Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "A Kid Called Mayonnaise" is a 25-minute live action short film that can be best described as a mix of family and comedy film and it succeeds from both perspectives I'd say. The director is Oscar winner Luke Matheny and the script is by Emmy nominee Will McRobb. This is another entry to the Amazon Originals series, which means that it will be turned into a weekly series if enough people end up liking it. But it has strong competition and not every entry will make it. I personally think it is weaker than Will vs. the Future, but better than Skyward and I guess I may be curious about a potential first season, but maybe it's just that I like Matheny. Really loved his Oscar-winning short film too. Back to this one here: It was a pretty creative little film and I liked the inclusion of animals (ducks, turtles, ostriches). The characters are somewhat interesting, even those that do nothing but stare or spit in a bag and it was also a good watch visually. Reminded me of Moonrise Kingdom a bit at times. But I also have some criticisms. Honestly, the material felt to me as if it would really be more suitable for a 100-minute movie, but maybe not for a recurring television series. And I thought the birthday girl was maybe slightly miscast. Then again the character really does almost nothing except being there. It's all about the boy here. As a whole, a decent little film, felt very creative at times, but maybe the wrong choice of format here if it really gets picked up.
kristinality My 8 y/o daughter and I watched together and we had some great laughs! The story is quirky, which is what I love. Left me questioning what will happen next with Mayo and his friends! There are so many cookie cutter shows for kids nowadays -- please continue this show and give us who crave something different a place at the table! I've followed Elliott's career journey to present day and he's a remarkable kid. I know he will breathe life into Mayo! Let him show us what he can do please!
dncorp A Woman, "Stray Animal Lady", "Stray Cat Lady", Inherited the Hotel "Alamo".Her longtime Guests are beyond "Strange". A small girl guides Guest's Vehicles to parking spaces wearing a Full Sailor Suit. A Guest and her Son Donate Spit (Saliva).A while ago a Baby was left in a Mayonnaise Box, so she named him Mayonnaise "Mayo".All kinds of animals were previously left at the Hotel, so this time a full grown Ostrich is left at the Hotel Alamo.A Girl on a Float (there was no Parade) waves at Mayonnaise, so he, "Mayo" is helped by "Candy" (Spelling) to find the Girl wearing some kind of "Birthday" ("Princess Dress") Dress.A very long time ago, 1970s, U.S. Army Drill Sergeants used to say that "The Only Things that Come Out of California, Are Fruits and Nuts". This "Pilot" from Amazon, seems to fit that description, unlike the other Two "Pilots" from Amazon, that were simply Amazing, Skyward 2017, and Will Versus the Future 2017.
McCartney-Brian My 11-yr old kid was looking forward to seeing this when we first heard about it. She deemed it "quirky and fun." She especially likes the idea of a kid actually named Mayonnaise and now wants a pet ostrich and porcupine, of course. The characters were all really unique. We hope to see more episodes soon involving lots more silliness and relatable inner monologues.
