Bee & Puppycat: Lazy in Space

Having discovered the web series on Channel Frederator way back when, I was extremely excited to learn the the continuation was coming to Netflix. Though when watching it, I realized it was part continuation and part retelling. There are some clips and references to the web series but with a fresh new take and new story. Netflix is known to give their content creators full range to make the show however they want, so seeing Natasha Allegri take full reigns on the show made it all the better. The animation is beautiful at times and fun/cute at others without it coming off too bubbly. With more episodes, it gave audiences time to explore the characters, the worlds and the possibilities of the show. The show doesn't take itself too seriously and knows its audiences. That's not to say it's all style and no substance. It's action packed but the action never takes away from the story, it's weird but not nonsensical and more importantly its never boring. This show has scenes beautifully animated, good visual gags, as well as good jobs and the voice acting is spot on. If I had any complaint, it would be sometimes we spend a tad long on certain side characters, but it never turned me off from the show. This has easily become my favorite show to come out of 2022.

Bee & Puppycat: Lazy in Space is the missing flavor Netflix needed in their catalog. Bee herself is fun and likable and has funny moments thoughout the series.

Puppycat is also amusing and also has funny moments. Most notably sending all of Bee's money on Pretty Patrick w/ a hilarious reaction from Bee.

The other characters are interesting enough to carrie their own scenes without the main duo. Plus their banter w/ one another carries the scenes there in quite well.

Netflix should renew this show for a second season because of how interesting everything is throughout it's first season run. Yeah.

This show contains the absurd comedic chaos of adventure time with the pastel good-feel aesthetic of Steven universe. The first episode is a little weird if you haven't watched the original (free on YouTube, also highly recommend), but I hope that more people will give it a chance. I recommend this show as one that gave me a lot of joy, but also presented the difficult aspects of life in a relaxed, comforting and creative way. Each character has a background in hardship, some subtle and less explored, others undeniably heartbreaking, and the story doesn't really attempt to resolve these hardships (at least not this season) but there is an impicit attitude of acceptance in character interactions which makes the show sort of consoling. It is best to watch this show with relaxation in mind, as the plot is secondary to the atmosphere in my opinion. That's not to say the plot is uninteresting, as it is quite the opposite, and I am eager to hear the announcement of subsequent seasons to continue where it left off.

When I first watched this show, I thought it was Japanese because of the animation style and quality. In combination with the music and relaxed tone of the voice acting, the atmosphere of the show has no parallel. There are also so many cute and hilarious details that make a rewatch just as enjoyable. Overall, cannot recommend enough. This has become an absolute favourite of mine and I just can't get enough!

Frederatot alway bring the most inventive cartoons. Bee n puppycat is not that's decepointing, started as pilot on YouTube later it was pick up for a full series. It wasn't bad love the colors palettes that they show on the series. The story re very melancholy for the way how the characters interact in the environment with so much to see n todo, n is fun my favorite is the wrestler n pregnant Toast always looking for a fight with Cast, so much fun, then you got. Cardamon the landlord always changing the rent to Bee, but Sticky he's dog always following him to different places. But the best are the protagonist Bee and Puppycat always on adventure or doing a job, that takes the duo's to planets, then her motorcycle cat, so kawai.

I can't say much love the world n the characters It feels like a Moe genre's (cute characters doing cute things) hahahaha. Today's generation of animators are becoming more creative in their work, been invited with what they do.

From Adventure Time to Steven Universe's, are taking influence from Japan kawai culture, I felt this like Lucky Star sheer full and about nothing when comes to the motive of the characters.

So if ye want to see something relax n simply Bee and Puppycat is the one.

Bye.

In reviewing the reboot of this iconic indie show, I must say I am excited. For now I only watched the first episode to get a feel for how they were handling this storyline. If you watched the sparse pilot episodes way back when like I did, then you'll be pleasantly surprised to see how much they jam pack into this first one. As a matter of fact it is almost to a fault, because if you are watching this show for the first time ever, you're not really catching all the hints they're throwing your way. Elements of the show that were deeply important and spread throughout the few episodes back then are now squished into this first episode. Without spoiling, they're already alluding to a big element pertaining to a main character right off the bat, within the first few minutes. Then such things as songs and stories that were revealed in the finale, are now here to digest in your first watch.

Is this a good thing? It could be, if you don't want to watch a show all over again and want to continue the plot as soon as possible. If you're a first time watcher, then you'll get the idea that there is a lot going on and you need to pay attention. If you are like me, you somewhat wish a few things were left unsaid, at least the plot twist.

The tone of the show is unique in that it shows more than tells. Many times if you blink or look away, you might be missing a silent moment happening. Sometimes moments happen, but are not special to the episode, but they will be important later on. They are very clear in getting your attention, focusing on a single item most of the time, and you're wondering if it is a red herring, a visual clue, or just something they're showing to remind you something happened.

Funnily enough, this show is actually action packed, but the way the characters speak and react to things you don't ever feel too overstimulated. This show is the kind that could be played in the background and not disturb you, but still be interesting when you look up again. All in all, I'm looking forward to seeing more of it!
