The comic is funny because of its short nature, and the innocent naivety of the aliens interacting with their world. In the animated series, it feels more like a teeny bopper show without any comedy overlaid onto the aliens, and zero innocence. You could literally substitute any animated characters and nothing would change. Overall, it feels like a compromised version of the comic that is more likely to kill off the enthusiasm about the comic, than a supportive alternative representation of the comic itself. Almost as though the characters were mapped onto a different show, with just enough wording changes to seem like Strange Planet. I think the only thing going for it is the brand. Here's hoping it's not wrecked.
