BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA
Dir. Gábor Csupó (2007)
Tuca & Bertie is the sort of adult cartoon that feels like it’s like other cartoons… except it’s better. I can make a whole list but I’ll just note here that it’s got that Bro feel minus misogyny and their Adult content isn’t raunchy.
I say that having watched BoJack Horseman. The difference is that BoJack is about mental health and cultural critique whereas Tuca & Bertie is about friendship and adulting. The former is cynical, the latter is indulgent. Both have merit. I just want more indulgence.
I will be as obnoxious as I need to be in order for more people to try this show because it’s so diverse and brilliantly written. We need more adult cartoons like Tuca & Bertie.

I didn’t realize this post would take off, and I’m not even sure how many of you will even see this. I want to address the fact that I wrote this post before watching the last three episodes. Those get much darker because they involve more direct topics of sexual harassment/assault. HOWEVER, by the end of it all, there’s still a feeling of hope and triumph in the face of trauma. No matter how dark Tuca & Bertie gets, it’s still far more optimistic and feel-good than Bojack, which covers similar problems with a much bleaker tone.
