Larva Island is the fourth and fifth season of Larva and premiered on October 19, 2018 on Netflix. The show focuses on the titular larvae characters from Season 1 to 3; Red and Yellow, being stranded on a tropical island as the two curious, goofy larva buddies find slapstick fun in everything from discovering food to meeting new animal friends.
Why It Rocks
- The animation quality improved after the first 3 seasons.
- Chuck is the first language-speaking human character of the show.
- The new characters are more likable than other characters from the previous 3 seasons and the titular characters have more character development than the first 3 seasons ever showed.
- There are not enough potty jokes in this season than the other 3 seasons. In fact, there is no episode that only focuses on farts or childish humor. Yellow's farts aren't a part of the jokes anymore, but mainly the story.
- The writing has a new style of cohesion and is more sophisticated than before.
- Yellow now uses his gross-out traits from the first 3 seasons for helping his friends on this island instead of gross-out humor.
- Due to the episode time limit is extended to 7 minutes instead of 3, the plots actually make more sense and don't feel as rushed or cartoonish.
- It is the longest-running season of the show, with 2 seasons being currently on Netflix.
- For those who miss the old characters such as Grey with the gang from Season 2 and the recurring characters from Season 1, they appear in "Lala Island" and the "Larva Ranger" episodes.
- The adventures are far more interesting and cartoonishly energetic, something the other seasons didn't show enough of.
- The humor is more exaggerated & funnier than the first 3 seasons' attempt at exaggerated humor and now with sophistication.
- "A Lucky Day" has the segment when Chuck tries to get rid of Yellow & Red as a direct throwback to 1940s animation with the Looney Tunes background & music, and it is like a parody of CG Looney Tunes shorts with an enjoyably new style to it.
- The music is very refreshing, tropical, sometimes jazzy & pretty nice to listen to.
Bad Qualities
- Even if the animation quality improved massively, the animation style is still kinda bland. But it still very expressive and amazingly animated compared to many CGI shows for the time.
- Chuck by personality is well-structured, relatable & solid, but his dialogue is somewhat corny. But this is understandable from the standpoint of a Korean animation company dubbing for American audiences.
- It still has some flaws from the previous seasons, such as the occasional toilet humor and several butt-monkey characters (This time being Chuck the massive Butt-Monkey of the show instead of Red and Yellow)
- Speaking of which, the Red, Yellow, and Chuck's relationship feels like the SpongeBob and Patrick-Squidward from SpongeBob SquarePants with the straight man suffering from the idiots' antics.
- The last episode ended in a cliffhanger (pretty much ending the series where it was getting better) which didn't really specify where Red and Yellow went other than them being put in another slapstick-induced adventure.
