Season 2 of this stop-motion show on Hulu continues the crazy misadventures of squire Percy (voiced by Nicholas Holt) as he has to deal with the selfishness of King Merriman (Lukie Evans) and generally everyone around him.
This season really carries on smoothly from the last one with consistently funny jokes. The writers come up with a lot of creative scenarios to toss Patrick into.
The lead's three siblings' roles have been cut down. They still appear regularly throughout, just not as much. I'm fine with that as the writers seem to realize the real strength of the show: Patrick's interactions with those directly involved in the royal court.
I'm amazed at the amount of talented people they got to voice the characters in this. I really can't believe that's Evans doing Merriman's voice; doesn't sound at all like him, and it's fun to see that Evans was completely game for something so low-brow.
I'm amazed with the stop-motion. Yeah, the fact that they use Fisher Price figuresque characters makes it easier to do character animation, but since they don't have arms, anything they're holding has to be suspended in air. Not to mention the amount of jumping and stuff the characters have to do. Suspending things in the air (or at least giving the illusion of) must take a lot of work.
Recommended. I had a lot of fun with this season.
