Cartoon Network: The Secret Saturdays and The Marvelous Misadventures of FlapJack

November 4, 2009 by Momstart 224 Comments

D3 Publiser introduced my family to the cartoon the Secret Saturdays. I can’t tell you how much we actually like it. It’s embarrassing , or at least in my case. I can’t speak for my husband daughter and son. The cast is awesome and graphics are great because they aren’t over the top like most cartoons today. It’s just a plain cartoon with a plot line from Supernatural.

Cartoon Network sent me a review copy of The Secret Saturdays Volume 2 and a copy of The Marvelous Misadventures of FlapJack Volume 1.

Who are the Secret Saturdays?

The Secret Saturdays are Mom Drew, Dad Doc, and Zack the kids with the power over the cryptids. They are not your normal family because they don’t sit down together for dinner, they bond over action packed adventures. They find out if they are tough enough to stop VV Argost and his evil plan to get the Kur Stone. Mattel will be creating the toys and D3 published the video game.

The series follows the adventures of the Saturdays, a family of cryptozoologists that work to keep the truth about cryptids from getting out, in order to protect both the human race and the creatures themselves. The Saturdays travel the world searching for cryptids to study and battling twisted villains like the megalomaniac V.V. Argost. The series is influenced by the style of 60s-era Hanna-Barbara action series (such as Jonny Quest), and is combined with Jay Stephens’ own personal interest in cryptozoology. The series also airs on Teletoon in Canada.

Who is Flapjack?

Flapjack is a young boy raised in a talking whale named Bubbie. Flapjack leads a peaceful life until the duo rescue a pirate by the name of Captain K’nuckles, who tells Flapjack of Candied Island. Inspired by the adventurous pirate, Flapjack, Captain K’nuckles, and Bubbie get into strange predicaments and "misadventures" in search of Candied Island and the coveted title of "Adventurer." The three spend most of their time in Stormalong Harbor, where they earn money, eat candy, and get into misadventures.
