Oh Yeah! Cartoons #13: Earth to Obie

Nickelodeon 

  

   Previously,  We have to believe  that Trixie is magic [HERE]

           #13 Earth to Obie

Season 2, Episode 4b 

         Earth to Obie was created by Guy Vasilovich who has long list of directing, producing, and writing. Like directing 10 episodes of "Growing up Creeipie"  working on other "Oh Yeah! Cartoons" shorts including creating another couple we'll be getting to in the future. 

         This one is about a boy named Obie and he uses imagination a lot, this cartoon with the imagination sequences of Obie seeing the world in weird amusing ways. Obie is with his mom on one the more boring things to do , riding around the grocery store, when the mom says the shopping cart is his prison and he can't touch anything, he imagines a prison.  

  

     There's aisle 13, the cereal aisle and Obie's words (in his mind) that sound like he's Brain from "Pinky and the Brian" says he has a cereal addiction and has to do a prison escape to get the prize.  Most of the cartoon has him with 3 other prisoners doing an escape plan.  Only breaking the illusion a couple times. The ending is funny, but I don't know why. 

    It's weird fun,  the cartoon is presented with dark colors and gives it it other worldly feel. I like how it takes something small and normal, like a trip to the grocery, and makes a weird and fun adventure with a prison escape.  The voice of Mike from Mike Lou and Og , and Luna from The Loud House  , Nika Futterman  provides the normal Obie voice you won't be hearing much. The dream Obie has the prefect voice for a devious prison escaper.  (Voiced by Danny Mann) 

    The other prisoners are cereal mascots, you know , cereal escape. They have Frosty the Flake, who looks like Quisp but has a Frosted Flakes name,  Sugar Puff Daddy, doing a Puff Daddy reference, a sugar daddy reference , and a Golden Crisp reference in one throw. Koko Bird, based on the bird from Froot Loops,  and Tiger of Sugar O's who is based on Tony the Tiger which is justf funny they didn't have him be the Frosted Flakes guy.  Rabbit , is just that rabbit from Trix,  And  Bee, the same thing but with Honey Nut Cheerios. 

   I'm going to say this one is an acquired taste though, I can see why some wouldn't like, I enjoyed it , though. I could see this being picked as a series, Nickelodeon really missed the boat on making something weird around the same time "Courage the Cowardly Dog"  on Cartoon Network. There's a lot of elements that I think would have worked for a series.

      If you're curious, go on, watch it!  

   

 That's it for now, tune in next time when we break free, oh I want to break free! 

 

          

Oh Yeah! Cartoons: #12: Magic Trixie

Nickelodeon 

    Previously,  I left my heart in nostalgic days.   [HERE]

                #12 Magic Trixie 

Season 2, Episode 2b 

             Season 2 did have change over all in the series for example, the amount of new shorts kind of drifts to a show with more reoccurring. For example this episode has only this as a new short and with it being flanked by a new "Fairly Odd Parents" short and "Tales from the Goose Lady"  that will be  the trend through this season.   

   

          Magic Trixie was created by  Alex Kirwan, with direction by Rob Renzetti. This short goes with a more retro design again. The thing about 90's cartoons , since this was an era of more original content, and new networks and outlets providing them, the influences of older media would come up as inspirations for many of the time period's ideas. 

                The cartoon also goes for a muted tone where the colors are there but not as bright, giving it a look, only getting brighter when it fits the story.  Our main character doesn't seem to talk, her name is Trixie she's interested in magic. She buys a simple trick from the magic shop. There's a magician, he's flashy and has expensive stuff a contrast to Trixie.   He invites Trixie on the stage and he notices that every time she pulls something from her hat some thing comes out, when he tries it nothing comes out.  

       I get that old "Looney Tunes" vibe with Bugs and Daffy at that moment when the crowd is cheering her and not him. Then  she ends up being an assistant and is able to out do the magician. Oh and she does say words at some point.   

    The magician gets jealous and tries to trap her with some wild animals, where we get a creative sequence of her using magic and getting around his trap.  She has proven herself to have natural talent and  becomes the lead magician while the other one has become her assistant. 

    This one is fun, it's very nostalgic in how it feels like a retro 30's /40's (the 19 ones, for you future readers)  there's a simple fun to it and it's like  a mixture of a silent cartoon and talking one. The short is just plain fun. There's a lot of creativity and a nice little message added in.

   I don't see this one being a good one for a series, the whole concept feels like a complete story told in 7 minutes,  that I'm not sure where a series could go, but that might be limits in thinking about it more than anything else.   Well, check it out!   

   That's it for now, tune in next time, when we turn a goat into an Oldsmobile.
