Awesome! I just recently watched Frankie Freako and, once again, had a blast with it. I'll bet that was a really fun night.

My unplayed RPG "shelf" isn't nearly as exciting to look at. I've backed so many Kickstarters over the years with the thought of "I'll try this one with the kids..." I also have a few older games that I've *ahem* found online. Maybe someday...

It's a lot of fun. It's also not horror at all, if that's what you were hoping for. The characters are fun, the songs are banging, the animation is impressive. It slows down a bit in the back half, but picks up again at the end. That being said, I probably won't watch it again anytime soon.
