#vic and frankie having ny accents is fucking great

[devilsrecreation]

Okay so I’m watching a Jim Henson production called “The Animal Show” AND WHEN I TELL YOU IT’S AMAZING IN EVERY WAY THO-

Not only is Sly the crocodile a freaking DELIGHT, they show baby crocodiles AND GIVE GHARIALS RECOGNITION!!!!!!!!!!

BC WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT ALLIGATORS AND POSSIBLY CAIMANS BUT I NEVER SEE ANYBODY REALLY TALKING ABOUT GHARIALS SO THANK YOU SM

OK SO LAZLO THE HYENA IS A GREAT CHARACTER BUT YK WHAT I LOVE? THEY GET HYENAS. LAZLO ISN’T PORTRAYED AS A VILLAIN HE JUST ACKNOWLEDGES THE REPUTATION HYENAS GET AND JAKE (a polar bear) ARE LIKE ���wow, I have a new respect for hyenas!”. He does something the Lion Guard doesn’t: he explains he’s not a scavenger. He says ofc they eat the dead but they mostly hunt for their food and I think that’s beautiful

OH AND HE SINGS A SONG ABOUT HYENAS.

WE GET A POSITIVE REPRESENTATION FOR A HYENA!!!!!!!!!

Again, no villainization in any way. Vic is a very tough nile monitor (like NY mobster tough), but in a respectable way. And he teaches everyone about monitor lizards!!!!

And another lovable crocodile character, Frankie is also a very accurate croc 🥰🥰🥰

(plus more bby crocs in this episode 🥺)
