Episode 8...
I wonder what they will do with nazca art... and wow!
The characters go inside the drawings and most of the episode in in chalck art world! I LOVE IT! It's like something Disney would do in the 50's or 60's ... Bah! It's like something from the oryginal "Caballeros" movies. They don't go to crazy but it's still very creative with character using the fact they can drawn to their advantage and they use some interesting angles and perspetives while still being part of the wall.
The cute "got to drawn the line" song will be stock in my head for some time.
Jose get's a lot of focus in this episode. There is a running theme of him being absurdly gullible that I was sure will turn out to be some sort of a moral or punchline or "Well, I learn my leason" moment... but not realy. Still, I like that he takes front sit in this one. It felt there was more of him then Donald or Panchito.
I liked April, May and June subplot. Felt like something HD&L would do in the old duck tales... And hey! That security guy voice sounds familiar. Why it's Jim Cummings! Yaaaay!
There is a scene early on with Donald doing a drawing of Dapper out of spite. Wonder is he's still around in the show...
There waren't many laugh-out moments in this one but it was very cute, visualy interesting and I like that the show goes artistic like this! Great stuff!
I've always enjoyed "draw your way into adventure/out of danger" whether in cartoons or picture books. And this episode kept the drawing interesting by constantly changing the subject matter and style and action. Loved the various flying contraptions they drew for themselves. I also was reminded of classic "artistic" cartoons, including the original Caballeros cartoons.
My favorite lines: the one about "economy of line" followed by an economic reference. Smart and funny writing there.
I'm very happy to see AM&J do some adventuring of their own. Hope there will be more of that in future episodes!
