Conker: Live and Reloaded (2005 Video Game)

Completely stepping-on original game.

[1/10 · 17 May 2017]

Okay, i'm not one of those spammer bots, don't worry ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). Do you remember those times when small studios started to making 3D animated entertainment on shoe-string budget, and even though the graphics looked cheap, it still managed to amaze you when it turned into a fun well-crafted artistic piece ? And then, some years later a random producer decided to make a sequel on ten-times budget and it turned to be boring 'nd dull ? *cough*Hoodwinked*cough* Well Conker: Live & Reloaded is one of these cases. Even though the game is newer, the animation looks hideously artificial & inorganic. The timing and posing is awful (do you remember than rotation can be done in all 3 dimension and not just two ? Why is everyone facing so straight ?). The staging and pacing is not much better. The characters turned from interesting, dynamic and witty to boring, stereotypical and obnoxious (like your typical person on 9GAG). Oh, and to be precise it's not a sequel on it's own, it's just remake of the original with some more multiplayer (ignoring that original already had multiplayer in some cases). Plus for some reasons, developers were too lazy to add some cheats, although they were included in original.

The Lion Guard (2015–2019)

Weak,dated,depressing and forgettable. Joining elite club of crap.

Look,i don't hate minimalism. Sheep in the Big City,for example has very minimalist art,but everything must have some visible amount of effort and emotions put into. I have in common bad experience with reboots,Hasbro did very good with My Little Pony,Pound Puppies and Littlest Pet Shop. Sadly,that's all about it. Cartoon Network had big chance,the creator of Courage the Cowardly Dog submitted a new pilot 'Fog of Courage' which i loved,but i don't know why,Cartoon Network just had some feeling that Teen Titans Go! is much better reboot than John Dilworth could do,and they distanced of giving reboots of whatever to original creators. They just 'new' people. With reboots at this time,it's disappointment after disappointment for me (except Hasbro),for example Teen Titans Go!,Powerpuff Girls (2016),Inspector Gadget (2015),Care Bears,TMNT,Babar/Badou,and yes,even Lion Guard.

Let me just do a short review of this. Animation 2/10 - Cheap as hell Art 4/10 - It's OK,nothing special,but OK. Characters 1/10 - Who asked to make them act like Dora the Explorer ? WHO ? Story 2/10 - There's not much to say about this,just bland. Execution 2/10

Final verdict - It feels more like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Johnny Test rip-off than Lion King revival

My next hope for reboot - Hey Arnold! Jungle Movie And about Disney,i haven't seen a picture of production,but i haven't much hope for the Ducktales reboot. Though Rob Renzetti,the creator and executive producer of My Life as Teenage Robot is executive for the series. Keep in mind he is 12 years older now.

The Powerpuff Girls (2016–2023)

Oh...

This show is not terrible,but still it's bad. Why ? Simple,Craig McCracken and Lauren Faust,his wife do not work on this,but the major problem is,this doesn't have charm.

Do you know what is charm ? When a cartoon has charm,you feel heart-warmed when watching it,you feel with characters,and you still feel good even after ending credits. But no,this series is not made with love. This series is just another greedy money-cash,now which ruined Powerpuff Girls totally.

It's even worse than Dance Pantsed,i totally agree with it. And even the series is improving,first 20 episodes is out,and it's still same,lame cartoon with no redeeming quality whatsoever.

Not that i hate new cartoons. Twas Before Christmas and Powerpuff Girls Rule!!! were great! Littlest Pet Shop,Friendship Is Magic or We Bare Bears is nice too. But this is charmless. Like,even a 15-year old girl can make good animated short (watch Crowfolly's Overgrowth on Youtube if you want).

Not even mention how TERRIBLE are nowadays pilots. Oh my god,My Friend Pancake,what idea it is ? They're nothing,but experiments made by people,which hasn't any talent at all.

And to know i mean it for real,i watched three parodies of Powerpuff Girls. 2 of 3 were more entertaining than this reboot. Don't believe me ? You can search it yourself,it's currently from 'nigahiga' and 'fhilslife'.

This show is so bad,even the fact Kenn Navarro,creator of one of goriest,but most clever cartoon of Youtube,co-wrote a episode,cant save it. Just cancel this reboot already,or make it good! That's all.

And it looks like the show is even worse than it was on start. Maybe. And...i forgot. TWERKING! 3/10

Happy Tree Friends (2000–2016)

Gory but clever

[29 April 2016]

This is overall pretty good series. Some people just like how bloody it is and some thinks its retarded and evil. I actually found enjoyment in it,not because it's gory,but because it's cleverly written. Especially the 2006 TV series. Basically,it's about a bunch of animals who constantly dying in every episode (well,in most episodes). But if you look behind the all blood,you can see it's genially written and storyboarded. Most credit goes to Ken Navarro. This series has potential,it's pity it's become so cruel cartoon for adults,because it has potential to be a classic like was Powerpuff Girls and much more. Overall,it has good plot,shots and some episodes have even a idea.

And it's much better than most crap on Youtube (friend Annoying Orange or Dick Figures can say something about it...)

Babar and the Adventures of Badou (2010– )

Fail. Is CGI poorly-written preschool series the best they can do ?

[2/10 · 16 January 2016]

Disgrace to original. It is badly animated ? No What about teaching lessons ? Yes,some may So wheres the problem ? Problem is there - It is new school. Which means the plot is nothing special and story. It is,like original,about a elephant Babar and his friends. But the fact that is for preschool kids don't means,it must be retarded. I am disappointed of these new cartoons. The same problem as new Care Bears. And as all disappointing cartoons like Adventure Time,Regular Show,Clarence,Breadwinners. New cartoons fail on so many levels... Cant you just make an interesting plot ? As Courage the Cowardly dog has. The lighting is most annoying of all that. If all you cant replica 90s series,rather don't make anything. The only may old-like is We Bare Bears (god thanks for it). Do us a favor,and leave film. Forever.
