JJ Villard's Fairy Tales

So I watched the first episode of JJ Villard's Fairy Tales on Adult Swim and it was pretty good and yet somehow very funny. The animation has some pretty improving segments which involves the way the characters walk is just like the way the characters walk in South Park and sometimes the characters move in traditional animation. Yes, there is some gross out humor, but it didn't gross me out horribly. All I'm saying is that JJ Villard is a very good and yet creative man, I honestly liked his work, I couldn't get enough of his brilliant ideas and I consider JJ Villard's Fairy Tales to be one of my favorite Adult Swim cartoons along with Final Space, Lazor Wulf, Primal, Rick and Morty and other Adult Swim cartoons that I like to watch. I recommend this show and if you don't want to watch it, that's fine by me. I give JJ Villard's Fairy Tales an 8.9/10

The concept is really good, putting a darker twist on fairy tales, but the execution is just meh. This show is so weird that I can't even fit it into my usual review format.

The art is really nice, and so is the voice acting, but I loathe the way the characters move. Unlike South Park, where it's like that on purpose, here it just seems like a way to cut corners.

There's also a lot of blood, gore, and gross-out, so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's squeamish of those things. Then again, I'm pretty sure the creator of this show also worked on the infamous gross-out show King Star King.

I think this show would work better as a direct adaptation of the fairy tales aired in a primetime slot, making them as dark as they originally were, but with better animation, more believable characters, and less gross-out.

2018 and 2019 were such good years for adult animation, we got masterpieces like Primal. Final Space, and Tuca & Bertie. What the heck happened in 2020? The Midnight Gospel, Solar Opposites, and this show all were disappointing to me. Duncanville is alright but not the best thing ever. Hopefully Crossing Swords and Central Park are good.

I recently checked out the premiere of JJ Villards Fairytales and it is a twisted fairytale animated horror show.

If you enjoy dark humor, surreal animation, horror and fairytales , be sure to check this show out.

The first episode was crazy. The story is a twisted version of the Rapunzel fairytale which has been adapted many times by such shows as Hallmarks Timeless tales fairytales for all ages animated series, the Disney film Tangled and more. If you have never read or heard of this fairytale before, this episode will introduce you to this fairytale in a very weird way by introducing you to boypunzel and his adventure in JJ's Fairytale World.

I thought the voice cast did a great job in this episode too. This show casts an ensemble of Horror and other voice actors from Doug Bradley to Robert Englund and more. I don't know who did the voices for episode 1 but they did an amazing job.

I look forward to checking out more of this show which it's dark gross twisted humor reminded me of the show Ren and Stimpy when they premiere the episodes on the Adult Swim website and see what fairytales will get the horror adaptation next.

I definitely reccomend this show to Horror fans 18 and over. Great job to the Creator and voice cast thus far!

I give it 9/10 stars.

I don't know what they were trying to accomplish here with the walking animation, it's very similar to how South Park characters walk but with South Park it works because the characters are meant to look like paper unlike here so it just looks very off. But even with the weird animation, this show will always make sure your eyes are on the screen with every episode as something crazy is always happening. Each story is rather imaginative with an interesting twist on classic fairy tales, I never really knew what to expect. It's certainly not amazingly good or one of the best works from Adult Swim and it does contain some of the stereotypical adult cartoon elements but it's a lot better than I expected.

This show is essentially a tamer creation compared to J.J.'s previous show, King Star King. I got introduced to his work through a recent interview done by animation buff RebelTaxi. I liked the first episode, it's a short and fun retelling of Repunzel with a Gory twist. The writers were essentially limited in contrast from King Star King, Limit the profanities, No religious jokes, No sexual content. And granted, they found their own creative ways around these boundaries. I'll be checking out this show as it evolves through the year!
