SYNOPSIS:
Long ago in The Hidden Kingdom, animals and humans lived together in peace… until the evil HighRoller tricked the animals into believing that the humans were their enemies. HighRoller convinced his animal armies to attack the humans and drive them from their homes. Most humans were so downtrodden, they gave up all hope for better days.
That is, until Commander ApeTrully created a base of strategic operations in a giant abandoned turtle shell, submerged in a seemingly quiet lake. He called upon rebel humans and animals to fight the villainous HighRoller and dubbed his rebel force “Big Green.”
Their mission? Restore peace to the land. Big Green’s most elite team of warriors is called First Squad and consists of Lin Chung, Mighty Ray, Mystique Sonia and Jumpy GhostFace. Together they face off against all manner of fierce creatures, like fire-breathing Ligers and magic lantern-wielding Zebras!
REVIEW:
Hero 108 is filled with quirky characters, off the wall humour and strange scenarios! In a world where animals and humans are at war it’s up to a squad of heroes to bring them together, by besting different animal tribes at their own specialities first squad is able to convince the animals to trust in the humans again.
Each episode contains two separate stories usually focusing on a certain heroes problems and then the team facing off against a new animal tribe. The story is extremely repetitive, each episode is almost completely the same but the lack of story is saved by the strange characters who each possess their own ridiculous set of personality traits. The art is different and appealing with heavy sharp lines and flat colours which matches itself well with the simple story lines.
