This is a really fun cartoon that delivers splendidly with
the storytelling, characterization, humor, and relationship development. The fun really starts when Lincoln, after
ducking Ronnie Anne so to avoid going to the Sadie Hawkins Dance as opposed to
a night at the arcade, gets roped into going to the dance with four girls who
just happen to be generously chosen for him by my top four Loud sisters, Luna,
Lucy, Lynn, and Luan. From the rocking
and cute sounding Tabby, to the silent and poetic Haiku, to the constantly
roller blading Polly, to the comedian straight out of clown school Giggles,
each of the girls Lincoln ends up dating all prove to be an entertaining bunch
of characters who really bring about a certain charm to the scenes they’re
in. It’s also really cool to see how
Lincoln manages to juggle all four of the dates without anyone
noticing what he’s up to. However, this
cartoon proves that none of those girls will replace Ronnie Anne in his eyes,
so much of the cartoon ends up being a challenge for him to keep her from
finding out what's going on as well as continuing to keep his dates happy. Once again, it’s really clever and amusing as
to how he gets around the challenge by having Clyde and three random boys he
knows spend time with the four dates, and the dates actually end up enjoying
their company more than Lincoln’s. The
four pairings we get are easily some very good fits, including Clyde and Haiku
who bond over the shared experience of love with an older person. I’d really like to see more of this couple
than Clyde constantly flirting over Lori.
As for Lincoln, it’s especially great that he ends up happy in the end
as well. At first, Ronnie Anne catches
him at the dance and it looks like their relationship will be soured. Then, we go on to further see how alike they
really are when Lincoln tells her the whole truth, and she reveals that she’s
not really into the Sadie Hawkins Dance either.
This honesty and understanding is a great way to show that Lincoln and
Ronnie Anne are a nice couple to get behind and all the reason to be happy for
them when they both have a fun time at the arcade as the cartoon comes
to an end. This is a start to finish
delight with a lot of fun and nice moments from characters old and new. 9.5/10
A Fair to Remember
So many great moments from the characters involved are packed
into this cartoon, and it all comes together very nicely. One of them involves Lincoln finding a big
brother figure in Lori’s boyfriend, Bobby.
Seeing the two of them enjoy themselves in so many ways as bros feels so
nice and pleasing, mostly for how much it must mean for Lincoln since he lives
with so many sisters. It also does a
good job of fleshing out Bobby’s character beyond just being Lori’s boyfriend. “Save the Date” showed just how great of a
big brother he is to Ronnie Anne, allowing her feelings to decide the decisions
he makes, but here we learn that underneath that, he wishes he had a brother to
feel complete. That’s more than enough
proof that he and Lincoln make a great pair.
As fun as it is to watch Lincoln and Bobby enjoy themselves, it doesn’t
prevent you from feeling for Lori. As
the one who convinced Bobby to hang out with Lincoln, the fact that she gets sidelined as they grow closer as friends greatly shows off how much she
did not expect what would become of this idea.
This makes it all appropriate to care about the fact that Lori is
basically a lost cause without Bobby which is especially felt as Lori spends
most of the cartoon trying to make Bobby jealous by having an unconscious Clyde
accompany her to the county fair.
Throughout the fair scenes, the cartoon excels at playing with your
emotions making you enjoy watching Lincoln and Bobby have a fun time while also
feel sorry for Lori as she tries to get her boyfriend back in addition to Clyde
not being conscious to know that he’s spending time with his crush. What’s more, things actually conclude in a
way that’s satisfying for everyone.
Lincoln and Bobby decide that most of Bobby’s attention should go
towards Lori but agree to hang out once in a while, Lori gets her boyfriend
back, and Clyde gets a reminder of his time with Lori at the fair and
it’s actually a nice moment unlike other times he expresses his love for
her. It’s refreshing that after all
we’ve seen, all the characters involved end up happy, with many relationships
re-established, and others giving the impression that this is not the last
we’ll see of them. Everything in this
cartoon puts together one of the best displays of character moments on the
show, which is all you need to convince yourself to come back to it. 9.5/10
