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 timeslot and source material.

Donkey Kong Planet[2] (known in French as La planète de Donkey Kong, and later renamed DKTV, DKTV.Cool,[3] DKTV Cool,[3] and D.K.T.V[3]) is a programming block that aired from September 4, 1996 to September 1, 2001[1] on France 2, reusing various assets from the Donkey Kong Country animated series. It was produced and animated by Medialab.

Unlike what is claimed by various publications,[4] La planète de Donkey Kong is not the French name of the Donkey Kong Country cartoon (which simply had the same name in French) but rather a separate show that aired exclusively in France. The name is likely a reference to the French novel La Planète des singes, known in English as Planet of the Apes.

Overview[edit]

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.

Donkey Kong Planet used the same motion capture style of animation as Donkey Kong Country, but had the characters superimposed over a live-action set and frequently interacting with real actors.

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.
