Pretty uninspired
22 September 2019
Spider-Ham was one of the multiverse version of Spider-Man who appeared in the main film, and I found this short film on YouTube. Unfortunately where the film captured the imagination by its creativity, control of tone, and swiftness, Caught in a Ham seems half-done and a bit obvious. The inspirations of the short are clear, and the character is not taken beyond the one-liners he has in the filme - one-liners that worked as such, but when they are the focus of the film they do not make the same impact. The short is in the style of Looney Tunes and modern cartoons, but it is always the copy, and doesn't manage to use them as reference points.

Jokes are mostly obvious, and the disconnected character of Spider-Ham is not as funny in context of his universe. A shame then, because the main film was so good and the character was a fun one, but this is uninspired stuff.
