Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Weasel – ★★★
   “The intro is iconic and hilarious, the rest of the show… less so. Still, it’s a weird slice of ’90s cartoon history.”

2. comicalgrin – ★★½
   “A corporate attempt to sell toys, but the creature design and voice acting are decent. Could’ve used more actual swamp content.”

3. brian – ★★
   “Campy and dumb but nostalgically fun. Swamp Thing deserves better, but this is a guilty pleasure.”

4. KillerTofu – ★★★½
   “Short-lived but memorable. The intro song alone is worth watching for.”

5. TrashToonKid – ★★
   “They made Swamp Thing into a Saturday morning PSA with goo monsters. It’s insane they thought this would rival Ninja Turtles.”

Meta Description:
Based on the DC Comics character, Swamp Thing: The Animated Series (1990) is a short-lived ’90s cartoon that follows the mutated scientist as he defends the swamp from environmental destruction and villainous forces. Featuring mutant monsters, action-packed plots, and a cult classic intro theme, it’s a weird and wild adaptation worth revisiting.
