Zig & Sharko is an animated French TV show aimed at young children. The show revolves around the antics of a hyena named Zig, who is constantly trying to catch and eat a mermaid named Marina, while a shark named Sharko acts as her protector. This is the description of Season 1 Episode 72 entitled Space Fruits.

In this episode, Zig is feeling particularly ravenous and after failing in countless attempts to catch Marina, he decides to take a different approach. He remembers a book he once read about intergalactic fruits and how they were said to be the most delicious of all fruits in the universe. Zig, being the opportunist that he is, decides that he must travel to space to sample these fruits.

Zig hatches a plan to build his own spaceship out of various items he scrounges up on the beach. With the help of his friend Bernie, a nerdy little hermit crab, they manage to construct a spaceship that looks a lot like a giant trash can. Zig takes off into space and after a few failed attempts, manages to find a planet that is supposedly abundant in these intergalactic fruits.

Meanwhile, Sharko becomes worried when Marina suddenly disappears. He starts a frantic search for her and eventually discovers Zig's spaceship hurtling towards the planet. Sharko decides he must follow Zig to the planet to protect Marina.

When they arrive on the planet, they discover that it is inhabited by some peculiar aliens who are obsessed with eating the intergalactic fruits. Zig is immediately drawn to the fruit and starts to chow down, much to the chagrin of the aliens. Sharko, on the other hand, is busy trying to find Marina.

As Zig continues to eat the fruit, he starts to experience strange hallucinations which make him more insatiable. Sharko finally finds Marina and is relieved to see that she is unharmed. However, they soon realize that they need to find a way to get Zig off the planet before he eats all the fruit and causes a catastrophe.

In the end, they come up with a clever plan to distract Zig and get him back into his spaceship. They finally manage to get Zig back to earth, and he falls into a deep slumber due to the effects of the intergalactic fruit. Sharko and Marina breathe a sigh of relief that their latest adventure ended without any major incidents.

Overall, this episode is a fun-filled adventure that will keep young children entertained. It has a good lesson about not being greedy and respecting the environment, and the animation is colorful and vibrant. The characters are lovable and quirky, and the humor is appropriate for young children. If your child loves cartoons with plenty of action and adventure, this is definitely an episode worth watching.
