Hamster & Gretel (2022– )
1/10
Wow..This is Gretel

Warning: Spoilers
Gretel is now what i call garbage. It's that bad.

Character: Gretel: Horrible design for a character. Cheap looking and why doesn't she have eyebrows? It's very jarring to look at this character with her dead soulless stare. The voice of character is flat and emotionless. Most lines are read in the same tone and delivery. Her character is awful. I hate when you have a protagonist who learns nothing and refuses to take advice from others. Kevin has good intentions but she just ignores him since it's "too complicated" or "boring". She not entertaining for this character type. Disney has done better with Luz, Star, Molly, and Webby.

Fred: Fred is one of the best characters in the show but the lips look so weird. They look like Tamagochi duck. They move so unnaturally. Then there's her glasses which looks like a mask but not really sure since it feels like an in between from shot to shot. If it's glasses they need to color in the eyes better to make it look like a lens. Other than that, her character is pretty good with her voice actress providing a good performance.

Kevin: His design is okay but it's a plain looking compared to other characters we've seen from Disney Channel shows and shows that this team has worked on, Phineas and Ferb & Milo Murphy's Law. He looks like a background character or an OC someone made. However, while his design doesn't stand out as much his character does. He's probably the most relatable character I've seen in these Disney shows. His voice actor does a good job. Makes Gretel sound worse by comparison. He has Gretel's best interest in mind and doesn't want her to get hurt and gives her good advice but then gets punished for it?

Hamster: Forgettable Villains: Why are his arms so short? Is that on purpose or is that an animation error? Voiced by Phil Lamar, who deserved better, does a pretty good job as always but he can't save a terrible script and bad writing.

Based on the other villains we've seen this show has a terrible batch.

Story: So let's get this straight, Aliens give a girl and a hamster superpowers for no reason and then at the end give two other people powers to be super villains for no reason as well. I guess they're bored or something. Lazy. Kevin's romance subplot is weak and plays off like many others bringing nothing new to the table.

Animation: Anytime you pause the show you'll notice many errors and mistakes in the art and animation. It would take me hours to break down all of them but trust me there's a lot of animation errors.

Sound: The songs are forgettable since they sound like the generic PnF style of music and those songs are terrible. I wouldn't be so negative towards it but they put songs in the majority of episodes so it awful. The voice acting for Gretel and her friend Bailey are so bad.
