Ep 37. Dr?le de machine
Zig & Sharko is a French animated television series for kids, featuring the adventures of a hungry hyena named Zig, who constantly tries to catch and eat a mermaid named Marina, but his efforts are always thwarted by her tough protector, a shark named Sharko. In episode 37 of season 1, titled "Drôle de machine" (Funny Machine), the trio gets caught up in a wacky adventure involving a mysterious machine and some mistaken identities.
The episode begins with Zig inventing a new machine, which he claims is a "super-inflatable-ejector". He believes that this invention will finally help him catch Marina, but when he tries to test it out, it backfires and sends him flying into a nearby laboratory. Inside the laboratory, Zig discovers another strange machine, which he assumes to be a cloning device.
Meanwhile, Marina is having a peaceful swim in the ocean until she is suddenly attacked by a group of identical sharks who all look like Sharko. She manages to escape but is confused by the sudden appearance of so many Sharkos. As she tries to make sense of the situation, she sees Zig in the distance and assumes that he has somehow cloned Sharko to catch her.
Back at the lab, Zig experiments with the "cloning" machine, and accidentally clones himself multiple times. The lab technician, who owns the machine, is surprised to find Zig and his clones in the lab and mistakes them for assistants he had ordered from a company called "Zig & Clones". Zig, always the opportunist, pretends to be the boss of this clone-making company and convinces the technician to let him take the machine to a client who needs it urgently.
Zig takes the machine and sets off to find Marina, with his army of clones following him. Meanwhile, Marina is still on the run from what she believes to be Sharko's clones. She eventually reaches a beach where a group of tourists is enjoying their vacation. One of the tourists, a young boy named Bernie, sees Marina and is instantly smitten by her. He tries to get close to her but is constantly thwarted by the Sharko clones, who are still chasing her.
Zig finally catches up with Marina, but his plan to use the cloning machine to capture her fails miserably. Instead, he accidentally clones Bernie, who is so excited to be near Marina that he starts bouncing around like a rubber ball. The clones, Zig, Marina, and Bernie, all get tangled up in a chaotic chase that takes them through the lab, the beach, and a nearby amusement park.
In the end, Sharko finally arrives on the scene and saves the day. He quickly realizes that the shark clones are not actually clones but robotic sharks that are controlled by a remote device. He destroys the remote and captures the villainous technician, who was behind the robot sharks' attack. Zig, Marina, and Bernie all return to their respective lives, and Sharko goes back to protecting Marina from any future attempts by Zig.
"Drôle de machine" is a hilarious and entertaining episode of Zig & Sharko that is sure to keep children engaged with its wacky story and colorful animation.
