AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
smetin I loved this show as a kid. It was the classic set up of a smart character being thrown into crazy situations by a fool. It worked and it made me chuckle. I am sure it would not be allowed to air given the current standards for kids shows. The humour is just so foolish that it defines the television being referred to as "the idiot box". I recently rewatched this show at the age of 25 and have to admit that i still found it funny. The idiocy of the show was great, but I now realise there are so many dark undertones to the show. It is full of adult humour that I am sure my parents would have been laughing at whilst I watched this as a kid. Some of the episodes I disagreed with, as they gave the wrong message. The prime example of this was the episode where Weasel makes friends with a banana who dies. How does he mourn this loss? By eating his friend in a pie. Not the best message. Another example was when Weasel is cast aside and he spirals into a depression where he is homeless and drinking eggs out of the shell to mimic alcoholism. Again, not the best idea for impressionable children. Aside from this, I had very little against this show and found it a great way to unwind after a long day.
Starfighter John I AM WEASEL is not as innocent as Cow and Chicken. It is more adult. As predictable as these characters are, just when it seems to get tedious, the plot takes an unexpected turn. This keeps things fresh. Weasel is the kind of character that is an over-achiever but rarely seems boring. Baboon will usually do the one thing you'd least expect and that keeps things from settling down for too long. Is it for the kids? Maybe, but not young ones. Adults will enjoy it though. Is there any chance that they will ever make new ones?In all a cartoon that is innovative and fresh. Too bad that more weren't made.
zerosoftwaregroup The one (and only?) common thing is the Red Guy, probably the most notable character in cartoons history. Michael Dorn and Charlie Adler are truly a perfect pair of voices.I just remember now IR & IM Weasel as viking warriors, ancient Rome gladiators, or Reg Guy making Lady Mariam or Caesar - I don't think this kind of humor is present elsewhere.A definite five star for this show.
iamweasel_1999 I Am Weasel is perhaps one of the greatest cartoon shows of all time. The voice work from genius Charlie Adler on the characters I R Baboon and The Red Guy is terrific, and Micheal Dorn's voice is the perfect voice for Weasel. You would think the show would have sort of a "Pinky and the Brain" feel to it, because of the way the main characters are set up. Weasel is a highly intelligent Weasel, and Baboon is a complete childish oaf. However, the surrealistic and at times rude qualities of this show take it to a whole new level. You could let your kids watch it if you want, but there are many "adult" jokes and references, though they are not nearly as blatant as, say, South Park or the Simpsons. You have to watch the show to truly understand it. This is the second of Creator/Director/writer David Feiss' cartoons made for Hanna-Barberra/Cartoon Network, the first being of course, Cow and Chicken. If you like shows such as Ren and Stimpy, Cow and Chicken, or Rocko's Modern Life, you will surely love I Am Weasel.
