This must be an oddball episode, but then again, this series stars a bunch of lovable oddbals, known best as The Samurai Pizza Cats! It's high time that THIS episode deserved a review, and here it is!
The story begins when Big Al Dente stumbles upon one of the old scriptures of when the palace was built (but "Fell down on" would be a better term) and has learned that there is a major structural flaw. Meanwhile, The Big Cheese has overheard about this, but Jerry Atrick and Big Al, at the same time were wondering the following: "I. Beam, I know that name. Something happened to him." And after witnessing Princess Vi sentencing a floor to Prisoner Island, Al Dente calls the Pizza Cats, who get themselves equipped, and briefed on the situation as to what Big Al found out! It turned out that when the Architect accidentally won a 2P Video game against Princess Vi, SHE SENT HIM TO PRISONER ISLAND, The Princess' Island Sunspot for those who dare to unwittingly CROSS Princess Vi, be it floors that make her trip, or hackneyed writers, or even EXTRAS! With that, the Pizza Cats are sent to Prisoner Island, to learn what the flaw is.
Unfortunately, so too are Bad Bird, some Ninja Crows, and their Robot of the Week - Big Frank, who simply steal their ride! ENTER THE RESCUE TEAM! Those guys knew the heroes would screw it up, somehow. Meowzma tunnels the cats underground and underwater to their destination, while Batcat bombs Bad Bird's voyage to Prisoner Island from the Air. The cats arrive on the dark jungle of Prisoner Island. While Polly and Guido got tail-felt (she thought it was Speedy doing it) and whacked by some unseen danger (Guido thought it was Meowzma), it turned out that said danger was a giant snake! And after some quick dodging, Speedy fell down with the snake, and have the others worried (Meowzma: Go to a commercial, QUICK!)...
... Or should they? For Speedy is stranded on a branch like the standard cliche'd cat on a tree. Elsewhere the bad guys make it on the shore of Prisoner Island, where he follows the Pizza Cat Tracks. Speedy scales a mountainside, where he ends up clinging onto a giant bird, that he stabs the leg of, so he falls into the water, where he ends up flowing to... THE OTHER SIDE OF PRISONER ISLAND! A resort where the prisoners and I. Beam live out their imprisonment, all thanks to Princess Vi, whose angry face graces a statue, which if pressed, plays a voice file of the sweetest sound a citizen of Little Tokyo could ever hear: "I'M SENDING YOU TO PRISONER ISLAND!!" And in the Villa, Speedy finds Batcat mingling with the girls. He also finds I. Beam, who talks Speedy into partying. And back at the beach, the other heroes make it, where Guido gets an eyeful of the babes! The group reunites, but Speedy gets a fist in the face by Polly, and soon after, Bad Bird invades with Big Frank, and a fantastic fight scene ensues! Speedy decapitated Big Frank, but he is actually modular, WAY before the Guard Armor Heartless from Kingdom Hearts was created! Meowzma and Batcat combine their weapons to form a two-way Wind/Earth Blaster, and Speedy finishes Big Frank off with the Magical Ginsu Sword! Oh, and its less-other mentioned companion sword, Binky, For those of you who noticed, he has two. The Bad Bird team gets blown into the water, and they do the Victory Pose!
Batcat delivers a message from I. Beam, telling Big Al that the flaw is within the Big Cheese's chambers, but poor Seymour finds that out the Temper-tantrum way, and he plummets and explodes! Back on Prisoner/Resort Island, the Pizza Cats are relaxing until Big Al bids them a return.
My thoughts: I love how Polly shrieks when the snake feels the base of her tail.
"REEEEOWW!!! You just watch what you're doing, you tail-twitching twerp!"
Not to mention the fact that we can see two shots from the Theme song, like where Speedy attacks the snake, and where Guido goes gaga over the beach girls.
