Theater in the Neighborhood (El Chavo Animado)

Theater in the Neighborhood (Teatro en la Vecindad in the original) is the eighth episode of the third season of El Chavo Animado.

Why It's Not A Good Theater In The Neighborhood

 * 1) It's supposed to be an animated remake of the episode "La fiesta de la Buena Vecindad" of El Chavo del Ocho, but they adapted almost nothing from that episode.
 * 2) It had so much potential to be a decent or even a good episode for being an animated remake of a classic episode of the original series. However, it was wasted.
 * 3) The episode has a fairly mediocre story development as it has a fairly fast pace, as the introduction of the story feels heavy or rushed
 * 4) Misleading title: on the main poster it gives the impression that the episode followed the same line as the original episode of the 70's "Las fietas de la Buena Vecindad", but in reality, it only respects a total of 5 minutes and has nothing to do with it with the original episode.
 * 5) Here the protagonist is one of the most loathsome characters, which's Doña Florinda. In fact, she misbehaves with Don Ramón in most of the episodes.
 * 6) Ironically, Doña Florinda implicitly tortures Quico in two scenes, hanging him.
 * 7) Unfunny or unnecessary scenes like:
 * 8) * When Doña Florinda congratulates Quico for his interpretation of Chapulín Colorado while burning Profesor Jirafales in the head with coffee.
 * 9) * When Profesor Jirafales gets confused and says "No es genial" when Doña Florinda asks him if she's right that her son is talented.
 * 10) *When El Chavo is telling Don Ramon that the squeaky mallet was his and not Quico's, and also, Chavo could not stop talking in that scene and Quico yelled at him to shut up.
 * 11) * When Doña Florinda and Don Ramón accidentally hold on to each other's arms and the audience yells "Kiss!"
 * 12) The episode dehumanizes Professor Jirafales too much since a good part of the story shows him as someone who despises Quico to death, not to mention that at all times they give him a pedantic attitude, contrasting with the original version, where although he was annoyed with the Quico's nonsense, I never despise him.
 * 13) The episode has a serious plot hole, because Professor Jirafales, Doña Florinda, or any of the characters realized that Don Ramon's newspaper was from last year?
 * 14) Quico is also unlikeable in one part when Quico fight with El Chavo over who will be Chapulín Colorado and then cries alone because he didn't get this role.
 * 15) It can be considered another Don Ramón torture episode because of the way he's treated by Doña Florinda and the audience in the theater play.
 * 16) False Advertising: in a 2009 promo that Televisa used to promote the third season, Chavo can be seen singing the poem "The sorry dog returns", this never appears in the episode.
 * 17) There's a scene where the adults discuss which child should win, and subsequently they fight to the point of getting into a fight with the public until the police arrive.
 * 18) Terrible and Godawful Ending: The full neighborhood goes to the auditorium for the play, they see a janitor and Professor Jirafales asks him about the news about the great child actor contest, the janitor laughs saying that it was last year and everyone blames Don Ramón and he confesses that the newspaper where that news was published (The one that appeared at the first five minutes of the episode) used it as a fly swatter and everyone aggressively pursues him, led by Dona Florinda.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The kids (most of the time) and Don Ramón are the only likable characters in this episode.
 * 2) Depending on your view, the scene where Quico gets stuck with Don Ramón and then flies into the sky until it falls on the floor, is the only funny scene of the episode.
 * 3) The first minutes were decent.
