He can be un hypnotized by getting hit with water or put back in hypnotized for by one of the two boys snapping their fingers.

A brilliant film in so many ways!! It is so simple with barely any dialogue, but it doesn't need it you can tell what is going on by the actions and expressions can say more than a thousands words with a film like this. It's cute, funny and smart and carries a message about the environment. Technically the level of detail in the animation is amazing and set new standards for all animations. There are slight influences from Short circuit in the design of Wall-e and 2001: A Space Odyssey as well later in the film. Do not miss this film!!
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2287 KP) rated The Heist (Fox and O'Hare, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
FBI Kate O'Hare has been chasing conman Nick Fox for years. But when she finally catches him, her life is turned upside down. Now she finds herself teamed up with him to try to catch another criminal.
To me, this book felt like a melding of the TV shows White Collar and Castle, both of which I love. It was funny and a wild ride. The pace was just a little off at times, but for the most part I enjoyed this romp.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2287 KP) rated Pipsqueak in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When Garth Carson finds a squirrel puppet from a favorite childhood show, he thinks he's found a nostalgic goldmine. Instead, he soon finds a body and a conspiracy that seems too hard to believe. In fact, that was one problem I had with the book, I just couldn't believe it. The characters were also too thin. And the "comic" part of the comic caper? Not really that funny. I did find the climax over the top yet fun, however.

Danvers hates his life, especially since no one appreciates his attempts to create stunts that his idol, Gonzo, would love. But one morning Danvers wakes up as a Muppet. What is happening? And how will his life change? I found the book to be a very fast read, the large number of pictures certainly helped. Yet, I also found it quite funny. Any fan of the Muppets will enjoy it, down to the elementary school target audience.

Jaine usually gets along well with her neighbors, but no one gets along well with Cryptessa Muldoon the star of an old one season sitcom. But when someone kills Cryptessa during a Halloween party while wearing Jaine's costume, she leaps to the top of the suspect list. Can she clear her name? As always, this is a fun and funny mystery. I was laughing at some of the sub-plots while wondering what secret and twist Jaine would uncover next.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2287 KP) rated I am Invited to a Party! (Elephant & Piggie, #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Piggie is invited to her very first party, and Gerald says he knows all about parties. But are his ideas right or not?
This is another fun and funny book in Mo’s Elephant and Piggie series. Things just get crazier as they go along until we hit the perfect ending. Once again, the words are easy to sound out and the illustrations add much to the humor of the story. Great for reading and rereading.

Crystal (148 KP) rated Brooklyn Nine-Nine - Season 1 in TV
Jun 10, 2018 (Updated Jun 10, 2018)
Listen. This show is hilarious. I have never laughed so much. Andy Samberg's character Jake, doesn't know how to be serious without making a dumb comment or making up words. I have never related to a character so much. This is not a typical cop show. If you want to watch a cop procedural stick with Law & Order. If you have been scrolling passed it on Hulu and not sure about watching it or not. Do it! I binged this season in like 2 days.
