The Venture Bros S01E04: The Incredible Mr. Brisby Review
Medium: Television
Release date: 8/28/2004

Score: 7/10
And we’re back to classic “The Venture Bros” - a fun episode all around. I especially liked the Orange County Liberation Front, I thought they were cute. I think “The Incredible Mr. Brisby” excels in areas the show will later go on to excel and be beloved for, like its comic book/Saturday morning cartoon adventure trappings and logic with the villain Mr. Brisby and the aforementioned Orange County Liberation Front. Again we're also getting the theme of Rusty being a failure in comparison to his father highlighted earlier than I remember, which is interesting to see. If I had any criticism for this go, I guess it may have been a mistake to have an episode where the guy's henchmen dress like bees in a series where the main villain's henchmen dress like butterflies; it seems kind of similar to me, no? But the episode pulls it off, a solid outing, go Team Venture.
