Thoughts and Details
We chose Booba because the nephews love it and any time I can think of something to do with them, I'm in. The jokes my nephews laugh the hardest at are the surreal turns and the unpredictable slapstick.
Dr. Texas did not believe me when I told him I've screamed like Booba after stepping on one of his toys.
Booba defies logic and reason and reality to rewind the video.
The ball pit is animated satisfyingly but not realistically. The balls flow like water. They incorporate the sound of ocean for a subtle bit of surreal humor. I like that because I'd rather see something animated in an artistic way than a realistic way.
I thought of this series as just "And this happens". While the plot is spare, the writing has been elevated slightly because there's a more natural transition between events. The show has different kinds of jokes and interesting camera shots.
Way Too Many Details
Booba is sniffing the floor. He runs head first into a giant pear. He takes a bite and it pops explosively. Booba falls into a box of shapes. He chews a piece of the pear and blows it up like gum. He floats up (a respectable helium gum gag) and the bubble/balloon is popped by the fan. He lands on the fan and runs on the blades. He loses his balance then his grip and he is flung into a ball pool. Booba swims. He climbs up a ladder and dives into the pool. He takes the remote, rewinds back to the top of the ladder. He does a more elaborate dive. He pretends to be judges giving him the gold for his dive. He steps on an army man and howls in pain. He acts like a monster and stomps the army men. He finishes that game and marches away holding his hand up in salute.
