Springing from there is Louise's determination to solve the crime to save the diner and prove she isn't a baby just because she wears a pink rabbit-eared hat. First comes a murder-mystery ensnaring the Belchers' eccentric landlord Calvin Fischoeder (Kevin Kline, Beauty and the Beast) and his brother Felix (Zach Galifianakis, Ron's Gone Wrong). Layered inside are tomato, lettuce, cheese, pickle and beetroot, aka the narrative's well-balanced fillings. As their seven-day time limit to stump up the cash ticks by, Bob sweats over the grill and Linda oozes her usual optimism - only for a sinkhole to form literally at their door.Īs trusty as Bob's Burgers gets, and still refreshingly committed to depicting the daily reality of its working-class characters, that above setup is the movie's buns.
That mortgage also involves their restaurant equipment, leaving them out of business if they can't pay up. But their bank manager isn't munching when they try to use food to grease their pleas for an extension on their loan. And, as the show has covered frequently, financial woes mean that Bob and his wife Linda (John Roberts, Gravity Falls) have more to worry about than cooking, serving customers, and their kids Tina (Dan Mintz, Veep), Gene (Eugene Mirman, Flight of the Conchords) and Louise (Kristen Schaal, What We Do in the Shadows).

It features the same colourful animation that works such a treat on TV, with added shadows for a cinematic feel, plus the lively voice acting that's the heart and soul of the show - but it's its own meal, and never merely four servings of fries passed off as something more substantial.Īs always, the action centres on the film's namesake - the diner where patriarch Bob (H Jon Benjamin, Archer) sizzles up punningly named burgs to both make a living and live out his dream. Instead, this super-sized stint in the Belcher family's company sports as much care, attention to detail, plot, gags, character-building moments, in-jokes, puns and musical numbers as a 102-minute portion of Bob's Burgers needs.

Thankfully, as The Simpsons Movie and all three SpongeBob SquarePants films so far have also achieved, that isn't the case here. That can be the television-to-film curse, as Downton Abbey: A New Era demonstrated recently.

Vitally, however, it doesn't ever simply feel like a few TV episodes simmered together. With that in mind, it's a compliment to say that The Bob's Burgers Movie could've easily stayed on television, slotting in among the 238 episodes that precede it - but longer. Bouchard also knows that if you make something well enough time after time - be it a burger or a TV show that's spawned a movie both fit - it'll be warmly, reliably and welcomingly familiar rather than just another helping of the same old nosh. That'd be the goofy but extremely relatable Belcher clan, their everyday joys and struggles, and the cosy little world that sprawls around their yellow-hued Ocean Avenue burger joint up the road from seaside fairground Wonder Wharf. Co-helming with the series' frequent supervising director Bernard Derriman, and co-writing with long-running producer Nora Smith, he experiments here and there - in filmic form, Bob's Burgers is a tad darker, for instance - but he also knows what keeps his customers a-coming. It's a winning formula, and creator Loren Bouchard knows not to mess with it while taking his beloved characters to the big screen. Unsurprisingly, the show's creators whip up the same kind of dish for The Bob's Burgers Movie, too.
On the small screen since 2011, Bob's Burgers has kept its version of that very recipe close to its animated, irreverent, gleefully offbeat heart. And, crucially, it should taste as comforting as wrapping your hands around its buns feels. It definitely mustn't be overcomplicated, either. Indeed, a top-notch burg needn't be flashy. No matter what else gets slotted in (and plenty of other ingredients can), every burger's staples should be the stars of the show. There's a knack to a great burg - to a tastebud-thrilling, so-appetising-I-need-more-now example of this extremely accessible culinary art - and it's all about perfecting the absolute basics. Across its 12-season order to-date, the best episodes of Bob's Burgers have always resembled exactly what they should: a delicious serving of the meat-and-bread combination that shares the hit sitcom's name.
