Bob's Burgers: O Filme

Just watched it and it's a great entry for people that haven't seen it. The animation was next level here, and you can see they put much more money into it. The plot and storylines were nice and simple. Great movie!

I'm a big fan of the series and have to admit that my anticipation for the movie has been growing since it's announcement. Whilst I'd be the first to admit that it's not much more than an ambitious episode of the show, for me that was more than enough.

With the bank about to foreclose on their cooking equipment, the last thing that Bob (H Jon Benjamin) and Linda Belcher (John Roberts) need is a giant sinkhole to open right outside the door to the restaurant and stop any customers from getting in. Their misery is compounded when a body is found in the hole and it becomes an active crime scene. Meanwhile all three Belcher children are undergoing a crisis of confidence. Tina (Dan Mintz) is unable to take the next step and ask Jimmy Jnr (Benjamin again) to be her summer boyfriend. Gene (Eugene Mirman) is not as confident that his band are ready for their gig as they might be and Tina (Kristen Schall) is debating whether it's time to finally lose the bunny ears that have been her trademark since preschool.

Animation-wise, like "The Simpsons movie" before it, it sticks close to the style of the show, but add in a few expensive looking 3D CGI scenes for buildings and vehicles. Over the years, the show has become increasingly musical, so it's not surprising that there are several excellent songs in this run. I do think that they were a step up on the songs in the series too, proper catchy numbers.

I would say I thought that the second half of the film was stronger than the first, not that the first half was bad, but it has a lot of work to do to set up the various strands of the story that all come together in the second half. That worked for me though, and the moments I remember laughing at were all generally in that second half.

Do you need to see it on the silver screen? Perhaps not, but when it hits Disney Plus in a couple of months, it's essential viewing.

Never watched a full episode, just maybe a few minutes as I was channel surfing but this was a very entertaining movie. What made it unique were the constant quips and cleaver responses to the situation, and it was pretty much through almost the entire movie. Listen and enjoy the dialogue, had me smiling throughout the entire movie. I suspected I missed a lot since the puns and funnies are fast and furious, and it was the case. Even more fun the 2nd time around.

The Bob's Burgers Movie meets expectations. It's funny, purposeful, and developed enough to maintain investment. Fundamentally, it's a murder mystery, but also intertwines Bob's money issues (which is the emotional force). Plus, Louise is intrinsically motivated to prove her bravery, making her the main protagonist and giving her the clearest arc. Bob's Burgers doesn't have the tightest crafted humor, but these dynamic characters help it connect emotionally. The film is still lighthearted and silly (with skilled setup and payoff), but it peppers in enough drama to create substance. Thus, Bob's Burgers succeeds because it delivers a sincere combination of laughs and relatability.

Technically, Bob's Burgers is proficient. Surprisingly, there are musical numbers that heighten the soundtrack, cinematography, editing, and direction. There is dramatic lighting, framing, and camerawork. Also, passing cuts, smash cuts, and time lapses help the comedic rhythm. Furthermore, voice acting is ranged, animation is personal, and CGI is supportive. Punchlines are heightened by exaggerated music, transitions, and surrealism. Overall, the filmmaking reinforces the humorous mood. It isn't high art, but it possesses consistent craft. Therefore, Bob's Burgers is a fairly enjoyable experience. Viewers should expect skilled comedy and decent emotions.

The Bob's Burgers Movie has a wonderful and very interesting plot and it's built like a crime thriller put in a musical comedy, these 4 things blended perfectly with each other and it has surprisingly good musical numbers, that was a fresh new idea and I loved it, this movie is hilarious while also being very suspenseful at times, with high stakes and upgraded animation, and some of the most suspenseful scenes I've seen in years.
