Shrek Is Love, Shrek Is Life (2014)
A Masterpiece to End All Masterpieces
As I'm currently writing this review, I am frothing at the mouth at what I am supposed to say. This story is a work of immaculate craftsmanship. A work that puts all other works to shame and makes their creators want to commit suicide, for they could never measure up to the almighty Shrek and his ogrepowering euphoria. This is a story so good that it manages to create new feelings and sensations that would not have been scientifically possible without the majesty that is Shrek and his pungent onion aroma.
Every line of dialogue, every shot, every emotion and expression, every story beat, is so carefully and articulately constructed that you find yourself creaming at even just the mere thought of them. It evolves you into a higher sense of being that had become so stunted and stagnant after years of evolution on this planet. Now that this exists, the evolution of our species is now rapidly accelerating at an alarming yet exciting rate as I currently speak. I can feel a new rod growing from within me as I talk about the beauty and artistry that is this story.
To call it a """"story"""" would be an insult to our new Lord and Savior Shrek. This is a tale that's as true as the earth itself. A biographical account that no religion could possibly give more spiritual enlightenment. Even the filthy and disgusting Morbites (Morbius followers), who have turned their backs on the Shrek faith, could never comprehend the beauty and truth of this story. It sickens me to think that there's """"people"""" out there who actively denounce the righteous truth of Shrek as nonsense and nothing more than an edgy and ridiculous 4Chan post that was capitalising on the meme landscape of Shrek. I say; "NAY!", YOU are the ones who are edgy and ridiculous! Your petulant and misguided insults have only served to anger our Shrek ogrelord! May Shrek have mercy on all our souls, for we are not worthy or deserving of his special onion juices.
Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken (2023)
I Implore You, *PLEASE* Go See This Movie
I write this in an effort to encourage anyone and everyone who might see this review to please to out and see this movie. As of the time I'm writing this, it to only made $5.2 million in it's domestic opening weekend, which is awful for a movie of this scale despite only costing $70 million to make, along with only having a 66% on Rotten Tomatoes, which I feel is doing this movie a real disservice.
Please, I implore you, go out and see this movie. Give it your time and give it your money. Even if you don't go see it in theaters, you should at least buy this movie on VOD rather than just waiting for it to go to streaming. Send Universal and DreamWorks the message that you want to see more movies like this.
Anyway, as for the actual movie itself, Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is a really great movie and I really liked it. It's more than likely not going to do down as a bona-fide DreamWorks classic like say The Prince of Egypt, Shrek 2, Rise of the Guardians or Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, nor is it nearly as good as DreamWorks' previous movie, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. But I feel this movie at least should go down as an underrated gem that will discover an audience overtime, like Megamind and The Road to El Dorado.
The movie has two core strengths; that being the animation and overall aesthetic, as well as the relationship between the main character Ruby and her mother Agatha.
For the animation, it is very reminiscent of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, as in it has very cartoony and bouncy animation along with having simplified and abstract character designs and locations. This gives the movie a very charming, vibrant and expressive feel to it that really endears you to this world and it's characters. It embraces that this is animation and has fun with it.
Ruby herself is a very likeable and endearing character. You connect with her struggle between both finding out who she is and trying to live a normal life. The bond between her and her mother Agatha is the emotional core of the movie and it's one that really carries it through. This works in part not only due to Agatha own conflict, but also the affectionate and nuanced voice performance given by Toni Collette of all people, who really sells the bond between Agatha and Ruby during the more emotional scenes.
If there's one thing that DreamWorks does really well, it's the story of the outcast and finding one's place in the world. From Shrek, to Megamind, to Kung Fu Panda, to even The Prince of Egypt when you really think about it. It's something that's common with many of their movies and it's often times why they work so well, and Ruby Gillman is no different. Two other things that DreamWorks also does very well is their soundtracks and their implementation, as well as the third act climax. Once again, this movie is no different. The movie not only has a great soundtrack that's inseparable from the movie itself, but also has a very engaging climax thanks in part due to the aforementioned song implementation.
As for faults with the movie, well admittedly, this movie isn't particularly funny. It has it's chuckleworthy moments, mainly because of it's animation along with the sea captain character, but overall, this movie's comedy isn't that great. The movie also has it's cringey moments that can be contributed to this being a teenager's story, which younger audiences might connect with, but as for adults, these moments may be alienating. The movie also has a trope that's present in many recent Disney movies such as Encanto, Turning Red and Strange World. That being, generational trauma. If you're sick of this trope, this movie might not be for you. But as it stands, I think it works very well.
All in all, Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is a very sweet, heartfelt and earnest movie that while not without it's faults, could prove to be a delightful experience if you give it a chance. As I've said before, this movie's not projected to do well financially and isn't doing too hot critically either. Please give this movie your time and money at the theaters, or even buying this movie through VOD, rather than just waiting to watch via streaming.
It deserves your time and attention.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)
An Improvement on the First Film in Nearly Every Way
When the first live-action Sonic Movie came out, it was met with relatively positive reception, despite all the controversy surrounding the initial design of Sonic in the first trailer, and the redesign that came soon after. I would say that it was a pretty good film overall, but it was sorely and distinctly lacking in the spirit and vibe of the Sonic franchise it was based on. It felt more like a standard, corporate-friendly road-trip movie that just so happened to have Sonic and Jim Carrey as Robotnik in it. It felt like it was held back and not being given the full potential to be something truly special. But if nothing else, it set up the universe and what's to come quite well, and could leave for more exciting adventures for future films to follow.
I am pleased to report that Sonic Movie 2 is a distinct and noticeable improvement from the first film. What was lacking in the original, is being replaced here, and what worked in the original, is made even better here.
This film embraces and captures the spirit and aesthetic of the games, whilst still having that Hollywood family-friendly veneer that the first one had, but without the corporatisation. The introduction of Knuckles and Tails in this movie already puts this movie in a distinct advantage, but the fact that these two are the best they've ever been written for over a decade is the icing on the cake. Knuckles is finally back to his badass, threatening persona that was established in Sonic 3, while still having the goofier and more gullible aspects of his character intact. Idris Elba does such a great job in capturing the essence of Knuckles, while also giving his own take that feels distinctly like Idris himself, with much of his charisma and endearing qualities as an actor shining through. Tails is also done quite well, much of that is down to the actual voice actress for the games themselves, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, coming back to voice Tails here in the film. But also because his dynamic with Sonic as sort of a little brother figure is really quite endearing and cute, when it's actually shown. He makes for an engaging third wheel in the rivalry between Sonic and Knuckles.
Speaking of which, the rivalry between Sonic and Knuckles is undoubtedly one of the best qualities of this film. Their development from enemies to friends is done very well and organically, and very much reflects the events of the games, while also giving compelling narrative context as to why they end up rivals, and why Knuckles eventually has a change of heart, that a game from the early 90s can't quite capture, at least not in this way.
As for other positive qualities, Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik shines brighter than ever in this movie. In the first movie, it felt like he was somewhat held back compared to the Carrey that we know and love from the 90s. Whereas in this film, he gets to go more all-out and embrace the chaotic and loveable Doctor that we know and love from the games, while also injecting the antics and manic nature of his performances that we know Carrey for.
As he is a human character, let's talk about the human characters in this film. In the first film, they were more of a necessity to move the plot along and for someone to have Sonic to bounce off of, with Tom especially. While I them fine in the first film, at the end of the day, they're not what I take away from Sonic as a franchise. But here, they're actually more fun and likeable than they were in the first film, and despite appropriately having less screen-time than our anthropomorphic heroes, they ironically serve more of a purpose and relevance to the actual plot than even the otherwise human-focused film had. Rachel was especially an improvement, as she's genuinely hilarious. Tom and Sonic's relationship here feels more poignant and compelling as a result, as the themes of the film are made apparent.
The action is done particularly well here, and while it was nicely done in the first film, this films nearly blows the first movie's action out of the water. As it embraces the more game-ey aspects of it's source material, the action takes a noticeable step-up, as we have plenty of exciting scenarios this time around that feel very much like Sonic.
All that being said though, this movie does have flaws, and overall, I still don't think it's necessarily a truly great film. For one thing, the pacing is a mixed bag here. If about 10-15 minutes of the runtime was removed from this movie, it would feel like a much tighter experience, with one subplot in particular really not needing to be featured in the film involving the wedding, especially because it doesn't go anywhere afterwards, even if that was fun on it's own merits. The editing and pacing of this film really doesn't let some emotional moments sit with you quite as well you would like to, resulting in some scenes that still work well enough, but also kinda feel rushed and somewhat wasted potential. While I praised Tails earlier as being a third wheel for this movie, that's also sort of a problem. The brotherly dynamic of Sonic and Tails really doesn't feel as prominent as it should be, and mostly any and all development between the two ends at a certain point early midway into the film. Often times, Tails feels like he's there more for exposition than he is necessarily to be an engaging character in his own right, and that really sucks. It feels like the filmmakers' priorities weren't straight here, like they just wanted to make a Sonic Vs. Knuckles movie rather than a Sonic & Tails movie.
Also, if you didn't like the first film, or just don't have any real attachment to Sonic whatsoever, you likely won't be won over here. However, if you did like the first film, or are attached to the lore, characters, and spirit of the Sonic franchise, this films should definitely please you, moreso than the previous movie. At the end of the day, while it's far from perfect, this movie more than justifies a cinematic universe for this franchise, and I'm very hopeful that we'll get to see more characters from the games get represented, like Blaze, Silver, Cream, the Chaotix, Rouge, Omega, and so on. I would love nothing more than my childhood franchise to get the love and mainstream attention that I've craved for so long as it is, rather than something that it's not, and this potential cinematic universe that's being set up here is likely the biggest chance of that happening. Hopefully, for all our sakes, and for the filmmakers' sakes, they don't screw it up.
Here's to Sonic Movie 3 and the Knuckles spin-off series!
Back to the Outback (2021)
This Movie is Genuinely Way Better Than it Has Any Right to Be...
When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I was quite interested. It looked like a very cute and fun movie that would be a very easy watch, with some occasional moments of heart and sweetness here and there, but nothing too significant either. And yeah, in some ways, it does match what I was expecting... but it also goes way harder than it needs to, and I really appreciate that.
On the surface, the movie may seem like disposable fun, but underneath, is a movie with such a sweet and heartfelt story that makes you really care about it's characters. Much of that is down to how adorable the character designs themselves are, but also because they each have likable, memorable, and all-around pleasant personalities, with the animation giving a lot of expression and life that makes you want to take in every bit of them, as well as great voice acting. So when something bad is happening to them or opens up about themselves (Like Jackie, the mother figure of our heroes, gets taken away after a misunderstanding with Chaz's son, or when Maddie sings her mother's lullaby to her new family), you really start to feel for them, and the movie allows for many emotional moments to unfold, that not only serve the nuanced message of not judging people solely by their appearance, but also gives the characters depth, and motivation for why they do what they do.
It's hard to fully describe, but I think to illustrate my point, I should talk about the "villains." When the trailer first came out, the villains, Chaz and Chazzy, seemed like just a bunch of two-dimensional and goofy antagonists that don't have any real care for animals. But as it turns out, Chaz is not some malicious force that only exists to make life harder for our heroes, but a person that is merely only doing his job, despite the fact that he's exploiting the animals being much more dangerous than they actually are. Something worth noting is his relationship with Maddie, the protagonist of the movie. He's raised her for as long as she was born, and Maddie loves him unconditionally. So when she finds out she's being exploited for how supposedly dangerous she is, she is heartbroken over how her own master could do this to her. But again, this isn't malicious on Chaz's part, he just doesn't see the animals for more than what they are. But he also has a very touching relationship with his son, who I thought was just gonna be a dumb, funny sidekick character that just tags along with the villain. But it turns out that him and his father have a very touching and sweet relationship. It shows that Chaz is far from two-dimensional or evil, and despite the fact that he's lied to his own son about the life he's lived, he still very much cares about him, and he's still not exactly incompetent at his job either.
Another thing worthy of note is the humour. It's just so funny. It's very witty, with plenty of absurd scenarios, and has a lot of energy. Again, I can't quite nail down exactly why it's so funny, but still, it just manages to make the movie so much more entertaining, and it comes just when it needs to.
All and all, this movie is considerably better than I was honestly expecting. I was expecting, at the very least, a cute and fun little movie, but also not exactly great either. But it went above and beyond that. Although it's story has been told in numerous different ways in the past and is generally quite predictable, that doesn't make the ride any less emotional or engaging. I genuinely hope this movie gets nominated for Best Animated Feature, because lord knows it deserves it in my opinion.
Kid Cosmic (2021)
Another Animated Home Run for Netflix - and Craig McCracken As Well
Anyone who calls themselves a fan of animation, particularly television animation, should know of the name "Craig McCracken". He, along with the likes of Genndy Tartakovsky, Lauren Faust, Butch Hartman, Rob Renzetti, and Seth MacFarlane, helped shape an entire generation of cartoons fans on the small screen. He's best known for creating shows such as The Powerpuff Girls, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, and Wander Over Yonder. He has since taken his talents elsewhere to the streaming world with the help of Netflix, with his new show, Kid Cosmic.
Kid Cosmic is probably yet another one of my favourite Netflix animated shows, alongside Hilda, Castlevania, Love, Death + Robots, and Green Eggs and Ham. While I may not necessarily held it in the same regard as those aforementioned shows, it doesn't mean what we have here isn't already great as is. This show has pretty much everything requires to make an animated show successful. A lovable cast of characters, an emotionally satisfying story and character arcs, clever writing and comedy, resonant and effective themes, and great animation.
Let's start off with the characters. You have Kid, who is quite a handful. I won't lie, in the first couple of episodes, Kid was a mildly annoying character. His energetic and often arrogant and entitled behaviour and how much he antagonises certain characters could often be grating. But at the same time, the show knows how far to pull it back, and still give Kid moments of development and nuance to his demeanor. So while you will need a certain degree of patience with his character, it isn't to the point where he's downright likeable or unsympathetic. At the end of the day, he's just a kid who wants to prove himself, and the show is empathetic and understanding of his struggles, so in turn, we are too. Around the end of the first half of the show, you start to really care and empathise with Kid, and you want to root for him to prove his worth. He slowly matures over the course of the show, and becomes more and more endearing and empathetic as the show goes on, even as early as the first episode, as we're given glimpses into why he is the way he is. Overall, he's a great protagonist that you can really get behind, even with all the annoyances that he starts out with, because without them, his arc wouldn't be nearly as effective.
You also have the side characters, like Jo, Rosa, Papa G, Tuna Sandwich, and Stuck Chuck. All of them are really likeable and well-developed in their own right. They each have distinct and memorable personalities with you can connect with. My favourite of which is Rosa, who is just downright adorable and the animation gives her a lot of appeal and quirkiness that you'd totally expect from a toddler. She's just an absolute bundle and joy and energy that you can't help but love. My least favourite character of the group is Tuna Sandwich, mostly because most of his character is just him meowing whenever he sees the future, and can't really interact with the rest if the cast in a way that would be super fun or interesting. That is, until he actually finds his voice with the device that Chuck gives him. When he gets it, he turns into a character that really becomes his own, and it was something that was really welcomed and gave his character a new dimension. There are other characters too that serve their own purpose, and they're effective and fun in what they're used for, but in the end, it's the main set of characters that we follow throughout the majority of the series that are the standouts.
The humour and writing in general is just great. There is a surprising amount of dark and edgy jokes that I'm kinda shocked that the show was able to get away with, especially for a kid's show in this day and age. The way the show is able to juggle tones in that respect is very admirable and skillful in that respect. One joke in particular is this extremely dark punchline revolving around Rosa where she throws space monkeys out into orbit and finds them "sleeping", but Papa G comforts her by telling her that they are indeed sleeping, creating a scene that's not only hilarious in how dark it is, but also wholesome and sweet and how it portrays Rosa and Papa G as characters, all in just a few seconds. This is extremely clever and thoughtful writing that you wouldn't see in many other shows of this kind. There's also a joke with a shot showing Tuna Sandwich walking on the road all the way to edge of the screen that lasts at least over a minute. That's some Andy Kaufman trolling right there, and it's so hilarious how long the scene drags out with this one single shot. You'd have to have a lot of faith and confidence to pull a joke like that off, and it certainly wasn't wasted. Beyond that, the comedy of this show is something truly special, and is something that adults will definitely appreciate in how clever and witty and it often is.
The action is also something that's really worth commending. While the moment-to-moment is fast-paces and exciting on it's own, it's really the vast amount of creative and interesting ways the characters use their powers that really sell the action, and even to their development as characters too. A particular standout is with Kid, where he steals all the rings to take on the alien invaders called in by Chuck, and seriously struggles with how much power he has. But this also allows for a wide amount of creativity and variety in how he handles these powers, which is also telling of his development not only as a hero, but as a character. The actions constantly feels engaging and unpredictable as a result of the amount of ways these powers are used by the characters, and I really gotta give credit to the people who came up with and storyboarded all these different scenarios.
The animation and voice acting are also worthy of note. The animation itself has this stilted, choppy quality that isn't anything like Foster's or Wander, but as a result, it creates something that feels distinct and unique, and gives the world a sense of character and believability that you wouldn't get otherwise with smoother animation, while also paying tribute to the comics it was inspired by. It's kinda like Into the Spider-Verse in that sense. The voice acting has a lot of personality, and each voice actor really gives their characters a memorable performance and identity. They're part of the reason these characters are as good as they are.
That's pretty much the gist of why this show is so good in the first place. There's orher aspects to consider too, such as the soundtrack, the lovely colour palette, the more serialised approach to storytelling compared to McCracken's other works, the little details with the animation, and so on, but that's as far as I'm willing to divulge into with this series. Bottom line - Kid Cosmic is a great, well done effort by McCracken and his team. It's a show filled with a heart, passion, energy, and an odd sense of wholesomeness that you wouldn't see the likes of in other shows like Hilda or Green Eggs and Ham. It's a wholesomeness of it's own breed, that's brought out by it's innocent and resonant themes of what it means to be a hero, but most importantly, the comradery and almost family-like relationship the five characters have with each other. It's almost like Guardians of the Galaxy in that way.
Anyway, just go watch it. McCracken and his team deserve at least that much. This show deserves a long and prosperous future, and I have faith that Season 2 will be just as good, if not better than last season, especially with the interesting shift in perspective over to Jo, which I can see giving this show a long life-span if they decide to give each main character of the cast their own season to develop them, which would definitely be really cool.
Green Eggs and Ham (2019)
Awesome Adaptation - Even Better Than the Original Book
Dr. Seuss hasn't exactly had a great track record when it comes to his modern Hollywood adaptations. Sure, you can definitely make a case for the Blue Sky Studios film Horton Hears a Who, as well as maybe Ron Howard's How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but those are more the exceptions rather than the rule.
But every once in a while, you get something as awesome as this Netflix show. Hands down, the best adaptation yet. And yes, that includes the Chuck Jones Grinch adaptation. And I dare even say, that it's better than the book it was based on. Don't get me wrong, though, the original book will always have a special place in literature as a classic, as it should. But this show just raises the bar of quality to a whole other level when it comes to it's own source material.
It's funny. This adaptation has many of the things that would sink most other modern Seuss adaptations; Pop culture references, some adult humour, additional morals, additional subplots and characters, not much rhyming, as well as changing the overall source material. In fact, out of all the modern Seuss adaptations, this one has the most drastically changed of them all, to the point where the original plot of the book isn't even there. Or at least, serves as more of an additional subplot and theme than the main plot.
Yet despite that, or maybe even *because* of that, it's why the show is so good in the first place, and even improves upon the book.
Let's get the obvious out of the way; This show looks absolutely phenomenal, both from an animation perspective and production perspective. The show has a lovely use of colours throughout it's run, and completely captures the Seuss aesthetic, while also taking liberties with it. The animation is the incredibly smooth and extremely expressive. It gives the characters a lot of life and personality, as well as an endearing and memorable quality to all of them. My favourites of which being E.B., Michellee, and Gluntz.
Speaking of characters, let's talk about the overall story. The story, though clichéd and predictable in many ways, is nonetheless extremely well-told, engaging, and heartfelt. Many of the characters are really well-developed, especially Guy, Sam, E.B., and Michellee, and all of them are very likeable and memorable, part of the reason being is because of the aforementioned animation, but also because they are legitimately well-written in their own right. The pacing is very strong throughout the series, it's freaking adorable, the voice cast is terrific, the music is wonderful, and it knows where to be faithful, and where to take liberties. As a result, you are left with an adaptation that honours Seuss in it's own unique way, but also stands as a genuinely great show in it's own right.
If you're a purist when it comes to Seuss however, you'll more than likely hate this show. But if you're more open to the idea of a Seuss adaptation taking drastic liberties with it's source material, then this show should be right up your alley. It's good old-fashioned storytelling at it's finest, and is innocent, charming, and wholesome to it's core.
Love, Death & Robots (2019)
One of the Most Creative and Innovative Animated Shows in History - And Also One of the Most Necessary
This show is a blessing from Netflix, Tim Miller and David Fincher themselves. They have given us a show that is so uniquely creative and bizarre with the types of stories they tell with the different animation styles and aesthetics. It's like a mix of Black Mirror and Heavy Metal.
Each short is highly different from the other in some way, shape or form. Whether it be in animation, tone, music, characters, and story. Most of the episodes themselves are highly enjoyable, and even the worst ones are still competently written and interesting in their own way. You're going to likely find one or two shorts that will at least match your tastes and resonate with you, and I think that's a wonderful thing. It's generally a matter of preference with this show.
That being said, I think it's time someone finally addressed some of the issues people have with this show, particularly from a political standpoint. You have one side that claims that this show is sexist garbage, and the other side that says it's pandering garbage.
Don't listen to these people. They are the very kind of people that merely only seek to destroy entertainment just because it doesn't 100% agree with their stances, or that they'll look into anything with a political lens and get offended, not matter how non-political it actually may be. Just simply look at the show objectively, and come up with your own opinion from there. Don't just dismiss something just because it has a message you don't agree with from a political standpoint, and simply take it from a general point of view. You also need some pretty thick skin and a knack for explicit imagery if you're going to want to get the most of this show, as there's also plenty of complaints regarding the blood, sex, and gore of this show. Those people are merely only complaining for the sake of complaining.
With all that said and done, here are my favourite and least favourite shorts from this special gem of a show:
18 - The Secret War (6/10) (Fantastic animation and attention to detail, wonderful sound design, and a cool climax and ending, but the characters aren't all that interesting or compelling, as most of them barely have any personality or development, with one marginal exception being the lead and his son.)
17 - When the Yogurt Took Over (6/10) (Unique and funny animation style, with great narration by Maurice LaMarche, but the social commentary feels like it barely says anything of substance or worth, with how short this one is, as well as just how absurd the whole concept is. Doesn't feel all that fleshed out to be compelling.)
16 - The Witness (7/10) (Interesting story with a mind-bending twist ending, though the animation and visual style makes it feel very uncomfortable to sit through on some level, with how uncanny valley it all looks and feels. Impressive nonetheless.)
15 - Helping Hand (7/10) (Well-done story with lifelike animation, a compelling lead, and an intense and cringe-inducing climax, albeit in a good way.)
14 - The Dump (7/10) (Interesting watch - funny characters with a dirty-looking, yet interesting visual style, with a weird, yet fun ending, but very lightweight overall.)
13 - Ice Age (7/10) (Nice watch - interesting break from all the animation, with two likeable and fun leads, and an interesting theme of humanity and destruction conveyed through a living civilisation inside a fridge, though not much more than that.)
12 - Alternate Histories (7/10) (Fun watch - bit too repetitive with the humour, but it works well anyway with how insane and loony it gets as it goes on.)
11 - Beyond the Aquila Rift (8/10) (Incredible animation that looks lifelike, a dark, unravelling story that reaches a twisted, yet memorable climax and ending, and an incredible build-up with the song choice - fantastic idea.)
10 - Fish Night (8/10) (Unique animation style, wonderful music, and a compelling story and characters, along a with bizarre, yet sad ending.)
9 - Shape-Shifters (8/10) (Compelling lead characters, interesting themes, creative premise that takes itself seriously, and an awesome climatic battle.)
8 - Sonnie's Edge (8/10) (Amazing animation and visuals - well-told story with an interesting protagonist, nihilistic and dark themes, cool music, and an adrenaline-pumping fight between beasties.)
7 - Lucky 13 (9/10) (Really great and emotional story with a likeable and compelling lead, intense and gripping action, good dialogue, and absolutely stunning photo-realistic animation.)
6 - Zima Blue (9/10) (Wonderful and thought-provoking story with very memorable stylised animation and backgrounds, with great narration by our two leads.)
5 - Suits (9/10) (Well told story with compelling characters, building tension, great action, impactful sound design, and a great climax, with a very interesting twist ending.)
4 - Blindspot (9/10) (Incredibly fun - Cool designs, fun characters, awesome action, and stylised animation.)
3 - Sucker of Souls (10/10) (Extremely entertaining - Beautiful and expressive animation, good characters, fun action, and great dialogue.)
2 - Good Hunting (10/10) (Beautiful story with likeable characters, though-provoking themes, incredible animation and imaginative lore and setting.)
1 - Three Robots (10/10) (This one absolutely deserves a whole sitcom of it's own - Fantastic humour, clever and interesting social commentary without being too preachy, and lovable characters brimming with personality - the little baby monitor robot especially is one of the most adorable things I've ever seen in my whole entire life! X3)
