PBS Kids: Brotherhood

PBS Kids: Brotherhood is the first of two movies depicting the aged-up lives of the PBS Kids mascots.

Synopsis
After graduating college (with degrees in Science and Art, respectively) with flying colors, Dash and his sister Dot decide to visit their parents and celebrate it with their younger twin siblings Del (who has just kicked off his transition into a trans boy) and Dee. A shitstorm of random events happens afterward as the party gets crashed by alchemists (Fullmetal Alchemist), aliens, Boogiepop, everybody on the periodic table (Atom Town), vampires, both shiny (Twilight) and kickass (Hellsing), mascots of the Olympic Games, master tacticians (Code Geass), toys (Toy Story), ex-street racers who have gone on to accomplish some outlandish shit (Fast and Furious), amoral members of Welsh nobility (BlakeIsHere), British children in a World of Jerkass (Horrid Henry) and celebrities like JoJo Siwa (who is now a Joestar and has a Stand for no reason), George W. Bush, Kim Kardashian, and Joe Exotic. Eventually, they have to stop fucking around and deal with Master Studio, a professional at executive meddling.

Why It Sucks
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
 * 1) The plot takes an excruciatingly long time to progress.
 * 2) Most of the cast is unlikable, though they do improve once Master Studio shows up.
 * 3) *Dash is a homophobic and transphobic asshole.
 * 4) *Dot embodies every feminist stereotype in the book, and hypocritically bashes trans men and non-binary people (whether they're AMAB or AFAB) while being supportive of trans women.
 * 5) *Dee can't stop mistreating her trans brother (whether by deadnaming or insulting him), which eventually leads to him trying to kill himself by falling off the rooftop of the house where the movie takes place.
 * 6) *The aliens all look and sound alike, which makes it difficult to distinguish between them.
 * 7) *The Atom Town characters all have inexplicably changed personalities, only because the writer of this movie got bored of every other crossover movie handling them properly.
 * 8) **Phosphorus now lusts for blowing everything up (as indicated by how she is depicted as white phosphorus, a particularly destructive form of phosphorus), and she even says her idols are Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols (who committed the Oklahoma City bombings)!
 * 9) **Sulfur now stinks up every room he steps foot into and doesn't even feel any remorse.
 * 10) **Oxygen is now an energetic loudmouth who doesn't know when to shut up.
 * 11) **Titanium is just some dumb muscle.
 * 12) **Arsenic and Lead are the same in terms of personality.
 * 13) **Hydrogen now does offensive comedy in the style of George Carlin.
 * 14) **Carbon is now a somewhat useless builder due to him constantly getting distracted.
 * 15) **Nitrogen now has an obsession with freezing everyone for no reason at all.
 * 16) **Lithium is now a poorly-written tsundere (and acts like a rip-off of Catalina from Grand Theft Auto III, specifically her San Andreas incarnation) who zaps anyone who annoys her.
 * 17) **Fluorine now straight-up has an obsession with methodist churches and will threaten anyone who doesn't support them.
 * 18) *Some of the Atom Town OCs are also unlikeable.
 * 19) **Uranium is just your average alpha bitch, only ten times worse.
 * 20) **Mercury is much like Uranium, but he's less condescending and more sarcastic.
 * 21) *Edward Cullen now has petty rivalries with Edward Elric (because they share the same first name) and Alucard.
 * 22) *The Fast and Furious characters are just there to promote Fast X.
 * 23) *Jojo Siwa is the perfect example of a Mary Sue, though fortunately, she gets a reality check.
 * 24) *Kim Kardashian's also a Mary Sue.
 * 25) *Blake acts like an asshole in sheep's clothing.
 * 26) *Master Studio, the main villain, is very badly written, despite helping to trigger the last-minute character development.
 * 27) So many filler scenes, such as:
 * 28) *Del struggling to find a binder.
 * 29) *Everyone dancing to "Party Party Party" by Andrew W.K. halfway through the movie.
 * 30) The animation makes the movie feel like it was made in GoAnimate (specifically the Comedy World theme), though it does improve near the end.
 * 31) Product placement that's all over the place. Examples include:
 * 32) *Dash, Dot, and Dee owning iPhones, Del having an old Samsung Galaxy S II, both Kim Kardashian and Jojo Siwa using their real-life phones, and Master Studio owning a Vertu Constellation running what looks to be /e/ (a custom version of Android optimized for user privacy).
 * 33) *Asbestos getting caught sneaking a Nintendo DS Lite into work and playing Final Fantasy III on it in a flashback. He also owns a dark gray SwanCrystal (the final revision of the Japan-only WonderSwan) and plays on it several times throughout the movie.
 * 34) *Del playing on a PSP (specifically a white PSP-1000 model) while contemplating suicide, and later in the "Renai Circulation" music video that plays during the closing credits.
 * 35) It overuses stock sound effects from Hanna-Barbera.
 * 1) It overuses stock sound effects from Hanna-Barbera.

Redeeming Qualities
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
 * 1) Some characters are likable.
 * 2) *Del is a sympathetic no-holds-barred portrayal of the struggles of transgender people, even though he is (unintentionally) a butt-monkey. As a character, he is also well-written.
 * 3) *Bella Swan is much smarter (and snarkier) than she was in Twilight. She even gets to kick ass!
 * 4) *Neasa (An Siopa Ealaine) is written as faithfully as her home series counterpart, due to her ability to make art & crafts.
 * 5) *Asbestos (one of the Atom Town OCs created for this movie, even though asbestos isn't part of the periodic table) is a relatable portrayal of people suffering from burnout. His dry jokes are also quite funny.
 * 6) *Chlorine (Atom Town) is still very likable.
 * 7) *The parents are likable, and they also save Del from falling off the roof.
 * 8) The character designs are well-made.
 * 9) The LGBT elements are well written into the story. These include:
 * 10) *Del being a trans boy.
 * 11) Some scenes are funny or badass, such as:
 * 12) *Blake challenging master tactician and practical smartass Lelouch to a game of chess... on acid (complete with Gekidan Inu Curry-inspired visuals!). Lelouch won, but Blake did put up a good fight nonetheless.
 * 13) *Del calling out everyone who has mistreated him.
 * 14) *The battle between everyone and Master Studio, wherein everyone gets their chance to kick ass, with Lelouch commanding (foreshadowed in the chess scene and in a filler scene of him consistently winning at Fire Emblem). It's also well-animated, with Studio Trigger taking the wheel.
 * 15) *The "Renai Circulation" music video that plays during the credits.
 * 16) Good ending, where after Del's siblings apologize to him, everybody agrees to clean up the messes they made during the party.

Reception
UNDER CONSTRUCTION LOL!

Trivia
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
 * Several deleted scenes exist of this movie, later included in the home video releases. These include:
 * Alucard fighting Edward Cullen.
 * The aliens performing a drive-by on the Party House as their introduction.
 * Finally, we have the original ending, featuring Del snapping and performing a suicide attack by trapping everyone in a Pontiac Trans Sport (known for catastrophically failing an IIHS crash test in 1997) and driving it off a cliff, animated in monochrome and set to the last verse of "Vesti la Giubba".
