We now take you back to your regular blog, which is already in progress...
How to present this... well, it's definitely not for the kiddies, I'll say that for starters. It's also not for the squeamish or easily offended... hell, I'm recommending it, and I'm somewhat embarrased by liking it. On the other hand, if you like your "cute" animation with a healthy helping of the old ultraviolence, this is the show for you.
The basic idea in each episode is, generally, an ultra-cute forest animal-based cartoon show, that starts out normally enough, but then goes horribly wrong somewhere along the way, leading to the demise of most, if not all, of the characters involved. Oh, and this is basically a non-verbal sort of thing (the most intelligible bit I've heard to date is an "Oh yeah" out of Disco Bear), so it relies heavily on sight gags, even when it's not going all Itchy-and-Scratchy on the cast.
Intrigued? Well, of course you can snag a copy through Netflix, but, if you're just looking to see what's up right now, try this. I've seen "And the Kitchen Sink", and it's pretty okay... I'd just recommend staying away from episodes with Flippy to start with... he's the appropriately-named Green Beret bear that is too easy of a crutch to get things going with in the short, online episodes at the website. If you do pick up season 1 volume 1 though, he definitely works in "Party Animal".
