While weak, I think it did do its purpose. It gave us (somewhat of) an introduction of the characters. (Gretel the hyper and positive younger sibling, Kevin older, more negative, wants more with his life, Hamster. . . the hamster. With superpowers.) It gave the characters superpowers, one of the main aspects of the show. I hope there's a couple flashback episodes to show how the characters felt and acted before they got superpowers, and I think there's a possibility that the crew might do what they did with Candace in CATU, which was giving a look into Candace's mental health as she was practically ignored while her brothers were everyone's focus. But this time, there would be multiple episodes instead of pushing it into 90 minutes.
I agree with pretty much everything you've said. There just seems to be a massive disconnect between what's happening in the scene and how it's animated. This scene forms the scene that forms the foundation for the show's premise, but it's animated with a nonchalant tone like it's just a clip of background characters waiting around for the main character to kick off the story. The only way I can see this working right now is if the entire show heavily leans into everyone just being used to insane stuff happening. But MML already did that, and from what I've seen so far, it did it better. I'm still going to watch it though. After all, it's made by Dan Povernmire, so I'm cautiously optimistic that it'll be good.
I think it would be interesting if Kevin was the main character, and the show being about him having to cope with a superhero sister and her superhero pet hamster. The cold open almost seems to suggest this, as it was mainly focused on him rather than Gretel.

@@adamgipsonn because it is not necessary for everyone to have conflicts, or it would be forced and he would feel awkward and out of place. If there is any from time to time but you are not going to ask them to be all time. What matters is having fun with the wonders since it is a show that is seen not only by children, but also by adolescents and adults, for a reason it is for all audiences and not for a specific niche
To be honest, the first look of Hamster & Gretel looks pretty descent. Even if it had many flaws, I could very much respect the cast and crew working on the show to make it fun and worthwhile. As a huge Phineas and Ferb fan, I bet Hamster & Gretel could be a fun watch and I hope for the best that it will be good when the show comes out.
I have an insane theory to throw against the wall. I was thinking about what the motivation would be to give these kids powers. What if it's someone from the future who knows that giving them these powers will eventually lead to them stopping some disaster. And who do we know that's familiar with both time travel AND alien tech? What if the big twist later on in the show is that the ones giving them these powers are Cavendish and Dakota
No one: Dan Povenmire 1 minute into his new pilot: ALIENS You have a lot of great points about this! This show has a lot of potential, but this preview definitely makes me question whether that potential will be reached. We need to see character-driven stories that put the core characters' relationships front and center, to sell us on why we should care about them. Otherwise, the show risks blending in with every other children's superhero show. Also a strong supporting cast, unique music, interesting character designs, really just anything to give the show its own identity will go a long way.
From what I have gathered and even Johnathan men tioned this, the fact that test audiences loved Hamster and Gretel and many Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy's Law allumni say it looks great makes me wonder if they're something about the show they haven't showed us yet.
I think the thing that singlehandedly interests me the most about this show is how little we still know about it after like, a year of knowing about it. The sneak peek is basically just an animated elevator pitch -- there's no defined character relationships, no definitive threat, I don't even know what Kevin's going to be doing if he isn't as insanely resentful as I imagine him to be over being snubbed by a hamster. Like ??? who knows...
While I do agree with almost everything you said in this video, I'm still very interested in this show. It does seem like it was made for a younger audience, which could maybe explain the extremely fast pacing. Definetly agree with the aliens. I get it, Dan loves aliens, but you can't go back to them every time you need a plot device.
But the series comes from the same PnF universe, since that's where it was established, and one expects to know what more races or species exist, so it's not out of nowhere
@@falconslayer.a165 Yeah it makes sense to put another alien ship in the show because it's in the same universe as Phineas and Ferb so it makes sense for them to put a alien ship.
Anyone think that Kevin(?) and Grettle look like they were done in two different animation styles. While Kevin looks like a PaF character (and MML), Grettle looks almost like a Flash creation. That’s my only real complaint and every time I see them together, I just can’t help but feel like two different ‘people’ were working on the same shot. One group did Kevin while a completely different did Grettle. They both look similar, but the texture is drastically different to me.
You say these characters don't pass the silhouette test but i think milo murphy's characters don't either both series MCs look like background characters
I must admit, I actually really enjoyed this sneek preview of the series. While I do agree with some of your complaints here, like how a little more effort could have been put into the score do distinguish his show from its predecessors, and the animation is... much to be desired, I'm still looking forward to the show when it actually premieres.
What is seen there is not a fragment of the first episode, it is possibly a sneak peak, which I feel is an oversight so that we see the first true episode when it is released. But still I hope that on June 14 you can see some progress and details of the show. I know they will not disappoint Dan Povenmire and his crew
With Dan, there’s always potential. But after I loved Milo’s debut, H&G’s debut leaving a bad taste in my mouth is a bad sign. I want to like this and of course I’m going to give it a chance. But it’s definitely not off to the best of starts
I feel that Dan can only make one type of show. If Disney is so keen on having dan keep making phineas and ferb clones then just renew more seasons of that show or do a sequel series.
I wonder if some of these flaws could be blamed by the absence of Swampy, I've been confused about this since the show was announced since him and Dan were always partners in crime.
It could be. Jeff Swampy Marsh seemed to be less involved in Milo Murphy's Law since he was showrunner for Pete The Cat (a preschool show that came out on Amazon Prime Video in late 2017). He's now currently showrunner for Hey AJ (an upcoming show for Disney Junior), and Dan isn't involved with that either.
I love this animated show it reminds me of the animated shows i grew up watching which were always comedy like SpongeBob The Loud house and Phineas and Ferb and since i also love superhero movies this is Definitely my favorite animated show and Gretel's my favorite character and apparently both Hamster and Gretel are indestructible since she mentions that she could be and Kevin says they shouldn't test it out and in sleepover with the enemy she gets crushed between a wall and a moving truck and the only thing that got damaged were the ketchup packets she had in her pockets
I know sometimes first episodes aren't great (except for Milo, that first episode rocked) So I'm hoping maybe the rest of the show will be good, and that it was just an unfortunate first clip to start us on. I really want to root for Dan and his team, as they're all super talented and obviously passionate about it, so it's best to not call the show itself bad until we get some full episodes to actually get a full taste of it. But yikes that first clip did not sell it for me. it also seems like it might be aimed for a slightly younger audience, so maybe I'm just not close enough to the target demographic to enjoy it as much as I enjoyed Milo Murphy's Law. Here's to hoping the villains are good though
I wonder if much like in Phineas and Ferb, Gretel's brother is the main character and I wonder if despite everything he cares for his sister and the hamster, to the point he (even if he doesn't want), ends helping them in their missions and without knowing he ends becoming a hero, despite he doesn't have powers, but he's very jaded to see that.
I actually really liked the intro for the show, and I'm super excited for it! Just from the first 2 minutes, I can tell that this show is going to be just as funny as Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy's Law. The main reasons I like those shows is not just for the story, but because they are super funny shows. And the first 2 minutes of Hamster and Gretel were really funny!
I'm so used to Dan's normal voice from watching all his tiktoks that it felt really jarring to hear him use his normal voice for the aliens. It just sounded like Dan povenmire was talking to me or making another tiktok
The animations looks a bit cheap and not on par with it predecessor Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy. I can see lasting for a season or two, until being cancelled during it second season.
A lot of the things that irked me in the sneak peek were things that could easily be improved as time went on. For me, it was mainly the pacing and the very little defining characteristics of the characters, but those are things that will most definately be expanded on as the show goes on.
@@jaohonaxa yeah, I know. I’m looking forewords to the full show and am definitely gonna watch it when it hits Disney plus, good or bad. The pacing just really threw me for a loop
I had a lot of the same thoughts while watching the preview. The show seems like it will be fine, but that's it. Fine. Nothing offensively bad, but nothing memorable either I don't think every show needs to be memorable as long as it's enjoyable, so it's not necessarily a bad thing, but I still walked away from the preview feeling pretty "meh" (Also my personal bet is Dee Bradley Baker as the voice of hamster lol)
(If you're right): Dee Bradley Baker: If I had a nickel for every time I was cast as a heroic pet in a Dan Povenmire show, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Here's my opinion: I think all of us PnF/Milo fans have Alien fatigue. PnF had multiple episode plots with aliens, their latest movie was all about aliens, Milo's season 2 was all aliens, even old PnF movie ideas were about aliens. To me, it makes them feel less special. I agree the animation and silhouette test aren't anything to write home about, but I'm hoping that was because they're using a lot of their budget (at least for that episode) on some big action scene or a cool fun B plot. Something that really sparks my interest! And side characters, a show is nothing without it's supporting cast. I want to love H&G just like I love PnF and Milo, I'm just worried it won't live up to the hype.
Oh my god I laughed so hard when you said how Gretel is literally oblivious like Phineas, life’s gotta be hard for her own secret admirer if you know what I mean
The clip felt rushed. They should had gone it slower like show more of the siblings doing stuff instead of telling show Kevin that he's looking for more in life. And instead of aliens giving them powers, why not an accident like from radiation.
I feel like the main problem of this opening sene is the lack of reactions. The entire time, Kevin and Gretel just have the same emotions and reactions despite everything that happened. This tell us nothing about the characters, and nothing about how Gretel and Hamster’s superpowers will affect everyone. It also makes it seem like the whole “superpowers” incident is really insignificant, and/or just a regular occurrence.
I really don't like Gretel's design. Something about it feels so uncanny and odd. Maybe it's the size of her mouth? I don't know what it is but her design is just discomforting for some reason.
Can I tell you something, if Hamster and Gretel did really well with its episodes in its first season this year when it airs on Disney Channel during the summer, then maybe 🤔 Milo Murphy’s Law would get renewed for season 3 as well as a third Phineas and Ferb film 🎞 for Disney+ when it gets officiall, confirmed and greenlit once Dan and Swampy had to pitched to Disney what plot of the film 🎥 would be please.
I honestly just wish there was something more to attract me in the first scene, and honestly I wish Gretel’s character was different, idk why but I just don’t like how she looks
Gretel's stock facial expression triggers my anxiety. I don't think I'm gonna follow this show, but I do hope that they correct some of the mistakes they made.
I hope the show gets improved. I exactly agree with all your points in this video. This felt more like a concept, like a general idea of the show, more than a start of the episode. I love the crew and everyone who is working on this show but it definitely needs improvement
I really like Kevin. It felt like I experienced his dlsadness with him when he didn't get the powers. What's worse than not having powers? Not having powers when everyone else does! Like being a squib. I'd rather be a muggle. I really hope we get to ficus in him and see him struggle with it instead of just being all ambivalent or angsty about it, and see him develop in a realistic way. I like how you analyzed it from a "science fo story" perspective. I, too, was unimpressed, but plan to watch a few episodes before deciding it isn't worth watching.
the shows you mentioned revolved around plot and story, but dan’s shows are usually just meant for fun, so i dont think it really needs a perfectly constructed inciting incident
From the Teaser alone, Kevin might be MY Fave Character of that Show. AFTER watching The Pilot, I'm REALLY sure that He is :D What I didn't think would happen is in The Pilot, I'd get a 2nd Fave Character from that Show: Their cousin, Fred :)
Idk how to explain it but it just kinda feels like Dan and the team have been stuck in their own echo chambers for a while. Which to an extent is actually true I mean they still work from home 2 years later (which isn’t a bad thing, I mean look the man just got covid, it’s still around) Also I think Isa is the voice.
I would agree, it kind of reminds me of a kiddie show, it's just so empty. Honestly my favorite still is at 7:13 in this video because the seatbelt on the passenger side looks rumples and used. I thought I was enjoying it but I didn't really recognize any of the clips you used. I'm still excited for it though. Also, does Gretel's voice remind anyone of D.W from Arthur? I think Melissa did really well
It's going to be interesting to see how Dan can rebound and react to being a solo act creator now, and I think Hamster and Gretel will help him learn what his strengths and weaknesses are as a writer after being in a Duo with Swampy for so long. They're both good writers, don't get me wrong, but it seems like Dan and Swampy knew the Pitfalls of the other more than anyone else, so they'd help to course correct when one went too far. Hamster and Gretel doesn't have that Luxury, with Swampy not working on it with Dan, so it'll be interesting to see how Dan adapts without him around and whether he grows on his own, finds someone new to keep him grounded like Swampy did on Phineas and Milo, or crumbles under the pressure. My biggest worry is Dan getting the George Lucas treatment where everyone on the crew looks up to him or doesn't want to upset him to the extent they don't point out his mistakes and then those mistakes make it to air.
@@eftbro9963 Before is different than since. Dan has worked with Swampy consistently since 2005 (when the first P+F pilot was made.) His writing style has changed since then, and he's probably become at least somewhat reliant on Swampy, so it'll be interesting to see how he does it As for point two, most new people coming into work at Disney TVA are people who grew up on Dan's work, who probably do look up to him.
I like Hamster & Gretel; characters, visuals and all. The only glaring complaint I have is that the main overseas animation services for H&G is done by one of the worst overseas animation services: Snipple Animation Studios from The Philippines. I honestly would have settled for Wang Film Productions or Hong Ying Animation, both previously worked on Povenmire's previous show (that I also enjoy) Phineas & Ferb.
I don't like Gretel's incredibly wide smile. It's creepy. It looks especially weird since her talking mouth is much smaller, and so every time she starts or stops talking, it goes back and forth.
How come nobody has mentioned what happened to that kid after the pistachio monsters returned and went to seated in the Phineas and Ferb crossover I'll come nobody has made theories on his plant arm
I know this is a dumb thing to be worried about... but I want them to show proper care for the hamster. Because a lot of people think the stereotypical hamster cage is good enough for them, when it's actually animal abuse. Considering how much research and care this team usually does, it wouldn't be a stretch for them to easily outline proper hamster care in a fun an entertaining way or even just NOT explicitly show improper animal care. Parents are already buying kids hamsters and letting them die way too prematurely out of neglect and poor care, so I don't want kids begging for a hamster from watching this show and thinking it can be kept in a tiny cage like the one shown in the clip. Hamsters are among the most commonly abused animals and too many pieces of media normalize it rather than simply showing the characters taking proper care of their pets. Fingers crossed for that cage simply being a travel containter!
No offense but it’s just a show I mean I get where your coming from and all but seriously? Let’s hope people don’t but platypuses and keep them as pets too because a backyard is not a proper habitat for platypus. Who cares what the kids sees on tv it’s the parents that will provide responsible care anyways
@@themachine9000 it doesn't matter as a huge thing, but I think it's important, especially when a lot of people are still ignorant and think neglectful care styles are okay. It's okay if you don't care but considering how much work this specific team usually puts into fleshing things out it would be no effort at all for them to show proper basic care for their main characters pet. The difference between this and Perry is nobody CAN own a platypus unless they're super rich or can somehow go out and catch one. You can get a hamster very cheap at petsmart. It doesn't matter if they show something that is animal abuse if there is no way for the viewers to replicate it, but showing abuse that is not only easily replicatable but seen by many to be perfectly fine (despite having been disproven scientifically) that isn't responsible. In the end it doesn't matter much, but after the horrors I've seen animals go through over parents who buy their kids a pet just because it showed up on TV, the least they could do is in the same show make it clear to those kids what it actually looks like to show love to this animal.
Idk, it just feels like the less people care about these things, the more I have a responsibility to care. It should at least be mentioned once, if not by the show than by someone talking about it. Hamsters are brutally abused since they're so small and cheap. I think we need to work past that and media is one of the best ways to do that.
I looked up Kevin’s voice actor! His name is Noah Schnapp and his more notable roles are Will Byers in Stranger Things, and Charlie Brown in the Blue Sky Peanuts Movie!
"June 3, the first day of Phineas and Ferb's summer" I mean, technically no. Sure, that's what the theme song shows, but "Summer Belongs to You", which occurs on the Summer Solstice (June 21), occurs over halfway into summer vacation. Making the first day of summer vacation, at the latest, begin on April 29.
Kevin basically Candace and Gretel is Phineas and maybe Hamster is Ferb or Perry???? Maybe both? Guys we have to understand this is in the same universe as Phineas and Ferb and Milos Murphy. There's a reason why Hamster and Gretel show is like this. There is a reason why it's like this....
I'm just gonna say it, Snipple gets a LOT of undeserved hate. I rewatched Candace Against the Universe, and honestly the Snipple portion has kinda grown on me on rewatch. And I'm just gonna say it, the thick lineart complaint is not as big a deal as you made it out to be in your past videos. As for the Hamster and Gretel clip, I do have to say, I do like it a bit more han you did, but I do have my concerns. I don't think Snipple is as bad as you make it out to be when it comes to Dwampyverse stuff like Candace Against the Universe but while it's good, it feels rough. I actually liked Gretel's design a lot but Kevin is not good at all. You compared him to a background character for Milo Murphy's Law, but me personally, he felt like an early design of Jeremy from Phineas and Ferb. The CGI is honestly not that big a deal. Honestly, I think it's good and definently WAY better than the CGI in Milo. It deosn't feel like it sticks out whereas in Milo,......well, Hammasaur says otherwise. But I like the voice acting, I did find the humor in the clip funny and it's very colorful. But I'm not sold on this show yet, but considering that Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy's Law allunumni say that they love what they saw, I have a feeling that there's more to Hamster and Gretel that we don't know yet. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
So I've heard about this show for a while, but I wasn't really too keen on watching it until recently. I don't know why, but I kind of gave up the whole shtick of watching kid's shows in recent years, with Milo Murphy's Law being the last one (I still had a few kid's shows that I still kept around for a while after that one but they were on Nickelodeon). But maybe I will watch this just to say I have at least one kid's show around, and because I have been watching the "Daniverse" since its inception (I did take a break from P&F for a few years though). As someone who has watched a bunch of MML coverage since basically the start of this channel, I wanted to see your thoughts on it, and I went into this with an open mind. I think all of your criticisms are valid regarding the first look at the show. I also agree that Dan and the team are capable of doing great things, however they have kind of been stuck in "Phineas and Ferb Land" for the past 15 years. It seems like that's their real comfort zone. Even after P&F ended, they said that MML was in the same universe and they announced a crossover not even one year into the show's existence. And now we have another show that exists in the same universe. I'm not saying this as criticism, but they seem to use P&F as a crutch for a lot of things. MML Season 1 was so immersive, especially with the Pistachion arc, that you forget that it's a different show from Phineas and Ferb. Season 2 of MML introduced Doof as a side character, which makes me feel like they wanted to play safe with Season 2 by clinging to Phineas and Ferb as much as possible. There's also the fact that Season 2 started with a crossover of the 2 shows, which just backs up my point even further. But after the bad ratings Season 1 got (which wasn't even because of quality but because of choices made by executives), I can't really say I blame them too much. I think it would have been nice if we got a show that takes place in a different universe from the world of P&F, although I understand that it can be a risk. One thing that does have me hopeful for this show as far as longevity goes is that it's not starting its life on Disney XD like Milo Murphy's Law did. It's starting its life on Disney Channel like Phineas and Ferb did, but it's kind of baffling to me that most of the marketing is going towards live TV when streaming is the way to watch content nowadays. Yes, I am aware that it will be coming to Disney+ soon afterwards, but I thought that maybe it would be a Disney+ original. With all that being said, I am excited for the show. Maybe I will like it, maybe I won't like it. But I really hope that it does something different to separate itself from Phineas and Milo and doesn't use their existence as a crutch.
I think this all looks good, so long as the writing is good then it should be fine. I bet they had a smaller budget and who knows? In season 2 they can switch animation studios.
I don't know... considering the mess Mitchell Musso has been in since leaving Disney (outside of Phineas and Milo) it might not be him. Also, I know Mitchell Musso's voice fairly well and he doesn't sound like that at all.
@@victoriabell9546 never mind, the voice cast was announced a few days ago and even tough to me it really sounds like mitchel to me , Kevin is apperantly voiced by Michael cimino!
It’s very different from the other two shows but I hope it’s going to be good. It sucks that Swampy Marsh couldn’t have worked on this along with Dan. I understand Swampy wanted to adventure from other things but I think it’s better when both of them are working together.
I've seen all the episodes so far (sans 8, 9 and 10 since I don't have a TV provider), and they're off to a good start! The humor isn't as strong as in P&F or MML, but the first episode was a real banger, and there's been plenty to love from there on. But even if the humor isn't on point, the story is, I think, even with a "villain of the week" each mini-episode format. The relationship between the various characters adds richness to the show that is all too lacking in too many shows. It's funny, it's heartwarming, and it's fun.
Really not a fan of him casting his daughter as the main character. I’m just tired of people not really respecting voice acting as an art, and just handing out voice acting jobs. Normally you would have to do some smaller roles to land a role as a main character. I’m not saying she deserves to be bullied by the internet. Far from that. It’s just kind of disappointing to me. But then again, kids aren’t generally very good at voice acting any way, so maybe it wouldn’t have made a difference if they did cast another girl.
Kids can be good voice actors. They just usually have to have some acting roles (no matter what kind or how big they are) before getting a lead role. Case in point, Zach Callison was a preteen when he started voice acting, voicing Billy Batson in DC Showcase: Shazam Vs Black Adam and James for one and a half seasons of Sofia The First. This was all practice before he landed the title role of Steven Universe, where he did really well. Melissa Povenmire probably should've have had some minor roles in other stuff before she started voicing Gretel here.
Ever since he started promoting the show on TikTok, I’ve been iffy. Like as soon as he showed it, my first thought was “this is a joke concept, right?“ and now here we are. Honestly I’m kinda scared? I mean I’m with you, I know the crew has done amazing things, it’s just after Milo failed and I had faith in that, only for this to be the next big project, I feel not only underwhelmed but extremely concerned
What did you think of the Hamster and Gretel cold open? 🤔
I'd still like a season 3 of Milo Murphy's Law, but I'll still give the show a chance.
While weak, I think it did do its purpose. It gave us (somewhat of) an introduction of the characters. (Gretel the hyper and positive younger sibling, Kevin older, more negative, wants more with his life, Hamster. . . the hamster. With superpowers.) It gave the characters superpowers, one of the main aspects of the show.
I hope there's a couple flashback episodes to show how the characters felt and acted before they got superpowers, and I think there's a possibility that the crew might do what they did with Candace in CATU, which was giving a look into Candace's mental health as she was practically ignored while her brothers were everyone's focus. But this time, there would be multiple episodes instead of pushing it into 90 minutes.
It’s ok.
it's an acceptable sneak peak but the show still has to be released since this is not the real episode 1
I agree with pretty much everything you've said.
There just seems to be a massive disconnect between what's happening in the scene and how it's animated. This scene forms the scene that forms the foundation for the show's premise, but it's animated with a nonchalant tone like it's just a clip of background characters waiting around for the main character to kick off the story. The only way I can see this working right now is if the entire show heavily leans into everyone just being used to insane stuff happening. But MML already did that, and from what I've seen so far, it did it better.
I'm still going to watch it though. After all, it's made by Dan Povernmire, so I'm cautiously optimistic that it'll be good.
I think it would be interesting if Kevin was the main character, and the show being about him having to cope with a superhero sister and her superhero pet hamster. The cold open almost seems to suggest this, as it was mainly focused on him rather than Gretel.

The sneak peek is basically just an animated elevator pitch -- there's no defined character relationships, no definitive threat, I don't even know what Kevin's going to be doing if he isn't as insanely resentful as I imagine him to be over being snubbed by a hamster. Like ??? who knows...
I will say the Gretel smile stock frames are so eerie with her creepy smiles, hehe.
Aliens: exists
dan: 'I could milk you'
While I do agree with almost everything you said in this video, I'm still very interested in this show. It does seem like it was made for a younger audience, which could maybe explain the extremely fast pacing. Definetly agree with the aliens. I get it, Dan loves aliens, but you can't go back to them every time you need a plot device.
But the series comes from the same PnF universe, since that's where it was established, and one expects to know what more races or species exist, so it's not out of nowhere
I must admit the way it just appears and leaves is hilarious
@@falconslayer.a165 Yeah it makes sense to put another alien ship in the show because it's in the same universe as Phineas and Ferb so it makes sense for them to put a alien ship.
Anyone think that Kevin(?) and Grettle look like they were done in two different animation styles. While Kevin looks like a PaF character (and MML), Grettle looks almost like a Flash creation. That’s my only real complaint and every time I see them together, I just can’t help but feel like two different ‘people’ were working on the same shot. One group did Kevin while a completely different did Grettle. They both look similar, but the texture is drastically different to me.
My main issue with the animation is that Gretel’s design feels like it was drawn in MS Paint compared to her brother
You say these characters don't pass the silhouette test but i think milo murphy's characters don't either both series MCs look like background characters
I must admit, I actually really enjoyed this sneek preview of the series. While I do agree with some of your complaints here, like how a little more effort could have been put into the score do distinguish his show from its predecessors, and the animation is... much to be desired, I'm still looking forward to the show when it actually premieres.
I like how your profile pic says "TV-Y7".
What is seen there is not a fragment of the first episode, it is possibly a sneak peak, which I feel is an oversight so that we see the first true episode when it is released. But still I hope that on June 14 you can see some progress and details of the show. I know they will not disappoint Dan Povenmire and his crew
With Dan, there’s always potential. But after I loved Milo’s debut, H&G’s debut leaving a bad taste in my mouth is a bad sign.
I want to like this and of course I’m going to give it a chance. But it’s definitely not off to the best of starts
I feel that Dan can only make one type of show. If Disney is so keen on having dan keep making phineas and ferb clones then just renew more seasons of that show or do a sequel series.
Looks like they took your advice
@@dontcallmewave It's back.
I wonder if some of these flaws could be blamed by the absence of Swampy, I've been confused about this since the show was announced since him and Dan were always partners in crime.
It could be. Jeff Swampy Marsh seemed to be less involved in Milo Murphy's Law since he was showrunner for Pete The Cat (a preschool show that came out on Amazon Prime Video in late 2017). He's now currently showrunner for Hey AJ (an upcoming show for Disney Junior), and Dan isn't involved with that either.
I love this animated show it reminds me of the animated shows i grew up watching which were always comedy like SpongeBob The Loud house and Phineas and Ferb and since i also love superhero movies this is Definitely my favorite animated show and Gretel's my favorite character and apparently both Hamster and Gretel are indestructible since she mentions that she could be and Kevin says they shouldn't test it out and in sleepover with the enemy she gets crushed between a wall and a moving truck and the only thing that got damaged were the ketchup packets she had in her pockets
I know sometimes first episodes aren't great (except for Milo, that first episode rocked) So I'm hoping maybe the rest of the show will be good, and that it was just an unfortunate first clip to start us on. I really want to root for Dan and his team, as they're all super talented and obviously passionate about it, so it's best to not call the show itself bad until we get some full episodes to actually get a full taste of it. But yikes that first clip did not sell it for me.
it also seems like it might be aimed for a slightly younger audience, so maybe I'm just not close enough to the target demographic to enjoy it as much as I enjoyed Milo Murphy's Law.
Here's to hoping the villains are good though
I wonder if much like in Phineas and Ferb, Gretel's brother is the main character and I wonder if despite everything he cares for his sister and the hamster, to the point he (even if he doesn't want), ends helping them in their missions and without knowing he ends becoming a hero, despite he doesn't have powers, but he's very jaded to see that.
I actually really liked the intro for the show, and I'm super excited for it! Just from the first 2 minutes, I can tell that this show is going to be just as funny as Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy's Law. The main reasons I like those shows is not just for the story, but because they are super funny shows. And the first 2 minutes of Hamster and Gretel were really funny!
I agree
I'm so used to Dan's normal voice from watching all his tiktoks that it felt really jarring to hear him use his normal voice for the aliens. It just sounded like Dan povenmire was talking to me or making another tiktok
The animations looks a bit cheap and not on par with it predecessor Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy. I can see lasting for a season or two, until being cancelled during it second season.
It certainly doesn't look bad. No sure if I'm too interested, but there's undeniable potential.
A lot of the things that irked me in the sneak peek were things that could easily be improved as time went on. For me, it was mainly the pacing and the very little defining characteristics of the characters, but those are things that will most definately be expanded on as the show goes on.
@@tomatse1182 I mean as this video points out it’s not particularly fair to judge too harshly from a sneak peak.
@@jaohonaxa yeah, I know. I’m looking forewords to the full show and am definitely gonna watch it when it hits Disney plus, good or bad. The pacing just really threw me for a loop
I'm watching for Michael Cimino since I loved watching him on Love, Victor. He's voicing Kevin so that should be fun!
I had a lot of the same thoughts while watching the preview. The show seems like it will be fine, but that's it. Fine. Nothing offensively bad, but nothing memorable either
I don't think every show needs to be memorable as long as it's enjoyable, so it's not necessarily a bad thing, but I still walked away from the preview feeling pretty "meh"
(Also my personal bet is Dee Bradley Baker as the voice of hamster lol)
(If you're right):
Dee Bradley Baker: If I had a nickel for every time I was cast as a heroic pet in a Dan Povenmire show, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
The animation is giving me some Family Guy vibes with them just… standing there, delivering their lines.
Here's my opinion: I think all of us PnF/Milo fans have Alien fatigue. PnF had multiple episode plots with aliens, their latest movie was all about aliens, Milo's season 2 was all aliens, even old PnF movie ideas were about aliens. To me, it makes them feel less special.
I agree the animation and silhouette test aren't anything to write home about, but I'm hoping that was because they're using a lot of their budget (at least for that episode) on some big action scene or a cool fun B plot. Something that really sparks my interest! And side characters, a show is nothing without it's supporting cast. I want to love H&G just like I love PnF and Milo, I'm just worried it won't live up to the hype.
Apparently Kevin is voiced by Noah schnapp
He was in stranger things, the peanuts movie, and angry birds
@AG-13 Studios if I remember correctly it could be
Nah doesn't sound like him
@@giulioxp dude I looked it up
That and the peanuts movie came out back in like
2018
So obviously his voice would have changed
@@knightryder11 yeah but listen to his voice in stranger things 4 or in some recent interview, i don't think it's him
@@giulioxp well that's what I heard
Idk what to tell yah
I wasn't impressed with what I saw and then immediately forgot about it.
You explained a lot of the issues pretty well.
Oh my god I laughed so hard when you said how Gretel is literally oblivious like Phineas, life’s gotta be hard for her own secret admirer if you know what I mean
This show sounds like Dan’s doing this on a dare. It sounds so silly, I can’t even keep a straight face when I say the name.
Right? The whole alien sequence seems almost sarcastic.
I'm surprised magic and or mythology hasn't been used in any of the 3 shows to a big extent
I think with their mild reaction to the aliens is meant to be the joke. It is pretty funny how they just act so calm like it is normal.
The clip felt rushed.
They should had gone it slower like show more of the siblings doing stuff instead of telling show Kevin that he's looking for more in life. And instead of aliens giving them powers, why not an accident like from radiation.
Why does the theme song sound like that song that plays in that SpongeBob superhero episode
Yeah, that’s what it reminds me of! The Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy episodes!!
I feel like the main problem of this opening sene is the lack of reactions. The entire time, Kevin and Gretel just have the same emotions and reactions despite everything that happened. This tell us nothing about the characters, and nothing about how Gretel and Hamster’s superpowers will affect everyone. It also makes it seem like the whole “superpowers” incident is really insignificant, and/or just a regular occurrence.
I really don't like Gretel's design. Something about it feels so uncanny and odd. Maybe it's the size of her mouth? I don't know what it is but her design is just discomforting for some reason.
for me it's those blue eyes. They stare straight into my soul.
Can I tell you something, if Hamster and Gretel did really well with its episodes in its first season this year when it airs on Disney Channel during the summer, then maybe 🤔 Milo Murphy’s Law would get renewed for season 3 as well as a third Phineas and Ferb film 🎞 for Disney+ when it gets officiall, confirmed and greenlit once Dan and Swampy had to pitched to Disney what plot of the film 🎥 would be please.
I hope hamster and gretel will be a great show like phineas and ferb and there will be a crossover with phineas and ferb and milo murphy's law!
I honestly just wish there was something more to attract me in the first scene, and honestly I wish Gretel’s character was different, idk why but I just don’t like how she looks
it's just the sneak peak, not the first episode, and everything will have its reason and reason at the time
Her design is way too bright and simplistic compared to the surroundings.
He sounds like Zeno Robinson, more specifically like Remy from Big City Greens, but that's first impression after 10s of his voice.
Gretel's stock facial expression triggers my anxiety. I don't think I'm gonna follow this show, but I do hope that they correct some of the mistakes they made.
I hope Disney learned their lesson after last time and treat this one better, even if I don't end up liking it, no show deserves the Milo fate.
I hope you mean that Milo was soooo much better
@@octostar2410 don't worry, Milo Murphy's Law is my favorite show! I can see where my wording was a tad confusing
I hope the show gets improved. I exactly agree with all your points in this video. This felt more like a concept, like a general idea of the show, more than a start of the episode. I love the crew and everyone who is working on this show but it definitely needs improvement
I really like Kevin. It felt like I experienced his dlsadness with him when he didn't get the powers. What's worse than not having powers? Not having powers when everyone else does! Like being a squib. I'd rather be a muggle. I really hope we get to ficus in him and see him struggle with it instead of just being all ambivalent or angsty about it, and see him develop in a realistic way.
I like how you analyzed it from a "science fo story" perspective.
I, too, was unimpressed, but plan to watch a few episodes before deciding it isn't worth watching.
Kevin over here looking like the CTRL+ALT+DEL guy.
I'll watch it if one of the main characters is a hamster. I'm a fan of Hamtaro
the shows you mentioned revolved around plot and story, but dan’s shows are usually just meant for fun, so i dont think it really needs a perfectly constructed inciting incident
6:09 That's so easy to identify, it's obviously Jeremy Johnson!
Could you talk about Phineas and Ferb Marvel please make a review about it Especially because the hamster and Gretel thing is about superheroes
From the Teaser alone, Kevin might be MY Fave Character of that Show. AFTER watching The Pilot, I'm REALLY sure that He is :D
What I didn't think would happen is in The Pilot, I'd get a 2nd Fave Character from that Show: Their cousin, Fred :)
Idk how to explain it but it just kinda feels like Dan and the team have been stuck in their own echo chambers for a while. Which to an extent is actually true I mean they still work from home 2 years later (which isn’t a bad thing, I mean look the man just got covid, it’s still around)
Also I think Isa is the voice.
I would agree, it kind of reminds me of a kiddie show, it's just so empty. Honestly my favorite still is at 7:13 in this video because the seatbelt on the passenger side looks rumples and used. I thought I was enjoying it but I didn't really recognize any of the clips you used. I'm still excited for it though. Also, does Gretel's voice remind anyone of D.W from Arthur? I think Melissa did really well
It's going to be interesting to see how Dan can rebound and react to being a solo act creator now, and I think Hamster and Gretel will help him learn what his strengths and weaknesses are as a writer after being in a Duo with Swampy for so long. They're both good writers, don't get me wrong, but it seems like Dan and Swampy knew the Pitfalls of the other more than anyone else, so they'd help to course correct when one went too far. Hamster and Gretel doesn't have that Luxury, with Swampy not working on it with Dan, so it'll be interesting to see how Dan adapts without him around and whether he grows on his own, finds someone new to keep him grounded like Swampy did on Phineas and Milo, or crumbles under the pressure.
My biggest worry is Dan getting the George Lucas treatment where everyone on the crew looks up to him or doesn't want to upset him to the extent they don't point out his mistakes and then those mistakes make it to air.
I VERY much disagree. Dan has worked on many shows before Phineas and Ferb without swampy. And I am pretty sure no one will treat him like that
@@eftbro9963 Before is different than since. Dan has worked with Swampy consistently since 2005 (when the first P+F pilot was made.) His writing style has changed since then, and he's probably become at least somewhat reliant on Swampy, so it'll be interesting to see how he does it
As for point two, most new people coming into work at Disney TVA are people who grew up on Dan's work, who probably do look up to him.
It’s the man the legend the god he’s the man who made Phineas and Ferb
I like Hamster & Gretel; characters, visuals and all. The only glaring complaint I have is that the main overseas animation services for H&G is done by one of the worst overseas animation services: Snipple Animation Studios from The Philippines. I honestly would have settled for Wang Film Productions or Hong Ying Animation, both previously worked on Povenmire's previous show (that I also enjoy) Phineas & Ferb.
I don't like Gretel's incredibly wide smile. It's creepy. It looks especially weird since her talking mouth is much smaller, and so every time she starts or stops talking, it goes back and forth.
Kevin is apparently voiced by Michael Cimino, how was in Annabelle Comes Home and a bunch of other stuff I don't really care to mention.
kevin sounds a lot like jeremy from pnf, who was voiced by mitchel musso, in my opinion.
I am impressed with your ability to hear and recognize little bits of scores like that. Most people can't do that. Music student approves.
There's also an animation flaw when Kevin is driving
How come nobody has mentioned what happened to that kid after the pistachio monsters returned and went to seated in the Phineas and Ferb crossover I'll come nobody has made theories on his plant arm
Kevin Kidna resembles Jeremy with he's outfit from PHINEAS and ferb
My daughter asked why he was wearing a Mr. Slushy Dawg uniform.
@@MaySwenon lol OMG
4:54 to quote Candace
See I told you I’m not crazy I told you
I’ve literally been waiting for this video for 2 years 😂
But I want more Milo. 😕
Or to be more specific Cavendish and Dakota 😁
I would love to see an ultimate crossover movie where the entire Phineas and Ferb universe came together to fight an over arching threat
I know this is a dumb thing to be worried about... but I want them to show proper care for the hamster. Because a lot of people think the stereotypical hamster cage is good enough for them, when it's actually animal abuse. Considering how much research and care this team usually does, it wouldn't be a stretch for them to easily outline proper hamster care in a fun an entertaining way or even just NOT explicitly show improper animal care.
Parents are already buying kids hamsters and letting them die way too prematurely out of neglect and poor care, so I don't want kids begging for a hamster from watching this show and thinking it can be kept in a tiny cage like the one shown in the clip.
Hamsters are among the most commonly abused animals and too many pieces of media normalize it rather than simply showing the characters taking proper care of their pets.
Fingers crossed for that cage simply being a travel containter!
No offense but it’s just a show I mean I get where your coming from and all but seriously? Let’s hope people don’t but platypuses and keep them as pets too because a backyard is not a proper habitat for platypus. Who cares what the kids sees on tv it’s the parents that will provide responsible care anyways
@@themachine9000 it doesn't matter as a huge thing, but I think it's important, especially when a lot of people are still ignorant and think neglectful care styles are okay. It's okay if you don't care but considering how much work this specific team usually puts into fleshing things out it would be no effort at all for them to show proper basic care for their main characters pet.
The difference between this and Perry is nobody CAN own a platypus unless they're super rich or can somehow go out and catch one. You can get a hamster very cheap at petsmart. It doesn't matter if they show something that is animal abuse if there is no way for the viewers to replicate it, but showing abuse that is not only easily replicatable but seen by many to be perfectly fine (despite having been disproven scientifically) that isn't responsible.
In the end it doesn't matter much, but after the horrors I've seen animals go through over parents who buy their kids a pet just because it showed up on TV, the least they could do is in the same show make it clear to those kids what it actually looks like to show love to this animal.
Idk, it just feels like the less people care about these things, the more I have a responsibility to care. It should at least be mentioned once, if not by the show than by someone talking about it.
Hamsters are brutally abused since they're so small and cheap. I think we need to work past that and media is one of the best ways to do that.
Hamster is Beck Bennet aka Launchpad in Duck Tales
This looks like it would be one of those animated shows that play on the TV's in GTA V
i really hope this is just first episode weirdness like the last two shows
I looked up Kevin’s voice actor! His name is Noah Schnapp and his more notable roles are Will Byers in Stranger Things, and Charlie Brown in the Blue Sky Peanuts Movie!
Norm is the Mastermind
Kevin is my favourite character. He’s just an awesome guy.
HI KEVIN
Your commen was 7 hours ago but this video was made 1 minute ago
"June 3, the first day of Phineas and Ferb's summer"
I mean, technically no. Sure, that's what the theme song shows, but "Summer Belongs to You", which occurs on the Summer Solstice (June 21), occurs over halfway into summer vacation. Making the first day of summer vacation, at the latest, begin on April 29.
Thanks! {I was kinda hoping that this was a free Episode 1.}
I love ❤️ Milo Murphy’s Law just as mush as you do 2nd Demotion!
(I wait for you to post again so that I could tell you this…)
7:30 Hamster can totally agree.
I'm sure this show will get better over time within it's first season
I think the mundanity of getting their powers might be on purpose, since the how is not as important as the part where they have these powers now.
Yeah that's my thought, I feel like this is supposed to be a footnote
Kevin basically Candace and Gretel is Phineas and maybe Hamster is Ferb or Perry???? Maybe both? Guys we have to understand this is in the same universe as Phineas and Ferb and Milos Murphy. There's a reason why Hamster and Gretel show is like this. There is a reason why it's like this....
I didn’t notice a lot of the stuff you said but I did notice the weird animation on the characters
How will we know it isn't going to end up like Milo Murphy's Law?
I'm just gonna say it, Snipple gets a LOT of undeserved hate.
I rewatched Candace Against the Universe, and honestly the Snipple portion has kinda grown on me on rewatch. And I'm just gonna say it, the thick lineart complaint is not as big a deal as you made it out to be in your past videos.
As for the Hamster and Gretel clip, I do have to say, I do like it a bit more han you did, but I do have my concerns. I don't think Snipple is as bad as you make it out to be when it comes to Dwampyverse stuff like Candace Against the Universe but while it's good, it feels rough.
I actually liked Gretel's design a lot but Kevin is not good at all. You compared him to a background character for Milo Murphy's Law, but me personally, he felt like an early design of Jeremy from Phineas and Ferb.
The CGI is honestly not that big a deal. Honestly, I think it's good and definently WAY better than the CGI in Milo. It deosn't feel like it sticks out whereas in Milo,......well, Hammasaur says otherwise.
But I like the voice acting, I did find the humor in the clip funny and it's very colorful. But I'm not sold on this show yet, but considering that Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy's Law allunumni say that they love what they saw, I have a feeling that there's more to Hamster and Gretel that we don't know yet. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Wait it has a trailer?!
Excuse me for a second
I saw it
Ok have you ever seen Greats American Hero? It's an 80's tv show where some guy gets super powers from aliens in the open credits?
So I've heard about this show for a while, but I wasn't really too keen on watching it until recently. I don't know why, but I kind of gave up the whole shtick of watching kid's shows in recent years, with Milo Murphy's Law being the last one (I still had a few kid's shows that I still kept around for a while after that one but they were on Nickelodeon). But maybe I will watch this just to say I have at least one kid's show around, and because I have been watching the "Daniverse" since its inception (I did take a break from P&F for a few years though). As someone who has watched a bunch of MML coverage since basically the start of this channel, I wanted to see your thoughts on it, and I went into this with an open mind. I think all of your criticisms are valid regarding the first look at the show.
I also agree that Dan and the team are capable of doing great things, however they have kind of been stuck in "Phineas and Ferb Land" for the past 15 years. It seems like that's their real comfort zone. Even after P&F ended, they said that MML was in the same universe and they announced a crossover not even one year into the show's existence. And now we have another show that exists in the same universe. I'm not saying this as criticism, but they seem to use P&F as a crutch for a lot of things. MML Season 1 was so immersive, especially with the Pistachion arc, that you forget that it's a different show from Phineas and Ferb. Season 2 of MML introduced Doof as a side character, which makes me feel like they wanted to play safe with Season 2 by clinging to Phineas and Ferb as much as possible. There's also the fact that Season 2 started with a crossover of the 2 shows, which just backs up my point even further. But after the bad ratings Season 1 got (which wasn't even because of quality but because of choices made by executives), I can't really say I blame them too much. I think it would have been nice if we got a show that takes place in a different universe from the world of P&F, although I understand that it can be a risk.
One thing that does have me hopeful for this show as far as longevity goes is that it's not starting its life on Disney XD like Milo Murphy's Law did. It's starting its life on Disney Channel like Phineas and Ferb did, but it's kind of baffling to me that most of the marketing is going towards live TV when streaming is the way to watch content nowadays. Yes, I am aware that it will be coming to Disney+ soon afterwards, but I thought that maybe it would be a Disney+ original.
With all that being said, I am excited for the show. Maybe I will like it, maybe I won't like it. But I really hope that it does something different to separate itself from Phineas and Milo and doesn't use their existence as a crutch.
I know this is bit of a cop-out explanation, but the reason the animation looks like that could be because it's a teaser. Maybe who knows, we'll see.
When is it going to be available on Disney plus?
I think this all looks good, so long as the writing is good then it should be fine.
I bet they had a smaller budget and who knows? In season 2 they can switch animation studios.
I'm 99% sure kevins VA is mitchel musso! (Jeremys voice actor)
I don't know... considering the mess Mitchell Musso has been in since leaving Disney (outside of Phineas and Milo) it might not be him. Also, I know Mitchell Musso's voice fairly well and he doesn't sound like that at all.
@@victoriabell9546 never mind, the voice cast was announced a few days ago and even tough to me it really sounds like mitchel to me , Kevin is apperantly voiced by Michael cimino!
It’s very different from the other two shows but I hope it’s going to be good. It sucks that Swampy Marsh couldn’t have worked on this along with Dan. I understand Swampy wanted to adventure from other things but I think it’s better when both of them are working together.
Not really
Kevin looks like slider from Cyberchase.
I get the feeling that this show was probably inspired by Greatest American Hero, as that was also a show about aliens giving someone superpowers.
I've seen all the episodes so far (sans 8, 9 and 10 since I don't have a TV provider), and they're off to a good start! The humor isn't as strong as in P&F or MML, but the first episode was a real banger, and there's been plenty to love from there on. But even if the humor isn't on point, the story is, I think, even with a "villain of the week" each mini-episode format. The relationship between the various characters adds richness to the show that is all too lacking in too many shows. It's funny, it's heartwarming, and it's fun.
I am hoping that this sneak Peak was edited like super hero trailers.
Really not a fan of him casting his daughter as the main character. I’m just tired of people not really respecting voice acting as an art, and just handing out voice acting jobs. Normally you would have to do some smaller roles to land a role as a main character.
I’m not saying she deserves to be bullied by the internet. Far from that. It’s just kind of disappointing to me. But then again, kids aren’t generally very good at voice acting any way, so maybe it wouldn’t have made a difference if they did cast another girl.
Kids can be good voice actors. They just usually have to have some acting roles (no matter what kind or how big they are) before getting a lead role. Case in point, Zach Callison was a preteen when he started voice acting, voicing Billy Batson in DC Showcase: Shazam Vs Black Adam and James for one and a half seasons of Sofia The First. This was all practice before he landed the title role of Steven Universe, where he did really well. Melissa Povenmire probably should've have had some minor roles in other stuff before she started voicing Gretel here.
Ever since he started promoting the show on TikTok, I’ve been iffy. Like as soon as he showed it, my first thought was “this is a joke concept, right?“ and now here we are. Honestly I’m kinda scared? I mean I’m with you, I know the crew has done amazing things, it’s just after Milo failed and I had faith in that, only for this to be the next big project, I feel not only underwhelmed but extremely concerned
I still have hope in Milo
@@octostar2410 the show was cancelled
