Hello lords and ladies.
Welcome back to Cartoon Hangout, your place for all things cartoon.
I didn't know much about this show going into it, but after just now watching the pilot
and episode 1, "Itch to Explore," I get huge Kids Next Door vibes from it.
That's not only a compliment but also a good way to conceptually describe Craig.
The series follows three friends, Craig, Kelsey, and J.P, and their adventures in and around
a creek they live near.
The creek operates as a vast playground of sorts for the kids of the neighborhood, a
kid utopia as it's described.
A place where they can be who they want or what they want to be.
Anything from paintball wars to exploring the unknown parts of the creek.
And much like KND, the children have their own little economy and culture.
And I love this as it makes room for plenty of stories and fun to be told throughout the
series.
At the center of it are three incredibly likeable protagonists.
Craig, the more normal one of the group; Kelsey, who monologues pretending she's a hero along
with her 'falcon' Mortimer; and the dumb one, I suppose, JP.
The show does a splendid job of making you care about these characters.
In fact, it really takes no time at all before you fall in love with these three little weirdoes.
Probably because the show is relatable.
Adults can watch this and think back to a time when they were having adventures in their
woods or near their creek.
I myself recall such times, like when me and my sister formed our own KND group or pretended
to have our own adventures in the woods.
I think this show captures that innocent adventuring quite well.
Episode 1 sees the characters venture into a large field of poison ivy hoping to make
a name for themselves among the kids of the creek.
Their overreaction to common poison ivy and everyday situations is what gave me the KND
vibe and it's really funny.
Especially Kelsey who I ended up liking the most because of how weird her narrations are.
And there's even a lesson about wanting a space of your own carefully snuck into the
episode's plot, which was nice.
I think this show is going to be really popular among kids, heck even adults.
It doesn't really talk down to anyone, so far at least.
Which means easier accessibility for any age group.
While the animation style isn't thinking outside Cartoon Network's box, it's still
not unpleasant to look at.
I can very easily recommend Craig of the Creek.
It's a fun, relatable show about the adventures you can have as a kid.
Even in the most mundane of settings, like a creek.
If you'd like to see me review this full time, let me know.
Sadly I'll be taking a break for 2 months from Youtube, but when I come back I'm open
to picking up the latest episode and going from there.
For now let me know what you liked about Craig of the Creek.
And now I'd to take the time to thank my patrons over on Patreon for supporting me.
So thanks to Yasemine, I really appreciate it.
