Purely Joyful Movie!
Ella-May O'Brien
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

i fell in love with this show on the first episode. the characters are lovable (especially Sashi) and the worlds are very well designed and entertaining. there are lots of heartwarming moments and life lessons in this show that are great to teach to your kids, a quality that is almost impossible to find in TV shows today. This is definitely a 10/10.

this has to be the best show Disney has had since gravity falls. The characters are very well developed, the story is great and the worlds are just too much fun. As a fan of sci fi i have always been a sucker for the whole "multiverse" concept and this show turns that concept into a fun children's version of something i feel like i would see in Doctor Who. Season 1 was fantastic and enjoyable. It was more goofy and childish than Season 2 is. Season 2 is much more serious and grown up. Lots of tense emotional moments that even adults would feel. This is a show for the whole family, not just kids. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys adventure, sci-fi, good humor and creativity. This show will not disappoint you.

Penn Zero is a cartoon that deserves to get noticed. since 2012 with the premier of Gravity Falls, Disney has entered a new era of cartoons that have been very good so far. sure there have been shows that are more meh like Randy Cunningham or the 7D, but there have been way more good then bad. Personally, the best shows currently on the channel include Phineas and Ferb, Gravity Falls, Wander over Yonder, Star Vs. the Forces of Evil and now Penn Zero. There are many reasons why this show is really good and a couple reasons why not everyone will like it.Let's start with the plot and structure. Basically, it is one of those cartoons where you have an ordinary team of kids saving the day. The show might seem generic at first, but it is actually very good at what it wants to be. With such a broad and easy premise that the show has, you would expect the writers of the show to just throw the characters into very generic scenarios such as space world or pirate world. Instead, the characters actually travel to pretty unique dimensions that have plenty of thought put into them. One episode has the gang travel to a world of stuffed animals and the villains are giant babies. It might sound strange, but the show knows how to handle the settings well and how the characters will adapt and fit in to the world.Then, there are the characters. At first, the main trio looks like the most generic cast of all time. you would expect Penn to be the jerk who wants everything done his way, Boone to be the fat sensitive type that always does whatever the jerk tells him, and Sashi to be the moody nobody girl that always complains about how dumb the other two are. Surprisingly, this is not the case. Penn is much more enthusiastic and definitely makes good decisions while also being pretty goofy. Boone is more of a laid back character who also looks out for his team. Sashi is the more serious one, but she seems to actually enjoy Penn and Boone's company. Then there are the villains, Rippen and Larry. These two are actually pretty hilarious with Rippen being the focused villain and Larry being the unfocused chatterbox. These two might feel generic but they have their own little quirks that really make them enjoyable.The humor and character development is very strong here. One thing you will notice with this show is that there is not much toilet humor, gross out, or unfunny puns. Usually, most of the humor comes from the dialogue and how the characters say it. Some jokes in the show would probably be not as funny if the voice actors did not put so much heart into their voices. The show also does contain a small dose of toilet humor, but it is not just shoehorned in like Sanjay and Craig. Usually, the toilet humor comes from Penn and Boone mispronouncing words or just because the characters are in a dimension that relates to toilets literally. It might seem a little meh but they barely use it and it's nowhere near as cringe worthy as Breadwinners or anything Nick. As for the character development, they actually do this very well. Usually when the trio goes to a dimension that challenges their abilities they learn weaknesses they have and they try to improve them. One episode involves Sashi not being able to complete the mission because she is too serious and cannot be seen clowning around in a clown dimension. During the episode, she learns that it's OK to be goofy sometimes and that she can does not always have to be so serious. The trio also do have complications with each other sometimes but they actually learn their mistakes and it's never anything generic either. It definitely makes the characters very likable when they look out for each other and it makes the show look a lot more well thought out by making the characters imperfect in many ways.One of the most unique things about the show is the animation. The style is definitely it's own thing and isn't trying to look like the overused adventure time style. The only show that i can say looks the most familiar of this show is Samurai Jack, but that is only because both shows don't have outlines on their characters. The character movement is very crisp and this is one of those shows that uses flash or toonboom to it's advantage. Because the textures and colors of the show are so detailed, it would be extremely hard to animate this show traditionally. This show's animation is done by Mercury Film-works which also animates Wander over Yonder and Star Vs. the Forces of Evil so you expect it to look great.Once again, Disney has managed to produce another great show for this generation. While this show might be overlooked by older viewers, I really recommend checking it out because at least we are getting a show that has a different style of humor and animation then some shows on CN or especially Nick.

The animation is fair. But the comedy is lackluster: just seems like another Johnny Test show; with the exception of the animation being far better than Johnny Test's will be. It feels like it the comedy is trying to hard to be funny, but it turns out being annoying: I had one chuckle at a small slapstick scene, but that's about it... It's not the kind of show I would want to watch; and Disney XD repeats the very few episodes they've aired so far; so that becomes very annoying hearing the same jokes about butts and incoherent screaming about things. I am definitely more excited for Star Vs. The Forces of Evil, than I was for this one. The animation on Star looks a lot more visually pleasing, and the comedy had me laughing a lot more than this show did. In the long run I would recommend Star over Penn Zero.
