I don't ever write reviews but if this show doesn't get more seasons, I'm not sure how I will live the rest of my life.
I've been a fan of Strange Planet for a few years now, even bought the book, so I was super excited to check out the show. It's so fun and lighthearted, it's becoming the only high point in this train wreck of a summer.
No, it's not exactly the same as the comic, but I don't care. I can enjoy the clever writing and hilariously drawn characters in a multitude of ways, and neither way detracts from the other.
The voice actors are all excellent and as someone who can be totally thrown off a cartoon by bad voices, I'm actually glad to hear some familiar voices and I'm enjoying all of the new ones I'm starting to learn. I will say that the theme song is screaming out for a rewrite by Owl City, but that would be a great upgrade for season 2.
If you're looking for a clever, funny, different kind of vibe for some light evening viewing, this show will perfectly fill all those requirements. Younger children probably won't understand the dialogue, but I'd say it would be enjoyable for everyone. And that's hard to find in media these days.
Gratitude for this delightful show. Gratitude a lot.
