I have been watching “Bob’s Burger’s” for so long now, I was really looking forward to seeing this movie when I watched it’s trailer last year.
This movie is an Adult Animation/Comedy/Musical/Family. We meet almost all the characters of the tv-series again. This movie was released on May 27th 2022. It was directed and written by Louren Bouchard (“Bob’s Butger’s”). It starrs Nick Kroll ( Netflix’s “Big Mouth”), Harry Jon Benjamin (“Bob’s Burgers), Kristen Schaal (Netflix’s “Big Mouth”), Dan Mintz (“Bob’s Burgers”) and John Roberts (“Archer”), just to name a few.
Onto the premise: The story begins when a ruptured water main creates an enormous sinkhole right in front of Bob’s Burgers, blocking the entrance indefinitely and ruining the Belchers’ plans for a successful summer. While Bob and Linda struggle to keep the business afloat, the kids try to solve a mystery that could save their family’s restaurant. As the dangers mount, these underdogs help each other find hope and fight to get back behind the counter, where they belong.
The Bob’s Burgers Movie is an adaptation of one of my favorite TV shows of all time, I was curious and interested to see how they would bring this to the big screen, and it paid off, this movie was a great adaptation of an iconic TV series.
The Bob’s Burgers Movie has a wonderful and very interesting plot and it’s built like a crime thriller put in a musical comedy, these 4 things blended perfectly with each other and it has surprisingly good musical numbers, that was a fresh new idea and I loved it, this movie is hilarious while also being very suspenseful at times, with high stakes and upgraded animation, and some of the most suspenseful scenes I’ve seen in years.
The film does a great job of welcoming newcomers into the world of Bob’s Burgers while also delighting fans with an endless cavalcade of one-liners. It’s joyous to see the same world that we’ve watched for twelve seasons but told with a film budget, with some absolutely lovely shots that are only possible with more money for the animation.
Hardcore fans expecting this to be 90 minutes of material for us may well be disappointed. Several notable recurring characters don’t appear, or are reduced to cameos, and a couple of members of the family don’t get strong plots in themselves, being largely comic relief. But I’m rather okay with this. (Of course it was a little disappointing in the moment, but I’ve made my peace with it.) The movie will hopefully bring newcomers to our little show, and I would much rather a strong story than a continuity festival. We have twelve seasons of that already, people! (And the film is strong; I was in a theatre with only a small number of audience members and it still flew by.)
What makes the movie work so well is that the writers have not fallen prey to the great temptation for “movies based on the popular TV series”. This isn’t “the gang wins a trip to Japan!” or “the gang teleport back to Ancient Egypt!” or “Linda becomes world famous as a shampoo commercial spokeswoman!” This is a story that could very easily have been told in a Bob’s Burgers episode, but given the room to breathe. By centering almost entirely around existing characters, and taking place entirely within recognisable landmarks, we’re given the gift of a truly Bob’s Burgers experience. Never once does this film try to be anything other than the show we know and love.
The Bob’s Burgers Movie meets expectations. It’s funny, purposeful, and developed enough to maintain investment. Fundamentally, it’s a murder mystery, but also intertwines Bob’s money issues (which is the emotional force). Plus, Louise is intrinsically motivated to prove her bravery, making her the main protagonist and giving her the clearest arc. Bob’s Burgers doesn’t have the tightest crafted humor, but these dynamic characters help it connect emotionally. The film is still lighthearted and silly (with skilled setup and payoff), but it peppers in enough drama to create substance. Thus, Bob’s Burgers succeeds because it delivers a sincere combination of laughs and relatability.
Technically, Bob’s Burgers is proficient. Surprisingly, there are musical numbers that heighten the soundtrack, cinematography, editing, and direction. There is dramatic lighting, framing, and camerawork. Also, passing cuts, smash cuts, and time lapses help the comedic rhythm. Furthermore, voice acting is ranged, animation is personal, and CGI is supportive. Punchlines are heightened by exaggerated music, transitions, and surrealism. Overall, the filmmaking reinforces the humorous mood. It isn’t high art, but it possesses consistent craft. Therefore, Bob’s Burgers is a fairly enjoyable experience. Viewers should expect skilled comedy and decent emotions.
There were certain things which were too close to home for me, but overall I really liked this movie. Therefore it is “worth a watch”!
Did you know? that the eleventh season of the show and the movie were in production back to back.
The 20th Century Studios logo anthem is interrupted halfway thru and instead played on a ukulele much like the TV show’s opening theme, accompanied by Gene’s megaphone sound effects.
The food cart Teddy builds is labeled “Bob Burgers,” a reference to Bob’s Burgers: O.T.: The Outside Toilet (2013) where Teddy thinks Bob’s last name is “Burgers.”
This is Dale Baer’s final animation work before his death. The film is dedicated to his memory.
The first trailer shares the same music as the first trailer for “The Simpsons” Movie. It was also used in a trailer for “South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut”, as well as the second trailer for “The Boss Baby”
.Marks the first time we ever see Bob’s mother.
The premise of the film is the same as the Season 4 finale, “Wharf Horse (or How Bob Saves/Destroys the Town).” Both feature a member of the Fischoeder family wanting to gentrify Ocean Avenue and needing to destroy Wonder Wharf against Calvin’s wishes, and the climax of both involves trapping Mr. Fischoeder and the Belchers under the wharf to kill them as part of the final step of the plot.
There are four original songs in the film, an element carried over from the series having original songs every once in a while. However, one of the songs from the film does not appear on the soundtrack album due to involving an important plot point of revealing Grover as the murderer.
