oh my god i just found an eBay listing for the Hypno Ring. the ORIGINAL Hypno Ring. WITH THE MANUAL. ive never seen a live listing before im freaking out

i want it so bad but the starting bid is $44???? my worst fears have come true: scarcity can cause price inflation, even for plastic toys. i can’t justify paying that price for such a tiny toy, even one with nostalgic and historical significance.

the chance to preserve literary history is finally here, and i have to watch it slip by over 4 agonizing days. has my dedication meant nothing to you, universe? why must you tantalize me so??

Captain Underpants Hypno Ring

Film Review | Captain Underpants - The First Epic Movie

I definitely had my reservations about the adaptation of a book series that brought me so much joy as a child, particularly because the content works so perfectly as a book (Flip-O-Rama, the Poopypants Name Generator, the literal pages of comic books you read inside the book, etc.). I’m happy to say that all these (and more) features of the books find a cozy home within the silly-to-the-max adaptation of the fourth Captain Underpants book, providing many different animation styles that keep the movie fresh as it keeps rolling.

The voice acting is pretty great; Kevin Hart and Thomas Middleditch are great as George and Harold. Ed Helms is a little underwhelming as Krupp/Underpants, and Nick Kroll does a decent cartoon-Austrian - nothing too special there. 

The writing is the real focus, and the rolling in of many parts and pieces of the books into a great First Movie. The humor leaned pretty hard on kids’ potty humor (as one might expect), but there were a decent amount of jokes that got the adults laughing too. Not great, but good enough.

This is definitely not worth the theater unless you have kids going with you; I’d say wait for streaming. I’m definitely curious to see if Dreamworks follows through with plans for sequels and I look forward to seeing if they up their own ante.

3 out of 5.

I find this ring particulary...evocative. Maybe cause it looks like it's gonna tranve ya. Or cause it seems a sushi roll, who knows
