Steps in a good direction
You've really pulled Whookos out, Scoot. This episode was better in nearly every aspect.
Art Style: 6/10: The cartoony look is interesting. You do a good job of making the characters expressive and diverse-looking. Very good stuff. However:
Aargh, Tweening, my arch-nemesis, strikes again. It doesn't really fit usually in this series. I've harped on it enough, so I'll leave it at that.
The backgrounds were extremely "blah." there was an over-abundance of stock-gradients and a lot of gray. Like I said in the A.E. review, some photoshop-drawn backdrops would make it feel a lot more cartoony and diverse than doing everything with straight lines and gradients do. For instance, the boxes in the storage room. There was no need for them to be gradients and made with the line tool. They felt weird, maybe because of the way they were stacked, but I feel hand-drawn would have been a better way to go.
Story: 8/10: this is where Whookos got its higher score from. This was not a cliche "Karate Kid" trope, like the original. It felt like it fit together better. I actually laughed out loud at parts, like the "Dress-ER!" gag. The scottish grandpa seemed very random, but it worked well. I still don't know exactly what on earth the objective of pushing off the ceiling was, if it WASN'T to break it, but heck with it, it was funny. Your sense of comedic timing was much, much better this time around.
Sound: 7/10: Sound isn't exactly as detremental here as it is in A.E. and as such, it works much better here than it does in A.E. You made a good choice with Less Than Jake as your soundtrack (I've always been more of a Five Iron Frenzy guy for my Sca, but hey, to each their own :3) as it fits well. The sound effects were simple, but effective as well.
Voices. It was a mixed bag this time around. For one, Rat and Swiffer sounded almost exactly the same this time, especially in the first bathroom scene. It would have helped if it was a little more diverse. The voice acting was still extremely stiff here, but I did hear some improvement overall. The girls did a good job. I can't stress this enough, though: invest some more time into vocal inflection; this applies to everyone. It's a simple but effective way to increase the quality of these episodes by an enormous amount.
Overall: 8/10: Steps in a good direction, especially where the story was concerned. It's more the mechanics of the flash that pulled it down this time. This series has more potential than I expected from the first one, so keep it up!
