Since 1982, Donkey Kong has engaged video gamesters. Now considered a classic game, Donkey Kong evolved into a 1997 television series. Donkey Kong Country: The Legend of the Crystal Coconut relates the further adventures of Donkey King, his mentor Cranky Kong, and sidekick Diddy Kong. Cranky Kong (and yes, he is cranky), teacher and keeper of the Crystal Coconut, trains DK to be the ruler--and keep him out of trouble. But Cranky can't keep DK out of trouble in this feature-length film, which finds everyone on Congo-Bongo Island battling for the elusive Crystal Coconut (whoever holds the Coconut will receive any wish). Most vehemently after the Coconut is the mercenary King K. Rool (and his reptilian horde of Kremlings) and the pirate Captain Scurvy. Fortunately DK, despite some false starts, manages to save the day. The 3-D animation here is well done and engaging, and the music is notably good, fun, and catchy. This film will no doubt be a particular favorite of fans of the game, especially young boys. --N.F. Mendoza

5.0 out of 5 stars Donkey Kong Country: Legend of the Crystal Coconut Review, January 8, 2000

This review is from: Donkey Kong Country: Legend of the Crystal Coconut [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video was one I suggest to all. Though most people look at it and thinks its nothing more than a kids video, I think people of all ages will enjoy it. The movie shows you some of the adventures of Donkey Kong and his friends. It's fun and full of surprise as he battles to keep the crystal coconut in his possession. The video is full of fun songs that you'll be singing long after you see it. It's very hard for me to find a movie that I can watch all the way through without wanting to wander around during it, or watch something else, but this is one of the few that I don't want to turn off. I suggest this video to all. I loved it and I know you will too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yaaaay DK!, December 13, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Donkey Kong Country: Legend of the Crystal Coconut [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A lot of people seem to dislike the Donkey Kong Country TV show, but I love it, personally. The voice acting is pretty good (especially King K. Rool's), the dialogue is really well-written, and I even liked the songs. There are some things that weren't in the Donkey Kong video games, such as a new Kong named Bluster, and Candy Kong has a completely different design (which makes her look a tad unpleasant, but then again, she's supposed to be rather mean at times). I wish they'd released more of these episodes on tape! Overall, I liked this tape, and I'd say it's definitely worth the cost, but that's a matter of opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Donkey Kong Country should live forever, June 7, 2005

Donkey Kong Fan "none" (Seoul, Korea) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Donkey Kong Country: Legend of the Crystal Coconut [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I'm a very big fan of Donkey Kong, that's why I bought the Donkey Kong Tape. It is a warm feeling to the family when they watch it. In the video game of Donkey Kong, he and his crew seems like stupid apes just destroying bad guys. This program is not like that. The Donkey Kong Country tv series is like if they were created to have fun watching them. The characters were funny. I know all the characters in the program. For some one like my age, it is a warm feeling inside. I wish that Donkey Kong Country tv series were more famous today. Cartoon Television shows today have alot of violence. In this program, its not like that. I wish that Donkey Kong has more on tape episodes.
