The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack

i grew up watching syndicated warner bros. cartoons from the 'forties and flapjack is just as beautiful, dramatic, exciting, and laugh-out-loud funny.

"the marvelous misadventures of flapjack" is a special work that dwells somewhere between maakies (or drinky crow) and spongebob. --and it's not just for cartoon lovers; the artwork reminds me of some of my most favorite memories of reading as a child.

i'm glad that cartoon network can still show it still believes in really great shows like this-- that is all the "reality" programming i need.

This show shows that Just because it's gross or its ugly doesn't mean it's bad. I like gross out, but I like it when it's done right, and Flapjack shows how you can do it right, It differences itself from Ren and Stimpy by being more slow paced, Calm, and more Quirky if you're thinking of the Sea Urchins Episode. Honestly, watching an episode is like watching Spongebob, it's real satisfying but it gets dirty and gruesome that it increases the engagement. When it gets gross, it's actually funny. The animation is slow yet it has some structure and feels like a Pirate map, the voice acting is well done in this show, Flapjack feels like a kid, K'nuckles feels like an Irresponsible Adventurer, and Bubby feels just like a sassy yet mother like character. The Characters are also great, its People like the Urchins,Punsy McKale, and Peppermint Larry that make me laugh even harder than seeing Steven,Garnet,or Peridot. I honestly don't see why Mr Enter hates this show only for gross out, I also don't see why it caused him to become a Virgin, It's calm and interesting but gross, and when it does get gross like in the Kitten Scene,it's calm and Subtle about it. Saying that I'm not a fan of gross out just because of Asperger Syndrome doesn't mean that you have to say that Patrick McKale isn't Human or that J Q Qunitel should die, Aspergers isn't something to say only to get furious about a cartoon and cyberbully writers of the show, as said by Zach Bellissimo, If you don't like these shows then don't watch them. Either way, if you're a fan of adventure and like to have a good ol'chuckle with the writers of the show, then this is the show for you.

Have always been a huge fan of animation and Cartoon Network for a while was one of my most watched channels when a child and growing up. It was around when 'The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy' (one of the last classic Cartoon Network shows) ended when this reviewer started watching the channel less, actually watched Boomerang more in my teens because of its regular airings of Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes and Scooby Doo. But there were a small handful of shows that stopped me from completely giving up on it.

'The Marvellous Misadventures of Flapjack' is one of those shows. Was really intrigued by the advertising and it had the type of humour that has been done incredibly well in many animated shows (i.e. 'Ren and Stimpy'), also do like weirdness when done well. The show is not one of the best shows that Cartoon Network has ever done, can definitely see the polarisation (especially in regard to the animation style) and it is not quite marvellous. But it is a lot of fun and well crafted.

It is not a perfect show. The character designs of the supporting characters are ugly due to going too far on the grotesqueness.

And to me not all the humour lands, especially with the childish toilet humour that jars with the dark, bold humour that is done very well here. Bubbie is also not always necessary.

On the other hand, the animation on the whole was good. Especially the very detailed and imaginative backgrounds and the colours actually did appeal to me. The music is dynamic with what goes on and this is yet another show to deliver on a catchy theme tune accompanying a fun titles sequence. The characters are wonderfully strange and have great individual personalities that are flawed but not annoying in my view. The voice acting is on point, with Thorup Van Orum and Brian Doyle-Murray having a ball and Jeff Bennett shows off his versatility and why he is one of the most talented, and distinctive, voice actors in the business.

Furthermore, most of the writing is funny and smart with a dark subversiveness that was quite bold and can't believe what the show is getting away with-like. The storylines are creative and engaging, they are also very random and weird but in a wonderful way and not too confusing. The pacing is lively.

Summarising, a lot of fun but not quite marvellous. 8/10.

All I can say about "Flapjack" is that it is one of the most bizarre animated show ever produced. Sometimes we watch it & when the episode is over we look at each other & say "Huh"? But we're always entertained & always laugh out loud at something. As a matter of fact "Magic Genie Island" is perhaps the strangest cartoon episode I've ever seen & I've seen a lot of em'. Suffice it to say that you've gotta see it at least once & experience the oddness for yourself. The animation is striking & in some cases a bit nightmarish but always interesting to the eyes. The voices are spot on as well. A great cartoon is what it is so give it a shot.

Flapjack is one of those rare cartoons that you just don't see anymore. It has this very surreal feel to it, almost like it is more for an older audience. It isn't afraid to show gruesome images or add a bit of adult humor. It has a lot of random humor as well. Saying this, I wouldn't recommend it for young children, because I feel adults would probably appreciate it more. It reminds me of the older, classic cartoons, where anything was possible and no one was afraid to push the envelope. And one random positive is that the characters is likable as well as quotable. One of these days it will be one of those classic cartoons. Awesome cartoon.
