comment |
Running for only four episodes in 1999, this is the most obscure piece of media connected to Ubisoft's Rayman video game series. This series starts out with Rayman as a captive in Rigatoni's circus, along with new characters Lac Mac, Cookie, Betina, and Flips. After escaping the circus, they have to find their way through the city of Aeropolis, with Inspector Grub hot on their trail.Where exactly this all fits in the Rayman continuity is anyone's guess. Notably, Razorbeard, the antagonist of Rayman 2: The Great Escape, does show up in the first episode, although he is reduced to a minion of Rigatoni. The series was supposed to run for 26 episodes, so it might have tied in at some point. |

Paper-Thin Disguise: Rayman fools Inspector Grub by disguising himself as a tourist with a fold-out sign, a teacup to hide his hair and a poor British accent - despite doing nothing to cover his big nose and Floating Limbs, this disguise fools Grub so thoroughly that he only realizes he's talking to one of the criminals he's supposed to be catching when said criminal takes off the teacup. |

Wrongfully Committed: In the third episode, Cookie gets taken to the hospital for a checkup, but when the doctor learns about Cookie's anxiety by scanning his brain, he gets sent to the asylum beneath the hospital. To make matters worse, Inspector Grub is also visiting the asylum to see his mother, so Rayman and friends try to bust Cookie out. Grub ends up on the receiving end when the orderlies mistake him for another patient. |

Kindhearted Simpleton: Lac Mac obviously has low intelligence, but he has not once shown any malicious mean bone in his body and cares a lot about his friends. And in spite of his ugly and stupid appearance, he's more of a good fellow than one would imply. Especially when the audience sympathizes with how he is treated at the circus and has shown to be a good friend towards Rayman and his friends. |
