Animal Mechanicals | comment |
A Canadian All-CGI Cartoon for preschoolers produced by Halifax Film Corporation (now part of WildBrain) for CBC Kids, Animal Mechanicals presents us to a place like no other, a "snap-together-take-apart" world where everything transforms.In this world, the Animal Mechanicals - Rex, Unicorn, Komodo, Mouse, and Sasquatch - are faced each day with a new mission from Island Owl, and are sent to help the inhabitants of their world. Each adventure has a variety of small challenges to overcome on the road to "Mission Accomplished". The challenges vary requiring the Animal Mechanicals to use their wide array of unique transforming "Mechana" abilities to finish the job.The show ran from September 3, 2007 to November 29, 2011 with 3 seasons and 74 episodes. Incidentally, its run almost perfectly coincided with that of Bo on the Go!, another Halifax Film Corporation All-CGI Cartoon airing on CBC Kids at the time.In 2019, the series was revived through the release of new nonverbal web-shorts produced by WildBrain Spark Studios, a subsidiary of WildBrain that produces original content for the WildBrain Spark network.No, this has nothing to do with Mechanical Animals. | |

Oblivious to His Own Description | |
Animal Mechanicals / int_1cbde068 | comment |
When it's Sasquatch's turn to use his stretching power, Komodo (or rarely another Animal Mechanical) will usually drop him a hint among the lines of "We need someone that can stre-e-etch!". Sasquatch wonders who can that be. It takes for Komodo to clear his throat at him and/or Mouse to giggle at him (or just a simple Beat) in order for Sasquatch to finally remember he's the resident Rubber Man of the team. Cue Sasquatch's Transformation Sequence. Sometimes, Mouse giggles at Sasquatch after he realizes he's needed. A variant of this gag has the other team members look at Sasquatch after someone announces they need someone that can stretch. Sasquatch foolishly looks behind him as if there's someone else behind to which everyone is looking. In another variant, Sasquatch says he just had an idea after remembering his stretching ability. At this, Komodo says "Why didn't I think of that?" before cutting to Sasquatch's Transformation Sequence. Yet another variant has the other Animal Mechanicals pointing directly at Sasquatch as Komodo clears his throat. | |

Fat and Skinny: Sasquatch and Komodo, respectively. The bulk of the show's comedy is in the ways on which Sasquatch, through his dumb actions, accidentally ends up hurting Komodo. The show's official press kit even refers to the duo as a "Laurel and Hardy team". | |

Coconut Meets Cranium: Naturally, it happens to Komodo briefly in "Mechana Coconut Island". While he's talking about Mechana Coconuts, Sasquatch tries to warn him about a falling coconut, but Komodo, following one of the series' Running Gags, dismisses it. This, of course, leads to him getting bonked on the head and seeing Circling Tools. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: In "Bunny Boomer Island", the second episode of the whole series, Komodo gets considerably knocked out by Sasquatch as usual. However, the Circling Tools never appear despite doing so in the previous episode ("Turbo Bean Trouble"). In the first four episodesnote "Turbo Bean Trouble", "Bunny Boomer Island", "Cow Castle Hassle" and "Whale Plane Island", Komodo doesn't shake his head after getting dizzy. In Season 1, the Running Gag of Komodo warning Sasquatch and then Sasquatch repeating what Komodo just said was used much less in comparison to the other seasons. | |

Letting the Air out of the Band: In "Jigsaw-Shark Puzzle", Sasquatch's transformation theme comes to a halt when he tries to transform without noticing that he's holding an uncomfortable Mouse up highnote As Mouse is scared of the Jigsaw-Sharks, Sasquatch has to hold her hand so as to calm her down. Also happens in "Mechana Skee Ball Island" after Sasquatch realizes he can't stretch from the start of the ski track in order to correct the numbers at the bottom. | |

Surprise Jump: A Running Gag has Sasquatch jumping backwards when startled by something, inevitally landing on Komodo and making him see Circling Tools. In "Balloon Volcano Island", Komodo does this every time he hears a balloon pop. In the end, Sasquatch accidentally falls on a balloon and pops it, which causes Komodo to jump in fear and end up stuck on a tree's branch. Getting him down ends up being the team's new mission. At the end of "Tiger Knight Island", Sasquatch does this after getting scared by the Tiger Captain's roar. He ends up stuck on one of the Captain's round platforms, and, again, it's the team's new mission to bring him down. | |

Who Would Be Stupid Enough? | |
Animal Mechanicals / int_766c1cc6 | comment |
Who Would Be Stupid Enough?: Subverted in "Turbo Bean Trouble". Komodo asks who would be foolish enough to fall for the Turbo Bean trap the team has just prepared, only to then get hit by Sasquatch, who is holding the flying Turbo Bean. Sure enough, Komodo falls in the trap and gets the Circling Tools. | |

Circling Birdies | |
Animal Mechanicals / int_786e5cac | comment |
Komodo warns Sasquatch of something. Sasquatch does it anyway, causes Komodo to have Circling Tools around his head and rolling eyes by doing that (usually by crashing with him) and tells Komodo what he has just told him. Komodo shakes away the tools and answers Sasquatch in a usually sarcastic manner. Heck, Sasquatch unintentionally causing Komodo to be the Butt-Monkey, no matter if the latter gets Circling Tools or not, is a Running Gag in itself! | |

Later-Installment Weirdness: In almost all of Season 3, the answers Komodo gives to Sasquatch after getting hit accidentally are accompained by a close-up shot of him staring at the camera awkwardly (a shot that also shows him shaking away his Circling Tools beforehand). That didn't happen in the previous seasons. | |

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Overly impulsive Sasquatch is the red oni to careful Komodo's blue oni, and they both end up clashing with each other in every episode (both figuratively and, most of the time, literally). Ironically, their oni colors are switched in their bodies: Sasquatch's body color is blue and Komodo's is red. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Animal Mechanicals / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: In "Cow Castle Hassle", Mouse is frustrated that she won't be able to lead the Cow Castle through the entire corn maze, so Unicorn comforts her saying that someday she'll be able to lead the team. Later, as the Cow Castle is about to crash with a gate, Mouse ends up saving her using her Mechana Fast abbility to get in front of her and open said gate. Sasquatch and Komodo's fears on the episodes "Dino Mountain Island" and "Balloon Volcano Island" are anticipated during Island Owl's explanation of the mission. After the latter explains that (on one hand) the Animal Mechanicals will have to go to the top of the Dino Mountain and that (on the other) the balloons are popping everywhere, Sasquatch and Komodo doubtfully ask him to confirm those points. Later, during the missions, Sasquatch reveals his fear of heights and Komodo reveals his fear of popping balloons. Similarly, in "Hippo Hovercraft Island", Komodo is shown nervous as Sasquatch, during Island Owl's speech, gets excited at the Hippo Hovercrafts bumping. Later, in the Island, it's revealed that Komodo doesn't like bumping. | |

Sasquatch sees that something is about to hit Komodo while the latter is distracted, so he tries to call his attention with "Uh... Komodo?". Komodo tells Sasquatch not to interrupt what he's doing (usually in the form of "Not now Sasquatch! I am [doing X]!"), only to then get hit and see the Circling Tools. Sasquatch asks Komodo if it's a good time to give out the warning he intended to. Komodo shakes away the tools and agrees with him sarcastically. | |

Shout-Out | |
Animal Mechanicals / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Unicorn having a magic horn is inspired from My Little Pony. In "Mechana Pegosaurus Island", the team must protect three Mechana pigs from the title Mechana Pegosaurus' falling pegs. This reminds Sasquatch of a story about three little pigs, but he can't put his finger on its name. After remembering that story, the Animal Mechanicals have the idea of building the Mechana pigs a house, even using straw and sticks in their first attempts. However, those houses get squashed easily by the pegs. The Mechanicals end up using those pegs to successfully build a much stronger house. In the same episode, Sasquatch guesses the story about the three little pigs is called Jack and the Beanstalk, Humpty Dumpty, Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Gretel and Goldilocks and the Three Bears. In "Mechana Buffalo Bus Island", the flash of the chipmunks' cameras startles the Buffalo Bus, just like King Kong. In "Mechana Hide 'N Seek Hamster Island", a hamster gets stuck on a tube because of eating too much. | |

Character Catchphrase: "Animal Mechanical Mission Time!" After Island Owl comes out of his egg: "Mechana can you/we do it?" "We Animal! Mechanical! Can!" Komodo has lots of them: "If I am correct, and I always am..." "Fascinating!" "Fascinating creature(s)!" "Curious!" "Question" (before asking something to Island Owl) "Bad idea!" (when warning Sasquatch of something) "Not good" Sasquatch has "It's pounding time!" and "Oopsie!". Unicorn always says a special phrase refering to each of the remaining team members whenever they use their respective special ability: "Strong like a titanium Tyrannosaurus!" (when Rex uses his ability) "Stretchy like a big rubber monkey!"note changed to "fantastic elastic" in later episodes (when it's Sasquatch) "Handy dandy tool time!" (when it's Komodo) "Fast like a rocket!" (when it's Mouse)note Unicorn says this after another character, usually Komodo, remarks that Mouse is fast Mouse tends to say "Unicorn is the coolest!" after Unicorn transforms. | |

Security Cling: Played for Laughs in "Balloon Volcano Island". Komodo is so scared at the balloons popping, that he ends up leaping on Sasquatch's arms twice. And in both ocassions, the team must chase something afterwards (a balloon and a bouncing hedge, respectively), which leads to Sasquatch unconsciously throwing Komodo away before joining the others. The second time this happens, Komodo gets the usual Circling Tools after hitting the ground. | |

Fairy Tale Episode | |
Animal Mechanicals / int_df413545 | comment |
Fairy Tale Episode: "Mechana Pegosaurus Island" is a Whole-Plot Reference to The Three Little Pigs. Lampshaded in the beginning by Sasquatch, to whom the mission of the day reminds him of a story about three little pigs, but can't remember which. He even gets to mistake its title for those of other fairy tales. | |

Plot Allergy | |
Animal Mechanicals / int_e064dc5a | comment |
Plot Allergy: In "Baboon Balloon Island", Sasquatch is shown to be allergic to air pears (i.e. they cause him to sneeze), which difficults things when he needs to grab them using his stretching power. | |

Suspiciously Specific Denial: In "Mechana Mole Miner Island", the team decides to use a piece of gold in order to lure some crows away from their nest and get back all the gold they have stolen from the Mechana Mole Miners. Sasquatch initially tries to lure the crows, telling them that "We're not trying to trick you or anything!". | |

Animal Mechanicals / int_e71ad328 | comment |
Plot Tailored to the Party: The challenges presented to the Animal Mechanicals during their missions are based around this, as they require the five to use their special abilities in order to overcome them. Subverted as only three Animal Mechanicals (rarely two or four) are used in a regular episode. | |

Sasquatch comments on a problem, indirectly and inadvertently giving out a solution to it. That solution turns out to be correct. In a variant of this gag, after Sasquatch gives out a solution, an exchange among these lines happens: | |

In another variant, Sasquatch says he just had an idea after remembering his stretching ability. At this, Komodo says "Why didn't I think of that?" before cutting to Sasquatch's Transformation Sequence. | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
Animal Mechanicals / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: Sasquatch is prone to this: In "Mechana Dragonfly Island", Komodo explains that the Mechana Dragonfly needs to be thrown away in order to fly, like a paper airplane. Sasquatch thinks that means the Dragonfly will fly if they throw a paper airplane at her. In "Mechana Jukebox Island", Komodo tells Sasquatch that someone (i.e. Sasquatch himself) can stretch and get a disk from a tree while he/she dances along with the Be-Boppers. Sasquatch agrees with him saying that stretching is good for the muscles, so he tells the Be-Boppers to stretch while they dance. | |
