Disney fans this is a review that has been weeks in the making as per my own rule I waited until episode six of the series aired and it just has so here we go with my review of Disney's newest animated series Big City Greens so let's get it started.
The premise of the series is Cricket and his family get into various adventures in the city (called Big City) and along the way they learn life lessons. As you can guess from the plot summery this show is episodic so basically you can watch any episode and you'll know the show's basic set up and what to expect from any given episode my only issue is the pacing can at times be rather slow.
The show stars co-creator Chris Houghton as Cricket , Marieve Herington as Tilly Green , Bob Joles as Bill Green and Artemis Pebdani and Gramma. I will say that most of the voice actors do a really good job playing there characters but Chris really should stick to being a storyboard artist / writer because his acting skills need alot of improvement.
The rest of the cast do a really good job playing there characters and I think that's because the characters are fun to see on screen so the only thing the actors had to do was give a good performance.
This show is kinda a reunion for the crew of Harvey Beaks because not only did the Houghton brothers work on the show but so did director Monica Ray so if you love that show then I highly recommend this show since it's alot of the same people bringing alot of the talent that helped make that show a success.
Helping the brothers with the show is Rob Renzetti who is perhaps known for being a producer on Gravity Falls but after reading what other shows he's worked on I can conclude that he's kind of a big deal in terms of TV animation he's worked on shows such as Dexter's Laboratory , the original Powerpuff Girls , Family Guy , Samurai Jack , House Of Mouse and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic among many , many , many others if you have a favorite show then chances are he's worked on it.
The animation for the show was done by Disney Television Animation and while the animation in this show is indeed really good it's not as good as say Ducktales 2017 or Star Vs The Forces Of Evil I personally get the feeling that that part of Disney is starting to be stretched to thin they have alot of animated shows coming out and all of them have animation done by Disney Television Animation and like I said the animation in this show isn't bad but it's clearly not the team at their best.
I'm not sure if anyone else thinks this but for me the best character is Tilly alot of the things she says get a good laugh out of me and more often then not whatever plot she's involved with is more interesting then the other plot lines going on during that episode and that also links back into what i was saying about the pacing because sometimes each segment doesn't really have an interesting plot and that's not helped by the pacing.
Overall while this is indeed a very good show that is worth watching it's also a show that has a lot of problems but the problems can be overlooked and so this show scores a 6 out of 10.
