The Marvellous Misadventures of Flapjack, Vol. 1
Reminiscent of that zany cartoon series, SpongeBob
SquarePants and even Ren & Stimpy, the Marvelous Misadventures of
Flapjack is of a similar vein and focuses on Flapjack, a young boy who
has a pirate for a friend and was raised by Bubbie the whale. Yup.. it's
truly bizarre!
Featuring Flapjack a variety of episodes from the series,
The Marvellous Misadventures of Flapjack generally involves the gang
getting into all sorts of mischief, finding "treasure" and of course
getting in everyone's way.
The characters in the cartoon are quite relatable and
entertaining to watch and even adults will enjoy some of the content of
this series. The comedy is quite clever and whether it’s about Captain
K’Nuckles or the strange whale Bubbie, the stories are quite diverse and
colourful at the same time.
On the DVD, the video quality is oozing with colour and
although simplistic at the best of times, it suits the cartoon perfect.
The sound quality of the DVD is great but what makes it so entertaining
is the professional voice acting, especially by Brian Doyle-Murray as
Captain K’Nuckles and Roz Ryan as Bubbie who really go “overboard” with
their characters.
Although it’s probably won’t be the most memorable
cartoon in the world, The Marvellous Misadventures of Flapjack does go
out of the comfort areas of most traditional cartoon series and seeing
the Cartoon Network try something different actually works quite well on
this occasion with its goofy and oddball anecdotes of the characters
involved.
