“It's the wildest, hairiest, most fur-ocious adventure yet, as the popular Nintendo character swings into his own 3-D animated full-length feature!”
—The first few lines of The Legend of the Crystal Coconut VHS description

Donkey Kong Country is a computer-animated musical television series based on the video game series of the same name. The program first debuted in France on September 4, 1996, on France 2, and then premiered in Canada on Télétoon on September 8, 1997, as a launch program. The English version made its worldwide debut in Canada on Télétoon's English counterpart Teletoon on October 17, 1997, once again as a launch program. The show then began airing in the United States on the Fox Family Channel on August 15, 1998 (occasionally airing on Fox Kids), and the original run finished on July 7, 2000. In Japan, the series began airing with a Japanese dub on TV Tokyo on October 1, 1999, and finished its run on June 30, 2000.[citation needed]

Donkey Kong Country ran for three seasons with forty episodes in total. Like the Super Mario-based television series before it, the show generally followed an episodic format. During the run, however, there were some episodes aired out of order from the original airing, such as "Bad Hair Day" being aired as the third episode in its run in the United States despite airing first in France. While the first two seasons were produced by Medialab, the third season was instead produced by Chinese company Hong Gaung and switched to a newer and sleeker style of computer animation, as well as dropping the use of title cards to introduce each episode. Also similar to the earlier Super Mario cartoons, each episode (excluding "Message in a Bottle Show") features one or two original songs based on events in the episode, performed by the cast.

Donkey Kong Country was one of the earliest television series to be entirely computer-animated, similar to the artistic style of the video games. The computer animation style of the series was met with critical acclaim in France and Japan but with mixed reception elsewhere. Despite this, the series has managed to gain a cult following.

Some elements of the series would go on to appear in later Donkey Kong video games such as Donkey Kong 64, which was released a year after the show had started airing on ABC Family (Fox Family). There was also a commercial for the Game Boy Color game Donkey Kong Country featuring Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong and Rambi fighting General Klump and Krusha over a giant Game Boy Color, in which all of the characters are depicted with retooled versions of their designs from the series' third season (besides Rambi, who does not appear in the series).

Synopsis

The show stars Donkey Kong, a gorilla-like Kong living in the jungle who happens to stumble upon a magic orb called the Crystal Coconut in the temple of Inka Dinka Doo. After finding the artifact, Donkey Kong is named the future ruler of Kongo Bongo Island. As he and his friends wait for the day when the Crystal Coconut will proclaim him the ruler of the island, they strive to keep it safe from the clutches of the villainous King K. Rool and his minions, who desire the coconut so that K. Rool may conquer the island using its power.

The series features almost all of the Kongs from Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, the exceptions being Swanky Kong and Wrinkly Kong. However, the show also features several original characters that do not appear in the games, such as Eddie the Mean Old Yeti, Kaptain Skurvy and his crew, and Bluster Kong.

Episodes

Two conflicting season numbering schemes exist for the show. Nelvana considers the show to have three "cycles" (13x13x14),[2] and this is the numbering used for the show's release on services such as Pluto TV and Tubi. The show's official DVDs and release on iTunes,[3] however, identify two seasons, the first being made up of the 26 Medialab-produced episodes and the second being made up of the 14 Hong Guang-produced episodes.

Differences from the Donkey Kong Country games

The Donkey Kong Country television series is different in comparison to its respective video game series. The series uses elements from the first Donkey Kong Country game and Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, though the show differs heavily from the source material. It also introduces elements that were not seen in previous games such as the inclusion of Bluster Kong and Eddie the Mean Old Yeti.

  • None of the musical themes from the games appears; the soundtrack either consists of original music or public domain tracks.
  • Donkey Kong is depicted as bipedal rather than walking on fours.
  • The banana hoard never appears in the series. The Crystal Coconut serves a similar MacGuffin as K. Rool and his minions attempt to steal it in a similar way.
  • Cranky is never stated to be DK's grandfather, with the latter referring to Cranky by his name, rather than a family title. Likewise, the series never states him to be the original Donkey Kong. "Ape Foo Young" depicts a younger Cranky, not resembling any previous youthful appearance of him.
  • Cranky does not have hair on his head and instead, has white eyebrows.
  • Candy Kong looks different from her appearance in the first game, not wearing a pink bikini, but instead a tank-top with shorts, sandals (rather than being barefoot), and having a different hairstyle that is shorter with a headband and orange hair, rather than being blonde and having a bow.
  • Funky Kong has blonde fur rather than brown, wears black goggles instead of sunglasses. He has no necklace.
  • Dixie Kong has a different design than she does in her first appearance. Her fur is brighter to a yellow-like color rather than brown and wears a green blouse with a daisy on it. She also lacks eyelashes and her face shape appears is closer in design to Diddy's; Dixie's face in the games has a different shape from Diddy's. Her beret lacks the Rare logo.
  • Swanky Kong and Wrinkly Kong do not appear.
  • Kremlings are never referred to by name, being generically referred to as "lizards", "gators", and similar terms. Kritters and Klaptraps are properly referred by their names, however.
  • Klaptraps are depicted as bipedal, rather than on fours like an actual crocodilian. They are also depicted as ammo, being shot from guns; Klaptraps and similar entities walk on the ground and are not shot. They also have a habit of eating, which aside from their biting attacks, is a trait that did not happen in prior games.
  • Not all Kremlings are part of K. Rool's group, with Kaptain Skurvy and his two minions being separate from the group and being occasional enemies of K. Rool, rather than allies.
  • No other enemies appear such as Gnawties or Neckies.
  • The Animal Friends are absent.
  • Donkey Kong Island is named Kongo Bongo Island or simply, Kongo Bongo.
  • The series has various locations that are vaguely inspired by the ones in the first game.
  • The Gangplank Galleon never appears in the series, with K. Rool lacking a pirate motif. Kaptain Skurvy's ship appears to take inspiration from said ship.
  • Cranky's Cabin takes place in a forest and does not resemble the cabin that appears in any previous game.
  • King K. Rool does not wear a gold chestplate and has a regular chest, similar to his later appearances. Neither one of his eyes are bloodshot by default, although they do enlarge depending on his emotions and become bloodshot in "Ape Foo Young". He also has no tail.

Donkey Kong Planet

Main article: Donkey Kong Planet

In addition to the animated series, Donkey Kong hosted on France 2 Donkey Kong Planet (also known as La planète de Donkey Kong, DKTV, and DKTV.cool), which was a mix of children's programming and original content featuring part of the cast of the Donkey Kong Country series. The original segments featured Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, and Candy Kong performing musical numbers, parodies of contemporary movies and television shows, and comedic sketches. It debuted on September 4, 1996, the same day the Donkey Kong Country TV series premiered, and the block continued its run on the channel until September 1, 2001.

Production

“What could be more hip than turning the most popular 3-D game into a computer-animated series? Not only did "Donkey Kong" have a ready-made audience, but the lovable chimp lived in a cool place we'd all like to escape to- the jungle.”
—Computer Animation: A Whole New World

Donkey Kong Country was the first full-length television series to be primarily animated using motion capture,[6] using Medialab's proprietary technology which allowed the animators to see the performance play out in real time.[7] Due to this attribute, the company prefered to use the term "Performance Animation" to refer to the animation style of the show.[8] This caused controversy when the show was rejected for an Emmy Award nomination, the reasoning being that the TV academy did not consider the then-new motion capture technique to be a form of animation.[9]

After writers finalized the characters' roles and personalities, artist Phil Mendez worked on the concept sketches, taking care to keep the characters' appearance simple and geometric to make them easy to convert into three-dimensional models.[10] The 3D modellers grouped characters with similar bodies into "families" and used the Alias/Wavefront modeling software to build the digital skeletons, using the "families" as a base to create the individual model.[11] Characters' heads were modeled in clay and then digitized.[12]

Though groundbreaking, the use of motion capture came with many challenges. As the models had to work for both live motion capture and traditional keyframe-based animation, Medialab had to optimize the models to keep the polygon count low.[13] Writer Simon Racioppa explained that due to the format's limitation, the series bible heavily discouraged new locations and characters, and characters could not be animated picking up objects (although them holding objects was possible). Animating water was also considered "next to impossible".[14] Speaking of the differences between Donkey Kong Country and ReBoot, a 3D animated series that did not employ motion capture, producer Maia Tubiana explained that making the models required "experimentation, discipline, and the ability to live with a few compromises", an example being having to shorten King K. Rool's cape to not interfere with the animation.[15]

According to a post on a fan page by Nelvana writer Erika Strobel, Medialab had originally obtained the rights to create an animated series from Nintendo. After thirteen episodes were written, Medialab asked Nelvana for assistance after firing the original writers (who, according to Strobel, had produced scripts "with racist/sexist jokes and just sooo bad for a kiddie show").[16] As storyboards had already been produced for ten of the original scripts, Nelvana decided to write new stories around these storyboards to save money.[16] The songs, however, were included at the request of Medialab; all of the show's songs, as well as the title theme, were written by Pure West Music.[16][17] Nelvana purchased the rights to the show after Medialab's license lapsed.[16]

Early ideas

Early reference sketches for production depict multiple concepts that were considered but ultimately unused in the show proper, including the Animal Friends characters Rambi, Expresso, and Winky, a more game-accurate appearance for Candy Kong and a desert-like area for Kongo Bongo Island.

Releases and other merchandise

The Donkey Kong Country show is available on iTunes.

Four episodes were released together in North America on a VHS cassette titled Donkey Kong Country: The Legend of the Crystal Coconut. Said episodes were edited together to make them seem like one continuous storyline. However, these episodes were not put together in the proper order; for example, a flashback shown in the third episode actually happened in the fourth episode of the tape. It was released in Canada by Seville Pictures and Nelvana themselves, while in the United States, it was released by Paramount Home Entertainment. Advertisements and the videotape's packaging neglected to mention the program the episodes originated from, with it instead marketed as a standalone film (leading to some confusion among newer viewers of certain content, such as Eddie the Mean Old Yeti's brief appearance in "Ape-Nesia").

The DVDs Donkey Kong Country Vol.1 (released in Australia) and Donkey Kong Country - Bad Hair Day (released in the United Kingdom) feature several episodes of the series. Two other Australian DVDs, Donkey Kong Country: Hooray for Holly Kongo Bongo and Donkey Kong Country: The Kongo Bongo Festival of Lights, each only feature one episode. Three years after the release of the previous DVDs, an additional DVD titled I Spy With My Hairy Eye was released in England. There have been over 30 Donkey Kong Country DVD releases. Starting in 2013, Phase 4 Films, under its Kaboom! Entertainment label, began releasing the series on DVD in North America. On May 12, 2015, the company released the first season of 26 episodes in a 3-disc set. Nelvana once had the entire series available for free streaming on its official YouTube channel until it was turned into the official Wayside channel.

The series had a large line of merchandise in Japan, including a collectible card game by Nintendo and Ahomaro Games. A subsequent release of the card game featured characters and gimmicks based on Donkey Kong 64. The television series took over the TV Tokyo Friday 6:30 PM timeslot from Gokudo, and was later replaced by Hamtaro. As with most programs in Japan, the series has received home releases through rental tapes.

Trivia

  • Though the series is based on the first three Donkey Kong Country games, its iTunes listing background is artwork from Donkey Kong Country Returns, which released a decade after the series ended. As such, the background shows Rambi and members of the Tiki Tak Tribe, despite them not appearing in the series.[3]
