- By now a lot of you probably know that Donkey Kong got a CGI cartoon in the late 90s that was...interesting to say the least. So, after having reviewed the anthology VHS film The Legend of the Crystal Coconut, now it's time to talk about the very first episodes of the show! And well...ITS A LOT. BANANAS, you could say.

I have digital versions of all 40 episodes, and I feel like the show does get better as it goes along.
A lot of people also tend to agree that the animation and lip syncing greatly improve in the second season, but I agree with you. I don't like how everyone looks like plastic!
So the same scene where Bluster pours out the potion, I can't believe you dashed past Bluster saying "there's sand in my shoes", even though no one wears shoes in the show. Reebok be damned.
RUclips seems to think this is about Donkey Kong 64, but it was the game that had crystal coconuts and inspired Cranky's potion making so makes sense I guess.
Thank you all for watching! Let me know if there's any other video game cartoons/movies you'd love for me to talk about!
This was fun to watch. Thank you
If someone tried to explain this cartoon to me without this video I would not believe them.... WOW. Thanks for sharing this with us Faux!
Thank you for watching!
Donkey Kong's shaved head, a thing of nightmares....
GENUINELY terrifying
I mean, it makes sense that Cranky used to look similar to Donkey Kong. He is the original Donkey Kong after all. Kind of wish they acknowledged that in the Mario Movie but maybe having two characters named Donkey Kong and one of them changing their name would be too confusing.
10:47 Halfway in.
16:47 Of course the island has mountains! Have you not played Donkey Kong Country? There are mountains in it.
1. I've never seen a DVD menu with a freaking time limit before! That's so unnecessarily stressful.
2. Why did they just make DK Samson from the bible? That's what the whole cut his hair to get rid of his strength thing is referencing. I don't really see a connection so it's just kinda random.
3. As far as other video game cartoons go, that old Rayman show gives off similar vibes to DK and I think it would be cool to see you check it out. Unrefined CG, doesn't have jack shit to do with the games, changes how certain characters act, puts in its own new characters, etc. Although I have no idea where you can find it these days.
Oh man I FORGOT about the Rayman cartoon. Adding it to the list!
Reboot was a CGI show too, from the 90s.
Kong-Quer's Bad Fur Day
Just when you though it couldn't get more insane. What WAS this show?!
It's kind of amazing how it went this wild in the FIRST FOUR EPISODES. Like how???
I love some of the songs, DK is the best character in this show.
this cartoon is no doubt flawed however in retrospect, i'm kind of glad it exists since i got into donkey kong in my childhood i always wanted a donkey kong movie or TV show of some sort so this show is basically an answer to prayer...now with the success of the recent super mario bros movie chances are we MAY get a donkey kong country movie....but if it's anything like the mario movie then i probably shouldn't expect much from it
and to think, that when i was young i thought candy kong was dk's AUNT and not his significant other....it was watching this cartoon that i was finally proven wrong.....though looking back at this childhood headcanon i'm starting to wish it WAS canon as i feel it would have fixed some criticism i have towards this cartoon regarding characterization.....or would it
Oh this is the DVD I have!
Great Video and glad I watched it! Whhat IS your take on the Zelda TV show, AND the RUclips Poops that were spawned from it?
I actually have the complete series of The Legend of Zelda cartoon on DVD (it was only 13 episodes) but I've still never watched it!
@@FauxRetro Oh man, a first time Reaction :o
Great video , so funny!
Thank you!
I know this show came out in 1997, but Toy Story had an amazing CGI and it came 2 years before Donkey Kong Country
In this case that's a feature-film budget vs. a TV animation budget. For its time, DKC looks pretty impressive.
@@FauxRetro agree
Not to mention they used mocap which was in a MUCH more primitive state than traditional CGI back then
L…. Love WHAT NOW?! I’m sorry this was supposed to be a Christian minecraft server show
They made FORTY EPISODES of this! Will the wonders of the '90s never cease!
Why does Candy’s hair look like muscle fibers
Why can I only see muscle fibers
Someone put some skin on Candy
Well I can't un-see that now
This is insane omg, I can not believe all the nonsense that happens in this lmfao!
Candy is the worst character. She’s super ugly, temperamental and constantly treats DK and the others like crap but expects help nonetheless. It got to the point I was hoping she would get together with Bluster so she could be treated like trash by him
No. It’s not impressive. It looks awful and I love every bit of it
Candy Kong is just some Puerto Rican chick.
I love this show. The haters can shove off
This show was magical for it's time. 🪄
