Frederator Studios Blogs Ape Escape Cartoons

[sonicfangamer2]

....How dare they call this lame excuse for a show Ape Escape?!

[udderlyabducted]

Were the parts with Specter actually doing stuff just made up for this promo?

All the shorts I've seen just have the heroes and the villains just keeping to themselves and never clashing, except for the one with the zombie apes.

[N0Onam3]

What the hell is this?

[RyukiVentus]

So instead english dubbing Saru Getchu on Air(Ape Escape Anime) they made this.... bad move...bad....move......

[arbitraryGamblignant]

When did Specter get a British accent?

[0gunman]

If nick can't get an animated budget, how the fuck do these shows get greenlitted!

[TechieWidget]

This cartoon is similar to The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, but AoStH was more memorable and better in terms of quality. I have a feeling Youtubers will one day make Youtube Poop out of this. I don't know if this cartoon is ever broadcasted in Japan, but I wonder what their reactions be if they ever see this. xD

The show is not too bad, but the characters need some work in terms of visuals. Are they too lazy to draw out Jimmy's actual hair style? It can't be that hard since they use Flash.

[TheLoveAmy]

I am not sure about even placing my eye balls on the TV screen when its on Nicktoons. They've totally ruined it. It seems ok but I'll give it about 3 weeks. It looks very sad. Ruined the characters, ruined the story. And the animated looking characters look.. soo, deformed? I perfer the animated japanese series. This is just disturbing to me. Except that phrase the monkey says is kinda of cute :/

[lolSonicX]

While the character designs were WAY off(except for the monkeys), the characters had different personnalities,the music is worse than Sorochi Terada, there are no gadgets,no monkey-catching action... it's actually a fun cartoon.(And WAAAAYYYY better than those stupid fairies.

[genkia87]

though, why arent the gadgets shown at all in the series

[genkia87]

although i highly prefer the anime over this, the show is actually not too bad

[TheEvilConductor]

.... *vomits*. Whyyy would they ass rape Ape Escape so much....

[TheSuperforestman]

Is this really gonna happen?

[WHEREisUPLIFT]

....................WHY. 

[charizardoreo]

well they were the makers of fairly odd parents

[momoonetwo]

this cartoon is wat got me into ape escape

[ishtheguy]

if their trying i mean.... ATLEAST put their REAL age!! he isnt 12!! hes like 10!! and wheres ash's voice?! :(

[momoonetwo]

@ishtheguy whos 10

[ishtheguy]

@momoonetwo jimmy

[Jewblob]

Ape Escape: Win

Ape Escape 2: Meh

Ape Escape 3: Weeabo's Paradise

Ape Escape 4: OH GOD NO! KILL IT WITH FIRE

[StarlightBlizzard]

this is fail.

[TehhCake]

Holy crap, this is disturbing.....

Watch the ACTUAL AE cartoon/anime!

Search this in Youtube (warning, it's in Japanese)

サルゲッチュ 〜オンエア (Ape Escape on air)

[Scottishsonic7]

its not on nicktoons anymore unless someone tells me

[WolfofSega]

We might was well wait until the show comes out. Curretly, only five episodes are subbed online(unless, of course, someone could lead me to more episodes.)

I currently find the links they put on their blog to be pretty good. I have complaints with Spector's voice, but it might change.

[GamemasterDM]

Is this out... Now?

[PipoTachyonYAY]

They ruined specter!!!

WHAT THE HELL NOW I WANNA MURDER THAT FOP DUDE!

good thing they didnt include the piotron trio- I dont want them to ruin blue!

hthey might give them... *DUN DUN DUN* NON ROBO VOICES!

the anime rocked- cant they just dub the anime and send THAT over here? it was amazing and i couldnt understand a word they were saying- it ROCKED! why fucking fredorator?!

[GamemasterDM]

@PipoTachyonYAY I agree in ruining Specter, not using Pipotrio, and they should've just made the regular anime english. But then again... It seems okay and well, the anime had cusses, but they could've just taken those out.

[foamyfan231]

......oh......dear....fucking.­...god XP

the series looks...okay to be honest, seems pretty funny but what they did to Spector, just pissed me off...SPECTOR WASN"T LIKE THAT!!! D<

[ShinyMijumaru1]

ooki!

[Street2646]

1:14 this is spike??

[MustardDie456]

@Street2646

NO!!!!!!!!!

THATZ JIMMY!!!!

Besides Spike has WAAYYY spikier hair.

[Vixenfox259]

To me ape escape is like ren and stimpy but less gross! XD

[Vextoz]

Did this.... ever actually air?

[devonjames10]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Did anyone grow a brain when they came up with this shit?

[Tsuguayme]

Frederator studios makes the Ape Escape cartoon? That's really REALLY unexpected.... wow....

The characters look demented in this show at times XD

[Disneygirly1982]

not to be mean but that just.......how would i put it.......i hated it......sry 4 all u fans out there who like it, but it was just retarded sry and the profeser jimmy and the red headed girl looked sooooooooooo retarded 2

[katc66]

and nicktoons ruin another good show -.-

[Robocheeseball701]

I really don't like their character model for Spike and The Professor.

[spongefreak26]

@Robocheeseball701 That's not spike

[Robocheeseball701]

@spongefreak26 Oh, is it Jimmy?

[subata45]

@Robocheeseball701 spike is waaaaaaay tooooo off model. he looks more like jimmy. and they made the professor fat.

[kavybatiste]

@subata45 um that is jimmy

[TechieWidget]

@subata45

That's not Spike. That is actually Jimmy.

I couldn't recognize that it's Jimmy until I saw the bandage on his nose.

[TheGamekid96]

Why does specter sound like a homo? XD

[kdcomics]

this cant be real they would not ruin a good game with a shitty ass show.

[JackalDeluxe]

When the hell did this happen

[thewhitemonkey64]

@JackalDeluxe it didnt

[LyricalHatsuneMiku]

when is it gonna come out?!?!?

[infernofern]

XD wtf is this allready showing i whount to see it

[MrAnon00]

Wow... just... wow....

[flacido400]

what the....

[RaldyV]

1:37 EPIC UKI.

[RaldyV]

Try Clicking 1:36

[whiteechidna]

It's strange how it looks so much like an average nick show, yet it's based of the game. I don't know about this show. I might watch it, just because it's Ape Escape.

[denardo43]

2 meny flaws in the cartoon

1.cartoon:specter has swirly nose . game:specter has no nose

flaw#2. cartoon jimmy has flat hair. game: jimmy has spikey hair

and ther are meny other flaws

[MokoziWorld]

it wasn't really that bad i watched the shorts

[The38DODGE]

I think people will watch the show for the monkeys. That's pretty much what ape escape is all about if you ask me.

[suntyro]

loooks promising

[ddrmaxman]

yep, they killed it. . .

[cheesernater]

looks awesome!

[Dryaxx]

FUCK NO. Why destroy such an epic game with this shit D:!!!!

[thokeJackass]

Uggi wuggi !

[psyckojoe]

i saw an episode of this once and ive never laughed as much as i did... so random and retarded...

it was like laughing at someone who say something completely stupid x10000

[RukiaNarutoLover]

This is obviously not real,Sony would never agree to make something so retarded happen

[sa8ma8ntha8]

@RukiaNarutoLover it actually exists ive seen clips of the show and stuff

[RavenUmbreon]

Oh wow they look dumb

[josh24214]

oh my good what a mind fuck and it noting normal about it the makers must be fucking mad as a hatter, what kind of moron can't see that specter was living in a banana house it's like Walt Disney in the Walt Disney castle some one bother to check i mean come on. in short form IT'S THE BIGGEST MIND FUCK OF THEM ALL!!!!

[masterfox3000]

OH GOD.

[Grahamx227]

My god this is terrible, it reeks of everything that makes American cartoons absolutely shitty...

[snatcherofpeachs]

this looks like garbage

[adrock4]

faggots just mad it's not anime styled

[Chdonga]

Ape Escape was a good 3D animu (look it up on Animu-Eden) but we don't need this shitty flash animation.

[Jarkkoreviews1]

lol 1:58

[faffone300]

ape escape 2?

[lordsigara]

no one liked jimmy its all about spike

[SuperSillyKitten]

@lordsigara I hate Jimmy too

[PrinceNakasuki]

@lordsigara i liked jimmy but in the game

[gameboy9402]

Has this even aired yet? I've been waiting a long time for this, and it never seems to be on...

[lordsigara]

@gameboy9402 i herd the makers of the game said and i quoit "this was not a good way of are creativeing with its poor humor so we rip are contract"

[FMAfiend]

specters voice should be more evil i think, and not some wierd accent. maybe you can ask 4Kids if you can borrow some voice actors and actresses. O.o

[CraZlikAFoXP]

I hate everything now. :0

[lordsigara]

come on for god sakes my child hood its getting shot up even more god sakes you took dbz,gijoe and i can go on but for god sakes how mush more are you going to take my childhood.spectator voice has also been raped dam you nick you blew it up dam you all to hell

[Kamikuru77]

OMG it's a flash cartoon on TV!

[ElParcero7]

Is That Red-Haired Guy Spike!?

[TheHuoDragon]

No it's Jimmy his cousin.

[KonaKonaKaabisteru]

... You know, I might actually watch this.

THIS IS SOO WHACKEDOUT AND FULL OF CRAPPYNESS, IT'S GOOD!!! (-lvl-)

[TheEmikodo]

1:47 to 1:49

[DisneyVideos2000]

Ape Escape Starring Nicktoons? Where's Specter?

[DisneyVideos2000]

This cartoon, fun for all ages, is based on the 1999 PlayStation game, "Ape Escape," created by the international game publisher, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Sony Corporation.

[lordsigara]

@DisneyVideos2000 no this is based on ape escape 2 now get your right facts MR.lawyer!

[DisneyVideos2000]

@lordsigara But, uh, I don't understand, what is it then? I guess this could be based on Ape Escape 2, but why isn't based on the first Ape Escape?

[DukeOnkled]

Oh you're just full of fun, aren't you?

[CharizardNoob]

WOOPS WHERE'D MY CHILDHOOD GO.

[ANIMEkh358]

at least they used jimmy and not spike......jimmy was gay anyway...

[lordsigara]

@ANIMEkh358 they ran out of hair jell

[Dreamcube017]

. ALSOOOO.... I started working on an English dubbed version of the Ape Escape anime. I've written the script based off the subtitles because I don't know Japanese. So if anyone has a better translation than the subs, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

[Dreamcube017]

You guys know that to get an anime over here is REALLY EXPENSIVE right? I guess that's why someone said jif companies weren't greedy.

Also, I don't think ALL anime english dubbed translations are that bad. ALSO, I'd rather NOT read subtitles if I don't have to. ..

[machinimafan77]

Wow this is lame! Sarugetchu (Ape Escape Anime) kicks this show's stupid ass! And Hikaru (and Specter, and everyone else) are badly drawn and sound like twats!

[vampstudios]

o.o whoa when i first saw this before i realized it was real at the beginning when i saw specter i thought it was a cheesy perody video but wow...specter sound horrible they should have gotten his voice actor

[TheKirb7]

America(sometimes japan)must fuck up good games with a shitty cartoon

[MD463]

i like it

[mdh0422]

this should of been a rabbids cartoon

[Pspimp]

I really don't think this exists, kids. Looks like the joke's on you all.

[KoiraDemoni]

HOLY SHIT THEY RUINED APE ESCAPE.

[Xenity]

I love this cartoon! The anime was crap to begin with anyway, since it brought nothing that was new to the series and just re-hashed old plots. xD

I think they've done the original games justice, since it was aimed at CHILDREN and not weeaboo fanbrats like yourselves! It's supposed to be stupid and funny!

And as for the animation and style, it suits the light-hearted mood of the show and besides: I'd like to see any of you whiny twits do any better. C'mon, I dare you. ;D

No love

Me xxx

[Fabio254]

You have to be trolling.

[Xenity]

Nope, sorry to disappoint. :)

[Fabio254]

Then you've got horrible taste and are pretty much completely out of touch with everything.

[majinbuusaga]

what? ive got horrible taste for not liking somting that looks like a 3 year old drew? come on!

[Fabio254]

I wasn't talking to you.

[Aerodeth]

Aww... isnt that cute? He thinks he's people.

[Fabio254]

I can't find any comment that your response makes any sense with.

[Aerodeth]

That's what 'View All Comments' is for, sunshine.

[Fabio254]

Yeah, I have it on 'View All Comments', dumbshit. You comment still makes no sense in context to what your responding to, honey-bunch.

[Aerodeth]

Ugh... and you STILL cant figure it out? It seems like you were notified that one of your comments got a response from me and you STILL cant figure it out?

I'll give you a hint, goose-face (and if you cant figure THAT out, Google Fabio and Goose!):

'Then you've got horrible taste and are pretty much completely out of touch with everything.'

[Fabio254]

Yeah, your comment still makes no sense in context to what your responding to. Is english not your first language?

[Aerodeth]

It clearly wasnt yours...

What exactly dont you understand? I'm dogging you for that high-and-mighty attitude you had earlier! Is that simple enough to comprehend or will I have to resort to turning it ino a children's song accompanied by dancing puppets to get my point across?

[TechieWidget]

@Xenity

Brought nothing new to the series?

The anime used characters and elements from the recent Ape Escape games at the time (2006-2007): Ape Escape 3, Ape Escape Million Monkeys, Saru Saru Daisakusen and Piposaru Racer.

Re-hashed old plots? *cough*

I watched both seasons of the show, and they are all different.

Done the original games justice?

They screwed up the credits by saying that it's based on a PS2 game called Ape Escape. To add in, Jimmy only starred in the 2nd game, not the 1st.

[Xenity]

@TechieWidget Oh hello Satoru003, still sucking the anime's cock hm?

This cartoon is made to pander to a younger audience, and they are right on saying the PS2 games because that is what the audience it is AIMED at will recognize the most. The younger generation won't recognize the original game.

I've also watched both seasons of the show and I still think they're a bunch of shit. But different strokes for different folks. I still think they did the games justice in this cartoon.

[TechieWidget]

@Xenity

So are you saying that it's okay to say that games like Super Mario 64 is on the Wii, just because the younger generation recognize the Wii more than the N64? *face palms*

[Xenity]

@TechieWidget Dude, they haven't made anything for the nintendo 64 for 10 years now. I'd say there is a pretty safe bet that a 12 year old would recognize the Wii over an N64. So yes. It's perfectly okay, infact I bought that game on Wiistore just a few days ago.

But that's besides the point and you seemed to have ignored most of my argument, I'd expect better from an 'intellectual' fanboy like yourself. Then again, you've not changed much from the last time I butted heads with you.

[CrashCrazE13]

@TechieWidget

And Jimmy was ten years old in AE2, not 12.

[TheEmikodo]

Anime "Ape Escape" looks better than a cartoony "Ape Escape".

[DroidArmyLeader]

At least the anime had its story but this cartoon wont have anything. Should all the AE fans begin the schedule to abolish this crappy cartoon?

[KTH96]

1) Specter looks retarded.

2)Spike should be the main character(he started it all).

3)Kei and Yumi better come into play, actually they should avoid this hell.

4)The animation is crap.

This is fail.

[mikeymuffin8]

@KTH96  lol i agree.

[BangersAndMashmonkey]

This is absolute RUBBISH!!!! Even the anime was better than this!!

[thebluekid302]

uki uki

[whoyoumean]

did they cancel it o,o

[Fabio254]

Hopefully.

[gigaEmpoleon]

Pure crap......

[dnlhern2]

I really don't know what to say...Looks decent and crap at the same time...

[zuperned]

funny :3

[RyokoRatchet]

...Wow O_O That's cheaply done.

Looks like it's animated by Flash (Which it is according to some resources).

Spector's voice amuses me though lol.

[jawsTeh]

pft, Flash animates better than that

[RyokoRatchet]

Agreed.

[thegr8estone]

Are you still going to get all the Episodes

[thegr8estone]

Is Spike (Ape Escape 1), Kei and Yumi (Ape Escape 3), and The Freaky Monkey Five (Ape Escape 2 and Ape Escape 3) are going to be in the cartoon? And can you get Episodes

[MegaPhoenixman]

not spike or Kei or yumi or the freaky monkey five or any one else that you said. its only Jimmy, professor, and Natalie plus Specter. This is going to be a bad cartoon.

[Daemonologist]

the only problems it faces its animation motion and style but well, it could have been worse if they had brought bad voice actors and bad pun lines, my ears would have bleed like the English dub Naruto

[Aeroshadow099]

Since when does specter look like a human and have a british accent? EPIC FAIL

[Aeroshadow099]

I can see why the running time for this show is 2 min. I think it needs a little(a lot)more work especially in the drawing.

[Aerodeth]

But Specter DOES kinda look like a human....

[mizzcatcher]

lol i love this show.

[TheSentinelStone]

This show is one giant WTF bomb.

[stevengt4]

dude this is sooo retarded. Fuck this crap Nick.

[Daemonologist]

its that not bad at least that some part of the jokes from fairy odd parents

[YayForCake]

*Sigh* The second Ape Escape game was my first of the series, but y'know... this is really not doing it justice. Sure, it's a quirky, humorous game but not quite in this way. Also, I'm wondering about when it airs in the PAL areas. "Who the hell is Jimmy? Or Natalie? I CAN'T TELL BECAUSE THEY LOOK TOO DIFFERENT FROM THE GAME!" (Seriously, Hikaru looks really stupid. I can't tell that that thing on his nose is a bandaid). THERE BETTER BE ACTION WITH THE NET OR I'M TOTALLY DISOWNING THIS.

[Diablovill]

ow...my childhood

[o0kyuji0o]

They ruined Ape escape. no further discussion can be made.

[Skeedaddy91]

I've seen some random episodes of the japanese anime series here on YouTube but these cartoons r not bad too.I don't think one can expect to see the videogame translated into episodes (also in the anime there were some cliches): plus if you think AE2 AE3 and everything AE-related coming after Ae1 are a little too childish, that's the best way to create an AE cartoon: a kid dealing with kid-like situations meant to make real kids laugh. I'd personally rather watch this than the other cartoon...

[hypyman45]

ur right i mean 4 example the adventures of sonic the hedghog compared to sonic x .............nough sed

[Khguy112]

-.- this looks absolutely shit! they do the same retarted stuff they do in shows like spongebob!

this isn't anything like the games!!

hopefully it'll be cancelled not long after it's released.

go to hell nick!!!!!

[AussieEvil]

Viacom ruins everything.

[Vyruz64]

OK, this is the last thing I expected to be turned into a TV series.

The animation looks rubbish, there's nothing to uphold a good plot, and the characters are just out of place compared to the game.

And the "made by the guys from" kind of advertising just gives them a bad name if this flops.

Only good thing I can say is that it at least has some sence of humor I can relate to, the sun getting cut in two by a monkey with laser eyes was at least funny enough to make me chukkle.

[Slamman]

UGH! Why didn't they just make english versions of the Japanese Ape Escape anime? That would have been a LOT better...

[jetpack1986]

well..this one maybe doesn't look right somehow! but still funnier than the original one! I'm looking forword for this one!

[bobinator1992]

OK, first up. I don't care at all if they use Spike or Jimmy. Hell, they can use the kids from AE3 if it would make the show any funnier.

Second! I really, really can't stand people who think anything from Japan is automatically a masterpiece. But this... this, no. No.

[MelodyAnimeFreak]

OK, I barely ever comment, but I NEED to vent my feelings on this....this.....monstrosity that Nicktoons has decided to air. OK, I like Saru Getchu On Air. I LOVE Saru Getchu On Air. It's my favorite anime EVER. But this......it's.....just......

[MelodyAnimeFreak]

WTH are they ON!? The creators of FAIRLY ODDPARENTS is trying to make a cartoon outta a game with an accual STORYLINE!? And what the heck is with this...ART!? And finally...HOW DARE THEY TURN COOL CALM COLLECTED SPECTER-SAMA INTO A FREAKIN' DERANGED PSYCHOPATH!?!?!?!? Up yours, Nick, UP. YOURS.

.....OK, rant over. That felt good.

[pachurisu7]

its not the creator its the producer you retard

[Sparx1]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­O!!!!!!!! Frederator, you FOOLS, what have you done!?! Do you realize that Ape Escape's appeal came from it's style? You've turned it into a drooling, snotting, retarded nickelodeon-ish crap-sack! You could at least have dubbed the Japanese cartoon, because this is NOT Ape Escape! Anyone who's young enough to enjoy this show whouldn't even know what Ape Escape *IS* anyway! TRASH THIS THING before you kill someone's freaking CHILDHOOD!!!!

[jawsTeh]

They messed up on pretty much every aspect, the only thing right is how the monkeys look and thats it, No one's hair was right, I doubt anyone acted as they should, not the monkeys, Jimmy (why jimmy btw? cause its like Jimmy neutron T_T and he looks like that kid from the replacements), Specter, and they practically told us that the Proffesor doesnt act the way he does. but hey, people dont want to see acuracy, people want to see stupid, zany antics :D

[Flamesword100]

WHY? Why would they turn something that i like to use to annoy munkeys be turned into... THIS!

Really it's just sad

[IMMAOJ]

wtf

[demonspoke]

where is spike and jake ??

they are screwing it up D: i mean i'll probly still watch this but it's just not gunna be the same

[LowCaloriePie]

Even the dreadful Ape Escape anime is better than this. It seems everywhere I turn a little bit of my childhood is being destroyed.

[SenorPwnageX]

You mean they went to the trouble of making an Ape Escape cartoon, and they left out the most memorable part of the game?!

I did not see an annoying jackass insisting that I race him to continue watching the show even ONCE.

[Flashshadow]

Why not just make more of the Ape Escape shorts from the Nicktoon's film festival?

[Iguanaray]

why you do this

I have no nostalgic memories of this game series but holy god this looks like everything that's wrong with cartoons in a nutshell

[KeijiDragon]

OMG. A cartoon based on Ape Escape, one of the most enjoyable PSone titles ever?!

...I really don't like this at all. This completely clashes what I thought was awesome about the first Ape Escape and turns it inside out. And they had to pick Jimmy of all people as the human boy over Spike. =\

This isn't gonna win a lot of the fans who grew up with original games. I can tell.

[124crazypipomenace]

were can i watch this and did nick toons stop airing it cause i cnt c it D:

[sweenigami]

how was this animated?

1000 monkeys on 1000 drawing desks?

[ShinyRayquaza2]

The cartoon Specter looks horrible :(

The video game Specter looks awesome :)

It's unanimous.

[Recruit173]

Ape Escape already had a cartoon. It was Saru Getchu, and if you looked hard enough on YouTube, you could find many episodes with dubs.

[eggbandicoot6]

yes it' gay, and why not hire the voice actors? and where the fuck is spike? i didn't ask for Fairy Odd Parents, and that anime... should someone dub it?

[Ulalafanboy]

Oh those are some really cute looking monkeys. Hope this show gets more episodes so a dvd could be released.
