You want more DKC? We're planning to watch Season 2 on Twitch live, in just an hour, over on www.twitch.tv/dazzvideos! Come check it out for yourself. If you can stomach more.
Uhh dazz the animation looks had because it was one of the first animation with body tracking. Cranky Kong? His name is Bubbles and King Croco... Yeah the cartoon changed some names. The TH-camr Shimtex explained some more things about the cartoon.
The same voice actor also voices Rad in Ok KO. I only found this out because of the episode where he falls in love with the evil robot girl and they sing a duet. It is glorious.
10:20 ...So, are we just gonna ignore the fact that this TV show just made an *incredibly* misplaced reference to the biblical story of Samson? Like, the one with the dude who has super strength due to the fact that his hair was never cut?? And his girlfriend cuts his hair in the end? Are you telling me that an incredibly bizarre _Donkey Kong Television show just _*_casually_*_ made a reference to the bible???_ WHAT DID THE BOARD MEETINGS BEHIND THE WRITING OF THIS SHOW _LOOK_ LIKE...?????

@Dry Boi Agreed, it really is wholesome. As for me, my favorite episode would have to be “The Curse of Kongo Bongo” considering the extremely high stakes that Kongo Bongo Island was in, with it being all up to DK and Diddy to save the island from sinking.
I grew up with this show and yes, there are many flaws and unnecessary things in it, but it’s still hard for me to say that I hate this show. This was part of my childhood, and always will be.
Can I be honest, the show wasn't that bad but the animation wasn't that good. Candy Kong looks nowhere near her game counterparts and Dixie Kong looks nowhere like her game counterparts either.
Beast Wars kind of gets away with it at times because the characters are robots and don't look as off as a result (saying this as someone who didn't grow up with the show), but their beast modes and the proto humans have not aged well at all.
You act like this wasn’t one of the first CG shows ever made. I thought it was pretty good for the time. It matched the graphics from the games, which was awesome. Not only was the show very fateful to the games (unlike other video game cartoons as the time) it also added elements to future games like donkey Kong 64. maybe you are a little young to appreciate what it was?
Well this guy think we should all agree with him, but that dumbest thing I ever heard I love that Rare made this show that something charm and I mean it would been popular if America loved it would have made Season 3, but I heard France, Canada and Japan were popular for this show.
I heard about this show and it was pretty funny and good. It may look bad, but you gotta admit, that's how 3d animation looked back in the day. Beast wars also looked like this and it was still good
The first impression we get of Candy is her taking a birthday cake a guy made for her and destroying it. It might’ve worked if it showed how much of a jerk he was beforehand, but this is our introduction to both characters
I might get martyred for this but I think this show is kinda fun. I actually think the animation isn’t that bad, i think the over the top expressions and movements are pretty funny. The songs are good honestly, DKs singing is god like and i could totally listen to it when I’m not watching the show. I’m just glad this show exists.
Fun fact: You can often see where the animators removed parts of models that they figured wouldn't be seen to presumably save space or remdering. King K Rools stomach color is a whole seperate model, it clips through his chest often
I mean, people think this show is bad because they always watch the first chapter (which is one of the weakest). From Chapter 7 and on the show begins to massively gain quality. Some chapters are great, like the one where they have to send a time capsule to the moon, the one where Bluster creates a love potion that everyone ends up drinking, or that one where DK wishes he didn't exist. Give it a try, people.
Maybe it's just that I grew up on old ugly cgi but for some reason this is not ugly to me. I feel like I watched something that looks very similar to this when I was little.
The sad thing is that this isn't the only example of horrifying computer animated drek from this time period. In the early 90's kids animation almost completely switched overnight to computer stuff, and shows like this were a dime a dozen. There were so many kids' movies and TV shows that had the same crap, barely animated computer rendered junk, with humor that was on par with this one shoehorned in. It got even worse when they started using motion capture. You started to see characters animated as horrible and terrifying looking as they are in this show, but moving very unnaturally like people. It was strange, but the more motion capture they used, the worse and more horrifying the animation got.
Don't hide behind it being a guilty pleasure, now that the cultist who endlessly pushed there anti DKC show agenda have faded back into the hellfire in which they spawned, we can show are love and appreciation of gods greatest creation for the whole world to see. Amen
I do feel the show is legitimately funny, but I find it to be so stupid that I can't help but laugh at its bad writing. There is an episode where Donkey Kong loses his memory thanks to a bonk on the head and is convinced he is a crocodile thanks to a musical number about crocodile features he clearly doesn't possess.
Donkey Kong Country lore:Villain steals bananas and sometimes his friends and Donkey Kong or Diddy and Dixie or Dixie and Kiddy have to save him or it’s Donkey Kong and Diddy and other characters who need to save the day. That’s it
I remember figuring out about the first episode due to how hilarious it was that bald DK has little horn growths on his head under his hair instead of a spherical scalp.
I know this sounds wrong since I'm still a DK fan that enjoys watching gameplay videos of Donkey Kong games and also I understand nobody likes cartoons nowadays too but I can really use another Donkey Kong cartoon right about now and better yet maybe if it works? it could get either the Sonic X or Sonic Prime treatment imo.
The reason this show looks weird is because it was actually the first ever TV show to be rendered entirely in CG (and characters were animated via mocap).
The scary thing is... there's 3 seasons.............. like it technically the same stuff but it ends differently, hench why the last episode of season 2 is just another normal episode. 😂😭
You have broke my heart! I was about to unsubscribe to your channel! I like the show! Sure it is not perfect, but it provided me with a few laughs. It wanted to try something new, take the series in a new perspective, can't you just appreciate that. I understand that the animation is not the best, but they had little to work with and they were experimenting with new animation technology.
Hey! In their defense, the crystal coconut was essential to complete DK64 and the abilities the coconut crystals powered were AMAZING! I still wish I had a barrel jet pack like Diddy did in DK64. I also have a soft spot for this show cos me n my sis bought a vhs boxset at the thrift store and honed our English this way (we only spoke Spanish back then). It didn't look so ugly when I was a kid.
Thankyou for standing up for all that is holy, the hate campaign spawned by those demons has raged on for far to long. The DKC tv show is the greatest piece of media anyone will ever experience.
"HEY DK, GET A LOAD OF WHAT I FIGURED OUT!" "what is it diddy?" "lanky kong is lanky, chunky kong is chunkey, SUS kong is SUS, cranky kong is cranky!" "hey. that is pretty funny! did you tell anybody else?" "yeah, I told dixie." "what did she say?" "uhhh Something about driving the Feds outta Chickamaga" "HAHAHA- wait.." **scene cuts to show dixie kong with gun**
As far as video game tv shows go, this is easily one of the best. Don’t you go dissing Donkey Kong Country. I adore every episode of this show completely unironically.

I actually have a love/hate relationship with that moment for how completely insane it was.
"why is there a religious reference in this religious show"
"hey you know what parents like? the Bible! so why don't we make a reference to a story in it, and have kids think of our show when they read it!"
Imagine what Banjo Kazooei and Conker's shows could've been like with this animation ESPECIALLY the crossover episodes that could've been!
I would prefer BK to have been animated by DIC entertainment in the same way Sonic SATAM was.

The internet's love for this show is like a golden banana

Terrible is an understatement
