Ep 32. Brique ? brac
Zig & Sharko is a French animated series that follows a hyena named Zig as he attempts to catch and eat a mermaid named Marina, who is protected by her friend Sharko, a muscular shark with a soft spot for Marina. The show is known for its visual humor, quirky characters, and fast-paced action.
Season 1 episode 32, "Brique ? brac," begins with Zig using a homemade submarine to travel underwater and spy on Marina. He sees her playing with a variety of toys and decides to steal one to use as bait for her. He settles on a building block - a small, red brick with which Marina has been building a tower.
Zig returns to shore and devises a plan to use the brick to lure Marina out of the safety of Sharko's protection. He attaches the brick to a fishing rod and lowers it into the water. Marina takes the bait and starts to swim towards the shore, but Sharko sees her and chases after her.
As they reach the shore, Zig attempts to snatch Marina away, but Sharko intercepts him and traps him inside a nearby brick wall. Sharko then takes Marina back to the water, where she happily resumes playing with her toys.
Zig watches from inside the wall, frustrated and defeated. He tries to use his submarine to escape, but it malfunctions and explodes, leaving him stuck inside the wall.
Meanwhile, Marina's tower of bricks collapses, scattering the bricks all over the beach. Sharko starts to clean up the mess, but Marina insists on doing it herself. As she picks up the bricks, she realizes that the brick Zig had used to lure her was missing.
She searches the beach for the brick, eventually finding it embedded in the wall that Zig is trapped inside. She pulls it out, freeing Zig in the process.
Zig is grateful to Marina for freeing him, but his appreciation quickly turns to greed as he tries to take the brick back from her. Sharko intervenes, and a chaotic chase ensues, with Zig and Sharko constantly trying to one-up each other in their efforts to claim the brick.
In the end, Marina realizes that the brick is causing too much trouble and decides to throw it back into the ocean. Zig and Sharko watch in despair as the brick sinks into the water, both realizing that they went to great lengths for nothing.
The episode ends with Zig and Sharko sitting on the beach, exhausted and defeated, as Marina happily swims away with her toys.
Overall, "Brique ? brac" is a fun and fast-paced episode that showcases the show's charming humor and wacky characters. It's a great introduction to the series for anyone who hasn't seen it before, and a welcome return for fans who love its unique brand of slapstick comedy.
