I figured I should do something like this, to help me pass time and hopefully allow me to come up with ideas for my homework XD
When I was younger and first watched the series I was quite baffled. Since the only piece of 101 Dalmatians I saw beforehand was the animated movie. So when I saw the cartoon's opening I went... 'huh? Why do the characters look so different? Who's Cadpig? And why is there a chicken in it?'
I can't say much else for my younger opinion since the series did not air very often in my area, and it was usually too early in the morning to want to get up and watch.
But I've rewatched most of the episodes now thanks to youtube, so I can get a better analysis.
I do like the series after my rewatching. Nice character designs, stable environment, simple episode plots (but not too simple), etc... in general, positive things. All of the episodes in general are pretty nice and a joy to watch, except the Horace and Jasper one whose name I forget...
With this series I really had only ONE disappointment (both when I was younger and now). That one disappointment.. character usage.
What does this mean? Some of you may ask. Character usage means how much certain chars are used.
I mean I don't mind our main quadro.. group of 4; Lucky, Rolly, Cadpig, and Spot. But, I WOULD like to see some of the other characters, you know?
Though by other characters I mostly mean the puppies from the movie and official disney merchandise. Y'all know who I'm talking about. Pepper, Patch, Fidget, Jewel, etc... Heck, I would LOVE to see more episodes with Tripod, Mooch, and even VANDELLA for crying out loud. Basically, episodes which focus on different characters instead of our main four.
Because look, the series had quite a few interesting characters that had very little to no screen time and dialog. And a lot of these characters had potential.. but nope, Disney shoves the four heroes in our faces until they break our noses from being shoved too closely.
It's like what they say "sometimes there's such a thing as too much of a good thing." And that's how I feel about our main 4 animal heroes.
So yeah.. short.. cheezy opinion being share
