the cartoon series is actually pretty good. Netflix has the entire 40 episode series on instant viewing. I think three or four of the episodes were never aired, for some reason or another.
I've watched the first four, and they are better than I remember. I thought Randy was the most useless character ever, analogous to "Pete" from the original cartoon series (more on that in a bit) but so far he's not nearly as annoying as I remembered him to be. so there's a plus already!
the show really follows almost the exact same formula as it's cartoon predecessor, in that our heroes have a boat they take all over the world and "Godzilla" follows them around for whatever reason they can think of. I don't remember if they have a call button later on, but NIGEL takes the place of Godzooky more or less. the monsters they find are all "mutations" more or less, just enlarged animals, if I remember correctly. not real monsters like they should be.
it's too bad the design is so not Godzilla. at least they added the atomic breath. I know I hate cg tampering, but this is one time I wouldn't be adverse to seeing someone add a real cartoon Godzilla into this series.
oh, I'm going to hell for that.
