Episode one is out and it quite impressed me. A good take on Aztec and Mayan mythologies with Zapotec deities too and a pretty nuanced and realistic take on human sacrifice. If I have one complaint is that using Mictlantecuhtli as the main villain is a bit boring.

Scooby Doo going "how do you do fellow kids" is nothing new, but it feels especially egregious here where half of the jokes are pop culture references. However Dick Dastardly is a joy to watch and pretty much the source of not only funny but memorable jokes, so it's not a compete waste.

Saw the highly anticipated Klaus. As indicated the beautiful animation did not disappoint. Went in with very low expectations for the story but was pleasantly surprised with the worldbuilding.

Twelve Forever is an expansion of the pilot of the same name, and surpasses it in having well-rounded and complex characters and an intriguing mixture of slice of life and deeper plot. It is a pretty serviceable examination of the psychology of growing up.

My main complaint is that Shane and Tristan aren't there. They were pretty fun characters in the pilot.

This show is spectacular on many fronts. The animation, though t is flash and occasionally wonky, is vivid and fluid. The writing is witty and wacky, being a true return to form with Disney duck cartoons and comics in sheer insanity and snappy jokes without relying on the irony and cynicism that plagues the Ducktales reboot. But most spectacular of all are the sheer amounts of extremely obscure Disney characters peppered in through.

This is a show made by fans for fans of Disney, and its a shame how abysmally Disney has treated it.
