Cleopatra in Space: A Show That Somehow Exists

Cleopatra In Space Clearly Had Fans Rooting For It Cleopatra in Space is baffling on every level. Someone with deep pockets or a large group of people clearly loves this idea/story/concept so much that they have thrown an inordinate number of resources at it. The animation? Shockingly good. You can tell that the underlying technology… Read More: Cleopatra in Space: A Show That Somehow Exists »

Wolf King Is One Of The Worst Fantasy Cartoons

Wolf King is the worst show I’ve seen in a long time. It clearly wants to be like Avatar: The Last Airbender, but it starts off terrible, predictable, and shoddy, and doesn’t rise all that far from that. Like even on a premise level, the show racks up issues. It’s an alternative world where some… Read More: Wolf King Is One Of The Worst Fantasy Cartoons »

Centaurworld: A Mind-Breaking Mismatch

To Watch Centaurworld Is To Stare Into Pure Chaos I don’t understand Centaurworld. It defies comprehension to such a degree I want to investigate creator interviews or production notes. Somehow, such a show was allowed to be made and then given this extreme level of care and budget.  Let me start with the good, so… Read More: Centaurworld: A Mind-Breaking Mismatch »

The Ghost And Molly McGee: An Absolute Delight

The Show Is Very Predictable And Fantastic For It For better and not for the worst, The Ghost and Molly McGee is basically what you’d expect it to be. The first episode—which is all I’ve seen of it—is in the standard style of episodic comedy. But that’s not a complaint. There’s something appealing about this sort of show being… Read More: The Ghost And Molly McGee: An Absolute Delight »

Amphibia: Emotionally Different Cartoon

Amphibia Is A Show With Several Distinct Themes Amphibia wants to make dark jokes and frog jokes, and it succeeds at both. Or at least that’s what the early episodes are about. A more continuous plot starts later, but for the first few episodes, the show is content with slice-of-life fun.    Like, the initial worldbuilding… Read More: Amphibia: Emotionally Different Cartoon »

Kid Cosmic: Well-Worn Premise Skillfully Done

This Show Wears Its Many Influences on Its Sleeve Kid Cosmic seems like the natural offspring of a few shows, and a few pieces of very prominent media. It wears those influences on its sleeve—so much so your enjoyment might depend on how willing you are to play along with the show’s specific inspirations. Foremost,… Read More: Kid Cosmic: Well-Worn Premise Skillfully Done »

Pixar Popcorn: An Absolute Delight

[embedded content] Pixar Popcorn Is Just Some Simple Animated Fun When reviewing Pixar Popcorn, I had to jump around with the series. This is because I’ve not seen either Soul or the newest Toy Story—and I did not want spoilers. So, instead, I focused on some Incredibles shorts, the Coco short, and the Dory one.… Read More: Pixar Popcorn: An Absolute Delight »

The Last Kids on Earth: Fun If A Little Shallow

[embedded content] This Sub-Genre Seems To Be Working Out Well Between Kipo and The Last Kids on Earth, the child-friendly apocalypse has become a subgenre. But that’s not a bad thing, especially when both shows have been stellar. But there’s a major difference between these series. Kipo has childish aspects to it, sure, but it… Read More: The Last Kids on Earth: Fun If A Little Shallow »
