Twende review

South African animation continues to thrive with this series, which is also a British co-production. Although it seems like a kindergarten show at first glance with it’s bright 2D animation style and rounded character designs, the series is actually pretty witty. It has quite dark jokes (such as the boss’s dealing with loansharks in the first episode) and the pacing is amazing. It truly knows how to foreshadow jokes and know when a gag overstays its welcome.
The main character is a pangolin, quite an underrepresented species in animation, and gags revolving him often allude to the animal’s actual traits. In general, the show does a good job of illustrating rarely seen animal species.
A must watch
