Marnies Welt (2018)
Terrible female voice lead - American English ed.
Ok, to be fair, my 4yo was absorbed and it's safe content so you really don't have to watch with them for that reason. I did watch though, because family bonding. The story line is basic but Ok, some wit and jokes to be appreciated by adults, the animation is pretty good, most of the voice actors are movie quality. But not the main titular "cat" character. I think for the American sub the recruited some "up and coming" "social media star". Whew. Big mistake. Really gives you an appreciation for the skill of actual voice actors. The cat voice just really takes you out of the story every time it speaks. Probably I shouldn't get so worked up about a kids movie, It's just that I try to pick movies the whole family can enjoy so the adults don't regard family time as a chore and me and my spouse and I were just cringing thru this whole thing, every time the cat had dialouge. I feel sorry for everyone else involved in this film, they did a competent or even quality job; it's really rare that you can pin the crappiness of a film on one person but the cat voice actress of the American dub of this totally destroyed this film.
Mapleworth Murders (2020)
Omg. Good.
I'm trying to find places to leave good reviews while simultaneously avoiding spoilers as I'm only on episode 2. Basicaly I'm scrolling back and forth really fast so the words go so fast I cant focus on them. This show is great, skewering all the funny tropes, but in a funny respectful way. Did I say it was funny? And clever? And hit all the traditional tv murder sitcom points? "Sorry, I had a generic red bull" " ok,it's ok, I'm riding on adderall". <----actual show quotes. Also a lot of "oh that person is famous, why are they on a minor comedic show" moments and then you realize, WAIT, THIS SHOW IS THAT GOOD. All in the first ep. Which is 8 min. Yes. All that in 8 min. Except that quote, which is in ep. 2, so like another 6 min. Totally worth the time.
