Looks good, but I'm a little disappointed it's a musical. I hate musicals lol. Bob's Burgers always has done a lot of good jingles though.

This looks freaking amazing. This might just be the best Apple TV+ original. This could be Apple's Game of Thrones must watch show. Wow. The comedy is perfectly on point. There is a heartwarming story. The animation is truly beautiful and endearing. The cast and actors are all top notch.

I cannot friggin wait until May!!!!! WOOOOOOHOOOO!!! Good job Apple!!


(Also. good job Apple on hiring a better trailer producer. The one for Mythic Quest looked horrible and deflated expectations. This one actually makes the comedy pop brilliantly).
Finally someone who agrees with me about the rubbish trailers. Same happened with the morning show.

This looks pretty good and funny! I'd watch and am actually looking forward to watching. An AppleTV+ first

This looks really really really good! I had no expectation whatsoever to watch a "cartoon musical" but the jokes and voice talent are top notch. I can see this becoming really big, the kind of culturally ingrained TV show AppleTV hasn't yet managed to pull out of its hat (though Amazing Stories has a lot of potential to be that).

isn't the trailer supposed to make you want to like the show? This looks awful...

I'm getting a strong Bob's Burgers vibe from this. Of course, I couldn't get into that show and I don't expect I'll like this one, either, but since Bob's Burgers found an audience, I imagine this one might, too.

The problem is, I don't think Kristen Bell and Josh Gad have much experience with musical, animated features ...
I’ll always think of Bell as Lucy Stillman.

Maybe he means like the parental guidelines type ratings, like TV-14 ... [?]
Do those TV ratings mean anything or are they like the movie ratings?

It looks like there's a decent amount of non-musical dialog / narrative, it's more, umm, musically intensive :D (Plus, as a musical I guess it has the conceit that people bust out into song with music coming from somewhere ...)

Probably, I know if their existence, but pay no mind to them :) Though we do chuckle when something is TV-MA DSLV, "Hey, excellent, this has all my favorites!"

Josh Gad is awful in Avenue 5, which is also awful.
Avenue 5 is in Avenue 5. That show is a garbage dumpster fire. I tried it but am currently hate watching it. Josh Gad is doing a great job in the role assigned to him in that show (his role as an unlikeable douche and caricature of a famous person in the news). The only good thing about that show is the ever-delightful Hugh Laurie.
