The fact that this is getting it's own animated series kinda scares me....

Thanks!

I've been lurking since March, but I never join a forum right away unless I'm absolutely sure that I'll make a significant amount of posts there, and seeign all the threads I'd like to post in, I'm pretty sure I'll be here for a while. BTW, do you know anyone that could make me an icon? If so, would you mind PMing me? Thanks!

But anyway, I got scared about it from this post I read at DKVine ( Another forum I occaisonally lurk.

Was this a Rareware property that 4Kids optioned, or is Rareware just doing the tie-in video game?

**creativerealms** · 08-26-2006, 08:56 PM

This the the big 4kids/Microsoft deal that has been talked about for a while now. Anyway I fond it enjoyable.

**SAMaine** · 08-27-2006, 12:22 AM

You know some people wait until AFTER the video game comes out to make an Animated Series based on it, but NOT with Rare!!!

I saw it. It was okay. The show was a little bit charming, but one question remains. Why the heck do some of those piñatas actually wanted to be beaten?

**mojokingbee1** · 08-28-2006, 01:29 AM

Visual-wise, it's appealing. Writing-wise... It's better than "Donkey Kong Country".

**Conan-san** · 08-28-2006, 01:46 AM

Whilst it's highly uncooth of me, this fails for not being A Banjo Kazooie cartoon.

Wow, Usual Plots, Bad Humor and It's not interesting.

Also missing is the connection to the Video Game.

**Ultra8** · 08-29-2006, 03:55 AM

Kinda meh.
I spent more time wondering what the pink cat-thing with the bulging eyes was supposed to be.

**Lutochris** · 08-29-2006, 10:55 AM

So, who thinks this is gonna save 4Kids?

Not me. Though I have seen stupider stuff be successful.

**Undrave** · 08-29-2006, 12:33 PM

Meh... this looks too expensive (in term of animation) for a show barely above Coconut Fred in term of writting -.-

**Conan-san** · 08-29-2006, 02:22 PM

That said, the "I dislocated my eyebrow" line was funny.

**Undrave** · 08-29-2006, 06:47 PM

Meh...

If I want a show about talking thingies that shouldn't normally talk I'll watch ' The (very) Good Adventures of Yam Roll in Happy Kingdom'.

I don't understand how you can get a video game out of pinatas like that oO

**Conan-san** · 08-29-2006, 07:44 PM

This is Rare, the same rare that calls an inamitate object with a pair of eyes a new chracter.

It's not supposed to save 4Kids, it's supposed to save Rareware. The TV show is just to be a cheap tie-in to help the sales of the upcoming video game. That's why it's being done in the first place. And even if this show is hated by all, damnit I hope it succeeds. Rare needs the money and I need to see another Banjo-Kazooie game.

Visual-wise, it's appealing. Writing-wise... It's better than "Donkey Kong Country".

DKC was made by stoned French guys, it's not that hard to beat in terms of writing.

Well it IS giving us a few hints as to how to find certain pinatas in the game if the second episode is anything to go by.
