The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack

Being that I'm 19 years old, and that I've acquired an outrageously dark sense of humor, I would never think that a show targeted towards kids would ever appeal to me. But, this show is an exception. This show is nightmare fuel, pure and simple. This 'nightmare fuel' aspect is, in no way, a negative view of the show. The backgrounds' dark and dreary art style seems to compliment the characters' lighthearted antics. Oftentimes, extreme reactions in the characters faces are grossly exaggerated in a vividly horrifying, and wildly entertaining, manner. The story lines, and even the setting, are twisted and sometimes hard to follow. Again, this is not detrimental to the show's entertainment value, but instead enhances it. It is cartoons like these that keep one's imagination alive and kicking, wondering 'what else could be thought of, what else could happen?'. This show is great, purely imaginative, and conceptually beautiful.

While it may not be as great as Chowder, it too actually does a very good job trying to save Cartoon Network from going downhill. The man who created Flapjack has worked on three of my favorite Cartoon Network shows such as the Powerpuff Girls, Billy and Mandy, and Camp Lazlo!

In fact, a lot of the crew who worked on Camp Lazlo! worked on Flapjack. The art is very creative, it's dark and realistic, it has more to it than just being gross, the grossness and disturbing imagery fits the setting of the show, and the characters are very well-written. Not to mention, the voice acting is spot on. True, it's insane, but what would you expect? It's actually something I prefer over Superjail! Heck, the creator of Gravity Falls worked on this show.

So, I was wrong about Flapjack being a horrible show. I really like Flapjack the way it is.

Flapjack is definitely bizarre, But it is extremely creative and funny with 2 likable protagonists, odd stories, and interesting animation.

I love Flapjack. This show is amazing. It has beautiful animation and I love the watercolor backgrounds. Flapjack's voice and laugh make ME LAUGH OUT LOUD. And so does all the crazy stuff that happens in the show. Its creepy and lovable all at once. They live in a whale's mouth, K'nuckles is blue, Peppermint Larry has a wife made of candy- all bits that keep me wondering about the mysterious land of Stormalong Harbor.

I don't know why anyone wouldn't like this show. Maybe people who kick puppies wouldn't. And people who get irritated by lots of noises. But if you were like that, you probably shouldn't be watching cartoons, eh?!

I wish Flapjack was on right now. I'd like to watch it. Even though it was just on for an hour and I watched that. He inspires me to be adventurous. And eat candy. And make friends with a creepy old pirate. I even have a sailor hat. I hope there are 1,000,000,000,000 seasons of Flapjack. I want it to go on until the world ends. I want it to go on until after the world ends. I want Vishnu to be able to watch Flapjack as he floats on a sea of milk.

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.
