Why It Rocks

  1. Marsupilami made his animation debut.
  2. It was the very first time Marsupilami SPEAKS, thanks to his voice actor, Steve Mackall.
  3. Marsupilami's character design was 100% faithful to the comic book line by Belgian artist André Franquin.
  4. The animation was superb for the early-1990s standards.
  5. Great voice acting.
  6. Some new characters, including Maurice the Gorilla, was introduced for this series.
  7. The smooth backgrounds was pure jungle-like.
  8. While this show was a cult following in America, it became very popular in Europe.

Bad Qualities

  1. Not very faithful to the source material
    • Most of the characters from the Marsupilami franchise, especially Bring M. Backalive, doesn't appeared for this series. Bring M. Backalive was replaced by Norman.
    • Some people who are fans of the original comics don't like it when Marsupilami speaks.
  2. The theme song was extremely clownish.
  3. Maurice the Gorilla provides too much gross-out humor.

Trivia

  1. Several Marsupilami clips are featured on Pinata Farms.
  2. On October 22nd, 2021, Marsupilami was added as a text to speech on Uberduck (until the great purge of 2023) and FakeYou.
