I really like looking back at the 90's-early 2000's days where companies were trying to break into every medium they could. Why can't we have that again?
@@Bagel920 Cause companies nowadays are risk-averse. They want to maximize profits and minimize loss by being as strategic with market penetration as possible as opposed to doing anything and everything in the hopes something sticks. It's good for them, but it sucks on a creative level as all projects, big or small, require capital investment, meaning we likely will never see truly outlandish ideas or projects ever again with an existing intellectual property.
Years and years later, I still think it's crazy that an officially licensed Nintendo product took the Biblical Old Testament story of Samson and made it about Donkey Kong. I'm disappointed he didn't beat anyone to death with the jawbone of a donkey, but maybe that would have confused viewers.
Well back in the era that this show was made, that was the look. It wasn’t truck stop crack addict, it was a crack addict you could take home to ma. You could respectfully bring her to your home where your family did crack as well. So they could be like “Mmm yes a decent fellow crack addict.” Truck stop crack addicts back in this show’s era looked totally different.
Somebody thought of that. A real person sat down and thought "what if his hair is actually his skull, with hair on it?" He wrote that idea down, and showed it to somebody else, and that other person looked at it and said "yes, yes let's put that into the show." At least one Nintendo lawyer knew about this idea before it was executed. It happened anyway. This idea made it past storyboarding, dialogue recording, and animation. An editor put it together. A LOT of people were involved in making that idea become a reality. I just don't understand the world anymore.
This should be Donkey kong's final smash in smash switch, where everything just stops and all the kongs sing a musical number about friendship And any foe within earshot instantly trips on a banana peel, ruining their friendship with donkey kong forever
Wait a second...... *flashbacks to Super Smash Bros Brawl* Oh my gosh..... The reason you trip in Brawl is because Donkey Kong put invisible banana peels on the ground.... what a monster.
The strangest part of this show is that despite how fucking horrible and weird it is..The dude who sings as Donkey Kong is legitimately really talented. That's a great voice.
does anybody know the name??? it was an animated series in this same style of 3D render graphics, I can only remember the main characters were animals that shapeshifted into vehicle forms, kinda like transformers but animal shapes
I really like that Dunkey is laughing about that being Dixie while she looks like she is about to cry. Like she can hear his mockery. Also, Donkey Kong's sad song is too good for this show.
If I recall correctly, that was actually supposed to be a thing from the beginning, but this cartoon went ahead and took it seriously/confirmed it as canon. Fucking weird shit, I know.
This cartoon almost won an animation award for its animation, but was disqualified because they thought mocap didn't count as animation at the time. Did they retroactively take awards away from everything rotoscoped after that decision? :P

which is weird right after I randomly remembered of Beast Wars there was announcement of a game based on it, that setting gonna be perfect for a videogame
Look up "I'm a metalhead." There is even a vid without diddy kong's horrific voice. The singer for donkey Kong is fantastic, and that aforementioned song is catchy as all get out.
DONKEY KONG DECEMBER, DONKEY KONG DECEMBER, I need to let the universe know this. I attempted to show it to my mother to disturb her as she's beat DKC 1,2, and 3. Her response? "Oh yeah. We had a TON of those on vhs. You used to love it when you were 3 or 4. That explains a hell of a lot of things about myself.
Sooo............... ain't nobody gonna talk about the fact that, that little... "tip thing" on his head isn't just a strain of hair *BUT PART OF HIS HIS ACTUAL FREAKISHLY FORMED SKULL???* Seriously... y'all gonna pretend like that wasn't a thing?
Also in the little book where they learn that cutting his hair makes him Samson or sum' he's shown with a perfectly normal skull. Why did they change that? Why is his skull shaped as his hair? We'll never know...
Eric W Yes. Dunkey combined the episode "Bad Hair Day," which is where all the Sampson stuff comes from and "Kong for a Day," in which we learn how everyone actually hates DK and was just waiting for an excuse to banish him to the top of a mountain until they realize he's actually the only one who does anything useful and decide to put up with his bullshit out of necessity.
Honestly though, I adored this show when I was a kid. Or at least the DVD release of a collection of three episodes that I just watched over and over again.
In the iconic "I'm Nobody's Hero" scene, we see the prodigious Donkey Kong at his lowest point. Drained of his defining strength, and crushed under waves of self loathing, DK wails his sorrow into the cold unfeeling world in this chilling musical number. Many have speculated that the plane's erratic flight pattern prior to the opening verse is deeply rooted symbolism, for the rise, fall, and redemption of the biblical figure Sampson, which this genre defining story took it's inspiration from. Perhaps the infinite blue void symbolizes God, or a deity of some sort that Donkey Kong laments to. When viewed through this religious lens, the line "Can anybody tell me what I've done wrong? I'm all alone and I'm so confused." can be seen as DK questioning his faith, and for once opening his mind to the prospect of a truly random, and chaotic realm in which he is absolutely alone. While chilling to think of, this scene is iconic because of the several possible interpretations of what lies in Donkey Kong's mind, and beyond. No matter how you view it, it's hard to deny the chills that sink to one's bones when hearing DK accept his grim reality as, as he puts it, "an absolute zero." This effectively canonically chronicles DK's decent into nihilism, which of course forever echoes in the DK mythos. Just as Walter White "died" in the crawlspace, and emerged as something new, The same happen's to DK, as we see the downfall of the Kong family in years to come. Of course, as God allowed Sampson his strength back for one final righteous slaughter, the bulls-eye banana restores strength back to a whole new entity, one that only barely resembles Donkey Kong on the surface. Overall, this scene is timeless, and damn flawless too. I've yet to see another like it with as much thematic relevancy, and raw emotion. Truly, a perfect scene.
I'm not reading that whole thing cuz I just woke up and don't have the mental energy for it, but I love you, and I will love you forever. Happy Birthday.
Daniel Alejadro Pacheco Torres... Exactly, Donkey Kong's singing voice sounds like a black Kevin Gilbert (Kevin Gilbert being a forgotten musician who was inspired by Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins........ he died at age 29 from chocking himself while making "Coconut Cream Pie").
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Fun Fact: actually knew bout the show before this video or when it went kinda viral. and, yes, it weirded me out. and i wasnt a child, i just found it on tape or something lol
Candy and Bluster are trying to find DK to give him Cranky's potion to do the job, but then Bluster deliberately spills it on the ground to sabotage DK. Just then, Diddy tells DK "hey here's a banana we haven't tried!" (in hopes of finding one that cures DK) and after eating it DK's hair grows back. So. Was it the right banana after all, or did spilling the potion affect it unbeknownst to them? Did it make the banana appear or did they just overlook it? Was the potion spilled close enough to do that? How could any of them not know they were near each other? It's like they came up with two different story resolutions and decided to just use both of them.
