Truly Dreadful Film
People are voting emotionally.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
View MoreThere is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
View MoreWhere do I even start? I love this cartoon to bits. From the top-notch animation to the awesome jokes and the BEST voice acting i've ever heard. The story is original, intriguing and well mixed with humor and action. The character designs are so good and unique and recognizable! Even the background characters are designed one by one instead of being a faceless mass. And speaking of backgrounds, this show has beautiful ones, and overall amazing color schemes. Every single character is SO good and relatable! Main characters? Villains? Secondary characters? Awesome. Every single one of them. They act and speak realistically. Tired of teenagers with the vocabulary of a linguistics major? Look no further, because in this gem right here teenagers use a made up slang that would translate into actual swears (which teens happen to say a lot) and that could slip into your talking! Seriously, just try it and you will NOT be disappointed!
View MoreI'm going to be completely honest with you. My first impression of this show was "what a weird, quirky, and stupid show."I still uphold to my initial impression, because it is weird. It's quirky. And it is wonderfully and wittingly stupid. Those qualities that first shunned me from watching the show happens to be some of the best aspects I've come to appreciate and enjoy. What I mean by wittingly stupid is that the show writers are aware of the stupidity that they've written and aren't afraid to poke fun of it within the episodes. And what seems like stupid remarks at first glance are actually well thought-out, witty lines, that it brings a certain idiotic charm to the show (yes, I use the term 'stupid' a lot, but it is very much used in an endearing way).And this show is beyond just those three qualities I have mentioned. The art is cartoony looking because...well...this IS a cartoon, but the animation flows extremely smoothly which makes ninja fights, scarf movements, and even the way the characters bob up and down from walking great eye-candy. If you really pay attention to the background art (which is a bit hard to miss), you'll get a beautiful visual with color schemes that'll make you want to hug the artists for providing such beauty for your eyes to soak in. Each episode is fast-paced but it works really well for the show's style, and every second used is never a waste.As for the actual plot line, I won't give anything away, but for a show that uses a lot of cliché (good vs. evil, high school hero, etc.), it brings something new, fresh, and unexpected every time, which is why this show never gets old for me (although I admit, I may be old for this show). And yes, I may be part of the older audience, but this show brings laughs and entertainment for both old and young. Enough simplistic jokes to make the kids smile, but more than enough witty banters to reel in the adults.There is more to this show than what I've just written, but I'll let you guys watch it to see what makes Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja such a spectacular hidden gem of Disney.
View MoreThis show is so great! The character design is amazing, the characters are engaging, the plot is interesting, and the animation is top-of-the-line. The crew didn't cut any corners.The first episode subverts expectations by letting Randy's best friend Howard in on his secret identity as the ninja, even though he was told by the Nomicon (a sentient book that both gave him his abilities and teaches him how to use them) not to tell anyone. After that, it's a show about two pals and how one of them being a superhero affects their relationship.Be warned that the main duo is a pretty realistically-written pair of 14 year old boys, which can be hard to watch at times, but adds to the charm once you can watch through it.The villains have always been my favorite characters (although to be fair, I tend to prefer evil characters anyways), especially Hannibal McFist and Viceroy. McFist is the owner of McFist Industries, one of, if not the, biggest business in town. Viceroy is his right-hand mad scientist, who builds most of the robots that try to destroy the ninja.
View MoreI personally really enjoy this show through-and-through. I love how stylized the art style is and i really really enjoy the animation! The plot has a super nice buildup but isn't entirely composed of fighting the main villain, it has a nice pacing of plot episodes, simple fun episodes, and character important episodes which i really really love. My personal favorite thing of the shows are the witty episodes titles those are absolutely the best. It is a children's show so the jokes are a bit childish but I love it, it's fun and relaxing to watch and I'd just be so sad if it ended up getting canceled. I really love this show and it means a lot to me!
