The Top 5 Scooby-Doo! Films That I've Seen

Scooby fans i'm going to do something that no one has ever done in the history of ever and that's ........................................make a list about Scooby-Doo! movies but what will hopefully make mine stand out a little bit more is i'm only counting the movies that i've seen so if your favorite isn't on the list then it's either lower down or I havn't seen it.

5) Scooby-Doo (2002)

I know alot of people don't like this film and that's fair enough I myself have some issues with this film but I also have fond memories with it as well and it's a film that I grew up with and that's why it's on this list that and it gave us a look at future Shaggy Matthew Lillard.

4) Scooby-Doo! & Batman: The Brave and the Bold

I'll admit that when I first saw the trailer I thought that this film would be pretty bad and to a degree it is but it's not as bad as I thought it would be while there are some unfunny jokes in this movie there's some decent jokes as well as some nice animation.

3) Lego Scooby-Doo! Blowout Beach Bash

This was the first Lego Scooby-Doo! movie i've seen and for some reason I thought it was going to be like The Lego Movie but instead I got a fun and fresh take on the gang and the computer animation honestly wasn't that bad altho there was some cringy moments in this movie. 

Altered Carbon Review

Netflix you glorious people I believe you've done it again you have given us another series that is worth talking about so that's what i'm going to go here is my review of the new netflix series Altered Carbon.

The plot of the show us in the future, people's consciousnesses are contained in what are called "stacks" storage devices attached to the back of a person's neck. Physical bodies are turned into what's called "sleeves" mere disposable vessels. Takeshi Kovacs (Joel Kinnaman) a violent mercenary wakes up 250 years after his sleeve is killed and he's given the choice to either spend the rest of his life in prison for his crimes or help solve the murder of the wealthiest man in the world. I'm not gonna lie I really liked the plot of this show because of the simple fact it forces you to think and believe it or not people do like to be challenged despite what the poor box office for Blade Runner 2049 will have you believe.

The show stars Rick Flagg , Will Yun Lee , Renée Elise Goldsberry , James Purefoy , Kristin Lehman and Martha Higareda. Acting wise the show is freaking perfect because all of the main actors in this show do a really freaking good job I had no idea that Joel could act and in this he blew me away.

To say that this film took visual inspiration from Blade Runner would be an understatement but in all honesty I think it works for the show and for the world it's set in but with that being said with the show looking so much like Blade Runner it might as well have been called Blade Runner: The Series.

This show is very much for a mature audience and it lets you know it every single chance it gets , there's original Robocop levels of violence and so many love making scenes that it would make the makers of Game Of Thrones blush and don't get me started on swearing so bottom line here don't let little kids watch even a single episode of this.

The opening title sequence is visually stunning and in a change from other Netflix shows it doesn't last that long it's only on screen for around twenty seven to twenty eight seconds. The only issue I have with the intro is the fact that the music playing over it is just sounds dull i'm not sure if that was done on purpose or not but you can fall asleep just from listening to the opening music.

I've already mentioned how violent this show is so I won't go into it again here but I will say that the action scenes I thought were really well done for a TV / Web series they honestly look like action scenes that you'd find in a big budget movie that's how good they truly are.

Another thing that was movie quality for me was the CGI it looked damn good and dare I say it better then what is used in must movies these days I don't know who did the CGI effects for this series but I hope that they got paid well.

Overall you guys should go and check this series out like i've mentioned before it's out on Netflix and it's freaking worth it for me the series gets a 9.5 out of 10 and since it's on Netflix it's safe to say we'll be getting a second season.

Wacky Races 2017 Review

Hello there cartoon fans it's been along time since I last brought up the reboot of Wacky Races and well since I havn't given it a full review and alot of time has passed since the first episode I thought why not review it and see if my opinions on the show have changed.

The show doesn't have a plot but it does follow a group of racers as they race but it also follows what they do when they don't race now when i first saw the show I admit I wasn't happy to have an episode where the racers don't race but know I do see what there going for but at the same time I don't think it's needed.

The voice cast include Peter Woodward , Billy West in a dual role as both Muttley and a member of The Gruesome Twosome , Nicole Parker , Diedrich Bader , Tom Kenny and Jill Talley. The voice acting for the must part is decent altho I still don't get why they gave Dastardly a British accent that just seems weird to me but I do have to admit all of the actors do somehow manage to make the roles their own.

I don't know if you can tell by the above images but there's been some slight changes to the way the characters look and while I do get that you do need to update the look of characters from time to time did they have to make the characters look really strange for some some reason Dastardly has a really big nose and it just looks weird and for some unknown reason he now has an all purple outfit when there was nothing wrong with what he used to wear and I know why they gave Penelope a small waist but this is a kids show so why are they trying to get the older generation into watching.

The animation does fair a little better tho but the key word there is a little because for a large portion of the time the animation isn't that good and it comes across as cheap but at the best of times the animation is passable. In all honesty this looks like a show that was made on someone's computer for a couple of pounds / dollars / insert your countries currency here heck Hanna-Barbera had better animation and they made shows on the cheap.

I'll admit right here and now that the humor on the show can at times be very hit and miss when a joke lands it will get a chuckle out of people but when a joke doesn't land it's groan inducing there idea of a joke is throwing random stuff at you and going "see isn't this funny" and I have to say that throwing random stuff on the screen doesn't make a good joke and as someone who loved the original show I liked that they not only referenced the original show but they also used clips from it as well.

Overall I will say that in certain aspects the show has improved but it's still not as good as the original and I won't recommend you see this show if your a fan of the original series but for a new generation this is there interpretation of Wacky Races and it gets a 5 out of 10 from me.

  

Robot Chicken Season 4 Episode 2 " They Took My Thumbs" Review

I'm a huge Robot Chicken fan but something occurred to me while watching Youtube videos i'd never reviewed anything to do with Robot Chicken so if this is something you all want i'll start making weekly reviews for the most part they will be of the latest episode but as you can guess from the title this one is from Season 4 and that's because this is my official "pilot" so here we go.

The types of stories being told in this episode include finding out who builds the temples in Raiders Of The Lost Ark , See Jason get excited for a certain date , A Salesmen is late for a meeting but he has a really good excuse and witness the Justice League on a "Bring Your Sidekick To Work Day". Since Robot Chicken episodes don't have a story unless there a special what i'd do instead is list the kind of jokes that are in the episode but i'll still make a comment on the jokes later on in the review.

Now I won't say that Seth Green is in every episode and will thus only credit the guest stars but for this pilot review this episode does have Seth Green and he's joined by Sebastian Bach, Alex Borstein, Hugh Davidson, Clare Grant, Breckin Meyer, Matthew Senreich and Milo Ventimiglia. The voice acting I thought was really good I became a bit of a Clare Grant thanks to seeing her in The Graves and i still didn't reconise her in this episode and Seth is as great as always my only issue is I could tell straight away that Ales Borstein was playing Wonder Woman but that might because I can pick her voice out anywhere.

I won't really go on about the animation since it's an animated show and if you guys like it this will be a weekly thing but i will say that I liked the animation in this episode I think that stop motion animation really does go well with sketch comedy and they did a good job of mixing it with the CGI stuff they add in in post production.

Honestly the jokes in this episode were really freaking funny if your like me and your a fan of Indiana Jones you'll find your self laughing alot during the opening sketch that's how funny it is and it's what I love about this show it takes something your familiar with and puts a different twist on it and I won't spoil the Justice League just because you really do have to see it.

Overall this was a really funny episode and if you guys like this review that is a phrase you'll see alot of because I really do like this show and there will not be a rating on the episodes and i'm going to let you all know now that in a few weeks there will be a full review of Hot Streets.

  

My Brief Thoughts On Our Cartoon President

Ok then guys as you know by a previous post I did where i mention this show I was really looking forward to seeing the first episode and well the first episode was released online yesterday and i've just finished watching it so here are my brief thoughts on Our Cartoon President.

Ok so the premise of the show is The White House has opened it's doors for an all access look into the president's life. Yeah as you can most likely tell this show will be episodic in nature and i quite like it altho i had to get that summery of Wikipedia since they don't actually explain it in the show it self.

Starring as the president is Jeff Bergman who is joined by William Sadler , Zach Cherry , Gabriel Gundacker and Anna Eilinsfeld and for the pilot episode co-creator Stephen Colbert and I have to say that Jeff Bergman does a spot on impression of the president and he gives a really funny performance as do most of the cast in this first episode.

Now I have to say that this show isn't thirty minuets of bashing Donald Trump since that would get old pretty quick but it instead chooses to make him a lovable idiot and this is coming from someone who doesn't even like him and in a way i'm glad they didn't go the obvious route and just bash him for thirty minuets since that would have been far to easy.

I'm going to be frank right now i can see alot of people hating the animation heck even hating the show and judging by what people have been saying on twitter about the animation i'm right in that regard but I personally don't hate the animation that much yes it does take some getting used to but once I got used to it it was decent it wasn't anything groundbreaking but it wasn't anything awful either.

The jokes as well were a bit hit and miss but I think that's more down to the actual trailer which made the show look like it was a satire of Donald Trump and in some cases that's true but not for alot of the time and it's in those cases that the jokes don't work they still could have done a satire and showed a more human side to the president but they chose not to.

Overall i'd say that this is show that you might like and i hope that alot of people do give it a shot i know i will you can find the first episode up on Showtimes website or you can watch it when the show premiers on Showtime and February 11th as you can guess there will not be a rating since it's only one episode in but if you guys want maybe when the series ends i'll do a full review then and rate it.

  

How I Think The Animated Feature List For The OSCARS Should Have Looked

I've considered making this post for the best part of the a few days now but i was honestly far to angry to do it when the nominations were released on Thursday so i've waited until my anger has gone down and here is how I feel the Animated Feature list should have looked please note if your seeing this on Cartoon Amino there will be anime films and if your seeing this on Anime Amino there's western animated films.

Coco

I think we can all agree that this film deserves to be nominated heck some might even say it deserves to win and out the actual nominations this one is most likely to win but either way this is the best film they could have gone with.

Before I continue i want you all to know that since I havn't seen either Loving Vincent or The Breadwinner or Mary And the Witches Flower i won't be making comments on any of those films so for the sake of this article you can fill them in below.

The Lego Batman Movie

This was one of the biggest casualties of this years nominations and like many of you I cannot think of a reason as to why this film wasn't nominated I know that the academy looks down on superhero films but then again this isn't just a superhero film it's a film about family and the importance of family so this was right up there street.

A Silent Voice

I'm a huge anime fan and I loved this film not because it's anime but because of the story it told but i guess the academy doesn't want stories that make you think or that have great animation and voice acting and this is one of three films that actually had me crying the other two were Coco and the next film i'm going to mention.

In This Corner Of The World

This is the other film that made me cry and it's a damn shame that both this film and A Silent Voice got snubbed for films that aren't OSCAR worthy. This film has great characters , a heartwarming yet tragic story and some great voice acting in all honesty there was nothing at all stopping The Academy from nominating this film at all.

DC Super Hero Girls Web Series Review

So then DC fans I really havn't talked about this show at all outside of the movies but I figured since the show is in it's fourth season and the TV series is due to premier in a few months it would make sense to do it now so here is my review of DC Superhero Girls.

The show basically follows the heroes and some villains in the DC world as they train at Super Hero High School. Each episode is roughly around three to five minuets long so you don't get alot of story driven episodes but since this is aimed at little kids I can forgive them for that but at the same time I do wish the episodes were a little longer.

The voice cast is full of DC voice veterans and there's a lot of them so i won't name every single cast member but in the cast we have Tara Strong , Grey Griffin , Hynden Walch , Greg Cipes , Josh Keaton and John DiMaggio. Like I said there's a lot of people in this show but out of the people i've mentioned I honestly cannot pick out just one standout performer since they are all good in the show and I hope that they are all brought over to the main TV series.

Now as you might have guessed by now the show does feature some changes to the characters designs and in truth I can see people especially older fans of these characters possibly not liking how these characters look but for a show that's aimed at little kids I think that designs work well and you can clearly tell which character is which.

Even tho this is a web show the animation is handled by Warner Bros. Animation but even with a big name like Warner Bros. backing it the animation still feels cheap and like it was done on a budget we do get some fairly nice looking CGI but that's really it I hope that for the series the animation gets a bit of an upgrade.

This series really doesn't do action scenes in it's episodes instead choosing to save them for when they do a movie or TV special. Instead the web series focuses more on the lessons that the hero and ultimately the viewer learns and for me while I can see little kids getting something out of it I can't really see any older fans who are checking the show out getting anything from it but i get it it's not meant for older fans but if you have the DC name you have to expect older fans to come and watch it. 

Like i've said several times during this review this show is aimed at little kids well to be more specific it's aimed at little girls but that's not say that little boys can't enjoy it and i'm ok with that since it goes give little girls someone in the DC world someone to look up to and it helps prove that superheroes aren't just for guys.

Overall if you have little kids or little nieces or nephews then there's no harm in showing them this cartoon and since this is something made for little kids there will not a rating since i cannot bring myself to rate it.
