RMS and Brandon's First Episode (OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes Season 1 Episode 44) - 'Toon Reviews 19

RMS and Brandon’s First Episode
Some characters here are more important than others, but it’s still beneficial to get cartoons devoted to side characters.  Most turn out to be more than just cool looking background characters and make Lakewood Plaza Turbo feel much more fresh and alive. 
The starring side characters here are A Real Magic Skeleton (RMS) and Brandon the bear with the t-shirt that speaks his mind.  They mostly watch all the action other characters get up to and commentate on it.  Other times, they’re seen working at a frame store expressing an interesting dynamic where Brandon is more irresponsible while RMS is more competent and focused.  Their dynamic brings interesting subjects for this plot, even if only one of them truly benefits. 
We learn more about their workplace here than usual.  Their boss is an actual living painting of a medieval nobleman and RMS’s feelings on working there has huge relatability.  He’s put down about doing the same menial work of setting up frames and displays despite enjoying hanging with his Brandon. This seems like an accurate representation of how most people can feel when they can’t move past their first job.  The frame store does have an edge to it with a threatening-looking biker customer telling RMS and Brandon to set up a display for his helmet, but it’s not unlike most of the series.  These factors work in favor of RMS wanting to step out of complacency and get a new job despite it also being an equally menial coffee shop job.  His attitude feels like a healthy fit, and his anxieties on the idea of staying in the same dead-end job forever are convincing as to why a career change would be good. 
While this story reveals a lot about RMS, Brandon unfortunately doesn’t get the same development.  He’s portrayed as the same slacking goof he always is, and most of what he does for this plot is object to RMS changing careers.  How it’s frequently brought up does show the depths of their relationship, at times hinting that they’re more than friends. Nevertheless, in a cartoon devoted to both RMS and Brandon, things should be learned about both characters and not just one. 
Even if only RMS has any depth here, it’s nice that the climax provides shining moments for both characters in this relationship.  After a humorous scene of his boss lamenting being trapped in his frame, RMS is inspired to go out and get that new job while a typical Boxmore attack occurs.  There’s strong drama as he walks through the fray of battle and his bones fall apart.  While this does build atmosphere, it’s also kind of stupid for him to not just go around the fight.  Still, when RMS is nothing but a head, Brandon does get his biggest moment in the whole cartoon. After spending all his time complaining about his friend leaving for a new job, he awesomely picks up RMS’s bones while rushing to get him to the coffee shop amidst the fight.  Considering how much of a slacker he is, it’s great that Brandon would do this much activity to make his friend happy even if he doesn’t approve. 
The whole conflict turns out to be worthless when the ending has Drupe get the coffee shop job after hearing RMS talk about it earlier.  This means the status quo is maintained and nothing is done about RMS wanting to move on.  I can’t fault his and Brandon’s relationship remaining strong in the end, especially when that biker has them hug instead of getting mad that they wrecked his helmet. 
This isn’t a perfect starring role for RMS and Brandon by any means, but it still has good heart, relatable themes, and many strong instances of development.

'Toon Reviews 20: Star vs the Forces of Evil Season 2 Episode 2: Mr Candle Cares/Red Belt


If you like this review and want to stay updated for what else I have in store, become a follower of this blog, click here to like the official Facebook page, and click here to follow me on Twitter. Now on with today's review:
Mr. Candle Cares

What would a season of this show be without Star’s magical antics while observing Earth customs?  While most episodes like this were mostly present in the name of being funny, this one stands out for being a fairly good study on some of the characters involved. 
The Earth custom featured here is getting an idea for a future career, and this high school hears them from the guidance counselor Mr. Candle.  In particular, Star wants a career where she can roam free and tame beasts while Marco wants a career that ties into his intellect.  However, Mr. Candle offers them careers that neither of them are happy about, and for Star it’s a big problem because it’s something she’s been set up to become since the beginning, the next queen of Mewni.  It’s interesting not just because it makes sense for Star’s character, but it also highlights the major responsible aspects that come with being queen right away as opposed to the free-spirited perks like how most family material approaches the subject. 
In addition, the plot of getting career suggestions people aren’t happy with does have a nice twist to the setup. Marco discovers that they may not be accurate at all after catching Mr. Candle talking with Tom, Star’s demon ex-boyfriend.  It turns out that Tom had Mr. Candle rig all his career suggestion sessions so to have Star become queen so Tom could ultimately win her back as the new king of Mewni and under no circumstance wants her to end up with Marco.  Determined to get a better career than janitor on Garbage Island, Marco proceeds to tick Tom off and expose Mr. Candle as a fraud by saying he and Star are a couple.  While it is bold for him to expose the liar, it is stupid for Marco to get this cocky by making Tom so mad, especially since he knows how big his anger problem is, and that’s what happens when Tom drags him to the underworld. 
Fortunately, the strengths of Marco’s character are in effect when he calls out Tom for making Star think all she’s good for is being queen.  However, Tom’s anger issues give him the need to destroy Marco… by beating him at Ping-Pong, and it isn’t long before Marco feels the burn of playing the sport with a demon.  It’s during this scene though that brings about somewhat of a bond between Marco and Tom.  As they play, they talk about Star and everything great about her, including how she’s never held down by authority and does what her heart tells her, which also gets Tom to realize he can’t win her back by force.  It’s a positive step towards maturity for him especially since his attitude has put him in desperate need of one since his first appearance. 
With the message on how Star should just be her own free spirit and not let a career judgement control her brought about in an intriguing way, Marco proceeds to pass that lesson onto Star herself, who for all this time has put herself through ridiculous rituals to get out of becoming queen, culminating in her adopting a punk goth appearance.  Even if Star is still going to be queen anyway, the message is still inspiring since she can still run Mewni her way and be true to herself. 
In the end, we have Star being more comfortable with her future, Marco continuing to give sound advice, and even Tom becoming much humbler.  It all comes together as a fascinating take on a common plot thread.
A-



Red Belt

Being a karate star is a surprising thing to come from a moralistic character like Marco, but it is an interesting about him when he’s involved in action.  As a matter of fact, karate is one of the main things Marco lives for as the opening scene of the episode shows.  It’s an eerily staged dream sequence in which he’s left all alone in the dark while everyone he knows floats away on balloons as a sign that they’re moving on with their lives while he’s left in the dark.  The only potential thing he has to build a sustainable future for himself is getting his red belt in karate, but even that’s hard to achieve.  The whole dream sequence is not just a greatly staged moment of dark creativity, but also a relatable metaphor for how some people feel when facing the difficulties of forming a good future. 
This becomes Marco’s goal for the cartoon as he strives to go from green belt to red belt, securing his future as a karate master.  However, the training sessions from his sensei turn out to not be what Marco imagined.  Instead of the usual fighting skills Marco has been specializing in, he’s instead tasked to do menial jobs for Sensei, and it’s easy to see that he’s not really getting close to becoming a red belt at all.  As it turns out, this is exactly the case as the Sensei was just being a jerk by getting Marco to do his chores around his house, which is really his mothers’ house he happens to live in.  While Sensei living with his mother does add something to his character, the fact that he was tricking Marco into doing those chores the whole time kept the episode from getting to the meat of Marco getting his red belt thus hurting the appeal.  There is at least a legit reason for Sensei not providing Marco what he needs to advance.  He too is just a green belt which is somewhat of an interesting twist, but really makes you question how he got to be a sensei as well as how he got some students to go all the way up to black belt. 
So the episode turns its focus on getting a new red belt instructional videotape for both Marco and Sensei to follow on account that the one Sensei used to train got stuck in the VCR before he could finish it.  As someone who has a fondness for old VHS tapes and hearing stories of how VHS collectors found various tapes, I get a lot of enjoyment out of this story direction, and truth be told, there are some fun moments to it, especially Marco having to fight a nerdy looking thrift store owner for the tape who turns out to be big and muscular.  Adding to the fun is the use of old VHS mechanics as the storeowner fights back with tapes as nunchucks as well as the power of the eject button.  Plus, the search for the tape actually proves beneficial for both Marco and Sensei when Marco ends up winning the fight and the tape by following one of Sensei’s chore instructions.  Then they both simply follow the tape and Marco gets his belt. 
While what we have is entertaining enough to get Marco to where he needs to be, you can’t help but feel that glossing over the progress of him and Sensei actually working towards the red belt position wasn’t a smart move for the story.  There are also short scenes of Star trying to find a hammer to hang up a poster without magic cut into the story.  While they’re fun and show Star willingly start growing to not be so reliant on her wand, they don’t mesh with the main story and feel like distractions from what should be focused on. 
Still, I admire the episode for what it does right and see it as relatable to those who think about their future, and those with VHS nostalgia.

'Toon Reviews 16: Hey Arnold Season 3 Episode 9: Career Day/Hey Harold


Career Day









A show with a huge cast has the opportunity to give good development to any of them.  This cartoon, which has Arnold’s class join some of the adults to join them for their jobs for career day, fits the bill. 
For most kids, we only get short scenes of them working certain jobs chosen at random.  Some of them are fitting for their characters like Helga as a cop, while others are unusual like Gerald as a firefighter and to a larger extent, Phoebe working in demolition with Ernie.  However, they all adjust to working these careers very well.  Because this only takes up a small part of the cartoon, this isn’t where the character development is. 
These moments contrast how hard a time Arnold has with his assigned career, assistant to the neighborhood’s ice cream man, the Jolly Olly Man.  Before, the Jolly Olly Man has had little scenes of delivering ice cream, and being a totally rude cheapskate trying to raise his ice cream to unreasonable prices in his rare big roles.  Arnold states that the Jolly Olly Man hates kids and is on the brink of insanity.  It feels that way at first with much unpleasantness that comes from Arnold having to work with the Jolly Olly Man.  He forces Arnold to ride in the freezer, refuses to let him help with handing out ice cream, and takes the money from his customers, but rarely gives them the ice cream they want.  Basically, the Jolly Olly Man can really try your patience for how unbelievably unlikable he is all throughout. 
Even if his unlikable moments aren’t enjoyable, they work thanks to the direction the story takes that brings on his development.  For how harsh he is, the Jolly Olly Man is nothing compared to his boss.  He belittles him with harsh insults, threatens to terminate his only job if he doesn’t empty his freezer, and is continuously eying him just waiting for him to fail.  He’s not shown as much as the Jolly Olly Man, but the boss’ brief moments leave an impression far nastier than anything we’ve seen of the other guy.  If that’s not enough, the boss is actually the Jolly Olly Man’s dad, giving the impression that the ice cream man had an abusive childhood, a believable cause for his mean behavior.  That combined with being stuck with a job he doesn’t like flesh the Jolly Olly Man out not as a heartless monster, but as someone far more relatable.  He may hate his job, but knows he has to deal with it after being fired from over 50 jobs before.  It’s all that he has for income and he knows better than to let it go which is something I feel makes sense for most people when it comes to jobs, though normally with the first jobs they ever have. 
From here, with selling all the ice cream as a motivation, he starts coming around through accepting Arnold’s help.  It takes a while to grasp things, which include some slightly disturbing moments, but how well the Jolly Olly Man ends up because of Arnold’s teaching is truly impressive.  By the end of the day, he becomes much friendlier with his customers culminating with him happily giving away the rest of the ice cream to Arnold’s classmates and the people they worked with that day.  Him laughing maniacally when his dad reluctantly says he can keep his job does still give an unsettling vibe from his weak points, but it doesn’t indicate that he lost what he learned. 
As a result, this cartoon comes off as a relatable take on careers with a heck of a character to follow through it.  9/10


Hey Harold!










At this point, it’s clear that Harold has more depth than it may appear.  Whenever there’s a cartoon about him, chances are it’s going to be a high-tier work.  Such is the case with this cartoon that’s all about him going through a relatable phase of life, as well as get through it on his own. 
Nearly all of PS 118 is invited to a party said to include dancing, and Harold continuously shoots down the idea of dancing with a girl and even going to the party.  This starts us off with Harold’s immature and sensitive flaws with the idea constantly hammered in by Sid and Stinky, and even his parents.  Harold gives into the pressure and goes to the party, and while he doesn’t socialize at first, he meets someone who happens to be a lot like him. 
In a remarkable turn of events, this episode gives us another cartoon to develop Big Patty.  Just as before, she’s presented as a bully character with believable reasons for her behavior.  In fact, most are similar to the reasons why Harold is sometimes a bully.  They’re insecure about their appearances and intellects both on their own accord and from what others say, which makes them act out or isolate themselves.  They both find each other when they walk away from the party, and despite starting off rough, mostly fueled by Harold’s constant insistence on not dancing with a girl, they slowly warm up to each other after Harold proves that he can dance with a girl.  Then they bond as the night goes on talking about what they typically get up to in life, and even personal information, right down to doing so long after the party ends.  It may not feel like much, but just the simple moments of two social outcasts who look intimidating finding common ground and bonding over it naturally is impactful in its own right.  They’re shining moments for them to get past their own weaknesses and further prove that even if people have faults, they’re human beings getting through life when all is said and done, one of the most important things for people to learn. 
It’s after this when there’s a lot of discomfort.  Stinky and Sid never stop badgering Harold about the absurdity of hanging out with Big Patty while his parents are keen to rush his relationship with her.  After seeing a lot of them together, it’s impossible not to feel annoyed by how others feel about the idea of the pairing.  Sid and Stinky are especially problematic for how condescending they are about Big Patty.  It makes me wonder why he even considers them his friends.  Along with Stinky’s lack of interesting traits and Sid’s annoying obsessing, together they’re quite the detractor.  In the end, Harold makes up for their insensitivities when after thinking about it, he decides to make his true feelings clear by yelling at Stinky and Sid that he likes Big Patty and doesn’t care what they think.  Is it socially appropriate? No, but what he says still has truth to it, and him finally sitting with Big Patty at lunch is an adorable finish to his arc for the cartoon. 
It closes everything with a moment to sell the appeal of these social outcasts, reminding that at the end of the day, no one should pressure you into thinking a certain way.  As a reviewer, the latter message is especially meaningful, as should be the case with any aspiring reviewers out there. 9.5/10

'Toon Reviews 16: Hey Arnold Season 3 Episode 1: The Aptitude Test/Oskar Gets a Job


This time, we’re taking another trip to the city of mad crushes, crazy boarders and football heads among other things for a season’s worth of adventures:

Hey Arnold (Season 3)

BASIC PREMISE
The animated shows of Nickelodeon are among some of the most nostalgic for me, and Hey Arnold is the one that’s easily held up the best.  As the first animated series I reviewed for this blog, I consider this show to be a mainstay, one I’m more than willing to share with anyone who loves reading animation reviews, at least until the day I review everything there is to the show.  It’s a slice-of-life show that focuses on the day-to-day lives of the many characters who live in a neighborhood of a single city.  It doesn’t sound like much, but as looks into the first two seasons have shown, it’s practically masterful as a slice-of-life show delving into subjects relatable to adults as well as kids, and making good use of its huge cast by giving interesting traits to almost all of them.  Along with a wholesome urban setting, smooth jazzy and character-driven music cues, and every story in general getting deeper and more mature as the show goes on, you’re almost always in for a positive experience with this series.  Now, we’ll be looking into the third season to see how well it builds upon the strengths of the show and what it ultimately does for the characters and their world.
Just like with the other looks at the seasons, the order of the reviews will be based off the official order found on the Hey Arnold wiki for a better flow of show events and to factor in cartoons truly created for the season and not held back to air in the middle of other seasons.  If you look to that site, you’ll most likely get a good idea of what will be covered and when.  With all this said, let’s not waste any more time and get ready for more adventures with Arnold Shortman (thanks Jungle Movie) and company.


Now on with the reviews:
The Aptitude Test









One of the most challenging parts of anyone’s life is finding a suitable career.  From my experience, some might know what they want to do but have a hard time breaking in (like me) and some don’t know what they want to make of themselves.  The plot of this cartoon relates those in the latter category, and brings a lot of crazy outcomes as a result. 
Arnold’s class is assigned an aptitude test to find possible career paths to take.  The most focus is on two kids at opposite ends of the knowledge spectrum.  There’s Helga, an incredibly talented kid with a lot of potential in life, and Harold, an unintelligent student who can never pay attention in class.  These traits of theirs is easy to see as you watch them take the aptitude test with Helga studiously answering the questions and Harold giving the same answer without care. 
The whole thing really gets interesting when Eugene fumbles collecting the tests and accidentally switches two of them.  As a result, they make it seem like Harold’s smart and can be anything, while Helga is only good enough for the lowest type of career, a woodsperson.  We then see different effects on Helga and Harold’s lifestyles as a result of the test score mix-up. 
With Helga, there’s a lot to her apparent calling as a nature girl.  As someone who’s thrived on exquisite poetry, there’s a sympathetic layer of her feeling that her talents were never good enough and that she should abandon her passion, not to mention her parents, as you’d expect, don’t care about this serious academic blunder.  There’s also solid comedy from her attempts at being rural such as her making the same pinecone sculpture, struggling to live off the land, and believing all country people talk in a southern drawl and are inherently dumb. 
As for Harold, his score leads to a much different experience.  He’s pushed to do more intellectual things since he’s apparently a genius. Since his score was mixed up, you’d think he wouldn’t be able to do it.  However, he puts in genuine effort into the brainy stuff, and he latches onto it fairly well opening up a different side we haven’t really seen from him before. It’s a very nice change of pace. 
Regarding how we know that what Helga and Harold think about themselves isn’t true, while this messes with the surprise factor of the mysteries of the scores, it works due to a variety of tones.  Along with her feeble attempts at being simple, the truth of the matter makes Helga’s moments a comedic highlight.  With Harold, the truth makes the moments of him being smart kind of sad since he has a good grasp on what he tackles, but it’s all built on a fallacy.  The audience knowing the truth also works for how other characters point out how strange Harold and Helga are acting, culminating with Mr. Simmons studying their test scores and discovering the mix-up. 
With the truth exposed comes more variations on how to feel, both of which are positive.  Helga’s outcome is relieving and humorous when she’s quick to write more poems after her mom nonchalantly burns her collection fitting to a prior request.  Harold’s outcome is much more impactful when he’s upset that his score was very low at first, but through being reminded of his great performance this past week, he learns that no one is truly stupid.  He really can be smart if he believes in himself, which in turn is encouraging advice for anyone in real life. 
The cartoon succeeds in many ways with a relatable center, strong entertainment and sentiment, and relatable life advice that help make this show as great as it is. 9.5/10
Oskar Gets a Job









Despite not being a good person, Oskar Kokoshka is one of the funniest characters on the show, and the resident of Arnold’s boarding house I enjoy the most.  This is a guy who doesn’t want to work for what he needs, so he never takes the necessary initiatives for success and opts to take the easy way out, coming off as lazy and untrustworthy.  The thing that keeps Oskar enjoyable though is how it never feels like he’s trying to be bad, and only does unethical acts to get by because he’s naïve and doesn’t get why it’s bad.  In addition, his mooching ways are seen as a problem that everyone is wise enough not to buy into as the opening of this cartoon shows. 
When Oskar needs to pay off a loan shark, he goes to the other boarders to try and coax them into giving him the money, and they bluntly refuse in hilarious ways.  It’s certainly great to see others not encourage this behavior, but Oskar is still likable enough to hope he gets the money he needs through trying to be nice to get his way and never intending any sort of harm.  He's a character who is fun to watch, while also one we should strive to never be like. 
Aiding in Oskar working as his true self is the main plot of the cartoon.  When he begs for Arnold's help to get money, Oskar learns that the logical way around his problem is to get a job, so he can make his own money and not have to mooch off other people.  It’s a good step towards character development for Oskar, but the fact that he’s a 38-year-old man who never worked in his life makes it very difficult for him to apply for jobs. This is a believable drawback in job hunting, especially since I know it can be difficult to get a job in general, even if you’re not a lazy bum like Oskar. 
Speaking of a lazy bum, Oskar’s bad habits are still prominent when he finally gets a job as a paperboy, which is usually reserved for young boys.  Even after learning how helpful having a job can be, Oskar simply doesn’t want to do the hard work that comes with it, so he works around the issue by faking ailments so Arnold can deliver the newspapers for him.  These moments are some of the more problematic approaches to Oskar’s habits since Arnold buys into Oskar’s two lies despite being aware of what he typically does.  At least he’s quick to uncover the lies when he notices Oskar eating pancakes after claiming to have the Chinese stomach flu and dancing after saying he had a bad back. 
When confronted, Oskar remains likable by simply not understanding that it’s wrong to get other people to do hard work meant for him and doesn’t sound like he wants to make Arnold suffer.  Still, it’s great that Arnold breaks from his typical nice guy routine and is firm about how unappreciative he is of Oskar not actually doing his own job.  Along with subsequent moments of the boarders talking about how much of a loser he is, Oskar’s good side is finally made clear when he vows to deliver the newspapers the next morning, and he sticks to that vow. 
After so many scenes of him loafing about and trying to avoid actually working, Oskar gets that doing your own work is a necessary evil to get by in life, and through going through the hardships young Arnold faced and successfully delivering the papers, he brings the cartoon to a grand end.  He may still be a lazy moocher in future appearances, but moments like this prove that Oskar truly isn’t as bad as he lets on, which is always a great payoff to his big display of flaws, and make him worth watching. 
It’s truly an impressive feat to get a lot of endearment and strong comedy from a lazy jerk, and what Oskar gets up to here is no exception. 9/10
