Worzel Gummidge "Moving On" Review

It's fairly safe to say at this point in time that I really do love Worzel Gummidge so much so that I own all of the episodes from the original Jon Pertwee version of the show on remastered DVD. With the episode that i'm going to be reviewing for you all today being an episode that does kind of set the tone for what we would get in the following sequel series Worzel Gummidge Down Under and so then join me as I review the episode that could technically be considered the first part of a two part episode with the episode in question being called simply just "Moving On" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when The Peter's and The Braithwaights return from there join holiday to Tenerife they find there home in shambles as both Worzel and Aunt Sally have been living there and now Worzel has to find a way of being reunited with his beloved Aunt Sally when a fairground collector comes by and picks her up with the hopes of restoring her to her former glory. 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 but at the same time tho this episodes plot wasn't all that good either as even tho the next episode has next to nothing to do with this episode in terms of plot outside of Worzel , Aunt Sally and later The Crowman being in a new location this episodes plot does feel like that it's just one long prolog to a much more better episode that's not to say that this episodes plot is bad because it's not infact there times where the old charm that this show had when it just focused on Worzel as a character really does begin to shine through but because of the fact that this is the era where Aunt Sally was forced into alot of episodes it's not a plot that's as fun as it really could have been and while you can't really see the ending coming it's the events that lead up to the ending that let the whole thing down as this is a plot that really could have been handled much more better then what it was in the final episode with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Doctor Who star Jon Pertwee as Worzel Gummidge and Una Stubbs as Aunt Sally. Also starring in this episode is Norman Bird as Mr. Braithwaite, Megs Jenkins as Mrs. Braithwaite , Mike Berry as Mr. Peters , Charlotte Coleman as Sue Peters , Jeremy Austin as John Peters , Diana Van Proosdy as Mrs. Cousins , Geoffrey Bayldon as The Crowman and Aysha Mitchell as Emma.

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 for this show is really nothing all that new as all of this shows episodes including the ones that aren't that good all have the same thing in common and that's the fact that the acting in all of them is nearly always top notch with the same thing being true for this episode as well as all of this episodes actors really do turn in some really good performances which is something that does make alot of sense as this show had an OSCAR winning director directing all but one of the shows episodes in director James Hill who it is said treated this show like he was making his next big feature length film and that is something that does shine through in the episodes performances as he always demanded the best work from all of the actors that he worked with be they kids or adults and because of that it meant that we got to see some truly wonderful pieces of acting not only from this show but from this episode as well with it being hard to say just who the best actor in this episode really was they all turn in some really great performances in their own right with the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

What this episode does do that alot of other Aunt Sally focused episodes don't do is show us both Worzel and Aunt Sally together and happy. As alot of the time we see them arguing with each other and Aunt Sally usually betraying Worzel's trust and love for her by the end of the episode something which is still in the episode but alot of the time we actually get to see them happy and act friendly to one another which is something that does make for a refreshing and while Aunt Sally will never ever truly love Worzel due to the fact that she has to much of an ego that's half the fun of the episode is just seeing these characters one of which doesn't like the other and the other is completely and madly in love with the other just get along with one another and while other episodes have shown them acting friendly to each other in the past it's never usually for alot of the episode and is more usually then not just for a few minuets of that episodes running time where as here they act like good friends for the vast majority of the episode which was sweet as it gave us the audience a chance to see that Aunt Sally can be kind to Worzel regardless of if she's going to be getting something out of it or not but at the same time that also makes Worzel all the more foolish as even tho he's a scarecrow of very little brain he really should have learned by now that she will hurt him and break his heart something that she does at the end of the episode when she runs off right infront of him to join the fair only now Worzel runs after her which only makes the heartbreak that he goes through in the following episode all the more upsetting as we the audience know just how far he's willing to go to be with the woman that he truly loves even if it's going to cause him alot of heartache in the process.

Again what was interesting about this episode in particular was seeing Worzel and Aunt Sally sharing a house together. With this being something that Worzel had always wanted and Aunt Sally had aways wanted a house of there own and yet even so they still do fall back onto old habits with Worzel doing anything and everything that Aunt Sally says but messing it up in his own unique way and Aunt Sally bossing him around and doing whatever it takes to make sure that she herself doesn't get to do any of the housework something which does feel true to who both of these characters as Worzel would do anything that she says as that's how he thinks that she's expressing her love for him and Aunt Sally would go about doing anything to avoid doing any of the housework as she's a big time diva with the ego to match it and the fact that the house that they've chosen to live in actually belongs to The Braithwaights does work as well as while any of those characters would never go abroad for a holiday the fact that they left there house unattended made it perfect for Worzel and Aunt Sally to go wild and have there way with it something which they did take full advantage of altho given that the farm hand Harry was meant to be looking after the place and was nowhere to be seen throughout the entire episode does make you wonder what he was up to as the episode does kind of start of a plot with Mr. Braithwaite believing Harry to be the one that caused all of the mess in the house and around the farm yard but the episode does drop it for no good reason which is understandable as the episode is meant to be all about Worzel and Aunt Sally and to be fair the two living together is more then enough for comedy gold to happen.

As was mentioned at the very start of this review this episode does kind of start something that the sequel series Worzel Gummidge Down Under would also do and that's the two part episode. As while this episode isn't a two-parter in the more traditional meaning of the word the next episode does mainly feature Worzel and Aunt Sally now working at the fair that Worzel was chasing after at the end of this episode with The Crowman eventually catching up to him but that's really the only thing that connects the two episodes but it is something that does show you that the makers of this show were more then willing to make these stories that do require more then one episode in order to do them justice and while these two episodes aren't the best example of how to do a two part episode the very fact that they tried to do one at all with the limited main characters and still somehow managed to make a memorable new character in Dolly Clothes Peg does go to show you that even with a very limited set of characters and very little plot to actually follow up on magic can still happen if you have the right creative team involved but even with that said the two part episodes that they did do in Worzel Gummidge Down Under are better in the regards that there actually stories that do require more then episode to tell there story and do take full advantage of being a two part episode by making those episodes not only more ambitious then the rest of the shows episodes but also at times alot more scary as well where as with  this two part episode and this episode in particular it felt like that they were playing things a bit to safe with the story that was being told.

For some odd reason the makers of this episode don't really do much with The Crowman with him being just behind Worzel and Aunt Sally for alot of the episode. This is despite the fact that previous episodes have established the fact that he always knows where all of his scarecrows are thanks to his Pigeons telling him so which makes you wonder why he just didn't use them in this episode and catch up to both Worzel and Aunt Sally before Worzel took his bike at the end of the episode as that then would made the characters inclusion in this episode seem more relevant and would have been more true to his character because as things are him being in the episode just feels like a set up for the ending of the next episode as he has very little to do in this episode which does make you wonder why the character was forced into this episode as the Worzel creative team are usually pretty good about what characters get included in what episode with them all serving a purpose in the episode that there in and yet here they seemed to have dropped the ball as The Crowman would know straight away where to find Worzel and Aunt Sally and while he might not be able to stop Aunt Sally from leaving the village as he didn't create her he did create Worzel and could therefor persuade him to remain in the village but for whatever reason the makers of this episode just chose to have remain just behind whatever Worzel and Aunt Sally are doing and ignoring all of his scarecrows which is something that does feel very out of character for him this is despite the fact that it's been shown in several episodes that he does have other scarecrows to look after apart from Worzel Gummidge and so he would therefor want to give them as much attention as he gives him.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and fifty nine seconds. Which to be fair to this episode is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show to have with the episode even having the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time and the episode even makes great use of it's running time as the plot of the episode does feel as fully developed as it was going to be considering that this is basically the first part of a two part episode even the following the episode doesn't really follow up on the plots from this episode and just does it's own thing with even the episodes characters being a fully developed as they could have been which is something that's not really a praise for this episode as alot of this episodes characters are the series main characters and have therefor been in alot of the previous and so it would make sense for them to be fully developed characters as we the audience have had several episodes at this point in time to really get to know there characters and choose weather or not that we like them or not with really the only character that's not that well developed is the character of Mrs. Cousins however this isn't a negative thing as the character only appears in this one episode and is never seen from again in the rest of the show with the same thing also being true for her daughter Emma and so of course they won't that well developed as characters and to be fair the episode doesn't really suffer because of there lack of character development either but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is comedy that really does mean 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 the episode having alot of moments in it that whilst they aren't laugh out funny they are cute enough jokes that people will find them funny regardless with those being the kind of jokes where this show excel as alot of the stuff with Worzel just trying to please Aunt Sally but messing it up will always be funny because of the fact that Worzel is just a likable character that we the audience will find alot of the stuff that does to be funny automatically because of the fact that Worzel himself is a funny character and paring him with Aunt Sally will always result in comedy gold with both Jon Pertwee and Una Stubbs having such great comedic timing together that they can make alot of things funny with even the fact that Aunt Sally manages to hit Worzel on the head with a serving tray being a really joke as it feels like something that she would do especially when she's angry at him like she was in this episode and the fact that the episode ends with both of them actually like friends just naming cakes together is a really cute joke with it being hard to say just what the best joke is in this episode as all of this episodes jokes including the stuff with The Peter's and The Braithwaights returning from their holiday and just having people brush past them in a tightly packed British restaurant is a funny joke in it's own with all of this episodes being some really good jokes in their own right as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  

Overall whilst this episode isn't the series best episode as the episode does have alot of things that are wrong with it with those issues becoming more of a common thread with the fourth series of this show but in saying that this was still a really solid episode in it's own right 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 rings 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 7.5 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 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.

Dora And The Search For Sol Dorado Film Review

There are just some movies that when you first hear about them you know right away that there going to be bad movies. Be it due to who's involved with making them be it from an acting standpoint , a writing standpoint or even a producer or directing standpoint or in the case of the film that i'm going to be talking to you about today it's because it's a made for Nickelodeon movie and those typically aren't good or even watchable for that matter and so then join me as I review the film that is a more kid friendly version of both Raiders Of The Lost Ark and The Mummy Returns only without the wit and charm of either film with the film in question being called simply just "Dora And The Search For Sol Dorado" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when a teenaged Dora and Diego suddenly find out that some evil people are trying to find this mythical hidden place it's up to the exploring duo and there two new friends to find it before the mercenaries do. 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 at the same time it's also not all that good either with the best word to describe the plot being predictable as that's truly what the plot of this film is it's predictable as you can tell right away where the plot of this film is going to go and sure enough it goes to those exact same places granted it might not be in the order that you think it might be but the point still remains that the film goes to those same places with it's plot with it feeling like that the makers of this film where just making the safest possible film that they could have done for this franchise which is something that does make sense as this franchise is made for little kids afterall but if that was the case then why did they do what the previous live action Dora film did and age the characters up when they could have just kept them as kids and why did they include elements that would be considered to scary for kids but to give this film some credit it's plot can be pretty fun at times despite how predictable that it is with the plot of this film not really being really rather entertaining and nor is it really rather engaging either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Samantha Lorraine as Dora Márquez , Jacob Rodriguez as Diego Márquez and Mariana Garzón Toro as Naiya. Also starring in this film is Acston Luca Porto as Sonny , María Cecilia Botero as Dora's Grandmother , J. Santiago Suarez as Dora's Grandfather , Jacqueline Obradors as The Voice Of Mango , Christian Gnecco Quintero as Beetle , Valentina Latyna as Sabrina Márquez , Valentina Acosta as Elena Márquez , Daniella Pineda as Camila The Crusader and Gabriel Iglesias as The Voice Of Boots.

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 feature / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not all that bad. Which is kind of expected for this film as it's acting isn't all that good either as you can tell that both Samantha Lorraine and Jacob Rodriguez really are trying to make this films poor excuse of a script work well enough for them but the issue is is that none of the films other actors are trying with all of them just phoning in their performances like they know that there in a bad movie and so there just not going to try and even Daniella Pineda who phoned in her performance in Netflix's live action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop is doing the exact same thing here but where as on that show she came across as being unlikeable due to how she talked and acted when promoting the show in this film her being unlikable actually makes sense as she's meant to be the films main villain with her being one of the only three actors being perfectly cast in this film with the other other two being Samantha and Jacob and even Gabriel Iglesias who can be decently funny here is given nothing funny to say or do and so his casting feels alot more like stunt casting where as the in the last live action Dora film they cast both Danny Trejo and Dee Bradley Baker both of whom turn in better performances in that film that what Gabriel Iglesias really does in this film with the acting that's in this very 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 characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does hep to lower the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

For once I can't tell you who did the CGI for this film as there are no effects companies listed anywhere on the films IMDB page. 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 as while this films CGI is quite clearly a huge step down interms of quality from that of the first film that's more due to the fact that these made for streaming and made for TV movies don't typically have that large of a budget and so of course there effects budget won't that big either with this being something that does sadly come through in the effects as both of the films CGI characters look really off putting as they just look like that there not quite there with both of them having this weird uncanny valley type of look to them that does make them more disturbing that cute and friendly which is find for a character like Swiper as he's meant to be a villain anyway but it's not something that works well enough for Boots and while this film does have quite alot of bad CGI in it there some decent looking water and fire effects that do look good irregardless of what the films effects budget was however with this film being as effects heavy as it was then there should have been more of an effort to give the film the higher effects budget that it not only wanted but needed as well as then the makers of this film could actually create some decent looking effects and not create effects that are already starting to show there age.

This film is of course based off of the very successful kids animated TV show Dora The Explorer however unlike the first movie which used the cliches that the show had in charming ways. Here tho this movie just straight up either gets rid of them entirely or over does them so much that they stop being charming and start becoming annoying with the film even spending a good few minuets not only explaining how Dora first got her map in the first place but also how she first met Boots and how he got his name both of which were things that weren't needed explaining to us as even tho the only one of those two things that play apart in the movie is the map we still don't need to see how she got it in the first place it's a kids movie we the audience can just piece it together as the film goes along and heck even the film has Dora break the fourth wall so many times in the show much like how she did in the show but in the show it was done to advance the plot of the episode where as here it's done just so tho that the makers of the film can have a reference to the show which is granted is cute at first but then they keep on doing it and it gets to the point where it stops being cute and starts to be annoying as it makes it look like that the makers of this film are just using her breaking the fourth wall this often just so that they can pad the films running time and heck they even have her say "Go Diego Go" at one point which is a reference to the fact that the show had a spin off series called "Go Diego Go" which just felt forced and wasn't as charming as the makers of this film quite clearly thought that it would be this is not to mention the fact Dora in this movie straight up says "Hello I'm Dora" in Spanish like she did in the show quite alot of the time was well which much like all of the other references in this movie started out charming but then became annoying pretty quickly.

This film is listed as being a comedy everywhere online yet it's missing the key thing that all comedies have that being jokes. As there are very few to no decent jokes in this film which fair enough this is a kids movie so maybe the films target audience will find alot of this films jokes to be really funny but at the same time tho there still needs to be some decent jokes in the film even if your poking fun at the show that your adapting but doing so in a funny and respectful manor here tho the film is devoid of jokes as it's far more interested in it's adventure aspect which is fair enough as this is an action adventure comedy film but when you skew far to much one way and don't give anything to any other aspect of your film then at that point you might as well just drop that aspect all together with the only kinds of jokes that you can expect to find in this film being jokes that are cute but not laugh out loud funny like the fact that Dora is the only one that can understand which is a cute joke and it's one that would be really funny if the film did something with it but they don't and the film is filled to brim with jokes like that like how Boots likes all but one of the characters in this film just because she called him a monkey which again is a cute joke but the film doesn't do anything with it and infact they never bring that joke back something that they could have done at the end of the film but they don't which makes it a waste of a solid joke and it's something that makes you wonder why the makers of this film bothered to make this film a comedy in the first place as they don't give the only funny actors in this film Gabriel Iglesias alot of funny things to say in this film with the only funny things that they have his character saying be cute one off jokes that would have been laugh loud funny if they made them into a recurring joke.

As a villain Camila The Crusader isn't that bad of a character as she's basically a kids TV show presenter that got disgruntled when she was embarrassed on live TV when something that she was trying to find wasn't found. Thus she spent about ten years of her life looking for the mythical Sol Dorado much like how both Dora and Diego however where as they were looking for it for the joy of exploring and finding new things she was looking for it to get back at those that mocked her and caused her show to be cancelled which to be fair to this film is a pretty motive for a villain to have and the film does go as far as they can possibly go with it but at the same time tho they do commit a big sin by having her be redeemed at the end of the movie which is something that just doesn't work in this movie as every thing that we'd seen with this character up until this point in time points to her not being a redeemable a character and since this film was borrowing things from both The Mummy Returns and Raiders Of The Lost Ark anyway why not go the whole hog here and have her be killed off as the makers pf this film show that there perfectly willing to kill of bad people as they have her sidekick get killed near the end of the movie so why not have the villain get into a fight with Dora only for the villains own ego to get the better of her and that's what kills off as that is something that will teach kids that not all people are redeemable something which there going to learn at somepoint anyway so it might as well be done in this film plus it would be something that would be a fitting end for this character as well as she would ultimately get consumed by her own need to get revenge on those that wronged her in the past.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty six minuets and eight seconds. Which to be fair is pretty much the exact grand total running time that you'd expect a film like this one to have with the fil having the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time in this very first place but at the same time tho this film really doesn't use it's plot all that wisely as it doesn't develop any of the themes and ideas that the film has like for example the film straight up tells us that Diego and Naiya were once in a relationship and broke up but it never tells why which wouldn't be a big thing where it not for the fact that the film keeps on coming back to it with even the fact that the film has a plot line between Diego and Dora where he struggles to tell her that he's moving away from the jungle for year to do an internship in New York with that plot line not only being not that well thought out but also really predictable as you know where it's going to go the second that the film starts it with this lack of development even going to the films main characters as all of the films main characters get no development whatsoever with Dora going through a plot where she losses her map near the start of the film and has to try and work out who she is over the course of the film only the film then undoes all of that by having Diego gift her a new map at the end of the film but that's the gold star treatment when compared Sonny who gets nothing interms of both character development and personality and is only there so that the films target kid audience can have someone like them in the movie and that's really it 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 fil that really does mean that I have to 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. Given that this is a made for streaming movie and is based off of a kids animated Tv show it would be foolish to expect this film to be very action packed and it's rightfully not with the film being more of adventure comedy then it is an action adventure comedy film but with all that being said the film does have one semi decent fight scene near the end of the movie where Camila The Crusader who has now turned good again fights of her sidekick in order to buy Dora and the crew sometime to fill up these ancient weights with gold unless they'll all be left in this tomb forever which is something that does make the action scene alot more tense then what it really had any right to be and while there are some chase scenes through out the movie it's that fight scene that is the best action scene in the whole movie just due to that ticking time bomb element which is something that does make it standout from all of the other action scenes that are in this film as to be frank alot of this films other action scenes are just bland action scenes that aren't really all that fun to watch and while it's and while it's understandable why this films action isn't as good as it perhaps could have been as this is afterall still a kids movie it's also a lot more better then what it could have been as well with that really also being true for all of the action scenes that are in this very film as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall out of the two live action Dora The Explorer films this one is quite easily the worst one which granted isn't saying much considering that this film wasn't made with a theatrical release in mind and therefor it will of course be a step down interms of quality from the previous film with this film not even being worth watching as it's a film that's just that bad 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 very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 3.5 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 Dora The Explorer 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.

Ironheart TV Series SPOILER FILLED Review

This year is proving to be quite the year for Riri Williams as she is not only going to be a main character in the Iron Man And His Awesome Friends kids animated series but her very own live action series has just released it's final three episodes. Given that last week I promised that i'd review the show as a whole this week i'm going to be doing exactly that and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the show the show where the second half of the show is alot more better then the first half of the show with the show in question being called simply just "Ironheart" enjoy.

The plot of this show is sometime after the events of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Riri Williams finds herself being kicked out of MIT and so she moves back home to Chicago where she quickly falls in with a group of thief's where she must find out if she truly is a good person or not. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot 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 plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time it wasn't all that good with the plot as whole being done alot more better in the second half of the show as it felt like that there was some actual stakes in those final three episodes where as in the first three episodes of the show it kind of felt like that the characters were just doing things because the plot demanded that they do it with the main plot of the show barely getting any focus during those first three episodes which made all the more surprising when the final three episodes actually gave the plot of the show alot more focus with it being in these final three episodes where we get to see just how much promise that this shows plot had but because of the fact that the makers of this show chose not to actually focus and develop the shows plot early on this shows plot does feel rushed and undercooked alot of the time somethin which could have been fixed if the makers of this show actually cared about the plot and gave it the focus that it really did need early on in the show and not when the show was almost over with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this show is Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams / Ironheart and Lyric Ross as Natalie Washington / N.A.T.A.L.I.E..

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show 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 show was in all honesty not that bad. As alot of this shows actors are some really good actors in their own right even tho quite alot of them haven't been in anything all that major there is still quite alot of talent on display here with that being something that really come through in all six of this shows episodes as all of this shows actors at some point do get a time to shone be it because there doing something dramatic or there doing something comedic they do all get the chance to show us just what they can do as an actor with that being true for the shows best actor who is Lyric Ross as she is just a joy to watch as Natalie as the character can be laugh out loud funny at times and yet then in the same scene say something that's really dramatic and all of it works because of how good of an actor that she is and while Dominique Thorne really does have the slight advantage in that she ha played Riri Williams the longest she is still trying to find her character where as with Lyric Ross it does look like that she found her character right away and was just having fun with her character with that being something that really does shine through in the final show with the acting that's in this very show really not being helped by the fact that this shows scripts are just so bad as they give none of this films actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does hurt the overall quality of the acting that's in this very show.

Doing the CGI for this show is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Legacy Effects and Tippett Studio. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI 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 CGU that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad for the most part as while yes granted you can very easily tell that this show either had a very small effects budget or the effects teams where being rushed as the quality of the shows effects does very from episode to episode with some of the shows episodes having some pretty decent looking CGI in them and the rest having some really bad looking CGI in them however this isn't something that's just an issue for this show as it's an issue for every single live action MCU show but to be fair to this show tho when the show does have some really nice looking effects in it they do look really good with there being some effects in the final episode of the show that do look really good and there are some scenes in the shows first episode that do look so good that they could belong in a movie which does make sense as you always want to lead with your best foot forward and the effects in both episode one and episode six are just two examples of episodes that do have some really good looking CGI in them but alot of the time tho this shows effects do look fake almost as if Marvel couldn't decide what they wanted in the scene and so they had the effects do a rush job and very quickly throw something together which never looks good and it doesn't look good here either with it being made painfully obvious when this show does have a bad looking effect because of the fact that the rest of the shows effects really are pretty good.

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

The final three episodes of this show has three plot twists all of which I predicted either earlier on in episode five , the last few moments of episode six or in last weeks post about the first three episode of this show as we finally get the big reveal of Sacha Baron Cohen as Mephisto. With the character here kind of being like a mob boss type of character in that he's willing to give Parker everything that he desires and in this case even the tools to do with the only thing that he wants from him is his soul which is something that does make the character a little bit more interesting then what he really could have been as by all rights this could have been a huge let down for the character especially given the hype that's been built up over the past three years and yet while he doesn't get all that much to do in the shows sixth and final episode with him being more of a behind the scenes kind of character the episode does use him in the right way as they do built up some suspense about who this character is and what he can do with even Riri at first believing him to be Dormammu only for him to laugh it of and say that Dormammu isn't even fit to lick his boots which that right there is more then enough to tell us the audience that this character is one that's not to be messed and while there is more then good chance that he will get messed up as a character the more times that he appears in MCU movies and TV shows in his first appearance the character was handled pretty well with Sacha Baron Cohen even switching between using an American accent when he's trying to seduce people into letting him influence them and straight using a British accent when's mad at them which is a nice little touch and is something that does play to the strengths of Sacha Baron Cohen who can do some really good accents.

The other two plot twists that I predicted would happen are the fact that Natalie "dies" at the end of the shows fifth episode and the fact that Riri agrees to let Mephisto give her some of his power so that he can bring her back at the end of the shows sixth episode. While the very idea of Riri having the power of an evil god inside of her does create some interesting possibilities moving forward with other MCU movies it's also something that does feel out of place given what the whole show was about as the whole show was about learning to come to terms with the death of loved one something that Riri herself had started to do proper oddly enough in the shows sixth episode and yet the makers of this show just undo all of that by revealing that she's now pretty much working with Mephisto because once again she couldn't face the facts that a loved one had died only now it's not the AI version of Natalie that gets brought back it's the real person and the very fact that these plot twists are ones that you can see coming a mile while it doesn't make them bad as these kinds of twists can have worked well enough before in other media it's the fact that the makers of the show sign post that there coming as in episode five they have the character of Zelma Stanton just straight up say that magic comes at a price which right there tells you that one of the characters will die and because it's Marvel you know right away that it's not going to be any of the human characters which only leaves you Natalie a character that was already dead in the first place and due to how it's shown in the sixth episode it's made pretty clear that Riri is going to be working with Mephisto before the episode actually reveals so it makes what should really have been a really cool plot twist seem predictable because of the fact that you already know that it's coming.

Due to this show only being six episodes long and the fact that the entire series was released over the span of two weeks it does mean Parker is left with being a really weak villain. As it takes us all the way until the shows final episode to find out why he's doing what he's doing with us only getting some backstory for the character in the shows fourth episode which at that point is to little to late as we're over the halfway make and by then the characters should be as fully developed as there going to get but for one reason or another the makers of this show waited until the last possible second to give what should have been a really cool and interesting villain some backstory and motive with it being revealed that he's doing all of these crimes because of the fact that he wants money and power which granted is a very generic scheme for a villain to have but given that these MCU live action TV shows are meant to be focusing more on street level heroes it's forgivable but what isn't forgivable is waiting until the show is almost over to give him this backstory and motive as since this is only a six episode show this is something that should have been doing since episode one at the earliest and episode three at the absolute latest as then it gives us the audience more of a reason to hate this character and yet because this character got all of this in the second half of the show it makes him feel like an undercooked villain that was treated more of an afterthought which makes him a character that will very quickly be forgotten about this is despite the fact that show ends with a tease of him coming back to face Riri again somewhere else down the line.

Now then this show really has / had an exact grand total running time of no longer then fifty six minuets. With each episode ranging from as little as thirty nine minuets to as long as fifty six minuets which to be fair to this show is pretty much the norm for these live action MCU shows with this show really having the right amount of plot of there needed to cover that six episode count but at the same time tho it would have helped this show out quite alot if the show had more episodes as then the show would be allowed to use it's running time more wisely be devoting more screen time into developing it's plot since as thigs stand the opening three episodes is basically just the set up with these other three episodes being about the pay off and it's these final three episodes that are actually alot more better then what the first three are because of the fact that they focus alot more on the plot with it being these final three episodes where we get some small character development be it with Riri going from someone who is willing to use people to get what she wants to someone who is willing to use people sometimes to get what she wants or from Parker who thanks to the events of the third episodes takes a nose dive of the sanity board and becomes this full on insane person who is willing to do whatever it takes to get revenge on those that are closest to him and yet none of this development or plot progression is presented in any of the shows first three episodes which makes those episodes feel pointless to watch as they other nothing of value where as with these final three episodes this is where you get the decent stuff in this show but I really will admit that this show really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as 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 this very show 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 show was in all honesty not that bad. With the show having plenty of really done action scene in all of it's six episodes and while this shows action will never be as good as the action that's in Daredevil: Born Again but given the fact that the main character of this show is someone who has to make her own powers we do get some really fun filled action scenes all throughout this show with it being in this shows action scenes where we get to some really good looking effects as well with the best action scene in the whole show being the fight scene at the end of episode as we get to see just what Riri can do when she's not in the suit and while she's not the best hand to hand fighter there is that's something that does make alot of sense as she's only a kid and when you add in the fact that it's in that episode where we see Riri kill someone albeit in self defense it is something that does have long lasting consequences for the rest of the show as well as the person that she kills is Parker's close cousin John which is something that does make the beef between Riri and Parker personal with the fight itself being something that was really done something that is also true for the action in alot of this show as well with alot of the action in this show being very well done and alot more better then what it really had right to be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall whilst the first half of this show might be pretty bad the second half of the show is a little bit more better but that won't matter because of the fact that the first half pf the show was as bad as it was with this hopefully making Disney think twice about releasing whole series of a show in just two weeks as it really is a bad idea with this show being a good example of just how bad of an idea that it is 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 really does mean that this show really does earn itself a grand old score of a exactly a 5.5 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 Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show 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 this very show 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.

Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation Film Review

While the Looney Tunes brand might be going through a really tough time right now there's one piece of Looney Tunes media that doesn't get talked about all that much. That being the Tiny Toon Adventures movie as that show and movie does feature the Looney Tunes in more of a supporting role and yet both this movie and the show are only talked about be people that grew up with them and so then join me as I review the movie that sees the Tiny Toons cast have a summer vacation with the film in question being called simply just "Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation" enjoy.

The plot of this film is one that's quite hard to describe as the film doesn't just have one plot as it has several dozen plots ranging from Plucky joining Hampton and his family on a cross country road trip to Babs and Buster trying to get back to Acme Acres after a prank goes wrong. 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 he actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad as the fact that it has so many plots running through does make it feel more like an episode of the show but at the same time tho there's nothing about this films plot that makes it feel like that it's worthy of being the plot of a film which does make it feel like the plots of this film where just unused plots for episodes of the show only edited together to very loosely form a plot which isn't a bad thing but at the same time tho there still should have been more of an effort put into this films plots as there's only a handful of them that are actually good with the rest of them just being there and not really adding anything to the film itself which makes them feel pointless where as the if they were included in an episode of the show then they would come off as being a bit more better then what they are in this film as they just feel like that they are there so that the makers of the film can include alot more of the shows characters and that's really it with the plot of this film 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 Charlie Adler as Buster Bunny and The Theater Usher and Tress MacNeille as Babs Bunny , Babs' Mother , Big Boo , Emily Duff , Roseanne Barr , Barbara Walters , Hotel Chef , Drive-thru Waitress and Horatio's Girlfriend. Also starring in this film is Gail Matthius as Shirley The Loon and Sissy Boo , Kath Soucie as Fifi La Fume , Li'l Sneezer , Little Boo and Bimbette , Don Messick as Hamton J. Pig and The Radio Announcer , Joe Alaskey as Plucky Duck , Tupelo Toad , Johnny Carson , David Letterman and Elmer Fudd , Maurice LaMarche as Dizzy Devil , Ed McMahon and Arsenio Hall , Frank Welker as Gogo , Furrball , Little Beeper , Byron Basset , Uncle Stinky and Vinnie , Rob Paulsen as Fowlmouth , Johnny Pew , Mr. Hitcher , Banjo Possum , Hotel Manager , Horatio and The Parking Lot Attendant , Cree Summer as Elmyra Duff , Mary Melody and Oprah Winfrey , Candi Milo as Sweetie Pie , Jonathan Winters as Wade Pig and Superman , Edie McClurg as Winnie Pig , Paul Julian as Road Runner and Sorrell Booke as Big Daddy Boo.

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 his film actors turning some really good performances in this film which is something that really does make alot of sense as there all not only a really good bunch of voice actors in their own but are also reprising their roles from the show as well and therefor it does make sense that they would turn in some really good performances in this film as who else would best know these character then the actors that have been playing for quite some time at this point in time with it being really hard to say just who the best actor is in this film as there all so good with all of this films actors bringing something that helps to make there character feel alot like themselves when it would have been super easy for the makers of this film to loose just what it is that really made these character who they are in the first place with this being a case where all of the actors and the crew involved with the film really loving the characters so much that they wanted to do was right by those characters with that being something that really does shine through in the final film 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 have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Telecom Animation Film and Nakamura Production. 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 really good as while the films animation quality isn't feature film worthy by any stretch of the imagination that was never going to be the case as this film was always going be a direct to VHS release and to be fair to this film it's animation was so good because of the fact that the animation for the show was just so good and with this film sharing the same production staff it does make sense that the animation in he film would be good as well and while yes it would have been nice to see this film get a theatrical release as that would mean much more higher quality animation the animation that we have in this film works really well for the film as the characters have always known that there in an animated show and therefor the animators can and do have fun with the kinds of facial expressions and the things that they have the characters do as there not bound by any real world logic which is something that does help to sell this animation and make it as looney and as a zany as it could have been with all of the characters having some really nice fluid movements to them and all of the films backgrounds looking really good with even the character designs for the films guest characters looking like they could fit in with the world of the show.

What is perhaps the films biggest issue is the fact that it does have so many plots going on all at the same time. With it feeling like the makers of this film wanted to get as many of the shows characters into this film regardless of if they needed to be in the film or not as almost all of the characters barring a very small handful either have plots in this movie or appear in speaking roles in this film with pretty much all of them at the very least making a quick cameo all throughout the film whilst this wouldn't be a bad thing if this one of the shows segmented episodes as then you could argue that there just going from one segment to the other with a movie however it nearly always works best if you focus on just a small handful of characters instead of cutting to a different character every few minuets as all that will do is just confuse your audience with this even having he add on effect of making it hard for the audience to care for any of the films plots as the makers of this film don't really give us a reason to care for any of the films plots as they have to cut to the next character to advance there plot lines and while certain fans of the show will be glad to see the character that they like getting some love in this movie that doesn't mean that they needed to be in the film itself with the best cases of this being both Shirley and Fifi as both of there plots would feel more at home in the show as in the film it just feels like that they are there to pad out the films running time this is despite the fact that both characters are some fairly popular characters but even with that mind the shows main villain Montana Max doesn't feature all that much in the film when he very easily could have been the main villain in the Babs and Buster plot line which is something that would have made perfect sense for his character.

This film is a musical which is something that's to be expected from this franchise with the films song being written by one of the films composers Bruce Broughton. While there aren't that many actual songs that are sung by the main cast in this film infact there's only two the two songs that the main characters do actually sing are actually pretty good with the best one being "Waiting For The Clock" which is just all of the shows main characters just begging for the school to strike three o'clock so that they can go home and start summer vacation with the song itself even weaving in a new rendition of the Tiny Toons theme song something which does oddly play a few more times throughout the film as well which given that the maker of this film do like to use different versions of the shows classic theme song in it's episodes and specials does make sense that they would do the same thing here as it makes the kid audience feel like that there watching the characters that they know and love from the show only in a longer format the issue is tho is that there aren't enough songs in this film as that's just how good that the films two songs by the films main characters are and even then the second song is just another version of the shows main theme song which makes you wonder why the makers of this film even bothered to make it a musical as they don't go all out with that aspect of it something that they could have done given the fact that this is a feature length film as then the makers of the film could have had some more catchy songs in this film something that the Animaniacs film "Wakko's Wish" would actually take full advantage off doing.

In what could be seen as being a really good move the maker of this film do have the character of Plucky Duck feature quite alot in this film. Which is something that does work both for and against the film it works for the film in two ways the first of which being outside of Buster and Babs Plucky was one of the shows more popular characters so much so that he did technically get his own spin off show with The Plucky Duck Show which only aired one new episode and just featured repeats of Plucky centric episodes from Tiny Toon Adventures and the second one being that Plucky and Hampton are always going to be comedy gold and having Plucky in a plot with Hampton and his family was always gong to guarantee some really big laughs but here's where it works against the film because Plucky just isn't that interesting of a character inside of the show as all of his is a smaller version of Daffy Duck and that's really it so he can't have that much of personality due to the fact that he's just a smaller version of a more popular cartoon character which makes it weird that the makers of this film would essentially make him one of the leading characters in this film especially since Babs and Buster who are more interesting and funny characters but are also the leads of the show alot of the time as well and are also the characters that people think about the most when they think of this show but to be fair tho this film does give Plucky some really funny scenes in this film which does justify him basically being the co-lead character of this film and while having him take on a bigger role doesn't really hurt the film it is weird considering the fact that he doesn't have much in the way of a personality outside of the fact that he's essentially just a smaller version of Daffy Duck.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and nineteen minuets and forty seven seconds. Which is a pretty solid running time for this film with the film having more then enough plot there to really cover that amount of running time but even so this film really doesn't use that running time all that wisely as it has several dozen plots to fit in and tell and it just can't do that and develop all of them in that short of a running time with this being another case for less equals more as by having lets just say one or two plots lines say for example it's just the Plucky and Hampton plot line as the side plot and for the main plot it's the Babs and Buster plot just by having those two plots alone would more then enough to support an entire movie as you don't need to have as many characters from the show in the movie as all that does is just make them feel like background characters but by just having the two plot lines then it would make that the makers of this film could have developed both plots really well which in turn would help to make this film all the more better then what it already s in the first place with the other thing that this film doesn't do thanks to it's running time is develop it's characters which isn't that big of an issue in this film as we have several dozen episodes of the show for the characters to become fully developed characters but the film doesn't even give it's newer characters much development either with alot of them just being either flat out bad guy or flat out good guy with there being no middle ground but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it 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 this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / featured to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With this film being genuinely quite laugh out loud funny at times which does make alot of sense as alot of the writers from the show did work on this film with the film having alot of the best writers from the show working on it therefor it does make sense that this film would be painfully funny with nearly all of this films jokes working be it from Babs saying to Superman that this isn't his film to anything with either Plucky or Fifi in it bottom line there's going to be alot of jokes in this film with it being quite hard to say just what the best joke is as there all that funny and they all fit in with the character telling it as well but if push comes to shove i've say that the best joke is anything to do Elmya as her plot line of just wanting a cat and doing anything to get it even sneaking out at the zoo is something that her character would do and seeing her just be herself around all of these animals all of which will do quite literally anything to get away from her will always be funny and to be fair the makers of this film do milk all of the scenes in which that plot plays out for all their worth joke wise that being the same thing that's also being true for alot of the side plots as there just there to tell a few jokes and that's it and while they don't really need to be in the film in the first place the fact that the makers knew when to stop them just show that the makers of this film knew when to cut them off with this allowing for the film to tell alot more jokes with nearly all of this films jokes not only working but working really well as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall whilst Wakko's Wish is easily the better made of the two films this one feels more true to the show that it's being spun off from and is alot more funnier then what Wakko's Wish was but in saying that tho this film really does have quite alot of flaws in it which do hold it back from being as good as it really could have been 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 very film really does earn 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 Animaniacs fandom wiki page the official Tiny Toon Adventures 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 review being the really great the official Tiny Toon Adventures 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 you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Tiny Toon Adventures fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
