Featured in AniMat’s crazy cartoon Cast: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022)
Four kids make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that leads them to a strange and dangerous galaxy. Jude Law in "Skeleton Crew" plus more stars from a galaxy far, far away. The holographic circus that entertains Neel’s young siblings is the same as Chewbacca’s family hour in the infamous The Star Wars holiday special (1978).
When I saw the first episode, I was so happy that it was about 40 minutes long
I think the series is great so far, but there’s one problem that really annoys me: the running time. Then came the second episode: if you count the flashback and credits, it’s not even 25 minutes. If I get 25 minutes of the series every week, I have to watch what happened last week.
It’s incredibly unsatisfying!
Once you can’t really lose yourself in the universe, you’re done. I probably won’t watch it for months and I’ll try to avoid all the spoilers so I can watch the whole thing next year. As for the actors: oh my god, they’re kids.
It’s clear they haven’t had years of acting training
Still, the main characters are likable, the music is appropriate, and the action isn’t exactly kid-friendly. After two episodes, I’m excited to see what happens next, but unfortunately I won’t find out until next year. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
