5.0 out of 5 stars Move over "world music" -- "world animation" is here!, 24 April 2003
By A Customer
The innovative design of this animation really makes it stand out from the cookie-cutter cartoon crowd. Strongly South American influenced characters and backgrounds, as well as the welcome move away from screaming primary colours, give this series a unique look.

Best of all, the humour isn't just for kids. The motherly bird (Yoko), droll armadillo (Jakamoko) and wacky, loose-cannon monkey (Toto) compliment each other fantastically. Without the use of dialogue the three communicate clearly with noises, gestures and music, making for some terrific visual comedy.

Whether it’s working together to find a funny and innovative solution to a problem (as in “The Waterhole”) or teaching a non-preachy lesson about the value of friendship (“The New King ”), the trio’s adventures are enjoyable from start to finish.

Especially fun for adults are sly references to pop culture, as in “The Shell”, with its hilarious homage to the famous eye-narrowing showdown in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best animated children's series I've seen!, 29 Mar 2003
By A Customer
My children and I have really enjoyed watching this! We laugh out loud at the crazy antics and the kids always learn a valuable lesson or two. It's obvious that everyone working on the show has taken a great deal of time and effort to make sure it's top quality! I would highly recommend this to anyone with (or without) children!

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnifico!, 29 Mar 2003
By Dennis E. Sisterson (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This offbeat show about a bird, a monkey and something that looks like an armadillo messing about together in the desert is without a doubt the freshest, most inventive, dynamic and thoroughly entertaining animated kids' series to be produced in this country since 'Roobarb and Custard'. It may be aimed at under-fives but when it aired recently on ITV everyone in my office - including the boss - would pile into the conference room to watch it, and work would have to wait for five minutes.
The fun characters, sparkling wit and humour, vibrant design and utterly brilliant animation are a breath of fresh air amid the formulaic blandness of modern kids' TV.
Buy a copy for yourself, another for your kids, another for any other kids you know and one more to keep wrapped up for when it becomes a collector's item. If this doesn't become a cult classic there's no justice.
