Movie Night: The Powerpuff Girls Movie.


Review #417: The Powerpuff Girls Movie.

Cast
Cathy Cavadini (Blossom), Tara Strong (Bubbles), E.G. Daily (Buttercup), Roger L. Jackson (Mojo Jojo), Tom Kane (Professor Utonium), Tom Kenny (Mayor, Narrator, Li'l Arturo, Snake, Cha-Ching Cha-Ching, and Mitch Mitchelson), Jennifer Hale (Ms. Keane), Jennifer Martin (Sarah Bellum), and Jeff Bennett (Ace, Big Billy, Grubber, Baboon Kaboom, Go-Go Patrol, and Hacha Chacha) Directed by Craig McCracken.

Review
The Powerpuff Girls was admittedly a show that most people born around the 90's/2000's do remember (Unless of course there's a certain type of people who don't have the cable television to watch the show until much, much later), and the show even had its own film, with the original cast and everything. The film doesn't depend on people to watch the show because this film just so happens to be a prequel to the series. The actors and actresses from the show all reprise their roles for the film, which is a good thing. The film doesn't last too long at only 70 minutes, but this film at least makes a case for even needing to exist, and while it may have violence that could be debatable for criticism, there is effort made into making this, and the animation looks good, an improvement from the show, and that makes sense being on the big screen and all. It's a decent film that has its moments, for the most part.

Overall, I give it 7 out of 10 stars.

Movie Night: The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.



Review #242: The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.

Cast
Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick Star), Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward Tentacles), Mr. Lawrence (Sheldon J. Plankton), Alec Baldwin (Dennis), Scarlett Johansson (Princess Mindy), and Jeffrey Tambor (King Neptune) Directed by Stephen Hillenburg.

Review
Oh dear, here we are. Based off the popular series created in 1999 by Stephen Hillenberg, this film apparently was intended to be the series finale. Intended being the main word. This film might seem like one of those annoying things that could destroy minds and make you question why this was made, but is it really? Yes and no. The animation is alright, with some good acting here and there. And...the plot does feel like a finale, which feels like closure....until you realize the show would later be renewed and continue on for more....adventures if you want to call it that. And that brings up a little flaw for me, if Plankton steals the formula (which he does), and yet loses it anyway, why didn't he just memorize it down and make his own Krabby Patties again after eventually escaping from his incarceration? While the film is at least a little funny in its approach, it'll be one of those love or hate films. I find it...Less then evil. Countdown to 250: 10, 9, 8...

Overall, I give it 7 out of 10 stars.
