Consequently, it also feels just like regular Family Guy - the same level of humour, basically - though it seemed to me like there were more scatological jokes than normal, some of them going on too long as well. With subplots that begin and end within each half-hour(-ish) segment, it plays about as well as watching a three-parter back to back… which is more than can be said for that Star Wars film.

The plot is more or less suitably movieised - despite that first-part almost-disjoint, it’s a more-epic-than-usual tale of Stewie’s origins (sort of) - though it seems slightly held back by its genesis as three TV episodes and the need for it ultimately to be split back up (it was broadcast, censored, as a three-parter at the end of the comeback season). Fortunately the Family Guy team seem to have more common sense than their Lucasfilm counterparts, choosing to link back round to the start for their film’s climax, tying it all together after all. Much like that other stitched-together-from-three-animated-TV-episodes movie, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the events of part one (or the first twenty-odd minutes) seem entirely separated from the two-parter that makes up the back hour.

This story was originally intended to form a three-part opener to the first season back, but Fox wanted a direct-to-DVD movie too - presumably to capitalise financially on that previous success - and so those three episodes were retooled into a feature.Īnd it does feel like three Family Guy episodes stitched together. This led to a rethink by Fox and a belated (as in, several years later) renewal for the animated sitcom. Following Family Guy’s cancellation after three seasons, it somehow found a new lease of life on DVD, posting surprising sales in what was, I suppose, the early years of the format’s mass take-off.
