Amazon and MGM revealed that A “spaceball” suite will officially move forwardWith Mel Brooks – at the dawn of his 99th anniversary – returning to resume her yogurt role of his original usurpation film of 1987. This news responds to a lot of impatient anticipation, because “Spaceball” fans (many of whom have back pain) speculated to find out whether or not it would happen for years. The film’s film’s trailer highlights hilariously that since 1987, there have been many television programs and television films “Star Wars”, not to mention Disney animated films, remakes of these films and the prequels of these remakes. There was also, as the teaser notes, many films “extraterrestrials” and “predators”, Several films “Jurassic Park”Eight films “Harry Potter”, a remake of television program developing these films, and 36 films taking place in the Marvel cinematographic universe. But, adds, there was only A “Spaceball.”

However, this is not entirely exact. Technically, since 1987, there have been two “space balls”. It’s just that we hang much further than the other. Few remember short-term life and perhaps poorly informed, “Spaceball: The Animated Series”, which lasted 13 episodes in 2008 and 2009. It was broadcast on G4, the digital network which has become best known for its report on the video game industry in the mid-2000s.

“Spaceballs: The animated series” brought together the members of the original distribution Daphne Zuniga, Joan Rivers and Dom Deleuse, who played Princess Vespa, Dot Matrix and Pizza The Hutt, respectively, while Brooks returned to express the Yogurt and President Skroob. Bill Pullman (who played Lone Starr) was replaced by Rino Romano, John Candy (who played Barf before the death in 1994) was replaced by Tino Insana, George Wyner (who played Colonel Sandurz) was replaced by David Wittenberg, and Rick Moranis (who was withdrawn for years) was replaced by Deee Bradley Baker. Julianne Groassman also resumed the role of Zircon commissioned from Leslie Bevis, but also played most of the female support characters in the series.

The show is … okay.

The cartoon “Spaceballs” tries to capture part of Brooks’ propensity for word games, humor with a low content in terms of art and Borscht-Belt style comedy, but most of this falls flat in animation. Brooks could write cheap word games in his films because a talented comic actor could deliver them with a nod to the camera. In animation, especially when using the unexpressive style used in “Spaceball: The Animated Series,” Gags are simply bad. It is a series that tries to provoke shooters of a line like “we have to throw the only onion ring in the fries of bacon”. A live actor or perhaps a Mad magazine could make it funny. “Spaceball: The Animated Series” does not do so.

In addition to that, the program uses flash animation, so its characters move more like paper dolls than fully articulated figures. Everything looks stiff and cheap.

Meanwhile, the intrigues of the show are wide and stupid, but it is in hand for his comedy. “Spaceballs: The Animated Series” is also closer to the execution of “Family Guy” that the film “Spaceball”, eager to Yvraver any popular culture and not only “Star Wars” (with some jokes targeting franchises like “Alien” launched in the mixture). On the contrary, the “Spaceball” cartoon is blurring current events and pop culture of its time, incorporating parodies of “Caribbean pirates”, “Grand Theft Auto” and “Lord of the Rings” (as mentioned above) while simultaneously nodding like E. Coli. The show is the strongest when he sticks to the satire of “Star Wars”. For example, it starts with the usurpation of George Lucas’ prequel trilogy, revealing that the black helmet was originally a boy named Pannakin Crybaby.

(By the way, the black helmet is animated to appear two feet high, which is a strange aesthetic choice. Rick Moranis at 5 ‘6 “; that short.)

The only piece of “spaceball” cannon that “the animated series” explicitly rewritten was the royal line of Lone Starr. He was revealed at the end of the 1987 Brooks film that Lone Starr was secretly a prince all his life, which allowed him to marry Princess Vespa. In “Spaceball: The Animated Series”, however, he revealed that his royal line was a bad reading of a birth certificate, which leads to her marriage to the canceled princess.

The “Spaceball” cartoon was also not well received by fans, partly due to a mysterious production delay. The program was announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2007, the plan being that G4 would make 13 episodes, the first of which will be presented on an unknown date. In the end, however, the show would not see the light of day before September 21, 2008, 16 months after the announcement for the first time. At that time, enthusiasm had sort of distant and many people had stopped paying attention.

Unfortunately, the series was not very well revised either. IGN gave the show a 4 out of 10Declaring that the parodies were glibs and obvious and the humor was not funny. Wired, similarlyestimated that the cartoon “Spaceballs” was simply missing with regard to his comedy, noting that the climbing of this type had already been ruined by the wave of terrible films and heavy with references which had infected theaters in the mid -2000s. Indeed, “Date Movie”, “Superhero Movie” and The sworn enemy of IMDB, “Disaster Movie”, “ Everything was out at the same time as “Spaceball: The Animated Series,” stealing the series from the series and thinking badly about its satire.

If the crew behind the “Spaceball” suite is warned, the film will refer to the animated spin-off of the original film. Assuming that Brooks has his say in the matter, he would probably mention it simply to reject it, and the nature of the fourth wall of the film will allow a character to note that “animated programs do not count”. We will have to wait and see if the Schwartz wakes up when the film will be released in 2027.
