When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Moral Orel, created by Dino Stamatopoulos, is my favorite television show of all time. The show depicts (at least in the first season) young Orel Puppington growing up in Moralton trying to be a good protestant by sticking to the moral code and lost commandments, unfortunately screwing it up in the process, only to be corrected (in his study with belt in hand) by his supposedly good father figure and father, Clay. In the later seasons, though, it turned much, much darker, focusing on the dramatically repressed citizens of Moralton. In the final season, however, they abandoned the brighter episodes to much more depressing story lines (did I mention this is all done, very well I might add, in stop-motion animation?).The show has ended, much to Moral Orel fan's dismay, but it was a pretty bad decision. Moral Orel was VERY well written and funny throughout, less we forget dramatic, offensive and blasphemous. Let me warn those of you whom are offended by parody of religion, TURN BACK NOW. This show parodies religion every episode somehow, whether subtle or blatant. For those of us who can take a joke, Moral Orel is over, but Orel shall forevermore live within our hearts knowing the ending. He was canceled before his time, yes, but we have 43 episodes of amazingly done animation. This show is nothing like anything else on Adult Swim, since it contains very few vulgar words (nothing needed to be censored), it's overall style is comparable to Davey and Goliath. Watch it and enjoy one of the best achievements in American television in only eleven minutes.

Moral Orel is a great parody of Davey and Goliath. Actually, it is the best. I'm sure it's not the only one because the internet and all. But anyways, this was a great show for my liking. It is actually like saying it's the softer side of Adult Swim, except it's still like the violent, offensive animated shows that Adult Swim hand-selected and airs.Moral Orel is always getting into trouble because he tried to follow God's rules and usually takes it literally. That causes him to get a spanking. That is basically the plot of the whole series, and I'm glad it's going to go for another season. I'm Catholic, but I'm still Christian but I don't find this show offensive. It could be offensive to other people since it shows the life of a stereotypical Protestant family which could get this show cancelled.Anyways, I thought this was a great show and I plan to watch more episodes of the animated series. Also, I might try to find a channel that airs Davey and Goliath or something and watch it. Just to see the difference from this show and Davey and Goliath.

Minor spoiler.In one of the early episodes (maybe the first episode), Oral and his family are on their way to church, listening to some kind of supposedly Christian radio station. They're kind of singing along to some song that goes something like "Reason is the enemy of faith, my friends."But, that's not really the Christian position. At least, it wasn't G.K. Chesterton's position, and he was a Christian. (Well, okay, he was an adult convert to Catholicism.)"When first I became one of the New Anarchists I tried all kinds of respectable disguises. I dressed up as a bishop. I read up all about bishops in our anarchist pamphlets, in Superstition the Vampire and Priests of Prey. I certainly understood from them that bishops are strange and terrible old men keeping a cruel secret from mankind. I was misinformed. When on my first appearing in episcopal gaiters in a drawing-room I cried out in a voice of thunder, 'Down! down! presumptuous human reason!' they found out in some way that I was not a bishop at all. I was nabbed at once." -- G.K. Chesterton, _The Man Who Was Thursday_, Chapter IISee also:Chesterton fans will probably remember when Chesterton's priest-detective, Father Brown, first interacts with the great criminal Flambeau, who was disguised as a priest. After he's been unmasked, he asked Father Brown how he penetrated his disguise. How did Father Brown know that the criminal wasn't really a priest? "You attacked reason," Father Brown answers. "It's bad theology." Ozy

"Moral Orel" has to have one of the best animation I've seen in a TV show. But, besides that fact, this show is quite funny.IT has an extremely sarcastic view on Christianity that I can't help but laugh at. I am a Christian, but It is still fun to poke fun at myself. This sin't a kid show mainly because they could be confused on the religious perspective (in one episode the preacher said if you pray to Jesus he'll give you money), but other than that...well I can't say that either.It's not for kids at all. Certain episodes aren't bad, but a lot are. I honestly love the whole show. It makes Christianity look like a happy time, but at the same time makes it look sorta dumb.I'm still a very strong Christian, but sometimes, out of all the seriousness, I need to laugh at myself.
