Bunsen Is a Beast

When I first saw this episode, I had me interested and I did enjoy the pilot. But the episodes after that usually ranged from average to awful with few good ones. I quite like the characters but there was a lack of development although this show only lasted for one season. The animation does look cheap which is a shame since I really like flash animation style and can be wonderful to look at when done right, I feel a lot of the stories have potential but are never used in that way. This show had potential but was held back by the writing team and subpar animation.

The animation is pretty bad flash compared to other shows like My Little Pony and Star Vs the Forces of Evil.

The Voice Acting is not the best. I don't blame the actors since they're pretty good names like Jeff Bennett and Kari Wahlgren. It's a shame that every voice in the show is incredibly annoying to listen to.

The Stories have really poor flow. Just point A to B with no character development. Just seems like they're trying to tell jokes but they fall flat.

The humor style is Hartman's but not at his peak. None of the jokes work and with all the voices being annoying it makes them missing stick out more.

The characters are pretty bland and with no proper introduction. Shows like Littlest Pet Shop and most other shows introduce the characters in some way via song or something. Give us a reason to care.

This show is pretty good, but I do think it could've been a bit better. I do really like the two main characters, Bunsen and Mikey, as they are funny and always look out for each other. However there are some issues here.

The main villain is very cliche and she also doesn't really have a reason to be evil other than because she can. Also, while the voices do fit the characters, they get very loud and annoying at times. Some of the jokes are too random and ridiculous. Random does not equal funny. However, there are still good jokes here. The animation also isn't the best, but Flash/digital animation is the new standard at this point, so no point in complaining over it.

Those are the flaws, but here are some of the good things. A good thing about this show is that it doesn't have a lot of gross out humor like some other Nicktoons in the past. (eg. Sanjay and Craig, Breadwinners, Fanboy and Chum Chum) Like I stated above, I really like Bunsen and Mikey as characters. The plot is good, with the villain wanting to get rid of the titular character for being a beast and not a human, and I like that this show teaches kids a good lesson about including others, even if they are different.

I don't really understand why this show was canceled after only one season? I didn't watch this show until recent but it was pulling pretty good views when it first released.

What could've been better: get rid of the random and loud jokes, make the villain have a better reason for being evil, and polish the animation a bit.

Overall, 7/10, this show is pretty good, I think all the good outweighs the bad, and you should definitely give this show a shot.

Theme song is sooooooo cringy But the show was average

This butch Hartman revival show tells the story of Mikey and Bunsen the magical beast in the town of Muckledunk. With the town goofball Amanda on the hunt for beasts, Mikey tries to help Bunsen not get caught by Amanda to be exposed!

Awesome spinoff... great plots, characters, and just overall timing really made me go fanboy over this show!! This reminded me of the Fairly Oddparents by a meer 200%.

It shouldn't have been cancelled, Nickelodeon if you're reading this, bring back Bunsen is a Beast! It helps us 90's kids from crying over the shows you took down that we loved!

Stop with Spongebob! Bring back Bunsen!!!!!
