Donkey Smash! Donkey Kill!, 21 November 2000
Author: wileyjp from Canada

I guess whoever came up with this turkey hasn't seen the shows based on Mario, Link, Pokemon, Sonic the Hedgehog, etc. The Rare employee who gave the networks permission to make this should be given his walking papers.

The animation isn't bad, but there is a definite difference between "Movie CG" and "Saturday Morning CG", which this show demonstrates without a doubt.

The big problem is that the show just doesn't mesh with the familiar DK world. After all, if Donkey started singing and dancing to lame tunes in the games, I'd file a lawsuit for defamation of character.

The biggest blight is the voice cast. Donkey is not a verbose character, and he should not be yammering a mile a minute. And what a voice! Ugh! I think that the extremely talented Kevin Bayliss should come over and revamp the entire cast. And David Wise should compose the music. And Leigh Loveday should write the scripts. But then, these men are interested in making things of QUALITY, which this show is not.
