Mega Babies is a comedic animated television show that originally aired from 1999 to 2000. The show, which was produced by the Canadian animation company Cinar (now known as WildBrain), follows the adventures of three superpowered infants: Meg, Derrick, and Buck.

The show is set in a futuristic world where the titular Mega Babies are the only hope for the city's safety. Much of the show's humor comes from the contrast between the trio's innocent appearances and their potentially dangerous abilities, which often get them into trouble. For example, Meg can transform into different shapes and sizes, Derrick has super strength, and Buck has the power to fly.

The babies are raised by their robotic nanny, Nurse Lazlo, who is often exasperated by the babies' wild antics and the challenges that come with raising superpowered infants. The team is also sometimes assisted by the city's chief of police and Meg's father, Captain Jim, as well as by several other recurring characters.

The show's episodes usually consist of two separate stories with their own self-contained plots. In each episode, the Mega Babies find themselves in a new predicament, whether it be fighting off evil villains or causing chaos in their hometown. The trio's hijinks often lead to comedic misunderstandings and wild chases, but in the end, they always manage to save the day.

One of the show's strengths is the voice acting. Meg, Derrick, and Buck are voiced by Sonja Ball, Jaclyn Linetsky, and Bronwen Mantel, respectively, all of whom do an excellent job of bringing the characters to life and making them endearing despite their often-bizarre antics. Nurse Lazlo is voiced by Ruth Marshall, who brings a dry wit and exasperation to the character that perfectly balances out the babies' zaniness.

In terms of animation, Mega Babies has a distinctive style that sets it apart from other cartoon shows of its time. The characters are drawn with bold, exaggerated features and bright colors, and the show's action sequences are dynamic and engaging. The backgrounds are often detailed and colorful, and the various locations the Mega Babies find themselves in are always visually interesting.

Ultimately, Mega Babies is a fun, lighthearted show that will appeal to both children and adults. Its clever humor and endearing characters make it a classic cartoon that still holds up today. Despite its short run, the show has become a cult favorite, and its success has led to merchandise such as plush toys and video games. It's a must-watch for anyone looking for a nostalgic trip back to late '90s animation, and a perfect example of the zany, irreverent cartoons that were so prevalent during that era.

In conclusion, Mega Babies is an animated show that was both amusing and adorable. Viewers were always entertained by the antics of the trio of superpowered infants, Meg, Derrick, and Buck, who often found themselves in peculiar situations, much to the chagrin of their nanny, Nurse Lazlo. The show was a classic of its era and is still a delight to watch today.
