Warning do not read unless seen episode.

This is another of my favorite episodes of the show. I really like this idea of Buster, Babs, and Plucky all want to take the reins and make a movie on their own; in a way it's a bit meta and forth wall breaking as it's about cartoon characters wanting to make a cartoon movie, yeah wrap your head around that one.

What I like about the episode is how it parodies and even satirizing on how hard it really is to make a single movie. But also, on conflicting interests and how impossible it is to appeal to the masses.

It's funny seeing how each of the characters are going about it like Plucky as usual going for the fast solutions by Xeroxing animated pages just to speed up the animation process, though anyone in animation knows that wouldn't work, but it's a show you just roll with it.

Another is seeing Buster literally being a slave driver as he is in a roman solder outfit and he is drumming the drums while the animators painstakingly animate, this is funny because it's true as animating tons of pages can be grueling work with almost no end. It's just hilarious when Buster then just looses his crap when one of the animators makes a slight demand, just like the "Incredible Hulk" you don't want to make buster angry.

Even like one moment which isn't a funny moment but a good moment of reality, where Babs looks at the progress of one animator's work, but the animator doesn't comply with her wishes all to get a cheap laugh in. But the joke's on him as this of course this causes Babs to also lose her crap.

And Babs has a right to act this way, as she is an animated director, and the project is hers and two of her friends. Like with any production anyone involved that works for you must under contract comply with your orders otherwise well you're off the project. It's also understandable like with myself when I make a movie, write, or any other creative project, no outside interference is allowed, it's my way or the highway that's my policy.

Alright the movie, it's a movie alright but I'll just say it's not for the academies. It's also strangely prolific as this is a film that takes place on a Titanic like cruise liner as James Cameron's "Titanic" came out just about six years later. The film let's just say makes that disaster movie look like a quiet sailboat ride on the beach as the film Babs, Buster, and Plucky made is a disaster in more ways than one and I just love every minute of it.

We can see this film was just this messy mish mash of different ideas and genres which were all blended to make a smoothie, that maybe wasn't the best mixture but still tasted interesting.

You have Babs character doing the Vivian Leigh impersonation, Buster whom is the typical buffed up action hero and Plucky whom is this Shakespearean like character. I won't say anything more than that as this is one of those films you just must see to believe and laugh your head off too. It's no masterpiece but it's a piece of entertainment.

Rating: 4 stars.
