Bee & Puppycat: Lazy in Space

Well IMDB messed up and my long in depth review was lost. I'll say this. This show was effortless fun and I felt like the story and voice actors cared and delivered everything with feeling and intensity. This feels lifeless and pushy. It feels like someone retelling a joke or story. It's not the same thing at all.

Going back to the original show I get a much different feeling. Everything about the original feels like a project of passion, a well told story about a girl down on her luck and the weird situations with a cat or a dog? This feels like no one cares.

There's too much exposition. Too many details pushed into episode one. No character development and focus is all over the place. The jokes that were simple and hilarious are now watered down and forced. Deckard was previously a part of Bee's story but in this one it seems like the show is Bee and Puppycat also featuring Deckard's family.

Everything about this is wrong. I don't like what this has become. I'm glad it will introduce more people to Bee and Puppycat but I wish it had the soul of the original. It feels desperate and altered. Where is the love and glee we used to hear in Bee's voice? Why are we pushing so much story? Why does everything need context right away but various story elements just get dropped? I don't get it.

Case and point. The scene with the umbrella and ice. Watch the new version compared to the original and wow did they butcher that. One of my favorite and to me the most well told and hilarious joke in a cartoon ever was short and sweet with so much emotional intensity. Now it's a watered down and forced retelling of that joke. This tells you everything about how much this show lost.

If this show gets more episodes I beg Natasha to find whatever heart and soul she invested in this show originally. It feels like she lost it and it makes me sad.

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.

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.

Nowadays cartoon series are waaaay to jumpy and overfeeding you with information and stimulation that you feel overwhelmed and tired after watching them.

This series however is a high quality content, that keeps you curious and exited while giving you a mental break from all the overstimulation that is happening in our world. It's like watching lofi hiphop as a series. It's also very funny and the visuals are full of eye candy. The creativity is on a very high level too so you feel like you are taking a journey into a different world. You always want to watch more because the way they built the storyline makes it seem like it's a relaxed show but the content is actually pretty deep and mysterious. So I really hope they make another season, so we can all dive more into this amazing world of mystery, fun and relaxation.

BEE & PUPPYCAT (2022) was a profoundly unique, lovely experience. In my opinion, it is an adorable story of a one-of-a-kind friendship between an oddball woman named Bee (old lady?) and a fiesty space creature called PuppyCat, who "looks like a cat but smells like a puppy". Season 2 adds more depth to the world (island/space) and further develops the characters. As a whole, this retro-esque chibi sci-fi series gives off high levels of quirk. Charming, quaint, poignant and kinda bizarre--this show really has a lot of heart and soul. And it's difficult to explain this show really. It is wholly original and fresh, with beautifully designed world, vividly imagined characters, pastel colored aesthetics and honestly--something extremely and extraordinarily calming about it.

While there is much emotional and nostalgic depth here, and plenty of cute everyday stories going on, it's also quite surreal and metaphysical, at times even mind-bending and nearing on the trippy, sci-fi psychedelic side. It's a great series to watch and rewatch, and the slow, peaceful vibes make it a great bedtime show as well. It might just chill you to sleep. ; ) That may sound bad, but it's not in actuallity.

I really love this series, the artwork, the world, the characters and its incredibly moving atmosphere...oh, did I mention music? The retro mellow OST is really amazing, beautiful and memorable. I hope to see more like it in the future. Definitely worth the watch and rewatches. Completely far out there and filled with such random bizarre cuteness! Such a uber sweet, perfect series. A creative work of genius. Loved it! Both seasons!!
