I'm a full grown man and I must say I love this show. It's so sweet, and it is a bit allegorical to what is happening to animals in general now days. The show actually educates a little bit on this, and the vision of the show is the importance of animal conservation. The main character in the show, especially the antagonist, are a bit of stock but it is still a great show. It is also more interactive than other shows with short bonus videos with different endings related to the episodes at the end each one.

Netflix sure took some bold step in investing making this series. To be frank, the animation was pathetic in addition to story. The story was too childish. Even my nephew, 16 years old, couldn't watch it beyond second episode like there is nothing to watch in this show. He watches even the tiny TV kids shows having short but better plot. But this was, don't know what's in the creators mind. May be he wants to show somehow how it will be if animals become extinct in the future and how pathetic and evil we are and never learn our lesson in the most worst way possible. Those upgrades, dialogues, expression and responses of characters was not just childish but more idiotic. May be it is a trail to show action in more comical and childish way which was a complete failure and humor, I couldn't find it anywhere. We can't really tell for which age group this show was made. Anyway, it is a very bad show. I felt so idiotic watching the first three episode with that kid, cause I like cartoons myself, and so does he. Wish they will stop with the first season.

Kong of the Apes is a good fun kids Netflix original show. It follows the adventures of a futuristic King Kong as he and his friends protect the people and nature from a jealous super villain cyborg and his robotic dinosaur army.The show is predictable,as are most kid shows when viewed by adults.It teaches kids that the natural world must be protected and is easy for them to understand. The humor is harmless classic kids stuff. Adults may or may not be amused depending on their humor type.By far the coolest feature of this show is the unlocking system. Each episode you watch unlocks items and "battle" episodes which encourages kids to watch the WHOLE show if they want the extra content.So it feels like a game.I recommend this to as a parent to parents who believe teaching their kids to protect the natural environment, and like a little Sci-fi fun with dinosaurs!

Spoilers ahead as if you couldn't see where it is going moments in.The show is set in the near future where man has destroyed almost all the rain forest and poachers outnumber the animals they hunt. Kong starts off captured as a baby and the ship they are in crashes. Kong is saved by a boy who befriends him. Time passes well enough showing Kong growing over the matter of seconds as they run out to play. Then Kong for no reason given or even looked into seems to grow from about eight feet to around fifty feet in the time it takes the family to run outside.First off this shows animation is very lazy and boring. It is done by the man who mad the Pac-Man show who i couldn't get though a few episodes of that either. During the show pop-ups appear telling you that Kong got upgraded like its a video game. The closest to a game it gets is small shorts between episodes that have zero bearing on anything. The show does also love to tell you how humans have destroyed the environment yet the cities are very clean as are the skies. Every animal is the last of their kind except one but don't worry even though there are two only one makes it though the first episode. The plot in this show is so transparent you can tell where it is going seconds after introducing someone. Oh dotting old father with poor health what could happen? Twin boys one loves nature the other hates it. Build a theme park with animatronic dinosaurs and a live giant gorilla and somehow the last living gorilla gets the attention of the park guests to the shock of the smart brother. The jealous brother sending his dinos to attack Kong over and over.I couldn't even make it though two episodes of this trite. A girl calls the maid of the house and is just at that time attacked by a giant anaconda that she didn't see under the bird ten feet from her. The maid asking for help to hurry and rescue her niece stops to bake cookies before sending the boys on their way. Who in a valent rush to save the girl who is thousands of miles away being attacked by a giant snake take off then go back to build something to bring Kong taking untold hours before they are able to leave again. Then they bring up the fact that humans wiped out the rain forest so this beast must have migrated because it had no where to live.At this point i turned it off i assume by the time they get there the girl is digested due to the time they took. This show is about as subtle about the environment as Captain Planet. They could have gone the route of Sonic AM where you see something bad happen and its effects rather than try to make you feel bad for being a human.Netflix has some great originals for kids like King Julian and How to Train Your Dragon. Then they have crap like this that makes me mad they wasted money on it.Out of boredom before this i was watching Dinotrux a show about dinos who are machines from cranes, dozers, dump trucks, rock grinders and earth movers. A show streaming bright colored toys buy me is a hundred times more mature than a show based on a classic movie monster.Now lets keep this in mind of what that means. When King Kong came out it was one of the biggest monsters in horror. He was the equivalent to Freddy Kruger of his time. Yet the show he is in now is less mature than a show made to sell toys.I love monsters like Kong and Godzilla i would love for Netflix to make a good TV show out of Kong but this show is past saving. Im in hopes they scrap the idea and start over. King Kong could be a huge blockbuster show but not with this studio touching it. I would treat this studio like they did the rain forest in their show. I would slash and burn them to never look back.
