wait remember brandy and mr whiskers it was a disney channel animated series that ran from
august 21 2004 to august 25th 2006 for a total of two seasons it was a show that i originally
passively watched when it was on it was nothing too exciting for me back then to not miss every
episode but i watched a fair bit of it for sure it had a fun premise a solid theme song but does
it have everything to make me love it upon a re-watch that's to be determined but here
for the wait remember series let's take a look into what this show was some interesting info
about it what ultimately happened to it and of course my personal thoughts on it as well
this is the first video of 2022 so welcome to a whole new year of content i have so many large
projects in the works for the rest of the year and i am thankful to have you all here with me
so brandi and mr whiskers what the heck is it all about well brandi and
mr whiskers shows the day-to-day struggles of a spoiled blonde dog named brandy harrington
of the florida harringtons and an overly excited whiteford rabbit named mr whiskers
thus the show's name after the pair fall out of an airplane and get stranded in a remote part of the
amazon rainforest the two do their best to survive and adapt to their life and their new surroundings
while desperately looking for a way home so the narrative sounds interesting enough two polar
opposites stranded in an unfamiliar location and they're animals what more could you want you know

is an anthropomorphic dog who is stylized a lot like a stereotypical teenage girl complete with
a pink shirt red pants a collar purple platform flip-flops and a valley girl-like accent we all
personally know a brandy prior to the start of brandy and mr whiskers brandy was the pet of a
wealthy florida couple who were traveling via airplane with brandy and the cargo hold to an
exclusive foreign spa in the first episode it was in this cargo hold that brandy met mr whiskers a
hyperactive often dim-witted and very silly rabbit not the type to eat your breakfast cereal well
he might regardless he dons an orange jumpsuit the pinnacle of rabbit fashion back then he was
being flown to paraguay where he was to be sold at a zoo for 39 cents as brandy informs him of
this after reading his order slip mr whiskers while silly is shown to have some intelligence
at several points in the series even occasionally using his intellect to save the pair from whatever
sticky situation they had found themselves in most times though he's just a big old goofball
mr whiskers is also shown to be viciously kind and friendly despite brandy clearly finding him
a lot of the time extremely annoying often ditching him or treating him lesser than her
brandy shortly after meeting mr whiskers made the mistake of telling him to turn on a light switch
so that she can read her magazine better the mr whiskers who as it was established two minutes
earlier in the episode isn't great at reading so he mistook the emergency exit as the light
switch and sent him brandy and all the cargo down into the jungle below so whose fault is it really
brandy for trusting the illiterate bunny rabbit or mr whiskers for actually doing the deed of
pulling the wrong switch the world may never know we'll be right back with brandi and mr whiskers
now let's get back to brandy and mr whiskers
after landing in the amazon brandy and mr whiskers begin to integrate into the
jungle society there while also trying to make a temporary home for themselves as they await rescue
yeah that's gonna be a while the pair managed to befriend a cast of unique local animals who
helped them adjust to their life in the jungle including lola boa a boa constrictor who works
as the cast voice of reason and later becomes brandy's best friend cheryl and merrill oh sorry
that's a pokemon my bad ah there we go they are identical twin two cans who are seemingly always
together and always in the middle of a nasty fight and ed an easygoing friendly otter who later
becomes mr whisker's best friend some of the other animals in the jungle quickly proved themselves to
not be quite as friendly and as well meaning to the pair with this being especially true of gaspar
le gecko a vaguely french gecko for some reason in the amazon gaspar is the series main antagonist
who is driven by his one sinister goal of eating mr whiskers also i've checked and i don't think
geckos eat rabbits but whatever these animals also talk and wear clothes so suspend disbelief
it's not their fault i watch too much zaboomafu as a kid for these disney writers gaspar uses
his monkey henchmen and his high intelligence to come up with schemes to fulfill his dark
gluttonous desire my gluttonous desire is to be at fogo to chow 24 7 but you don't see me
talking about it all the time unless you ask my friends which in that case i do problems tend to
change between individual episodes of brandy and mr whiskers ranging anywhere from brandy's latest
attempt to call home to issues with jungle life to gaspar's seemingly limitless schemes to eat
mr whiskers early on in the series brandy is cold and resentful of mr whiskers blaming him for their
current situation since he was the one who opened up the cargo hatch and sent them flying into the
jungles but again that's a perspective for others to possibly see in a different light of it being
her fault too but that's neither here nor there this tension in their relationship comes to a head
when gaspar offers a trade to brandy mr whiskers for a phone that she can use to call home while
initially brandy goes for the trade after making it she realizes that she has started to care
for mr whiskers and goes to rescue him having to sacrifice that call and thus her way home
in the process this sacrifice for brandy in many ways marks the point in the series when brandy
and mr whiskers really start to become friends bridging the differences in their personalities
and backgrounds most of the first season of the show is centered around brandy and mr whiskers
adjusting to their new unexpected lives this adjustment to their new jungle home includes
such things as building a treehouse home out of the debris that fell down with them this
treehouse develops over the show becoming better decorated and given a more homey feeling to it
eventually going as far as having an indoor bathroom during the second season now that's
luxury only the best for a harrington brandy tries to make the jungle more civilized during
the second season making the best out of a bad situation by introducing concepts like fashion
hygiene and the idea of currency through shiny rocks mr whiskers for his part spends most of his
time imagining and making new inventions most of which fail so spectacularly they become a
new catastrophe for the jungle which reminds me of that age-old advice my grandmother used to give me
if at first you don't succeed make sure you fail so miserably that you threaten hundreds of acres
of endangered wildlife i'm kidding she used to tell me to marry rich let's see how that's going
by the time the second season actually starts mr whiskers and especially brandy's mark
has been clearly made on the jungle for one thing the concept of a market economy controlled by the
shiny currency rocks brandy introduced in season one is now well established like everything could
have been free like the world was before we made things have monetary value but yeah shiny rocks
also it is shown in the first episode of the second season titled get a job a shopping mall
has been made in the jungle complete with clothes and restaurants and a boy band called sugar toad
a bad sugar ray parody maybe why not sugar manta ray then well you wouldn't find a manta ray in the
amazon then again you wouldn't find a french gecko there either you know what ignore logic in the
second season brandy and mr whiskers are clearly shown to be more comfortable in their surroundings
having falling into the life they have made for themselves with brandy noticeably less desperate
to get back home the show however ended after its second season with neither brandy or mr whiskers
ever getting rescued what a happy ending even if it did win a daytime emmy in 2005 for individual
achievement and animation it was cancelled due to lower ratings brandy and mr whiskers was created
by sitcom writer russell marcus with marcus also working as a writer and executive producer for the
show with several of the writers on brandy and mr whisker switching over to this show from the buzz
on maggie after that show had been cancelled while places like disney plus may not have this show
available for streaming at this time at least you can watch it on your game boy advance with
the disney channel collection volume 2 game boy advance video cartridge the true connoisseur's way
of enjoying tv brandy and that crazy mr whiskers the jungle's most unlikely pair on disney channel
so while the show i don't think overall is too great i still enjoyed my time with it it can
get a bit too much if you're marathoning through the series but i did like a lot of what the show
offered there's great fourth wall breaks colorful vibrant animations and by the end of it all
i cared about these two characters i'm glad they took time to develop the characters and with that
their environment throughout both seasons i like seeing some growth in characters even if it's baby
steps throughout the show this odd pair despite how everything started ended up with a nice mutual
respect for each other and their differences that however doesn't mean that they still can't annoy
each other ruin each other's day and even want each other to be eaten alive by something else
in the jungle but they manage to make it work the problems for me though also fall on the
characters when they aren't growing or when they revert back to earlier states of attitude randy is
a lot to take in sometimes with how snobbish and self-obsessed she can be and at the same time mr
whiskers is his own brand of annoying to a point where you really really want to be doing anything
else as well as the jokes in the show while there are some pretty good ones hidden in there it's
just well just that they are buried far apart from one another with constant toilet humor or
more immature humor that wasn't really up my alley that's not to say you wouldn't enjoy it that's the
beauty of being a fan of any sort of media we all get to have our own tastes and opinions so
if you like it go off queen so in that case let me know in the comments how you feel about the show
are you a fan of rich dog and silly bunny i know this is pretty divisive between liking it or not
