Krypto the Superdog

This was done fairly well as a kids cartoon that is fun to watch for the kids and family. It sure beats Pokémon. the animation is average and not very detailed, yet the stories are more entertaining than most toons for kids like the first episode of Krypto which had some cool little twists and a guest star.The kid that owns him is funny and gets in his own scrapes along with Krypto, watch for Freaky Friday episode. Krypto is not alone either in his fight against evil as he has a sidekick cat that follows him around sometimes and other superhero pets sometimes show up to help him out. It made me laugh a couple of times because the story was so well done, sometimes within 15 minutes. the villains are good too with Mechanakitty being one of my favorites. Recommended.

OK, I tried to fight the urge to watch this cartoon. I'm 22, I don't need to watch this show. I had assumed it was for kids. After all, it was on Cartoon Network, it was a kid friendly superman 'toon. So, on a bored early morning, I caught the episode, and like watching a train wreck, couldn't resist.

That was the first time. I've since watched about four or five episodes, and I have to finally come to a conclusion, the series really isn't that bad.

First, the good: The animation is crisp and colorful, and while it isn't on par with old "Looney Tunes" (good example 'What's Opera Doc?'), it stands head over tails with "Pokemon". The characters are fun and colorful. I know that I've used colorful twice, but to be fair, there is a slew of characters that really attempt to breath life into the mythos of Superman's best animal friend. It's been too long since kids have had a friendly, non-competitive, and overall good cartoon character. Too often the violence and sensuality in cartoons geared for kids has become more and more present. If you want examples see: Spongebob Squarepants, Fairly Oddparents, Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius, Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Ed, Edd and Eddy to name a few. Krypto isn't a dark and mysterious hero, he's a dog. He has a cat sidekick. He has an owner who loves him. And he's SUPERMAN'S DOG! It's every kid's dream come true, and is actually fun to watch. The antics are harmless, full of real slapstick not the borderline uber-violent slapstick, and full of vibrancy and life. The creators really seem to care about the product, and it shows through and through. Finally, the cartoon honestly pays tribute to the Superfriends of days gone by with various sound effects included on Krypto will make nostalgic viewers reminisce about the good old days of Black Vulcan and Bizzarro Superman.

Now, in the interest of fairness The Bad: The episodes are short, sweet, and basically kid friendly. If you've seen "Baby Looney Tunes", you've got an idea of what you might be in for. This is KID FRIENDLY, in the truest since of the word, which means, unless you're in the age made for it, or you're bored, or you're a die hard Supes fan this show will probably be boring, and not worth watching, unless you spend time to get into it. It will take a few episodes to get into the series, most likely. The dialogue is sometimes cheezy, and sometimes just makes you laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.

Overall I'd give Krypto an 8 out of 10. It's worth watching, and fun for the Kids.

Before watching this show , I reminded myself no matter how much its going to suck it cant be worse than the first episode of Teen Titans or the entire new Batman show , which , I was right it didn't suck as much as the first episode of Teen Titans or the nonsense called The Batman in fact it didn't suck at all , I became aware of it a few months ago and made it a point to watch it , I was surprised by the first two episodes , it was a kids show yes , but it want dumbed down like Dora the Explorer but more like Pinky and The Brain , with out the famous faces , actually there was one famous face that showed up in a big red cape , Superman which made the entire thing worth watching , still it had some minor flaws , but still how can anything with PAul Dini on board be horrible , not something to set the alarm clock for but don't pass it by or mock it , again this is not The Batman ,but a rather intelligent little cartoon

I'm an animation fan from the "Old School." This is just a fun show. A "waste of time" is only because that person likes a darker type show. I like those, plus the ones with lighter humor. Krypto is usually a happy dog, and his sidekick, Streaky is pretty funny most of the time with his mind on two things...food and sleep, just like my cats. The character Kevin is Krypto's friend, and in fact, his "owner" if you will, and he would be more or less a typical boy with a super pet. Streaky,incidentally, is my favorite character in the show. My only complaint...they didn't make enough of these and they're in about 5x repeats or better on Cartoon Network. Watch it if you're a fan of the lighter side of anime, and you shouldn't be disappointed. If you're looking for darker animation ONLY, Batman, Justice League, and similar would be a better choice.

My daughter(3.5) loves this show, i think because it features animals + superpowers and flying.

I end up watching it a fair bit, the animation is simpler and not over produced. It takes me back to my childhood. It may be comic inspired but it has some comedic value too. I like that the show is mostly just for entertainment, doesn't claim to teach counting and problem solving then flop like many kids shows.

The villeins and their evil plots are pretty tame, and the action is never graphically violent, there is no sexual content. It's pretty wholesome but still interesting. This show has my kid running around pretending to be super dog, I'm just fine with that!
