O Fantasma e Molly McGee

This show is already Amazing. I love it's energy, characters, songs and animation so much. 10/10 can't wait for more :3.

Wow this feels so cool as i started to watch it On Disney Channel and Disney+, most of the characters are likable, funny, awesome and nice including the main characters Molly Mcgee and his ghost friend named Scratch, Libby is a good friend to Molly and the songs are catchy including the theme song too, at the end of season 1 Molly defeats the chairman by using the power of joy and releasing the ghosts from the flow of failed phantoms and Scratch sings a song called enjoy your afterlife and the whole is pretty good.

The last 3 Disney shows are incredibly good and deserves to be loved. And now it's the turn for Scratch and Molly McGee.

First things first, this show is completely stoled by Molly and her optimistic attitude, she's pure enjoy and the first impressions of her are pretty good, Scratch in his side is not as charming as Molly but he do really have good jokes and shines whenever he's with her. Animation and backgrounds look smooth and they change to the situation very well specially when something spooky is happening. The diversity on the characters despite of not being very creative, manages to make them distinguish form each other with none problems; this is well made with the voices of every member of the cast.

But this has to come, a curse must be casted; Scratch attitude even if is setted to be a very grumpy one, sometimes is impossible to keep him in the lovely path. Talking about him, he also has a very tight pronuntiation making some words a bit not easy to understand without subtitles. And final point is some characters, some fell in their own cliches and it's a bit exhausting seeing the same character kind over and over for their secondary cast, i hope they give a complete twist and give us a surprise like in other shows.

I curse you veiwers to see this show from beggining to end and see how it evolves to a posibly bigger show; now jokes of the original name aside, watch it because it's well made and i think anyone can enjoy it.

After seeing the first seven half-hour episodes (each consisting of two quarter-hour stories), I think it's safe to say this show is growing on me. When it hits, it really hits and when it misses, it doesn't miss that badly.

Here are the pros and cons I have with the show thus far:

Pros: * A lot of cartoons from the past decade (at least in America) have had the same distinct style: paper-thin outlines, rounded features, bean-shaped mouths; overall a very simplified and bland look. We all know the nickname for this particular style, but I won't use it, because we know it's not accurate. All I'm going to say is I absolutely despise that ugly, simplistic, rounded, inexpressive style. And I am so glad that "The Ghost and Molly Mc Gee" didn't go down this route. The show's animation services are provided by Mercury Filmworks, the same company that brings "Hilda", one of my favorite cartoons, to life. Like "Hilda", "The Ghost and Molly Mc Gee" has very lively and fluid animation, with fun, wacky facial expressions that make the show feel alive. Hopefully animation continues in this direction.

* The titular Molly Mc Gee is bursting with positive energy and in general is a fun, likeable protagonist who reminds me of Hilda in a way. Scratch the Ghost is the source of much of my laughter while watching this show, and Dana Snyder brings so much fun to his character.

* Positive Jewish representation. We need more of that in not just animation, but television in general.

* Most of the songs are catchy, including the main theme.

* The jokes don't always land, but when they do, boy do they land!

Cons: * When the jokes don't land, they....really don't land. My palm met my face more than a few times.

* Some of the songs aren't that great...I really wasn't fond of that Abe Lincoln rap. Then again, I don't really like rap in general.

*This is minor, but the title cards are sort of bland. Many recent cartoons either have the same title card layout for each episode with minute differences each time (like this one), or just have the episode title over the screen. It makes me miss the days when most cartoons had more variety with title cards.

Overall, I have high hopes for "The Ghost and Molly Mc Gee." At first I just thought it was sort of okay, but after seeing up to episode 7, I'm liking it more and more. This show is, in my opinion, one of the only decent cartoons currently airing (along with "Hilda"), and I hope the show stays on this path, and gets even better as time goes on.

While certainly not the darkest of humor out there it took an approach I honestly didn't expect from Disney and I enjoyed it. If you fans of shows like The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy or Invader Zim you'll probably enjoy this. And if you enjoy this, I recommend you check out The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy or Invader Zim.

At times Molly's positive attitude can be too much, to the point where if she was the only real main character shed get a bit tiresome fast - but they play her off with an edge of humor, awkwardness and fear of being alone (not having a friend) that it grounds her character and really plays off Scratch (the ghost) and the antics of those around her.

On the surface this feels like it's going to be another paint by numbers kid friendly cartoon, and it is (the kid friendly part) but there's just enough of a 'edge' to it that although I am FAR from the shows target demographic it was a lot of fun. The environments look like exaggerated Nightmare Before Christmas whenever the ghost scare someone, but it's colorful. The overly sweet pop sounding song in each episode feels like it came from Avenue Q or Book of Mormon if you listen closely- not the content of course, but an overly cute song whose cynical lyrics need to be heard.

All in all this won't be for everyone but I'd highly recommend giving this a watch.
