Review of my review for this cartoon
1.0
Okay, so, I am re-reviewing this cartoon, as I think I was a little too harsh on my other review for this cartoon. I think I have gotten a little better with reviewing, improved a bit, so, I will re-review this cartoon.
Squirrel Boy is one of those cartoons that will either put you to sleep, or will bore the crap out of you, or will make you want to desperately change the channel that when you reach for the remote, the remote falls of the couch and you have to desperately grab the remote. Squirrel Boy is/was probably also one of the worst cartoons on Cartoon Network, and is the reason for Cartoon Network's downfall.
Now, the premise to this cartoon is really stupid. A boy named Andy who goes on adventures with his pet squirrel named Rodney, that's just stupid. I remember I saw the first episode, like the sandwich one and the tree one, and I thought the show was bad. I tried to like the show, like I wanted to like the show, but I couldn't because the episodes were so bland and boring. I maybe thought it was good for a while, but, nope, that was a mistake. There are just so many things bad about this cartoon.
First of all are the character designs. Let's start with Andy's design. Andy has one of the worst human designs I have seen in a cartoon. Heck, I've seen better designs in CG movies that have those wonky human designs. Andy's face looks like a bean. He probably had a normal head before it got ran over by a truck backing up. And his eyes are stuck to his glasses. Just an awful design for a human. This is also why I like anthropomorphic animal characters more than humans in a cartoon. Also, everyone has tiny little eyes, stubby arms and legs, and big heads. Its just weird.
I guess while we're at the character designs, we might as well talk about the characters. You have, said Andy, voiced by Pamela Segall, the voice of Pajama Sam, one of Humongous Entertainment's characters, and the voice of Bobby from King of the Hill. They both sound so similar! Andy is just a typical nerd who gets picked on by a bully, I think his name was Kyle or something. I think there was also a parrot, who I can't remember his name. Then, the second main character is Rodney. Rodney is a selfish jerk, and is just what this show needs; a selfish jerk. What is it with cartoons that have two main characters and one of them is a jerk? We had Foster's Home, with Mac and Bloo, and Bloo was the selfish jerk. And then we had Gym Partner's, with Adam and Jake. Jake was the selfish jerk. Here, we have Andy and Rodney, and Rodney is just super annoying, and mean. Also, he's voiced by the same guy who did Billy's voice from Billy and Mandy.
The colours are also bright. Also, characters don't have black outlining, which is actually what makes a character more appealing. But yes, the colours are just so bright, it's annoying. No painted backgrounds, just some ugly, bright drawn-looking backgrounds. No texture.
If the bright colours were annoying wasn't enough, you have the annoying music. The music sounds dumb, and babyish. It sounds like something you would hear on Nick Jr. The opening theme music is annoying with the rest of the music; it's dumb, it's repetitive (just saying "Hey Rodney!" over and over again) and stupid. I mean, come on, Camp Lazlo's opening is better. I mean, with Camp Lazlo's opening, they're making a parody of the Bingo was his name song, and actually explaining what the cartoon is about. Even the same with SpongeBob. But here with Squirrel Boy, it's just stupid.
The voices are all annoying. Andy sounds so annoying, his voice is too raspy and loud. Rodney's voice is too loud and he screams a lot. It gets annoying. Sometimes, it feels like every character's voice doesn't match them.
The plots are all dumb, like you've seen them before. Like, one episode is about Rodney climbing a tree and comes across some strange things. Just dumb. Some episodes are just about Rodney being a selfish jerk. It's just not exciting.
So really, overall, Squirrel Boy is a boring cartoon with lame characters, boring plots, bright colours and annoying voices. You're best off staying away from this cartoon, before you full asleep. I'm glad I haven't seen this cartoon in years, as it's never on anymore. Thank god.moreless
