Rocko\u2019s Modern Life: Static Cling \/ Netflix \/ 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After months of waiting and waiting, on August 9, 2019, Rocko\u2019s Modern Life fans were finally gifted with a new Netflix movie. This is the first Rocko production since its ending in the mid-\u201990s. With little information about the special revealed in the preview, this was worth the wait to see what this story about constant change entailed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This special was like it only came out a year or two after the last ep of the original series. The art style was definitely true to the old show. The caliber is that of a season 4 episode (a good season). Heck, it\u2019s like an old ep only if HD was standard in \u201896 or \u201897. The voice actors were absolutely on point with their character voices. This was a special that transports us back to the \u201890s with a story exceptionally adapted to the happenings of our modern society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not to give out spoilers but one \u201890s Nick reference in the movie that stood out to me was an orange Fatheads VHS tape. Nickelodeon used to produce their VHS releases in the \u201890s with orange tapes. I think that\u2019s really cool and unique that they did that. They stopped the practice with their later VHS releases.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Similar to Hey Arnold: The Jungle Movie (read review here<\/a>), there were numerous call-backs to past episodes. If you\u2019ve seen and remember these original eps, these references will make sense. It definitely helped me to watch the old Rocko eps earlier this year<\/a> to catch and better understand these allusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the theme of change being all around us, I recommend this movie for all Rocko fans (present and future (those just joining the fandom)). With the show name of \u201cRocko\u2019s Modern Life,\u201d this franchise can definitely poke fun of many cultures through time whether the \u201cmodern life\u201d is in the \u201890s with VCRs or the \u201800s and \u201810s with YouTube and Smartphones. It all stays fresh! Because of the phenomenal effort of successfully integrating a well-loved \u201890s Nicktoon into our tech-filled decade, 5 stars<\/span> <\/strong>go to Rocko, Heffer, and Filburt who learn change is the key to fresh ideas, innovations, and tomorrows. This special is only available on Netflix. Watch this next time you log on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Posted 25 August 2019 Rocko\u2019s Modern Life: Static Cling \/ Netflix \/ 2019 Yes, FINALLY!
