Animation is where the ages meet; the same good cartoons can make kids smarter and keep grown-ups young, and, with so many platforms and networks out to gather as many pairs of eyes as possible, we are living in a. One almost-Halloween night, the children wander into Norm’s, a Mysterious Junk Store whose proprietor (Fred Tatasciore) lets them into a secret closet out of which they assemble their own costumes — a robot for Everett, a jellyfish for Lucy and a magician for Reynold, while Wren works up her own version of “interdimensional megahero” Abe Lincoln Jr. It will transpire shortly that there is sci-fi magic involved, and that they have the ability to transform into superheroic incarnations of the costumes they wear.The series starts well and gets better, growing looser and more poetic; when Reynold transforms into his ghost, for example, his shed tears turn into tiny ghosts and fly away. Nominally aimed at the elementary school crowd, it is also the work of animators pleasing themselves, pulling a phrase from Yeats here, nodding to “Peanuts” music there.The drawing, with a fine-line pen-and-ink look, is packed with detail, the writing is fresh and offbeat, with a fine sense of pop-cultural bemusement. Lines like “Humans have no appreciation for Swedish creature feature movies, not even Swedish humans” and “Since when does disgracing the Gettysburg Address plus explosions equal a movie?” may make little sense to a child, but it is the sort observation that tends to stick in the mind until, years later, it does (A favorite exchange: “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” “Not usually, no.”)The episodes build serially, in the way of live-action shows, toward a revelation. (It is a little too easy to binge-watch; you will have to wait for October for more.) With its child warriors battling a supernatural foe to which the adult world is insensible, it is a sci-fi of a classic sort — “Stranger Things” is a cousin — which even the characters know. (Adult Swim)Adult Swim is being mysterious with details, so, apart from Long Beach rapper in the title role, I can’t tell you who plays whom.

But the voice cast also includes the rapper DRAM, the wrestler Big E, comedian Quinta Brunson and “Family Matters” star Reginald VelJohnson. I know nothing about the series’ creator Henry Bonsu, but Carl Jones (“The Boondocks”) and Daniel Weidenfeld (“China, IL”) are, with Staples, its executive producers.Lazor Wulf, literally a wolf with a laser strapped to its back, may embody a literal pun on Lazar Wolf, a character from “Fiddler on the Roof.” Cannon Wulf has a cannon strapped to his, and Blazor Wulf a flame, or maybe a flame thrower, to hers. They do not use these in order to save the day, though sometimes they do use them. There is also a horse, called Stupid Horse, as earnest as he is uncool, and a human named King Yeti. (The wolves and the horse are the only talking animals in the show.) As have so many characters of comedy, they hang out on a couch and at a place that serves food.The cast of characters also includes God, a tetchy giant head emerging from the cloud that also forms his beard. In one episode, having been diagnosed with “No chill” by a machine reluctantly operated by Kelsey Grammer as Frasier Crane (but black, like the Ralph Macchio we will meet in another episode), He turns “all of creation into Mutombo Beach, South Carolina” and puts everyone on holiday. This prompts Lazor Wulf to get a job out of spite: “I’m all for taking a day off but being forced to not work is even worse than working; which I also don’t do.” It is that kind of show.

The Costume Quest animated series follows a group of young trick-or-treaters who try to figure out how to use. Costume Quest is an action-adventure game following children on an adventure during Halloween. The childrens' costumes give them special powers to defeat monsters and solve puzzles. The game was first released on October 19, 2010. The game received a sequel in the form of Costume Quest 2 in October of 2014, improving upon elements and bringing an all-new storyline involving time-travel.

The art is neat, flat and geometric, as if accomplished with the help of a ruler, a compass and a protractor — something like a cross between “Yellow Submarine” and a subway map, as drawn by Seymour Chwast and extruded through a 1980s color palette into the middle-early 21st century. Some of it plays out over a white background, some over patterning.

Perspective is not an issue.The pace is relaxed, but at the same time packed with tension, and with information — it goes fast and slow at the same time, somehow, and watching takes either intense concentration or possibly a complete lack of it. I am not saying you should be stoned, not that it’s any of my business. (It has something of the flavor of an animated “Atlanta,” into which the P-Funk Mothership has landed.) To take it all in requires multiple viewings, which it will reward — or perhaps just a brain younger and more porous than mine. Maybe this is for kids, after all.- ‘Costume Quest’Where: Amazon Prime.

Professor layton and the curious village puzzle 102. This series reminds me so much of Gravity Falls. And that is all in a positive way.

Good animation reminiscent of Nickelodeon cartoons from the 90's. I would love this so much more of it wasn't for some of the annoying characters. Main characters no less. Wren one of the lead characters is unbearable. She is entitled loud self centred and generally unpleasant. She has all the makings of an antisocial personality disorder. My entire experience has been ruined by her.

And i really wanted to like this as much as I liked Gravity Falls. Please if anyone who writes for the show reads this. Please change her attitude. Its not the makings of a strong character.

Its just annoying and well it makes me hate her. And makes my experience with the show a negative one.
