Another Dav Pilkey adaptation by Dreamworks, Dog Man has a similar zany humor to Captain Underpants, but it relies more on silliness rather than toilet humor (though a few such jokes do exist here). It's not a comedic riot, though there are a few genuinely good jokes.
Rather, what it excells at is in its emotional gravitas. Despiste the silly way he comes about, Dog Man is a deeply tragic character, and so is his nemesis. The movie even delves into generational trauma, and does so succintly and not light at all despiste all the comedy. Though there are some dark jokes to be had about Petey's circumstance.
The animation is a stylized CGI that delves into comic book aesthetics even more than Captain Underpants, and the textures on Petey, his clone and Dog Man are almost velvetty.
Overall, a well animated rolled coaster that I cannot recommend enough.

Well, it's better than the Sandycheeks movie. But then again, what the hell isn't?
For one thing, the animation is better. Most of the movie has a shadowless but relatively decent CGI style, with a few 2D elements like Karen's faces. Some scenes like flashbacks however go for a vibrant 2D style reminescent of classic cartoons, which is pretty welcome considering the abysmal visuals of th previous Netflix Spongebob movie. And a few scenes show live action for Plankton's hands; its funnier than this description I swear.
Spongebob is once again what drives the movie down. He's at his dumbest, so the other characters do the plot and comedic heavy lifting.
A somewhat tepid recommendation.

O Jardim da Celeste (lit. "Celeste's Garden" in portuguese) is one of the many puppet shows in the awake of the debut of Sesame Street. Yet, it falls short on quite a few metrics:
If there is one positive thing I can say about this show, is that the 2D segments aren't bad at all.
- The puppets are horrendous. They're quite ugly to look at and have limited motion. It makes one appreciate Jim Henson's character designs all the more.
- The plots are rather trite and talk down to the audience. True, this is a children's show, but again I direct you to Sesame Street, that deals with heavy topics like death and discrimination and prepares kids to the hardships of life in a gentle way.
