Ok so and then because of the before math there was inherent superiority that was ultimately transcribed as a predecessor to the franchise which led to a crumbling of the initial infrastructure that we set out to achieve.
... View MoreTwo words for Stone Quackers, great show! It has personality, anthropomorphic characters, and many more. Would recommend to adolescents! If you're looking for a show with wacky adventure; this show has it all. From a severe hurricane to decapitated heads to owning a business. This show has it all. Set in the fictional island city of Cheeseburger Island, the series revolves around the surreal misadventures of two ducks, Whit and Clay (respectively voiced by Whitmer Thomas and Clay Tatum), along with their friends Barf (voiced by Ben Jones) and Dottie (voiced by Heather Lawless), and the incompetent Officer Barry (voiced by John C. Reilly), and neighborhood kid Bug (voiced by Budd Diaz).
... View MoreIts awful. I should leave it at that, but that barely conveys the sheer boredom and embarrassment for those involved in this production that I felt while watching this charade of a show. I'll try to relate the sensation of losing 11 minutes of my life, but really the best thing to do is just watch the first episode yourself... I mean, they got John C. Reilley to voice Barry the police-duck, so it can't be that bad, right? Wrong, so, so wrong... The art is bad, of course that's my opinion as an artist, its possible you may find the sloppy backgrounds and bland, inconsistently rendered characters "charming," since they look like a child's drawings, but the real issue is they don't feel complete, like whoever was doing the storyboards got pranked into doing all the animation himself on a tight deadline. So visually its pretty lacking, which I could forgive if only the characters didn't seem like hollow masks, bereft of any trace of soul or personality. Being stupid and/or a douchebag is not in itself funny or entertaining, there needs to be some kind of reason or sense to it, some kind of motive or payoff, some extraordinary showmanship or spectacle at the very least... This is animation people you can do ANYTHING! (I could have shot a live action human version of the first episode shot for shot with a camera phone and a $50 budget in one afternoon if my brother were a policeman or EMT...) You can't just say, "these ducks are morons, ha ha ha" and expect people to care... There's really nothing much going on here, except maybe an indictment of the stoner youth culture. I'm astonished this has gotten such good reviews, its almost like the audience has somehow been convinced that this has all the elements of a "good" show, and must therefore be good, in spite of it being slow, boring and bland. 11 minutes felt like an hour.
... View MoreI enjoy Ben Jones' work very much. I even consider the Problem Solverz to be possibly one of my favorite shows; I love it when crazy stuff like that somehow gets on television (which possibly explains why I mostly watch Adult Swim). While I love his more Paper Rad-y style, I enjoy this show's art as well. Many of the background characters still maintain the look, but the main characters are much easier on the eyes. The backgrounds are my favorite part, though, they have a really nice painted feel to them. While I haven't seen enough to say..the writing seems funny enough and I enjoy the characters as well. Great job boys, y'all did good!!1
