some form of spin off be it a TV series or a popular characters getting their own movie. This movie spin off however is quite unique in that it has three of the original stars of the movie all reprising their roles for this series and so then join me as I review the episode that introduces a new Delorean time machine with the episode in question being called simply just "Brothers" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is Verne is sick of being treated like a baby by his brother Jules and so steals the family time machine only to end up in the American Civil War and so it's up to Doc , Jules , Marty and the family dog Einstein to rescue Verne before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well in then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but the issue is that it's also not that good either with this episodes plot really being fairly predictable in my freaking opinions anyways /at least.
Starring in this episode is Voice acting legend Dan Castellaneta as The Voice Of Doc Brown and Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown. Also starring in this episode is Joshua Keaton as Jules Brown , Troy Davidson as Verne Brown , Danny Mann as Einstein , David Kaufman as Marty Mcfly , Thomas F. Wilson as Confederate General Beauregard Tannen and making his TV debut we also have the great Bill Nye as The Science Guy.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode 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 episode was in all honesty not that bad. With thew actors that you expect a good performance from well and truly delivering but at the same time this episodes script really doesn't give the actors alot to work with interms of what their respective characters personalities is.
Dong the animation for this episode is BIG Pictures , Colossal Pictures and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Far Eastern Animation. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode 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 episode was in all honesty not that bad altho it was hard to tell who some of the film characters were meant to be since a very few of them look like how they looked like in the films.
This series is rather unique in that it has two actors playing the exact same character with Dan Castellaneta voicing Doc Brown in the animated segments and the character being played by Christopher Lloyd in the live action segments. What makes this stand out even more is the fact that Christopher Lloyd played Doc Brown in the three Back To The Future movies and yet because Dan is such a good voice actor you can't actually tell the difference because the voice is so similar to how Doc Brown sounds in the movies.
One of the things that I really didn't like about this episode is the fact that they made Doc so much like a cartoon character that he almost becomes annoying. This is done just by having Doc act like he's a cartoon character alot of the time which just doesn't work for this character since this character isn't a cartoon character he's a little eccentric but that's it he's not the type of character that will do the whole walking on air and then fall when he looks down routine that type of joke just doesn't work for this character because this character is smarter then that.
This episode does also break the rule behind time travel in the Back To The Future movies in that you can travel backwards and forwards in time but not in space in other wards where ever you started to time travel from that's where you'll end up when you come out the other side. With that being said this episode does give an in universe reason behind this change in that Doc rebuilt the Delorean and added modifications to it with one of those being the time circuits are now voice activated and have the ability to change location which does explain it away but at the same time it makes you wonder why Doc didn't make those exact same changes in Back To The Future Part 2 which would have saved both him and Marty alot of trouble.
Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and thirty five seconds. Which oddly isn't long enough for a story like this one to last since this episodes story very easily could have bee the plot of a fourth movie but at the same time I can't picture this episode lasting any longer then what does as with this current running time every single scene is about moving the plot of episode forward and as such this episode really does have some great pacing to it with no scene really lasting longer or shorter then what it really needs to.
So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode 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 episode was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time alot of this episodes jokes just weren't as funny nor as clever as the ones seen the movies. Which is a shame because when this episode tells a really good joke you really do know about it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this wasn't a bad episode to start this show on since it does explain alot of thing that fans like myself would point out and notice but at the same time you can quite clearly notice the dip in quality between this show and the movies in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about ll of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 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 Back To The Future fandom wiki page 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 high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.
