Fantastic!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The animation is great. I like the show a lot. Too bad is was taken off the air, not sure why when it was good and I know a lot of people who watched it on late night Teletoon (along with Tripping the Rift which also should have stayed on longer). The only thing I really didn't like was the music videos because I didn't like the bands and don't understand if they were supposed to be in the mansion or part of the show or just additional music or what?

Life's a Zoo is a unique show with great animation but it isn't great. The worst thing about the show is the weird way they stick music videos in every episode, they come out of nowhere and you have to suddenly watch an entire music video by a band nobody has ever heard of and unless you happen to like the music (I only liked one in all the episodes I saw) you are in for a few minutes of boredom or even worse. The voice work was not very good but wasn't terrible either. The writing wasn't bad but also wasn't great. Overall the show is better than average but not special in any way.
