South Park: Joining The Panderverse SPOILER FILLED Review

 


Every so often there comes along that gets people online so riled up that you just have to check it out the first chance that you get. Well that;s exactly what happened when South Park dropped the teaser trailer for South Park: Joining The Panderverse as alot of people got upset that South Park was doing what it always does and always has done and that's make fun of everybody and well with the special dropping today on Paramount+ I just really had to check out and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the special that really had alot of people really upset just from the teaser trailer alone with the special in question being called simply just "South Park: Joining The Panderverse" enjoy.

The plot of the special is when Cartman finds himself sucked into another dimension that replaces everybody with different versions of themselves the boys have to find away to get him back before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot tat'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 the weakest aspect of this special as the special plot was rather on the weak side with the plot not really showing up until about twenty minuets and even then the plot really just disappears quite alot of the time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Starring in this special is this specials writer , director and the shows co-creator Trey Parker as Stan Marsh , Eric Cartman , Randy Marsh , PC Principal , Mr. Fixit , Dr. Krongberg , Tom Tompson , Chris Martins , Stephen Stotch , Alternate Herbert Garrison , Alternate Harrison Yates and Alternate Kathleen Kennedy. Also starring in this special is the shows co-creator Matt Stone as Kyle Broflovski , Kenny McCormick , Butters Stotch , Gerald Broflovski , Bob Iger and Cereal Kyle , April Stewart as Sharon Marsh , Liane Cartman , Shelly Marsh and Alien Liane Cartman , Mona Marshall as Sheila Broflovski , Adrien Beard as Steve Black , Kimberly Brooks as Linda Black and Kathleen Kennedy , Janeshia Adams-Ginyard as Alternate Eric Cartman , Mo Ashley as Alternate Stan Marsh , Alice Ghostlie as Alternate Kenny McCormick , Diana Lauren Jones as Alternate Kyle Broflovski , Bibi Mama as Alternate Butters Stotch and Luis Perez as Mark Parker.

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. Wit all of the cast in this special turning in some really good performances which does make sense as not only does this show always have some really good acting in it but alot of this specials voice cast are a bunch of really good voice actors and really helping things is the fact that this specials script is so good that all the cast have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a god performance will come out more naturally.



Doing the animation for this special is the legends and the greats that are currently over at South Park Studios. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation 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 animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty really good which again really shouldn't be all that surprising as the animation in this show has always been really good and what really does help the animation in this special is the fact that it really does look like that it could belong in a feature length film not just a streaming special as the animation is that good.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!



This special takes alot of shots at not only Disney but also Lucasfilm and the fact that alot of superhero movies in general have been using the idea of a multiverse. Heck even the first real joke in the main South Park universe is them taking aim at Disney with the title of this film being done in the style of the Disney logo and heck even the specials title could be seen as a reference to Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse but for me while the multiverse story was indeed very entertaining what was more entertaining was the storyline with Randy where they oddly take a shot at the fact that the owners of X / Twitter and Facebook want to get into an MMA ring and fight each other and heck Randy's story was just more entertaining overall.

For a special that deals with the multiverse they don't really spend alot of time explaining how the multiverse works in the world of South Park. Which is a shame because they really could have gone over the top with the idea of the multiverse which is something that they do hint at at the end of special but it's something that would have been really cool to see as seeing South Park take apart something that's infecting modern day cinema could have been really entertaining and seeing the different South Park universes could have been really fun to see but at the same time it's also something that would have felt like padding as well.



I've held of on it for long as I could but I have to talk about the so called "controversy" surrounding this special. As a certain group of people got upset that South Park was making fun of both race and gender swapping characters for no reason yet those exact same people were more then OK when South Park mocked people who believed differently from them in The Pandemic Special and don't realise that just like The Simpsons South Park takes aim at anybody and everything just because they were taking on something that those people liked and agree with doesn't mean that they can't show us the funny side to that idea if anything it means that they should do it more often as the gender and race swapped versions of the characters in this special were actually well written and were very entertaining for the really small and short amount of time that they were on screen.

Now then this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty eight minuets and forty seconds. Which was a bit on the long side for this special as the special really doesn't have alot of story to cover that large amount of running time in the first place with alot of the stuff with Randy mostly feeling like padding even tho it's very entertaining which is a shame because they could have stretched this episode alot more just by developing the alternate universe of San , Kyle and Kenny all of whom get the short end of the stick as we don't get to really spend alot of time in the alternate world which is something that we could have done if the makers of this of this special well and truly wanted to but I will admit that this special really does have some really good pacing to it.


So now then as 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 special 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 special was in all honesty really good. With this special having a lot of truly laugh out loud moments with alot of what alternate Cartman says being true comedy gold and even the idea that Kathleen Kennedy is somehow involved is just a funny idea with the same thing also being true for the fact that all of the parents of the main universe South Park just accepting the fact that Cartman is now a now female of color also being a really funny running gag and the fact that all of the handymen in town are now wealthy for no reason is just a funny idea in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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


Overall this was a really fun and funny special but at the same time it's neither as fun nor as funny as it perhaps could or maybe even really should have been 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 special in this very review and as such that meas that this very special really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as of for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this 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 Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse fandom wiki page , the official South Park fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being Google Images simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are on Google Images  are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Worzel Gummidge "Very Good Worzel" Review

 


Well then it's been a long time since I last wrote a review of a Worzel Gummidge not for lack of trying to review anther it's just different things got in the way. Well thankfully this time there was nothing to prevent me from reviewing an episode that i've been dying to review really for quite some time and so then join me as I review the episode that really is then very first episode of this show to not be directed by the shows regular director with the episode in question being called simply just "Very Good Worzel" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is in order to make some money Worzel and Aunt Sally get new jobs working for Mrs.Bloomsbury-Barton. 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 simple but enjoyably so with this being helped by the fact that this episodes plot really enjoyable and entertaining as well as being really engaging as well 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 , Norman Bird as Mr. Braithwaite , Megs Jenkins as Mrs. Braithwaite , John Le Mesurier as Baines , Beatrix Mackey as Lady Partington , Hilary Mason as Miss Fogg , Cherry Morris as The Vicar's Wife , Clifford Parrish as The Vicar , comedy legend Joan Sims as Mrs. Bloomsbury-Barton and Last Of The Summer Wine star Sarah Thomas as Enid Simmons.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which really isn't all that surprising as the acting in this show has always been really good even in the shows bad episodes the acting was always top notch and the same thing is true for this episode as well and alot of that comes down to the fact that not only are their some genuinely good actors and actresses in this episode but the script for this episode is good that all the cast have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them alot more naturally and that really does show in this episode.



What I really loved about this episode is the fact that we got to see Worzel and Aunt Sally working together. This was something that I really wasn't expecting to be the case as when we usually see them it's usually Worzel who is being kind to Aunt Sally and yet in this episode they are both working together to archive a common goal in this case earning some money ad while they do still argue in the episode for alot of the episodes running time they are working together and I have to wonder why the makers of this show didn't have them working together more often as it was really cute seeing them working together and seeing just what kind of mayhem they can course when they do work together in any given situation.


This episode really is choke full to the brim with a bunch of truly iconic british comedy actors and actresses. Which just goes to show you that alot of people really were trying to get on this show as it was and still is a good show and the fact that in this one episode we managed to get stars from the Carry On films as well as a star from the hit show Dad's Army in one episode together just goes to hit that point home even further as if this was any other show where they treated the making of an episode just like any other kids TV show then it wouldn't have worked but as the treated the making of an episode of Worzel Gummidge like they were making a film it meant that we could get bigger name stars to guest star in the episode as it meant that the scripts for each episode had to be feature film worthy ad not just TV show worthy.

For some strange reason this is the only episode of the original show not to be directed by the series regular director James Hill. With this episode instead being directed by David Pick who was an associate producer for all of the shows first and second series and a few episodes of it's third and fourth series I have no idea why he chose to direct this one episode but it does seem rather odd that of all of the series two episodes this is the one that he'd choose to direct and not one of the more dramatic episodes not really helping things is the fact that he has a different directing style to James Hill with James treating it like he was making a feature length film but here it felt like it was more of a high end kids TV show and that really does come down to the directing.


Even tho alot of the episode does take place in or around Mrs Bloomsbury-Barton's House the episode oddly feels claustrophobic. As we don't really get to explore much of the inside of the house nor do we get the grounds of the house either with us only being limited to just a few rooms in the inside of the house and just a few corners in the outside of the house which is a shame as with an episode like this one it would have given us the chance to explore more of the house and see how the house runs on a day to say basis and yet the episode doesn't do that in the slightest and as a result it does get a bit repetitive just seeing the same rooms over and over again without seeing anything new or even interesting in them.

Now then while I cannot for the absolute life of me remember whatever this episodes running time I do know that for a fact that this episode has / had an exact grad total running time of roughly twenty five minuets. Which is pretty much the bog standard running time for this show and to this episodes credit it really doesn't feel that long at all with the episode having more then enough their interms of plot to cover that amount of running time but at the same time I would have liked it if the episode was really just a tiny bit longer as like with alot of episodes in this show I was having such a good time watching it that I just really wanted to see more of that world and more of those characters and it really does help that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it.


So now then as this is a comedy that means that I have tom 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 really good. With this episode having a lot of really funny moments like the fact that Aunt Sally spells her name the exact same way that a child would which was not only really funny but it was also really fitting for the character as well as the character would actually do something like that or even the fact that when Sue shows Worzel what a butler she has her nose up in the air which was just a really cute and really funny moment in the episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while I wouldn't say that this episode is a must watch for Worzel fans it is a good example of just how good this show can be when it it's at it's best with the episode itself just being really fun tom watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad thins that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns 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 well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . UK , Wikipedia and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being Google Images simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are on Google Images  are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The Perfect Pear Review

 


Every so often we all get songs that just pop back into our heads for no reason well the very same thing happend to me just a few short days ago. With that very song leading me to suddenly remember this episode and well I thought that i'd review it for all today as it's meant to be a very popular episode in the My Little Pony fandom and so then join me as I review the episode that as a song so catchy that i'm willing to bet that alot of you are singing it right now with the episode in question being called simply just "The Perfect Pear" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when a pony returns of Ponyville the Apple siblings go on a quest to learn more about their parents. 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 as it was a really simple plot and that's what this show does best nice and simple plots and while yes there are episodes that have complicated plots this is an episode that really didn't need a complicated plot at all it just a plot that was nice and simple and that was exactly what we got given to us in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Ashleigh Ball as Applejack , Michelle Creber as Apple Bloom and Peter New as Goldie Delicious and Big Mac. Also starring in this episode is William Shatner as Grand Pear , Felicia Day as Pear Butter , Tabitha St. Germain as Mrs. Cake / Chiffon Swirl and Granny Smith , Bill Mondy as Burnt Oak and A Townspony , Bill Newton as Bright Mac and Cathy Weseluck as Mayor Mare.

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 bad. Which is to be expected as the show had been going on for seven years at this point and it really does help that this episodes cast are a bunch of really talented voice actors who know what kind of performance would suit their respective characters in any given scene and it's also helped by the fact that this episodes script is so good that all the cast have to do is just say the words as they written and a good performance will come out them naturally as that's just how good the script for this episode really is.



Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Top Draw Animation. Now then interms of what Im personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but that's also the issue as it wasn't all that good either that's not tom say that the animation was bad because it wasn't it was however just OK best with there not really being any standout pieces of animation which is a shame because on paper this episode should have had at least one stand put piece of animation in it.


I think we all now the reason as to why this episode is as loved as it is and that's because it tells a genuinely good love story. With the closest thing that I can think of to compare this love story was that of Romeo & Juliet as the stories of both Romeo & Juliet and this episode are fairly similar with both of the people in love coming from families that absolutely hate each other and while this show for rather obvious reasons couldn't go down the dark route that Romeo & Juliet goes down it's still a rather sweet thing to see as it really a tale that's as old as time and when it's done right like it is in this episode then we end up with something that's not really truly special but also something that people will remember for a long time to come.

Really helping with this episode being a huge fan favorite is it's song which is called "You're In My Head Like A Catchy Song" and is written by the episodes co-writers Joanna Lewis and Kristine Songco. I have t admit that I really do love this song as it's not only a really well written with the song advancing the plot of these two characters but it's also a genuinely really good song that is really sung by actress Felicia Day with this song being just like it says in the songs title a very catchy song that will stay n your head fora long time after finishing this episode and you when add in the fact that the songs matches the visuals perfectly then it's no wonder that this song is just that damned good of song that's perfect for this episode in the first place.


While there are alot of good things to be found in this episode there are some things that I didn't like about the episode like the fact that Grand Pear gets redeemed which to me shouldn't have happened as it would have said to people that sometimes people just don't get over grudges at all. The other thing being the fact that it seems out of character for all of these characters who up until now would have most likely have been saying that lying is bad to suddenly be written as liars and while they do give an in episode reason as to why the characters are acting like that it's still something that shouldn't have happend as the episode still could have told it's story without using the characters that use for the flashbacks by instead creating brand new characters.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and fifty eight seconds. Which is a bit of short running time for this episode to have as this episode would, have been better served if it was a two part episode as then the story could have been allowed to breathe more and it would also allow the episode to really tug at your heartstrings alot more as well but at the same time however as the episode only really has enough plot for this one episode if they did stretch it out to two episodes then they would have been making the plot really weak and really thin and that in the long run would do a huge disservice to both the plot and to the show as a whole and I will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it.


So now then as the is some comedy to be found in this episode that means that I gave to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / resented to us in this very episode well ten in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episode some really cute and funny moments. Which is something that I was really surprised by as it would have made sense for them just to focus on the romance aspect of this episode and yet fr all the amount of romance that they give us in this episode they give us these really cute little comedic moments which worked really well in this very episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really fun and a really sweet episode with it being really obvious to see why this episode became such a fan favorite episode as it's an episode that really tug at your heartstrings in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the ad things that are in very episode in this very very review and as such that means that means that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girl and as well ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page , Wikipedia and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are featured / up and on the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Justice League X RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen Part Two Film Review

 


Two part movies are usually ever done when there's story worth telling that can be only be told in two parts. Well with Warner Bros having a very busy week with them celebrating their one hundredth anniversary you'd be forgiven for forgetting that the second part of a crossover that nobody was asking for has finally been released and well since I checked out the first film it only made sense that I check out this film as well and so then join me as I review that sees a pointless crossover come to an end with the film in question being called simply just "Justice League X RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen Part Two" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when Grimm suddenly start attacking the world of the Justice League the Justice League call on team RWBY to help them out and find out who is responsible and put a stop to them 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 really bad with this films plot being very weak at best with the plot of film just straight up disappearing and reappearing again whenever it pleases with this not really being helped by the fact that the plot isn't feature length worthy at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Travis Willingham as Clark Kent / Kal-El / Superman and Mark Mardon / Weather Wizard and Laura Bailey as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman. Also starring in this film is Troy Baker as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Sam Scudder / Mirror Master , Lindsay Jones as Ruby Rose , Kara Eberle as Weiss Schnee , Arryn Zech as Blake Belladonna , Barbara Dunkelman as Yang Xiao Long , David Dastmalchian as Barry Allen / The Flash , Jeannie Tirado as Jessica Cruz / Green Lantern , Tru Valentino as Victor Stone / Cyborg and Kilg%re , Jamie Chung as Dinah Lance / Black Canary , J. Michael Tatum as Klein Sieben and AEW Wrestler Maxwell Jacob Friedman as Waylon Jones / Killer Croc.

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 the cast for this film turning in some really good performances but at the same time tho the acting isn't as could as it could have been as this cast have turned in better performances in other films and TV shows and alot of that comes down to the fact that this films script just isn't that good with the script not really giving the actors alot to work with interms of what it is that their respective characters personalities even is.



Doing the animation for this film is of course the legends and the greats that are currently over at Rooster Teeth. 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 not that bad altho I would have liked if since we are in the DC world they went with 2D hand drawn animation to emulate the style of animation in the DC films as in the first film they used 3D animation to represent the fact that they are in the world of RWBY but given that use 3D animation in this film as well all it does is make the film look cheap as while the characters do have some rather ice looking movements to them the streets are empty alot of the time and the backgrounds just look rather flat and lifeless.


There are some films out there that are made to be two part films as they have a story that can only be told in two parts. This film is not one of those films as this film really should have been a one and done film as there's no overarching plot and nothing to really make us want to watch the second part which is a shame as that is something have been fixed just by ending the first film with the characters from RWBY waking up in the world of the DC characters as now those characters would have to find a way back tom their world which would not only end the first film on a really fairly solid cliffhanger but it also give this film a really much more stronger plot line and an actual mystery as well as giving an actual reason as to why this story was told in a two part film.

Not really helping with the whole cheap looking thing is the fact that even tho the whole world is being attacked by Grimm we barely see any of it. With most of this film taking place in this one city and because of that we don't get to see more Justice League members helping out which while I do understand why that is the case as it would have been alot of hard work to animate alot of the Justice League characters but it would have made the Grimm feel alot more of a threat as we're seeing the Justice League being stretched to it's absolute limits and heck you could even show us some more villains helping out as well but the attacks that we did get to see did help sell us on the fact that the Grimm in this world is a very dangerous threat indeed.


As this is a crossover film you'd expect this film to treat both sides of the crossover equally but nope as the films gives more attention to the RWBY characters then it does the Justice League. This is not to say that the Justice League don't have their own individual plots because they do but there's alot more care and attention being given to the RWBY characters which does make sense as this film was being made by Rooster Teeth but at the same time in a crossover movie both sides of the crossover need to be given equal care and equal amounts of attention this to me makes it seem like the makers of this film wanted the RWBY characters to be seen as the main characters and the Justice League to be seen as the side characters.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fourteen minuets and fifty two seconds. Which is quite a bit longer then what this film really needed to be as you really could have told the entire plot of this film in forty five minuets as that's all the amount of story that this film really does have alot of time to cover which again makes me wonder why this film was a two part film as the whole storyline could have been told in one film and when you add in the fact that the plot of this film is really weak it means that we get alot of scenes are just there for padding as they add nothing to either the plot of the overall or to the characters characters arcs either but I will admit that this film really does have some fairly solid pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is an action film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us un this very film was in all honesty really good. With this film having some really cool and creative action sequences and it's in this films many action scenes that we get to see some cool team ups between the Justice League crew and the RWBY characters which really do make both this film and the first film worth watching as it was always going to be fun seeing just what combination that we would get in both films action scenes and it's those combination that make this films action scenes all the more fun , exciting and cool to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this film really didn't need to exist at all and was just a huge let down of a really cool idea that in theory could have worked and yet for one reason or another it just didn't work out all that well in the slightest 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 meas that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official RWBY fandom wiki page and the official DC Movies fandom wiki page. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being the official RWBY fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are featured / up and on the official RWBY fandom wiki page are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Teen Titans Go! "Warner Bros. 100th Anniversary" Review

 


With Disney making such a big deal about it being their one hundredth anniversary you'd be forgiven if you forgot that another Hollywood film studio was also celebrating their one hundredth anniversary as well. Well now Warner Bros have finally released the episode of Teen Titans Go that is really meant to celebrate that huge fact and well I wanted to see if it was any good or not and so then join me as I review the episode that really does try to celebrate one hundred years of Warner Bros with the episode in question being called simply just "Warner Bros. 100th Anniversary" enjoy.

The plot of the episode is Robin volunteers the titans to host a party celebrating Warner Bros one hundredth anniversary but when the Warner Bros shield is broken it's up to the titans Yogi Bear , Daffy Duck and some gremlins t restore the shield 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 bit that's also the issue as this episodes plot wasn't all that good either with the plot of the episode just being rather OK at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Greg Cipes as Beast Boy , Scott Menville as Robin and Khary Payton as Cyborg. Also starring in this episode is Tara Strong as Raven and Sea Creature 3 , Hynden Walch as Starfire , Eric Bauza as Bugs Bunny , Daffy Duck , Jabberjaw and The Wizard Of Oz , Jeff Bennet as Brain Gremlin , Bob Bergen as Porky Pig and Sea Creature 1 , Jeff Bergman as Yogi Bear and Foghorn Leghorn and Fred Tatasciore as Michigan J. Frog , Yosemite Sam , Taz and Sea Creature 2.

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 acing that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With all of this episodes voice cast turning in some wonderful performances which given who is starring in this episode isn't all that surprising as this shows cast is made up of a bunch of really talented voice actors alot of whom have been playing their respective characters for decades and would there for no what kind of performance to give their respective character in any given situation but even this episodes cast can't elevate the really bad script.


Doing the animation for not only this episode but i'm guessing the rest of the show is Bardel Entertainment Inc. Now then interms f what I personally thought / felt about h actual animation hat's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with this episodes animation really being the best part of the episode as even tho it's not mixing animation styles like Once Upon A Studio did the animation in the episode itself was still a joy to look at even if they did play things very safe animation wise and didn't really take any risks with the shows animation.


If Once Upon A Studio showcased just how good Disney can be when it's at it's best then this episode showed us just how bad Warner Bros can be. As alot of the legacy characters felt like they were being written out of character alot of the time with alot of the titans apart from Robin taking a backseat to the other characters heck even tho the wizard type things that they do show are meant to be Harry Potter they never say it which is weird because Warner Bros have the rights to mention Harry Potter and yet they openly chose not to which is weird as it's Harry Potter that helped to keep Warner Bros as relevant as it is during the early to late two thousands and yet they don't even do them the basic honor of saying the Harry Potter name even once which just felt very disrespectful.

Once Upon A Studio was filled to the brim with heart ad passion and it really did show in every single frame of that short film. Yet in this episode the opposite is true as it appears as if there's no love for Warner Bros with the episode coming more across as an obligation and not because the makers of the show have a passion for the company that they work for which is something that you really need to have when your creating something that's meant to honor a certain company and yet here it felt more mean spirited and less like something that the company would be proud off with this not really being helped by the fact that there is potential for something good and loving here but the episodes just lacks the passion that an episode like this one really did need to have.


I will give this episode this it did try to be epic and it did try to do something new and different with the Warner Bros shield. However it just can't reach that full potential because of the fact that it keeps on holding itself back with the episode being more focused on telling bad jokes with Robin and Daffy Duck then it is trying to celebrate the companies one hundredth anniversary and making this is a Teen Titans Go episode really didn't help things as this show despite having a really good theatrical movie still has alot of hate surrounding it which makes me wonder if Warner Bros should have made this episode as a Looney Tunes cartoon as those are the characters that are more synonyms with Warner Bros then Teen Titans Go is or ever will be.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty three minuets and fifteen seconds. With this episode having the perfect running time given that it's an anniversary special and again to the episodes credit it does have more then enough there interms if plot and story to cover that large amount if running but at the same time the episode also has a really stupid subplot with Robin and Daffy which really isn't needed as it's a subplot that goes nowhere and brings the episode down quite alot with the subplot really feeling alot more like padding when it doesn't really need to pad out it's running time at all in the slightest but I will admit that this episode really does have some really goo pacing to it tho.


So now then as 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 but that's also the issue as this episode wasn't all that funny either. With this film mostly telling jokes that a little kid would find funny which does make sense given the show target audience but at the same time alot of the the shows kid audience aren't going to know alot of the characters that are appearing in this special which means that the show makers really could have included some jokes that alot more people will find actually funny and yet they chose not to do that and that is something that really does show in this very episode in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.


Overall I know that it seems like I hated this special but that's only because that I wanted it to be good and yet this special was only at best OK which it really shouldn't have been in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all  of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

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

Once Upon A Studio Film Review

 


Disney is a company that as been around for all of our lives and has been their when we needed that extra little bit of magic to help us to get through the day. Well now that exact same company in question is also celebrating it's one hundredth anniversary and to celebrate such a huge anniversary the house of mouse have released a brand new short film and well you all just new that I had to take a look at this very short the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I review the film that features close to five hundred and fifty animated Disney characters with the film in question being called simply just "Once Upon A Studio" enjoy.

The plot of this film is Mickey and Minnie try to get as many Disney characters together in order to take one big family photo. 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 inn all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty rather simple but simple in the best way possible as that's really the kind of plot that work best for a special like this one not one that's deep and complicated just one that's simple and that reminds you of what Disney can be like when it's at it's absolutely best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Scott Adsit as Baymax , Stephen J. Anderson as Bowler Hat Guy and Tony Anselmo as Donald Duck. Also starring in this film is Awkwafina as Sisu , Jason Bateman as Nick Wilde , Kristen Bell as Anna , Jodi Benson as Ariel , Robby Benson as Beast , Auliʻi Cravalho as Moana , Ravi Cabot-Conyers as Antonio Madrigal , Jim Cummings as Baloo and Winnie the Pooh , Ariana DeBose as Asha , Chris Diamantopoulos as Mickey Mouse , Richard Epcar as Little John , Bill Farmer as Goofy and Pluto , Keith Ferguson as Prince Charming , Santino Fontana as Hans , Josh Gad as Olaf , Ginnifer Goodwin as Judy Hopps , Jonathan Groff as Kristoff , Jennifer Hale as Cinderella , Jess Harnell as Scuttle , Tom Hulce as Quasimodo , Jeremy Irons as Scar , Dwayne Johnson as Maui , Bob Joles as Cogsworth , Judy Kuhn as Pocahontas , Nathan Lane as Timon , Luke Lowe as Flounder , Burny Mattinson as Himself , Idina Menzel as Elsa , Jim Meskimen as Eeyore and Merlin , Piotr Michael as Iago , Mandy Moore as Rapunzel , Paige O'Hara as Belle , Raymond S.

Now the  interms of what I personally thought / felt abut the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us un this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. Which really isn't all that surprising as alot of this films cat have either been playing there respective characters for quite some time or were the original voices for their respective which means that they would of course no what performance would best suit there characters in any given situation and when you add in the fact that alot of this films cast members are a bunch of really good voice actors it's no wonder that the acting in this film is as good as it is.



Doing the animation for this film,is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Walt Disney Animation Studios and Creative Capers Entertainment. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all  honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with the film using a blend of 2D traditional hand drawn animation and 3D CGI animation with the two styles blending together really well.


What I really loved about this film is the fact that didn't just use the popular Disney characters and call it a day. Nope they went and used some pretty obscure characters from the Disney canon with the main characters from Home On The Range and Dodger from Oliver And Company getting a cameo during the film of course it would have been nice if we got to see more obscure Disney characters but the fact that just those two sets of characters got mentioned is a miracle in of itself as the characters haven't really been seen since their respective movies came out with the characters themselves only being remembered by die hard Disney fans which means that the fact that they were included in this short film just goes to show that the makers behind this film really did want to truly really honor all things Disney.

If you were expecting this film to only feature a handful of animated characters from Disney's past then be prepared to be blown away. As this film features a grand total of five hundred and forty three characters all of which are fully animated which is just insane as that would be an insane amount of work to do for a short film heck it would be an insane amount of work for a full length feature film and yet they included this amount of characters in a short film that not alot of people are fully aware about and because of that I have to give the makers of the film alot of credit as that really does allow them to go deep into the Disney vault and pull out some of the more obscure characters that don't usually get alot of love.


For some strange reason they chose to make this film a musical film with songs written by Ned Washington , Howard Ashman , Richard M. Sherman and Richard B. Sherman. This film really didn't need to be a musical especially as they aren't using any new songs for this film all there doing is just reusing songs from Disney's past which is fine for "When You Wish Upon A Star" as that is the theme song for Disney but we didn't need to hear songs from The Jungle Book or Mary Poppins as those are songs that have no connection to Disney outside of one of the songs from Mary Poppins being Walt Disney personal favorite song and heck this film would have worked just as fine if it wasn't a musical short film.

Now then this film has / had an exact gran total running time of exactly eight minuets and forty seven seconds. Which for me is another issue that I had with this film as that is such a short running time as this film was just so good that I wanted it to be longer and heck you could have very easily have gotten this film up to twenty two minuets by showing the villains  of past Disney films trying to stop the heroes from taking the picture which then would have allowed you to use alot more villains and alot more obscure villains at that and t would have given the short film some stakes as well which is something that is very sadly lacking from this film but  will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is a comedy that means that I gave 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 really good. With this film having alot of really cute jokes that i'm sure will get a laugh out of lot of people with alot of those jokes being the kind of jokes that you'd expect to see in a short film like this with nearly all of them managing to get a smile out of me as they really were just all of  that good of a really funny joke to begin with in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this is a great way for Disney to celebrate it's entire history as the film doesn't disrespect the past and prop up the future it instead treats them both equally and reminds of just how good Disney can be when it's at it's absolutely best 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 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 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 the official Disney fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Disney fandom wiki page are all really fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being really very fairly freaking high in definition.
