    Great

    In my personal opinion it is very good for someone who is younger, give them a sense of entertainment that doesn't have to be educational 24/7 and instead more on the funny side. It can let your kid learn how to pick sides and even parts of the show give a few lessons on what is good to do in life for other people and how to get along, I personally watched this when I was a bit younger so I'm speaking from experience when it comes to this specific show. And for the sexist comment, just how is this sexist on its own? They probably call the original Donkey Kong sexist for the person you have to save being a girl.

    Do not let your child watch this

    Why would anyone let their kids watch this crap? It's cheap humor without the benefits of any sort of duologue. Just random sound effects that will leave you annoyed and your kids development stunted.

    Golden era slapstick

    Borrowing heavily from the classic Looney Tunes and MGM animation tropes, this series will elicit nostalgia for a bygone era of animation. This series is the classic scenario of might over cunning, although neither Zig nor Sharkolo are particularly ingenious. Lots of prats and big booms, and violence invariably causes and solves all the problems on this show. The helpless mermaid adds even more tropism as the damsel in infinite distresses. On the rarer occasion where Zig and Sharkolo have to work together, it reminds me of those episodes of Tom and Jerry where the two would set aside their obvious differences to solve a shared dilemma, only to be back at each other's throats as soon as it's resolved. The art direction relies a little too much on Ren and Stimpy and Spongebob Squarepants, but even still, it manages to stand on its own. Non-verbal, so translation won't be a problem to any global audiences.

    ANNOYING

    Animation is okay,characters are flat and voice acting and story are annoying as hell

    Too Funny!!

    This cartoon makes me laugh so hard! So far, this is one of the best Xilam productions, in my opinion. I was amazed to discover it's a French cartoon. I'm not too fond of French productions, but "Zig & Sharko" is an exception. I can easily "get" this type of humor (slapstick), even if I'm used to American and British comedies. The inventiveness of the team working on this cartoon is so impressive: they always come up with incredible ideas. In addition, I really like this type of animation, it's more similar to what I was used to in my childhood (e.g. Wile E. Coyote). I love the visuals, the sound effects, the narration and directing style.

    Two seasons of "Zig & Sharko" have been released, each season consisting of 26 episodes. Due to the nature of the stories, I would recommend it to kids ages 7+.
