Perhaps? Because the writing will still be intact because there's no change in the writer room, the change is solely on the animation.

@@cyanado2697 Yes, I thought it was excellent. Such interesting concepts were touched on and explored.

Ehhh, The writing was flimsy, and the season felt SUPER rushed compared to the other seasons. Doesn't help the fact we're now stuck with perma dookie-butt quality animation for the rest of the series.

Sure, the new animation is going to take a while to get used to but as long as the story and characters remain consistent that's fine by me.

We should give Wild Brain a break like you said they probably had to work overtime and even though I don’t like the use of the 3D models I think that was the choice they were left with for the season and if Monkie Kid really is coming to an end next year I hope it goes out with a bang.

That's also one of the things right? Like, usually when a show has a chance, the whole show suffers. And yes, granted, in those first few seconds I could already tell the animation changed. But if the show isn't different, who cares. Tbf tho, the new styles gonna take some getting used to 💀

Honestly, considering the inconsistencies from the pilot and the first season compared to what we got in later seasons, even Flying Bark needed time to get used to animating Lego style characters. So it doesn’t surprise me that WiledBrain needs to get used to the style, too. The writing is still great, and the quality drop isn’t a serve as I was expecting when I saw people’s reactions. Also, considering WildBrain isn’t unionized and Flying Bark is, it’s possible that had a hand in things too.

@BuizelCream

Their puppet rigging did get better as the Season progressed, I noticed. What I can hope for future seasons is seeing them increase the sophistication of their 2D rigging techniques that it adds more dimension to the movements, making their models appear less paper doll like if it's necessary for the style of the scene.

Wildbrain did a pretty good job at recreating the animation style as best they could, given they specialize more in 3D shows...plus it did get better as the season progressed and it was their first attempt, I feel like with some practice and getting used to the style they will nail it.

Considering Lego even decided to make the switch to Wildbrain, I'm confident will get atleast two more seasons of Monkie Kid, even more I reckon. I've always disliked 3D models inside TV, and these look eh, but, I hope that the next season they can find their footing and maybe return back to a bit more of a Flying Bark style. We'll see tho

I think the animation quickly improved considering how fast paced it was! The writing is still amazing!! And the animators are doing amazing considering they’re so new! :D and they’re being super creative with re-using animations :0

Yes, there were some stuff I noticed like fast pacing, fighting being a bit more lackluster, and animation not being as crisp as before, but the depth and emotions of the story still landed and I hope that the studio isn't too pressured and can continue to deliver. Monkie Kid remains a fantastic anime that I would recommend.

Having watched the entire season so far, while it’s not as good as season 4 and the animation isn’t perfect, it still carries everything else that made the show as good as it is. The stellar voice cast, the strong music, and the glorious writing.

I feel like it may not be my place to say since I don't watch the series. But if you're going to judge an established animated series strictly because the animation change, and not based on the story, or the characters, or how consistent the world is at this point. Then you're not really being fair to it especially since they really didn't have a choice. Both parties chose to part ways, and I'm sure wild brain given enough time will be able to fully emulate what flying bark had previously done.

honestly? season 5 was one of my favorites in terms of story and character interactions. I have hope that they’re gonna do a great job on the next season with the animation and writing!

Just finished the 10 episode made me cry this season is amazing 🥺

say what you will i loved s5. a bit rushed storyline and the art wasn’t as good but it tugged on my heartstrings

It’s not even just the animation that changed, the audio studio has changed as well, everything BUT the voice actors and writers (though writers can shift nearly every season at times)

What they lacked in animation, they more than made up for in story and characters. This season had me crying more than the rest of the show combined. While i found myself thinking of how much better it would have hit with the old animation, i still love LMK and cant wait for it to continue

From the sounds of it, season five suffered a time crunch purely in the appearance stage. All the scripts and voice acting was great as always. I have a feeling that season six (fingers crossed it's renewed) will be given more time for the animators to perfect the art style. I only just got into this show a week ago and was very nervous to start watching season five since I'd heard rumors but hated spoilers enough not to know why. So all four seasons I was expecting the second coming of Game of Thrones season 8 but season five was great! It was a little off in the animation but I would've just assumed the mechs were swapped to CGI to save money like a lot of anime is currently doing. I don't think I would've noticed it was a different art studio if I hadn't been told.

i'm so glad that so many people here in the comments are appreciating the animation for what we got, after all you can't expect the same quality from something that was perfect to have the same quality, both the story and the animation are just as enjoyable albeit different

When I first saw the trailer, I won't lie, I was upset by the animation difference but overtime I still absolutely adore the show. I love watching it for the style, the story, and the creativity of the little world! To lego monkie kid! 🥂

I can 100% tell the difference between animation... and tbh... I got into this because of the animation. I will still watch for the story but I won't actively wait and hunt down episodes like I did with seasons 1-4...

God it’s good hearing Ace again! Love any and all MK videos, and I spy some new scenes I haven’t seen yet in season 5 (English release today?). Personally I’m cautiously optimistic for a gap year in 2025, I’d like that to happen but I don’t think it will. 6 seasons, plus this season apparently being the calm before the storm all direct us to belive season 6 may be the final season. I just hope it doesn’t go out on a Wimper.

season 5 is the new studio finding its footing im fine cause this show is peak and i know they will do their best

Wildbrain enlisted Inspidea to help with Monkie Kid S5. The animation studio is going for an IPO soon, with the money raised mainly to hire new animators. So hopefully the quality will get better in S6

4:05 im sorry, idk who you asked but i could tell the difference IMMEDIATELY though honestly it was kinda fun to point out all the differences. at the end of the day, the animation in season 5 was definitely "worse" but it certainly isnt bad animation by any means. I definitely still felt the same humor, story, and characters that i always loved about the show. Im hoping that now that they've settled in the groove of things, the next season's animation will have more time put into it and look a lot better. i have to admit tho, i think it was hilarious that 90% of the fans thought the trailer for the new season was fake XD (sadly i was one of those, my bad wildbrain you're doing your best sweeties) season 5 was still extremely enjoyable though, i can't wait to watch in english and im still excited for season 6

That animation studio are the unsung heroes because any other studio would have done a hiatus of one year.

This is true, it’s technically no one‘s fault that season five did not meet everyone’s expectations, but that does not mean there could have been other options. The best idea I can come up with as a fan of the series, is to push back certain deadlines. Obviously, that’s easier said than done, I don’t know anything about how an animation studio is normally run, but I think larger animation company’s should take a lesson from newer Studios. Within the past few years, new animation studios have been created to make amazing shows, like helluva boss, hazben hotel, murder drones, Lackadasy, the amazing digital circus, you name it! The difference between these shows, and works created by larger companies, is that the larger animation companies seem to have less time for production. This is the main reason why the animation for this show is so drastically different compared to its previous seasons. Whenever a deadline needs to be met, it usually goes unchanged, however, certain studios like glitch productions seem like they ignore this rule. My favorite thing about glitch productions is that they take all the time they need necessary in order to complete the next episode. Even when murder drones was still in production for its first episode, they had no idea when it was going to release, this fact is also obvious based on the teasers they had for the first episode. Overall, I think larger company’s should take more time to create the shows and movies they want to create, rather than trying to rush their Work by setting up a deadline. Taking the time necessary to create what you love, is the key to making something truly great, and something that everyone can enjoy. Let me know if I missed anything to consider.

After finishing the season, the quality is still there. Sure, the animation isn’t as great, but the heart and emotion is still amazing and beautiful

I personally loved season 5! While i did notice how the animation was a bit stiffer and less vibrant at times, the story was still fantastic, which truly makes a show for me. This season made me cry, and I've never cried over any media before. I may be a bit biased because I a big fan of the theme as well, but I still think that the show is as good as it was with Flying Bark.

What made me saddest about all this wasn't the quality of the animation, it wasn't the change of studio or anything like that. But yes, the lack of respect that some "fans" had towards the animators, threatening them, as if the program had been discontinued. Honestly, this made me a lot sadder. The quality isn't bad (obviously we were used to Flying Bark's animation), they are learning! In fact, the animation is "similar" to that of the pilot episode. They will improve over time.

Oh god I REALLY hope we don’t get another nexo knights situation where they were GOING to do another season but then aren’t (even though nexo knight’s cancelled season was because more people hated or despised nexo knights then people liked it though if that’s true then I don’t know the reason why monkie kid’s next season would be cancelled I mean wave one and two of the sets were disliked by people but the show has always been liked but hopefully I’m just jumping to conclusions and I’m wrong and season 5 IS happening honestly I really hope monkie kid becomes at least AS popular as ninjago and gets about 8, 9 or 10 seasons and waves of sets but I don’t think there’s too many demons they could do unless there’s an actual demon king like king of all demons in Chinese mythology and with this wave only have 4 or 5 sets something tells me this might be the last of monkie kid but again I’ll happily be wrong and I hope I AM)

It's always great when Ace talks about Monkie Kid!

I was confused but the best part was ((spoilers)) when the snake dude TRANSFORMED LIKE WOAH

Considering time limit Wild Brain had to work with; i like s5 of Monkie Kid. I'm sure s6 should be better.

My greatest grip of season 5 was the lack of sound desgin. Monkie kid had amszung sound design but this season didnt have any of that, no cool string instruments for macaque intro or that cool clink noise you hear everytime wukong or mk use the staff. It was so obvious during the fight scenes

I knew It felt just slightly off and once I heard the rigging thing, it made totally sence

Thank you for this realistic take on the process.

I had a feeling this happened with the animation. But what I will say is their expressions are on point. The writing is on point. The voice direction is on point. This season is one of my favorites honestly. I do wonder if we're getting a special this season though. I hope so.

@@ARandomEliatrope Yes, it wasn't 'on point', HOWEVER, I have seen animation with no expression whatsoever, and that is not it. The season managed to still make me cry. The only reason it looks odd was because they were short on time since they have to get the season out before the new sets come out. They are also using puppet animation. It isn't hand animated like Flying Bark. It got better near the end, and now that they're on less of a time crunch they could probably make it better next season. They do need work tweaking thier models. In the beginning it was very evident, and the line thicknesses were off too. However, they were still very expressive. It is unfair to compare a company WHO JUST STARTED ANIMATING THE SERIES, compared to Flying Bark, who has had FOUR SEASONS and MULTIPLE SPECIALS of practice.

some say that season 5 felt a bit rushed, and its true! im sure the last 2-3 episodes of the season were meant to be in a s5 special, but wildbrain sadly didn’t have the time for all that

They do such a good job at making it I’ve watch it three times in a row (I’m on my third right now)

I hope that Wildbrain can learn to use their animation as a visual storytelling device like Flying Bark did. Flying Bark had made it a story within a story at times with how alive everything was. When I say that the story suffered even though the writing stayed the same, that’s why I say it. The story within the story feels like it’s been removed for the time being. You’re right, though. There was too much crunch time to really plan out that kind of detail. Here’s to hoping for the season 5 special and season 6!

I loved season five, the writing was still top notch and kept me so invested and emerged in the story that I was thankfully able to somewhat get used to the new animation style. It was mostly distracting for me in the first episode and it’s still stiff in some places, especially the intro but I’m so happy it didn’t ruin my enjoyment of the show ^^ It’s still something I’ll have to get used to and I really hope the animators get more time to work on the next season so it can be the best it can possibly be.

That they use rigs explais why the animation looks stiff/snappy and like minimal anatomy understanding (especialy with the "monsters") in some parts. But I'm optimistic that the animation will get better again. The first movie was a bit "off modle" as well, as Flying Barks was finding their fotting.

Honestly i feel like season 5 was already the conclusion to the second arc and the third one is about to start with season 6 so i am pretty sure there’ll be more, there’s also been someone (i think it was thr person who‘s currently sharing some concept art on twitter) who said that there was enough material they could still adapt for a while (before a ninjago crossover would happen) so i honestly think we’re far from the end. As for the animation, i‘m sure it’ll get better. Like it’s already really good, especially given the circumstances. Sure it’s not flying bark Season 3&4 quality but i‘m convinced when given enough time, wildbrain can deliver equally.

Thank you for talking about this, I was heartbroken to see flyingbark go, but more so to see some people in the community went after the Wildbrain's animators. I'm just glad it's still Monkie Kid's writers are the same and get to see more of it.

I just got through the whole thing. Animation took some getting used to at the start, but I barely noticed it by the end. Also helps that I skipped the intro (where the animation shift is most noticeable) almost every episode because THAT STORY HAD ME ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT

I just want to know why this season was so rushed.🤨 It felt like a lot of noise was shoved into parts where there could've been some explaining and now I have even more questions!!!

The writing is still there but the animation is a little stiff, but I’m sure it’s because the studio is just getting use to this art style. For example, season 1 of MK animation wise was wonky and off character model all over the place. It got hella better afterwards but this stands to show that not every first attempt is going to look great. This is the same for the new studio, they might improve later. The only thing I miss is the squish and pull animation of the faces and body language we had before, otherwise the quality is still pretty great. 😊

At first I was one of those fans who was iffy about the new animation when the trailer was dropped. Just like a few others, I even thought it was a "fanmade animation." I stopped believing that after talking with a friend about it and seeing Flying Bark's statement of them not doing season 5. And when time went on, I started to welcome the new animation style. Sure, I won't lie that I really do wish it was Flying Bark from time to time, but again, I still enjoyed what WildBrain gave us. Plus I really enjoyed season 5, ESPECIALLY from the looks of it them diving more into Macaque and Wukong's past. Loved season 5, can't wait for the specials (if they're continuing that) and for season 6!

5:30 min “ who do we blame?” We blame the fandom itself for stressing out the studio for giving use not the best quality of content. Remember, he said Wild Brain animated Carmen Sandiego, an amazingly animated show, so we just need to give the studio a less harsh environment and give a more peaceful atmosphere.

The fans still have a point in what they say tho because of their love for hand-drawn animation. The thing is, Wildbrain can only give their best, all the while refusing to personalize the criticism they receive, which isn't technically really about them anyways. Just let the fans air out their concerns, like I did, and then enjoy S5 for what it is, hoping the rest of the fandom can move on just as maturely. S5 is still so awesome tho! Aside the strength of the writing, they still have the same great storyboarding techniques despite using puppet animation to bring the visuals to life. It still works.

the season was done by the time the fandom found out, let’s be sooo real. Lego was the one rushing them. there’s been documented proof that lego was rushing them and the quality

I hate the "its just different" argument, its absolutely of significantly worse quality, the phrase your looking for is "it doesn't look bad" the thing impacted the most by far is the lack of super dynamic fight scenes

I don't mind the change still love this show

If anything, I could wait for season 6, they could continue with other shows like Ninjago or Dreamzz, as long as they don't mess up, expectations are high, so I really hope they'll make it better Still, fan animations would be cool

I hope season 6 will be less apocalypses and more interpersonal relationships. Like MK hanging out with Macaque

While I definitely prefer pre s4's animations, s5's animation isn't really that bad, I'd say it's pretty good for rigging and at times they can nail the animation/flow well in my eyes. Sucks that the fans reacted so harshly to a team that was probably stressing to get s5 out in time.

Season 5 left me in fat tears. It felt rushed, sure, but it was still amazing. Does anybody know if were getting a special episode?

i saw season 5 with fun english sub, and i still love it( it is not what was before in terms of quality, but still looks better that what i was afraid of - in change of studios )

Is it crazy I could tell it was a puppet kind of animation when I saw the intro? Idk how I knew it, but I could just feel it was puppet/rig animated lol😅

I feel like this season was just nice and that now if wild brain has more time the animation will be wayyy better because they will have more time which is nice.

I knew I wasn’t crazy. I didn’t know the season had come out but I saw one of the usual clip compilation videos pop up in my recommended so I started watching it and immediately I noticed some was off. And the longer I watched the clips the more I noticed it so I figured there had to be a studio change or something

Yea I totally agree I bet season 6 will be tons better because more time to settle in

The leaked ending felt a lot like s3 ending

I hadn't known that Wildbrain had any preexisting history with Lego, tbh (or Carmen Sandiego, for that matter, lol; I still have yet to see that, but it's on my list of things I may or may not ever get around to watching- the intent is there, but is heavily reliant on motivation + consistent internet connection & speeds, sadly); my own familiarity with them stems from when they used to go by DHX- and they were the ones responsible for the juggernaut that was My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Whatever your personal opinion on the show itself is (I personally always felt that it was kind of mid, but it was also very much not made with my demographic in mind lmao), you can't really say that the animation was at all a weak point, especially in later seasons when more budget was allotted to the series' animation, and that plus time and experience made rigs and techniques see steady improvement (unlike the writing, which got arguably kind of worse in some of them; but that's not related tbh). And having seen the season myself, it's... not terrible! Stiff at times, like you said; also weirdly floaty in the way that rig animation tends to be. Like, you're REALLY aware that that's a puppet; it would be fine in almost any other series, but not in one that didn't start out that way; it's uncanny somehow, noticeable in its differences. Kind of like the uncanny valley in CGI where no matter how good something looks, it still feels off in many ways bc we already know it's not real. smth not dissimilar to that, I feel like. BUT! It's a pretty good style imitation, all things considered. Everything from the characters, the set design, and even the lines on the models themselves are faithful imitations of the original. They've even got some interesting rimlighting effects going on in some scenes; it's weird and fascinating, and leads me, inexpert opinion that I am, to believe that these are some pretty advanced rigs. They did a lot of new and interesting stuff with them; it's cool, and ultimately a net benefit to animation in general! Literally the only thing "wrong" with it, aside from the hiccups caused by the medium, is the medium in and of itself, because it is different than what people are used to. And with time, this might not even be an insurmountable issue. As for the quality of the story and writing? Pacing was a bit fast for my tastes, but that's a prevailing problem with animation in general these days and probably cannot be helped at this time. Outside of that? It feels as nice as ever, and was delivered beautifully by the outstanding voice cast. These folks really understand the assignment when it comes to screaming in agony/mental anguish LMAO. Jokes were still snappy and funny, serious moments still hit with the force of a truck; it's all good. Pacing is really a personal taste thing; I'd normally want them to draw out MK's origin story a little more than they did, but that's a minor, personal nitpick in the grand scheme of things. I'm still as addicted to this show as ever; these characters and this world has got me totally hooked, and if they really do allow for a little more time for a better product, then I'd be VERY pleased; nothing kills quality faster than rushing into things, after all. The wait would be agonizing, but I'd be willing to endure for the sake of a better end product.

I don’t care if h get mad at me for what I’m about to say. I’m genuinely scared for wildbrain , because if they r being rushed by Lego and producing not so good quality, just imagine what could happen to NINJAGO , as of 2024 July , imo , NINJAGO is one of if not the best animated series in recent years, wild brain and got a step up with Netflix and it’s animation is at its peak rn ( besides s8 animation) so I don’t want the quality of NINJAGO to drastically decrease Because of stupid Lego rushing their animation workers. So seeing how lmk , dreamzz , and NDR are all being animated by one studio, I feel like they r milking their workers and if they don’t stop , eventually all shows will look like an unfinished Roblox game

The storyline was good and continues the lessons from season four

The animation may was a bit... different... but the story and emotional core is as good as ever

UGGGGH PPL PPL PLZ WE STILL HAVE THE SAME WRITERS STAP ACTING AS IF THE WORLD IS AT RISK 😩😭

Tbh I love the show it’s one of my favorite Lego series. I’m also glad that the show didn’t get canceled since the studio that made the show wasn’t able to do the show anymore due to too many projects. I actually like the new animation for the show as long as the story is good I’m all for it.

honestly after watching the new season, i enjoy the new style, the difference in how it was drawn did show but i don't hate it. The addition of the 3-D models was interesting but with the time constraints it makes sense. It still felt liker monkey kid so I'm fine with it

Loved this video! I feel like a lot of people took their anger out on LEGO only for the animation studio switch (like LEGO ripped LMK from FB's trembling hands or smtg), and while I'm not necessarily denying the *possibility* of 'greed' and going for the 'cheap' option, I still believe that we know way too little to be pointing any fingers. I really like how you took on a more nuanced and understanding tone, going over factors that could've affected Flying Bark's and LEGO's decisions before making the final assertion that both companies did what they thought was best for them (as they should).

As long as the shows writing is good Im still going to watch monkie kid. And while yes i do believe tge animation is off at times. It isnt completely unwatchable to look at. I do think the studio should have spent time trying to learn how to animate. I think maybe with a little more time the animation will get better.

I don't know animation processes but why do they need to put deadlines in these shows? Why couldn't they wait for the first studio to finish their works and then continiuo on LMK? /gen The fans aren't going anywhere, they can still make merch with the 4 seasons it already has.

Personally I think the animation isn’t that bad you could still tell that the quality did drop though and all of writers and voice actors are still working on it so it’s pretty much intact. This could’ve have gone so much worse especially the animation 💀

Good word from a great man. well said . I agreee

Please tell me where I can watch all 5 seasons? I can’t find any past 2 anywhere….

How are so many of y’all watching the new season? I can’t see it showing up anywhere. Past seasons were (partially) on Amazon Prime, and the others on HappyKids, but not Season 5… Are you using VPN to watch it or something?

I absolutely love Monkie Kid, its my fav show and it's been fun to advertise it to my friends as THE lego anime. And i of course felt heart broken at the animation team switch. For a 2d animated show, animation is kinda huge for the identity of the show, at least to me. being able to identify the artstyle and animation is like a game for me, being able to pin point reused animation has been fun for me to watch on this show. So, when i first saw the season 5 trailer of monkie kid...ok i may have cried. I dont think there's anything wrong with being disappointed in a downgrade of quality, its the reaction you have that makes it important. So, i of course didnt make it a big deal to be rude to anyone, just voice my opinion and disappointment with the downgrade. Thankfully tho with WildBrain, theyre good at emulating a style. Its really easy for me to tell that its all rigged, but with the switch of animation studios, i was also really worried that they wouldn't match the energy and humor. Thankfully, Wild brain is good at mastering the visual gags and the visual quirks of the og style flying bark had. Oh but i will say the mech scenes of the new season are downright ugly, but the only person im blaming is myself for having such high standards.

Honestly the new studio just need to get more into the animation style with time and not rush it if they want to reach the same quality studio before had. Otherwise they really did great job :) they kept it mostly 2D and are keeping with the story and stuff :) so kudos to them i still love it and yeah no one's at fault and those that just like to hate well why don't they personaly animate it if it's "that bad" like come on most of the time those that hate ignore how much work it takes to do some things >:T pathetic reason to hate tbh

I know I am a person that doesn’t like to watch shows because of their ✨Aesthetic✨ *BUT* I have grown to attach to Lego monkey kid over the years. I have watched it, and the art style isn’t really that different it’s just animated differently I often find myself being submerged in the story, then rather than animation. Sure the animation does make it easier to get submerged in the story but it’s not the entire part of Lego monkey kid. Plus it’s nice to see this style of animation. It reminds me of the earlier seasons from Lego monkey kid but drawn better and with more references to go on I’m sorry that this is too long. I just really have a lot to say about this show

Where can I watch season five?

Where can I watch it

Compared the most shows I didn't think the animation was too bad. Sure it was a little stiff in some places. But the writing was still pretty good despite the story being a bit rushed. And the characters were still fun as always and I had a few laughs from the jokes in this season. So I got to say I hope the series continues because despite the changes I overall enjoyed it.

The animation style bothers me because I can see the differences way too clearly. The story also felt a bit shakier this season, they cramped way too much in there and the sudden self avareness was disturbing and it broke my focus a lot. But those are, of course, subjective complaints from me. I hope quality will improve when they get proper time and funds to do so. And that they drop the self avare comments.

Like most studios they need time to work and get used to their projects and while I still notice where some parts feel a bit off the writing hasn’t changed and the voice acting is still great even if I watch poor audio recordings. I don’t believe the rumors that well only have 2 sets but if it’s true my wallets gonna be fine then. Not like we don’t have things from the show were missing like my boi Ao Lie

Feels like season 1 in lmk but it's probably a rush to create this. The quality did improve a bit in later episodes and it also uses references from past seasons. Lore still gd and just need improvement

That explains why it felt rushed

There was barely any fighting this season in my opinion

No longer why the animation felt different when I watch it

The story is still awesome, but I honestly would've been happy waiting longer if it meant that the animation could've been better quality. I loved the old artstyle soo much! And it's really saddening to see the drop in quality. I hope they'll be able to bring it back to the beautiful animation and art again

I’m only a few episodes into S5 (mainly because I don’t wanna join a discord server JUST to watch a season of a show) And it just feels so off to me. I still wish they could’ve had WAY more time because idk this just feels a lot more rushed then usual. It might just be me but I just feel it’s so much more rushed then normal. The voice acting as well feels different as well. Wildbrain and the team deserved more time to get the style down AND get everything animated

What is the difference between the new animation and old?

I don't really care about the new animation style, IMO season 5 is one of the best of LMK, I personally liked it more then S3, but less then my favourite S4. The only frustrating thing about season 5 - ending

When will Monkey Kid season 5 special issue release and when will it be released hdrezka ag

AGREED ❤

Bro I live in America and can’t find the show anywhere. Where are you watching it?

Arrg. I'm a pirate.

Weird animation or not lmk is still a fire show‼️‼️ Genuinely love the show either way and I feel bad for the hate people are giving..

Not gonna lie, literally finished watching the 5th season today and right off the back I noticed something different with the animation. It wasn’t something that was an eye sore but distinct for me to see the shift in the quality. But regardless, I still liked the season and excited for the next one. Also, is it me or Mk’s highlight in his hair more saturated than before?
