The Prince And The Pauper 1990 Short Film Review

 


Disney has alot of really famous characters from Goofy to Donald Duck to Minnie Mouse but none are more famous then Mickey Mouse. With the character having basically carried Walt Disney Pictures of his back for what must be close to one hundred years by now and well then in 1990 the studio released a short film featuring it's world famous mouse and so then join me as I review the film that basically has two Mickey Mouse's with the film in question being called simply just "The Prince And The Pauper" enjoy.

The plot of this film is a down his luck beggar finds out that the prince looks exactly like him and the prince gets the idea for the two to switch but when an evil Captain of the guard gets wind of the plan it's to the duo to save the kingdom for once and for all. 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 with this films plot being kind of cheesy but at the same time it was also a very enjoyable plot to see playout in this very film as well in me freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Wayne Allwine as Mickey Mouse and The Prince and Bill Farmer as Goofy / Horace Horsecollar / Weasel 1 and Pluto. Also starring in this film is Arthur Burghardt as Captain Pete , Tony Anselmo as Donald Duck , Charlie Adler as Weasel 2 & Weasel 3 / Pig Driver / Peasant and Man In Street , Frank Welker as Archbishop and The King , Elvia Allman as Clarabelle Cow , Tim Eyster as Kid 1 , Rocky Krakoff as Kid 2 and Roy Dotrice as This Films Narrator.

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 not that bad. With all of the actors that you expect to deliver a good performance doing just that however there were a few characters like The Archbishop that had voiced that just didn't match the character design and Bill Farmer just doesn't do that good of a job as Pluto.



Doing the actual animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Walt Disney Feature Animation and The Baer Animation Company. 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 heck i'd even go as far as to say that this films animation was feature film worthy because that's how good that the animation that we get in this film well and truly is.


This film is of course an adaptation of the 1881 novel of the same name by author Mark Twain and well to be blunt this film Disneyfied the original source material. Since the original book has a lot of dark moments with both the titular prince and pauper getting beaten and abused by the paupers father several times and the film whilst having some of the books commentary on the English judicial system and class it doesn't go as far as it could have gone to really hit home just how awful Mickey's life is prior to meeting the prince.

On the flip side of this we do get to see how awful the Prince thinks that his life and so we do get to see why he would want to switch lives with Mickey. However in order for this story to work you need to understand both characters reasons for wanting to switch just giving us one characters reason and then having that character force Mickey into going along with this scheme ultimately doesn't do justice to either the story or either of the characters.


To me Pete seemed like a really decent villain in this film since he was rather threatening and he does have a somewhat clear end goal in mind. However what let's the character down is the fact that he's not really evil enough yes this is Disney so the character can't be to evil otherwise you risk making parents and little kids angry but since he's the main villain of the film I wanted to see him be alot more evil then what he already is since in the end that would make us root for the heroes alot more and would make us want to see Pete get defeated all the more.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and twenty six seconds. Which I will very much admit is the absolutely perfect running time for this film to have since this film really doesn't all that much there interms of plot to make it a feature length film which is a sham because I would have loved it if Disney did an animated version of this song but as a feature length film since the story itself is a very fairly solid story that is more then strong enough to support a full length feature length Disney animated film.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With this film being genuinely quite funny at times with alot of this films jokes feeling like jokes that we'd have seen in early Disney films and not like jokes that we're getting in today's Disney animated films. 


Overall this film is a decent little short film and it's a film that I can see alot of little kids enjoying since it has all of the characters that they enjoy doing all of the things that you'd expect them to do in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

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

Doctor Who: The Time Of The Doctor Review

 


Doctor Who fans there are always two types of Doctor Who episodes that are always going to be hard and those are regeneration episodes and post regeneration episodes. Since with regeneration episodes you have to make it feel epic and yet at the same time small and personal and with post regeneration episodes you have to make the show feel both new and old at the exact same time and so then join me as I review the episode that saw actor Matt Smith leave the show for good with the episode in question being called simply just "The Time Of The Doctor" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when a message is spread across time and space The Doctor goes to a mysterious planet to defend it from all of his greatest enemies. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes plotline doing a decent job of wrapping literally every single plotline that was present in the Eleventh Doctor's era as well as telling a genuinely good and a rather emotional story in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is Matt Smith as The Doctor , Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald and Orla Brady as Tasha Lem. Also starring in this episode is James Buller as Clara's Dad , Elizabeth Rider as Linda , Sheila Reid as Clara's Gran , Mark Brighton as Colonel Albero , Rob Jarvis as Abramal , Only Fools & Horses legend Tessa Peake-Jones as Marta , Jack Hollington as Barnable , Sonita Henry as Colonel Meme , Kayvan Novak as The Voice Of Handles , Dan Starkey As The Sontarans and Nicholas Briggs as The Voice Of The Cybermen and The Voice Of The Daleks.


Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us  in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With both of the shows main cast turning in some really good performances with both Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman turning in an absolute master class in acting and this episodes guest cast don't let the side down either with thee performances more then holding up to both that of Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman.



Doing the CGI in this episode is of course the legends and the greats that are over at Milk and Real SFX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI 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 CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with there being a few decent effects in this episode but at the same time you do also get a fair amount of bad looking effects as well.


As a regeneration episode i'd say that this episode is perhaps one of the more better ones since it really does feel like an ending. With The Doctor now being forced to do the one thing that he's never done and that's stay in one place and because of that we do get to see what this version of the character can be like since we see him get angry at the TARDIS for taking to long coming back to him and we get to see just what this character is like when he's been all on his own albeit with a whole village to look after and protect.

What really let this episode down for me personally is the fact that all of the villains in this episode seem wasted. Since alot of them just appear in one montage and nothing more then that heck we don't even get to see any of these villainous characters team up which seems like a huge waste since it would be cool to see what these villains are like when they team up to take on The Doctor instead of doing it  on a one by one basis.  


Interms of the actual regeneration itself I actually really did like this regeneration since it really did do a good job of showing us the relationship between The Doctor and Clara. Which is something that helped make this regeneration alot more emotional that what it already is since we know how Clara and The Doctor would react in this situation and when you add in the fact that we get a cameo from Amy Pond who is perhaps the most well known companion for this version of The Doctor it really does make the whole thing feel like an ending which is something that really do indeed want from a regeneration episode.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fifty nine seconds. I will admit that this episodes running time is both it's biggest strength and it's biggest weakness since giving this episode an extra long running time makes the episode feel all the more epic and special and yet at the exact same time this episode doesn't really explain things all that well with the character of Tasha Lem being the biggest victim of this since we don't really get to find out anything about her which wouldn't be a problem if she was a minor character but she's a major character and yet we're not given a reason to care for her I also didn't like the fact that Clara fell for the same trick twice since it made her look pretty dumb but that's neither here nor there really.


Soo now then since this is an action filled episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action 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 action that's actually featured / presented to us  in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episodes climax having some really good action which is very exciting but that's a given that we're seeing a bunch of Daleks attacking this one village all the while The Doctor himself is struggling with his own issues and yet when he does get his new regeneration cycle he does alot of damage to the Daleks with what I think is regeneration energy and that will always be really freaking cool as all heck.


Overall this was a great regeneration with this episode doing a good job of wrapping all of the plotline from the Matt Smith era altho I would have liked it we got to see some characters from the Matt Smith era which would make it really feel like an ending for me 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 means that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

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

Batman "Cat Scratch Fever" Review

 


Batman fans it's been almost one year since I last did a review of an episode of the classic Batman: The Animated Series. Well I thought that i'd end that right now and without even knowing that this would be the case both this episode and the last episode of this show that I reviewed "Christmas With Joker" both seem to gave a winter setting and so then join me as I review that sees Catwoman return with the episode in question being called simply just "Cat Scratch Fever" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when he cat Isis goes missing a recently released and on probation Selina Kyle goes looking for her but both she and Batman discover something that's far more sinister going on. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with this episodes plot being very well told and being a very strong plot in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


Starring in this episode is the late and the great Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Efrem Zimbalist Jr. as Alfred Pennyworth. Also starring in this episode is Ed Asner as Roland Daggett , Adrienne Barbeau as Selina Kyle / Catwoman , Virginia Capers as The Judge , Denny Dillon as Jessy , Mary McDonald Lewis as Maven , Danny Mann as A Radio DJ , Ingrid Oliu as Renée Montoya , Brock Peters as Lucius Fox , voice acting legend and Scooby-Doo legend Frank Welker as Isis and Treat Williams as Milo.

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 given who is starring in this episode that really isn't a surprise since all of this films cast members are some really good actors and just simply are the voices of their respective characters for a generation of fans and viewers.



Doing the actual animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at AKOM Production. 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 a very mixed bag of affairs since there are quite alot of animation errors in this episode which is sadly a very common thing for alot of AKOM Productions work but when they do produce some animation we do get some great looking animation and some very great looking scenes in this very episode.


What I really liked about this episode is seeing Batman and Catwoman teaming up since this is something that I don't think is seen all that much in this show. Which makes all the more special when these two characters do infact teams up and the fact that Batman has to try and save Selina's life which just goes to show that Batman cares for Selina Kyle and doesn't see her as a villain and nothing more then that.

This episode does get away with quite alot of swearing with the character of Jessy using words that sound alot like swear words. Heck I even had to rewind the episode more then a few times just to make sure I had heard what I thought that i'd heard and it makes me wonder just how these words and phrases made it past the censor espically since the character has a thick accent as well so it made those words sounds alot like swear words which I will admit did add to my overall enjoyment of the actual episode itself. 


It's not all good tho as I didn't like the fact that this episode ended with Catwoman finding her cat Isis since to me it would have made her a much more interesting character if we saw her trying to cope with her cat not being there. Altho I will admit that seeing her trying to be a good guy was an interesting angle to take with the character and while this show would do this angle again only better and with the The Penguin it's nice to see them try it out but with other Batman villains as well.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and seventeen seconds. Which really was an incredibly short amount of running time to give to an episode like this one since you very easily could have stretched this entire episode up to at the very least forty minuets heck you could have made this episode a two part episode which in the  end would have helped the episode more then hurt the episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode 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 episode was in all honesty not that bad. With this episode having some really good action however it's not the best action that this series has had or will have since even tho this episodes action is pretty cool it's also just very bland looking to look at as well.


Overall this is a rather band from a rather extra-ordinary show but even so this is still a pretty good episode it's just one that is quite clearly not one of this shows more better episodes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well  then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from the actual film that I personally used in this very review being the official Batman: The Animated Series fandom page simply because all of the images that are from this actual / very film and that I personally found that are currently up and on Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page are all very really fairly high in quality and as well as being very really fairly high definition.

My First Impressions Of The Willow TV Series

 


Disney fans for some strange reason film companies seem to obsessed with giving classic movies TV show continuations. Well now we have another movie that's been given it's very own TV show continuation with this one containing some of the creative team and cast members from the film that it's based of off and so then join me as I give you my first impressions of the TV show that brings the great Warwick Davis back in a rather iconic role with the TV show in question being called simply just "Willow" enjoy.

The plot of this show is a new evil force is threatening to destroy the world and it's up to a bunch of brave misfits to defeat this new evil before it's far to late. 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 altho this shows plot does feel like the stereotypical fantasy plot and nothing more then since it is a very generic plotline to have that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is Warwick Davis as Willow Ufgood , Ellie Bamber as Dove and Ruby Cruz as Kit Tanthalos. Also starring in this show is Erin Kellyman as Jade Claymore , Tony Revolori as Graydon Hastur , Amar Chadha-Patel as Thraxus Boorman , Dempsey Bryk as Airk Tanthalos , Joanne Whalley as Queen Sorsha , Graham Hughes as Silas , Ralph Ineson as Commander Ballantine and Annabelle Davis as Mims Ufgood.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these firs two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With all of the cast from these first two episodes doing their best but what let's them down is the script which gives all of the actors including Warwick Davis absolutely nothing to work with interms of what their characters personality is and what there characters are even meant to be like as well.



Doing the CGI for these first two episodes and quite possibly the whole entire show is ReelEye Company. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that he actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty pretty bad with all of the CGI that we see in these first two episodes looking really cheaply made and just fake as all heck.



I'm going to be honesty i've not seen the film version of Willow all the way through but even I can tell that this show is just not that good. Since from what little I did see of Willow I got the feeling that the people involved with making the film wanted to make a truly great film where as with this show I get the feeling that Disney and Lucasfilm just wanted to use the Willow IP and nothing more then that and as such this show comes across as being nothing more then a cash grab since it has alot of the iconography but it doesn't understand what it was made all of those things from the film really so iconic in the first place.

Without giving anything away they do something with the character of Dove which while it's not a bad idea. What lets this idea down is the fact that they did the big reveal far to early in this show's existence and so any and all emotional weight that this reveal could have had is now lost because we don't know this character and as such a reveal as big as what this one is should have been saved until the final episode or the second to final episode of the show just to make the big reveal all that more impactful and meaningful. 


This show just looks cheap I don't know just how much it cost them to make this show nor do I know just what this shows budget even was. You quite clearly can't see where the money for the show went now if you compare that to the movie you see where the money was on screen and that just goes to show you just how cheap looking this show is because everything from the sets to the production design just looks like a cheaper version of The Lord Of The Rings Of Power which isn't a good thing because that show looked like a cheaply show that's airing on the The CW.

Now this shows first two episodes have / had an exact grand total running time of roughly one hour and forty minuets. So you can watch both episodes in well under two hours however both episodes episode one especially don't need to be that long and what makes things even worse is that for a large portion of episode one we are stuck with these new characters that aren't giving us the audience any reason to like them and it it takes nearly the entire first episode for Willow to first appear in the episode which for a franchise that's named after him just isn't that good of a thing at all.


So now then since this an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad. Since we do get alot of cool looking action in this shows first two episodes however the issue is that you just don't care about the characters and so you have no reason to want to see them come out of there various action sequences alive and well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this show might please some people but at the same time I can also see this show making alot of fans of the film angry since it just doesn't do the movie any kind of justice whatsoever in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these first two episodes in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if i'm still watching this show when this shows final episodes airs or is released then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well but s far it's not of to good start at all.

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

Taz-Mania "The Dog The Turtle Story" Review

 


Looney Tunes for as long as the Looney Tunes brand has been going there have been various spin off media featuring popular Looney Tunes characters. With one of their most popular character Taz getting his very own spin off TV show in the nineties and so join me as I review the very first episode of the TV shoe Taz-Mania with the episode in question being called simply just "The Dog The Turtle Story" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is one day Taz finds a turtle that barks like a dog and must hide it from his family. 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 rather weak with this episodes plot practically being very none existent.


Starring in this episode is voice acting legend Jim Cummings as Taz and voice acting legend Rob Paulsen as Dog The Turtle and Axl Gator. Also starring in this episode is the original Gomez Addams and the father of The Lord Of The Rings star Sean Astin John Astin as Bull Gator , Miriam Flynn as Jean , Debi Derryberry as Jake , Kellie Martin as Molly and voice acting legend Maurice LaMarche as Hugh.

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. Since the actors that you wxpect great performances from really do deliver on that front in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Wang Film Productions Company. 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 average at best since the characters movements weren't that fluid and the backgrounds just looked rather dull and uninteresting not to mention very flat looking as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


For those of you that perhaps don't know this show aired on Fox Kids from September 7th 1991 and finished airing on May 22nd 1995. With the show having sixty five episodes with each of those episodes being split up into segments totalling a whopping 121 segments with this episode being I think the only episode of the show to tell one full story across a twenty minute running time.

This episode really didn't need to tell it's story as one full twenty episode since all it's doing is setting up the status quo for the series and that's it. Which really could have been done in the standerd elevent or ten minuet segment since there really was no need for this one story to last as long as it did heck even Taz's family don't get across there personalities all that well with the samethibg also being said for the side characters as well and that is something that should have been with this longer running time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


I will admit that Dog turtle thing is kind of cute but just like with alot of this episode there's nothing Looney about it. The same thing can also rather shockingly be said for Taz who seems like a much more watered down version of the character since even tho he still acts like himself he's lost a bit of what it was that made him actually Looney in the first place.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty minuets and thirty nine seconds. Which yeah as I've just said this episode really didn't need to be that long at all since you very easily could have told this episodes storyline in eleven or ten minuets and by stretching this story to twenty minutes your making an already thinly drawn out storyline seem even thinner that what it already is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Since a few of this episodes jokes did get a chuckle out of me but this episode has alot more bad jokes then good jokes.


Overall this episode wasn't as good as it perhaps could have been which is a shame because the freaking of Animaniacs Tom Ruegger developed this show and all we got was this terrible first episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 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 Looney Tunes fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

The Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special Special SPOILER FILLED Review

 


Marvel fans to say that the MCU has been struggling with it's Phase Four would be a huge understatement. However there is one little nugget of gold to come from this Phase and that's the very special that i'm about to review for you all right here today and so then Marvel fans and none Marvel fans alike join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the special tat introduces a legendary actors to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the special in question being called simply just "The Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special" enjoy.

The plot of this special is mantis and Drax embark on a quest to get Peter the best present that they could possibly even think of. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special 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 special was in all honesty just as crazy and just as bonkers and bizarre as you'd want from a Guardians Of The Galaxy christmas and holiday special in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this very special is Chris Pratt as Peter Quill / Star-Lord and Sean Gunn as Kraglin Obfonteri. Also starring in this special is Pom Klementieff as Mantis , Dave Bautista as Drax The Destroyer , Karen Gillan as Nebula , Bradley Cooper as The Voice Of Rocket Raccoon , Borat Subsequent Moviefilm breakout star Maria Bakalova as The Voice Of Cosmo , Vin Diesel as The Voice Of Groot and Kevin Bacon as Himself.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special 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 special was in all honesty really good. With both Pom Klementieff and Dave Bautista turning in some really very funny performances as their very own respective characters in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 



Doing thee CGI for this special is Crafty Apes , Framestore , Gradient FX , Industrial Light & Magic , Legacy Effects , Perception , Rodeo FX and Sony Pictures Imageworks. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special 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 special was in all honesty not that bad altho truth be told there really wasn't that much CGI in this special but what little CGI we did get looked really good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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




This special takes place sometime after the events of Avengers: Endgame with Peter Quill still not being able to find the version of Gamora that we saw in Avengers: Endgame. I have to admit that having Peter Quill not being able to find this new version of Gamora being the reason as to why Drax and Mantis want to get him the perfect Christmas present was a sweet angle to go with as it not only adds to Peter's journey of learning to cope with his grief of first loosing Gamora and then finding out that there's a version Gamora out there but from an earlier point in her timeline and it also goes to show just how much of a family the Guardians Of The Galaxy team actually really are in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Speaking of family we also find out that Peter Quill has a sister something which was actually spoiled by Disney themselves in a now since removed segment from one of the latest episodes of Marvel Legends. With that sister being none other then Mantis which i'm in two minds about since on the one hand it is an interesting way to take booth of these characters and yet at the same time Marvel have said that don't consider delated scenes to be canon and yet here they are making a delated scene canon which is just really stupid in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


The trailer for this special made it sound like that the whole special was going to be Mantis and Drax just trying to convince Kevin Bacon to come with them. Well that is sadly not the case which is a shame because that's the most entertaing part of the special since there's so much comedy that could be milked from these two weird people wondering around what I assume is Los Angeles and yet this special just doesn't take full advantage of that set up or of that setting either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty one minuets and fifty six seconds. Which for a special like this one which is so strange and so weird and bizarre and yet at the same so heartwarming is just the absolutely perfect amount of time for this special to last and it really does help that this special had this running time as it then meant that we could see more of Yondu this time in animated for and voiced by Michael Rooker as he also goes through Christmas with a much more younger Peter Quill and that is something that might have been cut out of this special if this special had a much more short running time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


So now then since there is some action in this very special that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special 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 special was in all honesty really good. Since we got to see what Mantis can do when she's in a fight which I don't think is something that we've seen up until now but I might be wrong tho but either way it was really cool seeing her fight in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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


Overall for me this special was alot better then Werewolf By Night was simply because of the fact that this special was fun and told a genuinely good story which is something that Werewolf By Night just didn't do 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 special in this very review and as such that means that this very special erns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Disney fandom wiki page , the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this very / particular / exact film being obviously the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page since alot of the images that are from this film and that are currently still indeed up on the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Wednesday TV Series SPOILER FILLED TV Series Review

 


Fans of The Addams Family if you'll very gladly recall yesterday I said that i'd hopefully be writing a full series review of the new series to use the The Addams Family IP. Well i'm a man of my word and i've just finished watching the final episode of this pretty good show and so then join me as I give you all my SPOILER FILLED review of the show that really puts a member of the The Addams Family to centre stage with the show in question being called simply just "Wednesday" enjoy.

The plot of this show is after being kicked out of another school Wednesday is forced to go to the same school that her parents went to and while there she discovers a mystery which involves her parents and her. 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 show was in all honesty pretty good altho it still doesn't make any sense to me why Wednesday is solving a murder when she'd be helping commit the murders in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams and Gwendoline Christie as Larissa Weems. Also starring in this show is Riki Lindhome as Dr. Valerie Kinbott , Jamie McShane as Sheriff Donovan Galpin , Hunter Doohan as Tyler Galpin , Percy Hynes White as Xavier Thorpe , Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair , Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay , Georgie Farmer as Ajax Petropolus , Naomi J. Ogawa as Yoko Tanaka , Christina Ricci as Marylin Thornhill , Moosa Mostafa as Eugene Otinger , Tommie Earl Jenkins as Mayor Walker , Iman Marson as Lucas Walker , William Houston as Joseph Crackstone , Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo as Deputy Santiago , Oliver Watson as Kent , Calum Ross as Rowan Laslow , Johnna Dias Watson as Divina , Murray McArthur as Fabian , Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams , Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester , Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams , George Burcea as Lurch , Victor Dorobantu as Thing and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. With all of the kid actors barring Jenna Ortega and maybe Emma Myers all turning in fairly bad performances but all of the adult actors all turn in some really good performances in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Doing the CGI for this show is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Rocket Science VFX. 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 CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty pretty decent for the most part altho this show does also really have it's own fair share of some really freaking bad looking CGI effects in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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



For a show that's based of off The Addams Family IP very few members of the titular family actually appear in this show. With Gomez , Morticia and Pugsley each appearing in two episodes and Uncle Fester appearing in just one this is for me a big issue because half of the fun of this franchise is seeing how these "weird" characters interact with each other and yet for some reason the makers of this show thought that it was a good idea to keep all of the family separated from each other for large portions of the show and it just doesn't work the well at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

One of the things that I really hated about this shows fifth episode is the fact that it tries to frame both Gomez and Morticia as killers. This just isn't who The Addams Family are as they'd scare you but they'd never ever hurt you and the very fact that the makers of this show even thought about trying to make Gomez an Morticia killers when that's just not who they are just goes to show that they just didn't understand those two characters in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Since this is a mystery show I now have to talk about the actual mystery which in all honesty isn't that good. Since the reveal that Christina Ricci's character is the one behind everything that's been going on in the show just doesn't make sense as this was something that wasn't even hinted at since this show really gives you no clues as to who the person behind this whole mystery even is which for a mystery you absolutely need really do need to give your audience some clues just so that they can work it out for themselves in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this whole show has / had a grand total running time of exactly roughly eight hours but don't hold me to that. With each episode being near enough one hour in length which is something that I really did like as I had such a great time watching all of the episodes even episode five which really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things heck i'd say that episode five is the only episode that i'd say is a filler episode and as such you can skip this episode and not really miss a single thing about this show plot wise in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


So now then since this is a comedy that mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy 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 comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. With this show having some genuinely funny jokes but at the exact time this show also has quite alot of bad jokes as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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


Overall this show was a really good show and it's one that I think that alot of fans of The Addams Family will really like however this show does also have alot of faults 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 show in this very review and as such that means that this very show erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

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