Camp Lazlo

I grew up watching this and I have to say it really brings back good memories. The show focuses on an optomistic monkey named Lazlo (Carlos Alazraqui) who gets sent to summer camp where he befriends a neurotic elephant named Raj (Jeff Bennett) and a mostly quiet rhino named Clam (Carlos Alazraqui). Together they have several adventures ranging from avoiding the up-tight scoutmaster named Lumpus (Tom Kenny), exploring outside the camp to running into the Bean Scouts and either competing against or working with them depending on the episode. The animation's nice to look at, the characters are interesting and well-developed and the gags are funny. One of my favorite gags is seeing one scout Edward (Jeff Bennett) get angry. In one episode there're literally explosions in his eyes not once but twice. I don't know why but I thought that was funny. Both kids and adults will like this show.

This show might not have been on hire for that long compared to some other stories but it was good. I love every second that I showed it. It was never boring. I love the cast of character there was. There character development and character designs were all good too. The animation was good. It was about the life of animal going to summer camp. I loved that idea and the director who made it did a good job on it. I wish there was more episodes if I am being honest.

It seems that cartoons aren't treating kids like idiots anymore.

It was by chance one Saturday afternoon while channel surfing that I came across Camp Lazlo and the first thing that struck me was the resemblance of the animation to Rocko's Modern Life - and why not? It's made by the same person who created that show.

Young kids would be taken in by the speed at which things happen in each episode - there is no time to stop and think about what is going on nor is there any need to. Pure entertainment with no lesson to be learned at the end of the show.

It's all typical little boy behavior and insanity at Camp Kidney on the shores of Leaky Lake, with the only creature approaching any form of sanity being a slug named Slinkman - at least I think he's slug. He does have legs after all.

Where there's trouble, Lazlo the Brazillian Spider Monkey will be found smack bang in the middle of it with his two best friends, Raj the Indian Elephant and Clam the Pygmy Albino Rhino doing their best to keep up with him, leaving the rest of the gang of Bean Scouts to just go in whatever direction Lazlo and company pull them.

Watching over it all with a deep desire to escape is Scoutmaster Lupus (or Lumpus as everyone else calls him). This is one Scoutmaster you wouldn't want looking after your kids for any length of time.

Highly recommended for anyone who feels like an escape from the rat race and a few good laughs.

This is one of the best animated shows on TV. Maybe one of the best in the last five years, right up there with SpongeBob. Now I'm not the type of person who likes trying new shows. My philosophy is "im not gonna waste my time on this, there is something better on TV". but one day I gave it a shot and did not regret it. It was great!! I love the comedy in it. The creators of this must be comical geniuses. I'm an older "kid" i guess, and i usually don't watch Cartoon Network and Nick but I made an exception.

There are so many good things about this show. It is funny, it is entertaining, it is just good!!!!!!!!!!!!! A lot of the people that made Camp Lazlo made and are still making SpongBob Square Pants. They did a great job with SpongeBob and they are doing a great job with Camp Lazlo. Joe Murray did it with Rocko's Modern Life and now he is doing it with Camp Lazlo. I cant say enough.

Camp Lazlo is the best new combo kid/adult cartoon since the Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy. It's not surprising, given that it includes the talents of Tom Kenny, Joe Murray, and some of the other creative geniuses behind the revolution in comedic cartoons we've witnessed over the last decade. It's a worthy successor to some of the recent generation of outstanding Nick cartoons like Fairly Oddparents and Spongebob.

The voices are superb and the writing is sharp. For better or worse, cartoons seem to be nearly the only medium in which you can use accents - acceptable because they are married to two-dimensional animals rather than human beings - without overt accusations of political incorrectness. In Camp Lazlo, the vocal work provides texture against the dialog, giving it an aural depth that, odd as it may seem, children's television has maintained while adult fare has lost. And no, it is not offensive at all.

I highly recommend everyone check this new show out, because it is deserving of your time.
