Steeee-eyyyy-eyyyyyy-gosaurus...

Whether it's playing in your local area, country or home, I highly recommend you track down "The Big Green Rabbit Show", purely for the animation sequences. Having caught several dozen clips of the song montages (including the popular "Rhino Song") I took time to properly examine each and everyone. Granted, it's not pencil and paper, but the animators and designers behind them seems to have made a lot of effort to make them so wonderful to look at. With a good blend of tweened and smooth frame-by-frame animation, fantastic designs for every animal and a number of very catchy songs, this series is far more advanced than your average childrens show - and yet it appears to be so underrated. Too much focus on Dora and bloomin' Diego, far as I know...


One particular scene I enjoyed most is the Stegosaurus song, with a belter of a singer behind the character in mind. Many nippers might not even get that this is a fun parody of "American Idol/X Factor", but for those who do watch and enjoy. Be sure to keep an eye out for the judges as well, who appear to resemble a few familiar faces... XD

Boom Da Boom

At the time it was on, Disney's House of Mouse was a tremendously clever series, and was more than just another form of showcasing the modern day shorts previously shown under the title "Mickey Mouseworks" - the creators and writers of this series knew how to treat the characters; they adored everything relating to Disney and, naturally, was filled with in-jokes and references a-plenty - some new to the younger generation but at the same time familiar and hilarious to the older, "veteran" Disney fans.

This, IMO, is the funniest thing that came out of this series. Nothing is scarier than seeing "Peg Leg" Pete dancing in a pink tutu, but it's worth it to hear Jim Cummings' fantastic take on Goldo's Boom Da Boom. The animation is one big dizzy trip - surreal but, again, funny as Hell XD

Here's the actual footage for your enjoyment. But as I couldn't find the full English version, I took the footage of a German clip instead and replaced it with the proper soundtrack 8-)
