Pepee

Pepee is a CGI Turkish animated series created by Ayşe Şule Bilgiç. The series first premiered on TRT Çocuk on June 6, 2008, and ended on August 20, 2016. It only has 8 seasons and 208 episodes.

Plot
Pepee is a 5-year-old boy living with his loving family and friends in endless green fields. During his daily little adventures, Pepee learns shapes, colors, numbers... With his cute little sister Bebee, cousin Shila, grandparents, giraffe, and monkey friends, he discovers the emotions and learns how to deal with them.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) First off, this series was a blatant rip-off of the CGI animated 2005 children's cartoon series Pocoyo. Character examples:
 * 2) * Pepee is the main titular character of the 2005 CGI TV series but the difference was that Pepee spoke whereas Pocoyo didn't say much.
 * 3) * Zulu is this of Elly. Due to both characters having pink colors, the only difference is that Zulu is a giraffe whereas Elly is an elephant.
 * 4) The theme song in the show for the first season is unbearable to listen to.
 * 5) Terrible and poorly made background designs. One example:
 * 6) * The background of Pepee's house outside.
 * 7) The CGI animation can be horrendous and stiff for a Turkish children's show.
 * 8) Depending on your view, in the 2nd episode of the series, there was a scene where Pepee cries when he broke his arm riding his bike, which can be hurtful, due to Yagiz Alp Simsek crying during recording.
 * 9) Somewhat poorly made CGI characters, especially the designs of Pepee and his family.
 * 10) The series can have bad morals sometimes, just like Caillou and Peppa Pig.
 * 11) The other problem with this series is that the CGI animation made in the pilot/first episodes was poorly made and it copied the main plot of Pocoyo to the point where Zinkia sued Dusyeri for copyright infringement in 2013, which Pepee creator Ayse never knew at the time.
 * 12) Very off-putting songs for the episodes.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The CGI animation has become less stiff and has been since improved in seasons 5-8, months after Zinkia took Dusyeri to court over copyright.
 * 2) The characters' designs in the show also have been improved in seasons 5-8, possibly due to the lawsuit made by Zinkia themselves.
 * 3) Very well-done logo for the series.
 * 4) The show can also have good lessons like sharing, loving, caring about your friends, and more.
 * 5) Some likable characters like Shila, Bebee, Bibii, Tutuu, Duduu, Mimii, Zezee, and Maymus as well as his parents and grandparents.

Reception

 * The series received mixed-to-negative reviews. It currently holds a 59% on Google and a 5.7/10 on IMDb.

Trivia

 * The series has a lot of merchandise in some countries.
 * There is a English dub of a series but the dub actors are hard to identify.
