GUDETAMA: AN EGGCELLANT ADVENTURE: This series is an adaptation of the Japanese Gudetama anime / manga comics, about lazy egg Gudetama and his sibling Chick who go searching for their mother. I am a big fan of the original Gudetama shorts, and therefore can appreciate the comedy here. Food humor is not for everyone, as they (the personafied food based characters) often rot, get thrown away or get eaten, but it was a hilarious adaptation of the original character, full of slapstick humor and even philosophy. The graphics are really gorgeous and the characters all color and memorable.
"A lethargic, empathetic road movie about finding one's parents - for everyone who just wants to laze about. Having resigned itself to the fact that it will just end up on someone's plate, Gudetama just wants to be lazy all the time."
While this series is suitable for children there are some material that might be better suited for older children, teens and adults. Overall, this was a very entertaining and funny show, both light-hearted and deep, with both dark and slapstick humor, heavy on Japanese flavor, that a follows foods journey around Japan, dealing with family and friendship, life and death.
