Rocket Monkeys is an animated television series revolving around space monkeys named Gus and Wally, who work for an organization called the Space Agency. The show premiered on January 10th, 2013, and aired on Nickelodeon for three seasons until its final episode on July 30th, 2016.

The show's main protagonists, Gus and Wally, are brothers who have an unconventional job. They work in space, completing various missions assigned to them by the Space Agency. The Agency's head, Dr. Chimpsky, is their boss, and he constantly berates them for their incompetence.

Gus and Wally are a hilarious duo, and their dynamic is one of the show's main draws. Gus is the leader of the group, confident and gung-ho, while Wally often plays the more nervous and hesitant role. They are a bit of an odd couple, with Gus the more accomplished monkey and Wally more laid back, but their relationship is both humorous and heartwarming.

The show's animation style is bright and colorful, and the characters' facial expressions are particularly well done. The mix of outrageous humor and adventurous themes will keep children entertained, while also providing some laughs for adults. There's no shortage of zany, irreverent humor, and the show's creators don't shy away from making jokes that might be more aimed at an adult audience.

One of the major strengths of Rocket Monkeys is its creativity. The show's writers and animators brought to life an entire world full of space creatures and settings, from the banana-shaped spaceship to the various planets and alien species that make up the show's universe. The writers also have fun with space tropes, such as aliens with their own language and technology, which the monkeys always run afoul of.

While the rocket monkeys are the stars of the show, they also have a few colorful supporting characters. In addition to Dr. Chimpsky, there's YAY-OK, a robot assistant with an emotional flair that often overshadows his duties, and Lord Peel, their nemesis who shows up throughout the series to cause trouble.

Another key part of the show is the monkey's spaceship, which is reminiscent of other famous fictional sci-fi ships. The inside of the rocket is just as exciting as the outside, with many gadgets and gizmos to explore. The design of the ship is another of the show's great creative achievements, and it will be sure to delight children of all ages.

Rocket Monkeys highlights the importance of teamwork and friendship. The monkeys might come across as bumbling, but they always manage to save the day, not just because of their incredible luck (or lack thereof) but also because they work together. Despite their many setbacks, they manage to finish their missions successfully. This teaches children that even if something goes wrong, they can still persevere with the help of friends and teammates.

Overall, Rocket Monkeys is an engaging, entertaining cartoon that will appeal to children who love sci-fi, humor, and adventure. The show is silly and fun, with great character designs and a vibrant animation style. It also imparts some valuable life lessons, such as teamwork and never giving up. If you're looking for a cartoon that will make you laugh and let your imagination run wild, give Rocket Monkeys a try.
