Review of South Park: Imaginationland

Let me start by saying that I watched the three episodes and not this movie that the episodes were edited into. So if they added something later on, then I cannot comment on that simply because I have not seen it. The runtime is slightly over an hour as it is basically three regular South Park episodes taken together. If you look at my title of this review, you will need to understand that I am referring to fantastic in the sense of fantasy, but not in the sense of greatness. This one here is so packed with characters and references from all kinds of literary and film works, which certainly makes it special and different from the usual South Park stuff. And the story about Parker and Stone creating a new world is something new as well. There were parts that I did not find too impressive, but overall it is working well I guess. Nonetheless, I must say the real star in here was not Butters who plays a more important role than usual, but Cartman once again, who is on his very own mission and is totally hilarious as always. In the end, his story and the one about Imaginationland find the common link, which resulted in good closure too. I believe South Park is a great show and has been for a long time. "Imaginationland" is just another fine example of that and it makes me wish for them to make more multi-part episodes. I recommend the watch.
