The Donkey Kong Country Cartoon: Canada's Greatest Achievement

[@R2ninjaturtle]

As a long-time genuine fan of this show, it was so refreshing to hear a video essay on it that was so positive and loving towards it - not to mention it was EXTREMELY well researched, I learned so much and now I'm diving down the rabbit hole of Nelvana music looking for DKC soundtrack bits, haha. Great job with this dude, so much respect.

[@TheCartoonGamer8000]

Thanks so much! Yeah, I was getting tired of all the negative videos on it, and given my perspective was a bit more unique, I wanted to use everything to my advantage to make this one stand out from the crowd. Oh, and if you haven't seen it, you might be interested in my Rise of the Turtles video (just given your username and whatnot!). Thanks again!

[@rileygarraway87]

Agreed about this guy he's definitely a fan

[@rileygarraway87]

​@@TheCartoonGamer8000you are a great guy love it that you are a fan my favorite characters were ditty Kong Candy Kong because she was sexy and I was younger at that time and love k rool Donkey Kong and yeti Kong and how they don't like him as much as a family member I don't like bluster Kong though because of how much he complains about stuff

[@shinkenger2011]

I know everyone rags on this show so much that at this point theyre beating dried blood splatter on the ground that was at one point a dead horse, but honestly it's still a good time. Even if you aren't watching it ironically there are actually a lot of genuinely funny jokes. Plus the voice-acting for everyone is fantastic (my particular favourites being Ben Campbell as K. Rool and the late Aron Tager as Cranky, those are the canon voices as far as I'm concerned) And cmon... it has Leo Luster, you cant beat that.

[@paulgilbert5278]

“Man, it hurts to be this hip”

[@MalWave]

whoever hired Benedict Campbell to play K. Rool deserves a retroactive raise

[@mesousagaby740]

Oh, yeah, no wonder Erika Strobel's name looks familiar to me; she wrote during the golden age of Total Drama Island, writing 6 episodes. which makes the slight 6Teen connectoin here even funnier. She unforutnately passed away in 2017, so rest in piece, Erika.

[@montyheisenberg36]

Yeah, she committed suicide

[@fireflowerfilms2010]

Sad what happened to her. Return to Krocodile isle was dedicated to her memory along with Aron tager and len Carlson.

[@JRS06]

In all honesty, I'd love to see the return of Bluster Kong. He could be an interesting anti-hero who could perhaps help or harm DK depending on the context. If Illumination makes a Donkey Kong movie, it'd be great too see him make a cameo or even a large role. Hopefully the afforementioned film can carry on the legacy of the show and improve its concepts.

[@sunsetlover123-y7c]

I could see Bluster being that Egoistical, jealous rival to DK, not anyone necessarily evil, just a bit of a jerk. Like Daffy Duck or Wario.

So glad you praised the music! Always thought it was great haha

[@ArrisonChan]

I rented this as a kid on VHS and man.. I remember mostly just being confused as to why Candy is so mean when on the contrary, she just blows you kisses in DKC itself lol

[@CherrySteinz]

I was forced to watch this entire show after my friends got addicted to the songs through Vinny's stream. We're all die-hard fans now needless to say. It's kind of ridiculous how often I catch myself humming or getting these songs stuck in my head. I don't know, there was something so charming about the mocap, and my favorite thing about animated media has always been voice acting so the cast really really made the whole experience for me. King K. Rool is a genuinely good villain, and Donkey Kong's personality is my absolute favorite interpretation of him ever. I am disappointed Nintendo didn't latch onto these versions of the characters. At least they altered K Rool to resemble the cartoon version I've heard!

[@TheCartoonGamer8000]

Nice to hear you're a fan, but I have no idea where you heard that K. Rool claim from. No one from the games took any traits from the show going forward.

[@DuskusCB]

4:23 to be fair, K. Rool is usually depicted without a tail in the games. Especially the early ones.

[@TheCartoonGamer8000]

The early ones do show him with a tail in renders and sprites (when it's not covered). Still bothers me regardless.

[@BladeBlur]

It's nice to hear both an objective and positive outlook on the show. All the reviews I have seen of it have been very harsh considering the dated animation, but it was one of the first too. And to this day, the NO! part of "Eddie Let me Go Back to My Home" has been a staple in my streams. Wish it got to Israel like many of Nelvana's offerings but alas.

[@TheCartoonGamer8000]

Thx for the review🙏

[@andrewhaywood1262]

I had never watched this show until about 2017 when I saw all the memes that were spawned from it, and I gotta say, if I'd been born a few years earlier and seen it on FOX Family, I would've loved every second of it, as Nelvana cartoons were a huge part of my childhood. And thank you for giving the voice cast the recognition they deserve, especially Benedict Campbell & Adrian Truss, as I've always felt that they're super-underrated. I remember them from other Nelvana cartoons such as _Berenstain Bears_ and _Rolie Polie Olie_ respectively, and felt they really knocked it outta the park in this show, making the most of a short forty-episode run. Also I'm shocked you didn't include this nugget from the show's lore. It's so bizarre yet hilarious: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGjclmhoadZ2pLssi=jK1wQ38iPfYbVvkf

Fun Fact: The Intro For the Japanese Dub Of the Show was in hands of BANANA ICE, wich By fun fact things, ALSO COMPOSED THE SONGS FOR THE JAPANESE CUTSCENE SONGS FROM CRASH BANDICOOT 3 IN JAPAN. That because after defeating a Boss in the japanese Version of Crash Bandicoot 3 (wich interestingly had His Plot somewhat changed From a Time travel adventure To a Global Troting adventure) Anyways, At the end of each of all of those Musical animated videos it is Showed that the People of Banana Ice Composed Those songs, And they Even Compose The iconic Japanese crash Bandicoot Song.

[@hippiechik95]

This show was really my introduction to Donkey Kong as a character and not just a thing I’d see on t-shirts and being referenced in other media. At some point someone gave me and my brother the Legend of the Crystal Coconut VHS when we were kids, and we watched that tape religiously. We’d never seen anything like it before, and I’d say there’s never truly been anything like it since! It’s always gonna have a special place in my heart.

[@Nonjola]

I wonder how racist and sexist he early scrips were. This is the 90s we are talking about. Nowadays characters such as Mumbo Jumbo and Humba Wumba, if we want to stick with games, created by Rare, are considered very offensive by people. I can not image how insulting the stuff was these writers came up with in that time.

[@naomi9606]

People love having such negative dialogue about pieces of media like this but forget how innovative the show was. It’s better for art to have weird experimental shows that are hit or miss than just copying the same equation over and over.

This is like something like Ren & Stimpy or the old Sonic cartoon. It's not meant to be artistic. It's meant to be something to turn off your brain and simply have fun.

[@finchvink]

Very happy to see someone talk about the show without making fun of it... it's a huge special interest of mine - Donkey Kong in general, really, but the show especially! I helped preserve some of the Dutch dub and have some rare promotional/unreleased material of it. There's some stuff here that's new to me, so that's very cool to see! I'm also pleasantly surprised to see you bringing up how the first few episodes felt super clunky because of its weird development, I always thought I was the only one to notice that. Some of the middle-time episodes of the first season(s) (depending on who you ask, the show has either 2 or 3 seasons...) are genuinely pretty great, good stakes and fun stuff, and the songs are a lot of fun, probably an influence to my interest in comedy music. When I was really into it, some episodes were really hard to find, notably Speed and Baby Kong Blues. They showed up one time in really poor quality and the very small fanbase kinda dealt with that for a while. I spent a lot of afternoons trying to find Any sort of way to watch them in better quality. So I'm super glad it's now freely available on KZbin. My goodness, I could ramble about this silly show all day... thank you for this video! I see a lot of people I remember in the comments as well, so it's nice to see a celebration of it for once. Alex Henderson is my hero.

Something interesting that you didn't mention is that the infamous "Our Love is Stronger Than a Golden Banana" song was actually sang by Richard Yearwood himself, one of very few in the whole show that Jarvis didn't sing. But regardless of that, this was a great video and as a fan of the show myself i approve.

A lot of the jokes were funny and a lot of the songs were really catchy, some of my favorite songs being Nobody’s Hero, The Road to Success and Metalhead. I even enjoyed the Japanese intro theme, and while I don’t know the name of the song, I think the group that sang it was called Banana Ice (correct me if I’m wrong).

[@Frisket]

Great job on this video! Learned a ton I didn't know about the series. The troubled start and re-work of the first run of episodes was especially interesting. I remember as a kid seeing promos for this show before it aired on Teletoon. My initial excitement was through the roof! I had played so much DKC with my dad prior to this. The joy of seeing those video game characters and objects brought to life in glorious early CGI is hard to properly articulate. I was born in 91 so I would have been 6-7 when this aired. The prime age for it probably. That being said, even as a kid I eventually thought the show kinda sucked, maybe even found it annoying. But still an interesting moment in Canadian television history. I actually work at Nelvana now. Have done for the last 5 years and have even worked with Mike Fallows on a couple of shows (I think maybe he is retired now) so it was kinda surreal to see him pop up in this haha. Banana Slamma!

I’m just having fun with the title, is all.

[@Clemehl]

I believe the show was initially French, then translated to English. Filled with "second degré" humor, and reference to French pop-culture, all of this didn't made it in the English dub which left this empty shell of a show. I blame the localizer to not properly localize the cartoon. I would even say the translator were lazy because _"It'S fOr KiDz WhY bOtHeR!!§"_ For exemple, King K. Rool is pronounced King Karool because... the letter K in French is pronounced _Ka_ and not _Kay._ Or Kongo Bong island is probably a nod to a the French singer Manu Chao who released his song _King of Bongo_ (in 1991), itself being a hommage to the title and lyrics taken from the 1939 jazz song "King of Bongo Bong" by Black American trumpeter Roy Eldridge. DKTV was also a french TV show using the same tech that allow to bridge cartoon. They also have some "play" inbetween with a lot of that "second degré". Which is a very French humor. Basically, it is either absurd or black humor which aim to denounce a behavior. The first segment about the cartoon being filled with Racing humor but (-st instead of -ng for racing) was probably an attempt to attempt to denounce the mentality (by making fun of the intolerant or ignorant one), but being seen by the American as enforcing the mentality (by assuming we are meant to admire the problematic one). I wouldn't say the French one is good though. I tried to watch it. Yeah... let's say it was another time period.
