Voice cast (and, yes, it looks like some characters are credited to two people, but that's what IMDB says):

  • Ian James Corlett as Commander ApeTrully, Mighty Ray, and Mr. No Hands
  • Brian Drummond as High Roller, Jumpy Ghostface, and Sparky White
  • Elias Eliot as Jumpy Ghostface and Hopper Bøhfjæs
  • Andrew Francis as Lin Chung and Tank Commander
  • Joon Park as Mr. No Hands
  • Adrian Petriw as Sparky Black and Woo the Wise
  • Kelly Sheridan as Mystique Sonia and Rosefinch
This British/Taiwanese/Canadian/Chinese program has a look that's similar to other shows of its time, with a blend of '50s retro and computer games, but I honestly didn't know what I was seeing for the first few minutes.  It's as absurd, if not as charming, as Adventure Time, with the title hero, Lin Chung, and his Team Green accepting animals' challenges-- jump-roping bunnies and party-blower-blowing elephants-- in order to win that "castle's" loyalty.  And there are fart jokes.

Kent Redeker wrote this and seven other episodes (as well as some Doc McStuffins).  Three directors are credited: John Fountain (his only episode), Pongo Kou (his first of four), and Trevor Wall (also his first of four).
