Funny enough the show was dubbed in India. Even a narrator was added. Each character had a voice. One day watching the show I randomly switched over to the English dub and was surprised that it was actually a silent show.
I remember there was an episode where bernie was so tired of zigs failed attempts at eating marina that he decided to make a fake marina out of cake himself and makes zig eat it and pretended that he finally “achieved his goals” which led zig falling into depression for some reason because he felt lonely now that marina was “eaten” by him, to the point where sharko (the dude that always beat him up because of marina) visits his house and starts playing ping pong with him and hanging out with him at the beach, and when zig saw the real marina, the dude starts HALLUCINATING to the point where he fainted and almost died💀
I like to think just like swiper zig has a pet peeve of certain bad habit here being lusting on eating mermaid meat which is why his friends tries to prevent him from into giving into his bad habit in hopes he can reform Also zig x sharko 🗿
So.... in conclusion, Zig is just starving, and makes eating Marina specifically his life goal, with no goal, he has no motivation nor purpose. That guy needs therapy, if was saner maybe the three will get along and be besties
I didn't knew that Xilam was from France until I saw the name "Marc de Pontavice" (executive producer and the founder of the studio) at the end of every episode of the series, which got me figured out where the shows came from.
I hate the fact that when the cruise ship is in danger.Instead of jumping down to the ocean,the sea creatures decided to stay in the lifeboat. Maybe they get too used to living on land that they forgot their former adaption to water.
Sharko and Marina are unironically one of the best couples in a slapstick cartoon. They're as great as iconic couples like Mickey and Minnie, Bugs and Lola etc.
@@The0320Angela yeah you don’t see that type of interspecies romance in cartoons that often, I wish they showed it more. Anime has iconic interspecies couples like Innuyasha/Kagome (wolf spirit and human), and Goku/ChiChi and Vegeta/Bulma (Saiyans with earthlings). Even magical girl anime have interspecies couples, a magical girl from Precure just got married to her mascot in 2023 in Otona Precure lol. Cartoons should do this type of thing more, it’s pretty adorable

They do that with literally every kid show that's normally supposed to have no dialogue. They did it with Oggy and the Cockroaches and Shaun The Sheep as well. And this has sadly resulted in me not being able to be properly nostalgic for these shows since I can only find the no dialogue ones instead of the Hindi dub
In one episode of Season 1, Marina wished to trade off her mermaid tail for legs, and inevitably, she struggles as she isn't used to walking on land. And yet somehow later in the 2nd season and beyond, Marina walks on land using her mermaid tail fins as feet without any trouble at all, while also not suffocating out of the water. And whenever she wears those magical sandals that give her legs, she still doesn't struggle with walking on land somehow?!
The idea of removing the character's skin as if they're just suits and zippers in _Zig and Sharko_ (and even in _Oggy and the Cockroaches)_ reminds me a lot of Spongebob Skin Theory.
Justin.Y, Happwer and you, are literally the kings of being EVERYWHERE. How's that even possible? Just how much do my interests coincide with all of you to keep bumping into each other?
Love the fact that someone actually chose to talk about this show, but it bugs me that you didn't mention marina's parents that show up in a flashback in s1. Because the crazy thing about that flashback was her mom is a mermaid but her dad was a human sailor, and the shack zig finds in the episode is probably where they lived. Poseidon being her father is probably a retcon or some other weird family situation, but felt like that is something that should have been touched upon. Anyways still a pretty awesome video
many retcons happen in the show tbh, every season the lore just increases and deleted half of its og lore. I also remember marina having parents, I have watched the show before. And the Poseidon being marina's real father makes no sense at all. There's another retcon storyline that Aldo (the cargo pilot/cruise captain) had married Marina and had a son with her. Which also got retconned again. in season 1 there was this cargo captain who always uh, crashed some weapons onto the island which zig uses to get marina, you can see him in the episode, later in season 2 he's literally retconned like King Neptune and was replaced by a cargo pilot guy who also never appeared again after season 2. They also retconned sharko's father. And apparently in season 1, MARINA HAD feet and legs which she didn't want later onwards the episode and traded it back for her fin. And now in season 4 she's super "ok" with the legs. which is kinda an "uhhh" moment (although she can switch from fin to legs from the flip flops).
So, Marina is basically an airheaded Calamari from _Cuphead,_ but the mom is the mermaid instead of a fish. If that is the case, then Poseidon being a dad implied that she was adopted, at least according to my headcanon.
I remember an episode where Marina finds a picture of what looks like her parents which is her mother who is a mermaid that looks like her and a human sailor and the show NEVER brings it up again
Yeah you’re right. Cartoons in general have a habit of more or less forgetting about family members of main characters after they appear for like one or two episodes
To me the show is kind of a cayote and roadrunner, slapstick cartoon💫😵💫. With lowkey a romcom about two goofy guys fighting over a cute girl they like, love triangle💔💞... It's a silly but cute show...
DUDE! You just revived a core memory ball in my head quarter! I REMEMBER WATCHING THOSE CARTOONS ENDLESSLY when I was like 5 y/o(I’m 17 now) I used to binge watch every episode, and I assume that those cartoons were produced by Rovio themself
The cage with the dolphin is a military outpost, the dolphin is a biological weapon they were experimenting with which is probably why he‘s so hyperactive
There are also a couple of things here that you forgot to mention that don't fit into the series: 1. The first season (the best) has a few moments that tell a story related to Marina, in one episode she discovers an ancient graffiti that shows the origin of the Mermaids and their ancestors. Besides, this 5:58 doesn't make sense since in the same first season it is shown that she is in fact the daughter of a sailor and a mermaid, not the daughter of the God of the Seas. 2. 12:27 This dolphin is actually a Veteran Marine from World War II who is out for his head and wants to blow up the island because he believes it is an enemy submarine. And in his two appearances he always succeeds, ending up with the entire cast in Heaven as ghosts and the dolphin jumping happily in the background, due he completes his mission. 3. 19:10 he forget the Moment when marina wanted to eat Zig, it's worth to mention. In this episode, which I believe is from the boat season. Sharko becomes the chef of the boat where he wants to serve Marina her dinner. But he is constantly interrupted by Zig and Bernie, Marina without her dinner gets hungry, to the point that when Zig and Bernie finally Arrives to her. She goes crazy due hunger and thinks that Zig and Bernie are the dinner so she throws at them to eat them up. They obviously run away from her but in the end she catches them and almost eats them like a snake, but they were saved thanks to the fact that Sharko was able to finish the dinner and throw it into Marina's mouth during all that time. Saving Zig and Bernie to be swallowed by the Mermaid. It's fun to see the plot twist, when the prey becomes the hunter.
Yeah, and the poor guy probably has some kind of PTSD too, considering he goes crazy every time he sees a boat, hallucinating it as an enemy battleship and being overcome with the urge to blow it up with his bombs.

season 1: the rock arc season 2: the castle arc season 3: the boat arc season 4: the legs arc edit: omg this is the first time my comments were discovered
Most of the slapstick humor in both _Oggy & the Cockroaches_ and _Zig & Sharko_ are absolutely brutal compared to the likes of _Tom and Jerry_ and _Looney Tunes._
This is another case of “This show is popular but nobody gives a sh- or even talks about it”-aah type of show I mean look at the views of the zig and sharko videos
As a Ex Zig and Sharko OG Fan I personally like Season 1's art style and Season 1 as a whole. S1's art style gave Zig and Sharko the same look as Oggy and the cockroaches while also giving the Mermaid (i forgot her name) an actual personality besides just combing her hair and making the other Fish 𝐹𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑘𝑦. I also just think that the season 1 art style feels more life like and not the souless Flash-animation that was Season 1-3 (Also Season 1 isn't available on Netlfix for some reason) Edit: I meant to say Season 2-4 instead of Season 1-3 when i was talking about the flash animation.
Also one more thing I enjoy about Season 1 is that Sharko and Marina (I googled search the mermaid's name) are both, you know? Aquatic. In season 2-4 they're like amphibians that can somehow walk on land like some form of evolving primordial soup.
Same its a shame the creator died. Maybe then the show wouldn't have became trash. Season 2[some episodes] were written but the original creator/writer wrote some of the episodes before passing[which I can see the writing in a way, compared to the other episodes I liked those episodes the most out of season 2. So aye! They should have tried to stick to a decent script like how the creator did instead of just nerfing it.
It is Xilam (the animation studio behind Z&S and Oggy) logic that sometimes when a character is stressed or angry they roll up their “sleeves” as a figure of expression because their bodies work as clothes. Sometimes human clothes and apparels are given to these characters to suit various episode contexts such as Oggy wearing his belly pouch wherever and whenever he goes on holiday. Basically it’s Xilam trying to become the next Warner bros even though it’s more likely they might be bought by Warner bros.
I always chalked up the strange occurrences on the island to it being in the center of the Bermuda triangle, or the Z&S equivalent of it. I also thought Zig got transported from Africa as a baby and some cargo shipper crashed as usual, leaving Mama ape a nice hungry hyena to help. As for the fursuit thing, that is less of a lore thing and more of a show gimmick imo, just like Tom and Jerry getting their faces squashed. Great video!
I always thought Zig was just a castaway who wanted to eat Marina for survival, which that's exactly what I thought of the premise as a kid. Now, it turns out that he actually lived in that island this whole time and took care by the gorilla, with Bernie and Sharko used to be friends until Marina enters the picture, and he can technically go back to Africa if he wanted to.
The funny thing about "Zig and Sharko" is that it actually got quietly rebooted. That is why King Neptune got replaced with that green vampire in the volcano, Marina's sailor dad and mermaid mom got replaced with [a different] King Neptune, and even the art style, humor, and background characters are different. In fact, I refer to the first season as "season zero," with "sand castle season" being the actual season one. Of course, "sea cruise" and "legs" being seasons 2 and 3 respectively.
I think why the island is considered "special" is because the island might contain it's own physics which explains the visual gags, weird occurrences and the fact there are people keeping watch of the island but it is not clear why the island is like that:/
This is mainly why I like the first season more, it looks better, the stories are simple and the characters were more enjoyable. Still, this show was my childhood
With the Oggy and the Cockroaches lore, the family tree of Oggy's family pretty much foreshadowed the movie's premise, alongside with the post-movie seasons.
I remember always rooting for zig in all the episodes, it was so angering seeing how that airhead of Marina literally survived only because of Sharko. Also Bernie best character
You should talk about Grizzly and The Lemmings, THAT SHOW IS ABSOLUTE Goated. Relativly Short compared to most with On an average feature about 78 episodes par 3 seasons. Which takes about....27.3 hours to Watch in entirety, I don't care what you do next, JUST PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE talk about it sometime or later.

There was one episode that i remember that wasn’t mentioned here, it was an episode where Marina finds an old cabin on the island and she finds a photo of a sailor and another mermaid who looks exactly like her but more older. She actually has a vision of them showing that they had a baby, showing us that the baby looks exactly like Marina as a baby implying that the Mermaid and The sailor are her parents and she’s their daughter
12:48 I think it’s because dolphin boy here is actually a military operative dolphin used for espionage. This was an actual thing back then where the military trained otters, sea lions, and dolphins to spy on enemy subs and ships using cameras like the thing the dolphin has on his fin here.
Also the dolphin probably has the PG version of PTSD considering he is clearly mentally not well and keeps hallucinating about ships or submarines and trying to sink them
The fact that I just now realized that I've watched this cartoon so many times (4 or more) that I can remember the context of the episode and its events just by looking at one or two scenes 💀
Maybe Zig got his priorities straight to take the bite out of the mermaid tail. It's the same logic as how Wile E. Coyote doesn't hesitate to chase Roadrunner when he could've order some food deliveries instead of buying so much ACME technology.
So while I did really watched this show a lot as a kid, i don‘t think it was anything after season 1. So when you said that Marinas Dad is Poseidon I was taken aback. not cause she‘s basically a Demigod, but because I remember there being a heartfelt episode about her discovering that her parents were a Sailor who fell in love with an mermaid. Did they really just retcon that?
Zig and Sharko is a VERY underrated show I grew up with Tom and Jerry through my childhood and then Zig and Sharko through my teen years, what amazing memories
I wouldn’t hobby judge. I’ve openly interacted with the community and find them to be pretty nice people. It also takes a lot of time, money, and effort to make the suits.
Zig's laugh is iconic. Why he didn't just give up and try other food? Like his plans though. His brain is larger than it actually is. And still wondering why Bernie didn't left him already considering he only think himself and uses him.
One theory I've got about the island is that it's in the Bermuda triangle, so weird stuff just- happens there. I remember watching this show, hell, I can't remember how old I was even! I still remember Zig's Iconic laugh XD
I’m glad there’s someone out there who’s willing to cover this show. Also, by any chance would you be willing to cover the lore of the “Dino Dan” franchise?
" More like that Erropting and crashing every living thing to kill and burn I hear the screams and the painful things to life and ash where died amongst of 8% Survived "
As a person who used to watch zig and sharko, I always found it weird that apparently sharko had a crush on Maria, when Maria was 14 and sharko like 40
Part of the reason why Zig fails so much is because he is the _SLOWEST_ eater in all of existence, some episodes are just him literally lowering her into his mouth like a CRANE.
TL;DR for why Zig has an obsession over eating Marina - Basically when Zig and Sharko were being friends, they saw a pretty mermaid whose name is Marina, and while Sharko was down for her, Zig thought differently, instead he thought of her as food, yes, *food.* After that the hyena and the shark became rivals towards each other because of it.
I'll recommend two shows for you to make a video on if you want. The first show is Kaeloo. It's a French cartoon about a group of humanoid animals with humor that (from what I remember) actually holds up. The second show is quite obscure. It's called "The adventures of Voopa the Goolash". This is a show I vaguely remembered from my childhood. It's set in a fantasy world inhabited by different races and it has some actual lore. I learned it was lost media until the episodes were found in the same small Greek TV channel I used to watch it on. Also the creator of the show randomly dropped all the plans for the series before it was cancelled on Reddit. The show is very short so I'll say Kaeloo is the safest option but I think both shows deserve recognition.
I like how you said that you disagree about how the show went bad after season 1, then proceeded to explain the key reasons why it went bad after season 1.
It is a talkless show just like Oggy but in both of these shows, the Indian dubbing scene gave each character voices and it made them both iconic as hell
I’m so glad someone is talking about this the lore is INSANE! My baby brother used to watched this at first I hated it but then got sucked in and started to love watching with him for all the insane dynamics and subplot
I remember staying up late up to midnight just to watch this show because due to timezone, the show would only air at that time. My mother would often time make some tea for me at the time while she goes on her work.
That’s called Cartoon Logic aka Squash and Stretching, where Cartoon Characters has the ability to do many things no human nor the animal the characters are based on can normally do
As a person who watched this when I was younger. I really liked this show and still do now. But looking back at it, it’s so bloody confusing. Idk how I never realised this.
I am Suprised how you showed a clip of the episode in season 1 where Zig uses a Mannequin he found in an old house in the jungle, but didn't mention any of the lore application from it, because in that episode Zig made Bernie use it so Marina thinks that the Mannequin is a new person so she hangs out with the Mannequin and when they are inside the house in the jungle Marina finds a Picture of a Sailor with a Mermaid, which are presumably Marinas original parents, which they then changed to Poseidon in season 2, also what about the I think it was a special? Not sure any more tbh, where Zig just goes to Africa and tries to live with the other Hyenas for a while? Like just asking because I kinda think that was some Important information as someone who remembers very fondly watching the first season and then slowly removing my self from the show by the second as I lost interest in the new stuff
I love how everybody had such a globally united experience with these talkless cartoon shows
Shows with the lack of dialogue makes everyone comes together no matter the language.
Funny enough the show was dubbed in India. Even a narrator was added. Each character had a voice. One day watching the show I randomly switched over to the English dub and was surprised that it was actually a silent show.
Because everyone watched them on Netflix when they were younger
@@chadgorosaurus4898 Actually, a majority of them watched on cable TV, like me.

As a frenchman I always thought these were famous American cartoons but actually so many shows of my childhood are actually pure french studios.
As an American, I gotta thank angry birds for introducing me to these French cartoons in the first place
I didn't knew that Xilam was from France until I saw the name "Marc de Pontavice" (executive producer and the founder of the studio) at the end of every episode of the series, which got me figured out where the shows came from.
Aye man thanks for creating oggy and cockrotches
as an american I always thought it was mexican or something because america doesn't really make talkless shows anymore
French?! No way i thought the usa made this
I hate the fact that when the cruise ship is in danger.Instead of jumping down to the ocean,the sea creatures decided to stay in the lifeboat. Maybe they get too used to living on land that they forgot their former adaption to water.
It's for the funnies
Don't forget. The crab got himself a spin-off where he forgets that he can swim.
Also in some instances when Sharko’s underwater, he needs to hold his breath, it irritates me for some reasons
@@BittersweetSunset exactly. He also doesn’t use his tail anymore and just uses his legs to swim. It’s irritating
Sharko and Marina are unironically one of the best couples in a slapstick cartoon. They're as great as iconic couples like Mickey and Minnie, Bugs and Lola etc.

There was like that one episode in Season 1 where Marina had legs because of what she wished (It’s not the sandals that changed the appearance)
One piece arc's be like

The ways in which Zig gets defeated are actually disturbing.
Most of the slapstick humor in both _Oggy & the Cockroaches_ and _Zig & Sharko_ are absolutely brutal compared to the likes of _Tom and Jerry_ and _Looney Tunes._

This is another case of “This show is popular but nobody gives a sh- or even talks about it”-aah type of show I mean look at the views of the zig and sharko videos
Its because is a show of little kids and the videos are just watched by lil kids
maybe because the newer seasons suck
@@Ahoy_jelly yeah maybe it’s that
@@Ahoy_jelly tbh S2 was the only bad one S1 and S3 are good And I didn't even know a season 4 even existed

As a Ex Zig and Sharko OG Fan I personally like Season 1's art style and Season 1 as a whole. S1's art style gave Zig and Sharko the same look as Oggy and the cockroaches while also giving the Mermaid (i forgot her name) an actual personality besides just combing her hair and making the other Fish 𝐹𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑘𝑦. I also just think that the season 1 art style feels more life like and not the souless Flash-animation that was Season 1-3 (Also Season 1 isn't available on Netlfix for some reason)
Edit: I meant to say Season 2-4 instead of Season 1-3 when i was talking about the flash animation.
Yeah the original style is much preferable.
@bluemushroom6925 Pretty spot on, the OG artstyle is more memorable and unique imo.
Also one more thing I enjoy about Season 1 is that Sharko and Marina (I googled search the mermaid's name) are both, you know? Aquatic. In season 2-4 they're like amphibians that can somehow walk on land like some form of evolving primordial soup.
I grew up rewatching s1 over and over, and then they added s2 and removed s1 when I was little and I stopped 😭
Same its a shame the creator died. Maybe then the show wouldn't have became trash. Season 2[some episodes] were written but the original creator/writer wrote some of the episodes before passing[which I can see the writing in a way, compared to the other episodes I liked those episodes the most out of season 2. So aye! They should have tried to stick to a decent script like how the creator did instead of just nerfing it.

It is Xilam (the animation studio behind Z&S and Oggy) logic that sometimes when a character is stressed or angry they roll up their “sleeves” as a figure of expression because their bodies work as clothes. Sometimes human clothes and apparels are given to these characters to suit various episode contexts such as Oggy wearing his belly pouch wherever and whenever he goes on holiday. Basically it’s Xilam trying to become the next Warner bros even though it’s more likely they might be bought by Warner bros.
bro i loved this show when i was a kid also BERNIE IS SO CUTE
I remember that he's actually jealous of Marina getting attention, so he helps Zig
YESS I AGREE
Ikr? He’s just so adorable:3
True
I always chalked up the strange occurrences on the island to it being in the center of the Bermuda triangle, or the Z&S equivalent of it. I also thought Zig got transported from Africa as a baby and some cargo shipper crashed as usual, leaving Mama ape a nice hungry hyena to help. As for the fursuit thing, that is less of a lore thing and more of a show gimmick imo, just like Tom and Jerry getting their faces squashed. Great video!
I like how I guess Zig could technically go back to his family like how his cousins come to visit but he just doesn't
@@thecapitalg He has his priorities ; )
@@thecapitalg He has a mission and probably don't like them
Toonforce
I always thought Zig was just a castaway who wanted to eat Marina for survival, which that's exactly what I thought of the premise as a kid. Now, it turns out that he actually lived in that island this whole time and took care by the gorilla, with Bernie and Sharko used to be friends until Marina enters the picture, and he can technically go back to Africa if he wanted to.
The funny thing about "Zig and Sharko" is that it actually got quietly rebooted. That is why King Neptune got replaced with that green vampire in the volcano, Marina's sailor dad and mermaid mom got replaced with [a different] King Neptune, and even the art style, humor, and background characters are different.
In fact, I refer to the first season as "season zero," with "sand castle season" being the actual season one. Of course, "sea cruise" and "legs" being seasons 2 and 3 respectively.
@@OmarAlikaj I like to think of seasons 2-4 as being a separate series, similar to how Oggy and the Cockroaches Next Gen is technically.
i loved the first season too. the art style was awesome. the other seasons are lifeless

I think why the island is considered "special" is because the island might contain it's own physics which explains the visual gags, weird occurrences and the fact there are people keeping watch of the island but it is not clear why the island is like that:/
Toonforce
Maybe the Island took place in the Bermuda Triangle, which explains the toon logic and magical occurrence that happened in the show.

I actually want him to explain the lore of Oddbods and Oggy & the Cockroaches now.
holy sh!t i remember oddbods
With the Oggy and the Cockroaches lore, the family tree of Oggy's family pretty much foreshadowed the movie's premise, alongside with the post-movie seasons.
Oddbods is the feveriest fever dream to ever exist tbh
I remember always rooting for zig in all the episodes, it was so angering seeing how that airhead of Marina literally survived only because of Sharko. Also Bernie best character

There was one episode that i remember that wasn’t mentioned here, it was an episode where Marina finds an old cabin on the island and she finds a photo of a sailor and another mermaid who looks exactly like her but more older. She actually has a vision of them showing that they had a baby, showing us that the baby looks exactly like Marina as a baby implying that the Mermaid and The sailor are her parents and she’s their daughter

Ay fellow portal masters
YES THIS SHOW IS FIRE 🔥
Definitely a peak childhood show of mine
12:48 I think it’s because dolphin boy here is actually a military operative dolphin used for espionage. This was an actual thing back then where the military trained otters, sea lions, and dolphins to spy on enemy subs and ships using cameras like the thing the dolphin has on his fin here.
Also the dolphin probably has the PG version of PTSD considering he is clearly mentally not well and keeps hallucinating about ships or submarines and trying to sink them
FINALLY A VID ON THIS SERIES!! I’ve been looking for one for years
The fact that I just now realized that I've watched this cartoon so many times (4 or more) that I can remember the context of the episode and its events just by looking at one or two scenes 💀
Why Sharko doesnt give anything to Zig to eat, obviously he and Marina have food.
Maybe Zig got his priorities straight to take the bite out of the mermaid tail. It's the same logic as how Wile E. Coyote doesn't hesitate to chase Roadrunner when he could've order some food deliveries instead of buying so much ACME technology.
He might have mental disorder
Bro has beef with a hyena
@@MrIrdatlan also because sharko loves messing with zig he looks more concerned when zig wasn't around compared to the time marina wasn't there
So while I did really watched this show a lot as a kid, i don‘t think it was anything after season 1.
So when you said that Marinas Dad is Poseidon I was taken aback. not cause she‘s basically a Demigod, but because I remember there being a heartfelt episode about her discovering that her parents were a Sailor who fell in love with an mermaid. Did they really just retcon that?
Yes they retconned that
Uhh guys did no one notice how.there's a nude drawing of the mermaid at 12:58 😳😳

I wouldn’t hobby judge. I’ve openly interacted with the community and find them to be pretty nice people. It also takes a lot of time, money, and effort to make the suits.
@@desmondschneider5397 erm hold up, if it’s so expensive and time consuming then don’t make them lmao
I remember watching this show on Netflix, and I'm very surprised the show ran for that long in 2024. That's crazy
Why crazy? Not crazy at all.
Zig's laugh is iconic. Why he didn't just give up and try other food? Like his plans though. His brain is larger than it actually is.
And still wondering why Bernie didn't left him already considering he only think himself and uses him.
One theory I've got about the island is that it's in the Bermuda triangle, so weird stuff just- happens there. I remember watching this show, hell, I can't remember how old I was even! I still remember Zig's Iconic laugh XD
how to make a memorable animation series:
1. be french
2. no talking, only noise
I’m glad there’s someone out there who’s willing to cover this show. Also, by any chance would you be willing to cover the lore of the “Dino Dan” franchise?

What is the show called? Haven't heard of it since 2017.
@@Saysikern68The name if the show is Owl & Co. It was on Boomerang in Europe and Africa.
As a person who used to watch zig and sharko, I always found it weird that apparently sharko had a crush on Maria, when Maria was 14 and sharko like 40
Sigma hyena kidnaps Godly appeal woman while mogging beta shark
Part of the reason why Zig fails so much is because he is the _SLOWEST_ eater in all of existence, some episodes are just him literally lowering her into his mouth like a CRANE.
TL;DR for why Zig has an obsession over eating Marina - Basically when Zig and Sharko were being friends, they saw a pretty mermaid whose name is Marina, and while Sharko was down for her, Zig thought differently, instead he thought of her as food, yes, *food.* After that the hyena and the shark became rivals towards each other because of it.
I'll recommend two shows for you to make a video on if you want.
The first show is Kaeloo. It's a French cartoon about a group of humanoid animals with humor that (from what I remember) actually holds up.
The second show is quite obscure. It's called "The adventures of Voopa the Goolash". This is a show I vaguely remembered from my childhood. It's set in a fantasy world inhabited by different races and it has some actual lore. I learned it was lost media until the episodes were found in the same small Greek TV channel I used to watch it on. Also the creator of the show randomly dropped all the plans for the series before it was cancelled on Reddit.
The show is very short so I'll say Kaeloo is the safest option but I think both shows deserve recognition.
Honestly I was half convinced that this show was just a crazy feaver dream I had as a kid
I like how you said that you disagree about how the show went bad after season 1, then proceeded to explain the key reasons why it went bad after season 1.
The owl is probably foreshadowing for what Mung's covering next
Grizzy and the Lemmings would go hard as the next lore video
It is a talkless show just like Oggy but in both of these shows, the Indian dubbing scene gave each character voices and it made them both iconic as hell
I’m so glad someone is talking about this the lore is INSANE! My baby brother used to watched this at first I hated it but then got sucked in and started to love watching with him for all the insane dynamics and subplot
A lot of the shows you’re covering are shows of my childhood. Thanks for the great videos, man. Keep up the good work.
17:42 i think that was meant to be a blueprint for what WILL become of him, not what he IS.
I remember staying up late up to midnight just to watch this show because due to timezone, the show would only air at that time. My mother would often time make some tea for me at the time while she goes on her work.
We need more Xylam animation studios lore explanation..
DO OGGY AND THE COCKROACHES
Sharko: I need to save the queen
Zig: *EAT.*
I’m pretty sure Zigg love Marina but confused it with hunger
That’s called Cartoon Logic aka Squash and Stretching, where Cartoon Characters has the ability to do many things no human nor the animal the characters are based on can normally do
As a person who watched this when I was younger. I really liked this show and still do now. But looking back at it, it’s so bloody confusing. Idk how I never realised this.
I used to binge this show when I was a kid😂
Omg i loved Zig and Sharko so much as a kid
I never thought someone would be talking about the lore of Zig and Sharko, but here we are
0:57 Such great words from a legend.
There are 3 seasons after the only season I watched?!??!!
And a half season
@@anajuhas782 insanity
Tbf i prefer the first season. Season 2 feels like a reboot.
My guess with The Adventures of Bernie they wanted to make more episodes, but chose not to which is why there's no finale.
Just in case anyone else noticed/knows, but the first music he uses in the vid during the intro is from skylanders right?
Amazing video, hope this obscure lore series continues, also can you do nerds and monsters next?
I am Suprised how you showed a clip of the episode in season 1 where Zig uses a Mannequin he found in an old house in the jungle, but didn't mention any of the lore application from it, because in that episode Zig made Bernie use it so Marina thinks that the Mannequin is a new person so she hangs out with the Mannequin and when they are inside the house in the jungle Marina finds a Picture of a Sailor with a Mermaid, which are presumably Marinas original parents, which they then changed to Poseidon in season 2, also what about the I think it was a special? Not sure any more tbh, where Zig just goes to Africa and tries to live with the other Hyenas for a while?
Like just asking because I kinda think that was some Important information as someone who remembers very fondly watching the first season and then slowly removing my self from the show by the second as I lost interest in the new stuff
I watched that when i was younger...
I feel nostalgic...
The answer for why they can just blow up, switch parts of their bodies ecc... Is... They are fu**ing cartoon characters of course they can do that
Saw this and knew I had to click
Love this show so much
There was a episode in season 1 where they all went to the main land, I don't know if it has any importance I just think it's worth mentioning
