We Wish You a Merry Walrus is a 2014 stop-motion animated television special based on the MMO game Club Penguin. It features a multitude of new and old characters from the franchise, such as Roofhowse and Rockhopper, who go on a mission to save the Merry Walrus.
Why It Wish Us a Merry Walrus
- Good stop motion animation provided by Factory Transmedia that is resemblant of that of shows like Robot Chicken. It also mixes the stop motion with CGI and 2D animation.
- It includes both new and old characters, such as Roofhowse and Rockhopper, the former (along with Jangrah, Blizzard, Sydmull, and Lorna) being made only for the specials.
- It is faithful to the online game that it is based on.
- Herbert and Klutzy (the main villains of the online game) return in this special as the main antagonists.
- The musical number at the beginning is good and can be catchy.
- Good voice acting that fits the characters very well. It is also better than the voice acting in Club Penguin Island.
- It spawned a successor titled Monster Beach Party in 2015.
- Decent jokes.
- It manages to satisfy the 22 minute length, not feeling too fast nor too slow.
Bad Qualities
- The story can be quite cliche and predictable at times.
- Roofhowse is treated as a punching bag at the start of the special, such as his igloo burning down and him attempting to leave the island for not fitting in.
- The special is not as well known because it was released later in Club Penguin's lifespan along with its successors.
Reception
It currently has an 8.1/10 on IMDb.
