Elliott, der Junge von der Erde

I recently watched the new Cartoon Network series, Elliott from Earth and I was pretty impressed by the premise of this show. The animation is basically the same animation The Amazimg World of Gumball but there is no background footage of the real world and no 3D animated characters in the show. I like Elliott, especially his mom, Frankie. As for Mo, he's okay but he didn't really impress me that much and I like most of the variety of the aliens in this show. I think Elliott from Earth can be rather enjoying to watch than other CN shows (even though these shows are also enjoying to watch) and I highly recommend anyone to watch it. I give this show an 8.7/10.

Ok so to start off, this show has a FANTASTIC story, its engaging and brings many questions to the viewer, and the show did seem pretty promising in the first few episodes. Unfortunately whenever the show isnt focusing on the story (which is around 60% of the show by the way) its lame as heck. Its literally just a watered down gumball clone with less self awareness to it. The comedy can be pretty good sometimes and it has some clever concepts. Although mo is a pretty annoying character, when he was first introduced he seemed to be a passable character with his own character traits and personality, but he quickly became the horrible comic relief i was hoping he wouldnt be. Honestly i feel like this show could have been good as long as they just focused entirely on the story and not the filler, but as it stands its overall a pretty mixed bag.

Elliott from earth is the second full series from Cartoon Network Studios Europe (now being rebraned as Hanna Barbera studios Europe) a foreign division of CN whose 1st animated series The amazing world of Gumball became such a big hit for the network I was excited when in 2018 they began production on another series called Elliott from Earth. Years later and it's finally here and I've been enjoying the series so far, the four part Wednesday is a neat introduction to who the 3 main characters are, Elliott & his mother Frankie have been moving around a lot since Frankie's theory of a mysterious rock she found is believed to be evidence of alien activity got her laughed out of field of science though she is determined to prove her theory right, Elliott is a good mannered boy whose feeling a little lonely since due to moving a lot he doesn't have the time to make lasting friendships. This all changed however when they activate the rock causing them to teleport through space on to the centrium, where they meet Mo a Dinosaur. What I like about Mo is when they meet him he really doesn't know much of anything and he asks questions about real basic stuff. This show can have such a soft gentle tone sometimes it's great. After making a home on the centrium the show goes into a more episodic approach exploring the cast of aliens and cool futuristic design of world around them. Some of my favorite episodes so far are: problematic prophecies: Nara is a interesting character who temporarily gave Elliott & Mo the power of future sight. Parallel Paradox: It's just really funny. And Melancholic Megalomaniac: LORD KALLOUS is such an interesting character, once a space tyrant now seeks redemption as a school teacher. Also the animation and colors of this show are amazing, nearly every episode has the characters with types of shading and lighting that you'd normally wouldn't see in other shows. Over all I'm looking forward to more of this series!

I love this show already! It almost feels as if Cartoon Network tapped right into my head and turned 90% of my personal fantasies into an animated show.

I've always wanted to be excited for that show. It's from the executive producers of The Amazing World of Gumball. I don't know if the show takes place on the same universe as Gumball, but still.
