Costume Quest

I loved the series it reminded me of Gravity falls. It's plot keeps you interested and it was a fun surprise to see the different variations of costumes the main characters would wear and the powers that came along with it. If you want a fun show that's entertaining and along the same type as Gravity fall's give this show a try you won't be disappointed!!

This series reminds me so much of Gravity Falls. And that is all in a positive way. Good animation reminiscent of Nickelodeon cartoons from the 90's.

I would love this so much more of it wasn't for some of the annoying characters. Main characters no less. Wren one of the lead characters is unbearable. She is entitled loud self centred and generally unpleasant. She has all the makings of an antisocial personality disorder. Its awful. My entire experience has been ruined by her. And i really wanted to like this as much as I liked Gravity Falls. Please if anyone who writes for the show reads this... please change her attitude. Its not the makings of a strong character. Its just annoying and well it makes me hate her. And makes my experience with the show a negative one.

My 4 year old was wild about this show and we actually ended up rewatching all of the seasons together multiple times in the past few years. It's one of those shows fun enough for adults to enjoy but wholesome for the littles.

I agree with other's reviews that there are flawed characters in the show but I think that's part of the fun - people aren't perfect and neither are these kids and that's ok.

Tl; Dr: if your kid wants to watch this show sit down and spend some time enjoying it with them 🙂

I have yet to play the video games that the show's based on, so I don't know how accurate it is. However, from watching the whole series at 19 years old, I found it quite enjoyable. It's got a unique yet familiar art style, a pretty creative yet reliable premise, an epically catchy opening theme, and the right amount of spookiness for kids and grownups alike.

The only weakness I recognize is that the different story arcs in each episode are fairly predictable. Borderline cliché plots of Lucy wanting to prove to her mom that she's a big girl, Reynold trying to be brave to help his friends, etc. I can forgive that because the show is technically targeted towards children between seven and twelve years old, but to older viewers like parents or teenage siblings, it can be seen as something boring you got to trudge through in order to witness the monster battles and the four best friends' inevitable victory. That's the only weak spot I could perceive, though. Other than that, Costume Quest is solid family programming and given its spooky weird atmosphere, it could be a nice thing for little ones to watch leading up to Halloween.

Gorgeous art, and strong storytelling. Silliness constantly makes me smile.

All the different costumes are fantastic! I'm sure all those different characters/costumes makes it a very expensive show to create but I appreciate it.

Some family shows are designed for kids with a lot still in it for adults. I think Costume Quest is a bit predictable for adults, but it's still so gorgeous and entertaining that you'll really enjoy it. Super wholesome and lots of fun.
