Summer Camp Island

Summer Camp Island is an American animated series that airs on Cartoon Network and HBO Max (as of season 2) created by Julia Pott. The series first aired on July 7, 2018.

Synopsis
Set in a world of anthropomorphic animals, Summer Camp Island follows two childhood best friends Oscar Peltzer, an elephant, and Hedgehog, a mammal of the same name, who are dropped off at a magical summer camp. The camp is a host to many bizarre occurrences, such as camp counselors who are popular girl witches, horses that transform into unicorns, talking sharks, yetis, haunted cabins, post-it notes that lead to other dimensions, and nosey monsters that live under the bed. Oscar and Hedgehog must contend with these out-of-place events and make their stay at camp worthwhile.

 * 14) The voice acting is great and pleasant to listen to.
 * 15) Some funny and exciting moments here and there.

Bad Qualities
