Unikitty!

This show, despite being created by a majority of the Teen Titans Go crew, is a surprisingly decent comedy series based on an existing property. It has it's own established rules, the characters are not complete simpletons, and the animation is fairly well done despite the use of flash animation. It shows how well the TTG crew can be when they are not mocking the critics of the series.

It does, however, bug me that they're using Tara so many times in their other series at this point. It feels like they're stretching her thin with her already being in MLP, Ben 10, TTG, Fairly Odd Parents, AND this show. I just hope she's not being pushed too far.

Boring jokes and stories as riddiculous as the tenn titans go! Episodes make this show a real dissaster.

Parents need to know that Unikitty! is an animated series about the character fans first met in The Lego Movie. Here Unikitty and her world are animated in 2D fashion rather than in the 3D style of the Lego movies, and her fantasy-filled kingdom is a place of creativity and fantasy that kids will like. The stories center mostly on Unikitty's efforts to keep her friends and subjects happy, despite the negative influences of an assortment of villains. Expect lots of absurdity, outlandish scenarios, and oddball characters. There's some violence, but it's mostly unrealistic and results in only minor injuries.

UNIKITTY! centers on Princess Unikitty (voiced by Tara Strong), who bears responsibility for her subjects' happiness and seeks out opportunities to ensure it. She and her cadre -- her brother, Puppycorn (voiced by Grey DeLisle); resident tech expert, Dr. Fox (Kate Micucci); martial arts expert Hawkodile (Roger Craig Smith); and Richard (Smith again), her monotone-speaking and oft-ignored advisor -- keep tabs on the kingdom from Unikitty's castle and intervene to banish negativity spread by Master Frown (Eric Bauza) and other villains as needed. But don't let her sunny disposition fool you; Unikitty can get fierce when things don't go her way.

A breakout star from The Lego Movie, this unicorn/cat hybrid spreads her figurative wings in her own series that's a noticeable visual departure from her blocky beginnings. Episodes open with two Lego characters settling in to watch Unikitty's adventures, but that's the only bridge between the two productions. The series veers off in bold 2D animation with characters and settings that bear no resemblance to Lego whatsoever, save for the dull gray, easily overshadowed brick named Richard.

Of course, if you have no particular allegiance to Unikitty's origin story, then it's easy to pick up with her misadventures as this series gets off the ground. The stories aren't hard to follow -- Unikitty and her friends identify a threat to either their or the general population's happiness and set out to defeat it -- and they're colorful and fast-paced throughout. Creativity abounds in Unikitty's world of unusual creatures and bizarre happenings, and what violence exists is fantastical and a minor concern for the show's target audience of kids and young tweens.

When I heard the promo's directly state it was made by the crew involved with Teen Titans Go I really had my doubts. The other Lego Cartoons are 3D animated and are more action packed, and have a world to expanded and build. While this one does have it's own world inspirations from TTG are very apparent. The art and flash art style is near identical as well as the pacing and humor. The Characters are a mix for me I like Puppycorn as the upbeat lovable loser kid and DR.Fox is pretty funny. Crocdile is basically Copy and Paste Cyborg from TTG and Unikitty herself is copy and Paste Pinkie Pie from MLP which true that was intentional for her in the Lego Movie but she now has the quirk of bursting out into a fiery Tantrum every time she gets angry and that get's old very quick. I know She is voiced By Tara Strong but honestly I can only see why they chose her is because she has a lot of fans from her other many voice roles and I find that pretty manipulative from a marking stand point. The art is cute but the bright colors should be toned down. Fast paced, hi-jinks filled antics style of humor is funny for the most part but after a few episodes it get's same old a few episodes in. Over all if you like that's fine it's just that Warner Bro's animation has been pushing a show with clear inspiration form TTG and I really don't think a good Version of TTG or just a show that does the formula well is something that the animation industry should learn considering the success and drama Teen Titans go brought.

For the time being, Unikitty! is actually an okay show for Cartoon Network. It's not bad, not good, just okay. The series, to my knowledge, has no relations with The Lego Movie despite the titular Unikitty being a prominent character in that movie. Here, the show is two dimensionally animated unlike the Lego Movie. As such, it's almost easy to forget that the characters are supposed to be Lego pieces. However, I can see some reasons behind this change namely that CGI would've been more expensive, and the characters are more visually expressive.

As for the characters, they're fine, albeit one note. Unikitty herself is a mixed bag for me. Imagine that you had Pinkie Pie from Friendship is Magic, and Star Butterfly from Star vs. the Forces of Evil, and you blend them together, and you'd get Unikitty. Princess Unikitty is always upbeat with trying to find the best in every situation, but she also has the tendency to get enraged. You wouldn't like her when she's angry. Now, there are some things about Princess Unikitty that are good, but I can also see how she would be easily annoying for anyone to genuinely like. Not featured in the movie, there's Puppycorn, her younger brother (even though Unikitty's a cat-unicorn-hybrid), Dr. Fox a scientist, Hawkodile the hawk-crocodile bodyguard of Unikitty, and Richard a grey Lego block who functions as Unikitty's royal advisor. Oh, there is also Master Frown the main antagonist of the show who serves as an antithesis of sorts to Unikitty in which he revels in the suffering of others. Other than that, he is a one note bad guy.

The show itself is fast paced much like the movie, which can be a bit of an issue because it seems that the show never shuts up and gives the audience the time to rest and digest everything going on. The animation is also very fluid, which helps with the upbeat tone of the show. I may watch the show every now and then, because there really isn't anything deep about the show other than generic morals here and there. You really wouldn't miss much if you missed an episode. It acknowledges that it's stupid, so it doesn't have the need to feel that it should be anything other than a lighthearted comedy. As I only watched small parts of The Lego Movie, I can't definitively say you'd love it if you were a fan of the movie, but I would suggest giving it a try and if you don't like it, you could drop it and maybe watch the other Lego cartoon series.
