Oggy and the Cockroaches: Next Generation also known as Season 8 is a flash animated series based on the long-running Xilam flagship series Oggy and the Cockroaches. It streamed on Netflix on July 28, 2022.
Plot
Oggy takes care of a 7-year old indian elephant named Piya and learns to be a good parent. Meanwhile, Joey, Marky and Dee Dee befriend Piya and make mischief with her.
Good Qualities
- It is a massive improvement over Oggy Oggy.
- The concept of Oggy becoming a parent seems decent.
- Like Poof from The Fairly OddParents and Baby Scrat from Ice Age: Scrat Tales, Piya is a nice new addition to the series (despite some flaws).
- Joey, Marky and Dee Dee return from their absents from Oggy Oggy.
- Kaycie Chase does a decent job voicing Piya and singing the new opening.
- Xilam didn't forget to bring back old characters too! Olivia, Bob and Jack.
- Some episodes also have some morals for kids and adults.
- "Nice Little Bear" teaches parents that they shouldn't say yes to your children all the time.
- "Ach-Who?" teaches kids to stay in bed when sick or else they might infect someone.
- "The Best Uncle" teaches adults that being the best parent is knowing what's best your child.
- The new opening is faithful to the original.
Bad Qualities
- Piya can be a Mary-Sue sometimes. She sometimes cries and screams, which can be annoying.
- The new art style used by the show, while still decently handled, feels like a downgrade as many of the details given to the characters (ex. Dee Dee's prominent teeth, Marky's duck lips and Joey's exaggerated angry expressions) fade away.
- Kevin, Bob's orange dog nephew, is an unnecessery new character. He is portrayed like a spoiled brat and gets away with his karma because of his uncle, Bob. However, he does have good moments with Piya.
- Speaking of Bob, he is flanderized in the series as a bully to Oggy and Piya. Although he was unlikable in the original series.
- Olivia yellow bow was rid of, not making her appearance in the series faithful to the original show.
- Xilam made an odd decision to combine 6 segments into one episode when the other two Oggy shows combined 3 segments.
- Some of the sounds were reused or overused, such as the baby crying sound when Oggy was somehow little and did something bad.
Reception
Tne Next Generation received mixed-to-good reviews and a 6.7 out of 10 rating on IMDb.
