![]() There is potential in terms of interesting story arches, but the writers entirely miss the mark. I understand that this cartoon is aimed at 7-9 old kids, but why on earth is the writing so, so terrible and preschoolish? I feel like my kids are tuned into Disney Jr., which is aimed at preschool aged kiddos. In fact, on the topic of voices, every voice in this cartoon is like nails on a chalkboard. Pacman and the Ghostly Adventures centers on the daily struggle between Pac World and the lame, unfunny, annoyingly voiced ghosts from the netherworld. But this cartoon makes me cringe every time it is on. I love certain cartoons (Adventure Time, Regular Show) and I find others to be pleasant tolerances (Ninja Turtles, Mystery Incorporated, Star Wars Rebels). My kids are addicted to this cartoon and it is absolute torture for my husband and I. Let's just hope that if such a revival does come up that ties up all the loose ends from the beginning, it's not an adult audience revival like Samurai Jack, because that will really ruin what made the original kids show great and turn our hero into something really cruel and awful that even the villain would be scared to see. After 52 episodes, you wonder how the overall premise of the series is going to conclude and you want to see how Samurai Pac-Man eventually finally permanently removes Aku/Betrayus from existence. Betrayus is Aku, the hard-to-defeat villain who's very hammy. Pac-Man is the Samurai Jack of the show, the noble hero who can fight almost anything, but still has his flaws and limitations. I'm glad they found a new show after 3 seasons of MLP so they're not stuck with the same show forever and have time to voice act in another one. I can even recognize Cylindria, Pinky, Inky and Skeebo as the voices of Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Snips and Soarin because I know they are the same VAs. Like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, this is a new show in a new generation of a toy/video game franchise that's a lot more interesting than what came before it because you can assume that original fans of Pac-Man or My Little Pony that were kids in the 1980s or 1990s grew up to make this newer version with more substance and better characters. Enter to review the 10 best of all 52 of them in Admirable Animations. Like Samurai Jack, the writers of this show are smart enough to keep up the good work more than half the time and almost always have good episodes, which makes it worth while for The Mysterious Mr. Kat, but I feel that she gradually became a popular VA icon with Disney XD for both that show and this one, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures. (So far, 7.4 outta 10)Įrin Matthews hasn't really been in much before Kid vs. Your interest in the source material is irrelevant. ![]() There seems to be some creativity from this even though Pac-Man has turned into Kirby with his ravenous appetite and acquiring his powers by eating berries. I'll give the show some future watches and see where it goes from there. The jokes are hit-and-miss, nothing about the show is especially memorable, it all seems to be the standard "chosen one"/"unlikely hero" story, and in high school, no less. The animation is fun to watch, the Netherworld looks pretty cool, although I have not seen this show in stereoscopic 3D, I love the idea of the four main ghosts being double agents for the Pac-World, they kinda steal the show and that Pinky has a crush on Pac-Man (Yes, it happened in the games) and the show makes a few winks to the video game (Maze 256, ha ha ha) Although, it's too soon to tell as the show was just released. Honestly, this new adaptation to the world-famous game character is.okay. Along with the help of his friends, Spiral whom I assume is the muscle, Cylindria, whom I assume is the brains, the professor, Sir Cumference (.ugh), and the Tree of Life which is the source of their superpowers, they must protect Pac-World from the ghost take over. Pac-Man finds out he is the only one who can stop the ghosts from regaining their bodies and taking over the world (OF COURSE!) because.he's yellow. The story is that Pac-Man, a resident of Pac-World accidentally unlocks the sealed door to the Netherworld where the ghosts reside and run uppity. Don't get me wrong, it definitely is, but I find out animation writers Paul Rugg and Tom Ruegger wrote for this show, the same guys who wrote for Animaniacs. Upon seeing the trailer, I felt it would be another unlikely hero/chosen one story. Honestly, I was rather interested into seeing where this would go.
