Animatoween #3: "UNDERFIST: Halloween Bash"

Ok so... this is an interesting one. This is a movie that comes from "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" which focuses on a lot of the side characters instead of Grim, Billy, or Mandy. So now we focus on this team called "Underfist" to destroy evil Halloween candy from taking over the world... Yea this is so much friggin fun. Also, this was supposed to result in a spinoff cartoon about this team. Never happened. Shame, cause it leads to a lot of really fun possibilities.

So I'm gonna start with what I don't like as theres a lot to love about it. First off, the animation is pretty different from the original Grim Adventures show. The designs are still the same (for the most part) but the team behind the animation is clearly not done by the same team. It's not the biggest deal but it just bothers me for some reason. The only real other thing I don't like is the villain. It's a chocolate bunny who wants to take over the world... uhh... deep? It's odd because the original show is well known for having very memorable villains. So to see this thing come around, you just wish he was funnier and more memorable. There's a funny joke with him in which explains why he's one of the main causes for a bunch of peoples misery (which is all hilariously ironic) but other than that he seems more like a villainous sidekick rather than a true main villain.

Aside from that, everything else is great. The new main characters are fun and all have their own story arc that's pretty well thought out. From Irwin (who is part mummy and part vampire, which is just rad), to Hoss Delgado (a monster hunter who isn't the brightest person, but absolutely awesome), and other fun characters such as Jeff the Spider, Fred Fredburger, and General Scar, all of which have great interactions with each other and have funny exchanges here and there. It's a weird combination of characters, but it all strangely works. The other thing that's great is... oddly... the action is pretty fun and even pokes fun at some action cliches, such as Hoss having a chainsaw for a leg (sort of poking fun at Ash from The Evil Dead)... like come on, that is stupid and AWESOME. And much like the other Halloween special, the designs for Halloween and the monsters are just awesome. It's not as intimidating as Jack's monsters, but it's still great to look at.
