Captain Flamingo

I'm not sure what these other yokels are going on about, but Captain Flamingo is a great cartoon! It's very cute and silly, somewhat in the same manner as Powerpuff Girls, with a touch of Fairly Odd Parents thrown into the mix as well.

The basic premise of each show is that Flamingo - who became a hero to help "'lil kids everywhere," must come to the rescue of kids with typically silly problems, rather than serious ones. Flamingo must use his wits to solve the problem at hand, often aided by his best friend Lizbeth Amanda, who has a secret crush on him.

It's just a cute little show that doesn't take itself too seriously, and if you have any kind of silly sense of humor, you'll enjoy it. With Captain Flamingo, silly often takes the day, and as a huge fan of the show, I wouldn't have it any other way!

It's one of those Canadian cartoons that make me forget about the whole world. The production is brilliant, each episode is different and it's just crazy funny. The whole idea of a kid superhero dressed as a flamingo is so absurd that it can't stop surprising you. The characters of Milo, Lizbeth and other kids are very well written and the visual side of this show is just perfect.

I'm just waiting for a DVD version of this, because it's amazing that in this whole world of cartoon debris where one show looks exactly as five others there's still something that won't bore you to death. And out of all the cartoons my daughter watches, this and Iggy Arbuckle are the only two I want to have on my DVD shelf.
