action
Bob and Louise see a man in the market who they mistake to be Shinji Kojima, a Japanese actor who played Hawk & Chick Hawk on their favorite show together . They follow him to a hotel, where it turns out that their guess was correct. When Shinji asks her about a good restaurant, Bob recommends his own. In the restaurant, the Belcher family is watching an episode of Hawk & Chick with Shinji. Shinji then explains that he is looking for his daughter Yuki Kojima, who played Hawk's daughter Chick and who later emigrated with her mother to the USA, where she now works as a tax advisor .
Bob and Louise decide to host a Hawk & Chick film festival at the local cinema, but the cinema owner refuses. However, the employee Dominic explains to them that they can use the cinema after midnight when the owner has left the building. Since Bob does not have an ad-free copy, Dominic agrees to get a reel of one of the episodes. Bob and Louise then visit Yuki and try to convince her to come to the film festival. Yuki refuses because she is not interested in seeing her father again. When the two claim Shinji won't come, Yuki agrees. Dominic has now organized a copy, but it is an original Japanese version without subtitles. Bob then types the translation so that he and his family can record a dubbed version on a tape recorder.
The Belchers take Yuki and Shinji to the cinema separately so that Yuki doesn't see her father. However, while the film is being shown, the cassette recorder's batteries will run down so the original soundtrack can be heard. Bob decides to live dub the rest of the episode with his family. When Yuki then wants to leave the cinema, Shinji reveals himself and they both speak out. Louise fears that she and her father might grow apart just as Shinji and Yuki do. Bob reassures her by telling her that this fate will not happen to them.
reception
Alasdair Wilkins of the AV Club rated the episode an "A" and wrote that it "does a wonderful job of taking something from quite a distance and putting it in orbit of the Belchers;" it may be a little arbitrary for a Japanese child actress to immigrate to the United States and become a tax advisor in a sleepy seaside town in New Jersey , but if that's the plan needed to get the story rolling, so be it Wilkins sees it as a central issue that Dominic could only organize a copy without subtitles or dubbing , so that Bob himself has to record a dubbed version with his family. The fact that the batteries run out during the demonstration “enables an even more confidential connection between the two father-daughter relationships. Kristen Schaal has seldom been better than while subconsciously saying how afraid Louise is that Chick's fate could eventually be her own, and H. Jon Benjamin is a perfect fit when Bob realizes during the dubbing that all of this is may not be about what he thought. "In his opinion," 'Hawk & Chick' [...] is a very real contender for the cutest episode in the series' history "and" a gem. "
When it was first broadcast, the episode reached 1.95 million viewers and a target group rating of 0.9 percent. This makes it the fifth most-watched show that evening on Fox after Brooklyn Nine-Nine , a second episode of Bob's Burgers , The Simpsons and Family Guy .
Schaal received an Annie Award for Outstanding Achievement, Voice Acting in an Animated TV / Broadcast Production for her role as Louise in this episode .
