This new special of the Disney Channel/Disney+ cartoon Kiff is a Lord of the Rings parody in which young squirrel Kiff (voiced by Orange Is the New Black’s Kimiko Glenn) and her friends go on a quest to destroy a cursed ring light.
LoTR parodies have been done before, but I’ll give the lack of originality a pass as this is really, really funny. The jokes are clever and all land. What helps make this special work is that it mines some material from aspects of the LOTR trilogy that others haven’t before. (One of the highlights of this is Kiff's best friend Barry's questioning, matter-of-fact commentary on elements from LoTR).
This utilizes a large portion of the show's wacky characters that the writers have defined. The voice actors are all great and really nail their lines.
Highly recommended. This is just a really funny time.
