I thought the exact same thing lol the colors and clothing are almost identical. Talk about an uninspired design.

The trailer also has boxes that look awfully familiar, and the font used in the trailer also reminds me of Crash.

Did you notice the Titles with letters in them, that you collect each level? akin to DKC? The other parts remind me more of Rayman. The level layout style is very much DKC too. So while it might have boxes from Crash,.... it looks much more like a DKC game.

Unfortunately I haven't played DKC, but it sounds like they've certainly taken inspiration from a lot of games.

Then watch the trailer, and realise what they copied was actually Donkey Kong Country.

It's both actually, a bit of crash, a bit of Rayman and quite a bit of Donkey Kong.

Looks as if someone mashed together Donkey Kong and Crash. The trailer looks and sounds like it's made by someone who's previous experience in video editing was posting on TikTok though...

I just watched the trailer.... it looks like DKC heavily "inspired" them. There might be a tiny bit if crash bandicoot in there too, but its mainly a donkey kong country clone. It looks decent in the trailer, while this banner image kinda scared me instead.

Personally I'm not at all a fan of the furry aesthetic of the main character, and in fact I actually dislike it. Other than that, the game seems fairly cool... if not exactly very original.
