Enter the Florpus serves as a excellent reminder of why the series holds such a special place in the Nicktoon canon. It's weird, smart and bracingly unsentimental.

The revival's feature length has fractionally slowed the pace, just as the new widescreen format -- that's how ancient the original cartoons are; they never made it out of the old standard format -- makes it feel less cramped and claustrophobic.

Hilarious, exciting, but most all, true to itself, the movie is one of the best of the Nickelodeon revivals.

I'll say this: the animation is fantastic. The show has clearly received an upgrade in the quality department in the 13 years since it has been off the air.
