Johnny Bravo TV Series "Johnny Bravo" , "Jungle Boy In Mr Monkeyman" and "Johnny Bravo And The Amazon Women" Review


Cartoon Network in the nineties was a truly wonderful place to be with pretty much all of there shows fro that time period being really good shows. However with all of that success does mean that a few shows will get forgotten about as is the case with the show that i'm going to be talking about today as this is a show that really isn't talked about all that often not often by those who were around when it first airing either and so then join me as I review the episodes that technically aired as part of another cartoon show first with the episodes in question being called simply just "Johnny Bravo" , "Jungle Boy In Mr Monkeyman" and "Johnny Bravo And The Amazon Women" enjoy.

The plots of the episodes are in Johnny Bravo Johnny tries to recapture a nine hundred pound gorilla and in Jungle Boy In Mr Monkeyman King Raymond becomes jealous of Jungle Boy and sets out to ruin his reputation once and for all and in Johnny Bravo And The Amazon Women Johnny finds him on island full to the brim with beautiful Amazon Women and does everything that he can do to get near them. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plots that;s are actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plots that are actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad as all three of episodes plots were really strong plots with the weakest episode plot wise by Jungle Boy In Mr Monkeyman just because of the fact that alot of that episode is spent with nothing going on to advance the plot of the episode where as with the other two segments there was always something going on that was advancing the plots of the segments with the plots also also being really rather rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in these episodes is Jeff Bennett as Johnny Bravo and Man 3 , Soleil Moon Frye as Mary and Maurice LaMarche as The Fat Robber and The Narrator , Roger Rose as The Gorilla  Scott , Butch , Christopher and Louis , Mae Whitman as The Little Girl , Cody Dorkin as JungleBoy , Michael McKean as King Raymond , Rupert and Rhino , Candi Milo as Mary Antelope , Effie and Jill , April Winchell as Donna , Kris and Liz , Brenda Vaccar as Melissa , Pat Musick as Grandma , B.J. Ward as Cindy and An Amazon and David L. Lander as Christopher.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that;s actually featured / presented to us in these episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in thee very episodes was in all honesty really good. Which is something that really does make alot of sense given that pretty much all of the actors that are in these episodes are a bunch of really are a bunch of really good actors and a bunch of really good voice actors in there own right with all of them really delivering some really good and some really funny performances in all three of these episodes with the acting that's in these very episodes really being helped by the fact that the scripts for this episodes are juts so good that all this episodes cast have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performances will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in these episodes episodes.


Doing the animation for these episodes is Hanna-Barbera Productions , Fil-Cartoons , Mr. Big Cartoons , Sunwoo Entertainment and Wang Film Productions Company. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty person ally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these vert episodes was in all honesty not that bad and was a lot better then what it really had any right to be but at the same time tho the animation that's in all three of these segments wasn't really all that good either as the backgrounds don't look that good in Johnny Bravo And The Amazon women this is despite them looking really good in Johnny Bravo and the animation and backgrounds in Jungle Boy And Mr Monkeyman while it wasn't really the best was certainly alot better then what it could have been with the backgrounds in that segment just looking really bland and really boring with the same thing also being true for Johnny Bravo And The Amazon Women as well with all of the characters having some really nice and fluid movements to them in all three of this episodes segments with the animation really shining through when it comes to all three segments comedy.


What alot of people might have forgotten about or just straight up don't know is that even these segments are indeed the first three segments in Johnny Bravo they weren't originally produced as apart of the series. As all three of them were instead produced as apart of the show What A Cartoon which showed new cartoons in every segment with the more popular ones becoming there own TV shows with prime examples of this being Cow And Chicken , Dexter's Laboratory , Courage The Cowardly Dog and The Powerpuff Girls with this show also being one and a few years after this show had been picked up and started airing int's first season these segments were then added into the mix to form the shows first episode this was done tho after the show official first episode had already aired thus meaning that all of the episodes get moved down one order from what they originally were and given that alot of the other shows that came of from What A Cartoon also included there original What A Cartoon shorts as part of other segments it does make sense that this show would combine there episodes to make up the first Johnny Bravo episode as even tho none of them feature the regular supporting cast of characters they do give us the audience a good idea of just what the show will be like in future episodes in the show moving forward.

To be frank this show would not be made simply due to the fact that Johnny Bravo himself does in the first segment force himself onto a woman and in the other segments of not only this episode but the show as a whole spends alot of time trying to get with various women. While yes he does get turned down in more often then not very violent and always hilarious ways you can just picture somebody somewhere getting offended by this cartoon without realising the fact that he's getting turned down is apart of the joke and is the shows way of saying that's he's in the wrong and that how he treats women in the grand scheme of things is also wrong as they'll just take this show at face value and that's really it and yet they'll find the Jungle Boy segment which is the weakest of the three segments to be the most enjoyable for no reason whatsoever this is despite the fact that the Jungle Boy segment has very little redeeming qualities about it as that character is one joke character where as with Johnny Bravo you can get a good few jokes just out of how dumb he is alone with the fact that he can't get a single woman to go out with him being as aspect of his character as all those people who are easily offended will be focused on is the fact that he kissed a woman without her consent despite the fact that she beats him up for it directly afterwards.


Speaking of the Jungle Boy segment there was one redeeming factor about that segment and thats the fact that King Raymond is the segments most entertaining character. As he's a villain who just wants his subjects to obey him and to love only him thus giving him a bit of an ego and yet everybody around him either hates him or just straight up ignores him which does lead to some very entertaining scenes as he sets out to ruin Jungle Boy's reputation by giving him a bad name all done with him going around dressed up as Jungle Boy which includes him shaving off all of his skin and wearing a wig all of which goes a long way to proving the fact that this character does have an ego and can;t handle the fact that nobody likes him heck even his own monkey butler really doesn't care for him all that much either and this is something that does make him an entertaining character as it gives him flaws and a reason for him being the way that he is and heck the whole segment would have been better if he was the main focus of it and if Jungle Boy was instead given more of a supporting role as Jungle Boy as a character really just isn't that interesting nor is he all that entertaining as a character as he's just the stereotypical good guy who just so happens to be a toddler and that's really all there is to his character where as there's alot kore to King Raymond as a character.

Now then the first segment has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly six minutes and fifty three seconds with the second segment having a grand total running time of exactly six minuets and thirty three seconds and the third segment has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly six minuets and twenty two seconds. With all three segments really having some rather solid running times as all three segments really do have the right amount of plot to really cover there respective running times with the the segment that has the best running time being Johnny Bravo And The Amazon Women just because of the fact that they do spend some time in setting up the amazon island and really making as good a use as they could have done with that running and while all three segments pack in a ton of jokes in there segments respective running times it's the first segment Johnny Bravo that takes as full advantage of it's running time as it could have done as that segment who Johnny is a character and still tell a really good story which it really does manage to given the short running time that the segment has but I will admit that all three segments really do have some really good pacing in them tho.


So now then as this is a comedy show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these vert segments well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that;s actually featured / presented to us in these very segments was in all honesty really good. With all three of this episodes segments really having alot of really funny jokes in them and all three segments really packing in alot of jokes in there respective running times alot of which are quick little sight gags that chances are your not going to notice on a first viewing like the fact that in the Jungle Boy segment that make a reference to Everybody Love Reymond which was a quick little joke but it was still a really funny joke with the first and third segments having some really funny slapstick moments which really do show off just how funny this shows animation really could have been as the slapstick not only looks painful but it also looks really funny as well but even then there not the best joke of this whole entire episode as that honor goes to a joke in episode where in order to convince the zoo keeper to let him go after the gorilla Johnny tells her that he's a superhero with one of his powers being able to make a sandwich which was just such a funny joke and really did show off just how dim witted that this character really was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while these episode both are and aren't the official start to Johnny Bravo they do give you a good idea of just how random that this show was and just how funny that this show was when it was at it's best and while it wouldn't get made there might be some people out there who love these segments as alot of them are just that good and are that funny as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these segments in this very review and as such that means that Johnny Bravo earns itself a grad old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 , Jungle Boy In Mr Monkeyman earns it self a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 and Johnny Bravo And The Amazon Women earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 with all three segments earning themselves a combined grand total score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the mages that I personally used in this very review from the official Johnny Bravo fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very segments episodes that I used in this very review being the really great the official Johnny Bravo fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from these very segments and are really of course on the official Johnny Bravo fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and really as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
