The 'Wood (2006)

The 'Wood is a Flash animation (Web cartoon) that's relaxed in artistic style and in humor content. (There's not much of either one.) The show's intro is irritatingly abrasive, incoherent, and sophomoric (repeating "The 'Wood" six times in different faux voices as if for emphasis). The series has six 1-minute episodes, one 3-minute episode, and three 2-minute episodes mildly spoofing Hollywood through the eyes of six actor-celebrities that happen to be bears. That's not much time to play with -- each 2-minute episode has about seven spoken sentences. In fact, the Starz intro with the loud, obnoxious show intro together occupy 40% of a 1-minute episode's time. The concept is cute but I barely broke into a couple of chuckles. IW. 2.5 stars.
