Beetlejuice "Stage Fright" And "Spooky Tree" Review

While Beetlejuice is undoubtedly back in the public eye and bigger then what it ever was before thanks to the release and success of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. It has been a good while since anything from the animated series has been talked about and well I thought that now was a solid enough time to talk more about this show as it's one that doesn't really get alot of attention and so then join me as I review the episodes that let the juice loose with the episodes in question being called simply just ""Stage Fright" and "Spooky Tree enjoy.

The plot of "Stage Fright" us when her school puts on a production of Romeo & Juliet and her audition is ruined Lydia sets out to get revenge on the culprit during opening night and in "Spooky Tree" when her favorite tree is due to be demolished Lydia starts a protest while Beetlejuice gets something from his home world that lets the tree walk away. Now then interms of what I( personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good with the best plot going to "Stage Fright" just because it was a really inventive plot that made the most of it' set up whilst "Spooky Tree" whilst it wasn't a bad plot in it's own right it's one that just felt generic like it could have been pulled from any spooky kids animated TV show and it would have worked out just the same with plots being some really fun filled plots that do a good job of telling there respective stories and being fun and a little bit spooky but in a kid friendly kind of way with both of these episodes in all honesty being a really good way to get into horror as both plots are scary but not so scary that it'll cause them to have nightmares with both of these plots also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these episodes is Stephen Ouimette as Beetlejuice , Alyson Court as Lydia Deetz and voice acting legend and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic star Tara Strong as Bertha and Claire Brewster. Also starring in these episodes is My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic star Tabitha St. Germain as Prudence , Roger Dunn as Charles Deetz , Len Carlson as The Foreman and Messy Jesse and Elizabeth Hanna as Delia Deetz and Miss Shannon.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. Which is not something that's all that new given that "Stage Fright" does have two really good voice actors in it's already staked cast both of whom are really good in these episodes as well with the same thing also being true for all of the actors that are in both of these episodes as they all turn in some really solid performances and while the actors that are playing the characters from the films will of course never be able to top what the actors in the films did with those characters they did a good job of holding the candle for them between the two movies that they could be considered THE voices for those characters as that's just how good that they are not only in these two episodes but in the show as a whole as well and while they won't be who people think when they think of those characters chances are that they will be the voices that people hear when there seeing lines from those characters with the acting that's in these very episodes also being helped by the fact that the scripts for these episodes is just so good that all these actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out of them naturally which is something that really does raise the overall quality of the acting that's in these very episodes.

Doing the animation for these episodes is Wang Film Productions Company and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Nelvana. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad for a nineties kids TV show as both of the episodes do have some really trippy looking animation to them in certain which does help with the light horror aspect of the show and yet when the episodes need to get comedic then that do have some really zany and fast paced animation which is something that comes into play whenever Beetlejuice is up to something and it is something that does help make the jokes all that more funnier as it allows for some really creative character designs that feel true to the spirit of Tim Burton and while the animation in not only both of these episodes might look dated in certain areas like the lack of a detailed background as seen in alot of the scenes in both of these episodes considering that this a show that's based off of a movie and those kinds of shows don't typically have good animation to them the fact that we managed to get very quality animation not only in these two episodes but in the show as a whole is well and truly a good thing to behold.

All throughout the first movie we are told never to say Beetlejuice's name three times in a row otherwise he can then cause havoc in our world and yet in the show up until this point nobody had really said his name three times in a row. Which is something that changed in "Stage Fright" and it was something that made sense as the character that said it Clair is bit of an airhead as she even miss pronounced Juliet's name several times in the episode with her also being the school bully and as such when she does say his name three times in a row us the audience just want to see Beetlejuice just let loose on her and that's exactly what he does and it's glorious to see as it's something that felt earned and the fact that the show held off on this aspect of the character for a good while does say that the makers of this show were either waiting for the right story to come along before doing it or they were waiting for a truly hateful character to come along as then they could still have Beetlejuice come across as being the good guy when in the movie he was firmly the bad guy and heck they even got right the fact that if Lydia says his name three times when he's in our world then he does get sent back to his world and can't really enter our world until someone says his name three times in a row again which is something that could have over looked as it's such a small detail but the fact that they included that aspect of the films lore as well does say that the makers of this show were huge fans of the film which does make sense given that the films director Tim Burton and it's original producer David Geffen also served as executive producers on this show as well.

While "Stage Fright" is easily the better of the two episodes "Spooky Tree" is also a really solid in it's own right as well. As that episode does try to make Lydia more of a normal girl by having her care about something in the real world and when that thing is threatened she does try to defend it and get's visibly upset when she notices that her efforts are failing but at the same time tho that doesn't make for an interesting episode as the character up until that point had been presented as being anything but a normal girl with her frequently taking visits to Beetlejuice's home world and taking part in other spooky activities and so to have suddenly be presented as being this normal kid does feel out of place for her character and heck even in the first movie she presented to as being new kid in town who is a bit of an odd ball and while this episode does indeed lean into that aspect of her character the fact that she is an odd ball isn't played up as much while both "Spooky Tree" and Stage Fright" could have been perfect ways to show of just much of an odd ball that she is as while yes granted she does bring in her own spider's for a show and tell type event in "Stage Fright" that's really all she does and in "Spooky Tree" she doesn't really do anything that odd at all as starting a protest to help to save something that you love isn't an odd thing to do and if both of these episodes did make Lydia more of an odd ball then it would have made both episodes more interesting to watch and it would have made the fall of both bad guys in both stories all the more worth while and really fun to watch as well.

One of the things that "Spooky Tree" does that was actually kind of interesting was show us just how far Beetlejuice is willing to go to make Lydia happy. As in this show they are meant to be best friends and yet in alot of the episodes up until this episode it's always been Beetlejuice causing trouble and Lydia and has to find a way to bail him out of it and yet here we see that he really does care for Lydia with him even using something from Neitherworld to try and help her out and while yes it does end up causing trouble for Lydia as the tree grows legs and goes on a rampage around town not wanting to be replanted it is also something that does show us that he really care for for her as even in "Stage Fright" it could very well be argued that he only did what he did because of the fact that his name was said three times in a row and not because Lydia was angry or sad about it where as here it quite clearly because she was upset the possibility of loosing her favorite tree and Beetlejuice was trying to help her out in his own way and while the movie version of the character would only look out for himself unless it meant that Lydia would indeed marry him here it's because the two of them really are the best of the friends and that fact that this episode did explore that aspect of the duo was what made what was an otherwise generic episode at least seem to be somewhat interesting as it was something that show really hadn't explored up until now.

Now then the first segment has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twelve minuets and five seconds and the second segment has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twelve minuets and four seconds. With "Stage Fright" having the better of the two running times as even tho it's only a second longer then "Spooky Tree" it does have more then enough there interms of pot to really cover that amount of running time where as "Spooky Tree" really doesn't have alot there interms of plot to really cover it's amount of running time with that segment having just enough plot for about six minuets at best which means that the episode has just over six minuets worth of filler as not alot that's in that segment has much of an impact on the actual plot of the segment where as it's the opposite that's true for "Stage Fright" as that episode really does make some good use of it's running time by actually giving us characters that we either love or hate and even the one off characters like the schools drama teacher do all have there moments to shine as well but tho "Spooky Tree" did take the time to fully develop as much of it's premise that it really could have done it just needed a much more stronger premise and that's really it while the first segment didn't have any filler scenes in it whatsoever and as a result of that of that is the fact that all of the scenes in that segment was all about advancing the plot of the segment where as the second segment didn't get much of that at all but I really will admit that both segments really do have some really good pacing to them both tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. With both of these episodes having some really painfully funny moments in them with alot of the best jokes from both of the episodes being jokes that you don't really see coming as while the joke about Clair always mispronouncing Juliet's name is a good joke the best joke in that episode is actually the fact that Clair does say Beetlejuice's name three times in a row as we the audience the know that he's about to cause some chaos and surely enough he wastes no time in causing chaos for that school play and in "Spooky Tree" it's just the fact that this one tree doesn't want to replanted again even after he's seen Lydia which was the one thing that e really wanted to do just because of the fact that that idea is such a weird idea that you can't help but smile at it ad just go along with for the ride but with that being said tho both of the segments don't have alot of funny jokes in them which it makes all the more rarer when you do see or hear one that is painfully funny which even then it's only funny because the rest of the segments jokes just aren't that funny to begin with in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  

Overall these were a pair of really solid episodes but "Spooky Tree" could have been alot more better given it's fun premise and "Stage Fright" despite it clearly being the better of the episodes wasn't as fun as it really could have been but at the same time tho both of these episodes were also alot more better then what they really could have been as on paper both episodes could have been really bad in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these very episodes in this very review and as such that really does mean that "Stage Fright" really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me and "Spooky Tree" really does itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 out of 10 from me and both of the episodes as a whole really do earn themselves a combined score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got al pf 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 Beetlejuice fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very post being the really great the official Beetlejuice fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from these very episodes with alot of them being better quality then what'd think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Beetlejuice fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

My SPOILER FILLED First Impressions of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

Spider-Man as a character is one that's been a touchstone of Marvel since the sixties with the character appearing in dozens of TV shows and movies. Well now then it seems that we can add another show to that list as the first two episodes of his newest animated TV show have just dropped on Disney+ and well then you all just knew that I had to check them out and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED first impressions of the show that ruins a classic theme song with the show in question being called simply just "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" enjoy.

The plot of these first two episodes is in the first first episode Peter has to come to terms with the girl that he likes having a boyfriend whilst also trying to deal with his new life as Spider-Man whilst in episode two Peter has to deal with being a new intern at Oscorp. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I inn all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad as they both do manage to capture the every day aspect of the Peter Parker down perfectly but at the same time tho there's really nothing to these episodes interms of actual plot with the plot of both of these episodes being thin at best and whole this something that could change over the course of this first season it's also something that doesn't set the show of on the best of grounds either as it makes it look like that the plot is coming in second to the shows visuals when it really should be the other way around but what little plot that there is is solid enough to make this show worth watching to see how they take the mythos of this truly legendary character with the plot of these first twp episodes also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these first two episodes is Hudson Thames as Peter Parker / Spider-Man and voice acting legend Kari Wahlgren as May Parker and Eberhardt. Also starring in these first two episodes is Grace Song as Nico Minoru , Eugene Byrd as Lonnie Lincoln , Zeno Robinson as Harry Osborn and Campbell , Colman Domingo as Norman Osborn , Kellen Goff as Symbiotic Alien , Robin Atkin Downes as Stephen Strange / Doctor Strange , Cathy Ang as Pearl Pangan , Erica Luttrell as Emma , Mrs. Lincoln and Asha , voice acting legend Phil LaMarr as Mr. Taylor and Mr. Lincoln , Ogie Banks as Pizza Shop Owner , Roger Craig Smith as Coach Grayfield and J. Gallo , Anjali Kunapaneni as Jeanne Foucault , Aleks Le as Amadeus Cho , Paul F. Tompkins as Doctor Bentley Wittman , Zehra Fazal as Doctor Carla Connors and Jake Green as Butane.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes 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 first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad. Which was alot better then what it really could have been as alot of this shows actors aren't voice actors there live action actors and there is a huge difference between acting on camera and acting into a microphone but this shows actors do manage to turn in some really good performances in these first episodes and while of curse there acting will indeed get better and better as the show goes on just based off of these first two episodes alone the acting does seem to be off to a really good start as it's clear as day that all of this shows actors are cast pitch perfectly for there respective characters with them all being really well cast which is something that Marvel Studios is really good at doing and that is something that thankfully does indeed continue with the casting of these actors in this very show with the acting that's in these first episodes also really being helped by the fact that the scripts for these first two episodes is also really good and so all this shows actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performances really will come out of them naturally which s something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in these first episodes.

Doing the animation for these episodes is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Polygon Pictures and CGCG, Inc.. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I inn all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good with the show using an art style that makes the show look like comic book panels which is something that does really work for this show as it makes it look like the comic book panels have come to life but at the same time tho it does also limit the amount of detail that can be added to the characters and that is something that could potentially hold the show back especially when it comes to characters like Doc Ock for example but for these two episodes the animation really did look really good and was to be frank one of the best aspects about both of these first two episodes as it was something that not only catches you of guard with how good that it looks but the more simplistic designs also go along way in capturing that old school Marvel Comic look with even Peter himself kind of looking like a more up to date of his original design from the sixties and while the characters aren't really given alot of fluid movements in these two episodes the show does give them what could best be described as being more realistic movements which work fine for these first episodes but it is something that could become annoying to watch in later episodes tho.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!

In a really rather bizarre move this show both does and doesn't take place in the MCU as it's meant to take place mere months before the events of Captain America: Civil War and yet none of the characters apart from Aunt May look like there film counterparts. To make things even more confusing is the fact that in episode one of this show we have the same portal design from the MCU with even a possibly different universe version of Doctor Strange showing up to fight an alien symbiote something which hasn't happened in the mainline MCU as of yet all of these are things that do make it confusing as to if it's canon to the Marvel Cinematic Universe or not as alot of the shows that have been produced for Disney+ including the animated ones have in some ways been canon and yet here it really is hard to tell if that's the case or not and this is something that the makers of this show should come out and clarify as even the show itself started out life as being canon to the MCU with it even being due to star Tom Holland as Spider-Man and yet from these first two episodes alone it is something that really does make it hard to tell if this show is canon to the MCU or not and while this won't put people off watching the show either way it is something that should be clarified just because of the fact that the first episode of this show does have things that were made possible due to the MCU and it will also stop people from being confused as well.

As with alot of Disney+ shows Disney have decided to drop the first two episodes of the show however unlike alot of the other Disney+ shows they'll also be doing the exact same thing for alot of the shows first season. Which just seems pointless as you could have gotten alot more viewing hours if the show was released weekly as that would then equal people talking about the episodes for longer over social media as well and yet by releasing all of the episodes two at a time apart from next week and the week afters where there releasing three episodes of the show which just makes it even more pointless and it makes it look like that Marvel and Disney are ashamed of this show when they really shouldn't be as they do have a really solid show on there hands and this is something that they clearly already knew about as they've renewed the show for a further two seasons PRIOR to the show even debuting so they knew that they had a hit show on there hands and yet they still went with a faster release schedule when releasing one episode a week would not only drive up numbers for Disney+ but would also mean that us the audience can theorize over what's going to happen next week as both episodes end on pretty big cliffhangers with episode two even revealing that Norman Osborn now knows that Peter Parker IS Spider-Man something wouldn't have much of an impact if they released three episodes this week but the fact that they didn't do that now means that us the audience can now theorize about what could happen to Peter now that his secret is out of the bag.

There is one thing that both of these episodes managed to get right about Peter Parker's personality and that's the fact that he's just a normal kid. He's a kid that doesn't know how to get the girl or would even struggle to do his homework let alone hand it in on time he's your next door neighbor's kid because that's how normal and average that he is and that's something that does come across rather beautifully in these two episodes as we not only see him struggling to talk to the girl of his dreams but when he does get the courage to ask her out it turns out that he's two late as she's dating somebody else and we do see him struggle to even get up on time to catch the train to school and it's those things that might seem little in the grand scheme of things but they also help to make Peter Parker feel more real and that is something Stan Lee wanted for the character as it made him more human alot of us struggle to get up in the morning be it for school or work or whatever and alot of us struggle to talk to the one person that we love but haven't had the courage to ask out yet and to see Peter go through those issues in both of these episodes does say that the makers of this show really did understand that core concept of the characters as without that you basically just have another superhero and that's really it and that's something that works for Spider-Man or for Peter Parker as well as it is something that does help to make him more human and because of that he also comes across as being a more relatable character on top of that.

Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty seven minuets and twenty seconds and episode two of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and fifty seconds. With episode two having the much more better running time but at the same time tho it is understandable as to why episode one was as long as it was as while both episodes don't really have alot there interms of plot episode one did have alot of backstory and character setup to do where as episode two didn't have any of that and even tho the show is pretty much skipping over the entire origin story for Peter Parker apart from showing him getting bitten by a spider from another dimension it still would have been if episode one justified it's slightly longer running time by giving us more of Peter's backstory or even giving us some backstory for Norman as he only appears right at the very end of episode one before taking on a similar role in episode two which for a character that's this iconic doesn't really do him justice and as such the makers of this show could have put in some of his backstory into episode just to help to make his character more of a parallel to Peter and heck both of the episodes really could have spent same time in making the shows recurring characters more fully developed as well as we are going to be spending quite alot of time with those characters as well but I really will admit that both of these episodes really do have some really good pacing to them tho. 

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action this actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad. However that is also the problem as alot of the action that's in these first two episodes wasn't all that good either which is something that does make sense as Peter is only just starting out as Spider-Man as such he wouldn't be able to do all of the cool things that Spider-Man can do in a fight just yet because he's not learnt it yet but at the same time tho the action in both of these episodes does come across as being really flat and boring to watch as there just so repetitive to watch with even both of the episodes having three action scenes across both episodes which is fine as you can't expect a thirty minuet show to have lots of action scenes in it but you still at least have to show us something us something that's interesting during any of those action scenes with the only good action scene in both of these episodes being the one with Doctor Strange at the start of episode one as we get to see Strange struggle to defeat an Alien Symbiote as that's something that we really haven't seen yet in the MCU and we also get some plot during that scene as well as that's when we get to see the spider that's presumably from Doctor Strange's world bite Peter with the action in that scene alone being really good and really fun to watch as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!

Overall just based off of these first two episodes alone the show does seem to be worth watching and the fact that's already been picked up for both a season 2 and a season 3 does mean that we might be in for a good show but only time will tell if this show is indeed a show that not only good but also worth watching as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these very episodes in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if this post does decently well and if you guys want me to check out another episode then I will do it and that post would then be a review of that episode and that episode only and not a review of the show as a whole.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally got all pf the images hat I personally used in this very post from the official Disney fandom wiki page , the official Marcel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very post being the really great the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from these very episodes with alot of them being better quality then what'd think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Muppet Classic Theater Film Review

The Muppets have been apart of great many a different pieces of media out there ranging from movies to TV shows and many more. Yet there's always one piece of media that great many people seem to either always forget about or just straight up don't know about and it's that very piece of media that i'm going to be reviewing for you all today and so then join me as I review the film that sees The Muppets retell six classic stories in classic Muppet fashion with the film in question being  called simply just "Muppet Classic Theater" enjoy.

This is the only piece of Muppet media where there isn't a plot to the film to speak with the idea of the film being The Muppets putting on six stories and that's really it. With that idea being strong enough to carry a film like this one as this is a film that doesn't really require a plot to speak but at the same time tho it would have been nice if the film did have a plot as there's really no reason as to why The Muppets are putting on in this show in the first with it just happening for no reason whatever and that is not usually how The Muppets do things as even in the movies and the TV shows they usually explain what the set ups are and why there doing what there doing and as such it comes across as being weird and out of place that they wouldn't do that in this film when it was something that while it wasn't needed it would have helped to make the idea stronger as any reason given would feel in character for The Muppets and heck you could even say that there doing a special episode of The Muppet Show or that these stories are unused ideas from the various Muppet movies just something would have worked but at the same time tho this is film that really doesn't require a plot as the idea of these characters telling six classic stories is more then enough to sell people on this film with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Dave Goelz as Gonzo The Great , Randy Pig and Elvis and Jerry Nelson as Robin The Frog , Big Bad Wolf , Loyal Royal Advisor , The Royal Jester and Montague The Rat

Steve Whitmire as Rizzo The Rat , Kermit The Frog and Beaker , Frank Oz as Miss Piggy , Fozzie Bear , Sam Eagle and Animal , Bill Barretta as Bailiff and Elvis , Julianne Buescher as Yolanda The Rat , Brian Henson as Andy Pig , Elvis , Eugene The Mink and Sheep , Bruce Lanoil as The Royal Jeweller and Allan Trautman as Father Pig , The Royal Doctor , Banker and Villager.

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 really good. With all of the actors playing the Muppet characters turning in some really good performances in this film which is something that does make sense as alot of them have been playing there characters for decades and nearly all of them would go on to play there respective characters for years to come and so it does make sense that they would turn in some really good performances in this film as they really would know how best to perform there respective characters and what kind of performances would best suit there respective characters as well and while the acting in this film won't ever compare to the acting in the main Muppet movies it is still interesting to hear these classic Muppet voices in a little known piece of Muppet media as it really does show you that these actors really are a bunch of good actors in there own right as well with the acting that's in this film really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so good that all this films actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out f them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

As was mentioned at the very start of this review this film has The Muppets tell six different classic stories. With those stories being The Three Little Pigs , King Midas , The Boy Who Cried Wolf , Rumpelstiltskin , The Emperor's New Clothes and The Elves And The Shoemaker with all three stories having some of the classic chaos that you usually think of when you think of The Muppets with all six stories also making some changes to the stories to make them more kid friendly which is something that does make alot of sense as alot of the stories that are featured in this film don't exactly have endings that kids would like and so making those kinds of changes does somewhat make sense but at the same time tho given just how closely The Muppets stuck to A Christmas Carol it really does make you wonder why they didn't stick closely to the original stories in this film as well as kids will understand the moral of each story as they have done for hundreds of years and by making the stories more kid friendly then all your doing is just talking down to your audience and that is something that Jim Henson himself wouldn't never do as he only made things for the whole family to enjoy and this film is one that really could have been made for thee whole family and not just little kids as then you really can have the more mature themes and writings of the original stories but you can also do it in a way that better suits The Muppets brand as well and yet by doing the exact opposite of that all your doing is harming the story that your really trying to replicate and not not doing any kind of justice to the original story itself either.

If you thought that The Muppets At Walt Disney World looked really cheap then you have seen nothing yet. As this film does look cheaper then that special as at least in that special that at least made the effort to hide the rods controlling the characters hands alot of the time where as here you see them alot of the time and while that special had the excuse of the fact that it was being filmed on location actually at Walt Disney World itself and so they of course couldn't get things to look just exactly right for the characters here the whole hing is set on a stage in a theater and yet it still looks cheap just because your doing something that basically direct o video doesn't mean that you have to make it look like a direct video special if anything The Muppets have proven that they can make something that's cheap look expensive just look at The Muppet Show as a key example of that and yet here everything just looked cheap and while that does indeed make some sort of sense given the premise of the film there still should have been some small amount of effort to make this film really look a bit more expensive then what it actually was even if it's just by doing something simple like making sure that we can't see the rods controlling the characters hands as don't forget in this world these characters really are meant to be real people and yet by showing us the rods controlling the hands all it does is remind us that there puppets and that's really it and while it is a small thing it is also something that would make the film look a bit more dearer to make as it would show that some thought and effort actually went into making this film.

For some strange reason this film really likes having Kermit The Frog as the main character in alot of the stories. As the character does appear in quite alot of them and nine times out of ten he's the main character which I guess makes sense from marketing stand point as Kermit was there most popular character in the nineties but the same time tho there are other Muppet characters that could have used some attention as well like the fact that even tho they have Animal appear once in one story they don't have the rest of The Electric Mayhem which does make sense as they really didn't feature them a whole lot after the death of Jim Henson with them mostly appearing in silent cameo roles and that's really it but it still would have been nice to see them pop up as the Elves in the final story since Rizzo thinks the Elves are Elvis anyway it would have made perfect sense for them to show up there even Rowlf The Dog could have played the part of the Big Bad Wolf just because you can use Kermit doesn't mean that you should always use him and heck even for the first story in which Kermit is the main character would have been even funnier if the main character was played by the vain Link Hogthrob as King Midas is meant to be this selfless character it would have been quite funny to see someone vain play him with the only story that's right for Kermit as a character being The Elves And The Shoemaker as that's the kind of story where Kermit always has done and always will do work best.

If your gong into this film expecting to see alot of the classic Muppet characters then be prepared to be disappointed. Due to the fact that not alot of the classic Muppets characters were used all that much in the nineties with this film even featuring two characters who would play a bigger role in Muppets Tonight with Randy and Andy playing the main roles in The Three Little Pigs story and while the classic Muppet character do indeed show up alot of the time the only ones that have any real impact on the film are Gonzo , Rizzo , Kermit , Miss Piggy , Robin The Frog and Fozzie and even then Fozzie only appears in the The Emperor's New Clothes and that's rally it with alot of the characters featured in this film being either new characters all together or very little known characters which both does and doesn't make sense it does make sense in the way that the Jim Henson Company can introduce more new characters and thus keep the brand going a little bit longer but it doesn't make sense because nobody knows who these characters and the characters are just coming of the hugely successful The Muppets Christmas Carol so wouldn't it make more sense to use the characters that played roles in that film which was alot of the classic characters as those are the characters that this new kid audience would be more familiar with instead of introducing new characters that the audience doesn't really know or even care about for that matter.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and eight minuets and forty nine seconds. Which is a perfectly solid running time for this film to have as this film really doesn't have a plot to speak of whatsoever and as such there really no need for this film to be all that long as all it needs to do is just tell six short stories ad that's really it and that's something that this film can and does do beautifully with it's current running time and while it would have been nice if this film was just a little bit longer just so that the film could then get across as to why The Muppets are putting on a stage show and maybe include more of the classic characters as well let's be real here the film target kid audience isn't going to care about any of that as all there going to care about is seeing Kermit and the gang doing what they do best only now it's on a direct to video film budget ad not a big screen film budget and to that extent this film really does gave the perfect running as this current running time will be long enough to keep little kids entertained but isn't so long as they'll get bored however when you attach The Muppets name to something your always going to get some adults watching it as well and as such explaining why The Muppets are doing what there doing and having things for the adults really would have helped this film out in the longer run as well but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually feature / presented to us in this very film 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. As it was the kind of the comedy that does work well with The Muppets but at the same time tho alot of this films comedy just felt like it was to dumbed down and is clearly an example of The Muppets not at there best as while yes there are one or two decent jokes in this film like the fact that Rizzo keeps mistaking the Elves for Elvis in the final story and then proceeding to dress them up like him when he sees that they act exactly like him is a good idea and good joke but at the same time tho the film is filled to the brim with far to many fourth wall breaks so much so that it becomes more distracting then it is funny as there's only so long that a fourth wall breaking joke can be funny and this film found that limit and then pushed past it quite early on and because of that the fourth wall breaking jokes that should have been funny stopped being funny because we the audience get so used to seeing them in this film but when this film film does tell a really good joke it is a rally funny joke but you just have to sit through alot of bad ones to get to the one or good jokes in this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall it's quite easy to see not alot of people talk about this film is it really is just that bad and while it's not as bad as say The Muppets At Walt Disney World is or even Muppets Tonight for that matter for example this film is one that doesn't feel like The Muppets as while yes it has all of the iconic characters there but it's lacking that special charm that they usually bring to all of the The Muppets media even the bad ones as well for that matter in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 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 The Muppets fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very film that I used in this very post being the really great the official The Muppets fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very film with alot of them being better quality then what'd think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official The Muppets fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Star Trek: Section 31 Film Review

For some reason Paramount right now has trouble getting a new Star Trek movie off of the ground that is unless it's based off of Star Trek TV series that not alot of people actually like in the first place. Which really is very much the case with this film as this film is a spin off film from a TV show that's not that well liked by alot of Star Trek fans and so then join me as I review the film that is basically Oceans Eleven but in space with the film in question being called simply just "Star Trek: Section 31" enjoy.

The plot of this film is really hard to wok out as the film basically has no plot to it whatsoever which is the first of many things wrong with this film. As by not having a plot then you rob your film of reason of existing and while yes there is a hint of plot explained at the start of the film with something needing finding but that's really it and the film never really touched upon that in any meaningful way which makes it feel like an afterthought when it's something that really should have been treated as the main plot of the film. It's this kind of thinking and logic that only hits home that Paramount has no idea what there doing with Star Trek as they've left it in the hands of people that have no clue what there doing instead of giving it to people who are actually fans of the franchise and would there for want to turn in something that's not only watchable but actually good but where as here it comes across as being made by people who just wanted to cash a check as this films plot is a about as far away from Star Trek as you can get and while the idea of doing something that's basically Oceans Eleven but set in the world of Star Trek is a good idea you still need to have an actual plot to make it work and because of the fact that this film is missing a plot then the whole idea just doesn't work as well as it really should have done with the plot of this film not really being really rather entertaining and as well as being not really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is one of this films executive producers Michelle Yeoh as Philippa Georgiou and Omari Hardwick as Alok. Also starring in this film is Kacey Rohl as Rachel Garrett , Sam Richardson as Quasi , Sven Ruygrok as Fuzz , Warcraft ad Captain Marvel star Robert Kazinsky as Zeph , Humberly González as Melle , James Hiroyuki Liao as San and Halloween star Jamie Lee Curtis as The Voice Of Control.

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 / resented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. Which for this film having something that's not that bad in it is a god send as while the actors in this film do there best not even they can save this film and to be clear Michelle Yeoh is pretty much awsome in everything that she's in and can pretty much save anything that she's in because f the fact that she's just that good of an actress and while she does turn in a good performance in this film not even she can make this stinker of a film passable as everything surrounding this film is just that bad with it being clear as day that this films director Olatunde Osunsanmi really has no clue how to get a good performance out of his actors which makes sense given that he's directed several episodes of Star Trek: Discovery with nothing that he's worked on getting any kind of positive reviews whatsoever with the acting that's in this film not really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so bad as it gives none of this films actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

Doing the CGI for this film really is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at Cause And FX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI 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 CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad given that this film is a made for TV film with it being clear as day that Paramount Pictures gave this film a big budget just so that they could afford some decent looking and FX and it really was money well spent as all of this films CGI really does look really good and while granted it won't ever look as good as the more recent theatrically released Star Trek films given the fact that this is basically a made for TV movie this films CGI could have looked alot more worse then what it does with alot of the credit going to Cause And FX as it does come across as them not only knowing what there doing but also knowing the world of Star Trek and knowing the level of effects quality that those films usually attract and while they won't ever be able to replicate or even reach that level of quality on a made for TV show budget that didn't stop them from taking a massive swing and at least trying to reach the high quality bar of the effects from the more recently theatrically released Star Trek films as this films CGI is just that good.

For some strange reason even tho the casts of the last three Star Trek movies have been trying for years to get a fourth film made. Paramount instead chose to make a film spin off of a Star Trek that not alot of Star Trek fans actually like and while basing a film off of what is more then likely the most popular character to come from Star Trek: Discovery what doesn't make sense is to make a movie from that show when you have a perfectly good set of actors who have already starred in three Star Trek movies to begin with all of whom are begging Paramount Pictures to pick a script for the fourth film and get that fourth film made in the first place which they very easily could have done as they have alot of scripts for that fourth movie being worked on and yet they instead chose to make a made for TV movie based off of a show that caused alot of division amongst the Star Trek fanbase which makes no sense it would make sense if Star Trek: Discovery was popular enough to warrant a movie being made about but it was never that popular in the first place with it only just scrapping by and only just getting renewed alot of the time and while it's not needed to watch that show to understand this movie you should at least have a basic knowledge of the Emperor Philippa Georgiou character which even then really isn't all that needed to watch this film and to understand what's exactly going on in this film either.

Much like with Moana 2 this film also started life as a TV show but unlike Moana 2 where it at least had a through line running through the movie. This film doesn't even have that going for it which makes the fact that it was originally planned to be a TV show even more obvious then what it was in Moana 2 as here you can quite literally tell where it was going to go to a commercial break or when an episode would have ended which makes it look like that they had already filmed episodes of the show but then cancelled it and decided to edit together whatever footage that they had shot together into a movie which makes the movie come across as being a mess of a film and it's really something that should have been tackled early on into development as if the makers of this film did that then they would have released that they have a huge problem of a movie on there hands and can at least make changes to fix the problems that people have with this movie but since they actively chose not to do that and just straight up not promote this movie at all it means that not only do they have a really bad movie on there hands but that they also have a movie that won't do any kind of numbers for Paramount+ either as next to nobody even knows about this movie and so that means that the people who might have liked this movie in the first place will more then likely not know about it because of the fact that it was so poorly promoted by Paramount Pictures.

There are a few things that this film doesn't really fail at the first of which is the fact that alot of the new characters do seem like interesting characters and could be good characters should they appear in more Star Trek media. The second of which is the fact that this film could be considered a film that's so bad that it's good as while the film doesn't give any of the new characters a chance to shine or even get across what they bring to the team what it does do is create a film that is so bad that you can't help but watch it and while people's enjoyment of this film will very much depend on how much that they liked Star Trek: Discovery this is a film that will go down by many fans as a film that is at the very least entertainingly bad as all we the audience are there doing is just sitting there wondering just how badly that they can mess this film up even further even on the most basic levels of film making and then when they reach those levels and mess up even more things like the fact that even tho this film really should have been an Oceans Eleven movie but set in space they instead treated as being like Mission Impossible but in space and that is something that just doesn't work but is still fun to see with this film having a good idea but just not going all the way with it something that they very easily could have done if they stuck with there original idea and kept it as a TV show since then they could fully develop all of the new characters and give all of the characters and not just Michelle Yeoh as chance to shine as this is a film that really should have been an ensemble film.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty five minuets and twelve seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for a made for a TV movie but it's also the shortest Star Trek movie to date as alot of them clock in at around the two hour mark with this film not even having enough there interms of plot to cover it's own running time as it's more busy on trying to sell us on the idea of more Section 31 movies and shows then it is on being a good movie with a plot and as this movie has no plot to speak off it really does make the movie feel like chore to sit through as all your left wondering is when the plot of the movie will actually begin and all you left doing is watching the characters just doing random things for no apparent reason and these are issues that could have very easily have been fixed if they bothered to hire a directed who actually directed hit movies instead of movies that all got negative reviews and had a production team that actually cared about the franchise instead of hiring the same production team that ran the franchise into the ground with Star Trek: Discovery but because neither of that happened we are instead stuck with a movie that is longer then what it really needed to be as there's no reason for this movie in it's current shape to be this long in the first place and a production that have made it quite clear as day that they don't care about Star Trek but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action film that really does mean that I gave t actually talk about the actual action 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 action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. As it's always a great time when you get to see Michelle Yeoh kicking butt in a movie and she really does get alot of really good action scenes in this film to showcase what she can still do but that's also the problem as alot of the films action does showcase everything that Michelle Yeoh can do but it's all stuff that we've seen before in other movies and TV shows and a  result of that is the fact that it feels more like a show real for Michelle Yeoh then it does an actual action movie as none of this films new characters get a chance to showcase what they can do and because of that as impressive as this films action can be at times it all just feels very formulaic and like there just going through the motions when what they should have done is give the new characters some action scenes as that would then make the films action feel more different and would offer a verity of action scenes instead of just having one person take the lead in all of the films which is great for the trailers but it does also mean that this films action can get repetitive at times you know what's going to happen next before it even happens something that wouldn't be true if some of the films new characters took the lead in the action and that would would then give us the audience a chance to see just what it is they bring to the team as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall out of all the more recent Star Trek movies ever made this is easily the worst one as there really was no effort put into making this film at least really somewhat watchable and while this film might be a film that's so bad that it's good it's really also a film that really does fail to do even the most basic of film making things as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then 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 really does mean that this film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 2 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images hat 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 Star Trek fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very film that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very film with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: The Celestial Toymaker Review

To say that the Doctor Who animation line has been a huge success would be a huge understatement as it's been going on for well over ten years now. With the latest missing episode to be fully animated having just been released on DVD and Blu-Ray and well since there is a little tradition on this blog with me reviewing them as soon as I can do you all just knew that I had to check this episode the very first chance that I got and so then join me as i review that sees The Doctor play games with the episode in question being called simply just "The Celestial Toymaker" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when The Doctor , Steven and Dodo find themselves at the mercy of a bring known only as The Toymaker then the trio must complete various games in order to escape him once and for all. 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 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 rather on the weak side of things as it was hard to tell what the actual plot of the episode was even meant to be at times as it just felt like that the writer was just making stuff up as he went along but with that being said tho this episodes plot did show moments of greatness like the fact that The Toymaker can seemingly travel to anywhere he wants at will which would have made for a really sequence in the plot of the episode but for some reason the episode is instead more focused on Steven and Dodo and them trying to get the Tardis back then it is in actually telling a really well done plot and while the stuff with Steven and Dodo is good to see in small doses here it takes away screen time from The Doctor who feels like an afterthought and while yes there are logistical reasons for this it also has the add on effect of making this episodes plot just seem random and weird for the sake of being random and weird with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is William Hartnell as The Doctor , Peter Purves as Steven Taylor and Jackie Lane as Dodo Chaplet. Also starring in this episode is Peter Stephens as Cyril , Knave Of Hearts and The Kitchen Boy , Campbell Singer as Joey , King Of Hearts and Sergeant Rugg , Carmen Silvera as Clara , Queen Of Hearts and Mrs. Wiggs , Reg Lever as Joker and Batman star Michael Gough as The Toymaker.

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 personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which considering who is playing The Doctor and who is playing the The Toymaker isn't something that's all that surprising even more so when you take into account that the actors playing the shows main leads at this point had been in the show for quite a while at this point with even William Hartnell having been in the role of The Doctor since episode one of the show and so it is understandable that they would turn in good performances in this episode as they really would have known how best to perform there respective characters and how there respective characters would act in any given situation but what lets the acting down quite a bit is that the acting that fro those that are playing the characters that are servants of The Toymaker as there acting does come across as being quite wooden and robotic at times which fair enough might be the point but it is still something that does effect this episodes acting quality with the acting that's in this episode also not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so bad as it gives none of this episodes actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does help to lower the overall quality if the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Shapeshifter Studios. 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 but at the same time tho it also wasn't all that good either as while the 3D CGI does allow for the lip movements to be better matched then what they previously could have been it also gives us alot of freaky imagery and overall just looks cheap and while having freaky looking imagery is kind of the point given that this episode takes place in a world where next to nothing makes sense it does also make the product look off putting as well and while doing this episode in particular in this style does indeed make sense as this story does allow itself to have some creatively creepy looking visuals it's not a style that would work for all classic Doctor Who stories which means that if the BBC are to go this route for more animated episodes then they are going to have make sure that the story that they are animating requires visuals that look this creepy as otherwise all your going to do is just put people off of buying these DVD's and Blu-Ray as after all who is going to want to buy a DVD or a Blu-Ray that has alot of really creepy looking animation and characters designs in it.

As of this writing there is only one episode of this story still with us and that is episode four "The Final Test" which is in all honesty the best of the bunch. As that's the episode that has the most tension and actually features more of William Hartnell in it but at the same time tho it would be nice if the rest of this episode was to be found just so that we the audience can actually see this episode the way that was intended to be seen and not have to rely on somebody else doing the animation for it but given that the remaining three episodes are lost at best ad at worst destroyed it means that for now this animation is the closet that we'll get to ever seeing this story in it's completed form but with that said given just how average the rest of this episode is maybe it's best that the rest of this serial is lost as that means that people that are watching this show just to complete it can watch one solid episode instead of watching three average episodes and one solid episode as all that does is bring the overall viewing experience down quite alot as while there are some entertaining aspects in these first three episodes there all lacking that certain something that makes them feel like a Doctor Who episode where as the fourth episode whilst it is still lacking that extra special it at least has a tense final act where you don't really know what's going to happen next and it's that aspect of the episode that does make it better then the other episodes of this story.

What was really strange about this story is the fact that The Doctor barely features in it and while yes they do have a logistical reason for that in that William Hartnell booked a two week holiday it still creates this rather odd situation where we the audience are left watching The Doctor's hand in alot of his scenes and because of the fact that The Toymaker has also taken away his ability to talk as well as make him invisible we don't hear him either. As a result of that is the fact that The Doctor isn't as proactive in the plot as this version of the character was alot of the time as here he's just sitting back and watching his friends go from one dangerous game to the next instead of trying to find out ways no matter how small that they are to help them and it's not like in alot of other stories from around this same time period where if the actor playing The Doctor took a holiday that you really don't miss the character in the any of the story that they were filming at the time here because of the fact that they continuously cut back to The Doctor and The Toymaker playing there game us the audience really do miss The Doctor as a character and while William Hartnell's health was in a sharp decline at the time of filming the makers of this show really should have come up with a way to keep his version of The Doctor present and proactive and not have him literally disappear for two our of the the four episodes and while they did have a plan to have the character come back but played by a different actor and idea that was very quickly shot down it does show that they also really were onto something as they'd basically do the exact same thing when William Hartnell regenerated into Patrick Troughton as the end of The Tenth Planet a year later.

One of the more brighter aspects of this episodes is that of The Toymaker himself who is just such a gleefully menacing villain. With the character having the power to do whatever he chooses to whomever he chooses which means that when are characters are playing a game for there life then should they loose then they could become one of his servants and be remain trapped with him forever and it also means that all of our characters have remain on there toes as you never really know what The Toymaker is going to do next and what he's going through at you next something that the episode The Giggle actually got right as The Toymaker is the most unpredictable person in the room and yet the smartest person in the room in fact at one point script editor Donald Tosh actually said that The Toymaker was going to be revealed as a member of The Doctor's own race of people which is something that does make sense as even in this episode both The Toymaker and The Doctor say that they've met each other before this episode and so it would make sense for him to be a member of the Time Lords and heck you could even consider him the prototype for The Master as the two of them do share many similar characteristics as well and while The Master might be the better written villain it is still interesting to see the same kind of character actually debuted in the show about five years or so before he made his debut during the Jon Pertwee of Doctor Who.

Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes grand total running time even was I do know that for a fact that this episode really does have an exact grand total running of roughly one hour and forty minuets. Which each episode being around about twenty five minuets in length with the story as a whole being four episodes in length which does work well enough in this episode as this episode really does have the absolutely right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time with it also being the right amount of episodes as well as there's no way in heck that you could stretch this story out even by one extra episode as the plot of the episode could end up being stretched thin and each episode in this story would start to become a bit repetitive at that point in time as well but at the same time tho with the extra running time it would mean that we'd get William Hartnell back in the plot of the episode much more sooner then what we already do in this episode and as a result of that is the fact that it would mean that The Doctor himself would be able to come alot more proactive in the episodes plot instead of just standing there playing a game with The Toymaker but tho that would mean that alot of the episodes would feel like filler and would ultimately end up hurting the story as a whole rather then helping it but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually feature / presented to us inn this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. As even tho alot of this episodes action does come in the form of whatever game that the characters of Steven and Dodo are playing at the time it is fun trying to see them work out not only The Toymakers riddles but also how to survive this game just so that they can become one step closer to getting the TARDIS back with the best game in the whole episode being the hopscotch game as that game at least in this episode gets very intense as your just waiting for the games villain Cyril to play some sort of dirty trick on Steven and Dodo and just seeing it build and build to the point where you can't wait to see there next scene was something that was really done but what let the action down in this episode is the fact that it's not really made all that clear just how The Toymaker lost his game with The Doctor as it is something that does get a bit confusing and it makes there battle of the minds seem more like an after thought which is something that does make alot of sense as The Doctor himself was oddly enough treated like an after thought in this very episode as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall while it is great to finally see this story in it's entirety this story is just nothing more then an average story that could have been done alot better this is despite the fact that even for classic Doctor Who this episode also had a really small budget amongst other things as well all of which combine to make a story that is just nothing more then an average episode of Doctor Who in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all 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 really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where In 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 Doctor Who fandom wiki page , Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
