Oggy and the Cockroaches

Slapstick with no one to root for except the pause. The cruelty is the joke and the joke does not stop.

Oggy is pain as a cartoon, repeated until a child thinks the repetition is the pleasure. There is no one to become and no one to forgive. Small children laugh at the hitting because the hitting does not leave a mark on the cat. That is the problem, not the excuse. Take it off the profile.

Descendants: Wicked World

Commercials with a runtime. Not a story you need.

Wicked World is the interstitial brand: the same faces, a curse-of-the-week, a joke about being good, no time for anyone to change. It exists so the movies are never off the screen.

Skip. A short that cannot afford a consequence cannot teach one.
