User blog:AustinDR/Review: Pets Peeved

A great way to start the week. It especially was able to keep myself from thinking about that heinous comic on deviantART (seriously, I'm surprsied that no one gets arrested for what's obviously child pornography, even if they are fictional characters). Congratulations, artist: you made me hate Lisa more than I did before. That is quite an accomplishment. Assuming that many had watched the episode already, so I'll get into what I liked. I did like how they shot the episode for one. What I mean is, whenever it's on the main pets' perspective, the camera is adjusted to their level, wherein the Loud kids' faces are obscured. To think about it, say that you were talking to a pretty small child and you get down to their eye level. This is pretty much what is done with the pets. When the new dog is introduced, however, the camera goes back to the kids' perspectives. Of course it is done to show how the kids react to the new dog. When it's the pets' turn to react, they return it to their perspective.

Considering how the pets are generally minor characters, I didn't think much about them being able to hold their own episode, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was actually really funny how they conspire with each other in an attempt to get rid of the puppy, and how they fail in each of their attempts. Additionally, it was pretty sweet to see that the kids didn't forget about them, and that they were making posters in order to find them. It reminds me of my relationship with some of my pets; I would be devastated if something were to happen to them. It reflects the real fears that pet lovers have if their beloved pet were to go missing. It's also pretty sweet how the pets eventually began to get along with the puppy even though they were envious of him from the beginning.

Overall a pretty great episode; it was creative, funny throughout, and touching. Once again, this is how to start a week. Also I had seen the trailer for "Relative Chaos." Looks pretty good. I am pumped for it, as well as Steven Universe: Wanted. Can't wait for Steven to get crucified.

Final score: 5 stars out of 5
