Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
njdimic Many people today when they see this show say - "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHGHHHHHHH! HAPPY CUTE RACCOONS! TURN IT OFF, TURN IT OFF" Well, let me tell you, the Raccoons are way more then just bunch of goofy animals whose sole purpose was to sell toys. The characters are very well described. Particularly Bert who was in the first 3 movies just a comic relief character without some big purpose, and now he's the star character, while the original main characters, Ralph and Melisa gone into shadow. I'm only disappointed with Cyril Sneer who was a great villain at the beginning, and throughout the show, they gave him "Ebenezer Scrooge Treatment" and eventually he became good. I liked him way more as a bad guy. I also think that the later episodes were not so great as the old ones. The cartoon had transformation from a story of Raccoons as rebels who fought Sneer the evil tyrant, to an entire city made out of forest animals with not very mature and funny stories like it had at the beginning. I liked it more at the beginning. But even with lack of quality through time, this is very great cartoon which totally describes the expression - family TV. The other thing I just have to mention is great music and especially the main themes (the opening one, and "Run With Us" song at the end). If you like classic cartoons, this is for you! Watch it, believe me, you won't disappointed!
drawah64 This was a series with great voices, great music, great animation and great stories. In short, a wonderful classic cartoon. My favourite characters were Bert and Cyril, probably because they got the most development (although all the characters changed a bit over time). It's unfortunate that its DVD release seems to have stopped, but on the bright side, it'll probably be shown again in Canada when Teletoon starts its own Retro channel in spring 2007. And right now it's showing on Boomerang in the UK.The general opinion is that it went down a bit in quality towards the end, but even those episodes are still very enjoyable. The earlier, first season, and specials, were more exciting because they focused more on the raccoons fighting against Cyril Sneer's industrialism, rather than on the characters' moral dilemmas and social problems like the later ones. The music and animation was also better in the early ones.BTW, just to clarify, it was actually an English-Canadian cartoon, not French-Canadian.
xxlittlekittenxx 'The Raccoons' was the best! Now this was the best show that ever aired on the Disney Channel, and it's funny because as soon as it was taken off, Disney Channel just wasn't quite the same (though it was still cool because they still showed obscure animated specials and movies!).This was hands down the best cartoon of the '80s. There were a lot of fantastic cartoons, but this was the coolest one (though 'Muppet Babies' is way up there too). The animation's not cheaply done, the songs were great and added a lot of feel to the show, and the characters were both cute and interesting. It was also the only Canadian cartoon to be produced entirely within the country (just an interesting fact).My favorite episode is probably the one where Lisa takes up smoking under pressure from an old friend. It was touching, but not overly preachy. You could really learn a lot from this show, and it really needs to be either put back on American TV or released on DVD.
blue_dragonxx Ciril Sneer-The pigs, Cedric and his girlfriend (what was her name?), Bert, Melissa etc etc I loved them all including that funny crocodile. Great soundtrack, i loved 'you can run with us' part. Wow i don't know what else to say about it, The episode where the raccoons started up their own newspaper (the Evergreen News?) well that was one of the best.
