This
animated short about three super-powered girls was Craig's first step towards
achieving fame and fortune...well, fame...among kids...girls to be more
precise...some teens...and a handful of animation savvy adults...but we love him
and that's what's important. What I found surprising was how much the
characters didn't change between then and now. The style of
animation, character mannerisms, gags, even the ending sequence were virtually
unchanged. It's nice to see an artist's vision not be compromised by
network executives along the way.
The
episode, if I can even call it that, isn't very good. You don't get a good
feel for any of the characters except maybe the Amoeba boys. But what does
shine through is the overall feeling that this is something special. It's
got the potential to be something really great.
It's
not fair to compare this to other episodes since the production values are much
lower. Instead, I based my rating on comparing "Whoopass Stew"
to other animated shorts I've seen throughout the years.
