Who just stares at her cell phone while you're getting creamed
With your creepy Teletubbies Sun as my witness,
Your random Nicktoon baby show just can't touch this!

Your kitty rips off Puss In Boots, is that the best she can bring?
My show has even more flavor than your Nacho Kiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
Miguel:
(Oh, come on, it's King Nacho!)
And those verses were tasteless! You have no self-confidence!
And when you do, you jump off a ramp to your doom, you're so dense!
Spy Fly and Tininess? Get your spells together, dog!
I'm down to earth and sensible, you're a dimwitted pizza hog!
I shrug off brain freezes 'cause I'm so chill!
I'd say now it's time for me to go in for the kill!
In this contest of the best cartoon dog in town,
You might be a prince, but I wear the crown!

Illusion Fox Comedy
Zoroark smiled and pointed as he said, "Hi, I'm Zoroark! I'm an Illusion Fox and I got a review for YOU!"
ILLUSION FOX REVIEWS
"Well, I did it!" Zoroark said, sounding very much relieved, "I watched the first episode of Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty, and thank Arceus, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. I was expecting something seriously bad. Like, Teen Titans GO! bad or Henry Danger or Kid Danger bad where everyone's an idiot because people think being stupid is funny for some reason. But, somehow, Nickelodeon managed to avoid making another stinker."
Zoroark held up a claw and said, "Don't get me wrong, it is kinda lame. But it isn't horrible, and that's something to be thankful for. Anyway, Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty, there's a magical kitty named Felicity, and she's best friends with an Egyptian Spanish dog named Miguel that can use music as a weapon, and they have crazy adventures and stuff."
Zoroark grinned and said, "Best synopsis ever!"
He then nodded and said, "Okay, first let's take a closer look at our two main characters and how they compare with a certain other pair of characters that people thought looked very similar to these ones."
"So, Felicity the rainbow butterfly unicorn kitty and Miguel the Anubis chihuahua actually are quite different from Unikitty and Puppycorn, so I can't really call them rip-offs. They seem to be more like superheroes in a way, with actual powers beyond flying and catching on fire when they get mad. Miguel has a magical staff that he can turn into different guitars that he uses to shoot magic and lightning and stuff like that. So, yeah, he uses the Power of Rock to fight bad guys. Pretty cool. Also, instead of being cute and naive like Puppycorn, he's actually sensible and down to earth, while still being energetic and fun loving."
Zoroark actually looked interested as he continued to explain, "And Felicity's powers are actually well thought out. While Unikitty is just a cat with a horn on her head, Felicity can actually channel each of her powers in a kind of 'by the power of Grayskull' kind of way. Whenever she needs to use her powers, she flies up and shouts, 'rainbow butterfly unicorn kitty' and then call upon the power of one of those things to transform. Rainbow power makes her all stretchy like Mrs. Incredible, butterfly power gives her giant wings so she can blow enemies back with powerful wind, unicorn power lets her shoot lazers, and kitty power lets her fire glow sticks like bullets while also letting her do that cute eye thing that Dreamworks' Puss in Boots is known for. So, yeah, there's actually a lot more to her than there is to Unikitty. There's more possibilities for fights and action scenes, at least."
Zoroark flexed his arms and said, "Okay, now it's time for the review! I'm gonna give you the good! I'm gonna give you the bad! Then I'm gonna give you the tricky!"
Zoroark smiled and said, "First the good! Each of the two segments of the first episode focuses on one of our main character. Purrfect Party focuses on Felicity, while Anubis Newbie focuses on Miguel. This is clever, as it introduces us to the characters and sets up how they will behave and interact throughout the show."
"Purrfect Party does a good in showing us how Felicity is mostly a cat in spite of being a combination of four things. We get a funny opening of her starting her day with a whole bunch of cat things that manage to be both cute and funny. We also get to see Miguel being supportive of his friend in helping her master her powers, and the powers themselves are fun to look at. Seriously, the best moment has to be when Felicity obliterates a training dummy meant to look like her veterinarian, that is just gold."
"We also see that the world they live in is a land of mostly mythological creatures. Centaurs, mermaids, leprechauns, things like that, so it makes sense for something like Felicity to be here."
"The plot is also a good starting point for the series. Felicity has to show off her powers at a party, so it provides a way for us to see her powers and how they work, but also how this world works and what else lives there. And things like there being a random door with a minotaur behind it, or Felicity defeating it with the power of cuteness actually work in a world where nothing is realistic and not much is meant to be taken seriously, it's a wacky, comedy, fantasy world. . . like Unikitty, but in a different way, because the characters aren't toys or LEGOs, they're just magical cartoon characters."
Zoroark was smiling excitedly as he went on, "Now, I actually liked Anubis Newbie better, because it actually gave us a little backstory on Miguel. We learn that Anubis dogs are supposed to become kings in the Underworld, and after Miguel plays a magical melody, we actual go to the Underworld where he has to go through these challenges to become an Anubis King. And the idea of the challenges being presented as a game show just fits the tone of this show perfectly. We also see how Felicity's heart is always in the right place even if she makes mistakes or gets in the way."
Zoroark looked rather happy as he continued, "Also, I loved King Nacho's character. He could have easily been a jerk that constantly doubted or put down our heroes, but he was legitimately cool and nice and just and fair. He was just so likeable."
Zoroark frowned and gave a thumbs down gesture with his right claw. "And now for the bad."
Zoroark slapped his forehead with his left palm and rubbed it as he groaned, "Fart jokes! Of course! In both episodes! The first one is long and pathetic and desperately trying to get a laugh, and the second one kinda ruins King Nacho's opening scene."
Zoroark put his arm down and said with wide eyes, "And don't get me started on the Sun! Oh my gosh, it's like the baby in the Sun from Teletubbies grew up and got a job being the Sun in this show! Kids who watched the Teletubbies that are older now are gonna have traumatic flashbacks from watching this show! The Sun in Unikitty! has a little cute face like all of other LEGO characters, not a creepy man face that makes the Angry Sun in Super Mario Bros. 3 look pleasant."
Zoroark then shrugged and said, "There's also this weird rat guy disguised as the Easter Bunny, and he really doesn't need to be here. I don't really get it. Anyway, moving on to Anubis Newbie, there's this really annoying scene where Miguel is getting caught in all of these painful traps, but Felicity is able to walk right through them while looking down at her phone. Ugh! I hate it when they use this trope of all the bad stuff happening to one character who's actually trying while nothing happens to the other one. It makes her look worse than how she really is."
Zoroark then winked and said, "And now for the tricky!"
Zoroark tapped his foot and said, "So, the ending of Anubis Newbie is interesting, it that first it tries to give a moral about what it means to take charge. King Nacho was impressed by how Miguel told Felicity not to held him, but then when the mummy overpowered him he decided to ask for help. I guess the idea is that Miguel was able to see when to do a job himself and when to ask for help. I suppose that's a good message, even those in charge need assistance sometimes. And the ending was a bit predictable, with Miguel choosing his friend over being a king. But it was a heartwarming moment, especially with how Felicity was willing to support his dream even if it meant saying goodbye forever. And let's not forget how this show likes to photoshop in live action photographs and objects and manipulate them so it's like they're animated. Like, they'll be a crowd of people taken from a photo with their mouths opening up and down to make it look like they're laughing and cheering. I know it's meant to be part of the style, and it's not as creepy as the Sun, but I think I'd like it better if the animation was consistent. It just seems lazy to me."
Zoroark then smiled sheepishly and said, "Also, does anyone else find it weird that the clearly Egyptian looking characters are all portrayed as Mexican?"
Zoroark tossed his arms up and said, "And so, that was the first episode of Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty, and I can honestly say that it is not a Unikitty! rip off. The main character game from a meme that predates The LEGO Movie, and the characters, setting, animation style, and type of humor are very different. No one is saying that Zootopia is a rip off of Fantastic Mr. Fox just because they both have foxes in them, so why get angry about this? So far, this show looks good, and it wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on both of these shows so we can compare them and she what works and what doesn't."
Zoroark pointed with a claw and said, "Now I wanna here from you? Which show do you like better? Also, what other similar shows or movies or games or whatever have you seen and wondered if one ripped off the other? Come on, let me know!"
Zoroark smiled a bit and said, "Be sure to Follow and Favorite, you won't regret it! Night Slash! Raaar!"
Zoroark then stepped forward and playfully swiped at the camera.
