It's Spring Break, and Mordecai and Rigby aren't exactly stoked to be watching over the The Park while the rest of the crew kicks back, grills hot dogs, and wears awesome tank tops. Once Benson busts them for slacking off and allowing vandals to ransack the park, Rigby snaps...and when he discovers a mysterious genie lamp, it's time for Benson to learn his lesson. But be careful what you wish for! Jump in for a wild, wish-fueled adventure that will take the gang from the farthest reaches of Genie Beach to the shrunk-down gumball-scape inside Benson's head!

Hippie spring happiness. Water guns, concert fest, flower crowns. Stretched out, expressive characters are funny. CJ looks nice. Lots of 2010ish phrases though. Do you even lift, shutter shades, jokes. The mini is sweet w/ Rigby lookin' like a stuffed animal and running for local office to get out of park chores--though it ends too abruptly.
Anchor arms. They should've said yoked, not swole, to keep the '10s slang. Mentioning Twitter seems too weird though. Like at least call it Tweeter as the show woulda. Nice to see Benson's side of life. Pretty backgrounds in the mini. The other mini has a fun set up of TPing a tree in a storm.
The second half feels just like the show's humor. Cute end even if it's sappier than normal. There's an end mini that looks like GameBoy graphics made in intricate marker. I don't like how the panels are tiny and even like numbers on a landline, or how the expressions can look kinda evil, but love a fair theme. Surprised I haven't really seen them try to get jobs elsewhere before. Their friends being in danger didn't seem that imminent, like a throwaway line for the end.
