Saturday Morning Cartoons: In Which I Begrudgingly Watched “Rick and Morty” and Ended up Liking it

Saturday Morning Cartoons is a column that I generally update bi-weekly on Saturday mornings. This schedule, which I’ve held for the year and a half that I’ve been on this review site, was derailed about a month ago when a major leak in my apartment caused me to have to move and subsequently lose internet…

Saturday Morning Cartoons: Quirky Octoberween Fun with “Curse of the Were-Rabbit”

Stop motion animation has so much potential in its use for horror, as Tim Burton and Laika have shown us their films. Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit, puts its stop motion animation to a different use, for a more comedic and quirky, though nonetheless Halloween-y film.

Saturday Morning Cartoons: I Just Watched the WORST Animated Movie of All Time.

Like the title says, I just watched the absolute worst animated movie of all time. I can’t think of anything worse in terms of writing or animation. This terrible movie involves food-related characters in a supermarket, the battle for their existence, and an inappropriate amount of sexual innuendos. Oh, you think I’m talking about the…

Saturday Morning Cartoons – Watch a Cat Video Instead of “The Secret Life of Pets”

 Don’t get too excited about this trailer. This is as good as the movie gets. Think of a movie about pets. What is the first story idea you can think of? If it involves pets getting lost and then having to find their way back to their beloved owner, then you probably put in about…

Saturday Morning Cartoons – Earn your Jack Black Belt by watching “Kung Fu Panda”

Ok. I have to be honest. I tend to have a hard time defending this film. Well, these films. Since in this article I will be talking about the Kung Fu Panda film series as a whole. The movies get pretty decent ratings on sites like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, and I know that they…

Saturday Morning Cartoons – “Wander Over Yonder”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niuwKWBWXGc When looking at the type of cartoons I watch, I tend to prefer shows that have overarching stories, and deeper character and plot development. I dislike mostly episodic cartoons or purely comedic shows. The 2013 cartoon Wander Over Yonder is both of these. Let me stress that I am extremely picky about comedy, especially…
