Johnny Test: Ultimate Meatloaf Quest
What's the Story?
JOHNNY TEST: ULTIMATE MEATLOAF QUEST is an interactive installment of the popular Johnny Test franchise. Johnny (James Arnold Taylor) and Dukey (Trevor Devall) are faced with eating Dad's (Ian James Corlett) awful meatloaf for dinner. Luckily, his twin sisters Susan (Maryke Hendrikse) and Mary (Emily Tennant) have invented a neural headband that allows them to travel to alternate realities to, theoretically, find and grab the greatest meatloaf ever in hopes of saving themselves. But it's still in its test phase, and it seems that a glitch is allowing something from somewhere else to control what's going to happen.
Is It Any Good?
The fun special features all the lively, science-driven action that the franchise is known for, but with an interactive twist. As the narrative unfolds, viewers get to choose which direction it will go from a given set of options. Meanwhile, the twins create the sense that the viewer is part of the story world by noting (with concern) that "someone else" seems to be taking control of their experiment. Johnny Test: Ultimate Meatloaf Quest is entertaining, and young viewers (and some older ones) will delight in their ability to participate in the adventure.
