The Bob's Burgers Movie 4K ReviewI love the animated series of Bob's Burgers, probably one of my favourite American animated series, with it's dry awkward humour, likeable as heck characters, really odd animation that has a unique flair to the style, along with many relatable episodes and strangely enjoyable ones, I'd say it's waay funnier then like Family Guy and all that, definitely one of the best animated series that's still going strong, now we come to the movie, which was heavily delayed from 2020 to 2021, but now it's finally out and we can go and see it!, exciting!, so I went to see it yesterday and..., yeah I really liked it, gave me exaclty what I needed as a Bob's Burgers fan, but there are a few things that does need work, so let's talk about it.
What I like very much is that what we know and love about the show like the humour, characters and the art style all remains intact, which makes the film feel like how a film of the show would go, it's snapping on the constant humour which just gets funnier with every characters here, my favourite character was always Louise (Kristen Schaal), she's chaotic, adventurous and hilarious, in here she definitely has a arch when it comes to her hat which makes me like her even more and no, the results is not what you think it is, but still funny, the other characters are still great like the always unpredictably funny Gene (Eugene Mirman), the socially awkward Tina (Dan Mintz), the always uplifting and cheery Linda (John Roberts) and the down on his luck and often negative main character Bob (H. Jon Benjamin), the family still have their weird but slightly relatable family dynamics which makes them so likeable, the other major characters from the show are all still hilarious while always playing a key role to the big story like Mr. Fischoeder (Kevin Kline) and Teddy (Larry Murphy) along with a few cameo characters from previous episodes is always a treat, the animation is just as good as the show but with loads of 3D animation to make it blend in with the 2D animation which works fine, the characters still look the same but with actual smooth movements and big treat colours that gives the film a nice big screen look to the world of Bob's Burgers which I liked very much and it's also nice to see more 2D animation in cinemas once again, really gives the cinema experience a nice change, the story does play out like any other episode of the show but feels rather expended but works in it's own unique way that fans can get behind and the story works and is interesting enough to be movie worthy.. kind of, also this film is a musical, not much of a surprise since the show has songs in them but this one is a full blown musical and takes full advantage of it and makes the songs not only catchy but hilarious in the way that only the writers can make it, most of them are really solid.
However with that said, there are a few things that felt that it might need some work on, like example, as well crafted as the film is for a Bob's Burgers film, it feels kinda underwhelming as a cinematic films, films like The Simpsons Movie while feeling like a longer episode of the series felt very much cinematic and big in terms of story and sequences, this one feels quite short and not just from how much fun I had, but I dunno I thought there would of been more of a cinematic flair to it to make it stand out, but also there is actually a bit too much going and too many plots, as entertaining as they all were, the one with Tina trying to ask Jimmy Jr. To be her summer boyfriend could've been cut out and nothing would change, that and it doesn't quite go anyway, despite it being awkwardly funny, also there is a villain song which kinda dragged on a bit and also couldn't been cut down short.
But with that said, The Bob's Burgers Movie is the film we all definitely needed from the show and it's near perfect, despite the lack of cinematic flair and moments that felt either it dragged on or could've been cut despite too much going, but it is really a delightfully entertaining film that fans will love, with the amazing songs, the characters we all know and love, the animation that is just as good as the show and maybe even more so, good story and fun little plots that tie everything together nice while also staying true to the spirit of the show and being hilarious as ever!, if you are a fan of the show then definitely check it out, if not then give it a watch anyway, but I think non-fans might not get the humour of it all, but still go see it, way better then most films based off animated shows.
