Fib, when he grows, has arms and legs...

Audrey Rumor Weed has arms via leaves and such...

Bad Apple/Temptation has a mechanical suit with spider limbs

Greta Von Gruesome has robotic arms and legs

The Alchemist has robotic arms...

LIKE 80% OF THE VILLAINS HAVE LIMBS

I DON’T KNOW IF THERE’S A SIGNIFICANCE TO THIS BUT IT JUST DAWNED ON ME AND I’M KIND OF BOTHERED BY THIS FOR SOME REASON

Frosty Ruins Larryboy The Cartoon Adventures

Like a lot of people I grew up watching Veggietales. There was just something about the cartoons that went beyond just some cheesy Christian cartoons about talking vegetables. There are times I've been drinking with non Christians and after a sufficient buzz found out they knew all the lyrics to the cheeseburger song by heart. So when I found out this cartoon existed I was cautiously optimistic.

The cartoon format doesn't work as well as the animation from Veggietales. One of the things I loved about veggietales was the early cgi animation style. The animation they went with for this show looks pretty cheap and so it looks less advanced than the outdated cg animation of the 90's. It's hard to look cheaper than 3D animation from 1993 but using flash to animate it in 2002 will do it. It doesn't seem like veggietales without that ancient cgi. Something else I noticed early on is that the animation difference allowed them to do more visually... and it resulted in more hackey slaptick humour. The humour is less in the writing and more in the visuals which makes it seem less like Veggietales and less comedic.

They rely on simple visual gags like saying "when pigs fly" only to show flying pigs a second later.

The theme song was also pretty lackluster and amateurish which is kind of inexcusable for a franchise associated with so much catchy music. It seems like something they just slapped together as a backup in case they had to rush the episodes out before they had a chance to have the real version professionally recorded. The lyrics are simple, the composition seems off and the vocals are not good. It's neither catchy nor funny.

The only thing that makes this feel like its true to form is the voice actors being the same but there were only four character voices that came over from veggietales and they were the only good ones.

The series introduces a lot of characters that were not in Veggietales to my knowledge and a lot of them seem out of place, less interesting and with more generic voices. The characters of Veggietales were just vegetables who played various roles, Larry is just a goofy cucumber the character relies on the writing and the voice acting to be good, the characters introduced here rely on typecast gimmicks like Bok Choy being an old asian kung fu master. It just seems like something from a different kind of show, It doesn't feel like the Larryboy stories from Veggietales.

The part of the show that does work and does stay consistent is that the morals and the messaging is still there to a degree. The morals are perfect for kids, they're not overly complex they stay on point and don't require subscribing to or understanding a larger moral value system to grasp that it's beneficial to let go of anger or to not put down others to feel good about yourself. That being said…from a faith based perspective it seems very watered down, this may as well be a safe secular cartoon. There's no progressive politics which is nice but there's also no mention of God or the Bible. A far cry from the messages of standing up for what you believe in because God is on your side…to teamwork is good. The studio went bankrupt cutting the series short so this was likely an attempt to appeal to a wider audience.

Some of the stories were silly in a way that wasn't really funny or interesting. Like a villain who kidnaps yodellers because they want to hoard all the yodelling to themselves…there had to be a better or funnier way to have a message about selfishness than that.

Also there was definitely a salad tossing joke, that seemed innocent enough…but come on there wasn't one person involved in making this show who could have pointed out the double meaning to anyone?

It wasn't a terrible show, it wasn't cancerous and it didn't ruin my enjoyment of Veggietales at all…but It wasn't great and I don't think I'll ever watch this show again. I can see some kids enjoying it and the show being nostalgic for some.

Toon Time Theater Brings You U-PICK Poll No.7!

Salutations, anime fans. This is Gabriel Ramos, DJ and live-streamer of Toon Time Theater. I heard that the upcoming UZUMAKI will have Saturday premieres on Toonami, but I have a poll up my sleeve. I am concerned about what to live-stream on Saturday mornings. You have these outcomes to vote for, and the top result determines tomorrow's lineups, also affecting the weekends following it.

Saturday morning UZUMAKI (lag)

Sunday morning UZUMAKI (no lag)

EDEN

THE KING OF FIGHTERS: ANOTHER DAY

.hack//Liminality (may pre-empt a program)

CASTLEVANIA (Season 1)

Pokémon Origins

LARRYBOY: The Cartoon Adventures (E/I)

You have until September 27 at 2 PM PDT to make your choices. When the time comes, I will end the T3 Express peepshow and review the poll results and reveal the lineups before I live-stream SAILOR MOON.

If most of you vote for Sunday morning UZUMAKI, then I will end T3 Express after the poll and move most of its programming to the Saturday Morning Animation Cram Session (More One Night for Japanese late-night viewers). Not only that, I will introduce T3 Essentials, the Sunday morning replacement for T3 Express that focuses on cartoons which I deem "essential" to my weekend cartoon block live-streams. Most of the programs will be carried over from the previous SMACS (M1N) lineups, giving (American and Canadian) Sunday morning viewers a short-but-satisfying lineup just in case they miss out on the Saturday morning lineup.

Anime fans, if this is your first time seeing this post, this is because I run a series of weekend anime blocks on the New Gabe Order Twitch channel, Toon Time Theater. My purpose of Toon Time Theater is to showcase the latest and greatest of action-packed animation on Saturday mornings at a time where modern Saturday morning cartoon blocks on FCC-controlled over-the-air TV stations no longer exist in today's world.

The last episode of Larryboy the Cartoon Adventures aired on May 6th, 2003 (according to IMDB). The cartoons were first produced as stand alone videos, with this episode originally released on video on June 10, 2003 (according to wikipidia). Unlike the original VeggieTales and Larryboy shorts, the animated adventures used 2-D animation and was helmed by ex-Disney animator Tom Bancroft. The videos ended after only 4 videos as part of the fallout of Big Idea's bankruptcy. ("The Good, The Bad, and the Eggly!", Larryboy the Cartoon Adventures, Animation Event)
