Tom And Jerry Snowman's Land Film Review

 


Tom And Jerry fans the duo have made alot of holiday themed specials in the past most notably their Thanksgiving episodes. However the duo have to my knowledge at the very least never made a Christmas themed special well now that's been rectified since a Christmas themed Tom And Jerry movie has just been released which for some strange reason meant that despite this film being released both digitally and on DVD and Blu-Ray Warner Bros. have seen it fit to release this movie in the middle of November and so then join me as I review the film that is basically Tuffy: The Movie with the film in question being called simply just "Tom And Jerry Snowman's Land" enjoy.

The plot of this film is Tuffy makes and befriends a snowman that magically comes to life and so then it's up to him and Jerry to get him to the mythical and magical Snowman's Land before he melts away for good. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad but that's also the issue because it's not that good either since this film just drops plotlines for no reason and it's main plotline is very predictable for the most part in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


Starring in this film is voice acting legend Kath Soucie as Tuffy and voice acting legend Kevin Michael Richardson as Larry. Also starring in this film is Laraine Newman as Mrs. LePage , Stephen Stanton as Doctor Doublevay and Lightning , Rick Zieff as This Films Narrator and Meathead , Carlos Alazraqui as Floyd , Kimberly Brooks as The Snow Cop and The Little Girl , Joey D'Auria as Butch and Regi Davis as Snow Mayor.

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 I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With all of this films cast turning in some really good performances and doing their absolutely best to make this films weak script work for them in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Renegade Animation and Slap Happy Cartoons. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty pretty bad for the most part since there are some scenes with decent animation in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


To me this film feels like it's ripping of The Snowman only it doesn't have the courage to go all the way with it's storyline. Since in the The Snowman they have the titular character die thus teaching us kids that death is a thing that happens where as this film which is aimed at the exact same audience as The Snowman doesn't do that for absolutely no reason whatsoever in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Not only does this film rip off The Snowman but for some strange reason it also rips off a villain from Robocop with ED-209. Which is weird when you take into account that Robocop is a very adult film and so it seems weird that the film makers would rip off one of that films main villains when they very easily could have come up with an original design and yet for some reason they just don't do it which makes the makers of this film seem to be lazy and rather uncreative in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Just like with the previous film this film is a musical Vivek Maddala and co-writer Jase Ricci however this films songs just aren't that good. Even for a kids film this films songs are pretty bad with the opening song between Tuffy and Larry the snowman being the best song in the entire film and even then that songs not that good since it's just the stereotypical best friends type of song and nothing more then that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fifteen minuets and fifty three seconds. Which is the perfect amount of time for this film to last since this film really doesn't have alot interms of either plot or story to last anything even near one hour and thirty minuets and so having the film last as long as it is means that it doesn't overstay it's welcome in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very 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. Since there are some decent jokes in this film but what lets this films comedy down is the fact that the slapstick in this film is really bad which for a Tom And Jerry film isn't a good thing at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while it is nice to see the famous cat and mouse duo back in yet another new movie I just wish that this movie could have been better because it had all of the potential to be good if not great Tom And Jerry movie 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 means that this very film erns 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 Tom And Jerry fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

The Muppet Show "Lynda Carter" Review

 


Muppet fans everywhere it's been well over a year since I last did a review of an episode of the classic The Muppet Show. Well I thought that now was the right time to take a look back at another classic episode from this classic TV show and well then I think that i've found a great episode to talk about and so the join me as I review the episode that introduced the world to that world famous her Wonder Pig with the episode in question being called simply just "Lynda Carter" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Superhero fever has taken over The Muppet Studios and it's up to Kermit to put on a good show. 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 really good with this episodes plot being very easy to follow and to understand in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is Jim Henson as Kermit The Frog , Link Hogthrob , Waldorf, and The Newsman and Frank Oz as Fozzie Bear , Miss Piggy , Sam The Eagle , The Wolf and Rezal-Evad-Gib. Also starring in this episode is Jerry Nelson as Lew Zealand , Floyd Pepper , Dr. Julius Strangepork , The Idol , Super Sheep and Rat , Richard Hunt as Scooter , Janice and Statler , Dave Goelz as Gonzo and Beauregard , Steve Whitmire as Rizzo and of course we also have the great Lynda Carter as Herself.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With all of the The Muppet performers turning in some really good performances and even Lynda Carter herself turning in a really good performance and she more then holds her own performance wise when she's up against the The Muppets cast of characters as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



As mentioned at the start of this review this episodes guest star is of Wonder Woman herself Lynda Carter. Who is just a pure joy to watch in this episode with her quite clearly having a blast starring in this episode which really does shine through and I liked that they didn't have her appear as Wonder Woman since that would have been far to easy to do and as such having her appear as herself works out really well in this episodes favour in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


This episode doesn't shy away from making jokes about Lynda Carter starring as Wonder Woman since the whole character of Wonder Pig is a spoof of the Wonder Woman character. Heck Miss Piggy's and the rest of the The Muppets crew plotline revolves around them becoming superheroes this is of course a tip of the hat to Lynda Carter playing a superhero and it's something that I really liked altho the Wonder Pig sketch could have been a little bit better since it's a very badly written sketch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Sadly tho this episode isn't perfect since there are somethings that I didn't like about this episode like the fact that I didn't like the song that Floyd has since it doesn't really match up well with his character and I didn't like the fact that this episode was perhaps two dark with the opening sketch being a sketch about human sacrifice which for The Muppets is something that is just far to dark for them to handle in their own unique way in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


The greatest thing about this show is the fact that you get see famous people display some talents that we didn't know that they had. With the same thing being true for this film since I had no idea that Lynda Carter could sing and not only can she sing but she has a great voice and it really does make me wonder why she never tried to make it as a singer since she very easily could have done in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had an exact a grand total running time of exactly twenty six minuets and thirty two seconds. Which is the perfect running time for this episode to have since it is after all a sketch comedy show and those don't really need to last that long and when you add in the fact that this episode really doesn't have alot of story and so then it only makes sense that this episode has the running time that it has and isn't instead overstaying it's welcome in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Altho I will admit that this episode isn't as funny as it perhaps could have been like it would have been funny to have Diana Prince be on the show but as someone that the The Muppets gang don't believe is a real superhero even when she reveals herself as Wonder Woman but the show does nothing like that and as such alot of this jokes just aren't that funny in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while this is a good and funny episode like I just said it's not as funny as it perhaps could or even perhaps should have been and as such I can't really recommend his episode to fans outside of the fact that this episode does technically feature the first appearance of Rizzo The Rat but that's really it 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 episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode really erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 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 the website that I personally recommend using to get the actual images frim this special being the official The Muppets fandom wiki page this is simply because nearly all of the images that are featured and are thus up and on the official The Muppets fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high in definition.

Scrubs: My Own American Girl Review

 


Ladies and gentlemen i'm always looking for new things to review be it an old movie or an episode of a classic TV show. Well i've once again found something new and fresh to review and it's a favourite TV show of mine since I used to watch this show all the time and so then join me as I review the episode that marked a change in appearance for one key character with the episode of Scrubs being called simply just "My Own American Girl" enjoy.

The plot of the episode is the gang have to work together to find out what is wrong with a patient all the while one of the gang makes a life changing decision. 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 not that bad with this episodes plot being genuinely really quite freaking entertaining in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


Starring in this episode is Zach Braff as Dr. John "J.D." Dorian , Sarah Chalke as Dr. Elliot Reid and Donald Faison as Dr. Christopher Turk. Also starring in this episode is Judy Reyes as Carla Espinosa RN , John C. McGinley as Dr. Perry Cox , Ken Jenkins as Dr. Robert Kelso , Neil Flynn as Janitor , Aloma Wright as Laverne Roberts RN , Sam Lloyd as Ted Buckland, Esq. , Scott Foley as Sean Kelly , Lee Arenberg as Dr. Moyer , Sean Whalen as Laddy , Brad Koepenick as Dr. Mitchell Franks , Bonnie Perlman as Mrs. Farr and Christa Miller as Jordan Sullivan.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which really shouldn't come as a surprise to absolutely anybody as all of this episodes main cast have been playing these characters for a few years at this point and so then they are of course going to turn in some really good performances in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



For those of you that are wondering this is the episode that sees the character of Dr. Elliot Reid have a compete and total breakdown. This was something that felt oddly in character since at this point this character has been seen pretty much as a doormat due to her more privileged upbringing and so when she gets into the real world she isn't prepared for all the hardships that come with it and that comes to a head in a great sequence in this episode which sets up her character for the rest of the show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Believe it or not the makeover scene that this episode is famous for was born out of the fact that the network wanted to make actress Sarah Chalke appear to be more attractive so that they could pretty much make her the face of the show. So instead just having the character appear different at the start of the episode with no explanation given creator , writer and director of this episode Bill Lawrence decided to make it apart of her characters journey which really does work out really well in this episodes favour in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

One of the major downsides of this episode is the fact that very few of the side characters get alot of screen time. Which is a shame because it's the side characters that get alot of the episodes biggest laughs and even tho they do appear in the episodes B plot they don't effect that plot line which just makes it feel like a waste of these really funny characters and these really funny actors and actresses in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


This episode really doesn't let three of the main cast of the characters just do their thing which is understandable since they are meant to be growing as both Doctors and Nurses. However it also robs the characters of just being fun which since this is a comedy that should have been the main thing since you always want your episodes and your characters to be fun and entertaining in a comedy TV show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty minuets and fourteen seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for a TV sitcom such as this one and as such the episode really doesn't feel like it's on to long which is a shame because I was having such a fun time watching these characters that I hadn't seen in years and so I think that it would have helped if this episode was a tad bit longer in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / resented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episode being really funny and with alot of this films jokes getting a big laugh out of me and while this film does have some bad jokes in it those are in the majority and are not in the minority in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was such a good episode and it really did feel good to see these characters again since I hadn't seen an episode from this show is years and it was also a really funny episode 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 episode in this freaking very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a freaking 8.5 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 Scrubs fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very post being the official Scrubs fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Scrubs fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

My SPOILER FILLED First Impressions Of The Really Loud House TV Series

 


TV fans sometimes you just have to ask yourself why like why does Spongebob have spin off shows and why is Teen Titans Go still a thing. Well now we have one more why to add to that list since The Loud House has now spawned a live action TV series and so then join me as I give you all my SPOILER FILLED first impressions of the show that really isn't needed with the TV show in question being called simply just "The Really Loud House" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Lincoln and Clyde want to stay up and watch a TV show marathon but in order to so they have to get Mom and Dad out of the house. 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 really bad since this episodes plot just wasn't all that entertaining at all and it was really predictable as all heck in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is Wolfgang Schaeffer as Lincoln , Jahzir Bruno as Clyde , Eva Carlton as Leni and Sophia Woodward as Luna. Also starring in this show is Catherine Ashmore Bradley as Luan , Annaka Fourneret as Lynn , Aubin Bradley as Lucy , Mia Allan as Lana , Ella Allan as Lola , Lexi Janicek as Lisa , Jolie Jenkins as Rita , Brian Stepanek as Lynn Sr. and The Voice Of Robot Todd , Lexi DiBenedetto as Lori , August Michael Peterson as Lily , Emily Ford as Lily and Miles Burris as Rip Hardcore.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us on this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Altho with that being said the acting that we get in this episode isn't that good either since it's the stereotypical over the top acting that we get in a lot of live action kids sitcoms in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



There's one key thing that this show doesn't have but what the original animated show does have and that's charm. Since just based of this one episode it seems like this show is missing being charming and that's a shame because that's what helps to set the original show apart from all of the other animated TV shows out there and so then when you strip all of the charm from the show all you end up with is just another kids family comedy TV show and nothing more then that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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



This show is basically a continuation of the dreadful A Loud House Christmas christmas film with all of the films main cast returning to reprise their roles for this show. I have to admit that I did like that idea since it gave the show a chance to improve upon the films many faults however it instead doubles down on those faults which is a shame because a live action version of The Loud House could work but you need to have talented writers to pull it of and that's something that is quite sorely lacking in this show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

This is most evident in the fact that alot if not all of this episodes main characters have been made really dumb. With Lynn Sr. being worst of for this since in the original show even tho he had his more dumb moments it was always done as charming but here since there's no charm he just comes of as someone who is to dumb to even function with evidence to this being the fact that in his opening scene he's seen lying on the kitchen floor fast asleep for no reason even tho the show does explain why he's lying on the floor with him having been scared by Lucy in the middle of the night it doesn't explain why he's fast asleep or why he even stayed there which just makes the character look really dumb as all heck in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Also suffering is the characters since none of this episodes characters are given that much of a personality. Which means that all of the kids just sort of blend into one character at best or just become nameless and forgettable characters at there worst which for a show that has this many main characters is not something that you want to be the case at all since you always want your characters to stand out and be memorable in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and forty three seconds. Which is a blessing since it means that this episode isn't on for that long and it really does help that this episode has the perfect amount of story to cover this amount of running time altho I will admit that this episode big lesson does feel a bit and as such it also feels a tad bit unearned as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this a comedy show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With this episode getting some laughs out of me however for every good joke that this episode tells it very quickly follows it up with two or three very bad jokes as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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


Overall if you thought that A Loud House Christmas was the worst thing to come out of this franchise then you clearly haven't seen this show as this episode just based of this one episode is 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 this episode in this very post and since this only my first impressions of the show i'm not going to give this show a rating but I will review this show if i'm still watching by the time that the final episode is either released or aired.

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 used in this very post from the official The Loud House fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very post being the official The Loud House fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official The Loud House fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Zootopia+ TV Series Review

 


Disney is a company that has really found there stride with there animated short films format and well they've just released another TV series that adapts that same format. I have to admit that until a few days ago I had no idea that this show was even coming out but i've just seen all six episodes and i'm ready to talk about the show and so the join me as I review the show that thanks to bad marketing not alot of people will even know is out with the show in question being called simply just "Zootopia+" enjoy.

This show really doesn't have a plot with this show adopting an anthology TV series format with each episode very rarely being connected to one another. I have to admit that I really do like this format not only for this show but all of the Disney animated shows that have used this format thus far since it allows us to get to know alot more characters then what I standard TV series would in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is Bonnie Hunt as Bonnie Hopps , Don Lake as Stu Hopps and John Lavelle as Yax and Grandpa Hopps. Also starring in this show is Katie Lowes as Molly Hopps , Brianca and Mandy , Leah Latham as Fru Fru , Michelle Buteau as Trudy "Tru Tru" , Porsha Williams as Christine , Crystal Kung Minkoff as Charisma , Alan Tudyk as Duke Weaselton , Maurice LaMarche as Mr. Big , Imari Williams as Rhino Boss , Nate Torrence as Clawhauser , Idris Elba as Chief Bogo , Shakira as Gazelle , Charlotte Nicdao as Sam , Raymond S. Persi as Flash , Kristen Bell as Priscilla , John Lavelle as Gerald Cook , Byron Howard as Bucky and Jared Bush as Pronx.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show 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 show was in all honesty not that bad. With all of the returning actors and actresses turning in some good performances but what lets the overall quality of the acting down is the fact that the new actors and actresses just don't turn in that good performances in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Doing the animation for this whole entire show is the rather unknown animation studio of Bardel Entertainment. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty alot better then what I thought that it was going to be with this shows animation being feature film worthy in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


For those wondering this show takes place during the events of the Zootopia movie and as such we do get to see some scenes from the movie not only referenced but also shown from another point of view. This to me was a huge mistake since all it did was serve to remind me that I could be watching a much better product but when this show does do something new with those scenes and those ideas we do get some pretty good episodes and characters moments out of it which is a very good thing indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

I have to say that the marketing for this show has been atrocious since the trailer for the show only came out a few short days ago and they haven't released a poster for the show just the banner for the show. So it really wouldn't surprise me if alot of you really didn't know or just straight up forgot about this show because that's how bad the marketing for this show and that's not a good thing at all since you should always want people to know about what your releasing regardless of if it's bad or not in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Rather bizarrely there's one episode of this show that's a musical which has a song written by Michael Giacchino with the song itself being called simply just Big Time. The song itself isn't that bad of a song and it's sung rather well by actor Alan Tudyk but it's rather weird that a franchise that is not known for having musical numbers now suddenly has a musical themed episode granted they explain it in a way that makes sense but it's still a rather strange to see in this show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then each episode of this show has a rough running time of no longer then exactly ten minuets long. Which is the perfect amount of time for this shows to last but at the exact same time tho alot of this shows stories have more then enough story there to fill out a standard twenty two minuets running time and so cutting those stories down to well under ten minuets only does hard to those stories and two this show which isn't a good thing at all since the story should dictate how long the episode should be and not the other way around in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since is a comedy show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. With some of this shows episodes having some genuinely funny moments and funny jokes but sadly the same thing cannot be said of the rest of the episodes tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while this show isn't that bad of a show it's still a huge stepdown interms of overall quality espically when it's being compared to either Baymax or Star Wars: Tales Of The Jedi 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 show in this very review and as such that means that this very show erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Disney fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the official Disney fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Disney fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being really very fairly freaking high in definition.

X-Men: The Animated Series Episodes Five Through Seven Review

 


X-Men fans it's been well over a year since I last spoke about any episode from the classic X-Men: The Animated Series. Which is such a shame because this show is that darned good while it's not Batman: The Animated Series good it's easily better then Spider-Man: The Animated Series and as such i'm taking a look at the next THREE episodes of this classic cartoon show and so then join me as I review the episodes that introduce us to two classic X-Men characters with the episodes in question being called simply just "Captive Hearts" "Cold Vengeance" and "Slave Island" enjoy.

The overall plot of these three episodes is that Wolverine's feelings for Jean Grey continue to grow and Gambit , Storm and Jubilee are sent to an island that supposedly welcomes mutants only to discover something far more sinister is going on. 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 either Slave Island or Cold Vengeance simply because those two actually tie in together where as Captive Hearts feels alot more like a prolog then apart of the actual story in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


Starring in these episodes is Cedric Smith as Charles Xavier / Professor X and Cal Dodd as Logan / Wolverine. Also starring these episodes is Norm Spencer as Scott Summers / Cyclops , Iona Morris as Ororo Munroe / Storm , Chris Potter as Remy LeBeau / Gambit , Catherine Disher as Jean Grey , Lenore Zann as Rogue , Alyson Court as Jubilation Lee / Jubilee , Susan Roman as Callisto , John Stocker as Leech , Dan Hennessey as Sunder , David Corban as Tar Baby , Judy Marshak as Plague , Kay Tremblay as Annalee , Ross Petty as Ape Don Francks as Graydon Creed, Sr. / Sabretooth , Paul Haddad as Kiyoek , Barry Flatman as Henry Peter Gyrich , David Fox as The Voice Of The Sentinels and Master Mold , Brett Halsey as Bolivar Trask , Stephen Ouimette as Cameron Hodge , Lawrence Bayne as Cable , Robert Cait as The Blob and Dennis Akayama as Sunfire.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the 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. With all of this cast really turning in some really good performances and the same can also be said for all of the guest cast in these very episodes as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Doing the animation for these episodes and for the rest of this vole series is Akom Production Company. 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 really good altho I did notice an animation error in Cold Vengeance which is very sadly a common thing with all of these early episodes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


The episode Slave Island also introduces Mystique and Cable with Mystique appearing in a none speaking role. I have to admit that knowing that Mystique was in one of these episodes was the reason as to why I wanted to do these reviews however I had no idea that the very same episode would also see the debut of Cable it's just a shame that we don't really get to find out all that much about either character tho which is a understandable it's still something that I didn't like about these episodes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Out of the three episodes I really did like the episode Slave Island the best simply because of the fact that it really does delve into the hatred that regular people have for mutants. With the idea of mutants being used as slaves being an incredibly dark idea and it's one that's pulled of really well it's just a shame that the episodes leading up to it just aren't that good with the first episode being forgettable at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


The episode Captive Hearts starts a plotline that you'd think would play a part in the further two episodes but it sadly doesn't. That being the fact that Storm becomes the ruler of a group of underground mutants which is a shame because the remaining X-Men that go help out Storm , Gambit and Jubilee know about these mutants and so they could have gotten them to help them out and that would have redeemed them and fully turned them to the side of good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then all of these episodes have a combined grand total running time of roughly one hour and thirty minuets. With all three episodes lasting no loner then twenty one minuets which is a great amount of time for all of these three episodes to last since this is essentially a three part storyline but even so it's only episodes two and three that connect to each other and as such I have to wonder why this storyline was as long as it was since it really didn't need to be that long in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this is an action show that means 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 that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. With the best action coming from Slave Island where we get to see a hole bunch of mutants fighting together which is just so cool to see in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall these are some really good episodes which do a good job of advancing the first seasons storyline a whilst also being some genuinely fun episodes to watch 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 all of these episodes get a combined score of exactly an 8 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 Marvel Animated Universe fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images this film being the official Marvel Animated Universe fandom wiki page this is because all of the images that I got and that currently up , featured and on the official Marvel Animated Universe fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high in definition.

The Simpsons "Girly Edition" Review

 


Fans of The Simpsons it's been a little over a year since I last covered an episode of The Simpsons and well I thought that it was right time to cover another episode from this rather iconic show. I'm not going to say that this is a classic episode heck I don't that die hard Simpsons fans like this episode all that much and so then join me as I review the episode that aimed to make kids and little kids alike like the news with the episode in question being called simply just "Girly Edition" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Lisa and Bart and tasked with hosting a news programme aimed at kids but when Bart becomes more popular Lisa starts to get jealous. 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 not that bad with this episodes plot being quite enjoyable in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Starring in this episode is Dan Castellaneta as Homer Simpson , Itchy ,Krusty The Clown , Groundskeeper Willie and Grampa Simpson , Julie Kavner as Marge Simpson and Nancy Cartwright as Bart Simpson and Richard. Also starring in this episode is Yeardley Smith as Lisa Simpson , Jo Ann Harris as Lewis Clark , Pamela Hayden as Milhouse Van Houten , Hank Azaria as Apu Nahasapeemapetilon , Harry Shearer as Waylon Smithers, Jr. , Mr. Burns , Scratchy , Seymour Skinner and Kent Brockman and Tress MacNeille as Crazy Cat Lady.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured /presented to us in this very well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With all of this episodes main cast members turn in some really good performances in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Doing the animation for this episode is Film Roman Productions and the legend and the greats that are currently over at Rough Draft Korea. 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 with this episodes animation being very well done but at the same time this episodes animation was also fairly bad in some places in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


I believe that season nine is where the show started to repeat alot of plotlines but I might be wrong tho and that is very clear with Bart and Lisa's plotline. Which sees the two go through another dose of sibling sibling rivalry which plays out exactly how you'd think that it would which really does make me wonder why they always go back to this plotline when the episodes that see them working together to overcome a common enemy works so much better and are much more stronger plotlines in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

They do give Homer somewhat of a plotline in this episode with a helper monkey but it really doesn't go anywhere nor does it play into the main plot of the episode. Which is a shame because it's such an entertaining plotline and it would have given us something that's fresh and new which is something at this point in time the show was struggling to do because of how many episodes were being produced per season and so they should have made this episodes main plot the B plot and they should have made the B plot the main plot of this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


I have to admit that I really did like how Kent Brockman gives Bart advice and it's just the most unhelpful piece of advice. Which is just fitting for his character since his character is a fame hungry person and so of course he'd know the cheapest and laziest way to get people to like him and it also gives Bart kind of a father figure or mentor type of character which again works well for the character of Kent Brockman in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes running time even was but I do know that for a fact that this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly twenty one minutes and fifty one seconds. Which I felt was kind of short amount of running time to do this story justice since it meant that the plot points felt rushed and didn't really earned at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty pretty weak. While there are some decent jokes in this episode there are also a lot of rather unfunny jokes as well which for a classic Simpsons episode isn't a good thing at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a decent episode but it's also a rather weak episode of the show which is a shame because this episode does have some really good ideas within it in my freaking opinion 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 means that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 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 Simpsons fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images this film being the official The Simpsons fandom wiki page this is because all of the images that I got and that currently up , featured and on the official The Simpsons fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high in definition.
