Star Fairies - Animated Pilot Review (Part 2)

Image
Star Fairies  (Animated Special) Hello my beautiful fairies! so nice to see you in my theater again. We're back in Wishcometrue for the last time to wrap up this review of the failed animated pilot/special, Star Fairies. Last week, we witnessed a fairy princess give sentient life to five other fairies who are pretty much completely fine with their sporadic existence and are eager to grant wishes for Earth's children. However, three bumbling elves steal Princess Sparkle's wand, and they have to team up with the dullest child in the entire galaxy to retrieve it. The adventure has truly begun, and we get to see how it all plays out! The Star Fairies, along with Sparkle and Hilary, fly across the realm of Wishcometrue to see that the selfish elves have used the wand to turn Wishcometrue into their personal playground, turning trees to bowling pins and mountains to ice cream, but the most alarming thing is that they stole The Wishing Well too. Sparkle, being the tutorial guide o...

Star Fairies - Animated Pilot Review (Part 1)

It's about time I actually review something with the word "fairies" in the title. This is, like, what? My third review blog and NOW I'm reviewing something that blatantly has bluntly-stated fairies actually in it? Not magical flower sprites that vaguely resemble and act as fairies like Rose Petal Place,  but honest-to-godmother fairies. As a fairy myself, I am highly fascinated by human representation of my culture. You tend to come up with some wildly imaginative ideas full of unique worlds, interesting character designs, and interesting interpretations of fairy lore... or you litter your productions full of offensive stereotypes that border on the juvenile, misogynistic, or downright dumb. Those generic fairies you see with tiaras living in pink palaces? The ones that are just humans in traditional fairy gowns without any respect for the cultures they came from? My culture is not your costume! Not all us fairies are wealthy, and it's disgusting dollar stores wo...

The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper - Cartoon Retrospective

Image
Happy Halloween, my beautiful fairies! The only time of the year I can go out as the beautiful fairy I am, wings and all, and pester humans for free sweets without consequence. The Mayfair cartoons were fun and all, but I want to do an entire Halloween-like cartoon review! And I’m not going to beat around the bush, since it’s Halloween, that bush is probably dead and possessed by Satan. You know, fun spooks and whimsical creeps! And I know just what to do for this diabolical day! Around 2 years ago, I made a video where I reviewed a weird Halloween-tailored show from my childhood called Casper’s Scare School, a mid-2000s reboot of nobody’s favorite pleasantly preachy poltergeist, Casper the Friendly Ghost. The show was not good, to put it nicely: season 1 was passable, but season 2 was downright atrocious. You can hear me discuss it in length in this review here. I also did a lengthy discussion about Casper during a previous video review of the equally-lame direct-to-DVD pilot film o...

Mayfair Marathon - Vol. 1 (Part 2) | Multi-Cartoon Review

Welcome back, my beautiful fairies, to our review of all the cartoons showcased at the latest “The Mayfair’s The Saturday Morning All-You-Can-Eat-Cereal Cartoon Party”. We have three more cartoon episodes and two more animated shorts to get through. So why don't you get the bowls ready and let's chill out with some cool cartoons? Let's wrap this party up! “Pizza Bird Delivers!” - Samurai Pizza Cats (1990) Winner of the strangest title so far (but not the strangest premise, thanks to Turbo Teen), Samurai Pizza Cats (originally Kyattou Ninden Teyandee) was made by Tatsunoko Production and Sotsu Agency , which originally aired in Japan on TV Tokyo for a total of 54 episodes from 1990 to 1991. After the show’s original Japanese run, Saban bought the rights to translate the show, and has since dubbed the show into various languages such as English, French, Spanish, and more. The stars of the show are three cats who protect the city of Little Tokyo, which fuses feudal Japan ...
