E.g.: Stranger Things, Grey's Anatomy, Banshee, The Walking Dead"Central Park", the new feat of arms of the creator of "Bob's Burgers", arrives today on Apple TV+.What is this musical animated series worth with the voices of Kristen Bell and Stanley Tucci?A family of caretakers, who live and work in Central Park, undertake to save the park, threatened by an old businesswoman who is determined to destroy it to establish a real estate project there.Central Park, a series created by Loren Bouchard, with the voices of Josh Gad, Kristen Bell, Stanley Tucci, Tituss Burgess, Kathryn Hahn, Daveed Diggs and Leslie Odom Jr.Available from May 29 on Apple TV+.4 episodes seen out of 13.Owen Tillerman is the happy husband of Paige and the father of Molly and Cole.He is also the steward of Central Park, where the whole little family resides.But soon, a series of plagues befalls the park, which are the work of the terrible Bitsy Brandenham, a cantankerous old businesswoman who lives with her assistant/housekeeper/handywoman and her dog Champagne in a silver tower that overlooks the green lung of New York.Bitsy has a boundless hatred for the park and its visitors and decides to do everything to transform Central Park into a hideous and deserted place with only a horrible real estate project as its horizon.Birdie, an acrobat always accompanied by his violin, acts as narrator and this whole happy team goes through all of these adventures in songs.Behind these very sympathetic and endearing characters for some and deliciously detestable for the other created by Loren Bouchard who is none other than the creator of the animated series Bob's Burgers, hides a high-flying voice cast.Josh Gad (who is none other than the voice of Olaf in The Snow Queen) embodies Birdie, Leslie Odom Jr. (crossed in particular in Person of Interest and in New York Special Unit) and Kathryn Hahn lend their voices to the Tillerman spouses , the children are played by Kristen Bell and Tituss Burgess (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) and finally, Stanley Tucci and Daveed Diggs (also on the poster of Snowpiercer), unrecognizable, camp the terrible Bitsy and her faithful assistant Helen.In addition to being convincing and since it is a musical series, they are doing perfectly well when it comes to pushing the ditty on songs that are sometimes a little long, but always catchy (special mention to the second piece of the pilot, which stays in the lead for a long time).Another good point, in terms of diversity: the Tillerman family is a mixed family (Owen is black, Paige is white, so the two children are mixed race), which is not so common in animated series, and the show often shines thanks to a relevant political speech, sometimes social, sometimes feminist, through the character of Molly for example, particularly well written.The episodes last between 20 and 25 minutes each and follow each other with pleasure.The first season will include 13 episodes and Apple TV+ having ordered 26 directly, a season 2 is already planned.Contact |Who are we |Recruitment |Advertising |TOS |Cookies policy |Cookie Preferences |Personal Data |Press review |AlloCiné services |©AlloCineFind all the times and information for your cinema on the AlloCiné number: 0 892 892 892 (€0.90/minute)
