You start to hear the sounds of the morning, the wind rustling the leaves, the chirping of the birds and that’s when you realize what day it is–Saturday! Cartoons! All week long you’ve been starved of cartoons, and now it is your time to feast! You throw off the covers, shove your feet in your slippers and sprint downstairs!
Grab that big bowl of C-3POs, adjust the antennae and plop down on the floor for your weekly dose of animated fun!
This is “Analog Agent Benjamin” coming at you this week with…. Little Shop
Little Shop was based on a hit re-make movie from the 80’s called Little Shop of Horrors, but unlike the movie it was based on, this series was just not good.
This series took everything that was good about the movie, butchered it, and remade it into something that was not very fun to watch. You see, Little Shop of Horrors was the first Horror movie I ever saw with my Mom, and we both thought it was a fun & scary movie. So when I found out that there was going to be a cartoon series based on it, I thought it was going to be good, boy was I wrong.
So, did anyone else here see this show when it was on? And if so, did you think it was the worst cartoon ever made?
At the time I liked it but looking back, yeah, it was pretty terrible.
Note that the 80s movie itself was based on a Broadway musical that was based on a Roger Corman horror film. The cartoon actually has more in common with the Corman film, oddly enough.
I saw a bit of it. Certainly doesn’t hold a candle to the original film though nice they remembered it despite there being an 80’s musical too.
