Flapjack

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.

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.

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.

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.
