Bonkers

What a funny cartoon named bonkers he is so funny his show is amazing too bad it ended in 1994 and what about his theme well it rocks in my opinion but it is really catchy.

There are only two cartoon series that meant the world to me in my childhood and this was one of them. I love this series so much. the writing was always ingenious, the characters were lovable, and it always left you with a good feeling and made you smile. But what sets this show apart from other also very good shows? its charm. its self aware charm. almost as if it knew it was a TV show and played to the audience. The idea of this show was already tried with Roger rabbit, but Bonkers pulled it off much better with a hilarious personality and lovability. the episodes where he's paired with piquel are hysterical and (IMO) better than the later ones with Miranda. they just had a sort of chemistry that was brilliant. if i had to nitpick, the only thing i DIDN'T like about this show was fall apart rabbit and the theme song. but other than that, this show is amazing, even to this day. It's incrediby sad that this series is not on DVD yet and i will be sure to buy it the moment it does. The cartoons of today need to take lessons from these amazing shows and go back to hand drawings. This show embodies my childhood and has near perfection status, with 10 wacky toons, out of 10.

Yet a good cartoon.

Its fun little show it could have been an iCON. Great animation. Verdict: go Bonkers.

I kind of miss this show. It was the kind of cartoon people of any age can maybe not love but at least enjoy, which is much better than most kids cartoons today (which seem to all be so scream filled and annoying). Bonkers was pretty funny.

First, I must say that the Disney Afternoon was the greatest lineup of television shows ever. Originally, when it consisted of Gummi Bears, Ducktales, Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers, and Talespin, it was perfect, but alas, new shows were created and old ones were removed. Other greats that followed were Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop, Bonkers, Aladdin, and Gargoyles. (Notice I did not mention Timon and Pumbaa, Schnookums & Meat, and Marsupilami because I think they were horrible, which is also why they didn't last as long as the other shows) Anyway, when I have time I'll put my individual comments about each of those shows. This one is for Bonkers.

Bonkers is a bobcat. He started as a famous Hollywood actor in the beginning of the show. The premise is sort of like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, where humans and toons live together, especially in Hollywood. Bonkers' show gets cancelled and through a series of mixups with a policeman named Lucky Picquelle (hope I spelled that right), NOT PICKLE!, they became partners in a new division of the police squad called toon division.

Anyway, that is the plot, but that doesn't explain how hilarious this show is. First, I must say that Jim Cummings, the voice of Bonkers, and a billion other cartoon characters, especially for Disney, is one of the greatest voice artists, on par with Charles Fleischer and Mel Blanc (who provided voices for all of the Warner Brothers cartoon characters). Lucky is an overweight cop who does things by the book and likes silence and order in his life. However, Bonkers, being a cartoon character, and one who literally is "bonkers", makes his life and the entire show turn upside down and insane. Bonkers goes on rants where he's speaking at 100000 miles per second, without catching his breath, constantly moving all over the place, while Lucky is trying to calm himself down before he gets a heart attack. It's hard for me to explain how hilarious and great this show was/is, but you must see it for yourself. It's on Toon Disney every day and night, make sure you watch it with all of the other Toon Disney/old Disney Afternoon shows. See you at my next comment on the other shows.
