Ren & Stimpy - The Lost Episodes

Description

After a ten year hiatus, John K. resurrected his classic cartoon for Spike TV – no holds barred. Witness the cartoons he always wanted to make, uncensored and out of control. Deemed too hot to handle by Spike execs, these episodes are now available on DVD – be warned: this is not your baby-brother’s Ren & Stimpy!

Summary: "stinky"

can I say I love the originals better then this, I watch everything basically, Simpsons, family guy, south park, Cleveland show, squidbillies, Metalocalypse, American dad-the list goes on and on. I have few complaints with all these shows, with saying that, Ren and stimpy the lost episodes or adult party or whatever its called is just bad, and mean spirited above all. There is nothing good about it, I found myself grossed out by its overindulges of filth. It is a judgment from on high that this got canned.

Summary: "Just when you thougth it couldn't get worse."

Fans of the original 90's Ren & Stimpy, beware. In 2004 when Spike TV bought the rights to Ren & Stimpy writer, director, creator, and animator John K. approached Spike's CEO's. Throughout the myriad of fan-mail he'd received from as far back as the early 90's when the show premiered some ideas were presented to John K. from fans for episodes. John K. also took it upon himself to throw some episode scripts he'd held onto that Nickelodeon had found "too extreme" for their audiences. With the green light from Spike TV and lee-way to do absolutely whatever he wanted, John K. inevitably...went to an even higher extreme.

Viewer beware...Your mind will not make it out of a single episode intact.

All around an amazingly well done collection featuring one-on-one interviews with John K. himself introducing each episode. Each interview adds unparalleled depth to the already endeared show and the history behind its origins and creator. Pack that with the six episodes made for Spike TV in their raw and absolutely uncensored format (they show it ALL...I'm not kidding folks) and you're in for a total mind-frag.

Though lacking in other special features the interviews and episodes speak for themselves. All around a great collection. My vote: (If you're a fan) definitely a buy. If you've never seen the show and are looking to get into it you may want to watch some of the original show first, which you can find here on Amazon easily. Alternately if you're just looking for the sickest, grosses, absolutely most gut-wrenchingly disgusting (but HILARIOUS) cartoons you can ever in your wildest dreams imagine, this is the collection for you.

Summary: "It's back, and it's still great"

These episodes are worth the price of admission... defintely. The first cartoon on the disc, Nake Beach Frenzy, has made me laugh more consistently then any other cartoon I've watched in my whole life. Stimpy's pregnant, the second one, is also really, really funny, and actually quite informative/perseptive as well. The animation in them continues in the old Ren and Stimpy pattern and conintues to find new ways to make us laugh giving up new ways of looking at the characters every time we wee them. He plays around with using words on the screen more then in the originals and some of the drawings are incredible. The voice acting in Simpy's pregnant is awesome.

If you loved the first couple of seasons when John was at the helm and if your actually a John K fan then these cartoons will not dissapoint. There are still the old gross out jokes from the originals but there is also so much more. Don't dweel on the couple of poo jokes, look at the whole package. Buy this before it's too late and beg John/the guy's with the money, to make more cartoons for us... please.

Summary: "Horrific!"

I can't understand why anyone would rate this higher than 1 star. I'm glad I bought it for only five dollars. I'm all about anti-censorship but the problem is that this cartoon just wasn't funny or clever. It was just embarrassing. They try way too hard to be "adult" and didn't try at all to be well written.
