Season 2 beginning 18 years ago today

Unless the Season one half-hours over one year on, the Season Two cartoons of Brandy & Mr. Whiskers were ready to be airs when it was announced first. It beginning with Get a Job/Jungle Makeover a February 3rd, but on 2006.

The first installment would be a game changer for the show until the bitter season and series' end. The inclusion of a shopping mall at Temple that place in the Jungle for some reason and behind-the-scenes, Timothy Björklund is no longer credited as the sole producer of the cartoons unless on the prior season. This one was directed both by ex-Ren & Stimpy director and one of the key Kim Possible creators Steve Loter and John McIntyre.

This season deals less so about Brandy and Whiskers arguing and fight each other, (Well, they'll do in some of these parts) but to me, the series lose little by little the exotic atmosphere that was make it very unique at that time. Now, it's become another talkier cartoon thing that was playing on Disney Channel back at this day.

In Get a Job, the duo discovered a temple without ever figure what looks to be, until they seen... lots of Amazon animals doing shopping like human did in the urban cities. They realized it was a shopping mall. That leads the question, where the mere idea of a urban land in the core of the jungle came from? Why building a shopping mall on a show that set in the Amazon Rainforest? The show worked better when cartoons like Blind Ambition and Trouble in Store having stores at stand. In this, it's a little too convoluted and out-of-nowhere. Is the producers understood any logic that represent the real-life Amazon Rainforest as an example of the biodiversity we have to protect while in some places like here, we going to projects that date of... over a quarter-century ago in these dreaed climatic warning times?

The first segment delivers some funniest moments, in which the Ren & Stimpy influence was more apparent in this than in the older season one episodes. One good example is Whiskers crashing the alarm clock for get back to work after one hard day's work. Any people who work on fast-food restaurants can be easily related to this. The cartoon didn't wanted to parody the concept of having a job, but a close observation of what looks to be working in a shopping center like the Canadian hit series 6Teen has made the same year this show originally started.

(Not to be confuse with the 1985s NFB short of the same name. I don't think they wanted to steal the short's title at all cost. It's only prevalent on the animation industry to have many productions with the same official title.)

And compare it to this adventure!
