ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Brian Sciro With the dwindling quality of CN, this show is a gleaming new hope for EVERY cartoon around! Flapjack combines morbid humor, as Billy and Mandy did, with hilarious voice acting, strange animation, and funny and compelling stories make this show incredibly well made, and funny in it's different qualities.Thurop Van Orman's voice acting is hilarious, and the other acting is funny. The voice acting is clear, and never fades out of it's talent.The animation is very crisp, and looks like an 80's cartoon, which gives the show a classy feel.The music feels as if it came straight out of a pirate movie, and makes the atmosphere feel so much more classical.Overall, the show's morbid feel and classic animation makes the show unique among the last 3 remaining good CN cartoons with new episodes still airing (Flapjack, Chowder, and TDI/TDA), and with creative director J.C. Quintel working on the new "Regular Show", you can be sure we'll see TWO cartoons like this!
Edwards For a while there, I thought that a lot of creativity was running out in daytime cartoon shows. I mean Spongebob and Camp Lazlo are great. But I miss most of my random shows of the 90's. I miss Rocko, Doug, Dexter's Lab, and most of the others. It seems that mostly shows just try to cheaply copy the anime look and feel and call it a day. But then, every once in a while, little shows like Flapjack come along and make my day bright again.Flapjack , being one of the strangest and yet most interesting of shows that Cartoon Network has seen in a while, has captured my heart. Though this show has its disturbing little moments (like Ren and Stimpy), it never fails to provide fun, enjoyment, and a good laugh to my family and friends.The show has an interesting and fresh approach to design. The backgrounds look as though they were painted with watercolors. Everything has a dingy and used look; making every element of the backdrops its own unique work of art. The show is like candy for the eyes. And speaking of candy, expect that to be a recurring element. Candy has many uses in the world of Flapjack. It is used for currency, trade, building materials, and even people (one of the main characters has a wife made out of candy). So yes, this show has a different vibe, but one I have come to love.I also have fallen in love with the characters of the show. Be it the good-hearted and spirited Flapjack, the tall-tale spinning Captain Knuckles, the motherly and ever-advising Bubbie, or the eccentric Peppermint Larry; I love these characters. Every episode provides you new insight on the cast and usually more to love.The only bad thing that I can say about the show is that sometimes it leans toward a more disgusting side of humor. It at no point crosses the line of shows like Ren and Stimpy, but it does give me an Eww Gross! moment occasionally.That aside, Flapjack is one of the best new properties that I have seen in animation in a long while. I find something special in each and every episode, and cannot wait for new ones to come out. Keep an eye on this show, and maybe it will catch you by surprise as it did me.
oh_your_god Being that I'm 19 years old, and that I've acquired an outrageously dark sense of humor, I would never think that a show targeted towards kids would ever appeal to me. But, this show is an exception. This show is nightmare fuel, pure and simple. This 'nightmare fuel' aspect is, in no way, a negative view of the show. The backgrounds' dark and dreary art style seems to compliment the characters' lighthearted antics. Oftentimes, extreme reactions in the characters faces are grossly exaggerated in a vividly horrifying, and wildly entertaining, manner. The story lines, and even the setting, are twisted and sometimes hard to follow. Again, this is not detrimental to the show's entertainment value, but instead enhances it. It is cartoons like these that keep one's imagination alive and kicking, wondering 'what else could be thought of, what else could happen?'. This show is great, purely imaginative, and conceptually beautiful.
scottsworth I originally was excited to see the show after Cartoon Network's first release of promotional advertisements which portrayed it as being actually clever and funny. However, I was rather disappointed about the results. Flapjack lacks the basic elements of a good show but rather consists of those of a bad one which include:Dark, gruesome animation. - General lack of plot and structure in which every episode ends up going nowhere at all. - Side drug references - Undesirable characters which are often shown carrying knives, swords, syringes or even getting into fights with other characters.In fact, the only reason why I rated this show a 3 out of 10 would have to be because of its animation which stands out from that of other cartoons. So don't waste your time with this show. For in my opinion, I wouldn't even watch it if it were the last thing on TV. Cartoon Network made a bad decision of choosing this show for its new lineup, and hopefully they'll come to realize that.
