ANTICS: 1982 DONKEY KONG Plush Doll
Can we take a moment to appreciate the effort Teletoon’s animation studio went through to convey raw emotion? In this scene, you can see the disappointment and depression in Donkey Kong’s eyes as he’s told, rather than become resurrected to save his friends from doom, that his acquaintance, Eddie the Yeti, would rather go for a Snow Cone. The emotion conveyed in this scene rivals Pixar quality, and no other animation studio has ever come that far. Never has such an animation studio than Teletoon’s conveyed emotion at an early age of CGI, and that’s why Donkey Kong Country is my favorite show ever.
Wait a sec what the heck. Look at his eye.
I have to go Pre-Order Tropical Freeze one of these days. I can’t forget this ape.
