Bee & Puppycat: Lazy in Space

Bee and Puppycat: Lazy in space or just Bee and Puppycat is an animated show featuring a cast of 20-ish-something young adults that is still IMO family friendly .

It is a chill mellow with an air of whimsy and mystery, as characters just trying to find their place in life and a bit of fishbowl space, and you also get to find clues about where they are and hints at what they are and have been.

It started out as a YouTube series funded by Frederator, and went threw a bit trouble finding a platform, it is now airing on Netflixs It has Sailor Moon, Steven Universe with a bit of Adventure time Vibes(which makes sense considering the Natasha Allegri work on Adventure Time(behind fiona and cake) and over the garden wall( co wrote on 3 episodes of otgw)) So if you like any of those shows, give it a try.

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.

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!

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 and PuppyCat: Lazy in Space isn't just a show; it's a warm hug wrapped in a kaleidoscope. From the whimsical pastels to the laid-back, slice-of-life approach to magical girl shenanigans, this show is a masterpiece of comforting charm. Every episode feels like a warm cup of cocoa on a rainy day, a sprinkle of glitter on a dull Tuesday.

The surreal world Bee and PuppyCat inhabit is as enchanting as it is strange. Talking cats with mysterious pasts, floating cities powered by emotions, and temp jobs that turn into intergalactic adventures - this show revels in the unexpected, reminding us that the ordinary can be extraordinary with a dash of imagination.

But where Bee and PuppyCat truly shines is in its gentle approach to storytelling. Forget saving the world; Bee's biggest struggle is often paying rent on her tiny apartment. This mundane grounding gives the fantastical elements even more weight, making the characters and their journeys feel relatable and endearing.

It's this relatability that made Bee and PuppyCat a beacon of comfort during the pandemic. The show's focus on dreaming big, even when life feels overwhelming, resonated deeply. Bee's struggles with self-doubt and financial woes mirrored our own, while PuppyCat's boundless optimism offered a much-needed escape.

More than just a comfort show, Bee and PuppyCat inspired me to dream. It reminded me that magic exists in the everyday, that joy can be found in the simplest things, and that it's never too late to chase your wildest, silliest dreams.

With its captivating animation, quirky characters, and heartwarming stories, Bee and PuppyCat: Lazy in Space is a 10/10 masterpiece. It's a show I'll rewatch countless times, a cozy haven I can always return to whenever life needs a touch of sweetness and whimsy. And to Netflix, I say this: PLEASE renew for a third season! The world needs more Bee and PuppyCat adventures, and we the fans are ready to embark on them.
