Superman: The Animated Series "Fun And Games" Review

 


To many when they think of the DCAU (DC Animated Universe) they only think of Batman: The Animated Series. However alot of them just straight up forget or just don;t know that another superhero also had his very own superhero animated show from the exact same tam behind Batman: The Animated Series and so then join me as I review the episode that gives a classic villain a very creepy design with the episode in question being called simply just "Fun And Games" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when a mob boss and Lois Lane is kidnapped by an unknown villain it's up to Superman to save the day 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 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 was in all honesty not that bad with this episodes plot being a really fun plot and was really entertaining and engaging as well ad when it needs to be it can quite a heartbreaking and fun filled plot as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Tim Daly as Kal-El / Clark Kent / Superman , Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm star Dana Delany as Lois Lane and Back To The Future: The Animated Series star David Kaufman as Jimmy Olsen. Also starring in this episode is Bud Cort as Winslow P. Schott Jr. / Toyman , Bruce Weitz as Bruno Mannheim , Joe Nipote as Spider Spinelli , Kevin Michael Richardson as A Cop and A Thug and Joe Lala as A Electrician.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With all of this episodes cast members turning in some really good performances which given that alot of this episodes cast members have become to many the voices of these characters isn't all that surprising at all.



Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at TMS-Kyokuichi Corporation. 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 and was really alot better then what I remember it being and was more then up to the high standerd set by Batman: The Animated Series.



I'm just going to say the design for Toyman is really creepy and could very easily pass for being the design for a new slasher horror villain. There's just something about the characters creepy plastic smile that is just very of putting and it's something that really does work well for this character as the character loves his toys and he loves making toys and so having him look like an actual toy is oddly fitting for his character and seeing how everything that he uses is toy like just goes to show you just how creative the makers of this show were and still are.

If Batman: The Animated Series was more of a noir crime and mystery show that just so happens to be a superhero show then this show and this episode is a straight up superhero show. Which is something that works well enough for the character of Superman but at the same time with Clark Kent being a reporter I would have preferred it if the how had more of a mystery element to it as in this episode we the audience become ahead of Clark interms of what he knows and so all the mystery gets sucked out of it and that's something that really shouldn't be the case as it does make for compelling TV as now we're just left waiting for him to catch up with what we already know.


Lois in this episode really doesn't do all that much as they start a subplot with her and Clark trying to get a story written quicker but then they drop it for no reason. Then the character gets kidnapped and instead of using Superman's hearing ability to help locate both her and the villain she just sits there in a cute looking doll costume with Lois in this episode just being inserted into the main plot for no reason whatsoever which is a shame because her character does work but she really didn't need to be in the main plot of this episode.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and sixteen seconds. Which for this episode is a great running time to have as this episode really doesn't really have alot their interms of either plot or story to cover that long of a running time but at the same time I feel that if this episode did have a slightly longer running time then it could have fleshed out the character of Toyman a bit more just so they could make him a more three dimensional character but I will admit that this episode does have some really good pacing to it tho.


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. However it's clearly not as good as it perhaps could have been as it's just not as fun and creative as it really should have been in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really fun filled that had alot of really good jokes in it but at the same time it felt really tame and wasn't really up to the high standards that this creative team have set for themselves 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 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 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 used in this very review the official DC Animated fandom wiki page , the official DC Database 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 really fairly freaking high in definition.

Batman "Harlequinade" Review

 


I've been reviewing episodes of Batman: the Animated Series for a while and all of the episodes that i've covered have been very serious episodes. Well i've finally found that's a bit more comedic in tone which is very fitting given the episodes main character and it might also be the inspiration for the Batman And Harley Quinn movie as well and so then join me as I review that really is alot funnier then what it really had any right to be with the episode in question being called simply just "Harlequinade" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when The Joker decides to blow up Gotham using a nuclear bomb Batman and Robin have to team with Harley Quinn to find out where The Joker is hiding out. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very review 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 and was also really entertaining and engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is the late Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Loren Lester as Richard Grayson / Robin. Also starring in this episode is Bob Hastings as Commissioner Gordon , The Twilight Zone star Lloyd Bochner as Mayor Hamilton Hill, Star Wars and voice acting legend Mark Hamill as The Joker , Arleen Sorkin as Harleen Quinzel / Harley Quinn , Dick Miller as Boxy Bennett and Neil Ross as The Dealer.

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 he actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which for this show isn't all that surprising but what is surprising is the fact that Kevin Conroy can pull a more comedic Batman as well as the more serious version of his Batman and still turn in a really good peformance.



Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Dong Yang Animation Co., LTD.. 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 which again for this show really isn't all that new with the characters having some really nice and fluid movements to them and the backgrounds looking really great as well.



As I said at the start of this review this episode is alot more comedic then previous episodes of this show. Alot of that comes down to the fact that we are seeing Batman and Robin teaming up with Harley Quinn which gives us a great dynamic as we get to see both Batman and Robin play the straight man to Harley Quinn's funny man and that is something that works as it allows our heroes to be their usual selves and it allows the episode to really get alot more comedy just out of it's set up and it's premise alone.

While this is a really good episode there are some things that I really didn't like in this episode like the fact that Harley sings a song which is a funny song but it adds nothing to the overall plot of the episode. I also didn't like that this films more comedic tone clashes with the seriousness of The Joker's plan to kill to millions of people and as such I really do think that the makers of this show should have just stuck with one tone instead of having two that clash which only serves to create tonal whiplash for us the audince. 


This episode does show us something that I really did love and that's the fact that we get to see Harley Quinn herself go to some really dark places mentally. With the character even threatening to and almost killing The Joker with her only being stopped by the fact that she was using a fake gun but it's just that one action alone that goes to show you that the Harley Quinn who has a PHD and was a good person is still in their and will only come out when she's pushed to her limits and heck even seeing her realise that The Joker might not be good for her is a pretty dark and heartbreaking scene.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and thirteen seconds. Which for an episode that's as comedic as this one is is the perfect amount of running time to have but I will admit that this episode doesn't have alot their interms of either plot and story with some of the early scenes between Batman and Harley Quinn just feeling like that there on repeat which is a shame because this episode really does have some really good pacing to it with this episode really just flying right on by.


So now then this is an action show and 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 the action in this episode being very minimal at best and what action we do get is fairly solid but apart from the final fight the action in this episode is very repetitive at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a solid episode and was hugely entertaining with this episode being one that I would not only highly recommend to fans of Harley Quinn but also to fans of this show as well because it really is that good of an episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode really does earn 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 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 ad 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 of the fact that all of the images that are from this actual / very episode and that I personally found that are all currently up and on Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page are all very really fairly high in quality and as well as all of the images also being very really fairly high definition.

Worzel Gummidge "The Jumbly Sale" Review

 


TV fans there are some shows that despite being made for children somehow manage to be better then most shows that are made for adults. Worzel Gummidge is one of those shows and I think that i've found the episode that is not only pretty scary but also has what I think is one of the best acted and one of the best written scenes in the whole entire show and so then join me as I review the episode that sees a character finally get what they deserve with the episode in question being called simply just "The Jumbly Sale" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when she is donated to the local village jumble sale Aunt Sally asks Worzel to help her out only for Worzel to accidentally break of one of her legs. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes plot being alot better then what you'd expect from something that's made for kids in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Jon Pertwee as Worzel Gummidge , Una Stubbs as Aunt Sally and Jeremy Austin as John Peters. Also starring in this episode is Charlotte Coleman as Sue Peters , Barbara Ashcroft as Mrs. Mountjoy , Geoffrey Bayldon as The Crowman , Mike Berry as Mr. Peters , Norman Bird as Mr. Braithwaite , Ted Carroll as Gypsy Joe , Norman Mitchell as P.C. Parsons and Michael Ripper as Mr. Shepherd.

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 is something that I know that I say alot about this show but there's one scene in this episode that really does hit home just how good the acting and the writing in this show well and truly was.


I really do believe that this episode contains what might possibly be one of the best acted and best written scenes in this whole show. With it being in the scene with Worzel just talking to The Crowman and telling him that he no longer wants to scare crows anymore because of the fact that he's ashamed of what he did to Aunt Sally and that whole scene is just wonderfully acted as we get to see the pain come through in Worzel's voice and we get to hear just how reluctant The Crowman is to grant Worzel his wish as he knows that he doesn't really mean it.


When I say that this episode gets dark quick I mean it because this episode gets dark as all heck by the ten minuet mark and it just stays there for the reminded of the episodes running time. While Worzel Gummidge has always had dark moments in it those moments never really lasted longer then a scene or two but when it takes up the overall majority of the episode it just makes the whole episode feel different because of the fact that there's very little levity in this episode which is something that I found to be really shocking.

While this episode is still a later Aunt Sally episode which are episodes that I usually dislike as they nine times our of ten end the exact same way. Here it ends with Aunt Sally not getting her way and ending up back and locked up n her owners attic which was something that was really refreshing as it goes to show that this character doesn't always win every episode that she's in it's just ashame that this episode doesn't force her character tog row as she ends up the exact same way in all of remaining appearances which does cheapen the ending of this episode just a little bit.


If your like me and you've grown rather tired of the Aunt Sally character just due to how she mistreats Worzel then you'll loved this episode. As this episode is mostly about her finally getting what's coming to her firstly with her leg being accidentally pulled of and secondly when she's locked up in her owners attic and while it's a shame that her experiences in this episode didn't humble the character a bit it does show that the makers of this show know that the character is starting to get annoying and making her getting knocked down a peg or two apart of the main story and showing Worzel feeling so distraught that he's willing to go the one place that all scarecrows can't bring themselves to say the compost heap really was a huge stroke of genius on behalf of show creators and writers Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall.

Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes running time even was I do know that for a fact that this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly twenty six minuets. Which to his episodes credit is the perfect running time for an episode like this one to have as it has more then enough there interms of plot and story to cover that large amount of running time and it really does help that this episode has some really great pacing to it as well with the episode really just flying right on by. 



So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty pretty bad. With their not really being any laugh out loud amounts in this episode which would usually be a bad thing but given that this episode was more focused on being a pretty dark and scary episode it does make sense and plus we did get a greats stunt near the beginning of the episode with I think stuntman Terry Welsh falling from quite a high ways up which could be seen as joke in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this episode is such an underrated episode just due to how well written and how well acted the episode is and even the episode is very Aunt Sally focused it was still a rather good and a rather shocking episode as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode really does earn 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 review from Amazon . Co . Uk , Wikipedia , Twitter 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 really fairly freaking high in definition.

The Muppets Mayhem TV Series SPOILER FREE Review

 


Muppets fans yesterday I promised you all a review of the new Muppets TV show and i'm a man of my word. I will admit that this show does get better after those first three episodes and I love that these side characters are now finally get the chance to shine and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FREE review of the show that's all about family and all about rocking out with the show in question being called simply just "The Muppets Mayhem" enjoy.

The plot of the show is a secretary at a failing record company tries to convince The Electric Mayhem to make their first ever album. 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 really good as it gives us something new and yet it's also a very entertaining plot as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is Bill Barretta as Dr. Teeth , Leslie Carrara-Rudolph as Penny Waxman and Dave Goelz as Zoot. Also starring in this show is Eric Jacobson as Animal , Peter Linz as Lips , David Rudman as Janice , Matt Vogel as Floyd Pepper , David Bizzaro as Gerald Teeth Sr. , Stephanie D'Abruzzo as Tina Teeth , Lilly Singh as Nora Singh , Saara Chaudry as Hannah Singh , Tahj Mowry as Moog and Anders Holm as JJ.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With all of the The Muppets cast turning in some good performances but on the flip side of that is the fact that even all of these episodes later the human cast just don't turn in that good of a performance and come across as being rather wooden.



This show contains alot and I really do mean alot of references to the bands appearances in other Muppet media. Which I did like but at the same time it was also very distracting I mean heck one the shots in episodes one was lifted directly from The Muppet Movie but at the same time since the band themselves haven't really made that many appearances it does make sense for them to make alot of references to things like The Muppet Show for example I only wish that they didn't do it as often as they do in this show. 


If you'll recall in my first impressions post about this show you'll remember me saying that this show has alot of emotional endings. Well sadly it doesn't end with just those three episodes and I have to say that it doesn't work for a Muppets show it works for something like The Goldbergs but not the Muppets as the Muppets are anarchic and not family friendly and so ending every single episode of a Muppets based TV show in the most family friendly way possible feels like a disservice to not only the brand but also the characters.

I did like that we got alot of backstory for quite alot of the band members and while alot of them do work with the shows penchant for sad endings. Alot of them just don't work i'm not going to say who gets the backstory episodes but out of the two technically three that we got only the first one was the one that really worked for me because it was something that now explains why those two characters act the way they do together in alot of other Muppets media where as the other two just don't do that at all and are there just to act as filler scenes and really nothing all the more then that.


This show is as to be expected a musical with songs that are written by legendary singer and songwriter Linda Perry. With nearly all of this shows songs being great songs heck I love all of this shows songs so much that I went on Spotify and added all of the songs to my own personal playlist with nearly all pf this shows songs being songs that you'd expect to hear from The Electric Mayhem which does make it impossible to choose my favorite because there all so good but if I were pushed i'd say that my favorite song from this show isn't even one of the bands original original songs it's their cover version of the song "Rock and Roll All Nite" by Kiss.

Now then this show has / had episodes that are all really no longer then twenty nine minuets in total length. Which is a great running for each of these episodes to have but at the same time alot of these episodes didn't need to be as long as they are just because not alot actually happens in a stereotypical episode of this show as such alot of these episodes really could have been at the very least twenty two minuets but I will admit that alot of this shows episodes do have some really good pacing to them but sadly some of them have some really very pretty bad pacing to them as well.



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 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. As we don get some decent jokes coming from the band sadly tho the actual paid "funny" human actors like Lilly Singh just aren't that funny and heck Lilly Singh only managed to make me laugh twice in this shows ten episode run where as the band made me laugh alot more then that because the band are actually funny characters that are given actually funny things to say and do and that makes all the difference in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while this show does indeed rock and is a very good show it's lacking that special something that makes The Electric Mayhem feel like The Electric Mayhem but like I said this is still a very good show 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 means that this very show earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 .5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Muppets fandom wiki page and Google Images. With the website that I personally recommend using to get the actual images from this show being the official The Muppets fandom wiki page this is simply because nearly all of the images that are featured and are thus up and on the official The Muppets fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being very fairly high in definition.

My First Impressions Of The Muppets Mayhem TV Series

 


Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem are a band that have apart of the The Muppets brand since The Muppet Show first debuted in the late sixties. Well now after almost fifty years of being the sideshow their now taking centre stage and to celebrate this fact i'll hopefully be reviewing the full show and so now then join me as I give my first impressions of the show that somewhat tries to bring the mayhem with the show in question being called simply just "The Muppets Mayhem" enjoy.

The plot of these episodes is when it's discovered that the band too out an advance to make an album in the seventies a record label secretary tries to get the band to actually make an album. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad with the plot being the type of heartfelt plot that we'd expect from the creator of The Goldbergs but done in the stereotypical Muppet form in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in these episodes is this shows co-creator  Bill Barretta as Dr. Teeth and Leslie Carrara-Rudolph as Penny Waxman. Also starring in these episodes is Dave Goelz as Zoot , Eric Jacobson as Animal , Peter Linz as Lips , David Rudman as Janice , Matt Vogel as Floyd Pepper , Anders Holm as JJ , James Hong as Chef Dan , Jennifer Irwin as Delilah Gertz , Ducktales 2017 and Sonic The Hedgehog film star Ben Schwartz as Gus D'Vore , Lilly Singh as Nora , Tahj Mowry as Moog and Saara Chaudry as Hannah.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With the The Muppet performers doing great as their characters which is to be expected given the fact that alot of them have been playing their respective characters for decades at this point but what let's these episodes is the acting from the human cast who were just very wooden , lifeless and boring.



For a show that has the word mayhem in it's title there's oddly enough very little mayhem to be found in these first three episodes. Which for a show that has The Electric Mayhem as it's lead characters you'd think that the show would feature plenty of mayhem and yet in these first three episodes there's barely any kind of mayhem at all which makes the show feel tame which shouldn't be the case at all as The Electric Mayhem are always anarchic in all of there appearances and yet for some strange reason in these first three episodes there just not bringing the mayhem at all. 


Speaking of the band they are really good in these first three episodes and feel alot more like a family then they previously have done. With the band mostly being written very well I say mostly because something happens in episode three which I won't go into here because it's a spoiler but it feels out of character for the band to be acting they way that they do in episode three of this show which is a shame because when this show gets the band down well we get alot of really funny moments out of them but sadly tho the show really doesn't get the band down well all the time.

This show was co-created by the creator of The Goldbergs Adam F. Goldberg and you can tell because his fingerprints are all over this show. Right down to each of the first three episodes not only having an ending song but also having a deep emotional message to them the second of which got really old really fast and I hope to god that that trope doesn't continue on in the rest of the episodes because not all episodes need to have a big emotional final scene to them sometimes just ending on a joke is good enough and that should be the case for anything involving The Muppets.


I'm just going to be honesty this shows human cast of characters just aren't that interesting and the show almost sows to a crawl whenever they appear on screen. Which is a shame because they get alot of the really big emotional moments in the first three episodes and it just doesn't work because those characters aren't written all that well and are acted even worse and while they might improve over the rest of the series when you start them of on rocky foundations it doesn't matter how they end up because the foundations for them were so really bad in the first place.

Now then the first three episodes of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of no longer then twenty nine minuets with each episode being around the twenty eight minuet mark. Which for a Muppets TV show is a bit on the long side with these first three episodes not really needing to be as long as they are as you can very cut alot a good five minuets from each episode but I will very gladly admit that each of the first three episodes do indeed have some really good pacing to them with each of the episodes really just flying by. 


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 these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. As there are some bad jokes to be found in these first three episodes but when the show tells a really good joke you really do know about it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this show so far is a pretty decent show altho I don't know why Disney decided to release all of the shows ten episodes on the same day as they don't usually do that and it's not really something that works for well for this kind of show at all 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 three episodes in this very post and since i'm planning to review the show as a whole tomorrow i'm not going to be rating the show just yet.

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 used in this very post from the official The Muppets fandom wiki page and Google Images. With the website that I personally recommend using to get the actual images from this show being the official The Muppets fandom wiki page this is simply because nearly all of the images that are featured and are thus up and on the official The Muppets fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being very fairly high in definition.

Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures TV Series Review

 


Star Wars fans the franchise has always produced content that's for teens and has never done anything that's aimed at pre-schooler's. Well that all ended as on May 4th Disney and Lucasfilm released all seven episodes of a brand new animated show that's aimed at pre-schooler's and so then join me as I review the show that dares to aim for an audience that Star Wars hasn't really made anything for or even tried to make anything for with the TV show in question being called simply just "Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures" enjoy.

The plot of this show is three younglings start training to be Jedi nights at a new temple and embark on many adventures. 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 with this shows plot being as sweet and inoffensive as you'd want from a show that's being aimed at pre-schooler's in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this show is Jamaal Avery Jr. as Kai Brightstar and Dee Bradley Baker as Nubs , Adult Pirate and an Alien Patron. Also starring in this show is Eric Bauza as EB-3 , Emma Berman as Nash Durango , Juliet Donenfeld as Lys Solay , Sarah Kramer as Pord and A Patron , Taran Killam as Hap , Jonathan Lipow as RJ-83 , Dee and Kumpa , Trey Murphy as Taborr Val Dorn , Piotr Michael as Yoda and Nasim Pedrad as Zia Zanna.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. With this show mostly using child voice actors to voice alot of it's main cast and it's kid cast do do a passable job i this show and by that I mean none of them are annoying but the cast aren't really given all that much to work with interms of what their respective characters personalities are.



Doing the animation for this show is the legends and the greats that are currently over at ICON Creative Studio. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation 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 animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. However the character designs are all of with alot of the characters having these really big heads which just look really weird and are very of putting as well. 


This is our first piece of Star Wars media to be set in the The High Republic era which I really didn't mind. As it's an era that hasn't been explored in either TV shows , video games or movies and so to have an entire show set within this era to me makes sense as it means that we could see alot more of what the Star Wars universe was like at that point in it's time line as apposed to seeing it in the more familiar timelines which don't get me wrong I love those timelines but it's always nice to see something new and to see a new part of Star Wars history being told to us from an era of which we know really very little about.

Incase your wondering why this is a review and not a first impressions well it's because of the fact that Disney and Lucasfilm have released the shows first seven episodes on Disney+. Which to me makes no sense as you could have gotten more kids to watch the show if you released the episodes weekly like they are doing with the shows Disney Junior release which to me makes alot more sense as the shows kid auidence can now have a better chance of connecting with this cast of characters and that means that you can sell more toys which means that you make more money from the show.


This show is as inoffensive as it gets which is to be expected from a show who's main target audience is pre-schooler's. However with that being said I feel that this show could have been so much better just because this show fails at the most basic things with their being very little to no conflict in most of the shows episodes and the characters have next to no personality which is bad enough for a show that's aimed at a much older audience but it's worse when it's in a show that's aimed at pre-schooler's because it just shows that the makers of this show are lazy and that's it.

Now then this show has seven episodes all of which are no longer then twenty four minuets and nine seconds. With sadly each episode being split up into two eleven minute segments which is fine for some episodes but the first episode really could have just been one episode as it had alot of things to set up and heck given the plot of that episode you very easily could have released that episode as a forty to forty five minute special episode and while alot of the episodes do have some good pacing sadly alot more of them don't have good pacing with the episodes just rushing from plot point to plot point because of the fact that the next segment is about to start up any minute now.


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 show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. Which for a pre-schooler's show was something that I expected to be the case just because those type pf shows very rarely if ever have great or memorable action in them in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this isn't a bad show for very little kids as there's nothing in this show that will harm in any kind of way and it's a great show to show very little kids that are interested in watching Star Wars as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such that means that this very show earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Star Wars fandom wiki page , 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 the official Star Wars fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Star Wars fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

My First Impressions Of Unicorn: Warriors Eternal

 


There are so few legends when it comes to the world of TV animation with one of those legends being Genndy Tartakovsky. Has just dropped the first two episodes of his new TV series which if it's anything like his previous work then you know that it's going to be great and so then join me as I give you my first impressions of the show that will most likely be getting alot of love with the show in question being called simply just "Unicorn: Warriors Eternal" enjoy.

The plot of these first two episodes is when an ancient evil awakens three warriors who have thought the evil before in the past have to awoken in their current bodies. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / resented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad with the plot doing a very good job of setting up the heroes in a very organic way and could be possibly be setting up a somewhat interesting character arc as well which has all of the potential to be really good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in these very episodes is Hazel Doupe as Emma and voice acting legend Grey Griffin as Melinda and A Mysterious Woman. Also starring in these very episodes is Demari Hunte as Alfie , Alain Uy as Seng , Tom Milligan as Dmitri , Jacob Dudman as Edred , Ron Bottita as Lord Edward Fairfax , Infinity Train and American Gods star Jeremy Crutchley as Merlin and George Webster as Winston.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With all of these episodes cast members turning in some really good performances which when the script is this good isn't that hard to do as all you'd have to do is just say the words as there written and boom a good performance would come out alot more naturally.


Doing the animation for not only these episodes but also the show as a whole is Studio La Cachette and Studio Zmei. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to  us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good with this shows animation being feature film worthy as it's that damned good.


This film deals with the fact that one persons soul can carry on living in a new body which was something that I found to be really interesting. As it means that the characters can have literally hundreds of years worth of experience and yet still have to deal with things that other ordinary people would have to deal with which makes the show feel fresh and different as there's really no show out right now that has this idea as part of their show and how this show handles that idea is really comedic and could also very tragic as well.

I really did like the character of Emma / Melinda as she was a pretty fun character and I can't wait to see more of her. Altho I will admit that the first episode have constantly doing something which i'm not going to spoil as it's a key plot point of the whole entire episode which I found to be rather annoying as it's something that they didn't need to as often as they did but I get it that it's part of the characters arc but you still could have done it in away that didn't make the character come across as being rather annoying. 


There are some comedic moments in these first two episodes which I really did like as it felt like hose moments where the calm before the storm. With the shows comedy also being rather good as well with there being quite alot of really funny moments just in these first two episodes alone and that was something that I really liked as from the trailers it looks like that this show is going to get really dark really quickly and so to have these more lighthearted moments in the show just makes all the more sense.

Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grad total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and forty three seconds whilst episode two has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and fifty six seconds. With this show having the bogstanderd twenty two minuets per episode running time I really do think that that running time is the perfect time for a show like this one to have and to this shows credit just based of off the first two episodes alone it really does make the best use of that running time and both episodes really do have some good pacing to both of them.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With the action so far being really good but at the same time there really wasn't that much action in both of these first two episodes but what little action that we did get in these first two episodes was really good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this show seems like it will be another fan favorite for creator Genndy Tartakovsky as it really does have have all the hallmarks of being a really great show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these very episodes in this very 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.

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 Unicorn: Warriors Eternal fandom wiki page , the official Primal 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 Unicorn: Warriors Eternal fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Unicorn: Warriors Eternal fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
