The concept of putting a dark twist on Fairy Tales is not a bad concept. What RUINED it was the execution. JJ Villard (yes, the same guy behind King Star King and Trap Universe) just managed to take dark comedy and surrealism WAY too seriously!! The characters never shut the hell up, it's too drugged up, the art turns me off, it's too raunchy, and it's so disgusting!!!
This, like King Star King and Mr. Pickles, could be the next Superjail! All four are horrible Adult Swim shows that rely way too much on shock humor just to get a cheap laugh. It's hard to believe this was animated by Saerom Animation of all studios!! Yeah, the animation studio behind a really good show like the Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack did the animation for this show!!! I know this was not the first time Saerom worked with Villard (that also happened in Trap Universe, a failed pilot), but to make matters more insane, and I know this has been common in various of other Adult Swim shows, is that unlike Villard's two other works for Adult Swim, this was not done at Titmouse, this was done at Cartoon Network Studios!!! Cartoon Network Studios has been known for producing such great material for Adult Swim, including Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, Samurai Jack, Korgoth of Barbaria (though a failed pilot), Black Dynamite, and Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal. Even Welcome to Eltingville is quite good. I know CN Studios also did the Groovenians, and that sucked too, but still!!
I also felt like John Kricfalusi also had involvement with this series!! Then again, why would I expect quality from the same guy behind King Star King. There's too much blood and gore, so much gross-out jokes, terrible voice acting, and the way the characters move, all done at Saerom?? It's like if JJ Villard REALLY wanted to copy the animation movement in South Park, and that show actually WAS fun to watch for 16 seasons!! I get wanting to take inspiration from South Park, but this just feels so wrong!! The way Saerom animated this show is so lousy!! They have done better works in animation, like Amphibia and Flapjack, but this has got to be the worst animation Saerom has ever done. I do not reccommend this show!!
