Candy Land: The Great Lollipop Adventure Review

They turned Candy Land into a movie. Oh boy....
Original Air-Date: November 28th, 2015

[@clarabellem4097]

Fun theory: "Lord" Licorice used to be a prince, he was the son of King Candy, but the king was ashamed of Licorice, saying that his candy isn't sweet enough to be royalty in Candyland, but since Prince Licorice was still his son, he had a castle built in a little out of the way castle and allowed him to be a lord. This would be around the time that Princess Lollipop was born, since then the King would have a "proper" heir. Now Licorice is bitter because of what he could have had, and the love his sister has that he never got, thus he wants to take over Candyland.

[@Bobsheaux]

THAT has to happen. lol

[@mimethecat8849]

Gives me even more reason to like lord licorice owo

[@PyroGothNerd]

*Actually, the board game did have a story.* Beginning with the 1980's version of the game, Lord Licorice had used his magic to kidnap/hide King Kandy and his castle. As a result, Candy Land's magic began to fail, and all candy crops began to do poorly. You (the player) are trying to find the castle and save Candy Land. There were also many spin-off books based on the 80's and 90's versions of the games. There's a little cardboard thing in the box explaining everything, including brief descriptions of the characters. They also changed Frostine into a Princess for the 2002 version (the horrible remake the film is based on) which explains why she's Lolly's sister (ugh, curse the 2002 version) and also why it's Chocolate swamp instead of Molasses. Also, it was not uncommon for nobles of lower-status to conspire for higher-status than their superiors. There's a reason so many stories have viziers as the villains.....because they often tried to overthrow their king out of spite since they were doing more work. Lord Licorice has every reason to want higher status than what he has. While he might make things miserable for the other kinds of candy, the denizens of his land would have more area to roam. Also, he's only banning other kinds of candy, not the people themselves. There are plenty of citizens who are not made of candy.

[@SpookNukem]

...Why do you know this?

[@albertarias8233]

I'm with you on frostine. I even hate the new look they gave her and as it progressed from there it got worse than ever. Nothing beats her old look. Heck even her name rhymes with Queen.

[@Laevateinn102]

+PyroGothNerd In the movie's defence - they actually managed to make Mr.Mint's new design less creepy in the film. I don't know - the way he's drawn in the 2002 game just looks really unsettling in my opinion.

[@PyroGothNerd]

Laevateinn102 They made all the 2002 designs look better in the film.

[@PyroGothNerd]

Spook Nukem I am a nerd who used to have the 1980's board, and ever since 2nd grade hated the 2002 one....although the 2002 one isn't nearly as bad as the more recent ones.

[@Nintendotron64]

I'll give the movie credit for one thing: covering the kingdom in licorice out of wanting payback for those who mocked him because nobody likes licorice IS kind of a clever motivation for a villain.

[@ezrastardust3124]

Nintendotron64 agreed tbh

[@nathanschmitz2302]

For some reason, there was something in that song to that felt, a bit charming.

[@rogue7723]

It reminded me a lot of a pirate shanty.

[@ARCtheCartoonMaster]

So like... am I the only one who likes licorice?

[@Nintendotron64]

@@ARCtheCartoonMaster probably not! Actually, I think that would’ve been a better direction to take the story: expand on the whole “licorice racism” concept. Have the licorice bits initially hail Lord Licorice as a savior of their people, but throughout the film, make it clear that he doesn’t really care and just wanted to be crowned. This gives the licorice bits motivation to rebel and the heroes motivation to stop Lord Licorice.

[@Eeveechuvoli]

I find the licorice song kinda catchy.

I think Bob found it catchy too, since he let it play and put it in the end credits. It is pretty catchy song

[@joshuagannon6566]

From what I've seen in this review, I want to like Lord Licorice. It's completely understandable to want his licorice to be as liked as all the other candies, until he went with the typical plan of outlawing every other candy. And he mentions that licorice is all but banned when sweets rule the land. So.... where does that leave sour drops, spice drops, other assorted hot/spicey candies like those atomic fireballs? Do they get a spot in the Candy Confederacy? If not, then why doesn't Lord Licorice form an alliance with the rulers of those other assorted un-sweet candies and form an alternate kingdom where people who do like those kinds of candies can go? Like even taking what's presented in the movie, someone with decent writing capability and a standard grasp on logic could rewrite this mess and turn it into a respectable story. Ah well, might as well toss it in the pile of 'Could haves, Would haves, Should haves'.

[@lightyearpig12]

From what I could gather, this movie had a lot of starpower behind it. For example, Ian James Cortlett (Goku, Mega Man, Coconuts) plays Mr. Mint, Scott McNeil (Dr. Wily, Yukon Cornelius, Piccolo) plays King Kandy, Doug Parker (Starscream, Mega Man in Captain N, Prince Adam in New Adventures of He-Man) plays Jolly, Britt McKillip (Princess Cadence, Baby Lola Bunny, Hannah Marie) plays Princess Lolly, Mark Oliver (Him, Super-Skrull, Lord Garmadon) plays Lord Licorice and finally Kathleen Barr (THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE, Katella, Mrs. Twombly) plays Princess Frostine.

When I got to that Mr. Mint scene, the literal first thing to come to mind was Goku. Oh, and irrelevant, but Kid Icarus/Pit from Captain N later went on to voice L from Death Note, and Captain N himself later went on to voice Ed from Ed, Edd, n Eddy. Yeeeee-up.

[@RaichuWizDom]

+lightyearpig12 I've been wracking my brain why Mr. Mint sounded so familiar, and it's not just the Goku voice. He was the dad in the Cramp Twins, too. As weird as it sounds, I kept thinking he was Mr. Cake.

Love the review but the movie was based on the revised from from the early 2000's, not the original. With the 2000's one, Frostine and Lolly were sisters rather than mother and daughter while the king was both their father. My theory is that the original Lolly could've grown up, married and have the current Frostine and Lolly...still can't figure why and how could she marry a guy with the same name as her father though...

[@javariyearwood6792]

14:42 "Loli tries to save Jib by jumping in, herself, because she forgot that she can fly, apparently!" Not only that. This entire scene could've been avoided if Jolly had decided to shape-shift into the broken part of the bridge (or anything else, really) so that the rest of the main protagonists can cross. Essentially, this is just another excuse to cause conflict where there would be none at all, otherwise.

[@andrewdowns3673]

(looks angrily at the screen) This is bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. How dare they make a crappy movie about a classic board game. How dare they ruin the characters many grew up with. How dare they ruin an iconic board game that has been passed down the generations.ok, first off I'm not a Candyland fan boy; I love it as much as everyone else, mildly so since it is something I grew up with. With that said, this is still crap for several reasons. First, no Plumpy, the green troll in the first land (as seen in Bob's image of the board game) HE'S THE FIRST CHARACTER YOU MEET AND HE'S NOT IN IT!!! Second, Mr. Mint, or correctly known as Peppermint Jack has an axe as he's a lumberjack of the peppermint forest, which is also seen at the games box at the end of the review by Bob; also as a side note, HE'S ALWAYS BEEN THE BIGGEST CHARACTER I THE GAME, SO MUCH SO HE'S THE LARGEST CHARACTER ON THE BOX. WHY!!!! IS!!! HE!!! AN!!! IDIOT!!!!!!!!!! Third, wtf is that thing from the gummy lands? That is not Jolly the pink skinned buggy gum person. WHY DID YOU REPLACE HIM WITH THE NON-SPEAKING GUMBY REJECT!!! Fourth, Granny nut has no dog-basket-thing; in the board game she is seen picking the nuts as if she were a peanut farmer and putting them in a non-living basket. Plus her dress is blue, not brown. Fifth, what the hell did they do to Lolly? Sure the idea of her wings being lollipops is mildly interesting (as I doubt she can fly with them), but in the game she already has a land, ITS RIGHT BEFORE FROSTEN HOW COULD YOU MISS IT? Also, no, no no no no no no, her hair is pink not brown, stop trying to be Frozen: LET IT GO! Fifth, Frostine...oh my god, why did you do this to her. In the board game she IS King Candy's wife, the QUEEN of Candyland, not his daughter in any way shape or form. Lolly is their daughter, that's it why make it weird and acceptable for Bob to say: 'Must be a Bobsheaux' Plus her dress is pure white, like ice cream or frosting like she is meant to represent. Sixth, Gloppy...this is why it shouldn't have been marketed for low IQ kids, Gloppy is a monster, that's why no one wants to land in the 'molasses swamp' (not chocolate you self serving pieces of-) Seventh, Lord Licorice...actually that was his goal all along, I looked it up...but that's what the movie business is for, changing things up. Make him more diabolical, make him more threatening, make him have a better goal at least. Eight, King Candy, your a dumbass when you should have been a benevolent ruler who actually had guards and was an actual intelligent person. and Ninth, where are the kids? heck this could have been an Oz, Narnia, or Wonderland type movie where the kids get sucked into the magical world of Candy land and have to get out. I HATE THE GINGERBREAD KID!!!!!!So yeah I'm a little P.O.ed about this crap called a movie. Thank god it was direct to video or several hundreds of people would have asked for their money back...more so than the poor souls who bought the direct to video. Anyway that's all. Keep up the good work Bob.

The new looks are the saddest thing to happen to this and I thought it got worse from there.

+Andrew Downs Hang on to your passion. Give the world the Candyland movie it DESERVES! >;)

[@sirius_raspberry]

Wait a minute... This is just like the version I grew up with. My childhood experience with Candy Land was... a CASH GRAB!? (Suspenseful music plays)

"Peppermint Cannibal Beavers" is a great band name.

I had forgotten all about this until now. Thank you for bringing back so many memories.

I'm surprised the "must be a Bobsheaux" wasn't triggered by "princess loli."

[@SuperMarkerComicBro]

This is one of your funniest reviews, Bob.

[@albertarias8233]

This movie is the exact opposite of the board game and that alone did better than the movie. I wish I could remake the movies with everything involved with the board game myself. Old character designs, kids that you actually play as, the locations to be played out better, and character development.

[@SamsterClone]

I actually watched this many many years ago... and I enjoyed it...

[@ThePhantomSafetyPin]

But... but Lord Licorice is the Lord of *all* Licorice. Doesn't anyone like that Australian red licorice? or Twizzlers? Surely Lord Licorice is the Lord of Twizzlers... Know what? No. I'm tired of this anti-licorice propaganda. Justice for Lord Licorice, I say! The Gingerbread People should join the Licorice people in solidarity as both are treated so ill by society! #LicoriceLivesMatter

[@heartofnova8768]

Was this animated by the people who did Rudolph the Movie? The style's pretty similar to me. Also I laughed my ass off at the Frozen bit.

[@undertaleextras7828]

This movie strangely reminded me of the Moshi Monsters movie. I.... I need a review for that movie. Please make it happen

[@iparty907]

I had a DVD game for the 2002 version and there were so many ads for this movie for this on there. I can't believe this actually existed. I used to be obsessed with this.

Why is Lord Licorice’s theme so catchy? 😂

Villain songs are always catchy.

[@alexjewett7455]

9:31 to be fair, black licorice is the most disgusting thing ever. That being said, this song is actually kinda catchy.

[@TheSparrowBatman]

That Grinch joke was spot on 😂😂😂 omfg that was funny

[@LikaLaruku]

Really, there's not story behind the board game. Would it really have been such a stretch to keep a queen a queen & make the characters look exactly like they do on the board?

[@SparkleWolf404]

I think the reason none of the other trees and the houses are not alive is because they lack faces on them.

The licorice looks like tentacles, and it's honestly freaking me out. D: Also this movie actually has some very decent voice acting, it's a shame the story and characters are horrible.
