Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

I re-watch this series every year, it became a fall tradition for me. Ah I'll never get tired of watching it. ITS SO GOOD GO WATCH IT!!

Everything about this show is perfect. From voice acting to art style to characters to storytelling, it all just fits so well in this 10 episode series, although I wish it was longer. The world that is given to us is something out of our best dreams and nightmares. The innocent humor mixed with the dark themes makes you question who this show was made for but then it subtly reels you back in and you no longer care and continue to the next episode. This show will intrigue kids of all ages and adults of a certain era. It's very reminiscent of a studio Ghibli movie but with it's own identity. If you like animation with a bit of a serious tone than give this a try and you will not be disappointed.

So I just got done binge watching this and I was pretty darn impressed. The acting, characters, plot, tone, score, animation, everything was just so well done. I'm not too happy with Cartoon Network as a company and how they handle their intellectual property *cough* teen titans go *cough*, but this show made me think that there is still hope for Cartoon Network, it can actually produce some good stuff when it wants to. But now onto the actual show. The acting was amazing, Elijah Wood was fantastic as Wirt and Collin Dean was surprisingly good for only being 9 at the time of the show's release. The two actors played off each other very well and had a very watchable chemistry, although that might also be attributed to the brilliant writers of the show, who somehow manage to spin a whimsical and imaginative story-line while maintaining the innocent tone of the show. The characters were all written beautifully and seemed very natural and real. The tone of the show was very consistent overall and was nicely contrasted to the story. The score was also awesome despite being a little repetitive at times. And the animation was very creative and smooth. Now that I have said the positives, let me explain why I'm only giving this a 9/10 instead of a 10/10. It was pretty much just the ending. I did not enjoy the "it was all a dream" thing, I thought that for a show this awesome and this unpredictable, going with the most clichéd ending honestly upset me a little. Plus, it being a dream wouldn't even make a lot of sense based on what happened. I just did not enjoy the ending and I think that for a show this good, and this clearly well planned out and executed, they should have thought more about the ending rather than making it the most cliché thing in the whole world. Anyway I still enjoyed this show quite a lot and would recommend it to pretty much everyone. And that's why this gets a 9/10.

Nicely animated... stupidity that's what this show is. 1. Strange thing happens 2. There's a kerfuffle 3. Some how gets resolved in an odd manner 4. The end. The only reason I watched it was because I had seen on YouTube that it had similarities to Dante's inferno but that was stupidity as well, ah well at least it's nicely animated !
