Animation Renaissance
As we end the decade, I wanted to look back on my favorite cartoons of this Animation Renaissance we’ve gone through. Here are my top ten favorite cartoons of the 2010s in no order!
The Big Three Join Streaming Wars
For an entire generation of kids, the Big Three of animation were the ones who made the best cartoons on TV. As a result, the news of the trio joining the streaming wars was big news on social media. As a fan of shows made by all three of these entities, I couldn’t resist giving my two cents. So, I’ll be giving my thoughts and opinions on each company, their streaming service, and how I think they’ll do.
Welcome to the Owl House
This year at NYCC, Disney fans got a first look at their upcoming cartoon, Owl House. From what’s been shown, it’s a cross between Gravity Falls and Star vs The Forces of Evil. I may not bet at NYCC, but that’s not stopping me from giving my thoughts on this new show!
Moonvasion Ends a Season of DuckTales
This season of DuckTales has had its ups and downs, but in the final act, they managed to rally. While the whole “Moonvasion” thing seems a little stupid, it’s true purpose shines through in the season finale: giving the fans the kind of epic adventure we’d expect from the show. We get a who’s who as many of the show’s characters rally together as the Duck Family faces their biggest challenge yet!
Beware the Bombie!
DuckTales Season 2, Episode 23 Review/Recap While I enjoy most of the stories from this season of DuckTales, I think this week’s batch of new episodes are among its best. … Continue Reading Beware the Bombie!
GlomTales!
When Disney decides to take an intentionally bad version of the theme song to one of their shows and use it for an episode, you know it’s going to be good.
“Okay we ran out of budget, but kids age six to ten will love it! Glomtales!”
Timephoon of Doom!
After last week ended with a bust for Ducktales, this week makes up for it with what I consider one of the best episodes of the season! Time travel: it’s always going to be crazy!
The Golden Armory of Cornelius Coot
Well, after that awesome episode on Thursday, we’re back to one that isn’t as awesome. Since it’s Ducktales, though, it’s still good. Even the bad episodes are fun to watch, especially with a story that screams “classic Ducktales” like Cornelius Coot.
Lena’s Nightmares Come True
Try and spot all the pop culture shout outs in this episode, because this dream episode has several.
Doofus Drake’s Birthday Party
This episode of Ducktales s a family episode that shows off the bonds between parent and child; or parent figure and child. Or in the case of Doofus Drake, the lack of one.
The Royal Protector, A Dark Star vs. Fan Fic
I have been having a blast writing about the different fan works for Star vs. The Forces of Evil this week. Even if people don’t read them now, it’s been as fun writing about these works as it was reading them. This next one, though, is going to be darker than any of the other ones I’ve done. Marco Diaz becomes an unlikely hero in The Royal Protector.
A Week of Star
Hey everyone, Jay here with a special announcement. As you know, I’ve been busy lately with my posts on Amphibia and Sword Art Online. Now that at they’re done for … Continue Reading A Week of Star
A Bitter Reunion
I’m going to keep this introduction brief as I want to dive right into the season one finale of Amphibia. The opening season saw Anne grow from being an outcast into Wartwood’s protector and hero. The reunion of Anne and Sasha, though, will be one of the toughest moments of the girl’s life.
Anne’s Frog of the Year
Anne’s journey in Amphibia is about to take a drastic turn in this episode as she becomes Frog of the Year. First, though, a scary story!
Anne Learns Some New Skills
It’s nice to see a show take the time it needs to round out its secondary cast, but it shouldn’t lose focus on the main character. In this episode of Amphibia, we first see Anne show off some mad skills while learning valuable lessons about teamwork and effort.
Maddie is the New Janna
We only have three episodes left in the first season of Amphibia, and the show’s covered almost every primary and secondary character on the show. They even covered Wally in that awesome Moss Man episode. The only one left to get time in the spotlight is Maddie, the baker’s daughter that got engaged to Sprig. Since Sprig likes Ivy, though, he’s been avoiding Maddie. Time for an awkward break-up and curse!
