Uh, spoilers I guess?
Sorry to disappoint you, but if the first 10 minutes are any indication, then cartoony sound effects are going to be used a lot in this film. It does sound out of place, but I thought it was quite funny that they decided to use them. Plus, compared to the rest of the film, the sound effects are really a small thing. They're there, but it's really not something to be upset about. The film itself looks like a huge step up from the last film, the animation is pretty good for a direct-to-DVD movie, and for me there were more 'feels' in the opening narration alone than from most other LBT movies - which is certainly a big plus.
Wild Arms is one thing I'm still unsure about, as he does seem almost as crazy as the yellowbellies, but I don't really mind since it looks like he's not going with the gang and so won't be an in-your-face-all-the-time character like the yellowbellies were. With this being the first LBT film in 8 years, and with a completely different set of people working on it, we have to expect a few changes. Some we'll like and some we won't, but we just gotta roll with it. I'm just happy that we're getting something else to end the series on that isn't Wisdom of Friends, and I can safely say that JOTB is already a big improvement on that. Also, those that have started posting reviews of JOTB have said some good things so far, so I'm keeping my hopes up.
Anyways, I have some good-ish news. My phone still had a tab up of the webpage from yesterday that hosted the clips, and I managed to get the 10 minute preview to work again! I have managed to record it... unfortunately since it was on my phone I had to use my camcorder, so the quality isn't the best and there's a lot of camera-shake because the camcorder kept slipping and I was holding my phone up (I'm not the professional recording type
). But if you guys wanna see it, I'll see what I can do about uploading it.
