Delightful Silliness
olympicator26 August 2022
This is a series of short films featuring toys that come to life and do silly things while in the back of cars. The main character is Travis, a monster-ish thing with an uncanny resemblance to Domo-Kun. He has suction cups on his hands that he can use to climb the window, and he has a dog named Constantine. His friends in other cars include a Goth doll named Kawaii, a robot named MC Speaker, a Panda named Panda 8, and three wrestlers known collectively as The Vandross.

Travis acquires items such as a paddleball, a TV, a boat, a yo-yo, a toy car with race tracks, and experiments with them. I don't know where these things come from, and I don't care. There's no speaking, no plot, hardly any lesson or point to it. It borrows elements from Toy Story, and like I said Travis feels like a copy of Domo - bit torso with no head, big mouth but never speaks, monstrous yet adorable, super curious about things.

It's the kind of show we could all use once in a while. It doesn't try to be any more than it is, and I think it actually manages to be a lot more pleasant and imaginative than some of the other cartoons we get these days (i.e. The Angry Birds Movie). I am very glad they made this show.
