Adventure Beast

Once I read up on the "real" man behind the main lead of the show it makes a little more sense but it needs a better identity. It's too adult for kids, yet too childish for adults. It tries to clumsily throw in facts about obscure animals (which I can't tell if they're real or not) while the characters find themselves in precarious situations in each of the short 15 min episodes. I want to like it, it's just not there yet. 5.5/10.

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!

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.

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.

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.
