3/10
Pretty OK
25 March 2020
Overall I think that the show has some strong points and weak points. The show's writing is still pretty good, although the comedy is essentially just glorified slapstick and or convenient comedic timing which does get tiring pretty fast. The characters feel mostly the same except for tigress who, in the movies, was an iron woman, but in the show she is turned into just another goofy companion of Po's which does make the characters feel a bit homogeneous at times. Now the really bad. So obviously this show has some redeeming quality else I wouldn't have rated it 7 out of 10. But there are a lot of glaring issues. One is the animation. All I have to say is Jesus. It looks like they went into sfm and slapped some low res kung fu panda models in and got to work. The models look like smooth clay and they move in individual frames rather than fluidly. I get it tho, it's supposed to be a spinoff show for kids, it's not supposed to be stunning by any means but just contrast this with the penguins of Madagascar another nick show expanding on a DreamWorks movie series. The animation is just better. Better lighting, better movement, better models, and more creative, good looking locations. Looking at Penguins of Madagascar really makes KFP Legends of Awesomeness look very sloppy and poorly done. A second issue is the voice acting. Now the voice acting is not bad by any means. I mean most of the actors have really stellar impressions of the characters. IMPRESSIONS. The voices are a little off so it feels more like your listening to people doing impressions of the character rather than playing the character. In conclusion, the show is funny enough and written well but the animations and voice acting make it seem like some parallel universe where all the stuff is the same but just a little bit off which gave the show a very unsettling feel. I honestly think this show would have been a 10/10 had they had the original voice actors and switched it to the 2d animation style they use in other specials like secrets of the masters. Then they could actually make certain shots look good and maybe make the animation look less like individual pictures of clay strung together. Overall 7/10
