Something To Watch - Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss
Posted: Thu Jul 09, 2020 4:49 pm
Recently I came across two pilots from YouTuber Vivziepop, one called Hazbin Hotel and the other Helluva Boss. They came out around Halloween 2019 and seem to be doing quite wel. Felt they should be shared here for more exposure. Both have very high levels of animation quality (Hazbin especially) and are NOT FOR KIDS! Strong language advisory. Feel is similar to the cartoons Invader ZIM and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy with more adult language and content. Hopefully some TV station or streaming service picks the shows up.
Hazbin Hotel Synopsis: Follow Charlie, the princess of Hell, as she pursues her seemingly impossible goal of rehabilitating demons to peacefully reduce overpopulation in her kingdom. After a yearly extermination imposed by angels, She opens a hotel in hopes that patients will be "checking out" into Heaven. While most of Hell mocks her goal, her devoted partner Vaggie, and their first test subject, adult film-star Angel Dust, stick by her side. When a powerful entity known as the "Radio Demon" reaches out to Charlie to assist in her endeavors, her crazy dream is given a chance to become a reality.
Runtime is 33 minutes with a post-credits scene. Very Disney movie like as it contains multiple musical numbers. Starts slow and speeds up and up as the episode goes on. They also made a short comic to help as a prequel to this pilot: https://www.hazbinhotel.com/comic/page-01
Helluva Boss Synopsis: Follow Blitzo (the 'o' is silent) as he attempts to run a startup killing company in a very competitive market, along with his weapons specialist Moxxie, his powerhouse Millie, and his receptionist hellhound Loona. With the help of an ancient book obtained by one of the princes of Hell, they manage to make their work possible and together they attempt to survive each other while trying to keep their business afloat.
Runtime is 11 minutes. Fun note the voice actor for Zim and Billie from the cartoons mentioned earlier, Richard Horvitz, provides the voice of Moxxie in this show.
