Hamster et Gretel

The Good 1) Kevin Grant-Gomez is a great character 2) The Danny Phantom style superhero parody nature of the show 3) The banter between Kevin and Gretel and Hamster 4) The Phineas and Ferb Easter Eggs 5) The over the top villains 6) The songs (like Phineas and Ferb, there's one essentially every episode.) 7) Even though I didn't like Meli Povenmire as Gretel at the beginning, her voice for the character grew on me 8) The continuing storyline The Bad 1)I really didn't like the episode where Winifred meets Frederick (not one bit) 2) Dave Grant can be funny at times but when he's not, that's painfully the case The Ugly 1) I understand why they did it, the writers didn't want the show to live in Phineas and Ferb's shadow (the way Milo Murphy's Law did) but it's sort of disappointing that it never got a Phineas and Ferb crossover. (I know the creator has said if Phineas and Ferb's revival is a success then it's likely to get a third season which could incorporate such a crossover.) 2) The aliens who gave Hamster and Gretel their powers are honestly my least favourite characters

All in all, it's a pretty good show.

I didn't expect much (watching with my 5 year old). But I found myself laughing at some of the subtle/dry humor and my 5 year old would giggle at other parts.

I've read critiques of the animation but I found it to be easy to watch. I enjoy a "cartoon" format vs the 3d animation (Doc McStuffins, Puppy Dog Pals etc) which somehow gets dull.

My only critique is that its sometimes hard to hear or understand, which seems to be the case with a lot of new shows, but I always use subtitles anyway! Overall, it's a fun and dry show with some silly plots and fun one liners. Give it a few eps at least!!

What do you get when you cross Phineas and Ferb, Adventure Time, Milo Murphy and Kid Cosmic? You get Hamster and Gretel! The series is amazing with an all star cast and outstanding songs.

Hamster and Gretel is a show created by Dan Povenmire that by this time already has an easy-to-detect identity seal, in the same way as other animators like Matt Groening or Craig McCracken.

On this occasion Dan, he gives us a series of superheroes now more than ever that is fashionable, but manages to have his own identity. This time we have two of the most peculiar heroes being a 9 year old girl and her pet hamster.

What makes the show interesting is that it knows how to use all its elements to its advantage: the intelligent humor that has characterized Dan Povenmire's series (Phineas and Ferb, Milo Murphy Law) but now satirizing the topics and elements of the series, movies and comics.

The secondary characters are memorable and endearing, they have elements that make them stand out and not be a mere walking cliche, with a brilliant musical section and references that the most adults will understand and the little ones will enjoy even if they never saw Adam West's batman or the references to silver age comics.

I hope more episodes in the future.

It's rare these days to see a show - especially a kids show - that doesn't have some ulterior contrivance to push. This Is the rare exception to the today's programming . As a 50+ year old kid at heart who still watches cartoons, I love this show. The show is hilarious. The story line is fun. There's no lessons to be learned. No preaching. Nothing but good, clean fun that everyone can enjoy! My favorite character is Fred, Kevin and Gretel's cousin. She's cool (as in as a cucumber), laid back and nothing shocks or amazes her. All of the characters are interesting, though. Just go watch it. You'll love it. Guaranteed or your money back :)

It is amazing the mental pretzels you have to go through to be able to tell people that a show is WORTH watching around here!
