Movies - Season Three
Every once in a while a show comes along that breaks the mold and makes
me wish I watched more TV. Home Movies is one of those shows.
A part of
the Adult Swim lineup on Cartoon Network, Home Movies is a smart,
amusing and perfectly addictive animated sitcom. Think South Park
without the vulgarity but ten times the charm. Done on the cheap, this
Flash animation technique allows for greater personal expression, making
Home Movies perhaps the network's best effort thus far, though
it was supposedly the least watched.
It's the
story of eight-year old Brendon Small (played by comic Brendon Small),
who documents his movie fantasies with the help of his schoolmates. Besides
his stellar writing, the real-life Small is a gifted vocal artist, imbibing
his digital alter ego with a dry, laconic, everyman quality that's irresistible.
This 13-episode
edition includes these special features: an interactive game, episode
animatics (very interesting!), a music video, a radio interview with Jon
Benjamin and Loren Bouchard (outright hilarious!) and more. There are
a number of insightful, rambling episode commentaries from the show's
two creators Brendan Small and Loren Bouchard, though some are poorly
mixed. The graphics that adorn the box are superb, enhancing the attractive
package more fully. It comes from Shout! Factory which is known for their
top quality DVD releases.
Sadly, the
show's been cancelled but we can look forward to another final season
on DVD. A truly remarkable achievement and a delight to watch one after
the other, which I did until they were done. Great gift!

HOME MOVIES on DVD
Genres: Animation, Comedy
Plot Synopsis: TV series about the life of Brendon Small, an eight-year-old
visionary who, using his friends Jason and Mellisa as actors, have managed
to direct over a thousand homemade films. His parents are divorced,
but it doesn't feel strange since so many other kids' parents are divorced.
His friend Jason actually feels upset because his parents are still
together. At school, he is taught soccer by his coach John McGirk, or
as he calls him, "that weird Irish guy".
Product Description
"One of the funniest sitcoms anywhere on television." –
Time
Home Movies is about a family, but Home Movies is not a family show.
It’s got kids in it, but it is aimed squarely at adults. The series
spotlights third grader Brendon Small, a young filmmaker who writes,
acts, directs and "co-executive produces" his "groundbreaking
early work" along with friends Melissa (age 8) and Jason (age 7).
The show also features Coach McGuirk, a youth soccer coach who hates
soccer and isn’t all that crazy about youths.
The third season of this half-hour cult-hit comedy towers as one of
the greatest seasons in the history of television;. It includes the
nearly flawless "Shore Leave" (which won an award at some
festival), the fan favorite "Guitarmageddon," as well as the
episodes "Storm Warning" and "Renaissance," which
have some really funny parts.
Season Three represents an already great show truly hitting its stride.
If you’re a fan of the show, then this season is a "must
see." And if you’ve never seen Home Movies, this is a perfect
place to start. Then work your way backwards.
