I liked it, but I expected much more.
Co-sign w/ the voices, particularly Huey's
I imagined it being a raspy little-kid's voice, not crystal-clear girlish like Regina King's
Works for Riley better in my view, since he's younger
I think it could've been much more effective in introducing the characters... Or at least the characters I've come to get used to in the strip. I could've sworn the first episode would be about them actually getting to Granddad's neighborhood and settling in, like the first series of comics. I also thought I'd see some of the other characters from the strip... The way this started off though, it seems like the cartoon will be an offshoot, a different form of the strip, not a continuation, which is what I hoped for.
I think more than anything though, I expected more from the animation... Couldn't it be smoother? The way they pac-man through their dialogue, opening and closing their mouths, and their movements... It irked me a little.
I'ma keep watching it regardless, out of curiosity and loyalty to the Boondocks branding... But I will say this: this first episode didn't make me laugh once. Only some half-smiles. My girl, who's also an avid fan of the strip, fell asleep halfway.
Here's to it getting better.
