Blu-ray Review: Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy - Page 3

Conclusion

Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy completely skips the most important word in that whole title: comedy. As an hour of your life, it is aggressively not funny for much of its fifty-four minutes, with only minor blips of humor to give you false hope. Which is a shame, because there is a lot to like with the irreverent and fast-paced style of MacFarlane's FOX shows, Family Guy and American Dad!. Unfortunately, this release takes the rejected dregs from those shows and tries to tie them together into an Internet/direct-to-disc product.

As a Blu-ray, it's a waste of the format. There is nothing high-definition - from a practical standpoint - to either the picture or audio, as well as no compelling bonus content. If you're a MacFarlane die-hard, you would be advised to leave this to a rental. Only the most devoted of completists should worry with a purchase, and even then you might as well save a few bucks and go for the DVD, as there is no discernible upgrade in quality with the Blu-ray.
