Ratz

Ratz is a 2003 French-Canadian animated television series created by Richard Zielenkiewicz. The show stars two rats, Rapido and Razmo, aboard the S.S. Wanderer, a cheese ship without an (apparent) actual destination. The focus of the series is on the adventures of the two rats, including guarding the cheese, interacting with other stowaways and various ill-fated encounters with the crew. The rats themselves live in the hull of the ship in a lavish two-bedroom apartment.

Why You Shouldn't Panic on Board with this Toon

 * 1) Unlike almost in all Western and North American cartoons that portray and often give rats with selfish, antagonizing and evil characteristics, the series gives a positive portrayal to the rat characters, more precisely in Rapido and Razmo.
 * 2) Great voice acting. Just check the French intro for proof.
 * 3) The show is basically the spiritual sucsessor to Space Goofs, and has the two characters getting into wacky situations with strangers.
 * 4) Awesome animation by Big Star Enterprise (the same animation studio for Oggy and the Cockroaches and Ren and Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon").
 * 5) Razmo is a very relateable character. He is also very cute as he talks to a doll when stressed.
 * 6) Awesome theme song in both English (instrumentals) and French (which has lyrics).
 * 7) Great episodes, including:
 * 8) *The Genie
 * 9) *Night of the Toxic Goudas
 * 10) *The Duel
 * 11) *Stop (the first episode in air date order)
 * 12) *Cheese Connection (the first episode in production order)
 * 13) It's basically Oggy and the Cockroaches but with talking.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It lasted for only one season.
 * 2) Rapido 65% of the time. Enough said.

Trivia

 * In the original French dub, Razmo and Rapido were voiced by the French comedy duo Éric et Ramzy.
 * The english version of "Raz, Prince of Darkness" is lost.
