Buzzu in the Intergalactic School

Buzzu na Escola Intergaláctica (Buzzu in the Intergalactic School in English) is a Brazilian-Colombian computer animated television series created by Rafael Ribas, produced by StartAnima, Centauro Comunicaciones and NBCUniversal International Networks, the series premiered in Brazil and Latin America in the Nat Geo Kids channel in January 1th 2018.

Plot
Buzzu is not a genius, but after his spaceship breakdown, Buzzu ended up by mistake in Artax, the newest school of geniuses in the galaxies. His friends Kaká, Pongoli and Laka will help him find creative ways to adapt to a distant planet.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The story of characters being transferred in a school in space is a very predictable and cliched premise that was already seen in various shows, like Galaxy High School for example.
 * 2) Major plothole: How Buzzu seek into Artax? why does no one notice that there's a stranger in school? In other words why they try to make him adapt into Artax if he not study?
 * 3) * To add salt to the wound, where's Kaká's parents? and why would they left a kid in a school full of alien creatures?
 * 4) Unconvincing and lazy character designs that look like mh:greatestmovies:Monsters, Inc. rejects. But also, the characters don't look like aliens and just look like mutated animals with colorful skin, and even some CGI models for the background characters are recycled.
 * 5) Both the original Colombian Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese dub are appallingly mediocre, with extremely forced voices that sound like the voice actors are unenthusiastic instead of ready.
 * 6) All the characters (expect Buzzu) are stereotypical or just few charismatic.
 * 7) * Kaká is the sophisticated boy.
 * 8) * Laka is the happy-go-lucky girl.
 * 9) * Pongoli is the clumsy giant.
 * 10) * Gus is the bully.
 * 11) * Guilboard is the nervous school principal who hates everything.
 * 12) Just like the majority of Latin American cartoons, the series LITERALLY makes exaggerated use of pop culture references to the point that it feel like the writers weren't even trying to make decent stories. As also there's some references that the children audience can't get.
 * 13) Misleading Title: Despite being the protagonist and having the show named after him. Buzzu has not much importance to the series, making him a background character that came from nowhere.
 * 14) At the end of every episode, Buzzu says his catchprase "Buzzuuuuuuuuu" everywhere, which can get very annoying quickly.
 * 15) The theme song is just irritating, with the lyrics repeating the word Buzzu 8 times.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Buzzu himself is a very funny and entertaining character, even through he barely has character development.
 * 2) *In the same way, Kaká, Laka and Pongoli are nice characters despite being stereotypical.
 * 3) The English voice acting is decent.
 * 4) The background designs (specially for the Artax school) are pretty nice to look out.
 * 5) The CGI animation is very well done, considering the fact that it's animated by StartAnima (the same studio who did the Lino movie).

Reception
Despise receiving a 7.5 rating in IMDb, the series is nowadays one of those cartoons that are extremely rare to find even in the deepest corners of the internet with even the series can be only watch at Globoplay streaming services that is only available in Brazil (likely due to Nat Geo Kids lost rights of the series) But surprisingly, you can watch some scenes of the series in Vimeo with even StartAnima released one of the episodes in English in her official channel, You also can ever watch the first episode in Portuguese below.

Trivia

 * 1) The titular character is based on a drawing that the creator made when he was 12-years old.
 * 2) The series used RenderMan (a software made by Pixar) through her animation.
