Happy Happy Joy Joy: The Ren & Stimpy Story (2020)
The Surreal World of Ren and Stimpy is Much More Than Just Boogers
Happy Happy Joy Joy: The Ren and Stimpy Story is a huge love letter to everyone, and everything involved with The Ren and Stimpy Show. The movie starts off slow in the beginning but speeds up when it starts talking about the production of the show. It gets a little slow again when they interview fans and celebrities like Jack Black, or Bobby Lee, a Weird Al interview was also recorded but didn't make the cut, the celeb interviews seem a little forced for runtime, but I get why they were added in. There is many controversies or other news involved with John K. (like his relationship with Billy West, his kickstarter cartoon, and suing the South Park creators for their poop character) that didn't make the cut due to the documentary already being almost 2 hours long, and I get why, they are only focusing on stuff related to Ren and Stimpy, and they only go for the major controversies. The main focus of the movie is the legacy Ren and Stimpy created, if we didn't have Ren and Stimpy, we wouldn't have Spongebob, The Simpsons, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, almost every current show is influenced by Ren and Stimpy, and that's the message the movie signs off with. If Ren and Stimpy didn't exist, I wouldn't be a cartoonist and draw as much as I do daily. This whole movie is perfect for any fan of animation, tv, or comedy, I absolutely adore this movie, and everyone who just thinks about John K.'s terrible life decisions when Ren and Stimpy is mentioned, give this a watch and learn that John K. isn't the only person who worked on this show. So please give this a watch, it's $0.99 to rent and it's arriving on DVD and Blu-Ray later this year.

I can't tell what's happening!
This short the worst thing that John K. made in his whole career along with Ren and Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon. I'm a fan of Ren and Stimpy it changed my art style in drawing (in a good way), and the creator John K. made another short (with help on Kickstarter) with a budget of over $100,000, but the only problem with that is it took 7 years to make, and the final product sucks. The idea and some of the animation gave this a 3 star rating, but as you read earlier sometimes, the animation is so crazy that I can't even tell what's going on, and the 3D animation doesn't help, in fact, it makes it worse. The camera moves all over the place, and the characters don't even follow along with it! This short sucked, John K. should get mental and physical help.
