Reception

• The pilot received mostly negative reviews from the audience for the plot and the characters being something like Disney's Pickle and Peanut and Breadwinners, while the animation, which was reminding shows like The Amazing World of Gumball, and the music were praised. Also, the voice of Ben Small doing Pinky Malinky was criticized, compared to the voice of Lucas Grabeel in the final series.
