The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart

The culmination of twenty years of quintessential character development, standard setting writing, and visual storytelling at its finest. Thank you Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick. Y'all have created a work of art that encapsulates the best and worse of humanity. From innocence & failure to the growth that comes with acceptance, The Venture bros. Is now the bar for serialized storytelling. From ingenious & palpable dialogue that captures the deep rooted insecurities and their associated overcompensation's to the mesmerizing backstories for even the most unsuspecting of background characters, The Venture Bros. Has managed to perfect storytelling as an art. Please do yourself a favor and watch this full series and tie up film. You won't regret it. Thanks again for the 20 years of eating for the next part of the story, for once it was actually worth it!

Such a criminally under the radar show, it's so niche and unusual, and lasted through my child, teenage and now full adult years. I believe it's one of the last traditionally animated shows, it's only gotten better over time and this is no exception. It picks right up where it left off, the voice acting as always is on point and it solves as many questions as it asks, leaving me hopeful it can be picked up somewhere else. One of the all time great animated shows just waiting to go viral.

If you've never seen the Venture Bros, I highly recommend you start. The earliest season is a bit rough with the animation and it hasn't found it's footing, but still hilarious and sets up storylines that are still evolving. There are always 2 venture bros, is this a universal constant? What other secrets are lurking in Jonas venture's checkered past? What's next? Hopefully something, it's a nostalgia riddled modern show filled with topical references based on a love of 60's cartoons and pop culture.

If there is one drawback, it's that it's now all over and we didn't get an entire season, just a little less than an hour and a half. However, as is the style of Venture Bros, rather than look backward and attempt to tie up every loose end in a bout of fan service, this movie takes the show in yet another direction. Rather than parade all your favorite characters back around for little more than a callback, they introduce a few interesting, key characters that drive the whole story. It's funny and rendered flawlessly -- the show has looked better and better season after season, and it culminates in beauty that is this movie's animation. The short scene with Dr. Mrs. The Monarch escaping over the Hudson on Daisy, Red Death's Mecha-Horse, is evidence enough that the creators and artists involved have mastered their form and the we are witnessing a star burning out with the end of this show. It's engrossing and avoids sentimentality in favor for the goofy, droll humor we all know and love about Venture Bros. Yet, without trying, it is sentimental, it is a sad farewell, and this may have the only post-credit scene that makes you somberly smile more than it makes you laugh. A great 20 years and a fantastic conclusion.

I hope this is the first of many Venture Bros movies. It picks right up from where the shows ended. Thank you. So glad to get some closure, lol. This was one of the best shows on TV and so underrated, so well written and the how they tied every little detail together is impressive. Anyway, this movie was great! I only wish it was a little longer after waiting all this time since they finalized the cancellation of the series. But it was worth it. Amazing voice work, as always from the cast. I just happened to be online and I think I bought it on Amazon Prime video as soon as it came out. More than happy to send some money towards the creators, hopefully it makes bank and they keep making more of these.

This movie was so great! Packed with all the action and humor I've grow accustomed to with the show over the years! I'm a little disappointed pointed it was so short and had hoped they would be given a little more time to tie up all there loose ends, but otherwise phenomenal cast and characters! I could definitely see how scenes throughout the movie were originally intended to be episodes all their own. The villain and her motives were wonderfully silly for the cap stone on the Venture bros story, and it's definitely worth the watch. Let's hope a new company opens their eyes and help give the show the ending it really deserves.
