    Not bad, could have been better
    This animated series is much less subtle than the movie, the humor is more streamlined (standard animated comedy material) and, on the whole, the main characters gain nothing from being expanded upon in new story lines. Kip is arguably the character that works best here - with Deb on the other end of the spectrum: the animated Deb is just bland (a lovesick "I want him but he doesn't notice me" stereotype that doesn't do the charmingly oddball movie version justice at all), and gets far too much airtime. Grandma is alright (pretty standard - you've seen her character a million times before, but it's well enough done and she works nicely in tandem with Kip), as is Napoleon himself. Rico is okay too (but like all the other main characters, he suffers from being "standardized").

    All in all, though, this is well worth watching for anyone who liked the movie.
