When I said I wanted to see Ratchet cry, I meant I wanted to see him cry emotional from something like him and the Lombaxes, not never seeing the Pizzaverse again.
@DD - 05DB 960849 Queenston Drive PS Well I talked about it a little bit, but have been considering doing a dedicated video looking back on the series. But it'll be awhile before such a video would come out.
@@purr-fectcatstudios5195 yeah that's the kind of jokes alot of western series have nowadays just fart jokes. tbh its not appealing but yeah it sucks it was cancelled. it would've been a cool series
Ya know VIVI, everything has just come full circle for your channel. What I mean by that is, back when you started talking about R&C, basically the start of your channel, in 2015 before the Movie/PS4 game released. Now here you are, talking about not only a new game but also a short that was made by the same people responsible for the Movie. It's...kind of amazing actually! :)
Watchin' that special really felt like watchin' Sonic Boom, it feels real different to them, the animation even look similar to that show, wouldn't want them to do anythin' with, just to leave it alone and breathe.
I was a bit confused and disturbed about how Clank's personality is changed from what they had in the movie and the game series to a more human-like presence in this animated short, but otherwise the animated short is pretty interesting in its own way
The RC1 weapons literally flip me out with nostalgia , I did remember I have a hard time missing the original weapons in the movie, and I didn't think they add the Holo-Glove from Secret Agent Clank. Yeah I can see what's the improvement compare to the movie everyone's not talking about, but I just wish I knew.
I do have to say, this style seems to fit Ratchet & Clank really well, its similar to sonic boom were each ep is just random adventure with hardly any connection to each ep, imagine this being a series but instead of trying to tell the same story as the games, they just go wild with the wackiness with each ep involve stopping Nefarious schemes or getting into other sort of trouble with each Ratchet uses different weapon to save the day(or cause more problems xD ), including the number of reference they can put from the games xD.
Thanks for including my tweet of the devastating news 😆 Its unfortunate if it was a glitch, but hey, here's hoping it eventually does become a full series. Great video btw ✌
I absolutely loved the special. A R&C animated series has so much potential. I hope the news about Sony developing 7 TV shows and that R&C are on that list or is even being thought of to greenlit.
Wow, I can't believe I didn't realize this was a thing until now! I just finished watching it and it certainly was... interesting. I agree with you that it was okay, I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either. My main gripe with it was just how out of character Ratchet & Clank seemed to me, it was just so strange and kind of hard to watch for the first 10 minutes. After that though, I did enjoy it. There were some funny moments and I loved the references. I think they should continue with this and make it a series; I'd be interested to see what they do with it. Also, great video as always! Your content is wonderful and really high quality.
If they do make it a supposed series, they got to make an episode of where we see what ratchet is afraid of. Unless I forgot there was a moment that happened or something, you don't really see the protagonists fears
1. Thanks to tabreez, I saw that episode. 2. Sounds like it's going to be an argument on this episode. 3. Mainframe is missing a few pieces just like the rift apart demo, especially with the bio-blitorator on what they look like. 4. You have to give them credits on clank, the blue on his head where the antenna is and the big helicopter propeller piece of the helipack is a nice touch.
Well I hope they do go down the pilot road and use this as a stepping stone for a full series, hopefully we won’t have to wait too long for it to come out “officially” in other countries. That being said if we got a few animated specials for a mini series I would be happy enough with that, but I hope this doesn’t end up staying as a one off 😕
I was surprised when they referenced the holo knuckles from Secret Agent Clank. I don’t like the reboot timeline but the people who made this definitely knew the source material if they reference weapons from the most unpopular game in the series.
Definitely better than the movie, the writing just does it for me. It’s not perfect, the pizza subplot I didn’t really like all too much, but the interactions between the Ratchet and Clank felt closer to the original. I would like it if it was just like they’re original characters but this is better than I had expected so if they keep them like this if the show happens then I’ll be happy
The galactic city planet actually uses models from the PS4/movie version of Quartu. You can tell easily by the area where Clank escapes at the beginning of the movie. But yeah, the architecture looks kinda like megacorp even in the movie.
Even though it's kinda sad to see that sony literally ghosted the creators of this show/especial, this thing is VERY weird. It would make sense if this was a pilot episode, it happens somewhat often that pilot episodes are very loosely realated to the show they will eventually become, it's like pretty advanced concept art.
If this ever does become a full-fledged TV show, I'd imagine things would most likely get changed. Specifically for R&C themselves at least. I mean I get it, Ratchet seems be a bit of a jerk like the OG 2002 game. So him kinda acting like that here makes sense. At least to me anyways. Heck, even after checking out the Size Matters cutscenes (which I'm not even entirely sure is canon). We see that Ratchet tends to dislike Qwark, kinda like what's represented here in this episode, or pilot, or whatever it's called. Either way, to me it was funny & it had a good amount of references for the older fans. But despite it's problems, I still liked it more than the Movie. And like you said, if it is a Pilot, the final product might turn out a bit different. Again, if this ever becomes a full TV show. I could imagine an episode where Nefarious would just have Lawrence come in & replace Zed altogether. I mean Zed's alright...I wouldn't miss him..like at all. Lawrence on the other hand, he's just too dang good to replace. Therefore making him very missable.
I believe this series wont happen. Everything points to Sony not wanting to go ahead with it. I have a small suspicion IG isnt too fond of the idea of the series being handled by others either. The fact they completely ignore it gives me that vibe. I think it would be pretty cool to have a series not related to the games, but im also not sad if it doesnt happen. This was such a weird bombshell of a drop xD
I hope get more of this and have full session because more people will watch it if series done right. But life of pie was done right . Since one off thing let hope change there mind in the future and do a full series
Here is my opinion. I agree with all of your points, no flaws at all, but I do have some points about the episode in general. I believe the reason why they made Ratchets personality “childlike” was to try and reference his attitude to the 2002 original game, so that new comers could see how he sorta acted in the original game, because at the end of the episode, he matured just like the in original game and made Clanks mission a primary objective. Putting clank first before himself. Also, Clanks personality in this episode, I like it more than how he usually acts. It’s a mixture of how he always acts, and something new. Example, He , being Ratchets voice of reason, Reasons with Ratchet about the Portalizer and changes his mind and decides to protect it. That’s how he usually acts. The new part was Clank getting back at Ratchet about using the Portalizer in the first place by tagging along Qwark, I liked this new side to him. Because he usually follows orders or acts on his own when necessary. For when Ratchet and Clank were having a fight about the pizza, I was happy to see conflict between them because in the movie, They just worked “too” well together, and the only characters having conflict were Ratchet and Qwark (count Dr.Neff if you wish) It’s what lead to their development by the end of the Episode. For me Qwark hasn’t changed, yet he was a bit odd when he stole the Portalizer, I usually don’t question Qwarks judgement. I was a bit sad that there wasn’t any dirty jokes in the episode like what they did in the old days, The only one I could see was at the beginning of the episode when Ratchet flies by a signpost and the last sign at the bottom says Uranus. It’s hard to notice, it’s not that funny, But at least they tried right? I believe if they really work and indulge themselves into what Ratchet and Clanknis, This series could be a hit. It’s a gamble for sure, But I believe Sony should give it a chance. :)
Ratchet's character was very weird in this special. He was experienced yet immature. Maybe it was played up to contrast Clanks personality who did want to do the right thing. Also, I'm with you and Ratchet, I hate pineapple on pizza. Also, I wish Nefarious had called them "Squishies" at least once.
If this is how the supposed "show" was going to be like, I am actually glad we didn't get it. This would be Teen Titans Go! of Ratchet and Clank universe (and I mean it in every freaking way, the flandarisation of characters, the childish and stupid plot, the complete destruction of characters - looking at you Clank - and that kindergarden level humour). I don't want that. People say it's better than the movie? Excuse me? Where?! People biggest complain about the movie was that it was childish, in that case what is this? Compared to this the movie is a historical drama rated R. And I must dissagree with you VIVI, they did NOT get Nefarious good, they took the most surface level of his humour and characterisation leaving everything that made him a lovable character (and not just a saturday morning, flat, Eggman parody). Yes he is emotional and can be distracted but he is not Tamatoa. Remember when he did not reveal his plans to Ratchet and Alister before trying to kill them? This here was the exact opposite. Nefarious is emotional but intelligent and that made him dangerous, an actual hazart to the galaxy at times and not just a goof who fails all his plans by himself and shopuld not be taken seriously and STOPPING HIM FROM TAKING OVER THE UNIVERSE WITH HIS NEW WEAPON WAS COMPLETLY IGNORED BECAUSE CLANK OF ALL PEOPLE WANTED TO BUY A PIZZA? I MEAN HE'D BE FIRST TO SAY THEY NEED TO STOP HIM WHILE LISTENING TO THE PRESENTATION WHAT THE.... *deep breath*. Sorry for my outbursts in this comment but I really hate this short and everything it tried to do. I love the series, I truly do, but this feels a bit like an insult. And each time I go back to it or think about it I just hate it more...
If they made it into a full series, I think every episode should self-contained (ala _The Simpsons_ ) rather than follow a single storyline. Also, Galactic City looks like it's on Marcadia. It is the Capital after all.
If anything, they should answer the "who is Ratchet" question with the Future saga formula: show Ratchet doing something he obviously loves (e.g overused arguably ship building), throw in some back and forth with Clank, imply how he feels about other characters. In ToD, Ratchet visibly ignored Qwark on the holo message, rolling his eyes to show his annoyance. Then started the action without the unneeded kid heroism. Point is, I hadn't played RC in YEARS since Going Commando, and never completed a game until ToD/Future saga and turned to play all the past games. I was reintroduced and refreshed, partly due to Kelley's recycled battle quotes and solo Clank plays, partly to the correct character formula. I get it, appeal to the kids. But Ratchet was like 18-20 throughout the Future saga and if this independent show wants to grab new fans, dig deeper by staying in character throughout. I'll watch this and probably cringe, but at least I'll see and agree with what works and doesn't.
Slight correction: a pizza is actually an Italian pie. So... yeah. It's not a "complicated" explanation like you made it out to be - it's straight-forward.
Given how Insomniac Games are typically involved with anything Ratchet & Clank. Like merchandise & even the Movie. I still find it very strange that they've been dead silent about this pilot/special even premiering. Maybe it's because it's only in Canada right now & they don't want to upset the R&C fans that are outside of Canada. I have no idea & who really knows until them &/or Sony come straight out & officially say something outside the matter of canonicity for Life of Pie. But until then, if it's gonna get attention. And since Sony is obviously Not going to market it right now. It's really up to us in the R&C community to talk about it & make it more aware to others that it even exists. So it will get attention & possibly get greenlit for a full series. Heck, from what I can tell by just doing a simple UA-cam search. You & me are pretty much the only ones that made actual discussion videos about this short/special/pilot. And that's pretty much it other than Miharu's reaction to it. So yeah, I'm kinda surprised that more R&C UA-camrs aren't talking about this.
Daaammmnnn, they really had to be sneaky about bringing back OG Ratchet and Clank, in an animated short no less, eh? Oh well, whatever, I'm just glad to see the original Ratchet and Clank back in action (before the PS5 game drops of course 😉)
Life of Pie threw out a lot of Ratchet & Clank references and was kinda cool. The comedic delivery could’ve been better and jokes weren’t given nearly enough time to land but most of the comedic subject matter was pretty good. AND YES I LOVED THE SUCK CANNON AND TAUNTER. And it’s Holo-Knuckles* iirc from Secret Agent Clank
you heard about the new upcoming paramount+ releasing on March 4th at all? I really can't wait for it to come to Australia mid-year like the information suggest. it just looks like a gold mine of all the old nickelodeon and Star Trek stuff too. don't you agree as well VIVI? :)
I probably said this on another video but THIS is what should have come first, not a movie where you'd gamble everything on its success, a TV show would be way more forgiving, and way more cheap in the end, I do wish they made Ratchet more... punkish and less bratty, there are probably others who said as much "the characters are off" or "things feel wrong".
I leave a like for the video, watch it after work; i was already satisfied from the episode, as i said in the past community post😄😄 Edit: watched and my thoughts about Life of Pie are...a prelude for Rift Apart BEFORE it was public announced. I try to explain: the new game will arrive at June 2021, after many months of waiting and so; people (we, mostly the long date fans) are waiting it for years! If the IRL timeline is correct, this special (for me it's just a one-go special) was intended to be an announcement for Rift Apart (and i know they said it a stand-alone thing, neither canon). Also limiting it to Canadian audiance isn't a smart move (i have already said, i'm italian and a great fan of R&C) and Lombaxes bless the soul who put it on YT😄, if the intent was to add more interest on the game/series; and yes Insomniac move about not talking about it was strange...very strange. It was a 23 minutes fun special, with many references and so on and it did a better job than the movie (also, i've already said it on your community post); for a one-go special, it did the job.
You know what I think this short deserve to be picked up for series why not have it be aired on Netflix because recently Netflix got the rights to that Sony animated movie reconnected not to mention we've barely have any animated series based on video game characters except for Sonic
Hey Vi, I watched it from beginning, to the end, and here's my opinion/review: it was awesome! 😆 The comedy was on point with the series, especially the jokes they had, here are favorites that I can remember; "Don't Interrupt Me While I'm Taunting You!" "Ratchet, you Suck!" "Back up gloves" "Operation Payback" and of course Lance and Janice. I also really enjoyed the references and easter eggs from past games, including weapons, of course Nefarious stole the show, but I gotta give it to Clank, he had the best comebacks and one-liners for Ratchet. XP I also really loved Ratchet's personality in this, he's such a teenager lol, it reminds me of a combination of his old personality from the first game and with the combination of the movie, he was so immature, but he came to an agreement with Clank at the end, which I liked. Quark stealing, and taking the credit for something he cause, was definitely in his character, he had some great lines as well. My review? 10/10! This is really something I want in a Ratchet & Clank cartoon series, I like the fact that this doesn't have a connection with the main games, making it, it's own universe. While watching it, I got some Jimmy Neutron vibes from it, i don't know why, maybe it was the clever writing or animation or both? 🤔😄 Anyways, I wouldn't mind a Jak & Daxter cartoon just like this, or different animation style, also follow a little bit with the original canon, but do things a bit differently to make it, it's own. What do you think?
That article you showed of the company blaming disney for their failure was actually true believe it or not. I mean it did get released the same time Jungle Book and Captain America Civil War. Those were big films that were grossing a ton of money when it came out. I think if it was pushed for june or july that year it would've been fine. Plus I would also put Sony in the mix since they didn't help market that film besides the game.
@@VtnVivi yeah that was partly the reason. Sony didn't really put alot of effort in marketing the film. they were too focused on selling the game than the film itself. it's really a shame because they could have sold alot of merch instead of just the game. there's not alot of ratchet and clank collectables out there.
Actually Mainframe Studios is the name of formerly named Mainframe Entertainment. Rainmaker Entertainment is Mainframe's Film Division. You might know them as the creators of one of the first CGI Cartoons EVER!?, Reboot.😢
This feels like a cartoon show, IDEA! 💡 They should make a animated series before making Ratchet & Clank 2 (film and game), it should follow up a little with GOING COMMANDO and borrow the plot of UP YOUR ARSENAL, it will also feature Angela as a ally (might be even a playable character in the game) Hopefully it will fill in gaps like how Qwark got recruited back as a Ranger and Zed being hired by Nefarious and maybe we get to see LAWRENCE!!! I also have high hopes for the Sly Cooper film (which should also be made into a game)
As for the whole pineapple on pizza joke throughout the special. I know there were some saying that they were tired of seeing this being used as a joke. But I'm actually okay with it, because seriously...who likes pineapple on their pizza? I know I don't. 😅 (I can already hear the pineapple pizza lovers responding to this)
Ratchet and Clank fought like how they fought in the games. That was worth it.
And I also liked how Quark didn't fight at all, just like in the games :D
^😂😂
This is what i was hoping to see in the movie :(

When I said I wanted to see Ratchet cry, I meant I wanted to see him cry emotional from something like him and the Lombaxes, not never seeing the Pizzaverse again.
I miss the serious and compelling story of A Crack in Time
Here’s hoping to see more of it in Rift Apart.
You just made me realize he actually cried oh Orvus
A bit of what we saw in the comics?
Exactly, Vivi! I remember mentioning this in your videos a couple times.
Never thought I'd hear My Life As a Teenage Robot being brought up in one of VIVI's videos. Really loved that show!

Something like that when it comes to Clank yeah!
the use of reintroducing weapons were just really cool overall I thought. so many old classic references!
Yeah
Frederator also worked on the adaptation of the video game Costume Quest. It’s a pretty underrated series.
I’m happy that we got this rather than nothing at all. If they changes their mind I would not mind getting more of this.
Alrighty!!!

Also what do you think of a Ratchet & Clank anime?
That would be nice.
I'd never say no to anime!
I think I just prefer a show with continuity :P If not for continuity, I just hope they stick to their personalities.
That's understandable.
the whole pizza gags in life of pie was hilarious I thought! really really cool.
Same, especially when Qwark went into their dimension. 😃
I liked it :P
I like it as well

Excellent analysis! You really spend a lot of time to make these videos and it shows.

I was a bit sad that there wasn’t any dirty jokes in the episode like what they did in the old days, The only one I could see was at the beginning of the episode when Ratchet flies by a signpost and the last sign at the bottom says Uranus. It’s hard to notice, it’s not that funny, But at least they tried right? I believe if they really work and indulge themselves into what Ratchet and Clanknis, This series could be a hit. It’s a gamble for sure, But I believe Sony should give it a chance. :)
Thanks for your breakdown!!!!
Well, your not the only one that enjoyed Clank's personality!
3 years later.....it really was a one off🥲
“Ratchet and Clank: Life of Pie” is the Astartes of the R&C franchise!
I was actually waiting for this video!!
Awesome to hear :D
20:01 Megacorp HQ, stylized like Tools of Destruction’s Stratus City, Planet Kortog. Now with 300% less bloom
Ratchet's character was very weird in this special. He was experienced yet immature. Maybe it was played up to contrast Clanks personality who did want to do the right thing.
Also, I'm with you and Ratchet, I hate pineapple on pizza.
Also, I wish Nefarious had called them "Squishies" at least once.
If this is how the supposed "show" was going to be like, I am actually glad we didn't get it. This would be Teen Titans Go! of Ratchet and Clank universe (and I mean it in every freaking way, the flandarisation of characters, the childish and stupid plot, the complete destruction of characters - looking at you Clank - and that kindergarden level humour). I don't want that. People say it's better than the movie? Excuse me? Where?! People biggest complain about the movie was that it was childish, in that case what is this? Compared to this the movie is a historical drama rated R.
And I must dissagree with you VIVI, they did NOT get Nefarious good, they took the most surface level of his humour and characterisation leaving everything that made him a lovable character (and not just a saturday morning, flat, Eggman parody). Yes he is emotional and can be distracted but he is not Tamatoa. Remember when he did not reveal his plans to Ratchet and Alister before trying to kill them? This here was the exact opposite. Nefarious is emotional but intelligent and that made him dangerous, an actual hazart to the galaxy at times and not just a goof who fails all his plans by himself and shopuld not be taken seriously and STOPPING HIM FROM TAKING OVER THE UNIVERSE WITH HIS NEW WEAPON WAS COMPLETLY IGNORED BECAUSE CLANK OF ALL PEOPLE WANTED TO BUY A PIZZA? I MEAN HE'D BE FIRST TO SAY THEY NEED TO STOP HIM WHILE LISTENING TO THE PRESENTATION WHAT THE.... *deep breath*. Sorry for my outbursts in this comment but I really hate this short and everything it tried to do. I love the series, I truly do, but this feels a bit like an insult. And each time I go back to it or think about it I just hate it more...
Thanks for sharing your opinion!!!!!
Truly amazing
27:35 WHAT IS THAT MONSTROSITY!?
Is there a way to watch it free? Without the whole crave thing?
Nope.
If they made it into a full series, I think every episode should self-contained (ala _The Simpsons_ ) rather than follow a single storyline.
Also, Galactic City looks like it's on Marcadia. It is the Capital after all.
AKA The Sonic Boom method.
Hmm.... I'm a sucker for continuity :( But hey, as long as they get the portrayals right.
9 months later, I wonder what happened?
Well, it's always available to watch on UA-cam.
If anything, they should answer the "who is Ratchet" question with the Future saga formula: show Ratchet doing something he obviously loves (e.g overused arguably ship building), throw in some back and forth with Clank, imply how he feels about other characters. In ToD, Ratchet visibly ignored Qwark on the holo message, rolling his eyes to show his annoyance. Then started the action without the unneeded kid heroism.
Point is, I hadn't played RC in YEARS since Going Commando, and never completed a game until ToD/Future saga and turned to play all the past games. I was reintroduced and refreshed, partly due to Kelley's recycled battle quotes and solo Clank plays, partly to the correct character formula. I get it, appeal to the kids. But Ratchet was like 18-20 throughout the Future saga and if this independent show wants to grab new fans, dig deeper by staying in character throughout. I'll watch this and probably cringe, but at least I'll see and agree with what works and doesn't.
Thanks for sharing!!!
I just hope that this is more successful then the 2016 movie
IF it gets picked up that is.
You know something is qrong when this suddenly showed up without fanfare, and so we got a problem
During Life of Pie, what’s that blue thing on clank’s head?
Probably an aesthetic thing?
@@VtnVivi And also, why not replace Zed with Lawrence? The pilot would’ve been so good, but I still like it though
@@purr-fectcatstudios5195 I know :/
Slight correction: a pizza is actually an Italian pie.
So... yeah. It's not a "complicated" explanation like you made it out to be - it's straight-forward.
Well if you put it that way...
Given how Insomniac Games are typically involved with anything Ratchet & Clank. Like merchandise & even the Movie. I still find it very strange that they've been dead silent about this pilot/special even premiering.
Maybe it's because it's only in Canada right now & they don't want to upset the R&C fans that are outside of Canada. I have no idea & who really knows until them &/or Sony come straight out & officially say something outside the matter of canonicity for Life of Pie.
But until then, if it's gonna get attention. And since Sony is obviously Not going to market it right now. It's really up to us in the R&C community to talk about it & make it more aware to others that it even exists. So it will get attention & possibly get greenlit for a full series.
Heck, from what I can tell by just doing a simple UA-cam search. You & me are pretty much the only ones that made actual discussion videos about this short/special/pilot. And that's pretty much it other than Miharu's reaction to it. So yeah, I'm kinda surprised that more R&C UA-camrs aren't talking about this.
Yeah I too noticed not many are talking about it sadly :/
Pssst
A Lop 1080p for your robot, trade ya.
when is your next sly video
Hopefully soon!
ANIMATED SPECIAL!? *Grabs my popcorn and drinks* This should be fun ^D^
HBO Max sounds like a gold mine full of content! why can't that come to Australia already?
Daaammmnnn, they really had to be sneaky about bringing back OG Ratchet and Clank, in an animated short no less, eh?
Oh well, whatever, I'm just glad to see the original Ratchet and Clank back in action (before the PS5 game drops of course 😉)
I hope for more episodes
If R&C ever gets picked up for a full on tv series, I'd hope for a few changes :P
yes
This just came out of nowhere.
It did :O
Life of Pie threw out a lot of Ratchet & Clank references and was kinda cool. The comedic delivery could’ve been better and jokes weren’t given nearly enough time to land but most of the comedic subject matter was pretty good. AND YES I LOVED THE SUCK CANNON AND TAUNTER. And it’s Holo-Knuckles* iirc from Secret Agent Clank
you heard about the new upcoming paramount+ releasing on March 4th at all? I really can't wait for it to come to Australia mid-year like the information suggest. it just looks like a gold mine of all the old nickelodeon and Star Trek stuff too. don't you agree as well VIVI? :)
@Connor Dean yes me too! :)
Hmm....I don't recall :O
I probably said this on another video but THIS is what should have come first, not a movie where you'd gamble everything on its success, a TV show would be way more forgiving, and way more cheap in the end, I do wish they made Ratchet more... punkish and less bratty, there are probably others who said as much "the characters are off" or "things feel wrong".
Thanks for sharing!
I leave a like for the video, watch it after work; i was already satisfied from the episode, as i said in the past community post😄😄
Edit: watched and my thoughts about Life of Pie are...a prelude for Rift Apart BEFORE it was public announced.
I try to explain: the new game will arrive at June 2021, after many months of waiting and so; people (we, mostly the long date fans) are waiting it for years! If the IRL timeline is correct, this special (for me it's just a one-go special) was intended to be an announcement for Rift Apart (and i know they said it a stand-alone thing, neither canon). Also limiting it to Canadian audiance isn't a smart move (i have already said, i'm italian and a great fan of R&C) and Lombaxes bless the soul who put it on YT😄, if the intent was to add more interest on the game/series; and yes Insomniac move about not talking about it was strange...very strange.
It was a 23 minutes fun special, with many references and so on and it did a better job than the movie (also, i've already said it on your community post); for a one-go special, it did the job.
Thanks for tuning in :D
@@VtnVivi my pleasure as always😄😄😄
In the outro, what's with "new art coming soon"?
New art coming, its my way of teasing :P
Teasing as in joking or like a sneak peek, @@VtnVivi?
The aesthetic gave me size matters and secret agent clank vibes . Im not too sure why
You know what I think this short deserve to be picked up for series why not have it be aired on Netflix because recently Netflix got the rights to that Sony animated movie reconnected not to mention we've barely have any animated series based on video game characters except for Sonic
Sony does have 7 TV shows planned, let's see what it'll be!
Hey vivi did you saw the new trailer for the mortal kombat movie yet ?
Nope!
@@VtnVivi it’s pretty good you should do a video on the that !
Hey Vi, I watched it from beginning, to the end, and here's my opinion/review: it was awesome! 😆
The comedy was on point with the series, especially the jokes they had, here are favorites that I can remember; "Don't Interrupt Me While I'm Taunting You!"
"Ratchet, you Suck!"
"Back up gloves"
"Operation Payback"
and of course Lance and Janice.
I also really enjoyed the references and easter eggs from past games, including weapons, of course Nefarious stole the show, but I gotta give it to Clank, he had the best comebacks and one-liners for Ratchet. XP
I also really loved Ratchet's personality in this, he's such a teenager lol, it reminds me of a combination of his old personality from the first game and with the combination of the movie, he was so immature, but he came to an agreement with Clank at the end, which I liked.
Quark stealing, and taking the credit for something he cause, was definitely in his character, he had some great lines as well.
My review?
10/10!
This is really something I want in a Ratchet & Clank cartoon series, I like the fact that this doesn't have a connection with the main games, making it, it's own universe.
While watching it, I got some Jimmy Neutron vibes from it, i don't know why, maybe it was the clever writing or animation or both? 🤔😄
Anyways, I wouldn't mind a Jak & Daxter cartoon just like this, or different animation style, also follow a little bit with the original canon, but do things a bit differently to make it, it's own.
What do you think?
Back up gloves yep that was funny! The episode had its fun moments, but I just feel Ratchet and Clank were too kiddified :P Overall, it was ok!
@@VtnVivi Okay dude, I got cha. 😎👌🏾
so "Ratchet and clank:" is the main title and "Life of pie" is the subtitle or the name of the episode
For now it seems like it's the name of the episode.
He does anyone think that the plumber kinda looks like a cragmite a little bit
me and stuffykid2005 just watched it and let me tell you we loved it
Great to hear!
Okay everyone, get your emails and handwritten letters ready for Sony!
We could have an animated series with three animated movies after.
I'd be very surprised.
That article you showed of the company blaming disney for their failure was actually true believe it or not. I mean it did get released the same time Jungle Book and Captain America Civil War. Those were big films that were grossing a ton of money when it came out. I think if it was pushed for june or july that year it would've been fine. Plus I would also put Sony in the mix since they didn't help market that film besides the game.
Perhaps it was true.....But do recall that the movie had poor marketing as well.
@@VtnVivi yeah that was partly the reason. Sony didn't really put alot of effort in marketing the film. they were too focused on selling the game than the film itself. it's really a shame because they could have sold alot of merch instead of just the game. there's not alot of ratchet and clank collectables out there.
Actually Mainframe Studios is the name of formerly named Mainframe Entertainment. Rainmaker Entertainment is Mainframe's Film Division. You might know them as the creators of one of the first CGI Cartoons EVER!?, Reboot.😢
Ah yes Reboot :P
This feels like a cartoon show, IDEA! 💡
They should make a animated series before making Ratchet & Clank 2 (film and game), it should follow up a little with GOING COMMANDO and borrow the plot of UP YOUR ARSENAL, it will also feature Angela as a ally (might be even a playable character in the game)
Hopefully it will fill in gaps like how Qwark got recruited back as a Ranger and Zed being hired by Nefarious and maybe we get to see LAWRENCE!!!
I also have high hopes for the Sly Cooper film (which should also be made into a game)
So is it just 1 episode?
Yep one-off.
If this does lead into a show that would be nice hopefully not for one part of the world i'm talking about all over
Interesting.
Interesting.
Fun fact I actually wrote and animated a ratchet and clank short called ratchets new armor
Oh, you got a link?
@@SuperWorldJumper I sure do
Nicolas Pajuelo Can I have it?
Here’s then link I acendently sent the wrong one ua-cam.com/video/4dNAi3h-_xo/v-deo.html
Have you seen Super Mario Bros. Z and Nazo Unleashed, Garen?
I have not.
You should look it up on UA-cam later, @@VtnVivi.
That's a lie. The Ratchet & Clank Movie was not that bad. It was really cool to see in theaters.
The movie was alright, but I can definitely notice issues it has.
As for the whole pineapple on pizza joke throughout the special. I know there were some saying that they were tired of seeing this being used as a joke. But I'm actually okay with it, because seriously...who likes pineapple on their pizza? I know I don't. 😅
(I can already hear the pineapple pizza lovers responding to this)
It is delicious
It is delicious
I love the Ratchet and clank movie in 2016 because I like the animation and the story and the characters in my own way
We did it with Sonic once before... who'd be up for round 2?
Sonic Boom?
