Show Summary

  • Ended
Camp Lazlo is Cartoon Network's original Series. Created by Joe Murray, who is known for such shows as Nickelodeon's Rocko's Modern Life, Camp Lazlo features a very crazy summer camp. Cast:''Like Joe's other show, this show also features all animal characters. Carlos Alazraqui, Tom Kenny, and Mr. Lawrence, who used to work for Joe on Rocko's Modern Life, also provide lead voices in this show. New voice actors/actresses are well-known voice actor Jeff Bennet, first time voice acting Steve Little, Broadway actress Jodi Benson, and Tom Kenny's wife Jill Talley.''''Story:''Camp Lazlo chronicles life in a place called Camp Kidney that's set in the Pimpleback Mountains next to Leakey Lake, with rustic cabins named after all of the famous beans (Soy, Garbanzo, Jumping and Cocoa among them). It centers on an energetic Brazilian monkey named Lazlo who happens to be a Bean Scout and hangs with his two best pals: a wise and neurotic Indian elephant named Raj and Clam, your basic highly intelligent albino pygmy rhino. They're surrounded by Scoutmaster Algonquin C. Lumpus, a thin-skinned moose, and a Squirrel Scout camp full of girls across the lake. The adventures of once an ordered camp to a camp full of wacky events.''''Characters:''''Bean Scouts''''Lazlo is the main character of the show and he has a tough time with structure, rules and routines of the camp. Voiced by: Carlos Alazraqui.''''Raj is a giant elephant who hates a mess, cowers from snakes, bugs, often brings Lazlo back down to Earth, and hates being alone which is why he often follows his friends -- and getting in trouble with them. Voiced by: Jeff Glenn Bennett.''''Clam is the third member of the group in the Jelly Cabin trio. Although he is often described as "four cents short of a nickel." he is acutally very intelligent, but never applies himself. Voiced by: Carlos Alazraqui.''''Lumpus, the frustrated and scoutmaster moose, is always trying to bring down the fun and he is very self-centered. He has a major crush on Jane Doe, the scoutmisstress of Acorn Flats. Voiced by: Tom Kenny.''''Slinkman is Lumpus' sidekick who has all the personality of a tree stump and no back bone. He is an obediant person slug but doesn't stand up for himself. Voiced by: Tom Kenny.''''Edward the Platypus is Lazlo's self-proclaimed enemy who always tries to ruin everyone's day and if someone is not on his side holds a strong grudge. Voiced by: Doug Lawrence.''''The Dung Beetles, or, Chip and Skip, are Edward's two smelly, and clueless Dung Beetle "side-kicks". Voiced by: Steve Little.''''Squirrel Scouts''''Patsy Smiles is a chirpy mongoose that has a major crush on Lazlo. Even though she can be a bit annoying at times, she makes attempts to get to him. Other than that characteristic, she actually knows various fighting moves and hates a lot of girly stuff like dresses. Voiced by: Jodi Bensons.''''Nina Neckerly, one of Patsy's best friends, she's very much the smart one of her friends. More on the bookish side and maybe a nice Squirrel Scout among everyone. Voiced by: Jill Talley.''''Gretchen is an ever-hungry alligator that wants to eat anything, especially happy monkeys. She's the toughest one of the 3 main Squirrel Scouts and is always in a grouchy mood. Therefore, she is best to be avoided. Voiced by: Jill Talley.''''The Scoutsmistress of the Squirrel Scouts, Jane Doe is a perky deer that has to deal with the girls everyday. She is unaware of Lumpus' crush for her. Voiced by: Jodi Benson.''''Together these characters make one big laugh-fest!

  • Why did Cartoon Network cancel a wonderful cartoon like "Camp Lazlo"?

    I love this cartoon so much and it was the greatest cartoon that I have ever seen on Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network isn't how it used to be and that makes me furious. If this cartoon was still airing on Cartoon Network... I would be watching Cartoon Network more often. I wish they at least show the reruns in the afternoon instead of early mornings. You know how "SpongeBob SquarePants" is the greatest Nickelodeon cartoon I've ever seen. Well... "Camp Lazlo" is the greatest Cartoon Network cartoon I've ever seen. In a way, "Camp Lazlo" reminds me of "SpongeBob SquarePants" because here are the similarities... it's a classic. "Camp Lazlo" and "SpongeBob SquarePants" both have the same classic humor. Lazlo, Raj, and Clam are similar to SpongeBob and Patrick. Edward is similar to Squidward because they are both grumpy. This cartoon even plays the same background music that "SpongeBob SquarePants" has which I love. I love all of the characters in this cartoon. Edward can be an unlikable character sometimes but it's funny because he gets abused just like Squidward. I don't like the Squirrel Scouts that much though because they just seem to beat the Bean Scouts at everything. I don't need to mention all of the character's names because I love all of them (Bean Scouts at least). Overall, this is cartoon that all ages will enjoy and it's a very funny cartoon just like "SpongeBob SquarePants"... it is just a shame that this wonderful cartoon got canceled. 10/10moreless

    Joe Murry continues to be a great creator with Camp Lazlo. The show is about a monkey named Lazlo who befriends Raj, an elephant, and Clam, a rhino. All three of them are Bean Scouts and are at a summer camp who get into crazy adventures with other Bean Scouts and deal with the Squirrel Scouts. The show has artwork and animation that gives a nice atmosphere that feels like Rocko. Characters are well drawn with interesting designs and the sets look great. Each character is not memorable and well characterized, but they bring in their own sense of humor and it combines together and is executed perfectly. Each plot adds in new things to stories already seen to keep them fresh and some are unique and original. Camp Lazlo has everything that makes it great to watch. Lovable characters, excellent humor, original plots, and of course Joe Murry made it. I just wish it didn't end so soon and that it would be brought back on the air. Check this show out, it's a summer camp experience you won't want to pass up.moreless

    This is an excellent show and this and Foster's are the only good shows on Cartoon Network it is about the wacky adventures of Lazlo a monkey who is starting camp and is the main character and his friends Raj and Clam there arch enemies are possibly the Squirrel Scouts(Patsy sometimes joins in with Lazlo instead) Camp Lazlo is an excellent show from the creators of Rocko's Modern Life.

  • One of my favorite shows on CN! CAMP LAZLO FOREVER!

    Silly, crazy, cute, and totally random! These are the best words to describe Camp Lazlo, the hilarious new cartoon from that animation genius, Joe Murray! (He's the creator of the classic Nicktoon, Rocko's Modern Life, but you probably already knew that.) The show revolves around a happy, optimistic Brazilian Spider Monkey named Lazlo, and his two friends Raj, an often nervous Indian Elephant who speaks with a heavy accent, and Clam, an intelligent, but not very talkatvive Albino Pygmy Rhino. They spend their summer at Camp Kidney, which is run by Scoutmaster Lumpus, a strict and grumpy old Moose. Togeter, the three Bean Scouts go on wacky adventures, and cause a lot of mayhem along the way!
    I think the show's plot is very original, and Mr. Murray did a great job bringing all these fun adventures to life. This show has a very happy, almost "90's" feel to it. What's great about Camp Lazlo is that it doesn't need to try to be "cool" or "hip". It relies solely on light hearted comedy, original storylines, and wacky characters to entertain its viewers, and that's what I love about it. I feel like a kid again whenever I watch it, even though I've never been to a summer camp before. Camp Lazlo is a very fun and upbeat show, and it's bound to put a smile on your face!moreless

    Camp Lazlo was a very good cartoon. It was quite funny, it had good animation and it had good characters. I'm sorry to hear it's cancelled. I miss this along with Cartoon Network's other good cartoons. FHFIF, KND, HHPAY, MGPAM, Billy and Mandy and PPG. I would like Camp Lazlo to return.
