LACKADAISY Pilot Short Review & Thoughts: INDIE Animation Greatness.

Okay, so I've just recently gotten finished watching the latest new indie animated pilot short: Lackadaisy. Honestly, I truly and seriously loved this 27-minute long film of bootlegging kitties' adventure! Now for those who are super new to this short and overall story of the Lackadaisy world, the short takes place in 1920s America specifically in St Louis Missouri during the prohibition era when all things alcoholic were OutLaw and where most of the characters consist of anthropomorphic cat people in this story.

The title comes from the name of the café also covered as an underground speakeasy "The little Daisy Café " or for very special Partons and guests that want to get their illegal drink on known as the Lackadaisy speakeasy. All in all, the business hasn't been like it used to be for the little once glamorous speakeasy, leaving our main cat trio of trouble of the short to dig up some much-needed booze. We got the highly chaotic also artistic wild spirit, wacky, smart but slightly dimwitted sweet grinning nut Rocky Rickaby. His baby-faced sweet and super adorable well mannered but deeply repressed rage Trigger happy cousin Calvin "Freckle" McMurray ,and last but not least little miss firecracker and sweetie full of spunk Ivy Peppers.

On the revival competitor side that is Marigold. We got our Cajuns sensations siblings danger duo the Savoy: Serafine and Nicodeme, And last Mr. Tuxedo always serious catman and professional "cleaner" extraordinaire Mordecai Heller who has some past history with the Lackadaisy staff & it past owner. Now a little details on what and why I enjoyed this film.

The Animation: Lackadaisy overall animation is fantastical amazing, like UGH from the impressive shading and lighting within the backgrounds from the way the characters eyes are super luminescence in the dark and really gives that feline aspect. To the intricate little details such as the characters very realistic cat ear twitching and other behavioral cat traits like the tail movements and fizzing of the fur when scared or startle, some criticism I've seen in the Live Chat in regards to the left in sketch/guidelines within the characters is that it's distracting. But personal for me I liked the added in sketch linework, it deeply reminded me of super old school classic Disney animation or seeing old traditional animationing videos on how they did things back in the day.

The Voice acting: I swear the voice casting in this was excellent and very on point. Each of the voice actors really fit so well into each of their characters, from Michael Kovach great voice work as Rocky who you can tell was really enjoying himself, to Channel Awesome Malcolm Ray as Nico and Benni Latham as Serafine and ProZD also known as SungWon Cho very nice and fantastic voice work as Mordecai and Belsheber Rusape as Freckle and Ashe Wagner as Mitzi, Lisa Reimold as Ivy. Just overall real good sounding Voice work.

The Story: Now when it comes to overall story, I liked how it was basically more of a standalone type of storytelling in its own kind of separate reality then what's currently going on in the comic thus far into it. I can maybe see others who've been following the webcomic for far longer might dislike certain changes in the pilot that differ a bit from the comic, but I can get why they went with it this way so it probably would be easier for newcomers to jump into it. While certain parts did felt a bit underwhelming & might not be super perfect, I still enjoyed the energy and pacing of this short. I felt they did a really good job as a pilot showcasing the premise /concept and some of the characteristics of the main cast, although not all of them...but I felt it did a nice enough job of giving you a taste of these characters and making you want more of them & find out what's their story is. Either way love how the pilot plot was this mini but disastrous bootlegging adventure of Rocky, Ivy and Freckle getting into trouble barely escaping with their lives all for some nasty tasting booze.

Final Thoughts: While I might not have been following this project or webcomic since early DeviantArt or back during the mid-2000s to 2010s ( even though I wished I got into it much earlier) as long as others have. But even as a somewhat new fan of this indie piece of work and incredible artsy, I truly really come to love Lackadaisy so much and I deeply hope that this pilot short will paved the way for even more crime-fulled animated kitties adventures in the future.

Please Check Out LACKADAISY and give it all the love and support it can get because I want more Booze stealing lawbreaking Cats to see!

I've been watching the recently new anime / animated series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off and I'm really loving it a lot thus far already!

As someone who has never been super into the Scott Pilgrim movie, I've only ever seen different scenes and certain parts of it here and there on TV whenever it was on. But I could never get super fully invested in it.

But as for the animated show it's been so freaking good! I still gotta catch up on the rest of the episodes but from the few I watched it's been a fun enjoyable ride.

Definitely love the action scenes and the awesome fights including the animation also the art style from the graphic novel.

This animated version of Scott Pilgrim been really good and I can't wait to finish the rest of the episodes.

Little Carol & The End of the World Talk /Review Musing.

Been watching Carol and the End of the world recently, and honestly I truly think its one of the bests adult mature animated series out there.

I love how natural sounding and realistic the dialogue is and how each and every single character feels like a actual real person or someone you could probably relate too and resonate with on some level or another. How each character be it Carol herself or Donna or Luis feels like people you either probably know or the type of people you would just see within everyday life on the sidewalk or at a store and as shown in the series at everyday work.

The emotions and heartfelt genuine human moments of this show is so good.

Another great example of adult Western animation being actually mature in its storytelling and being so much more then your typical animated sitcom.

I've been watching Captain LasterHawk and so far into it as of episode 3 ( Still gotta catch up with the rest of the episodes). I'm really liking and enjoying this series a lot thus far. From the amazing animation to the high Chaotic energy and action scenes within it, which honestly gives me massive Studio Trigger vibes when it comes to this show in terms of the wildness of it I've seen, which just reminds me of a Studio Trigger anime or little bit of Fooly Cooley.

But anyhow, I'm also enjoying the characters within this show too. I'm not going to pretend like I know every single Ubisoft properties since I'm not a big video gamer person, the only game character I know from this show is Ray-Man and that Bullfrog is clearly a reference to Assassin creed. Really like Dolph character & seriously felt for him dealing with the entire being betrayed by your man & him fucking you over for the supposed Greater good of Edan thing with Alex. Also seriously RIP Jade & Pey'j really, especially Jade because she didn't deserve to go out like that...like I was hoping she would have been in the show far longer...including Pey'j. At least he went out trying to claim the situation down and helping people amongst the crossfire.

This is a bit of jumble of thoughts regarding the show. But so far into it I'm loving Captain LasterHawk and wouldn't mind seeing more of it, but given how Netflix is when it comes to the why they treat their animated series or their growing record of canceling shows...( Never forgiving them for what they did to Tuca & Bertie also to Dead End: Paranormal Park also Inside Job) makes me wary on whether or not LasterHawk will get more than one season.

Either way loving the wild Chaotic ride of this latest new entry of adult animated series.

Seriously thou, watching Fionna and Cake thus far into the story / episodes and how everything is going down within it. Like everything dealing with this show being really good so far into it & etc. Just reaffirms on why I love Adventure Time so freaking much and why this show is one of my most favorites in terms of Cartoon Network cartoon shows of the 2010s.

For real I can't wait to see how the rest of this series will continue to develops and connects with the rest of the worldbuilding & background of Adventure Time story, because so far into it I'm really enjoying how there doing this show so far.
