Just marathoned the new Home cartoon series. I really thought it was cute, and genuinely funny on occasion. It reminded me of their Kroods show in that it really surprised me; I expected it to be boring and poorly executed but then it turned out pretty great. Should I watch Peabody and Sherman, next? I hated the first episode, but I hated the first few episodes of Bojack too, and eventually learned to love it.
In the meantime, anyone else notice the overt reference to Rick and Morty? And I'm not talking about the fleeb.
can I skip the movie? for some reason the show looks a lot more appealing then the cgi movie
Evan Barnes
I was wondering why they would make a series of this movie but I saw that it's Netflix. They seam to run shows of movies that are average at best for some reason.
Asher Thompson
Home the movie was WAY better than I thought it would be. The previews made it looks like a typical "lost alien" movie.
It isn't. The aliens invade earth, take over, and force all humans into a refugee camp, basically. Tip is the only human in hiding to avoid this fate, and eventually befriends Oh. From there it is mostly predictable, but not at all what the previews looked like.
It is not necessary watching, but you will likely miss a couple in-jokes.
Jonathan Gray
Hey, Kroods was way better than it had any right to be. Better than any of the Shrek sequels, that's for sure. Better than Monsters vs Aliens, Megamind, and Despicable Me, too.

The movie isn't bad despite it's awkward three ending pacing

> Kroods > better than Megamind
whoa now user whoa.
I liked Kroods a lot as well but lets not spout irrational insanities like cavemen, here.

This is not the Voltron:LD thread and even then that show is not good at any means.
VLD is like if Paul J Smith went to Filmation after Walter Lantz closed down his studio, thats what VLD is like, this on the other hand is garbage.
Landon Gutierrez
I loved it too OP. Wish I could take screencaps. Some MILF might bring Sup Forums on board.
What was the reference?
Joshua Taylor
You're in the wrong topic.
Carter Collins
The book is better
Ryder Perez
There was a book? And 2 of those post were about Voltron:LD.
Kayden Taylor
Why do you think we're talking about Voltron? Fuck off.
Landon Jones
Yes

"Oh" was named "J lo" in the book

See & VLD is half assed at best, this is not. Ok then.
Brayden Evans
Boov were a lot more horrifying.
Wyatt Green
TIP'S TINY TITS
Luke Cruz
I'm hoping something weird happens to Tip in the second half of the season. Something on the level of the brain pumping from the movie.
Michael Cook
Just watched the first episode, Tip was a hideous deformed ragdoll in CGI form but she's cute enough here for me to watch the whole thing.
Jaxson Jenkins
It's funny how much more tolerable every character becomes in 2D.
Even Oh isn't aggravating.
Jacob Richardson
These characters look shitty imo
Juan Nelson
I'm numb to ultra simplified art style at this point, and in stills the fact that they're Flash puppets is glaring but it's pretty fluid for what it is (I believe this is a Titmouse production). All a matter of taste I suppose, I'm not a "CalArts boogeyman" memer
The Rick and Morty reference? That her arcade is "the most fun place in the multiverse."
Kayden Jenkins
Thurop Van Orman is an executive producer and a lot of incidental voices. That should count for something.
Kayden Ross
He also "developed for television" which basically means he was the co-creator
Jose Roberts
Will Home develop a similar following as that show that shall remain unnamed? Will fans call themselves "Homeys" and make OC Boov? Will Thurop Van Orman be forced to resign one day and cause a fracture in the fanbase?
Loved the book. It was way more funnier than the movie. Not that the movie wasn't cute but they could've done a whole lot more with it.
Parker Cruz
I literally storytimed this book a year ago.
Camden Green
I appreciate that it doesn't end on an abruptly dramatic cliffhanger like a lot of Dreamworks' shows have been lately.
Oliver Smith
This is only the first half of season one.
Jordan Hill
Well, you can never tell for sure. Croods managed to throw in a parody cliffhanger in its first half and Voltron has an actual cliffhanger in its first half too.
Adam Cruz
I can't tell if you seriously think that means that everyone should be aware of it
Parker Martinez
Bump.
Lucas Mitchell
If you're going to watch Peabody and Sherman, skip the first four episodes. The second episode has all the problems as the first and tries to do a plot (a character pretends to be another character and lampshades all their quirks and flaws) that should'nt be done during the second episode of a non mini-series show. The third episode wastes it's animation (some of the best in the series thus far) on a poorly written script full of gross out, annoying characters and plot holes. The fourth episode starts to improve but it still has a conflict fueled purely by characters that are overly stubborn/selfish, a bunch of gross out and Peabody being a complete idiot (he never tries to find a way to remove his handcuffs).
Thankfully, by episode five, things start to truly improve and it hits its stride between episodes seven and nine and season two is quite a bit better overall than the first season. Although I won't say it's exactly good, it's plots become passable, characters make less mind numbingly idiotic choices and the gross out is reduced, albeit is still present following the first season. Even if the epsiode aren't good writing wise, they're always near eye porn levels of gorgeous thanks to its fantastic art directing, diverse character designs and expressivity that surpasses even most frame by frame animated toons as of now.
As of now, the best episodes by far are Peabody's Parents, World Records, Secret Agent Sherman and Ruff Guyz. Also one more thing, everything changes in the season two finale.
Hunter Sullivan
Oh, it's time travel. If Doctor Who can fix the collapse of time and space on a semi-regular basis, Peabody surely can.
Justin Williams
Actually, due to circumstances I can't tell you due to spoilers, the current Peabody doesn't have the means of fixing the past by the end of the finale.
Jordan Diaz
I mean, those guys probably die, but the time travel story P&S they left behind can probably fix things and become the new prime P&S
Logan Butler
Thing is though, Grunion has the WABAC and the past P&S have no idea what happened to their current counterparts. I know because the show has at least four more seasons to go, they will survive but just possibly, the present will be screwed with for quite a while.
