    Some of the most beautiful art in a cartoon ever!

    If you love art this is definitely one to watch because the animation is so beautiful and fluid that you are bound to get hooked immediately. If you can get over the Lego hands.

    For lego characters the facial expressions are amazing, they are incredibly expressive and hilarious.

    The jokes are definitely aimed more for a millennial audience and there are plenty of background Easter eggs for anyone looking. So you will definitely want to look some of them up if you're of the younger generation.

    There are plenty of lighthearted moments and some darker angsty bits but there is definitely never a dull moment.

    Couldn't recommend this show enough, it needs all the love it can get!

    A Must Watch

    This show is amazing if you someone un interested in the animation, the voice acting is jaw dropping especially for the character Macaque (Rip Billy Kametz) There are ten 11 minute episodes to season 1 and the two "movies" are both just 40 minute special episodes. The first one is technically a pilot of sorts which takes place before the first season, it's called Monkie Kid: A Hero is Born. The second 40 minute special is kind of a kick off to season 2, Monkie Kid: Revenge of the Spider Queen.

    These are lovable characters with so much heart, you get very attached to them and surprisingly the villians as well. I recommend this show for all ages!

    An AMAZING start to an AMAZING Series!

    This special is an epic start to one of the BEST animated shows I've ever seen! The art, acting, story, and character dynamics are the best I have ever seen, and this studio did such a fantastic job with it!

    This special is only JUST the start, and it gets better and better with every season! If you want to add something to your watch list, this is it! It is one of the best things I have ever seen, and is such an inspiration for me since I want to go into screenwriting (and production)!

    The people behind it are so so so talented in the work they make, and this series is no exception!

    I really recommend everyone watch this amazing beginning to an epic tale! (based on an epic tale)!

    Based

    Based special, plain and simple. The pilot episode of Monkie Kid is about drive, it's about power, they stay hungry, they devour the Yeezys off of the store shelves to get stronger since the rarer the item, the more powerful DBK becomes.

    THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN NINJAGO!

    Fantastic! I would recommend this to all my friends. Can't wait to get the sets!
