Review: Animaniacs (2020)

 

Animaniacs (2020) is a reboot of the original Animaniacs from the 1990's.  I grew up watching the original run of the show.  It was one of my favorite animated shows back then.  I believe I didn't miss one episode if I'm not mistaken!  I loved it that much growing up.  Now it's back for 2 seasons.  It is on Hulu and I highly recommend all fans to get Hulu (it's cheaper than Netflix) in order to watch it.  So far it's the Warner brothers (and the Warner sister Dot) and Pinky & the Brain that are back.  Will they have any other characters (like Chicken Boo, Slappy Squirrel, Rita, etc.) come back?  I don't know.  Maybe they will in the second season.

 

So far I only watched one episode.  What are my thoughts?  I thought it was extremely good.  They slightly redesigned things and the color is different from the original run of the show.  There's a few minor details they changed for the 2020 version.  You'll need to watch it in order to see.  I've also noticed the voice actors' voices have aged a bit.  You can tell with Rob Paulsen, his Yakko voice has aged.  However, his Pinky voice has not changed at all.  Dot's voice sounds the same from the original run.  Wakko sounds very aged.   Brain's voice sounds very aged as well.  Is that a bad thing?  No, of course not.  I expected them to sound aged.

It's an excellent reboot.  I highly recommend it.  It will appeal to old fans and new fans.  I was pleasantly surprised.  I was happy that it did recapture some of the magic of the original run.  That was awesome.  Watch the official trailer above and I hope it'll encourage to you watch it!  You will not be disappointed!  Unless you're my friend Brian, he couldn't get through the first episode!  Ah well!

Rating: 5/5

SpongeBob SquarePants is not gay!

First of all, I'm queer.  In case I'm offending LBGTQIA+ people, I'm on your side!  Second of all, 2020 is a fucked up year.  OK, that's out of the way.  I'm 100% sure that SpongeBob SquarePants is not homosexual/gay.  Why?  The creator Stephen Hillenburg (R.I.P.) has stated that he is asexual.  This is basically the same stuff with Bert and Ernie being gay.  They're simply not gay.  They're puppets.  SpongeBob is a cartoon sponge.  He is not gay whatsoever.  Nickelodeon is only appeasing to the LGBTQIA+ crowd and doing it for the money.

That image above sums it up perfectly.  Yeah, Stephen Hillenburg would not approve of this at all.  SpongeBob as a gay character is not canon.  Do not treat it as canon.  If I have offended any of my fellow gay dudes, good!  I have nothing else to say about this.

Solar Opposites

Today's blog is about an upcoming animated series called Solar Opposites.  It was created by Justin Roiland.  You may know him as one of the co-creators of the hit animated series Rick and Morty.  Solar Opposites is going to be on Hulu.  I'm going to share my thoughts on this upcoming animated series.

I watched a trailer of it on Facebook and I thought it was pretty good.  The show definitely has potential.  It's has a Rick and Morty vibe to it and that's no surprise since Justin Roiland created this animated series.  Eight episodes have been made so far.  The first episode will be available on Hulu on May 8.  It's basically about aliens from a better world who come to live in Earth and they take refuge in middle America.  They decide whether it's cool or not.

If you are unaware of Solar Opposites, here's a trailer of it.  Watch it!  Sadly, I don't have Hulu anymore.  Whenever I do get the opportunity somehow to watch it, I will watch it!  I like Justin Roiland and his animation.  I know it won't disappoint.

Oh and don't forget to watch the sixth episode of the fourth season of Rick and Morty tonight!  Click here for info on it!  Honestly, I've only watched the first episode of season four so far.  I'll have to catch up by watching the others I missed, then I'll watch the sixth episode and other episodes!
