Wild Kratts: Mystery of the Weird Looking Walrus (2011)
The Best Episode of Season 1!
This episode was great, beyond great. This took everything we love about Wild Kratts and turned it up a notch. And it's only the 13th episode. I think it should have been the final episode of season 1.
The episode takes an unpopular animal and bring it into the light. Giving us so much incredible Wow Facts and a lesson for all animals. Why do animals look the way they do? It was a very interesting topic. And I thought the Walrus was the perfect animal to show for that episode. I learned so many things from that episode. Some I can't say because it would ruin the story.
In this episode I thought that everything the Kratt Brothers and the Crew did had a purpose in the story. Especially the Octopus. It had a really good story.
And the humor is on point. It flows really well with the story, and I think thats why I like Wild Kratts humor is. It flows. But this episode was especially funny for me because all the characters are funny.
But who I think is the Funniest in this episode is Zach. He really stood out as a funny and even dangerous villain in this episode. He was just really enjoyable for me.
What stood out to me in this episode was Zach, the animal lesson, the humor, and the a little more darker story.
I Highly recommend, The Mystery of the Weird Looking Walrus.
Wild Kratts: Temple of Tigers (2017)
A Standout episode for a standout creature
This was a unique episode. One thing I like about it is that it talks about the Kratt brothers loosing Faith in there abilities and themselves, which I think a lot of people find relatable. Martin and Chris feel like they lost there creature adventuring skills but they solve there problem by creature adventuring (doing what they love) any way. And I think that is a good message to teach kids. Some days your skills may not be as sharp as you want them to, but if you keep making your skills sharp you will succeed.
I also am really happy they did a Tiger episode, there one of my favorite big cats. The design and behavior of Queen Stealth, the adult tigers name, made it feel like a mixture between a wild animal and a Martial Arts teacher. Someone who could help bring the Kratt brothers back to there creature adventuring game. Kind of reminds me of Rocky a bit.... Wait!!! "Eye of the Tiger";)
Donita Donata and Dabio weren't as funny as some of the other episodes they have been in, but they were still threatining and enjoyable to watch. And it was great to see there cool robot mannequins back.
Oh and Brad the test dummy. Why don't the Kratt brothers use him more often? They sure wouldn't have to use all of the first aid so much. But Kratts, if your listening, and for your sake please bring more Brad, I enjoyed him. You could make a lot of good comedy of of him.
What stood out to me was the story, Tiger, Brad the test dummy, and the final battle. This was a good episode. I really recommend Temple of Tigers.
Wild Kratts: Roadrunner (2013)
"I'll give you half an hour, to show a Wild Kratts/Roadrunner Cartoon
The Kratt Brothers visit the Sonoran Desert in this episode which gave them a perfect opportunity to make Loony Tunes Roadrunner references and they worked.
Much of this episode looks like it was heavily inspired from the Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner cartoon. A lot of the Slapstick and a few of the jokes in this episode sounded a lot like Loony Tunes (they even have the Kratt Brothers falling from a cliff edge like Wile E. Coyote), but it does it's own thing with it so it still feels like a Wild Kratts episode.
But even with all that slapstick it still holds a really good story. The Kratt Brothers really want to find the identity of a mysterious lizard while the rest of the crew (mostly Koki) want to get the Tortuga re-supplied. It was a unique story were the entire crew was on different agendas.
Spoilers: It's a runnings gag through the Sonoran desert adventure arc that the Tortuga needs to get supplied. Which must mean that after they dropped of the lizard, which was a Collared lizard, they get distracted with another adventure. But what stood out to me the most in this episode was the humor, the story, and that awesome Roadrunner team up on Martin the Rattlesnake.
I would give Roadrunner a head feather up.
Wild Kratts (2010)
This is the best animal show I have ever seen
I grew up watching Zaboomafo and Steve Irwin Crocodile Hunter, but when Zaboomafo stoppped airing episodes and Steve Irwin passed away I was in a long period of darkness for fun entertaining animal shows. But one day my younger cousins introduced me to Wild Kratts and my life changed forever. After I saw the episode Platypus Cafe I did my best to catch up. The good thing was the show was in the middle of it's first season so I managed to catch up before season 2 arrived.
And I enjoyed every second of the show. It has beautiful animation, cool animals, great science topics, wonderful Wow facts, memorable characters(hilarious villains), great humor, great action, fun stories, creature power suits. It has a mix of everything I always loved as a kid and things that I still enjoy now.
First lets talk about the animation. The Kratt brothers have always said that there are somethings you just can't show in Nature. Which is why the animation is crucial to this show. It brings alive the animals and there habitats as well, and is able to show some things (Like the Sperm Whale vs Giant Squid) that you just can't show. And it's not wacky 2D animation or gloppy 3D animation it's such beautiful and a more realistic kind of 2D animation.
Now lets talk about the characters. We have Martin Kratt the emotional, excited and disorganized, but serious when needs be, brother and Chris Kratt the calm and organized, but still fun and intellectual brother. Both are fun and educational teachers in animation and live-action. They bring the energy to the education of the show and the show in general. And the creature power suits are awesome. Humans gaining the abilities of animals and using there special skills is something that always interested me. As for the other characters we have Aviva, the smart, head strong, optimistic, and competitive inventor who makes much of the Wild Kratts awesome technology, Koki, the coordinated, sassy, sometimes grumpy, communications expert and also helps with Aviva's inventions. And Jimmy Z, the lazy, nervous, but crafty pilot and teleporter of there big turtle ship the Tortuga. All of these characters are so fun to watch and all of them are funny.
But who might be funnier than the leads are the villains. Never have I seen villains so funny and so memorable in any environmental kids show or in a PBS Kids show. We have Zach Varmietech who is a arrogant and whiny robotics inventor and the main antagonist. He likes to turn animals into robots and try to best the Wild Kratt, sometimes by stealing there inventions. He's also got some awesome and funny Robots. We have Donita Donata who is an impatient and easily frustrated, animal fashion designer with her dim witted henchman Dabio. We have Chef Gaston Gourmand, a sly, clever and crafty chef who likes to cook up animals. And we have there most recent villain Paisley Paver, an organized, by the book, engineerer who paves animal homes with her energentic henchman Rex. All of these Villains make me laugh every time there on screen with there egos, there crazy schemes and there interactions with the Kratt Brothers. And when you put them all in the same room you just can't stop chuckling. Even though the voice acting for some of these characters isn't spot on they are still fun to watch.
And last but not least we have the educational value. There are things in this show I have never heard about and even some animals I never heard about until I came across this show like the Yeti Crab, Proboscis Monkey, Honey Badger, Immortal Jellyfish(Wait till season 4) All of these animals are presented so well and in a way that can educate children and adults. Many think that education and fun are natural enemies but that is completely bogus. The Kratt Brothers, Martin and Chris not only make learning fun but also makes engaging stories to go along with it. It provides a lot of education but never shys away from being creative. But that's just my opinion, watch this show for yourself and see if you, like me, can go Wild with Wild Kratts
