The Best Of Tokyo Pig

Tokyo Pig hits DVD
Tokyo Pig tells the story of Spencer Weinberg-Takahama, a normal third grader. One day, his life is perfectly normal. He goes to school, does his homework, gets straight As, and lives with his unusual family. The next day, thanks to a magic diary, he receives his loyal and amazing pet, Sunny Pig. So, you're probably wondering if TP is a good show. Read on.

Tokyo Pig can be summed up in one word: underrated. The show itself is excellent, and the animation (which is colorful and weird enough for kids but stylish enough for parents to bear) feels straight out of Japan, the mystic land of anime and video games. The voice acting is good, and there are some familiar voices, such as Spencer himself. The voice actor is the same one who voiced Tai Kamiya in the first two seasons of "Digimon." Also familiar is Wally Wingert (Spencer's dad), who, unless I am mistaken, voiced a Tallest in "Invader Zim" and was a cast regular on the popular sketch show, "Kids in the Hall."...

It's Tokyo Pig!!!
Tokyo Pig was a cartoon on ABC Family a few years ago. This DVD features 8 episodes of the series (When Pigs Fly, Dad is the Worst Cook in the World, Luck of the Draw, Trouble in Lightning-land, A Bitter Fruit, Incredible Shrinking School, Samurai Lunch Lady, and pigs on Ice). The show is very weird. For example, Sunny Pig does a dance each episode for no particular reason. If you like the show or other bizarre shows, you will probably want to get this DVD.

Information correction...
The "Tokyo Pig hits DVD" review I wrote had a severe error in it. Wally Wingert did voice a Tallest in IZ, but was not on KitH. The other Tallest's voice actor was on KitH. Just correcting some information.
