     #7 Olly and Frank

From Season 1, Episode 6

   Olly and Frank  is from  Bob Doyle who has a prolific  career, he has worked on "Fairly Odd Parents" , "ChalkZone", "Danny Phantom";  he also created "Yin Yang Yo!"  and "Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!"  

       Olly is a boy smart boy who wants to impress a girl named Daisy-May and stop a bully named Bratwurst (can't imagine why he would be mean). After his science project fails, he decides a new idea is take part of his dog's brain and put inside Frankenstein like monster. Dog brain means it acts likes a dog. 

      It's like Frankenweenie but weirder. He brings the dog monster to school which wasn't the best idea.  There is some chaos and Olly gets suspended. He yells at Frank to go away, meanwhile Olly sees Bratwurst harassing Daisy and stands up for her, which kind of works. 

     

       Olly and Daisy end up in danger and Frank goes to save them. Daisy asks Olly to go the dance with her.   

    

       Olly and Frank is pretty interesting. I do like the idea of a Frankenstein's monster dog.  I do like how Daisy isn't impressed by the sausage named bully and  it's sweet how she was open to talking to Olly in the start and asks him to the dance at the end, making it much more rewarding and interesting than the boy being afraid to talk to the girl and other bog standard things you'd see.  

   Since I do this part where I think about it being a series, here's that. I'm not sure, the short wraps things up pretty well. I guess an expanded idea could be like Olly and Frank go through different adventures, maybe Daisy is a friend. (Better than resetting and having Olly go through trying to get Daisy to notice him and having the bully be reset)  I think it might have been an interesting series. but the short is alright.  

   

   It also gives me a "Dexter's Lab" vibe by the designs and maybe the strange science, like just screwing off the dogs head to get a piece of it's brain. I kind of miss that fun absurdity in cartoons. There's some fun to be had watching cartoon.

  That's it for now, tune in next time when we put a cat's brain in a robot.
