Descendants: Wicked Wonderland Film Review


It appears as if the Descendants franchise has now become one of those franchises where Disney doesn't even bother to put in the effort to tell you that there's a new film out. As there is a new Descendants film out right now on Disney+ and yet Disney did nothing to tell you that the film was even happening in the first place and well as i've reviewed quite literally all of the Descendants films from the very beginning all the way up to The Quest For Red you all just knew that I had to review this film the first chance that I got and so then join me as I review the film that shows off it's version of Wonderland with the film in question being called simply just "Descendants: Wicked Wonderland" enjoy.

The plot of this film is some time after the events of the previous film Chloe and Red find there friendship tested when they are forced to team up with other villain kids to stop an evil version of The Mad Hatter from taking over Wonderland. 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 average at best. This films plot is at best a very paint by numbers plot as you know full well exactly where this films plot is going to go and what the big dramatic third act moment will be and sure enough it does go exactly where you think that it's going to go. However tho this is something that doe work well enough to the films advantage as the films plot is meant to be this things where you can work out what's going to happen next as alot of the fun and craziness of these films is seeing the off spring from other well known Disney characters with this being something that has always been the main draw of these films and whilst yes the original three films did have more of a focus on plot here with these last two films it does seem as if the focus is shifting to be more seeing the kids of Disney characters then in actually giving the films decent plot and while the previous film had the nostalgia factor working for it this film doesn't have that and therefor the issues with the plot do become a bigger issue as the films plot when it does get some focus is at best thin and not that very well thought out with the plot of this film not really being really rather entertaining and as well as not really being really rather engaging either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Kylie Cantrall as Red , Malia Baker as Chloe Charming and Liamani Segura as Pink. Also starring in this film is Leonardo Nam as Maddox Hatter , Brendon Tremblay as Max Hatter , Alexandro Byrd as Luis Madrigal , Kiara Romero as Hazel Hook , Joel Oulette as Robbie Hood , Zavien Garrett as Felix Facilier , Ryan McEwen as Squirmy Smee , Dayton Paradis as Squeaky Smee , Paolo Montalban as King Charming , Melanie Paxson as Fairy Godmother , Awkwafina as the voice of Chessy Cheshire , Rita Ora as Bridget and Brandy as Cinderella.

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 average at best. This is something that is to be expected at this point as this is still a Disney Channel Original Movie and those don't typically have great acting in hem and yet at the same time this film  acting was alot more better then what you would expect it to be with this being due to the fact that alot of this films actors are reprising their roles not only from the previous films but from other Disney films as well and therefor they would have a good idea on how best to act as there respective characters. With the best actor in this film being Leonardo Nam as Maddox Hatter as it does seem like that he is the only one there that is actually excited to be there as he is having such a blast acting in this film and infact alot of his scenes are the some of the more fun scenes in the film to watch as you never really know just how really over the top that he's going to go with the performance and whereas with every one else you really do get the feeling that they'd rather be anywhere else except making this movie right now you do really get the feeling that he really is genuinely excited to be there and that is something that really does shine through in his final performance. With the acting that's in this very film not really being helped by the fact that this films script isn't that good as this films script doesn't give any of this films actors absolutely anything 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 harm the over all quality of the acting that's in this very film.


Doing the CGIA for this film is Embassy Visual Effects , Image Engine Design , 1.618 VFX , Mr. Wolf , Distillery VFX , Ingenuity Studios , Curated , Hinesight Productions , The Sequence Group and Industrial Light & Magic. 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 average at best. The fact that this films CGI is pretty average is something that is both surprising and at the same time not all that surprising it's not surprising in the sense that this is a Disney Channel Original Movie still and those don't have great looking CGI in them as they don't have the budgets for that but at the same time the fact that they managed to to get ILM to do effects work for this film does make it all the more surprising that the films effects are as OK as they are in the first place. While alot f this films CGI is pretty decent as there are some good looking effects when we get to Wonderland alot more of the films effects are just painful to look at as they are really bad alot of the time which is something that does make sense as this is still a made for TV movie but this is a nig franchise for Disney and yet there still churning out effects that look really bad with there being an almost laughably bad CGI cat in the film with the film being obsessed with showing us CGI filled establishing shots and all of them look bad as they make it look like that the film was made ten years ago. Whilst we do get some decent looking effects in Wonderland like alot of the trails that come off of Bridgit's cards look really good the Maddox's spies look really good when the film does have a bad effect in Wonderland it doesn't cut away from it rather it keeps it on screen for a long while when all this does is just make the effect look even more worse.


The key theme in this film is bonds and the lengths that people will go to to keep them as we see Chloe go to great lengths to keep her friendship strong with Red whilst new character Pink goes to lengths to keep her bond with Red going and Max tries to get a bond going with his father Maddox. This is a goo idea as it is a theme that these films really haven't hit upon before now only due to the fact that the film feels more like a trailer for it's soundtrack it does mean that we have to fit in an overproduced song alot of the time when that time could have been used to better explore those bonds and what it is that they mean to those people as we know full well what Chloe and Red mean to each other thanks to the previous but we don't know that with any of the other characters. With the big third act drama being about as predictable as you think it's going to be with it also not really working due to the fact that the films plot doesn't really leave room for this kind of moment to work and heck the previous film even had a very similar scene in it therefor it makes it pointless for them to have a scene in this film where the same thing happens, whereas if the film did take to the time to fully flesh out this theme and show us what these relationships mean to all of the people then it would have made alot more sense as to why this moment happens in the first place as this is something that would allow for this theme to be fully explored as it is something that none of these films have explored until now with alot them exploring the found family idea and what it means to be a family both of which are good ideas but to see this film tackle a different them is a breath of fresh air even tho it does hugely drop the ball with it, with the only thing that could have fixed this issue is doing a page one rewrite of the films script as the theme itself is so tied into the plot that you can't fix it with just one scene.

This film is a musical with songs written by Michelle Zarlenga ,  Chantry Johnson , Mitch Allan , Antonina Armato , Tim James Price , Thomas Armato Sturges  , Adam Schmalholz , Jordan Powers , Josh Cumbee and Jaheem King Toombs. Even tho this films soundtrack is listed as being a pop album it's not a Disney version of rap and hip hop album wit all of the films songs sounding the exact same with there being nothing in any of the films that makes them stand out from each other heck there's not even a different genre of music it's all just the same bland and safe stuff that Disney can push on to kids with nothing new added to them that makes them stand out with things being made worse when you take into account that the film uses alot of autotune which does make it hard to judge the singing from the films younger actors. With the films only decent and decently sung song being "The Girl I Used to Be" which is a decently written song about two characters looking back on there younger lives fondly remembering who they used to be and how much simpler things where back then when compared to how they are nowadays with the song itself also being the best sung song in the whole entire film which does make sense as the sing is sung by Brandi and Rita Ora both of whom are decent singers that can more then hold a tune with this song being the only song that has no autotune in it and it's not that hard to see why as the two singers are just that good with them more the holding your attention throughout the entire song with this song feeling more like a pop ballad type with all of the other songs feeling like over produced badly done hp hop songs as this song actually does do what it set it to do and that's make you feel something for characters that didn't get alot of screen time in there adult forms in the previous film.


Speaking of the moms they actually get to do alot more in the film this time around whereas in the previous film they were basically there in just the opening and the ending. Here tho they actually play a bigger role in the films plot which was something that was kind of refreshing to see as given the fact that both of them are played by big named stars it would have been understandable if Disney only had them appear at the start and at the end again and then just use them for marketing purposes but no they actually do something with them and while that something mainly has them contained to just the one room with alot of there scenes together being them just acting with other it was still fun to keep on seeing more of them in the film. Much like with the previous film tho there is one character that did get done dirty and if you've seen the previous film then you'll know what character it is as it's the same character and it still makes zero sense as this character would of course want to help out due to the fact that they have a stake in this fight to and yet the film barely features the character with them oddly enough only appearing at the start and the end of the film with this person having a few lines of dialog near the middle of the film of the film which makes there inclusion pointless as there role in the film could have been played by anything other character in the film and it would have made just as much sense, this is something that wouldn't be a bad things if it meant that we got to see more of the friendship between Cinderella and Bridgit as in the previous film we really only saw them as friends when they were young therefor seeing them act as friends as adults would have been interesting but the film doesn't give them a moment where they discuss what it's like being friends with the other when that would have been interesting to see in the film.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty five minuets and twenty eight seconds. This is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for these films with this film struggling to each that as the films has a song play every couple of minuets it seems which to be honest was getting rather frustrating as alot of the songs aren't that good with alot of the song running time being somethin that could have been use to give the films plot alot more more focus with it feeling lie that the makers of this film knew full well that the films plot wasn't that good and therefor they just stuffed the film with songs and hoped that they we wouldn't notice with the film not really having enough plot to cover that amount of running time with the film only having enough plot for about forty minuets with the films songs lasting around thirty eight minuets in total. With the film not really using it's running time all that wisely as the film doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot as the film doesn't take to the time to add things to its plot that make it feel well thought out and while OK fair enough this film is made for little kids ad with little kids in mind there still needs to be some amount of plot development happening with none of the films songs adding anything to the films plot either with it being clear as day that the makers of this film are alot more focused in playing a song every five minuets then they are giving us a well thought out plot. The same thing is also true for the films character development as none of the films characters have a scene where they get to well developed which s fair enough for characters like Red and Chloe where you could make the point that they got there development in the previous film but none of the films new characters get anything interms of character development either with the film being more focused on giving us a forced romance then it is in giving us character development but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to itt ho.


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 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. The film does have some cute funny moments in it and while none of the films jokes are laugh out loud funny there still and attempt in there to give the film some actually funny moments with alot of the films best moments comedy wise coming from new character Hazel Hook as she is a funny character that if they do another one of these films they have to keep her character as she was a breath of fresh air with her sarcastic sense of humor. With the films best joke oddly enough not featuring her character as it instead feature the Smee twins who like there father are bit short up top as when they are told by Hazel to go and climb to see where they are instead of climbing a tree as she had suggested they do they instead start climbing each other which is a pretty cute joke and it is something that there characters would do with alot of the films jokes revolving around how Hazel has to look after them with the only thing that made that funnier was if someone like Pink got in on the act as well as she is a new character in the film therefor it still would have worked for her character to give the Smees orders only for them to mess it up as that is something that would have made her character more entertaining to watch with the rest of the films jokes being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall if you liked the blandness and the nothingness of the previous film then your going to love this film but it is getting more and more clear that this franchise is in need of a shake up as this film does prove that it is running out of steam due to the fact that everything about this film is just so bland 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 a such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images hat I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post 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 really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

The Herbs: Parsley's Tail Review


Even tho Michael Bond is still best known for creating a certain marmalade loving bear he did actually create another show as well. With this show even featuring alot of the same creative team that worked on the Paddington TV series and well I thought that it would be nice to take a look back at the the first episode of the show that perhaps isn't as well known as Paddington and is largely forgotten about so then join me as I review the episode that sees Parsley loose his tail with the episode in question being called simply just "Parsley's Tail" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is after Parsley accidentally scares Sir Basil while trying to tell him something Sir Basil shoots of Parsley's tail and there for he , Lady Rosemary , Bay Leaf and Dill have to try and find it again. 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. This episodes plot does do a really good job of letting you know right away what the tone of the show is all about as it's plot that doesn't take itself to seriously but at the same time is a serious thing for the characters with this being something that does add a layer of charm to the episode itself as this is an episode that on paper shouldn't work as the plot is to childish for it to be taken seriously and yet it's exactly that reasoning as to why the plot of the episode works as well as it does as it does allow you to get sucked into this for a lack of a better word magical world. Whilst yes granted the episodes plot really could have been alot more better then what it is as if i'm being honesty here it's not the strongest of plots in this show but at the same time this episodes plot is still a really good one to start out of on due to the fact that it does allow for all for the characters in the episode to get across just exactly who they are in a way that does feel organic to the episode as alot of them are called in just help out there friend and that's it which is a great way to get the characters set up in a way that helps the plot of the episode with this episodes plot also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Gordon Rollings with the episode and by extension the show as a whole doing what alot of other shows at this time also did by only having one actor play all of the characters. With this being something that does work here as Gordon was an actor and therefore he would have known exactly how to give us a good performance and whilst it is debatable on if he did a good job or not the one thing that can be said is that he does seem like a good fit for this show and episode as he does have a really good voice that makes him all the more likable with this being something that is crucial to make this episode work as if we the audience don't like how the only actor sounds or if he comes across as being to unlikable then the whole thing does risk falling inward. With him even doing the one thing that alot of actors don't do in all of these shows that being the fact that he does give the characters unique sounding voices like when he's playing Sir Basil he gives him more of an upperclass posh kind of voice and when he's playing Bay Leaf he uses more of a thick Yorkshire accent and with Dill he speaks very quickly and finally with Lady Rosemary he gives her more of a gentler sounding voice all of which work really well for these characters as they are the kind of voices that you could picture these characters having if they spoke to you in real life with it also helping to make it easier for us the audience to tell just who is speaking to whom so much so that you very easily could close your eyes and watch the entire episode with your eyes closed and still understand just which character is talking and heck the only character that doesn't speak in the show is Parsley himself and yet you still know when he is talking as the performance for that character is really well handled.

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. The fact that this episode does have good acting in it is something that is still quite surprising as the show itself is one that doesn't really lend itself to having good acting in it and yet still Gordon Rollings does do his best in this episode with him turning in a kind of performance that oddly elevates the show and makes it feel more adult as he doesn't talk down to the audience or go over the top with his performance rather he plays it all straight and that is something that does help to make this episode seem all the more better because of it. With the best actor in this whole entire episode also being the episode only actor Gordon Rollings with him not quite being a breathe of fresh air as both Sir Michael Hordern and Bernard Cribbins are still really good in there respective shows but with Gordon there is more of a focus on the performance aspect whereas with Sir Michael and Bernard Cribbins there is more of a focus on being entertaining neither approach is wrong but it is something that you do notice and with this episode the focus did need to be more on the performance with this being something that did allow Gordon Rollings to really flourish in the episode with hm having charm that really does shine through in his final performance. With the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of him naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.


Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the really greats that were currently over at FilmFair. 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 really good. Given the fact that this episode was the first thing that FilmFair animated in general it is shocking that it turned out as good as it did as they were still finding there feet as a company and while the inhouse look that they would develop with the minimalistic sets and odd looking characters would be perfected in other projects it is nice to see where that look started out in the first place. With the episodes animation being alot more better then what it really had any right to be as by all rights this episodes animation shouldn't look as good as it does and yet it is clear that the makers of this episode did know that they had to start of the episode with strong animation as we do get alot of really fluid movements from all of the characters and the backgrounds do look really good and while yes it would have helped the episode if the backgrounds had a bit more life to them the fact that they don't does oddly work for this episode and it helps to make the episode stand out alot more from other kids TV shows of the time, with even the characters all having really unique looking designs to them like for example the title character Parsley is a green lion which is something that hadn't been done before and hasn't been done since this show and Sir Basil has a big red nose for literally no reason and these designs do help to make the show stand out and be all the more memorable because of it. 


This show and this episode is filled to the brim with whimsy as not only do we have the narrator having to say a special word to enter the shows main location of the herb garden but we also have the fact that Parsley can notice us the audience. Both of these things are very small things in the grand scheme of things but they do help to add a sense of whimsy and charm that would feel out of place in something like for example Postman Pat or Firemen Sam but here it is something that does work as it helps to make everything in the episode feel new and different and heck the fact that there is so much whimsy to be found in just the one episode is something that does make it worth watching as speaking as a currently old person who is closer to forty then thirty when Parsley waves to us in the episode I waved back at him because of the fact that I was caught up in the whimsy of the episode and if i'm almost forty doing that imagine what a kid that's 5 or ten would do if they watched the same episode. Having these more whimsical elements in the episodes doesn't make it bad rather it makes it something that is worth watching with little ones even if it just to remind you of what things where like for when you was a kid as when you are a kid you see whimsy all over the place and gradually over time you see things for as they truly are therefor losing all of the whimsy that you once saw in things well here in this episode the things that are meant to be seem magical are exactly that there magical with this being something the episode does revel in and it is something that does make this episode both alot more sweeter and alot cuter to watch as you never really know just what it is that's coming around the corner next in the episode rather you just know that your going to be seeing something that is going to be leaving you with a big smile on your face.

There is one major issue with the episode and that's the fact that we get alot of the characters main sings in the episode. With the character steeping into frame and stopping the episode just so that they can sing there song which serves as an introduction to them this isn't a bad idea as the songs which are written by a currently unknown person are indeed good songs but to stop the episode each time that they come on in the episode is a bit much and it does make those scenes hard to sit through as nine times out of ten your not really being told anything knew you are just being told the same thing over and over again with the only character who does somewhat change his song is Parsley himself as he does update in the episode to include things about his tail. Out of all of the songs that we get n every episode including this one Parsley's song does have to be the best one as it does some up his character perfectly as we do see that he is a very friendly lion whom isn't the most bravest one out there and while it would have been nice to have all of the songs ore of there own unique sound to them like maybe Dills song can b more inspired by the Beatles and Sir Basil's song could more inspired by classical music for example this is something that would have given all of the episodes songs more of there own unique sound to them as while the makers of this episode do indeed do things like having Dill's song be very fast paced almost to the point where it might as well as not even be there it still does very much sound like all of the other songs in the episode, however to give the episode some credit Gordon Rollings does sing all of the sons not only himself but also really well with him singing each song in character something which couldn't have been an easy job to do and yet he made it look super easy with him going from one characters song right into the next one more often then not in the same scene.


Whilst this show does have alot of mature elements in it especially in the shows third episode here it very much does feel like the bogstandard opening episode. Which is fine as the episode does have alot of things to do and to have more mature things in it would just be asking to much of the episode and yet at the same time one can't help but wonder what this episode would have looked like if they did deal with more mature things as while granted they can't go over the top with it and have characters being killed of for example but what they can do is explain to us the audience why Parsley's tail means so much to him in the first place as outside of his opening song we don't really get to find out why his tail means to much to him. However you can tell that both from a storytelling and directing stand point that there is more of an effort to make this show feel more adult with this no doubt being due to the fact that the series was written by Michael Bond who of course created Paddington Bear as much like he did with that character he did put in more mature themes and idea into not only this episode but the show as a whole which is something that does help to give the show a more timeless look to it as you'll see the show one way as a kid and then years later you'll see the same show differently as an adult with a good example of this being the fact that all of the characters are both named and have there personality traits taken directly from herbs with the characters all getting the trait that is more associated with the herb that they are named after which is something that you'll miss and a kid but pick upon as an adult, from a directing stand point you get shots that wouldn't feel out of place in a live action adult show and while yes there are still these more silly moments in the episode which is to be expected as the show was made with little kids in mind after all but the fact that the makers of this show wen out of there way to have these more adult things in them does show you that they did want to capture and entertain the adult as much as the kid audience.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly thirteen minuets and fifty one seconds. Which is going to be pretty much the bogstandard running time for his show as a whole and to be fair to this episode it is an episode that really did need to be that long due to the fact that it is the first episode of a new show and therefor it does have to cover alot of ground interms of telling us who these character are and giving us a reason to like them as characters and therefor the episode did have to be as long as it was as if not then something would fall inbetween the cracks as it were which is something that isn't that good for the first episode of a new show with the episode itself even having the right amount of plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place. However tho the episode really doesn't use its running time all that wisely as the episode really doesn't take the time to to fully develop its plot with the episodes plot being left feeling more like an afterthought with this being due to the fact that the episodes plot is more better suited to a long episode format and therefor forcing down to fit a smaller running is going to result in the episodes plot feeling undercooked with the makers of this episode being more focused on giving us alot of whimsy then they are in giving us a well developed plot. This is something that does somewhat effect the episodes character development as while the characters in these types of shows never really got any kind of character development in the first place it still would have been nice to see them learn and grow from the mistakes made in this episode and yet none of them are given that chance and none of them are given scenes where they can learn and that can grow as characters with it being made cleat as day the makers of this episode really cared alot more about giving the characters they own introductory songs then they are in giving us character development but I really will admit that this episode 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 episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy tat's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. The best word that could be used to describe this episodes comedy is charming as that's exactly what it is in all the best ways possible and while that might be seen as being a bad thing there is nothing wrong with having a comedy that has charming jokes in it as it does show you that alot of thought and effort did go into making the jokes work which is vert much the case for this episode and t's use of comedy. With the best joke in the whole entire being the dark joke where after he has had his tail blown off by Sir Basil Parsley pretends to get back at him by playing dead an act which he then keeps up when both Lady Rosemary and Dill enter which s quite frankly a really good joke as it des show us that Parsley does have this almost wicked sense of humor him with him willing to make his friends believe that he is dead all because of the fact that one of them who admits that he is a bad shot accidentally blows off his tail thus starting the episodes entire plot in the first place and while a dark joke like that might seem out of place in Paddington as Paddington himself is the type of character who absolutely wouldn't make a joke like that the fact that they have the main character of a kids TV show in the first episode make a joke about being dead and get away with it does make it all the more funnier with the rest of the episodes jokes being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really charming debut episode to this really charming series and while the series is now largely forgotten that shouldn't be the case as the show is a really good and relaxing series with episode being a really good example of just how good that this show could be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really dos mean that this very episode really does earn 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 sued in this very review well then boys and girl 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 post 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 really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Looney Tunes "Tweet Tweet Tweety" Review



When people think of famous cartoon duos one of the duos that nearly alot of people think of is Sylvester and Tweety. With it not really being that hard to see why as the characters are pretty much just Tom And Jerry but instead of it being a cat and a mouse and it's now a cat and a bird and well by happenstance I was watching one of there cartoons the over day and thought that this would make a great review and so join me as I review the cartoon that sees Sylvester get squashed by a tree with the cartoon in question being called simply just "Tweet Tweet Tweety" enjoy.

The plot of this cartoon is Tweety has to try to fend of a hungry Sylvester all the while The Park Ranger is trying to stop Sylvester from eating Tweety. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon 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 cartoon was in all honesty really good. Whilst yes this cartoons plot is really thin this is something that could be the case for alot of the Looney Tunes cartoon as alot of them just have the basic set up and that's really it and to be fair that's all that this cartoon needs it just needs the set up of why these characters are chasing each other. It would be like if people complained that the Tom And Jerry cartoons had little plot it just wouldn't be right as alot of the fun of not only those cartoons but also this cartoon is seeing the characters hurt each other and whilst having a more stronger plot line would always get in the way of that sometimes having a more thinly drawn out plot where you just have the basic set up and nothing more then that works just as well as that then allows for the characters to be there natural fun and charming selves, which is something that a more stronger plot could get in the way off as the cartoon would have to stop the comedy moments to move forward a plot and while characters like Bugs and Daffy for example can get away with having more plot driven cartoons Sylvester and Tweety can't as there whole deal is Sylvester getting hurt in more out landish ways and whilst yes granted this cartoon would work just as well if it did have a more stronger plot as we don't even find out why Sylvester is at the park in the first place it's also something that wasn't needed to make the cartoon work as a whole with the plot of this cartoon also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Starring in this cartoon is the great Mel Blanc as all of the characters altho this time he is joined by another actor who isn't listed on IMDB. With Mel being in more of the cartoon as he voices Sylvester , Tweety and The Park Ranger and yet even knowing that was doing all of the male characters voices barring Elmer Fudd at this time you really can't tell that they are all being played by the actor as all of them do have very distinct voices to them altho to be fair there is a little bit of Yosemite Sam in the voice of The Park Ranger which is something is oddly perfect for that character as the character is meant to have a commanding almost explosive voice to him, there for having a slight Yosemite Sam voice does match with that character and while it would have been great to have another actor in a major role in this cartoon your never going to top what Mel can and does do with these truly iconic characters. The voices for both Sylvester and Tweety work so well as like the voice of The Park Ranger they have voices that fit there characters with Sylvester having a voice that is a little bit more rough round the edges if you will with almost being like a Daffy Duck type of voice even down to both of them spitting but it's a voice that your never going to confuse with Daffy's and with Tweet he has a voice that is a little bit more softer and is more baby like in nature think of it as being like the voice of a baby bird if it was real and you pretty much have Tweety's voice voice down perfectly and while it can be seen as being to cute ad wholesome for some it is a voice that does fit with this character and this is something that Mel Blanc was very good at doing as he always knew just what kind of voice to give his characters and it's a skill that does work in this cartoon.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon 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 cartoon was in all honesty really good. The fact that this cartoon does have some really good actin in it is something that is not really all that surprising as anyone who has seen any one of the classic Looney Tunes shorts will tell you that Mel Blanc was a really good actor and therefor of course he will be good in this cartoon as he originated these characters and gave them each a voice therefor he would of course no how best to perform as each character. It does go without saying as he is the only credited actor in this cartoon but the best actor in this cartoon is quite easily Mel Blanc as even tho the whole cartoon is just him talking to himself all of the time you never really get that impression as alot of the time you are just engaged with his performance as these characters with this being something that does make alot of sense as he did originate these characters and was the only voice of them for decades and yet even so he still does give them alot of energy with it being pretty obvious that he did have alot of fun in making this cartoon and the amount of fun and care that he put into giving the characters life in the first place is still there in this cartoon and that is something that does make his performance in this cartoon all the more fun to watch in the first place with that level of fun and energy being something that really does come through in his final performance. With the acting that's in this very cartoon really being helped by the fact that this cartoons script is just so good that all this cartoons actor has to do is just say the lines as they are they are written and a good performance will come out of him naturally.


Doing the animation for this cartoon is Ken Champin , Arthur Davis , Manuel Perez , Virgil Ross and Harry Love. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon 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 cartoon was in all honesty really good. This is something that is kind of to be expected alot of the Looney Tunes cartoons from this era having some really nice looking animation to them and while characters movements in this cartoon aren't as fluid as they perhaps could have been the animation on the whole was of a really high quality. The thing that really stood out tho from an animation point of view was the backgrounds by Paul Julian as these do look like backgrounds that you'd want to see in a feature length animated film as they look good heck they look better then alot of the backgrounds in todays cartoons as there is some life in these backgrounds and they aren't just bland and generic ones that we see today with all of the background in this cartoon looking like that they could belong in a painting as they just look that good this is not to take away from the rest of the cartoons animation tho as even tho the characters movements aren't as fluid as they could have bee when it comes to animating the cartoons jokes that is where the animation really does work as they get the timing right on all of the jokes with this being something that does make what could have been seen as a being a really fully joke now land hard because of the fact that the makers of this cartoon took the time to animate those extra few seconds that they needed to make it work in the first place.


As was stated at the start of this review this cartoon like alot of the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons are basically just Warner Bros answer to the older Tom And Jerry cartoons. As both cartoon feature a cat chasing a small rodent in this case to eat him and in the case of Tom And Jerry it's either to eat him or to get him out of the house with the smaller rodent getting revenge and outwitting the bigger animal in more funny and cartoonish ways with the only difference being the fact that while this cartoon doesn't really show that much of the violence or at the very least the more violent acts Tom And Jerry would show those acts and yet at the same time even tho you don't get to see the pin hitting Sylvester you know that it's happened. This is something that des make you wonder if MGM knew full well that they were good as well ripping of Tom And Jerry as it is quite obvious once you watch this cartoon that that's what there doing and while they aren't mean about it as they never make fun of Tom And Jerry it is something that once you notice it you can't unsee it and while ripping of Tom And Jerry does make alot of sense as they were quite big characters at the time it also does make you wonder why Warner Bros decided to rip them of instead of thinking up of an original idea as that is something that would have made this cartoon stand out a little bit more and while the cartoon isn't harmed by being a Tom And Jerry ripoff it would have helped all the more of they tried to find a new and creative idea for the Sylvester and Tweety characters as they could have done something like having Tweety being the villain by having his smaller self be a way to trick people into doing what he wants and when he comes up against Sylvester Tweety can't trick up and Sylvester ends up getting his own back in comical ways or they could have had Sylvester trying to sell off Tweety yes it's not a good idea but it is still an original idea.

This cartoon was actually alot more better then what it really cold have been as while the episode does have a rather simple plot. The cartoon isn't held back by that rather it's pushed forward by it as not all cartoons need to have these deep plots as alot of the time they just need to be vehicles for the jokes with that being something that is very much the case with this cartoon as this cartoon is allowed to be all the more fun and funny due to the fact that there less of a focus on plot and more of a focus on comedy and while the cartoon isn't as violent as the typical Tom And Jerry cartoon is heck you might even say that this cartoon is a more kid friendly version of a Tom And Jerry cartoon but it doesn't really need to be that violent it just needs to be funny and that's it. That being said tho there are some bad things to be found in the cartoon like for the example the cartoon never really takes the time to explain why The Park Ranger wants Sylvester to not eat Tweety in the first place which is something that the cartoon really could have explained as that is kind of a key plot point in the episode with the cartoon also never explaining why Sylvester is at the park in the first place it just starts out with him being there and while the cartoon doesn't need to explain why he was there in the first it is something that would have made sense as it could have tied into The Park Ranger as for all we could know Sylvester is there working at the park in the first place both of these are things that the cartoon could have explained with the first one being explained just by having a sign saying don't the birds and the second one could be explained by having Sylvester in a park rangers uniform, while yes granted the cartoon isn't harmed by them not explaining these things as they are small issues that don't harm the cartoon on the whole they are still things that could have been addressed by the makers of this cartoon in the first place as they would have made the cartoon itself be all the more tighter.


To give the cartoon some more credit we do get to see just how far Sylvester is willing to go for his launch. Die too the fact that when he first sees Tweety's egg unhatched he decides to hatch it himself by sitting on it which is a good idea as it does show us that he is willing to go to extreme lengths just to get some breakfast or lunch yet it is the only smart thing that he does in the cartoon with Sylvester not really being the smartest in the episode which fair enough was always going to be the case as it was done in service of the jokes but there still could have been some effort to show being a smart of Wile Coyote was in his first cartoon as that would make his down fall be all the more funny and while he was never the smartest tool in the shed Sylvester never really knows when to give up either. This is somethin that again we see all throughout the cartoon and its something that really does work for the cartoon as it does allot for some pretty fun and unique visuals and while of course we know that he will never eat Tweety the fact that he does so close to doing exactly that several times in this one cartoon alone doe show us the audience that he is a a solid if goofy villain that is perfect for Tweety as of course he'd always want to get away from me and heck thinking on it Tweety is the only character that someone like Sylvester could work with as you can't pair him up with Bugs as Bugs would be demolish him in seconds flat and you can't pair him up with any of the other bigger Looney Tunes characters either as the character just isn't that strong but if you pair him with Tweety that's when you get to this character at his best and that is something that does nearly always result in comedy gold from not only him but Tweety as well as they both get something out of the partnership.

Now then this cartoon has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly seven minuets and two seconds. Which to be fair to this cartoon was pretty much the bogstandard running time for alot of cartoon from around this same time period and to be fair this episode really doesn't need to be that long in the first place as the cartoons plot doesn't really require a longer running time rather it just needs to do the bare minimum and et the characters themselves do the rest ad that is something that this cartoon does to perfectly and the cartoon is alot more better because of it as it allows for the characters to be there usual fun selfs with the cartoon having more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of time in the first place. Yet even taking this into account the cartoon still really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as the cartoon doesn't take the time to fully develop it's plot which granted is something that would have been hard to do without doing a complete rewrite of the cartoons script but it's not impossible as the cartoon could have added things to the plot that might seem small at first like for example maybe Tweety has a mother who flies away at the start of the cartoon and then comes back at the end just to hit Sylvester on the head if she sees him trying to eat her son which it's not much but it still would have been something at the very least but even so it would have been hard to give this cartoon that much plot development without going on the seven minuet run time with it being made clear as day that the makers of this cartoon bout alot more thought and effort into giving us some funny Sylvester visuals then they did a well thought out plot. This is something that does also effect the cartoons character development which is understandable as these cartoon run on sitcom logic where everything is reset at the end of the cartoon and the characters don't get development in the cartoon even if it is just for that one cartoon but it still would have helped if we did get to see the characters get some small amount of character development and yet due to the fact the makers of this film out there focus on quite literally anything else in the cartoon it does mean that neither Tweety nor Sylvester get any kind of character development but I really will admit that this very cartoon 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 cartoon 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 cartoon was in all honesty really good. With the cartoons jokes being really painfully funny and heck the cartoon is worth watching just for the jokes as they are where the cartoon really does shine it's brightest with the makers of the cartoon really making it clear that they took the time to animate the cartoons jokes as well as they could have done and because of that we got alot of funny jokes in this cartoon. With the best joke in the whole cartoon being when Sylvester has Tweety captured in a geyser which is set to go off at any minuet with the cat moving the clock back about twenty minuets in the hopes of catching Tweety with Tweety getting out of it just before Sylvester jumps in after him and move the clock to exactly when it's about to blow with the water elevating Sylvester up into the air and whilst yes fair enough it's not the smartest joke out there but that's exactly why it works so well in the first place as he joke is just so dumb and childlike in nature that you can't help but laugh at it and whilst there are alot of other better written jokes in this cartoon this one doesn't need to be well written to get a laugh it just needs it's dumb set up and that's really it and that is more then enough to make this joke a really good joke in this really funny cartoon with the rest of the cartoons jokes being jut as well as in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall this a cartoon that is really worth watching not only if you love either the Tom Ad Jerry cartoons or the Looney Tunes cartoons or even both for that matter but also if you love cartoons that are actually funny as this is a cartoon that does have alot of really good jokes in it that that make the cartoon all the mor fun 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 this very cartoon in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very cartoon really does earn itself a grand old score 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 tis 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 LooneyTunesWiki . Com , Wikipedia . Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very cartoon that I used in this very post 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 cartoon with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition and there's really only one way to end this review T-T-T-T-THAT'S ALL FOLKS.

Little House On The Prairie 2026 TV Series: Independence SPOILER FILLED Review


Little House On The Prairie has manages to entertain generations of kids for decades as such it wasn't all that surprising when it was announced that there would be a new version of the book coming from Netflix. Well they have now dropped all eight episodes however this review will only be based off of the first episode and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the episode that if it was released on July 4th would have been very aptly named with the episode in question being called simply just "Independence" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is the Ingalls family leave there home , family and friends in the big wood behind them in search of a new life in the town of Independence. 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. The episodes plot was one that whilst it was good it is also one that could have been done alot more better as the plot was really on thin side so much so that it was hard to tell just what the main plot of this episode was even meant to be in the first place. Yet when the episode does get a sort of plot with the family moving out of there old home that is where we see the potential of the series and that is where it very much feels like the original book as and yet the makers of this episode don't really focus on that part of the episode for very long when that is something that they had the time to do and whilst yes the plot of the original pilot film wasn't all that much better it was a damn sight better then the plot in this episode as the pot of that film did very much feel like it was ripping the pages of the book and putting them on screen where as here it does feel like that the makers of this show are trying to fix things that weren't broken when what they should have been doing is focusing on the plot elements that work as those are the things that the people are going to be remembering this episodes plot for and not all of the stuff later on in the episode with the plot of this episode also not really being really rather entertaining and as well as not really being really rather engaging either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Luke Bracey as Charles Ingalls , Crosby Fitzgerald as Caroline Ingalls and Alice Halsey as Laura Ingalls. Also starring in this episode is Skywalker Hughes as Mary Ingalls , Warren Christie as John Edwards , Jocko Sims as Dr. George Tann , Meegwun Fairbrother as William Mitchell , Alyssa Wapanatâhk as White Sun , Wren Zhawenim Gotts as Good Eagle , Barrett Doss as Emily Henderson , Mary Holland as Jemma James , Michael Hough as Eli James , Kowen Cadorath as Caleb , Ryan Robbins as Russell Kind , Cliff Sumter as Hahn and Thosh Collins as Louis.

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 not that bad. This episodes acting is kind of hard t judge as while it is really good it is also the first episode f a new show and will therefor only get better as the show continues but as it pertains to this episode tho the acting is about as good as you can expect from a low quality Netflix show as while all of the episodes actors are in deed trying there best this is a case where there best just isn't good enough with it being clear that the episodes director Sarah Adina Smith was the wrong person to direct this episode as she has no clue on how to get a good performance out of her actors. With the best actor in the whole entire episode being Crosby Fitzgerald as Caroline Ingalls as she does bring a certain charm to the role that does make her scenes all the more fun and sweet to watch with her and Luke Bracey having such good chemistry together that you do end up buying them as this married couple with this being something that is key to making the show as a whole work and heck she even does have a certain feistiness to her that does shine through in her performance in this episode. With the acting that's in this very episode not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so bad as it gives none of this episodes actors anything to work with which is something that really does help to harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode. 


The characters in this episode are very much a mixed bag off affairs as while alot of them are done well others just aren't. As while the main family are handled about as well as could be expected as they are still the same characters only now they have a bit less charm to them as in the original film all of the family where likable people that you wanted to get know more about whereas here in this episode it does seem to the opposite that's true and as while the family members do have moments where they do show kindness and love to each to each other they mostly act cold and distant which is something that would make sense if this episode was filmed first but given that the whole point of this show is to show that family will always be there it is something that needed working on. However tho none of the episodes others characters get any kind of love given to them as at most alot of them just get two scenes to get across what there character is like which is just not enough for them to leave a lasting impact on us the audience as alot of the townsfolk do end up blending into together whereas with the family yes alot of them are just versions of the same character type your not going to confuse say Laura with Mary for example but with alot of the townsfolk it will be the opposite that's true as there is nothing about any of them that makes them stand out and that makes them feel rea which given the fact that the books were based off of the life of Laura herself is something that the makers of this episode really should have done as the books have worked for all of these decades for a reason and if the makers of this episode want this show to be a hit then they should have taken the time to make all of the characters feel like fully thought out characters.

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



Unlike with the original pilot film that just adapted the third book this episode seems to be just taking certain things from that book whilst also adapting things from the other books as well. This is something that does make this episode feel like a mashup of all of the books with none of them really working like for example in the scene where Jack gets swept away in the original pilot film we had narration from Laura saying how he was her best friends and we saw Charles go looking for him right after if happened whereas here none of that happens and therefor when Jack does go missing and Laura is still upset about it it doesn't make sense as we hadn't been given the information on if Jack was her friend or not and therefor him hi coming back to her at the end of the episode doesn't have the same surprise like it did when it happend in the movie. There are small changes like this all through the episode that on paper don't mean much but when you put them together it does add up to something that needed to fixed and right away like for example in the scene where Caroline gets tired from overworking herself in the original film she doesn't injure herself she just gets to weak to carry on with Charles telling her to rest and that she did a good job this does show us that he does care about her so much so that he is willing to do the work himself whereas here in this episode she drops a log on her foot with Charles now being forced to get the Doctor to help her out this is something that might not seem like much but it now says that Caroline is overworking herself not for her family but because of the fact that she's worried that the wolves might attack them and it tells us that Charles doesn't care that much about her as he never tells her that she did a good job he just says that he has to get the doctor to look at her.

There are some things about this episode that do work like for example the town itself does look really good. Even tho we don't spend alot of time in it in this episode we do get a good enough look at it with the town itself looking a typical western town only given the fact that "Independence" is a partially new town everything is nice and clean with the only thing that could have made the own feel more better being if we got to spend more time in it in this episode but given the fact that this episode also had to set up the whole family as well as the plot of the show it does make sense that the episode didn't spend alot of time in the town in this episode as that would have taken attention from where it should have been in this episode that being the family themselves. Speaking of the family we do actually get alot of scenes with them that weren't in the original film like we get a scene with Mary getting a crush on a local boy which was a sweet scene to see and we do get a scene where the sister talk about the things that they miss about there old home with Mary saying that she left her friends behind and Laura saying that she misses the rest of her family which again was a nice scene as it does show show us that this move not only effected them in a positive way as thy do get to see more of the world now but that it also effected them in a negative way as they did have to leave behind people that they miss dearly which is something that does make you wonder if this version of Charles took that into consideration as it is something that the Charles in the original film would have done if there was a similar scene both of these are things that whilst yes they are small things but they also show us that the makers of this episode yes did know would help to make the episode better and while they don't make the episode perfect by any means they up making it look like the episode was more well thought out with the makers of this episode going out of there way it seems to have scenes like these be in the episode itself when they really didn't have to do it at all.


One of the things that was always going to tricky an was something that you could never get around was how they treated the native Indian characters. With them here not really having much of an impact on the episodes plot as they do just appear in a few scenes and that's it but but the episode does show Laura almost going out of her to befriend the girl of an Indian family with her even giving her her doll that she had found and that Caroline has repaired for her which whilst it does come of nothing in this episode it is somethin that could go on to effect the rest of the episodes of this show as the whole third book was based around the Indians wanting there land back and the lengths that they would go to to get it therefor by having the daughter of the main family befriend one of them early on does make you wonder how alot of the scenes later on in this first season would go. We do even get a a bit of a dark backstory with Caroline as she does reveal that she has seen war before at some point in her past with her not willing to face it again when she finds that certain Indians are planning an attack to take back there land which was somethin that was quite shocking and this is where the episode does get to be quite interesting as it's during those moments where you never really no what to expect and therefore the makers of this episode do have to come up with clever and inventive ways to keep us guessing what's going to happen next and with Caroline having this dark past with the Indians it again does raise the question of that will happen at certain points in the rest of the season as we do know that some Indians at first do attack the families home and burn down there barn and while they do befriend them in the end it doesn't change the fact that they did it in the first place with Caroline having this past with them it does make you wonder she is now going to react when these attacks do start happening as it could go either way with her and it would work either way.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty two minuets and fifty four seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show and to be fair this episode really did need t have that amount of running time in order to fully set up it's plot and characters and while the episode does skip over large portions of the book and film it does feel like there is some kind of an effort to be true to the book as the episode doesn't try to say that it's better then the book that inspired it rather it uses it's running time to help to set up this world and make it feel more real and lived in with this being something that does help the episode with the episode having just about the right amount of plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place. Yet even with this long amount of running time the episode still doesn't use its running time all that wisely as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop it's plot which is something that could have been fine if this wasn't the first episode but given the fact that this is the first episode then there should have been scenes that do move either the episodes plot of the plot of this first season forward and make it feel more developed but the makers of this episode seemed to be more focused on making the Ingalls family seem really unlikable alot of the time that they are in giving us a well thought out plot. This is something that does also effect the characters character development as well which is something that is understandable as you could make the point that the character will get there development in later episodes which would be fine if this episode had set any of that up but it doesn't therefor any character development that they will get might not work as the foundations for the characters are rocky in the first place and yet if the makers of this episode had set up what there development will be by how the characters are attacking then it would work but the makers of this episode are more focused on making Laura look like a hunter alot of the time then they are in giving us it's characters character development but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 


So now then as this is a drama that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual drama 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 drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The fact that this episode does gave some really good drama in it is somethin that isn't all that surprising due to the fact that the book themselves more then likely had some really good drama in it and while yes the drama in this episode doesn't work as well as it did in the original film it is something that does still work well enough that you do kind of forgive the episode for alot of it's past mistakes. With the best piece of drama in this episode actually not being that dramatic of a scene rather its the scene where Caroline tells Charles that she can't do any more work because she's pregnant which does work as these two actors are so likable as these characters with it bein somethin that does make you look back in the past scenes with her when she was doing something hard with a new eye as now we know that during the crossing scene that she might have been pregnant with this being something that does add some small replay value to the episode itself and whilst it is something that doesn't make the episode on the while all that great it is something that does leave you with hope for this family and that was something that the original film was great at giving you and it makes it all the more tragic when all that hope ends up lost in later episodes with the rest of the episodes drama being really good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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


Overall look to be fair the original film and the subsequent TV series will always be the better adaptation this episode does get this new series off to a flawed but still solid start and while yes the episode does have it's fair share of teething issues the same thing can also be said for alot of first episodes and is not something that's exclusive to this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 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 IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post 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 really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
