Review: The Loud House “A Dark and Story Night/Feast or Family”
Overview (Spoilers Below)
“A Dark and Stormy Night”
During a Thunderstorm Black-out within the titular “Loud House,” the Kids take turns telling a weird story that progressively takes wild and bizarre turns as we delve into their wildly colorful imaginations…
“Feast or Family”
When family jokester Luana enters a culinary class, Dad uses it to share his passion for cooking with one of his kids for the first time. Creative comic hijinks and potential life-changing decisions ensue…
Our Take
Many of the jokes and characters are somewhat grounded in reality, even if a few are pushed to comedic and sometimes exaggerated proportions. The art is colorful, and the storytelling moves at a brisk pace within the 30 min running time of Nickelodeon utilizing the traditional “2-episode format” along the lines of Cartoon Network shows such as Steven Universe, Regular Show, and Adventure Time.
While the ‘Dark and Stormy Night” episode excelled with delving into the kid’s imaginations with a predictable lesson about how fun doesn’t always have to come from our everyday technology, the heart of “Feast or Family” was about finding common ground between a father and his daughter and finding a compromise that makes both sides happy while keeping things fun.
Do we know if Hulu will be the only entity to have the dub, or if it will be on other platforms, too? The show in general is definitely going to be on multiple platforms.
