Summer Camp Island

I love it no complaints! I recommend it for all ages

I made the mistake of thinking this cartoon was going to be one of the bad ones, but I'm glad I'm wrong. The commercials don't do this cartoon justice, with how creative and interesting it is. I especially love Oscar and Hedgehog's friendship.

When I saw the commercials for 'Summer Camp Island' I thought it was just going to be another dumb cartoon that will be cancelled with a short life-span but when there was nothing else to watch on Cartoon Network I decided to give it a try. It's very charming and colorful (the humour is about a 3.5 out of 5 for me). It really gives you an 'Adventure Time' and 'Over The Garden Wall' vibe. It's very original and I hope a lot more seasons are to come. My favourite episode I would recommend to anyone would be 'Pepper's Blanket Is Missing'.

Alongside Double Dare, Rise of the TMNT, and somewhat Big City Greens, this is one of the best shows that kids' cable has to offer. I know people are turned off by the art-style, but personally I don't really mind it, I think it's adorable. At least the character animation itself is quite smooth.

The show itself is quite laid-back and sweet. It reminds me of something I'd watch on 2000s PBS or Discovery Kids (RIP), but in a good way really. The world of SCI is very rich, as there are many characters and everything talks.

The characters are quite likable. Oscar and Hedgehog are nice-hearted kids. I like that for once, they have a platonic boy-girl friendship instead of them having crushes on each other. That would be very cliche and I'm glad that the team didn't choose that route. This shows kids that you CAN be friends with the opposite sex.

But my favorite character has to be Susie. She is mean, but she is entertaining in a way, and she has a cool accent. To sum it up, SCI is a very decent show and I recommend it if you want to calm down.

I was pleasantly suprised by Summer Camp Island, While the Pilot it was based on was pretty ho hum, feeling more like a mid-season episode more than a pilot, the episodes I watched during the series premiere marathon were genuinely enjoyable . The animation has stepped up since the pilot which wasn't bad but defiantly unusual, the Character designs are a bit odd ball-ish at first though after a decent amount of episodes you'll get use to them. Summer camp island is just full of charm, the pacing is nice and fluid, the music is easy going, humor is solid, characters are enjoyable though Oscar, Hedgehog and Susie clearly get more screen-time than the other campers and Witches, But their likable. The show was made by a show runner on Adventure Time {Julia Pott} as well as a handful of others who worked on the show and it clearly shows with the vibrant backgrounds , the delightfully weird and made up stuff and humor. Any down sides I can think of is that the camp counselor "Susie" can be a Bit of a "Tsundere" Jerk Archetype which rarely hit home for me but she's kept to a tolerable level. I'm looking forward to more fun in the sun with the kids on Summer camp island.
