It Came From The Archives “Amphibia: Emotionally Different Cartoon”
Amphibia wants to make dark jokes and frog jokes, and it succeeds at both. Or at least that’s what the early episodes are about.

Centaurworld: A Mind-Breaking Mismatch
I don’t understand Centaurworld. It defies comprehension to such a degree I want to investigate creator interviews or production notes.
The Ghost And Molly McGee First Impression: An Absolute Delight
For better and not for the worst, The Ghost and Molly McGee is basically what you’d expect it to be. The first episode—which is all I’ve seen of it—is in the standard style of episodic comedy. But that’s not a complaint.
Amphibia: Emotionally Different Cartoon
Amphibia wants to make dark jokes and frog jokes, and it succeeds at both. Or at least that’s what the early episodes are about.
Kid Cosmic: Well-Worn Premise Skillfully Done
Kid Cosmic seems like the natural offspring of a few shows, and a few pieces of very prominent media.
Pixar Popcorn: An Absolute Delight
Each is about two minutes, give or take, and—I’m betting for budget or time reasons—it has no actually voiced characters. There’s just “reaction sounds” that could have easily been taken from an existing movie.
The Last Kids on Earth: Fun If A Little Shallow
Between Kipo and The Last Kids on Earth, the child-friendly apocalypse has become a subgenre. But that’s not a bad thing, especially when both shows have been stellar.
She-Ra And The Princesses of Power: Epic Fantasy Greatness
She-Ra is not only a good show, but perhaps a great one. It’s a child-friendly epic fantasy. Warring factions and ancient magic and large battles dominate its plot. It has a much closer feel to Avatar than Barbie, with good writing and strong characters.
Star Trek: Lower Decks: Could Be Worse, I Guess
Lower Decks Has Yet To Make Me Laugh The biggest issue with Lower Decks is that it’s not funny. Not at all. And, for a series supposed to be a comedy, that’s a brutal failure. You can tell where the show is supposed to be funny, where it intends to make you laugh, but it…
Glitch Techs: Men in Black, But Video Games
Glitch Techs Does Not Play Slow Games Glitch Techs proves to me that the new trajectory of animated shows is high energy motion and manic dialogue. It was jarring enough in DC Super Hero Girls, but this show takes it up to eleven. During the review-watching of Glitch Techs, I had to constantly rewind to hear…
Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir: A Classic 90’s Formula
Miraculous Has Some Miraculous Stuff To Show Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir is Sailor Moon, but for a modern audience, with surprisingly excellent CGI animation. I mean this comparison in almost every sense of the phrase, from the structure to the pacing, to the simple idea of it. Let me break down the…
Classic Cartoon Reviews: Invader Zim
Invader Zim: Something Dark And New In honor of the new movie, it seemed logical to go back and review the first episode of Invader Zim and see what got us to where we are now. To see if the show is as good as we all remember and worthy of the nostalgia. And, put…
