5/10.Blue Racer snake control and removal should only be handled by a professional snake removal and control company, you can find a company by first selecting your state on the left then the closest city. Hence the 5/10 rather than the 4 that it nearly was (was very conflicted on which of the two to give it). In conclusion, didn't do it for me on the whole with two exceptions. He was at his best when in crafty mode and not when he is made too sympathetic by being treated too cruelly. Blue Racer himself has always left me mixed, he was bland to begin with but grew in personality but towards the end he had not varied or evolved all that much. The stories are always predictable and can be repetitive, 'Little Boa Peep' also made the mistake of taking a promising concept and making too much of the action excessively silly to in need of suspension of disbelief effect. Too many of the gags are stale retreads of tried and tested gags and some of them are mean-spirited (i.e.
The beetle's is embarrassing whenever it is understandable.
The dialogue has moments, but can be too perfunctory and lacking in wit. Resulting in too many not so vibrant colours, rushed looking drawing and incomplete looking backgrounds. Did like some of the animation, but despite being abstract deliberately this is taken to extremes often that it becomes simplistic. Worst of all, and perhaps the nadir of the series, is the character of the beetle, supremely irritating and offensive and basically a beetle version of Mickey Rooney's character in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'). Most of the characters are poorly done, being either bland (Crazylegs and even Blue Racer to begin with), annoying (Blue Racer's love interest in 'The Boa Friend', the baby rooster in 'Fowl Play') or stereotpical (the leprechauns in 'Killarney Blarney'). Quite a lot of the voice acting is not good, either being ill-fitting (Mann as Crazylegs Crane where he sounds too goofy and oafish for a character meant to be crafty) or stereotypical (especially Tom Holland for the beetle, with a thick, broad accent that made some of his dialogue incomprehensible, Paul Winchell as the leprechauns in 'Killarney Blarney' also doesn't fare well). Larry D Mann does a good job as Blue Racer once he settled, it took a couple of cartoons to do so but when he did he did just fine. A few of the supporting characters are good, especially the bear in 'Freeze a Jolly Good Fellow' and the John Wayne-sounding father rooster in 'Fowl Play'.
#Blue racer series
There are a few amusing sequences in the series too, such as the ending in 'Freeze a Jolly Good Fellow'. As well as 'Support Your Local Serpent's' flytrap exchange. Writing has amusing moments with The Blue Racer, and the best non-Blue Racer lines come from the father rooster in 'Fowl Play' ("noone asked for your two cents mister") and Crazylegs Crane in 'Aches and Snakes' (the dirty work at the crossroads line). Very catchy theme tune accompanied by a nice titles sequence.
#Blue racer full
Very upbeat in a jazzy way and full of rhythmic character. Doug Goodwin's music is the best thing about all the Blue Racer cartoons. It does have some nice colours and the Blue Racer had some clever character animation and reactions (with 'Support Your Local Serpent' and 'Freeze a Jolly Good Fellow'), but most of the time it was flatly coloured, rushed looking in drawing and the abstractness of the backgrounds was taken to extremes. Haven't seen The Dogfather or Misterjaw cartoons in a while, so can't say yet what categories they fit in. Whereas the Tijuana Toads series had two a little above average cartoons and the other cartoons being mediocre and all the Crazylegs Crane cartoons were pretty much misfires. The other being 'Freeze a Jolly Good Fellow', the best of the series. Most of the series was lacklustre, with nearly all the cartoons ranging between 4 and 5, but there were two pleasant surprises that were pretty decent. The Blue Racer series is probably the least bad of those three. A few didn't work for me, those being Tijuana Toads, Blue Racer and especially Crazylegs Crane. A couple were middling, such as Roland and Rattfink and Sheriff Hoot Kloot, the latter being more variable. They did some good ones, with their best being Pink Panther closely followed by The Inspector and the Ant and the Aardvark which were great at their best. DePatie-Freleng Enterprises really did vary when it came to their various theatrical series.
