Hamster et Gretel

Hamster and Gretel is a show created by Dan Povenmire that by this time already has an easy-to-detect identity seal, in the same way as other animators like Matt Groening or Craig McCracken.

On this occasion Dan, he gives us a series of superheroes now more than ever that is fashionable, but manages to have his own identity. This time we have two of the most peculiar heroes being a 9 year old girl and her pet hamster.

What makes the show interesting is that it knows how to use all its elements to its advantage: the intelligent humor that has characterized Dan Povenmire's series (Phineas and Ferb, Milo Murphy Law) but now satirizing the topics and elements of the series, movies and comics.

The secondary characters are memorable and endearing, they have elements that make them stand out and not be a mere walking cliche, with a brilliant musical section and references that the most adults will understand and the little ones will enjoy even if they never saw Adam West's batman or the references to silver age comics.

I hope more episodes in the future.

From the co-creator of Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy's Law, Hamster and Gretel is a rather enjoyable new show from Dan Povenmire. While starting a little rough with a hard to follow pilot episode, the show has since found its footing with subsequent episodes. The premise of aliens giving superpowers to a little girl and her pet hamster to fight villians that sometimes have powers that are just so random makes it quite amusing to watch. These random powers almost gives a sense of parody of the superhero genre in this show. It is also quite clear that there is a storyline to be explored with the aliens as they are playing a bigger role than just giving the title characters superpowers. The art style is fine in my opinion as it uses the same style of animation that the two shows previously mentioned above did.

What do you get when you cross Phineas and Ferb, Adventure Time, Milo Murphy and Kid Cosmic? You get Hamster and Gretel! The series is amazing with an all star cast and outstanding songs.

I didn't expect much (watching with my 5 year old). But I found myself laughing at some of the subtle/dry humor and my 5 year old would giggle at other parts.

I've read critiques of the animation but I found it to be easy to watch. I enjoy a "cartoon" format vs the 3d animation (Doc McStuffins, Puppy Dog Pals etc) which somehow gets dull.

My only critique is that its sometimes hard to hear or understand, which seems to be the case with a lot of new shows, but I always use subtitles anyway! Overall, it's a fun and dry show with some silly plots and fun one liners. Give it a few eps at least!!

Hamster & Gretel is a fun show for kids and adults to enjoy. Just like Phineas and Ferb, Hamster & Gretel has great comedy and an amazing art style. I hope more episodes are made!
