DKTV,[3] also referred to as DKTV.Cool,[4] DKTV Cool,[4] and D.K.T.V[4] (originally referred to as Donkey Kong Planet,[5] or La Planète de Donkey Kong in French), is a programming block that aired from September 4, 1996 to September 1, 2001 on France 2,[1][2] reusing various assets from the Donkey Kong Country television series. It was produced and animated by Medialab. Unlike what is claimed by various publications,[6] La Planète de Donkey Kong is not the French name of the Donkey Kong Country cartoon (which was simply titled Donkey Kong) but rather a separate show that aired exclusively in France. OverviewUsing a children's anthology format (similar to King Koopa's Kool Kartoons), Donkey Kong Planet consisted of airings of various animated series and children's live-action shows interspersed with original material featuring part of the Donkey Kong Country series cast. The original incarnation of the show co-starred children show host Mélanie Angélie and Donkey Kong, with skits frequently deriving humor from Donkey Kong's dimwittedness and misunderstanding of human customs. Following Angélie's departure, the show was retooled as DKTV, adding a new animated character in the form of a hip green Kremling named Krushy and featuring content ranging from comedic skits to musical numbers and parodies of current movies and TV shows. Although ostensibly aimed toward children, DKTV sometimes featured language and subject matters cruder than one would expect from its time slot and source material. Donkey Kong Planet used the same motion capture style of animation as Donkey Kong Country, but had the characters superimposed over a live-action set and frequently interacting with real actors. On September 1, 2001, the show was discontinued in favor of KD2A.[7] CastAlthough produced by the same company and reusing the models from the first and second seasons of Donkey Kong Country, DKTV's voice cast was completely different from the French dub of Donkey Kong Country.
CharactersThe show's interstitial segments featured Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Candy Kong, Funky Kong, and Krushy, whose models would often portray multiple different characters in a single skit. Shows aired as a part of DKTV
SkitsThe following is a list of every skit that is known to exist.
PromotionA website for DKTV was created in promotion for the show.[4] On the website, two games that were based on the programming block could be downloaded: Couic d'or ! and Memory Kong.[9] Two tests, titled Es-tu écolo? and Et toi, si tu étais Maire... hein?, could also be played.[10][11] Es-tu écolo? decided whether or not the player was eco-friendly by their answers, while Et toi, si tu étais Maire... hein? gave the player an opportunity to answer questions that would show what the player would do if they were mayor. ReceptionDKTV won a 1999 7 d'Or for excellence in children programming, as decided by a public vote.[12] Gallery
Naming"Donkey Kong Planet", or "La Planète de Donkey Kong", is likely a reference to the French novel La Planète des singes, known in English as Planet of the Apes. Names in other languages
