Sherclop Pones, You Are A Genius! (Foaly Matripony Re-review)

Sherclop Pones, You Are A Genius! (Really. I mean it. Pinkie Promise.)

Hi! I'm Matthais the Critic! I review stuff because I want to!

For those of you who know me well, you probably know that I really hated Sherclop Pones and their MLP:FiM abridged series "Friendship is Witchcraft." My hatred, anger, and rage was fierce, ferocious, and ugly. I said some really bad things, and I really did go overboard. But now that I've stepped away from the Brony fandom for a while and thought things through, I realized something.

Sherclop Pones and Friendship is Witchcraft is actually a lot smarter that I gave it credit for. In fact, I'm willing to say that it's actually GOOD.

Why my sudden turn around? I'm actually not really sure. I was just thinking about it and POOF! It all suddenly made sense to me.

Now, I could go a hundred ways with this and end up going in circles, so how about this. I'm gonna embed my video review of "Hold Matripony" in this blog. Go ahead and watch it if you want. After that, I am going to give you my new take on the abridged episode and point out how wrong I truly was.

Oh boy, that was one of my worst moments. I didn't even know that Sherclop Pones was more than one person. Okay, now onto explain why I've suddenly had a change of heart.

First we have Sherclop Pones' running gag of Spike always getting abused. This really bothered me because I LOVE dragons, and I really like Spike's character, so seeing Spike's abhorrent treatment at the hooves of Evil!Twilight made my blood boil. However, now I see what Sherclop Pones was trying to get across:

THE WRITERS OF THE ACTUAL SHOW ABUSE SPIKE TOO!

Sherclop Pones exaggerated Spike's abuse in the abridged series in order to make a point. Yes, Spike does have some really great moments in the show . . . IN SEASON ONE (and Lesson Zero)! But then we have Spike eating ice cream until he's sick, Spike getting constantly beat up in "Princess Twilight Sparkle" Parts 1 and 2, Spike conforming to pony society because "all dragons are evil," Spike turning into a klutzy moron in "Spike at Your Service," Spike not getting invited to social events (Twilight's birthday, Maud Pie, Ms Harshwhinny, Daring Don't), Spike being a whimp in "Inspiration Manifestation", and of course, The Two Towers of Spike Torture Porns: "Just For Side Kicks" and "Equestria Games." My hatred for those two episodes knows no bounds.

So in the end, Sherclop was just trying to tell us how abused Spike really is.

Second is the incest storyline. This is something that got me really angry the first time around. So, how can I be okay with an incest storyline?

Well, here's the thing.

. . . .

There is none.

There is no incest in this story, at least, it's not in the way you think.

In abridged series, the creator will sometimes change the back-stories or events in order to tell a slightly different story. The viewers have to be aware of those changes in order to enjoy the abridged version fully.

In Friendship is Witchcraft, Shining Armor was ADOPTED by Twilight's parents. Twilight was old enough to understand this, and also old enough to form a crush. However, since her parent adopted this colt, this made it nearly impossible for Twilight to be his girlfriend, even though she had a genuine crush on him. In other words, Sherclop Pones took this ego-maniacal mare who abused Spike and deceived Luna (or Molestia in FiW world), and made her a TRAGIC HERO that you could technically feel bad for.

What I'm getting at here is that if Sherclop Pones were all evil people like I said, they would have done what hundreds of fanfic writers did and just made Twilight incestuous. But Sherclop actually made the effort to constantly remind the viewers that "they're not biologically related." The "I insist/incest" joke was just that: a bad joke. No one's perfect.

Anyway, with this new mindset, you can listen to the song "It'll Be Okay" and actually feel kinda sad for Twilight. If some other family had adopted Shinning Armor, then thing would've been a whole lot happier . . . maybe.

And if you still hate the song, well then, think of it as a parody of the "BBBFF" song from "A Royal Canterlot Wedding." That song came out of nowhere and it was kinda sappy and silly and a poor way to introduce a character we never met before! So Twilight suddenly has an older brother out of nowhere? Really?

Now, before we move on, you're probably wondering: Do I think Twilight's actions and feelings are okay? Well, no, she should still let Shinning Armor be with Not Evil Good Pony, and her obsession with Shinning Armor is pretty bad. Sherclop Pones knows this too, which is why after the song, Applejack says, "That's the creepiest thing I've ever heard." See, stuff like that makes it okay.

Third  is the total ineptness of the mane five. Applejack saying "Princess" over and over again, Rainbow Dash saying "whoa, what are these weird thingies on my back," and everyone including Celestia nad Luna going "huh? uh? wha? uh?" I thought it was just Sherclop Pones insulting our intelligence, but then I asked myself a question, a question that I am gonna ask all of YOU.

What did Celestia, Luna, and the mane five actually DO in "A Royal Canterlot Wedding"?




So, by making everyone kind of stupid, worthless, and pathetic, Sherclop Pones is parodying how they didn't do anything in the source material.

Fourth is the Sockem Boppers joke. I didn't like it because it was parodying the GAK Meme from "The Crystal Empire," the wrong episode. But then I realized, maybe Sherclop Pones is just never going to parody "The Crystal Empire." Also, "Foaly Matripony" came out when the GAK Meme was popular. They had to strike when the iron was hot. And lastly, what else could they have done? Dub over the interviews? Who wants to see human beings? Also, wouldn't that be insulting the celebrities? The Sockem Boppers joke was funny, end of story.

Fifth is the pointless moments. Sherclop Pones likes to but pointless moments in the abridged episode. In this episode, it's Twilight drinking noisily from a straw. Is that as bad as I made it out to be? It's a waste of time, yes. It's annoying, yes. But it's not terrible. It's kind of like how Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey spends whole scenes on a ship floating in space. Maybe it's just a new style that's ahead of it's time? Maybe Twilight sitting there sucking on a straw is supposed to mean something about her character?

Sixth is how Cadence was SO good and Twilight couldn't see it. Okay, I felt that making Cadence not be a Changeling and Twilight being the evil one was too obvious and predictable of an abridged series. And yes, that is true, but there's something else going on here. In "A Canterlot Wedding," we could see what Twilight was seeing: the truth of Cadence  being evil. But let's suppose we didn't see it from Twilight's perspective. We'd assume Twilight is being over protective and possessive of her brother and is making poor Cadence miserable because of it. So, by making Cadence a "Not Evil Good Pony" surrounded by incompetence and an ego-manaical Twilight Sparkle, we can see the flawed and crazed Twilight we would have seen if Cadence hadn't been replaced by Queen Chrysalis.

And last is Twilight murdering Cadence and marrying Shinning Armor. Yes, I hate this ending. I don't like it when the villain wins. Unfortunately, Twilight is a the villain protagonist of this abridged series, so she kinda has to win. Also, all these characters are parodies and spoof of the real ones, so why does it really matter who wins and who looses? Yes, Cadence is the only "Good" character on this show (okay, Sweetie Bot and Spike are "Good" too), but she didn't have much of a character (both abridged and cannon). Her death was dark, but it was done only because it was an abridged series and it needed to have shock value. It was also a way of calling out how Cadence just disappeared for a while after the wedding and only appeared in The Crystal Empire and then only made a come back after Twilight became an Alicorn, which was long after this abridged episode was made.

So, in the end, I respect Sherclop Pones for making a good SATIRE of Friendship is Magic. They're not evil or immoral, they just have a slightly different sense of humor. I might review some other Friendship is Witchcraft episodes later on, but for now, I think I've had enough. Watch the abridged series yourself and make your own conclusions.

Oh yeah, and as for Voice of Reason's negative review on this abridged series . . . sorry Voice, but it looks like you're once again the only Brony who dislikes it. Again, sorry.

Why I Hate Rankin Bass' "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"

There is an ulterior motive in my writing this review. Yes, I do enjoy reviewing things. Yes, I did do this to entertain you. However, deep down, my ulterior motive was to give you a glimpse into how I see the world through my own eyes. I figured that if I took a common denominator, i.e. this movie trilogy, and gave you what I feel and think about it, it would give you a little more insight into how my mind works when it is presented with certain things. Also, I figured it would show you a little more about my personality works, as well as the kind of unique sense of humor I have. Well, let us begin.

 

            I really do not like “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.” You're probably wondering how I could possibly dislike such a sweet, timeless, Christmas classic. Well, I can easily understand your shock. Hopefully, I will be able to explain myself. This is going to be long, so I hope you have plenty of time. I won't mince words, so I'll get right to into it. Why don't we start with what is so glaringly wrong with the characters first.

            Santa Claus

            First off, why is Santa so skinny? I find it really weird! Mrs. Claus lampshades it and encourages him to eat, but it still doesn't help. In fact, it makes it even more unsettling. Also, why is he such a mean, spiteful, jerk? He's always uptight, nervous, and angry in this movie. Is that why he's so skinny? Well, I'm sorry, but I don't care how nervous you are, you are no way, no how, going to burn off 7 billion plates of cookies! And it's not even funny! In the scene where the elves sing “We Are Santa's Elves” for the first time, look at Santa. He looks like he wants to kill somebody! The song wasn't even bad! The elves were just bumping into each other for some reason. But, oh my gosh, this Santa was just so mean! Rolling his eye and grumbling at a very nice, happy song dedicated to him, and he just storms off and slams the door in their faces (Mrs. Claus' slam doesn't count, she was hurrying after Santa). However, one of the most unsettling scenes has to be when Rudolph's false nose comes off and “all of the other reindeer” begin to “laugh and call him names. Not only does Santa not defend Rudolph, he says this:

“Donner, you ought to be ashamed of yourself! What a pity! He had a good take-off too!”

            This line really bothers me. A lot. Blame that on the fact that I over think things and have a scientific mind. The average person would interpret the line thusly:

“Donner, how could you embarrass your own son like this! Hiding his nose just to have it suddenly revealed all at once! It spoiled his great take-off!”

            However, I don't think this interpretation would be correct. If Santa really felt this was, then why does he just storm off and allow Rudolph to be bullied? He's Santa Claus, for goodness sake! Why is he letting his reindeer be naughty? He even let's Comet bully him for crying out loud! So, no, here are the two ways I interpret Santa's line:

a) “Donner, how could you have such messed up genes! Look at this mutant you produced! Who cares if he can fly well!”

b) “Donner, how could you choose a mate with such messed up genes! Look at this mutant you made with her! Who cares if he can fly well!”

            I know it's really morbid, but when Santa says Donner “should be ashamed,” I immediately think he's referring to having Rudolph, seeing as he doesn't even try to defend the poor child! This rendition of Santa Claus stinks! Put yourself on the naught list you heartless jerk!

            Donner

            This guy has a lot of nerve. When they first see Rudolph's nose, the mother says, “We'll just have to overlook it,” but this punk says in a disgusted tone, “How can you overlook that!?” Wow. . .his own son. . .one day old. . .and he's disgusted with him already. What – a – jerk. And then, we have that scene a few years later where he forces Rudolph to wear that torturous false nose. Thin of having to wear a close pin on your nose. . .every day! It's like they wanted to portray the abusive father trope in G-rated way. Sorry, but G-rated or not, it's still hard to watch! This is way too much. I mean, his own family doesn’t support him? You know, in real life, kids who are bullied in school and then get no support from their parents become part of a certain statistic. . .but I digress.

            Yes, I know that Sam the Snowman Narrator says that Donner “felt pretty bad about how he treated Rudolph,” but you know what? I doubt that very highly. After all, Sam's exact words were, “You can imagine that Donner felt,” who's to say how he really felt. Maybe he was going after Rudolph because, well, it's his son, he belongs to him!

            And another thing, I find the way his antlers keep drooping like the ears on a sad bunny really weird and wrong. Even more wrong than a glowing red nose, for crying out loud!

            Comet

            I hate this guy so much. I could punch this guy right in the face, I really could! What kind of adult joins the bullies? It wasn't even really necessary for the scene. Everyone else was already laughing at Rudolph, is it really necessary to have an adult be such a. . . there are no words to describe him! And he is never punished for it! Santa just allows it. Santa allows the reindeer he puts in charge of training the other young reindeer to be a horrible piece of trash! If a hunter ever spots a deer with a whistle around it's neck, NO MERCY! Also, Comet's supposed to be in the second row of deer from the front on Santa's sleigh team, right? Sure, Cupid's right next to him, so he could get caught in the crossfire. . .oh never mind.

            Fireball

            Okay, okay, okay. Here you got Fireball. A reindeer with a tuft of orange hair on his head. Why has no one ever bullied him? I mean, my gosh. I did the research, reindeer don't have tufts of orange hair on their heads! I mean, there were possibilities unexplored here. You could've had four misfits! Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, Hermie the dentist, Yukon Cornelius the prospector, and Fireball the orange headed reindeer. Fireball is a misfit! He's different from everyone else, just like Rudolph. They BOTH should have been bullied. What gives Fireball the right to laugh at Rudolph? Look in the mirror, you're a freak too!

            And another thing, Fireball is apparently Rudolph's first “friend.” He's the first buck Rudolph meets, and they start off on pretty friendly terms. They have a cute little victory-spar after Rudolph does his flying (Two males having a friendly “play-fight” is common in real life and fiction. It's been seen in many cartoons and Brian Jacques used it many times in his Redwall books). Fireball even helps Rudolph and Clarice get together. However, all this friendliness just makes it even worse when he betrays him as soon as the false nose falls off. And it's kind of weird how it happens. He explains, “Great balls of fire! (Hahaha, I see what you did there, let's all laugh at the Incredibly Lame Pun.) K-k-keep away from me!” Okay, so apparently he's scared. But wait, then he starts to bully and mock him! What the hay? Is this guy bipolar or something? It's like, he's not sure which emotion to go with, so he just randomly switches between them.

            And here's something else weird about him. When we first meet him, what's the first thing on his agenda? Girls. One of the first things he says to Rudolph is, “Let's show off in front of the does!” Okay, what's the word I'm looking for? Horny? Uh. . .Flirtatious? I mean, my gosh, this guy could give Pepe Le Pew a run for his money! I know that they're animals, so finding a mate would be high on their minds, but, come on, this is a fantasy Christmas special, not Nature on PBS!

            But wait, there's more! Just when you think this character couldn't get any more unpleasant, we have a scene that happens after Rudolph “grows up” and returns to the North Pole. Fireball looks up, sees Rudolph and says, “Hey, look! I thought you were gone for good!” You wanted him to die out there? Curse you, Fireball! You are a sick, sadistic psychopath!

            King Moonracer

            Now, this character is very cool, I have to admit. He's a huge, winged lion with a crown, a palace, his own private island, the works. However, there are three big problems with him.

1.      Why is a lion living in the North Pole? Lions live in Africa, where it's hot all year round. In the North Pole, its always freezing! Sure, this is a world with flying reindeer, but reindeer are native to cold climates. Lions are not! How does he survive? And what does he eat? Seals? Fish? Whales? If I were in charge here, I would've made him a polar bear with wings. That would have made a lot more sense!

2.      How does bringing misfit toys to an island in the middle of nowhere help them? At all? I mean, it's clear that the toys hate being stuck on the island. Sure, it beats the alternative (landfill, garbage dump, incinerator) but they still aren't happy. Moonracer hasn't done anything to help them find children who would play with them, yet he clearly states that only a child can make them happy. Well, why doesn't he just fly over and talk to Santa? Why does Rudolph and the gang have to relay the message? Moonracer flies over the whole Earth every night! Why can't he just stop at Santa's place! What is wrong with this guy? Moonracer, you can’t be this stupid! You just can't! You are the reason why this movie can't work! What are you, a moron!?

3.      His job. Just his job. Why is such a majestic, winged lion spending his time collecting defective toys? It's not like he's selling them like error stamps or anything. And it gets worse when you think about. If these toys are unwanted, then that means they were probably lying on the side of the road, in a dark alley, or inside a dumpster or garbage can. Now, imagine King Moonracer, in all his glory, coming down, and jumping into a dumpster. . .

            NO! It makes no sense! I'm sorry, but this movie just doesn't add up! “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” made more sense than this, and they just made stuff up out of thin air in that movie! This movie. . .I mean my gosh! It's just so, illogical and stupid!

            The Doll

            Okay, you're probably wondering what could possibly be wrong with this character. Well, that's the problem! There's nothing wrong with her! She's on the Island of Misfit Toys, but why is she a misfit? There is nothing wrong with her! She can eve say “how do you do!” Pretty good for a time when dolls didn't have computer chips in them! What makes her a misfit? She looks fine. Look, you could've done a lot of things to her, like, give her an eye that's always shut, or giant feet, or green hair. At least give us something to pity her for, cause I don't she anything!

            Clarice

            She was a sweet character, sure, but she didn't really serve much of a purpose. She tried to comfort Rudolph and sung a song for him, but then her father took her away, Rudolph got depressed again, and then Hermie showed up. You could've taken her scene and song out and skipped right to Hermie, and the story would not have changed at all.

            Well, she does get him to fly when she calls him cute, but it wasn't vital for him to show his ability before getting his false nose knocked off.

            And you know what, Hermie actually does a better job in cheering Rudolph up than Clarice does. The friend does a better job making the main character feel happy than the love interest does! You know what, that's all Clarice was; The Token Love Interest. And she's not even a very good one at that! All she does is call him cute, sing a song, get kidnapped, and kiss him. She's worse than Princess Peach! But don't get me wrong, love interest aren't always pathetic. Like Rose in Brian Jacques' Martin the Warrior. She actually helped Martin escape the villain's fortress. Also, her singing talent actually was useful in the heroes' quest. Also, in the Legend of Spyro trilogy, even though Spyro had to save Cynder twice, she still actually did something. She had dragon powers and expert fighting skills.             Clarice is just. . .there. She completely pointless to the plot. But wait, there's more! Just when you think she can't get any more pathetic, guess what she says after the Abominable Snow Monster knocks out Rudolph and is getting ready to eat them all:

            “Oh, why doesn't he get it over with!?”

            Oh, you gotta be kidding me! You're just gonna give up and die! Oh my gosh, this is like if Pikachu just walked up to Team Rocket's helicopter, jumped in, made his bed in a cage, and went to sleep. Clarice didn't have to be in this story. Rudolph never needed a love interest. The Monster kidnapped his parents, isn't that enough? Clarice is useless!

 

            Okay, well I've torn apart most of the characters atom by atom. Now it's time for me to do the same to the story as a whole.

            Story

            Okay, so the movie begins with scenes of a terrible blizzard. We then see newspapers with headlines raving about how terrible the snowstorm is. The final headline we see reads, “Snowstorm my postpone Christmas.”

            Oh my gosh, Atheists made this move.

            Christmas is a birthday! How do you postpone a birthday? What, if it snows hard enough it can create a time warp that changes the day a person was born on? No! Of course not! The only thing postponed here are Christmas presents! Materialism!

            Oh gosh, this is not good. Not even 5 minutes in and I'm already upset!

            Okay, so after that, we meet the narrator, because all Rankin/Bass Christmas movies have narrators. The narrator of this story is Sam the Snowman, voice by the great singer Rankin Bass. His voice is just perfect for singing Christmas songs. If he were still alive, I'd send him a sympathy card for having to be in this movie.

            After the credits and music montage, we have the scene with Rudolph's birth. We also get our first song from Santa. Apparently, they expect all of us to have seen “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” because if you haven't, you would have no idea why Santa is calling himself Kris Kringle. After his song, we get a strange scene. Donner puts mud on Rudolph's nose to hide it, but then the mother. . .eats the mud? Sure, there's a really obvious kissing sound as she does this, but how would a kiss cause all that mud to come off? Donner put a lot of mud on that nose. And what's more, she goes in for more with her tongue.

            Okay, then we get to see Hermie's first scene. First of all, we get that he's the misfit, but did you have to give him human ears? He's still an elf! Give him elf ears for goodness sake! He doesn't have to look different. Let his actions speak for themselves! And another thing, why a dentist of all things? It makes no sense. I mean, what joker thought this stuff up? Or did they just put names of random jobs in a hat and just pull one out? Sure, Hermie beat the monster by pulling out all his teeth, but we don't know that at the time, so it seems so random to us. I mean, what if they pulled “brain surgeon” out of the hat?

“And then, after Yukon drops a boulder on the monster's head, Hermie performs brain surgery on the snow monster to make him docile.” GENIUS! This is a work of genius! Ha-ha! After this, I'll write the scripts for Adventure Time and Regular Show!

            Speaking of the monster, we learn that the Abominable Snow Monster hates everything to do with Christmas. Uh, why? Aren't you gonna go into any detail about that? No?  Oh come on! You have to tell us why he hates Christmas, or he's not a very convincing villain. It's not even true, by the way! At the end, he gets a job putting up Christmas decorations!

            Okay, so after we have Donner training Rudolph, and Rudolph and Hermie being forced into doing things they wouldn't if they had their own free will- I'm sorry, but I cant get over how so “under the thumb” they are! Oh my gosh, I just realized what this is. . .this is a Twilight Zone Communist State! There are no salaries for work because everyone just shares everything in Communist fashion, as long as they conform like machines to everyone else.

            Alright, so now we get to hear Rudolph speak, and boy is it annoying! I know he's wearing the false nose, and that makes him talk kinda funny. Clarice even lampshades it, don't ask me how Fireball doesn't notice it. But you have to realize something. Just because something is supposed to annoy us does not mean we're supposed to enjoy being annoyed! We don't like being annoyed! We don't like it!

            Okay, so we have the scene with Fireball, the elf song, and then Clarice. Then the false nose comes off, and guess what? His voice is still annoying! It sounds like he's got a constant cold. He has a shinny nose, not a stuffy nose! Well, after the adults chase him away, Rudolph moans about being different than everyone else to Clarice. Oh, you mean like Fireball? The one with a tuft of red hair on his head? But I digress. Anyway, then we get Clarice's song, “There's Always Tomorrow,” which is absolutely no help! How does this song help Rudolph at all? So what if there's always tomorrow? You can't just sit back and hope for tomorrow. Nothing changes that way! You have to actually do something!

            Well, after that pointless song, Clarice's father comes along and says he doesn't want her daughter around a red nosed reindeer. You didn't even know what a red nosed reindeer looked like five seconds ago! And how about red headed reindeer? What do you think of them huh? But, I digress! Well, after they leave, we get to see Hermie and Rudolph become friends, and guess what? They actually decide to do something! Now depending on the version you're watching, you may either get the song “Fame and Fortune” or the song “We're a Couple of Misfits.” I like “Fame and Fortune” better, because why would you want to sing about how you're a social outcast and hated by the world. Also, in “We're a Couple of Misfits,” Hermie makes as snowman that looks like his elf boss and punches it in the face! Wow, that's kinda violent. Sure, Rudolph gets clubbed in the head by the monster, but that's done off screne so we don't see any physical violence. This quick punch in the face by Hermie is much more disturbing. Anyway, “Fame and Fortune” is much more hopeful and happy.

            So, we soon meet Yukon Cornelius, and then Sam Snowman sings “Silver and Gold” for us. This has got to be one of the only high points of the movie. You just can't beat the balladeer-like singing voice of Burl Ives.

            After a monster chase scene where we learn that giant monsters sink in water (wow, no kidding), we get the famous “Peanut Butter/Pea Soup” gag between Hermie and Yukon. I am deadly serious when I say that this is the only time during the whole entire movie that I laughed! This was the only enjoyable part in the entire movie, and that is just sad.

            So now, we arrive on the Island of Misfit Toys. The song is okay, I guess, even though the doll never explains why she is a misfit! Then our heroes meet King Dumpster Diver, who asks them to tell Santa to find homes for all the toys on the island. Of course they agree, and they spend the night. Not wanting to attract the snow monster to his friends with his nose, Rudolph goes off on his own on an ice patch. Okay, first of all, how does he steer the thing? What if it just floated off into the ocean? Well, yeah, that would help the movie to end faster, but still. And secondly, Rudolph can fly!

            Okay, so we have a montage of Rudolph growing up, nice pair of antlers by the way, and he gets why I feel is a much better voice. No longer nasally, yet still young, youthful, and innocent. After returning and finding his loved ones gone, he goes to save them from the monster. Wait. . . how did he know they were there? They might have been on the Island of Misfit Toys for all he knew? Well, Rudolph finds out one way or another, and rushes in to the rescue. Of course, he falls and gets clubbed in the head by an icicle. It must have been pretty bad if we couldn't see it. Even the narrator couldn't bear to see it! But you know, it should have been much worse. Ice is pretty hard. Hard enough to break bones, I'd say!

            Well, anyway, Sam points Yukon and Hermie in the right direction. Yukon knocks the monster out, Hermie removes the monster's teeth, and Yukon and his dogs go over the side of a cliff while hanging onto the monster. But we later learn that the monster was bouncy enough to break their fall, but Hermie and Rudolph both look down into the ravine. Why didn't they see that they bounced? We got to see down the ravine when they fell, you can see the bottom. Did they all go unconscious when they hit the bottom at first? They did not execute this right. They actually spoofed this scene in Chill Out Scooby Doo. When the hunter in that movie fell off the cliff, it was a snowy blur below him. We couldn't see him hit the ground, so we could assume he died. They shoul've made it blizzard like when Yukon fell, it would've made more sense. Maybe I'm belly aching, but this could've been done much better.

            We then have the scene where everyone is ashamed and admits they were wrong, even mean old Santa Jerk. After more elf singing, which Santa Jerk still doesn't like, the weather report comes in. Santa then announces that because of the snow, Christmas must be canceled.

            Alright! Atheists took over this movie! You cannot cancel Jesus' birthday! You can't cancel anyone's birthday! You could kill the person, but they were still born at some point, and thus, still have a birthday! He should've have said, “We must cancel the Christmas Eve ride,” or something. Cause you know what would happen if Santa didn't deliver presents? It would be just like the real world! You are not in charge of Christmas, Santa Claus! It does not depend on you! It's Christ-mas, not Claus-mas or Santa-mas! So sit down, eat something, and shut up!

            So, Rudolph uses his shinny nose to light the way through the storm and is declared a hero. Burl Ives sings “Holy Jolly Christmas” as they celebrating. This is the best songs in the movie, hands down. It's fun, it's happy, it's upbeat, Burl Ives is singing it, it's just great.

            So they go and pick up the misfit toys. But wait a minute, who in their right mind would want a train with square wheels? Shouldn't Santa fix them first before giving them out? If they aren't changed, then they'll still be misfits and wind up unwanted and back on the island all over again. Then again, it's not too much to suggest that some kid may want a polka dotted elephant or a charlie in the box or a cowboy who rides an ostrich, but who in their right mind would want a train with square wheels or a boat that always sinks? Epic fail, Santa, epic fail!

            Okay, so we end the movie with Burl Ives singing the titular song. I gotta admit, the movie version is much better than the radio version. It's much faster and more upbeat. It has a little bit more heart and spirit than the radio version, which is all slow and dragged out.

            So what's my final opinion on this particular movie? Well, let's review: We got a reindeer with a red glowing nose, a skinny Santa Claus who's a cruel jerk, a reindeer with a tuft of red hair on his head, a reindeer with droopy rubber antlers, an elf that has human ears and wants to be a dentist, and a flying lion who lives in the north Pole and spends every night of his existence dumpster diving for defective toys. . .

            This is crazy! In every sense of the word! Nothing about this movie makes sense! It is pure nonsense! The original book and song this movie was based on weren't bad because they just stopped at the red nosed reindeer, but this movie. . .this movie. . .I mean my gosh! Who wrote this? An insane asylum? I mean, it's incredible, it's absolutely incredible! Nearly every other scene of this movie is like a kick in the stomach! The characters behave arbitrarily; most of the characters are pointlessly cruel; there is a strong lack of any honor, dignity, or morality in these characters; and it's not funny! There was only one good joke throughout the entire movie! Just one! The rest of this movie is cruel, cruel, cruel! It's beyond depressing. This move can give you depression! And if it doesn't depress you, it enrages you to the point that you wanna jump in the TV and go on a rampage till everyone is begging for forgiveness. I don't care if it all gets resolved at the end, I don't enjoy watching someone getting bullied by peers, adults, and parents at the same time! This is one of the worst Christmas movies I have ever had to sit through! Is this even a Christmas movie at all? I hated it!

            Now, I probably could stop right here. . .but I won't. You see, all of the other Rudolph movies after this were really, really good! Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas and July was EPIC! So, I might talk about the sequels later on. Until then, all of you have a merry Christmas. God bless.

Why Leon- Error of The Savannah Is Good and Why You Should Give It a Try

Why Leon- Error of The Savannah Is Good and Why You Should Give It a Try

Hi! I'm Matthais the Critic! I review stuff because I want to!

In my previous post, I started talking about a series of 3 minute episodes by Teletoon+ and Studio Hari called Leon- Error of The Savannah. As far as I know, it's been playing on Discovery Kids for quite a while, and it's all over YouTube. I absolutely went on a rant about how good it was. You're probably thinking, how can a series of shows only 3 minutes long be any good? Well, everyone likes the original Looney Tunes, right? They play them for an hour on Cartoon Network, don't they? Well, this show is like Looney Tunes for the people of today. There' something different about it that's very nostalgic and yet gives a brand new feeling to it. 

First of all, let me go on about the amazing CGI again. I mean, look at it! In HD, it's phenomenal! You can almost reach in and touch them! (I know, that expression has been used a hundred times by everyone for everything, but it still works). I can't get over how cool that opening is. Just seeing him run with all the other characters watching is cool. The CGI also helps bring to life all the action in the show. The entire world has so much depth in detail that is unprecedented in any non feature length film cartoon. Take Kung Fu Panda Legends of Awesomeness or Dreamworks Dragons Riders of Berk and compare it to Leon. I'm sorry, but I believe Leon has better animation, but that may be just because the episodes are really short so they can afford to go all out.

Also, I have to admit the music is pretty good. The intro music great. The drums combined with the twanging string instrument set up the mood of the show: an exciting three minutes that will be funny but full of surprises and also fast paced.

So, let me do my best to analyze this show for you.

So, the show stars Leon, a lion with extremely bad luck. However, he makes up for that in endurance and immortality, seeing as he either falls of a cliff or is crushed by a boulder or both once per episode! His best friend appears to be a red Sparrow. What does Sparrow do? Act as his hair clip. You see, Leon has an interesting mane which features a cowlick that covers his eye. We even see this at the end of the intro, where Sparrow pulls up his hair so we can see him eye to eye. This is probably the moment when you realize that this lion isn't as awesome and insuperable as the bodacious intro makes him out to be.

So when the show begins, we see Leon napping on a rock under a tree, which is effectively his house. That's what I like about this show, in just a couple of 3 minute episodes, this whole world of a Savannah is built for us. After watching a couple of episodes, you get a sense of where everything is. You got Leon's sleeping rock and shady tree, the nearby cliffs, a rectangular shaped rock formation that kinda looks like a soccer goal (and is actually used as one!), a human camp complete with food supplies, tents, and a campfire (we are to assume the humans abandoned it I suppose), a magical spring marked by a shrine of three masks, and the local watering hole. The locations never truly change, and they are all always being revisited. It really sets up the setting of this world and adds some depth to the story. You can't help but wonder what area Leon will visit next.

And another thing, the fact that every episode begins with Leon napping is not a bad thing. First, it gives us an idea of the show's formula. Step 1 is that Leon is napping. Step 2 is that something gets his attention. This is usually an annoying animal or the smell of prey. This is genius! Most animals in cartoons don't act like an animal would. Sure, a real lion wouldn't do many of the things Leon does, but the thing is, is that Leon has the mindset and personality of a real lion. Unlike Wile E. Coyote, who is a super genius who mail orders crazy gadgets from Acme, Leon actually behaves like a wild lion. He sleeps during the day, and only moves about when he is disturbed or when prey is nearby. He doesn't have to act like a human, a lion can be more than interesting enough. But that doesn't mean he has to be just an average lion. Leon is imaginative. If his attempts aren't working, or if something strange is going on, he has no problem trying to adapt or use more inventive measures. He doesn't have to build an Acme contraption to get us laughs. The way he reacts to the other animals and his environment is funny enough. In fact, the hilarious things the characters do make it unnecessary for Leon to do anything over the top. All he needs to do is interact with what's around him in an attempt to achieve his goal, which is usually getting a square meal.

Now that we know Leon, what about his prey? Well, Leon's main quarry happens to be The Springbok, a type of antelope that's good at jumping. And what I love about this show is that they actually use this fact very well. The Springbok is able to escape Leon every time by jumping. And no, the animators are not exaggerating those jumps! Springbok antelope actually can jump 13 feet into the air! Wow, Leon does have his work cut out for him. And, of course, being a cartoon, it's the same Springbok every time, adding the excitement of a never ending rivalry to the mix. So, I suppose you could consider The Springbok to be the "Road Runner" of this show, but I wouldn't. You see, the Road Runner is cocky and really annoying. You want the Coyote to catch him. However, The Springbok actually has to make an effort to escape Leon and has many of close calls. Therefore, you don't hate the Springbok and end up wanting him to escape Leon so you can get a couple of laughs as he slips right out from between Leon's paws. And then, when Leon's attempts backfire and extreme slapstick ensues, you feel good laughing, knowing that Leon's okay and will be back next time for another round of "Catch the Springbok." With the Coyote, you constantly feel bad for him while wanting to smack him for being so intelligently stupid, while at the same time wanting to just shoot the Road Runner. With Leon, you can laugh at him without feeling bad while admiring the smooth moves of the Springbok, and after the show, you can't wait for the next episode!

Leon will occasionally go after other prey once in a while. He'd never pass up a juicy egg, no matter what kind, but they always hatch on him. But his second favorite prey, right underneath the Springbok, is the Zebra. And what I love about the Leon vs Zebra episode, entitled "High Pitcher," is that they do something very original and unexpected. Rather than just have Leon fail at catching him, it turns out that the Zebra's high pitched whinny is torture to Leon's ears. See? They actually give Leon new challenges in every episode!

Another good thing about this show is that there are A LOT of other good characters who aren't just prey. For example, they actually give Leon rivals. That is a master stroke of genius! Leon's main rival is The Hyena, and this girl is pretty much Leon's equal. These two are always either competing for food or fighting over something. And when Leon gets his share of abuses, she's the first to burst out laughing. However, it turns out that the Hyena is just as much as an "error" as Leon! Therefore, by the end of the episode, these two have both been dived-bombed, beaten, crushed, smashed, trampled, or brushed. Expect them both to have fallen off a cliff at least once by the end of the episode. A lesser rival is The Cheetah, who clearly doesn't have the endurance that Leon has, so Leon is still the toughest cat on the Savannah despite his failures. Then there's the Chimpanzee, who is on a mission to annoy Leon until he pulls his own mane out. Being a clever Chimpanzee, Leon can never outsmart this little guy, and always ends up the looser. There's even a Crocodile who absolutely will not let Leon ever take a drink of water from his watering hole.

But wait, rivals aren't the only characters here! There's the Senegal Parrot, who proves the show has continuity by torturing Leon's sensitive ears like the Zebra; The Gorilla, who's kind of like the big brother/mentor to Leon; the Warthog, who is the only one who actually is afraid of Leon; the Buffalo, who is always ready to ram anyone 50 feet into the air if they dare to disturb his naps; and the Hippopotamus, who seems to have a strange attraction to Leon. Seeing Leon being chased and nearly crushed by that huge Hippopotamus is absolutely hilarious.

In addition, Leon actually has a love interest! To tell you the truth, episodes with the Single Lioness are the weakest ones of the show, seeing as there is practically no slapstick in them at all. In fact, these are the only episodes where you actually feel bad for Leon. In one episode, he apparently is trying to impress her by taming animals. She just smiles and walks away, leaving Leon to be sat on by an elephant. It also has scene where his pet lizard eats her pet lizard, which really isn't that funny. And the worst episode of the series has to be the one where The Gorilla tries to get Leon to behave in a manner that will get him the girl. He even styles his hair (The Sparrow has a day off!). It actually works on her, but then the episode falls apart due to miscommunication, making that episode fairly pointless. But even still, it had funny parts. The part where we get a montage of Leon's mane styles was quite humorous.

In fact, the show even has a very funny and surreal running gag that as Leon's doing his thing, he'll occasionally spot a bunch of black and white birds taking advantage of cartoon logic and cartoon physics. Sometimes they'll be dueling with light-sabers, other times they'll be hitting Blocks right out of Super Mario Bros., they even once came out of a giant bird shaped plane once! These birds are mind blowing! The three things I mentioned are tame compared to some of the things they do, and it turns out that Leon is the only one to ever see them. And what's more, he never responds with more than just a curious look or a "whatever" look. Is he hallucinating? Are they just in his head? Nevertheless, they're just for laughs.

Now, one more thing about this show is that rather than give Leon an unnatural attribute, like Wile E. Coyote's genius brain, or a tragic flaw, like Wile E. Coyote's dependence on Acme to supply him with insane gadgets that never work, the show keeps Leon real: an intelligent lion doing what lions do. That doesn't mean the show has to be kept boring. The show goes into the surreal many times. It's got aliens, that magical spring I mention earlier, winds strong enough lift boulders, even a magical magnetic meteroite. For example, in "Electroshock," when a lighting strike gives him lightning powers, Leon doesn't mail order or build an evil robot. He simply sticks his head in a log and uses it to aim his lightning bolts at the Springbok. When the surreal happens, Leon goes with it, but doesn't over do it like the Coyote. And what's more, it actually works better for him. The Springbok actually has to make an effort to dodge Leon's lighting attacks. Sure, Leon ends up failing, but he actually had a good plan going on.

Basically, what makes this show so charming is that it's about an average character living in a world where strange things will occasionally happen. If something weird happens, he goes with it. He's imaginative, he'll try new things if he thinks it can help him. For instance, The Lizard of the Savannah can hypnotize his locust prey with a dance. So, Leon tries it. When it doesn't work, he forces the Lizard of the Savannah to do it for him. This ends badly for Leon, of course, but at least you can follow his logical street smart thought process.

My favorite episode of this series shows how they don't even have to go overboard with craziness. Just add something new in Leon's world, and fun and adventure is sure to occur as he adapts to it. In "As Seen On TV," Leon and the Hyena enter the human camp and find a TV. That's funny by itself. Who brings a TV on an African safari? How is it even working? Anyway, after a few "Animals Cannot Comprehend TV" jokes, and a shout out to Lady and the Tramp, a nature special comes on showing a lion and a hyena working together to successfully take down a springbok, something these two could never do by themselves. Could a hyena and a lion hunt together? I didn't think they could.  Anyway, I like how they actually tell the real Springbok to keep quiet so they can concentrate on the show. So, after seeing the power of team work, the two rivals actually decide to work together to catch the Springbok. WOW! Character development! In a series of 3 minute shows! That is mind-boggling! I won't spoil the ending for you, go ahead and watch it.

Well, there are two things I wanna mention last. First, I think it's clever that Leon's best friend the Sparrow always knows when to fly away so he doesn't get mixed up in Leon's daily dosage of pain. Leon should use him as a danger detector as well as a hair clip. Second, during the credits, we actually get an explanation to why Leon doesn't starve to death. With most cartoon characters who are never able to catch their food, it is never revealed what they eat. However, in the credits, we see Leon chewing on what looks like fruit of some kind. He's living off of fruit? Well, okay, better than nothing. And at least he can tell that mouse who's boss.

So, that's it. That's my opinion on this show. I'd suggest checking out HAIAH2's YouTube Channel. It has a lot of episodes.

Top 5 Tortured Mute Immortals

Matthais the Critic- Top 5 Tortured Mute Immortals

It's me! Matthais The Critic! I review stuff because I want to! 

Alright, so, you all remember Wile Coyote from the Looney Tunes, right? The poor foolish genius wh just can't catch that Road Runner? Well, this poor guy actually started a whole genre of animated comedy! A genre I like to call, "The Tortured Mute Immortal." I call it that because the character is tortured in ways not only a cruel but also defy the laws of physics, the character can't talk, and the ways he is tortured are so insane that the only way he could've possibly survived it is that he was immortal. Sure, the first and last parts could be chalked up to cartoon physics, but still.

There are more of these than you think, so I'm gonna count down the Top 5. So, sit back and get ready to feel some major sympathy, because these are the Top 5 Tortured Mute Immortals!

NUMBER 5: The Eggo Moocher

You probably don't remember who this guy is, so let me remind you. You see, the Eggo Moocher appeared in a series of hand drawn Eggo Waffle Commercials in 2009. He was a man who was always trying to steal his daughter's Eggo Waffles.

Wow. . .what a jerk. . .

I mean, come on! Just go to the store and buy another box!

But luckily for the girl, this guy always goes to pretty weird and extreme lengths that always backfire on him.

In the first commercial, the Moocher tries using a lasso to. . .wait. . .how do you lasso a flat plate of waffles? That makes no sense!

Anyway, it ends up going out the window and catching a passing truck, which sends the Moocher out the window when the rope gets caught on his leg.

In another commercial, he tries using a vacuum to suck the waffles into his mouth, but ends up sucking the dog into his face instead.

But my favorite has to be when he uses a jack to lift the counter up so that the waffles will slide towards him. But then the girl takes the waffles away, and a series of heavy objects slide into him instead. But get this, not only do kitchen appliances come down, apparently this family keeps bowling balls and an elephant on the kitchen counter as well! Man, that's gotta hurt. . .

The Eggo Moocher. . .he kinda deserves it, don't ya think?

Girl: "'Leggo my Eggo!"

NUMBER 4: Bernard the Polar Bear

This show is REALLY popular on YouTube.

This character is the star of the computer animated show "Bernard," which is produced by the Korean company RG Animation Studios. The episodes are each three minutes long, and are pretty much all slapstick. Very violent slapstick. Seriously, I really don't think kids should be watching this.

Anyway, one thing about Bernard is that it never really has an actual focus. Bernard can be in the arctic, in the woods, on a farm, in a gym, in the city, on island, the list goes on and on. Usually Bernard is trying to get something done or is going on some kind of adventure, and, of course, he always end up getting severely injured!

You know, unless Bernard is trying to do something normal, I can't really feel sorry for him. For example, during the episode where an elevator keeps closing on him, or when a treadmill keeps malfunction on him, I can pity him. But when he's trying to climb a mountain with his bare bear claws, or when he's skydiving but forgets his parachute, I just wanna smack him! 

"BERNARD! You have eternal bad luck! You are cursed! Why are you putting yourself in dangerous situations! It is always going to end badly for you!"

I mean, doesn't he realize nothing goes his way? He doesn't have to go on adventures. He could easily just stick to a 9 to 5 job. Sure, the coffee machine would probably shoot 1000 degree coffee at him, but at least then he's trying to stay out of trouble! But these other times, he's just asking for it!

Bernard the Polar Bear. . .boy is he dumb. . .

Bernard: (Donkey noise as he falls through the air)

NUMBER 3: Scratt from the Ice Age movies

Oh my gosh, these people at Blue Sky are SICK!

I've never seen a character be tormented so much! I mean, oh my gosh, what the heck is this? What did this little saber toothed squirrel ever do to another living creature? All he wants is a acorn. Is that wrong in any way? NO! Oh, but everything seems to think it's funny to have him get kicked, stomped, crushed, stretched, and thrown off cliffs!

Sure, he almost had a girlfriend in the third movie, but noooooooo, he had to go back to chasing acorns instead! Why? I don't think it's funny. I think it's sad and annoying!

He actually dies and goes to Heaven in the second movie, but he actually gets pulled out and brought back to life by that stupid sloth!

And what has to be the worst of all is the end of the fourth movie. He slows up in Scrattlantis, where he finds more of his own kind and a fortune of acorns. . .and he sinks the entire place and somehow makes all of the squirrels disappear! That is just so. . . .arrgh! It's stupid! 

And another thing, is the acorn cursed or something? I mean, whenever he tries to bury it, something explodes or the ground opens up or lightning strikes him! Why does he go back to that? Why doesn't he stay with his girlfriend? Urrr! It makes no sense! Can't he find something else to go after? In my opinion, this little fella is just a greedy moron who doesn't know his own good.

Scratt. . .he's a greedy slob.

Scratt: (Falls of a cliff) AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

NUMBER 2: Wile E. Coyote from the Looney Tunes

You didn't think I could do this without mentioning him, did you?

As I said, this guy invented this genre. In fact, I'd say he perfected the art of falling off cliffs! Just as Team Rocket perfected Blasting Off!

When you hear that twinkling sound effect and see that sparkle in the sky, you think of Team Rocket.

When you hear that whistling sound followed by a low boom and see that circle of smoke at the bottom of a ravine or cliff, you immediately thin of Wile E. Coyote.

This guy is a riot. And what's more, you're actually rooting for him all the way! You understand that all he wants is meal or Road Runner, and you want him to catch the Road Runner so he can eat. This guy is a genius, able to come up with complicated plans which actually should work. However, the laws of physics are always defied so he can get hurt.

For instance, at one point he lowers a stick of dynamite to the Road Runner with a fishing pole. The fuse actually goes up the line, along his fur, and into the box of dynamite his tail is sticking in, and it blows him up. Another time, he pushes down a detonator for some dynamite, and the detonator explodes! Or how about this one: he paint a tunnel onto a wall so the Road Runner can run into it, and the Road Runner actually goes through the painted tunnel! The Coyote tries it, he just hits the wall, and then the Road Runner comes back out and tramples him!

This guy cannot win! But then again, some times he can be so smart that he looses his common sense. Often, when something heavy is about to crush him, he'll take out an umbrella instead of, oh, I don't know, running away? One funny scene is when he's trying to get a mass of rocks to fall out of his stuck trap by pocking it with a pole while standing right underneath it! As expected, it all falls on him. You really need some street smarts Wile E. Also, you should stay away from Acme Products, cause they clearly aren't working in your favor.

I should probably mention that he has gone after Bug Bunny a few time, BIG MISTAKE! He actually talks in those episodes, and he's apparently aware of his genius and is insanely egotistical about it. Also, there is also a similar looking character that goes after sheep. Basically the Coyote with a red nose, Ralph E. Wolf tries similar schemes to capture sheep, only to be constantly caught and beaten up by Sam the Sheep Dog.

Look you guys, if you can order all of these crazy things from Acme, why not just order food!? Where are you even getting all the money for this anyway?

In the new Looney Tunes show on Cartoon Network, they've made some new computer animated Road Runner and Coyote shorts, but they don't seem to capture the magic of the original. They're still good, but not as good as the ones in the past.

Wile E. Coyote. . .if you're so smart, why not try THINKING!?

Wile E.: (Holds up a sign that says "In Heavens name, what am I doing?" right before a pile of boulders crush him)

Now, how could I possibly top someone as classic and original as Wile. E Coyote? Well, just watch!

And the number 1 Tortured Mute Immortal is. . . .

Leon from Leon- Error of The Savannah

I - LOVE - THIS - CHARACTER!

I mean, this lion is awesome!

His show is made by Teletoon+, a Polish studio. Wow, Poland. Who knew?

Now, first off, let's start with the intro. The first thing you notice. . .the animation.

That CGI is gorgeous!!! The first thing you see is the beautiful African Savannah at sunset. There are a few clouds and the sky, and the orange sun tints the sky and land a golden orange color. You see a flock of birds flying through the air as a fast drum beat starts.

And then, enter Leon.

He darts across the screen. Moving swiftly through the golden grasses. Parts of the screen shift to reveal more characters. First we see the Springbok, who darts away to escape the predator. Other characters take notice as he speeds by. The Warthog even flees in terror. The Hyena does what she does best and laughs. We then see Leon skid to a halt alongside a cliff. As the title appears, we see a red sparrow causally move aside Leon's cowlick so we can meet him eye to eye.

Now, this sounds more like an awesome adventure of an awesome lion. Unfortunately, the opening is lying to us. The Title Card reads "Leon," but the actual title will always be "Leon- Error of The Savannah." And, being an error, he can only fail in his attempts.

However, what makes him better than Wile E. Coyote and all of these others poor suckers is that Leon actually has an image to keep up. He's a mighty lion, he's supposed to be strong and awesome. He doesn't put himself in danger or create any crazy complex plans. All he wants to do is hunt, and he does it in a straightforward manner.

Also, Leon is a character who actually has a character. He has that signature cowlick, he has the personality of an actual lion, and he even has an actual friend in the red sparrow, and perhaps even the Gorilla too. He also has a love interest in the Lioness (Love Makes You Dumb unfortunately, because he's able to get her into the palm of his paw twice, but ends up totally screwing it up, which is sad because I think she genuinely likes him). He knows when he's bitten off more than he can chew and runs when danger arrives. 

And unlike Scratt or Bernard, he actually has a legitimate reason for his actions. He's a lion, he has to hunt, end of story. And he's not obsessed with hunting. In fact, at the start of every 3 minute episode, he's sleeping on his rock, and only gets up if someone's bothering him or if prey is nearby. He's not a genius like Wile E., but he doesn't have to be a genius. In fact, he has something that Wile. E doesn't have: Street Smarts/Instincts/Gut Feeling/The Ability to Think On His Feet. Not that Leon is always just a one trick guy, he will occasionally try to put together an imaginative scheme, but nothing so crazy that there are a million and one ways it can backfire. . .there's causally only one or two ways for it to backfire.

But, at the same time, we're not constantly rooting for him to win like we do for the Coyote, and that's a good thing! We don't want to get angry when Leon messes up or feel the need to smack him. Since his prey (Springbok, Zebra, eggs, Ninja Meerkat?) are pretty much interesting and likable characters, so you want to see them again so Leon can have another go at them.

There are lots of reasons why the show as a whole is good, but I'll save that for another post. So, that's my Top 5! I hope you enjoyed it, and please check out this show! Each episode is only 3 minutes long! Surely you have time for that!

I'm Matthais The Critic! I review stuff because I want to!
