The Craftsman: Creating the Craftsman (2021)
Charming, interesting, and enjoyable!
What a charming episode! I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. It was interesting to watch the process of restoration of the beautiful trolley, and Eric's stories touched my heart. This episode was heartwarming. Eric's love for his family and community are clear, and it is beautiful to see someone enjoy their craft so much. I was fascinated by the historic machines he uses, and his knowledge of the craft, yet his attitude is humble. The shots and angles are beautifully done.
I look forward to seeing more episodes of this endearing show. I can tell that Eric's work is a labor of love. Beautiful show so far!
SpongeBob SquarePants: Something Narwhal This Way Comes/C.H.U.M.S (2021)
Unfunny at best, offensive at worst...
I found both of these episodes very disturbing, but in two different ways. C. H. U. M was gross, though it's to be expected with the subject of chum at all.
However, I was not expecting the stereotypes to be as distasteful as they wound up being in Something Narwhal this Way Comes. The Narwhals were impolite, brash, gross, stupid, and annoying in all the typical negative stereotypes. I know this is, of course, just a cartoon, but some of the implications in this one were offensive in my opinion. I was sad to see this, though I admit I heavily dislike gross-out humor. It used to be used more sparingly than it is now.
Modern Spongebob can still be good and funny, but these both left me feeling more uncomfortable than amused. Spongebob is a favorite show of mine, but the second episode in this with the Narwhals is honestly one of the least funny ones I have seen.
The only positive thing I can really say is that I was glad that, in common Spongebob fashion, Plankton's plan being foiled was funny, and as usual for Plankton, there were some funny and witty lines he said.
Green Eggs and Ham (2019)
Amazing, one of the best adaptations and TV shows I've ever seen!
Absolutely amazing! I love the beautiful animation, the voice acting is stellar, the story is fun and fascinating, and had some unexpected twists, and the characters are very lovable and interesting. One of the most fun and interesting fiction titles I've watched to this day! I can't wait for the second season, I'm so excited! <3
