| ==Overview== | | ==Format and cast== |
| Using a children's anthology format (similar to ''[[King Koopa's Kool Kartoons]]''), ''Donkey Kong Planet'' consisted of airings of various animated series and children's live-action shows interspersed with original material featuring part of the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series cast. The original incarnation of the show co-starred children show host [[Mélanie Angélie]] and [[Donkey Kong]], with skits frequently deriving humor from Donkey Kong's dimwittedness and misunderstanding of human customs. After Mélanie Angélie departed the show in 2000, the show was retooled as ''DKTV'', adding a new animated character in the form of a hip green [[Kremling]] named [[Krushy]] and featuring content ranging from comedic skits to musical numbers and parodies of current movies and TV shows. Although ostensibly aimed toward children, ''DKTV'' sometimes featured language and subject matters cruder than one would expect from its time slot and source material. | | Using a format similar to ''[[wikipedia:The Bozo Show|The Bozo Show]]'' and ''[[King Koopa's Kool Kartoons]]'', ''La planète de Donkey Kong'' consisted of airings of various animated series and children's live-action shows interspersed with original material featuring part of the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series cast.

| The interstial segments featured Donkey Kong, [[Diddy Kong]], [[Candy Kong]], [[Funky Kong]], and Krushy, whose models would often portray multiple different characters in a single skit. Although produced by the same company and reusing the models from the first season of ''Donkey Kong Country'', ''Donkey Kong Planet''{{'}}s voice cast was completely different from the French dub of ''Donkey Kong Country''. | | The show featured [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Candy Kong]] and [[Funky Kong]], who were sometimes duplicated to fill crowd shots.
