Universal really screwed the pooch on this one, because the way they did with the marketing on Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken is unacceptable! They were doing so good in the box office with The Bad Guys, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Cocaine Bear, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but DAMN! They did Ruby Gillman dirty in the box office and that's a real shame. Both DreamWorks Animated and the movie deserved better than this!

Regardless, this is a really cute and fun movie. It shows that and adorable teenage kraken named "Ruby Gillman" who lives in the human world with her kraken family and she wants to go to the prom with a human boy, until her life flips topsy-turvy when she discovers that she can go into giant full kraken form when she goes underwater and she comes across face-to-face with a mermaid girl named "Chelsea" who is a fan-favorite character and heck, even I love her. The animation is obviously good, I don't mind the character designs, in my opinion, I thought the character designs look really cute and funny and the the animation has tons of beautiful scenes and brilliant visuals and it's colorful as well. The plot of the film does remind me of both Turning Red and Luca, but Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken is it's own thing, okay? It is not a rip-off of both of these Pixar films, it is it's own thing.

Overall Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken isn't an awesome film, it's not as awesome as Puss in Boots: The Last Wish or The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but it's a really enjoyable film, and I recommend anyone to watch it and give it more money so it won't be a flop anymore and Universal needs to learn about good marketing. Seriously, go watch Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken in theaters, that film needs more love and more support and same goes to Disney/Pixar's Elemental!

I give Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken a 9.2/10.

Clone High is one of the most fan-favorite animated shows of all time and it's also one of my favorite MTV cartoons alongside with Beavis and Butt-Head, Daria, and 3-South. And I noticed it's cancelation and I acknowledge the reason because of one of the characters, Gandhi. Everyone loves Gandhi, but he was the reason why Clone High got canned.

20 years later, the show got revived by HBO Max (now called "Max" which is obviously a lame name. Like, burn in Hell, Warner Bros. Discovery and get bent, David Zaslav)

I watched the first two episodes of the Clone High reboot and I really enjoyed the heck out of it, sure it's animated in Toon Boom Harmony, but I quickly got used to it and there are some new characters who I find are quite enjoyable. Abe, Joan, Cleo, JFK, Scudworth, Mr. B, etc. They're still enjoyable and so are the new characters too. The humor is still remarkable and it also holds up.

This is undoubtedly a fun revival of the old show, still we all miss Gandhi and who knows, maybe he'll make a comeback later on in Season 4...I hope there's a Season 4.

I give Clone High (2023) a 9.8/10.

Look, I loved Adult Swim. I always praise them for a variety of shows, Smiling Friends, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Final Space, Primal, Moral Orel, Robot Chicken, Venture Bros, The Boondocks, The Shivering Truth, Tigtone, JJ Villard's Fairy Tales, Black Dynamite, Tuca & Bertie, YOLO, Home Movies, The Jellies!, Squidbillies, Metalocalypse, Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, Mike Tyson Mysteries, Lazor Wulf, Blade Runner: Black Lotus, etc.

But there are some shows that rubbed me the wrong way, some shows from AS are just absolute rubbish. Like for example, Assy McGee, Minoriteam, and the new show...ugh, Royal Crackers.

Now, to be fair, when I saw the trailer, I see that the jokes don't land, the characters are awful, and the art style is hideous to look at and frankly, I was right. This show is horrible.

I don't even give a crap about the characters, I could care less about the humor, I don't care about anything about this show, the jokes are not funny, all the characters are so terrible, you want them all dead, the animation is bland, and again, the art style is a total eye sore. The only positive is that the voice acting is solid, that's it.

Yet, I still can't believe that some of my favorite AS shows like Final Space, Tigtone, Tuca & Bertie, and Lazor Wulf are canceled and they decided to renew Royal Crappers for a second season, I really hope it doesn't get a third season because I really had enough of this show. Say what you want about HBO Max's Velma, but at least it's art style looks stunning and the animation is good, but this show sucks, I wouldn't recommend anyone to watch it. Oh and Warner Bros. Discovery can rot in the dumpster too!
