How nice it was to finish eating or doing homework, turn on the television, and enjoy programs that marked our entire childhood like Zaboomafoo. Singing very loudly: “Me, and you, and Zoboomafoo!..” was an anthem, that the Kratt brothers made us remember, 25 years after it was released.
Zaboomafoo’s Kratt Brothers Reappear
Through TikTok, the hosts of this program that showed us more aspects of animals and nature touched chords of nostalgia that made us sentimental. The Kratt brothers shared a video to thank them for the support and time dedicated to these adventures that they made us witness with that lemur that we loved so much.
“We can’t believe it’s been 25 years since our first adventures with Zoboomafoo at Animal Junction! Thank you to everyone who watched 25 years ago and to those who still watch it with their families today!” they wrote.
The first time this program was broadcast was on January 25, 1999, since then, it has continued to be part of several generations, especially millennials. The nostalgia generated by seeing the cast reunited highlighting the passing of the years with their gray hair made this video go viral. It managed to accumulate more than five million views in a matter of hours.
And immediately, the memories were present: “I am crying, because of them I am a veterinarian”, “My love for biology was thanks to you”, “Me, and you, and Zaboomafoo, OMG, what a beautiful video, I love you”, “My entire childhood in seconds…”, can be read among the comments.
@thekrattbrothers We can’t quite believe it’s been 25 years since our first adventures with Zoboomafoo at Animal Junction! Thank you to all of you out there who watched 25 years ago and to those of you who still watch with your families today! Keep on leaping! #zoboomafoo #krattbrothers #nostalgia
What Was Zaboomafoo About?
Zaboomafoo (sigh of nostalgia) was a Canadian children’s series that, through 65 chapters, managed to show us the animal world. It was created by brothers Chris and Martin Kratt, who were always accompanied by a lemur called Zaboomafoo.
