O Desconhecido Mundo Animal

The concept of adult educational animation intrigued me. The style gave me Gravity Falls vibes, so I'm thinking maybe the comedy's written toward teens but with tongue-in-cheek jokes for the adults.

Boy was I wrong. The comedy's more along the line of Bojack Horseman with a mix of naive charm and raunchy jokes. But what I liked most of all was actually the educational part of it - it feels like the tour guide removed the vanilla fluff and was like "I'm gonna level with you, some of this stuff is kinda dirty" but I love the honesty of it all.

Great performances from all the actors especially Danice Cabanela - always great to see/hear actors of color without their identity being used as a plot device.

Each episode has a loose plot in a different part of the world and focuses on a particular trait in nature. The plot acts as a showcase for various nature facts. As an ecology dork, I had fun trying to guess what he was going to say, and learned along the way.

I wouldn't call it hilarious but when I laughed it was a proper snort that caught me by surprise.

The animation on the humans seems a bit.. off, especially Bonnie. But I can't put my finger on why so I didn't think it was fair to dock any points for that. The animation of the animals is much better, so I would guess they used animators more skilled at movement than facial expressions. The effect can be a bit off putting but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It's not like anything else around at the moment - it reminds me a bit of the Wild Thornberries from the 90s.

This show made the mistake of starting out with the worst episode. I felt no need to continue, but my animal-loving girlfriend enjoyed it so we watched a few more. As the show continues, it gets more enjoyable for sure. The characters are actually pretty likable and there's still plenty of funny jokes left amongst quite a few misses. I liked the chaotic pace of the show, constantly changing scenery, and the animal facts make it just a tiny bit educational. The artstyle and voice work is very decent, making this a fun watch in my book.

As a one time field zoologist, I can say that this definitely has some relatable moments...the actually accurate zoological facts inserted are fun, too. Sadly, I feel that it probably does not have the storyline potential to see more than one season, and it will probably appeal to a less than large audience.

This show had me laughing so hard every episode is so well written. The whole cast was funny and gave life to the show. I hope to see Danice Cabanela in more Netflix shows in The future she is extremely funny in the show!
