Featured in AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022)
Four kids make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that sends them lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Jude Law in “Skeleton Crew”; and more stars from a galaxy far, far away.. The holographic circus that entertains Neel’s young siblings is the same as Chewbacca’s family clock in the infamous The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978).
When I saw the first episode, I was so happy that it was about 40 minutes long
I think the show is great so far, but one problem really annoys me: the running time. Then came the second episode: if you include the flashbacks and the subtitles, it’s not even 25 minutes. If I get 25 minutes of a show every week, I have to watch what happened the week before.
As for the cast: oh my god, they’re kids
As soon as you can’t really lose yourself in the universe, you’ve warmed up to it, it’s already over. Incredibly unsatisfying! I probably won’t watch it for months and I’ll try to avoid all spoilers so I can watch the whole thing next year.
It’s clear they haven’t had years of acting training
That said, the main characters are likable, the music is appropriate, and the action isn’t too kid-friendly. After two episodes, I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next, but unfortunately, I won’t know until next year. “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
