TheLittleSongbird I am a huge animation fan, and consider some animated films and shows some of my favourites ever. Earthworm Jim, the underrated gem it is, is no exception. Even as a child, I admired how bizarre it was but also how brilliantly written and animated it was. Revisiting it after goodness knows how long, I still do. The animation is truly excellent, with bold colours, audacious backgrounds and sharp and unique character designs. The music is a delight too, the main theme is well and truly memorable and the incidental music is cleverly and imaginatively composed.The story lines are outstanding. They were well paced, being very brisk and original, a refreshing retread from being predictable and contrived. I also love the characters. Jim is a moron at times, but he is also very charming, likable and witty, while Peter Puppy is adorable, Jim's girlfriend doesn't fall into the trap of being clichéd and the villains are outrageously fun in their motives, how they're voiced and animated and even in their names.What made Earthworm Jim in my opinion was in its writing. This is one brilliantly written show, not only in the dialogue which is superb and enthusiastically delivered but in the surreal gags and post modern humour and inspired spoofs. The voice acting consistently is top notch, especially Dan Castallenetta who is perfect as Jim. To conclude, Earthworm Jim is a gem, and deserves to be better known than it is. 10/10 Bethany Cox

knowledge There were many american cartoon shows based on videogames - pacman, super mario brothers , double dragon and The legend of zelda to name a few. But out of all them earthworm jim was the most effective. Not only did it translate the games wackiness to cartoon form well , but it was hilarious and massively entertaning in its own right.Earthworm jim made a dumb but loveable hero , his rouge gallery was funny (both funny "ha ha" and funny "weird" )as hell and princess wots-her-name was just plain sexy , man (thats right i said it!).And to top it all off , every episode ended with a cow falling on someone.Groovy !.

krillinkid Earthworm Jim this is one of the funniest and stupidest heroes ever created. Along with Peter the sidekick who get mad will tear you to pieces. This is a great show. And the other day I was lucky enough to get EWJ tape 2. I recommend you buy any tape of it you can. Then give it to me. Just joking but if you find it you buy it and won't be disappointed. Now a quote from Peter..."I must not fear. Fear is the little death. Fear is the mind killer that brings total obliteration."

Miriani The only time I ever got to see it, in all honesty, was on video, of which I only ever saw four 2 episode tapes out of about 25 or so episodes. There's a show that needs to be brought back. It was incredibly silly, but everyone needs silliness. But it was the Pythonesque quality of the comedy that I loved so much. What other show could host a megalomaniacal fish, a Princess named Whats-her-name, and a falling cow, and still be coherent? It's not just the jokes and gags, it's the delivery of them all. Not a dud in any of the episodes I've seen.
