Jesus that show was so bad it was good, loved it as a kid. The song's are still great though.
How did Nintendo end up making it? And why haven't they made a new tv show based on their characters?

They've made Fire Emblem, Kirby, and even F-Zero anime since then.
Surprised they haven't tried more recently

As a child, my brothers and I would watch it in the morning.
Early CG cartoons like this and Reboot were so awesome to my child self growing up.

If you're gonna expand dong, expand it to feature-length.

A lot of timeless gifs have come from that show.
Never thought it was particularly good in any regard. Nintendo had some entertaining shows over the past decade or two, if not "good", but it was just a little too weird for no good reason (except the hurdles of early 3D animation, I suppose).

Yep, used to love that show.
Fun fact: The animation company behind the show also made a postmodern sketch show starring DK and friends that aired in France for 5 years.
It's pretty amazing.
It's pretty amazing.
It's worth watching for Spanish speakin' gaffers, if only to hear Mijares as the singing voice of Donkey Kong.
Tell me he doesn't sound the exact same, holy freakin' hell
I do remember.
Unfortunately?
I watched like one episode of it

No one ever remembers the Rayman TV series

Damn Donkey is so swag. And that girl knows how to handle a banana.
Man, I used to watch this every week as a kid but I had totally forgotten it existed. I feel old now.

It's not great, but I thought it was a pretty decent show. I laughed really hard at the treasure episode's final twist.

This show is the bane of my existence.
I love how they only hired DK's voice actor for his singing voice... And then hired only DK's voice actor for his singing voice. So you have a big damn gorilla with a sweet, milky singing voice, but all the other characters just have basic cartoon voices, even when they're trying to sing.
My friends and I also loved to get together and play "Find the animation error" every time we got together and subjected ourselves to this trainwreck. Like, we knew it was awful, but we enjoyed how appalling it was somewhat. So imagine this...
But with a slight grin. I dunno. This show is a classic in the same way that The Room is a classic. It'll forever hold a place in my heart.

They didn't? I think it was outsourced to some company in France, of all countries.

Wait, there's a Rayman series? I have to look this up.
