The animated bits are charming, the enthusiasm is definitely there, but the attempts at humor were meh at best, and that whole thing with the damsel in distress trope was excessive. It took you over forty seconds to say, "I don't like the storyline," in the most asshole manner possible. It made the video go from being dorky and fun to kind of awkward after that.
Glad you mentioned the original cartoon series. Most are too preoccupied with dunking on the other embarrassing mess that is the Donkey Kong Country show from the late nineties.
