The Groovenians (2002 TV Short)
4/10
A parody cartoon pilot... I still don't enjoy it much though.

This pilot is just boring.

Normally I would give a summary of either the pilot or go into detail about the series, but this pilot gives me a headache. So I'll just say the characters are unlikable and the plot is stupid. The animation is horrible as well. Normally I have a soft spot for stuff like that, but I honestly cannot recommend this to anyone.

Edit: I'm going to raise the score from a 2 to a 4 because, while I still stick to what my original review said, I think that there a some small redeeming factors.

First, the show attempts to have a somewhat parodic view of artistic. Second, the show also has a somewhat parodic look at how artists see people who disagree with their art and lifestyle. Third, the animation, which basically stop motion CGI, is (I guess) a somewhat artistic choice rather than bad style. Fourth, the character who mocks artist does sing a song about money, which (I guess) was used as a ironic joke. Fifth, while the character, background, and prop designs weren't the best, I think that went with the idea of the show being a parody of certain artistic lifestyles. Sixth, the show is made by an actual artist. Finally, I find it amusing that an artist decided to make a parodical cartoon of an extreme stereotypical lifestyle some artist actually have.

So, in conclusion, if you realize that the show is a parody, it can be more enjoyable. In addition, while I still didn't find the show that enjoyable, I can still see how some people can.
