After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
... View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
... View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
... View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
... View MoreI have heard many lukewarm attitudes towards Cow & Chicken, and it is primarily because of its short episodes due to being cut short by I. M. Weasel. But personally I think Cow and Chicken was the better show, perhaps because I didn't get the I.M, Weasel show. Anyway, look at Cow & Chicken, it's freakin' bizarre! The titular characters are somehow siblings, who have humans as their parents, who turn out to be only a talking pair of legs! That is beyond strange! More oddities are about to come, because they encounter more disturbing characters and expiriences throughout the series. Oh, did I mention that the cow is also a spanish speaking superhero and the chicken has a cousin without any bones in his entire body, yeah, that's what we're dealing with. The pilot episode of the series seriously creeped me out! The Devil, aka The Red Guy, was originally a sadistic madman (satan) set to torture our main characters. I am not sure if I would have liked to see more of that Red Guy and that kind of content was, luckily I guess, toned down in the final series. In conclusion, If Cow & Chicken was given its original dark and explicit content it would have made one heck of an unpleasant show and what we got was still twisted and disturbing, but in a funny way. If it had got its completely own show without sharing screen-time with another show, it could easily have been up there with Ren & Stimpy in terms of being twisted and entertaining.
... View MoreI loved cow and chicken as a child. When someone gave me the complete collection on DVD I had to re-live my childhood. Boy oh boy, this was a great idea. It brought back so many memories of me as a child watching cartoon network after I finished my school homework and on the weekend mornings! As for the show itself, I am personally amazed I was allowed to watch this as a child. It's comedy rested with its vulgarity. When you look at the characters you can sense they don't wash very often and enjoy rolling in their own physical and verbal filth. It was funny for me, but I am sure many people would disagree. Much of the comedy came from stupidity too. When your grandparents refer to the TV as the "idiot box", you will understand why they think this when you watch this cartoon. I am amazed this was allowed to air at the time. It would certainly not pass today's standards. However, I am glad it is a part of cartoon history. It comes from a time with fewer restrictions and more creative freedom than today. I thoroughly enjoyed watching these episodes again and I am sure others will agree. After all, "dad was proud...he didn't care how!"
... View MoreThis is not a cartoon that most kids or adults would enjoy today because it could be offensive. But everything else about this cartoon was pretty darn good! It's like the jokes just never stop coming in each episode! It's as if that creator didn't care how far he could go to make a funny cartoon and still enjoyable today. At least to me! This is indeed worth the watch and I can only hope something in the future comes to past!
... View MoreI loved this cartoon as a child, it was funny with some genuinely great characters and story lines.There were odd story lines such as 'Chicken' wondering if he is actually a female after supposedly laying an egg.The show had some wonderful characters 'The Red Guy', 'Eal, Flem, Mom and Dad' as well as the 'Weasel and Baboon' who totally stole the show with their hilarious segment. Yes, the show has huge amounts of violence...But you know what...I grew up just fine...I loved Cow's alter-ego, 'Super Cow'....Today a show like this would probably never get a chance to air...but I loved this show and still remember it fondly.One of the many spectacular cartoons of the great 90's.
