I genuinely no joke thought yesterday: “Nobody’s hero from that one DK Country TV show is such an amazing song, I really wish it had amazing animation to go alongside it.” My prayers from yesterday have been answered
No kidding, I see DK toys in the store (including Diddy Kong) K.Rool in SSBU, the rerelease of the Gameboy & Wii games, a role in the Super Mario Movie, a DK theme park, yet still no new game.
I’m no total Donkey Kong fan myself, but I don’t want him to be without a new game in his series! Donkey Kong is pretty popular nowadays, so much that he’s considered a “Mario” character by many (to which, he technically is, since his game created the Mario series).
It's fun seeing the reasonings on both sides of the argument between liking the new design and preferring the Rareware era DK we've come to know and love. ...Honestly it was a bit weird initially, but it's starting to grow on me. The room with the brow ridge gives him a lot more potential to show emotion with expressions.
@@twoshoedtommy8054 personally I’m a fan of the old model because if you look at monkeys irl they don’t have the kind of advanced facial expressions humans have most of the time it’s all mouth movements and eye contact rather than brow movement like when’s the last time you’ve genuinely seen a monkey move their brow? That and The old model created pretty good screenshots in the brawl cutscenes
@@beauwalker9820I once made a Donkey Kong “game” idea using Super Smash Bros. Brawl’s story mode as the basis (I didn’t have programming experience yet) when I was younger
I remember hating that episode as a kid. DK gets framed for things he didn't do, gets banished to basically freeze to death for it and it's never cleared up. The other Kongs just bring him back because they need someone to fight King K Rool off. Only redeeming factor is the songs in the episode are pretty good.
He really doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who can sing given he’s been doing the same voice for the longest time and nothing else. At least in my opinion.
Let’s hope that will happen and I really want King K. Rool to be the main villain in the spinoff. I miss my favorite villain in the Donkey Kong Country series.
The reason I remember this show is because a few years back my brother made me binge the ENTIRETY of it with him. To this day, he still occasionally makes jokes about Leo Luster
Fox McCloud: Same game re-released? Donkey Kong: Yep. Fox McCloud: Refusal to bring back your girl? Donkey Kong: Yep. Fox McCloud: Nothing special on your birthday? Donkey Kong: Nope. Oh, but I did get a theme park.
@Igarappappa With its animation that was already dated in 2015? Nah men, let Alex Henderson cook. That guy knows how to make these characters look awesome.
Why am I just now realizing how good the guy voicing Kong is at singing dayum. All I knew was how bad the original animation was, but this version elevates it somehow
This is SO COOL. I always love to see DK show content, and this is no exception! I love how expressive your Donkey Kong design is, it's the perfect mix of game DK and movie DK. Amazing job!
This right here is why I subscribed. Quality animations with incredible inspiration and take on the characters. Worth every second spent watching these!
I remember from a thread long ago, somebody asked who would win a Smash Bros talent show individually. Somebody mentioned that Donkey Kong would shuffle onto the stage, acting silly and ape like with a microphone on stage, and as the lights dimmed, he would sing this. DK top tier talent.
Donkey Kong has been non-verbal with just monkey noises, had a buttery smooth and incredible singing voice, and also been Seth Rogan. What an incredible range the Kong has
DK: I didn't put it on his hole. I'm getting all the blame for being a pervert. Funky: Hold still. Fly up fly up, you don't need any baggage- OOOOOHHHHH!!! *They both crash* Game Over
The animation is great. But can somebody tell me why this song from an alright cartoon with terrible animation is so dang good? Seriously, the melody is really nice, and the guy singing it was giving it his all.
you should do an animation of a whole episode of the super mario bros super show. I think it would look really good in your animation style. you’ve already kinda proved that here with this (:
So I just found your channel randomly, and I think that this was really great. I love how DK matches how I feel about the franchise not getting a new game in a decade.
What no new Donkey Kong game in 10 years does to a man.
We’ll get one………….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. someday
TRUE!!
I would say "imagine how K. Rool feels", but we have the answer in Return to Crocodile Island
You telling me man. We feeling like DK right now.
I am an F-Zero fan. Welcome to the pit.
love how you stylized him and gave him asymmetrical joined eyes
Same. Gives me a huge TV cartoon vibe. The ones I used to binge watch as a kid. And I'm all in for it.
Same man, same.
(Also the joined eyes gives me vibes of Veggietales)
@@D4Nesquicksterlol
Agreed. Such a genius choice and really gives the character design more life, almost like in the newer Mario movie.
Has anyone else played stack the states? that's what it reminds me of
Somebody get him some coconut cream pie 😢
Ayo
way ahead of you mmm HEHEHEHEHEHE
@@ContagiousSponge
What’s so “Dirty” about coconut cream pie my guy?
You mean a Coconut Chill?
No @@ContagiousSponge 🚪👈😐🖕

What a coincidence!
That’s so convenient!
star man, star bright...
Great song, from the absolute worst episode of the series
So fr I was singing this in the shower this morning only to see this pop up in my feed lol! Masterpiece!
When Nintendo does literally EVERYTHING possible for your franchise except an actual new game.
No kidding, I see DK toys in the store (including Diddy Kong) K.Rool in SSBU, the rerelease of the Gameboy & Wii games, a role in the Super Mario Movie, a DK theme park, yet still no new game.
@@beauwalker9820best we can do is rerelease DKCR again

Same thing with Capcom and Mega Man
Mega Man: Welcome to the club.
Switch 2 announcement made this DK model canon
I kinda agree. I still think they are keeping the original design.

DK when he sees he's getting another Country Returns re-release instead of a new game
Lmao yeah
It's better than nothing, and I guess it's nice it has the 3DS enhancements, and secret levels.
@@beauwalker9820I once made a Donkey Kong “game” idea using Super Smash Bros. Brawl’s story mode as the basis (I didn’t have programming experience yet) when I was younger
@@supreme-ss777 what was the idea!?
@@neoentertainment4957 Just Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong teaming up to save Sonic from Tabuu.
I just realized: DK says he’s absolute zero while he’s in the arctic. Regardless of if that’s intentional that’s pretty clever.

What’s it called?
@@NazotheGodofChaos the episode’s “king for a day”
You ain’t the only one to hate this episode. Others share your sentiment.
And they didn't apologize for not listening DK.
@ yeah that’s what people are pissed about the most
This makes me now want to see more songs from the show re-animated.
Same
Have it be a collab as well
Metal Head would be a good one.
@@OngoingTalent13 I was thinking too.
I think Donkey Kong needs a hug.
The Big Fella very much needs a hug.
Buddy if you hugged a gorilla you'd be dead 💀 (but fr he does)
@
True but DK could potentially heavily hold back from Crushing him
Didn't notice Funky flipping him off at first, lol.
Wow, that's a "blink and you'll miss it" thing. Well spotted
This is because in the episode his reputation was ruined because of King K Rool and made it seem like he’s a jerk
Good eye.
If Seth Rohan sings this in the DK Spin-off movie, I will lose it.
Seth Rogan is a coward and refuses to do voices, there's not a chance I'm afraid 😔
@ probably not on the spot, but maybe if he had some prep time.
He really doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who can sing given he’s been doing the same voice for the longest time and nothing else. At least in my opinion.
Let’s hope that will happen and I really want King K. Rool to be the main villain in the spinoff. I miss my favorite villain in the Donkey Kong Country series.
He'll never be able to match the original song
Rare DK after he got replaced by classic DK
Can’t believe someone thought “Hey let’s make a DK show a musical.”
tbf dkc is very well known for its moody music, so there's a bit of a throughline (even if unintentional)
Genuinely great song. Glad to see it animated in your style.
The only real issue with it is that I wish the song was longer
@ word
“I don’t know what everyone wants me to be, I only know just how to be me” hits so hard
Basically how DK feels because of how Nintendo has treated him for over a decade.
I adore how expressive you make DK's eyes especially, alongside the strong poses emphasizing his glum confusion.
Hearing this with actual good animation makes it so much more genuine
I’m glad this show was somehow remembered lmao 0:24 also same bud
The reason I remember this show is because a few years back my brother made me binge the ENTIRETY of it with him. To this day, he still occasionally makes jokes about Leo Luster
Fox McCloud: Same game re-released?
Donkey Kong: Yep.
Fox McCloud: Refusal to bring back your girl?
Donkey Kong: Yep.
Fox McCloud: Nothing special on your birthday?
Donkey Kong: Nope. Oh, but I did get a theme park.
OH MY GOD! DK, WATCH OUT!!!
NNNNEEEEEERRRRR KAAABOOOOOOOMMM!
When Nintendo announces the Switch 2 in the same day as the biggest spotlight of your franchise in 6 years 😭
Need a DK show reboot
Like Sonic Boom.
Careful what you wish for in this kids cartoon economy
Uhhhh, no. Not in today's climate.
They could totally pull it off
@Igarappappa
With its animation that was already dated in 2015? Nah men, let Alex Henderson cook. That guy knows how to make these characters look awesome.
he’s canon now
The DK show is so weird but enjoyable at the same time.
minus the episode this song’s from, but the song’s great
Things weren’t the same, after the low sales for DKC Returns’ Switch version.
you underestimate the power of the Theme Park Boost
The game isn’t even out yet
Personally i think the Returns port won't do well but it's just my opinion
DKCRHD Isn’t out yet, so there’s hope for Nintendo to improve it before 2025.
If this animator did a 10 minute Nintendo feature, they would be unstoppable
Crazy how much better it gets, just from having a proper, on model version of DK
Why am I just now realizing how good the guy voicing Kong is at singing dayum. All I knew was how bad the original animation was, but this version elevates it somehow
Donkey Kong hasn't been the same since diddy Kong's allegations
Gotta be the best song in the show. Amazing.
Donkey Kong Fans Every Day:
The one definitive good thing that came from the Donkey Kong Country Show
That, and King K. Rool is a pretty hilarious villain.
There’s some other good songs too
@@supercamborg4218 Like, the Diddy Drop Rap, and the one where Donkey Kong learns he switched bodies with a robot.
I thought this was a normal song you randomly put to Donkey Kong, how the fuck was something this good chilling in the DKC show xD
Our ape just wants a new game… is that too much to ask?
I like how the one thing everyone can agree on about the DKC cartoon series is that DK had a genuinely really good singing voice
Donkey Kong when his Country Returns for the 3rd time
I'd love it if someone took it upon themselves to form a team to basically reanimate the entire Donkey Kong Country tv series.
The potential that this may lead to a remaster of Leo Lusters song has given me another reason to live.
The fact that with a few minor lyric changes this could’ve been a radio hit
God this is immaculate. This also convinced me that donkey Kong should have his asymmetrical eyes again.
i love the homage to the goofy mouth motions of the original tv show while also making them easy on the eyes
Donkey Kong when he doesn't get a new game the next nintendo console.
A somewhat accurate depiction of DK being a punching bag for combos in Smash Ultimate for 6 years.
Donkey Kong when he doesn't show up in any of the new main line Mario games
The DK county songs are so good and seeing it animated makes me want to see all the songs re-animated
Original animation may be outdated but the songs were bangers.
“I’m telling ya, vendor, if that guy’s voice actor were to ever cut a solo record, it would’ve been a hit!”
They did not need to go this hard with the vocals
It’s nice to see DK animated with this much emotion
Bro MIGHT make a reboot of the DKC series.
If this is what the animation of the show looked like I would actually look at it instead of looking away
Cranky Kong: MY GRANDBOY CAN SING!?😲🤯
Diddy Kong: He never told me that!😧
Candy Kong: How charming.🥰😍
Bluster Kong: how silly
The world has so many wonderful things. Like this song. Like you for showing it to thousands who may not have before. Let's go!
For God's sake. Nintendo, hire this man for the DK 64 remake.
As always, I love the expressions you give the characters.
I had no idea how amazing DK could sing
This is SO COOL. I always love to see DK show content, and this is no exception! I love how expressive your Donkey Kong design is, it's the perfect mix of game DK and movie DK. Amazing job!
The fact the song was from the actual Donkey Kong Country cartoon makes me feel sorry for DK not getting another game that isn't a rerelease
Man, this hits even harder than the original 😢
You'll always be my hero, DK!
I feel bad for DK. He got blamed by his friends and his father for the bad things he didn't do.
I know, right? Outside of this song, this is probably my least favorite episode in the show.
This is indeed the plot of the episode
@@NerdyChocolateLabradoodle Least favorite episode, indeed.
Now I want to see Road to Success and Metal Head in this style.
This right here is why I subscribed. Quality animations with incredible inspiration and take on the characters. Worth every second spent watching these!
Nice. There's so much personality in his face, it's so good!
DK after going 10 years without a new game
And he will still be forgotten, just like captain commando and MegaMan...
I remember from a thread long ago, somebody asked who would win a Smash Bros talent show individually.
Somebody mentioned that Donkey Kong would shuffle onto the stage, acting silly and ape like with a microphone on stage, and as the lights dimmed, he would sing this.
DK top tier talent.
Now i wanna see the rest of the songs from the show done like this
Imagine this as a game over screen
Now that I've heard this song again, it isn't as bad of an acid trip as I remember it being.
Donkey Kong has been non-verbal with just monkey noises, had a buttery smooth and incredible singing voice, and also been Seth Rogan. What an incredible range the Kong has
A perfect gift for Donkey Kong December
The songs in this show had no right being as good as they were
Poor Donkey Kong.
DK: I didn't put it on his hole. I'm getting all the blame for being a pervert.
Funky: Hold still. Fly up fly up, you don't need any baggage- OOOOOHHHHH!!! *They both crash*
Game Over
The subtle pixelation makes it look like a cutscene from a Wii or 3DS game, pretty cool effect :D
If he doesn't say I'm nobody's hero in the dk movie we riot
Gosh, I absolutely adore this! Seriously, I love how expressive Donkey Kong is here. You've done the original song justice with this animation!
I'm hoping this video gets more views, Donkey Kong singing is the best thing this world has to offer.
Dude that ending was so sad, DK is not okay 😢
I empathize with this Kong. Would give him a hug.
Being able to sing along to the words on the first viewing is a joy
Holy crap, you actually animated the whole thing! Respect. X3
The animation is great. But can somebody tell me why this song from an alright cartoon with terrible animation is so dang good? Seriously, the melody is really nice, and the guy singing it was giving it his all.
When DK doesn't get a new game once again.
I guess his kong family misjudged DK
you should do an animation of a whole episode of the super mario bros super show. I think it would look really good in your animation style. you’ve already kinda proved that here with this (:
This is Donkey Kong after he was shipped out of New Donk City.
You are still a hero to us DK, Nintendo must give this powerhouse a new game already and not a re-release of a game from 2010.
The Donkey Kong Movie needs to be a musical.
I only know just how to be me. That hits deep.
Donkey Kong should canonically have a beautiful singing voice in the illumination movies
they really cooked in the studio when writing this song
this was so good i really like how you captured the look and feel of the original animation good video
the donkey kong denture crowd needs to see this
So I just found your channel randomly, and I think that this was really great. I love how DK matches how I feel about the franchise not getting a new game in a decade.
Donkey Kong realizing he made a mistake not snitching on Diddy about the parties:
Missed opportunity to have Funky Kong flip off DK as he flies by
