Annie

Annie the Anaconda is a large anaconda who lives in the South American landscape.

Physical Appearance

Annie is a large anaconda - mostly with a red coloration all over her body and head. She has purple and blue stripes as a pattern.

Personality

Often mistaken to be the monster in the forest by Jazz, Leopoldo, and Taco, Annie is generally a gentle anaconda. In fact, she shows a very gentle personality to Adam and possibly other animals who are gentle to her. She also gives other animals teamwork to help solve problems. In addition to providing teamwork, she can also use herself as a bridge for animals to cross gaps. However, due to her being a snake, Annie cannot slither through various cacti, which Adam was able to help her get pass the cacti area by knocking down various cacti to keep Annie safe without getting herself pricked by the cacti, causing Annie and Adam to get past the cactus area quickly.

Jazz, Leopoldo, and Taco were eventually scared of Annie at first for being the monster in the forest. Annie does not do any harm to animals, since she is very gentle. However, since then, Jazz, Leopoldo, and Taco ended up being less antagonistic than before where they were capable of working together with Annie - especially when it comes to teamwork in opening a treasure chest on a mysterious mountain.

Trivia

• Annie is friends with Adam.
• Annie is based on a green anaconda.
• She is very similar to Kaa, a character from The Jungle Book novel series - more specifically the Disney version (which was An Vrombaut's favorite animated film). Both, Kaa and Annie are depicted as large snakes and are friends towards protagonists (Mowgli and Adam). The difference is Annie is an anaconda and Kaa is a python.
  • The "Trust in Me" sequence may have served as an inspiration for Annie's interaction with Adam.
• She, along with Adam, Leopoldo, and Duddley, are the only South American characters not to have Hispanic accents.
• Annie usually lives in trees; unlike real-life anacondas that are supposed to live near river areas.
• Her animation is very similar to the giant raccoon from the Wild Kratts episode: "Masked Bandits". However, there are two differences:
  • Annie scared Jazz, Leopoldo, and Taco, because she's the monster in the forest. The giant raccoon ran past Martin and Aviva, which made them screamed and flee in terror.
• Despite being friends with Adam and being used as a rollercoaster, anacondas in real life are predators to mammals, unlike Annie from the cartoon.
• She is the largest animal encountered in the entire series.
• Annie is called a boa in the Brazilian version. Because "anaconda" would not make sense, Annie is called a "boa". This might imply that Annie is not seen on water. However, both species (anaconda and boa) are native to South America and Brazil.
  • Additionally, Annie has a clear resemblance to a boa constrictor.
