Old School Toons

[r8hitman]

Does anybody have any 'old school' cartoons that just dont come on anymore, and most people dont even seem to remember?

Well I used to watch this cartoon called 'Transor Z' and everytime I ask someone about it, they never seem to remember.

Does anybody have any info on this old school toon?

[Ribbons]

Oi'm about t' pimp me own thread here, but iffin' it's old school cartoons that ye be looking to parlay on, r8, ye might get a kick out of this thread about Nicktoons.

As for some other ones? Hmm... arrgh! Patience, ye scallawags! I definitely know some, but none are coming to mind at the moment.

"Pirates of the Dark Water"?

[thebostonlocksmith]

I've never heard of it before (Transor Z).... But you can buy episodes of it here.... (Not my recomendation, just an option)

http://www.angelfire.com/sc/enforcer/

There's also a load of stuff about it.

[buster00]

"Silverhawks" was far superior to its Rankin-Bass cousin, "ThunderCats."


Wings of silver, sucka. Nerves of steel.

Thanks.

That's first time I've seen ANYTHING about that show in years.

(that video on Youtube looks like something new though)

Hate to disagree with you, but Thundercats made the Silverhawks look like the Smurfs.

Thunder....Thunder......Thundercats.....HOOOOO!!!!

[The Vicar]

Johnny Quest?

Too Stone Age School?

It was great, though.
Loved the spider-robot.

Anyone remember Watoo Watoo: Superbird?

Couldn't find a version in English, but this will jog your memory if you've ever seen it.

I also like Centurions, which had a kind of Iron Man thing going on. The 3 guys in it had great names as well. Max Ray, Jake Rockwell and Ace McCloud.

Gimme Wild Weasel!

[bastard_robo]

Oh.. how about a little show called VOLTRON!!!!!!!!!!

Or Dinosasurs, or Filmations GHOSTBUSTERS, The super mario bros super show. Conan the adventurer, Denver the last dinosaur, just to name a few

[Tyrone_Shoelaces]

I think I still have the Silverhawks pilot on tape somewhere.

Mysterious cities of gold. Now there's a pearler


Snorks... the smurfs underwater ripoff cousins.

[WinslowLeach]

Gaiking, Star Blazers, Tennesee Tuxedo

[LaDracul]

I had a thing for Jayce from "Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors" as a girl...which explains why I have a thing for anime bishies...

But as a girl, I liked "Beverly Hills Teens", "Wildfire", "Muppet Babies", "Hello Kitty's Furry Tail Theater" (With Tara Charendoff-Strong as Kitty) and "She-Ra".

Other ones I liked were "Centurions", "The Real Ghostbusters" and the anime fairy tales Saban dubbed for Nickelodeon.

[MonkeyM666]

Here's another...



...'They're gross but they still get girls!'


Go Toxic Crusaders!

[instant_karma]

Anyone remember the feature length version of The Racoons cartoon?

From what little I can recall it was mostly a criticism of the Cold War and the industrial/military complex. Honestly.

[MonkeyM666]

You'll be talking about Watership Downs next...


damn rabbits making me cry as a kid.....

[papalazeru]

Watership Downs? Was it the overhead power cables that made them all have Downs?


Haha!

Anyone remember Maxie's World.

yes...Im ashamed but very few cartoons slipped me by as a kid.

[MonkeyM666]

I remember Maxie's world... it was pretty bad.

You'll be talkiing about the Punky Bruster animated series next!

Oh and Papa...

I always thought it was Downs

[Fawst]

Oh, this is easy.

Bravestarr. "They needed a THOUSAND lawmen... they got one. He was enough."

Thundarr The Barbarian. Ookla the Mok. 'nuff said.

Spiral Zone. Fucking CLASSIC underrated goodness (and whenever all the drunk guys get together at parties and talk about stuff from when they were kids, they never remember it. Earn geek points by tossing this one out).

Inhumanoids. D'COMPOSE!!! And the two magma guys whose whole purpose was to hold that one bad guy in an energy cell? Sweetness!

Mister T. With a bunch of acrobats.

Dungeons & Dragons. "It's the Dungeons and Dragons ride!"

Captain Power. "POWER ON!" Not to mention some of the greatest toys ever.

And last but not least, every late-20's guy's first foray into sexuality...

JEM! Jem is excitement, OOOOOoooooooooh Jem! Music and glitter, fashion and fame! Jem is my name! JEM!

I suck.

[MonkeyM666]

Shall I mention…

Widget the World Watcher....

or maybe...


Captain Planet, he's our hero,
Gonna take pollution down to zero,
He's our powers magnified,
And he's fighting on the planet side

Captain Planet, he's our hero,
Gonna take pollution down to zero,
Gonna help him put us under,
Bad guys who like to loot and plunder

"You'll pay for this Captain Planet!"

(all of the gang)
We're the planeteers,
You can be one too!
'Cause saving our planet is the thing to do,
Looting and polluting is not the way,
Hear what Captain Planet has to say:

"THE POWER IS YOURS!!"



And that was from memory! And the lyrics are by Phil Collins…


Now I suck....

[WinslowLeach]

I really loved the old Hanna Barbera action toons like The Herculoids, Johnny Quest, Galaxy Trio, Fantastic Four, Shazzan, etc.

[Fawst]

PHIL COLLINS?! The guy from Def Leppard?!

[MonkeyM666]

BOOOO FAWST!



No this one...

[Vegeta]

Gaiking, Star Blazers, Tennesee Tuxedo

Tennesee Tuxedo and Dudley Do Right were part of the Underdog cartoon show. So was that show with the talking dog and little kid who would travel through time and give us history lessons. What the hell was the name of the show again?

[Tyrone_Shoelaces]

Captain Planet took the short bus to the old school.

They were on Rock and Bullwinkle I think.

Peabody's Improbable History segment...

Mr. Peabody was the dog...

It's old school for me

[Fawst]

Hmm... maybe I'm just confusing my toys with my cartoons, but was there ever a cartoon for Crystar The Crystal Warrior?

[MonkeyM666]

Wiki says nooo......

Comics and toys but no cartoon by the look of it.

I do remember the toys... just. You got like a crystal ring or something with ever pack?

No, I totally think it was a rip from NKOTB's "Step by Step".

[MonkeyM666]

LOL....I never actually thought about that. It was totally lame in parts (especially the heart kid...)so you never know...

I always liked widget more, he could change shape god damn it! And having WWW as the show acronym just as the net was kicking in... totally rocking dude...

[unikrunk]

Go find The Secret Railroad, if you can. Most insane tripped out acid trip of a kids cartoon ever.

Also -

Williow the Wisp
The Mighty Hercules
Rocket Robin Hood
Galaxy Trio
The Racoons
C.O.P.S.
Barbapapa

Captain Planet = DiC.

[WinslowLeach]

I loved Mr Peabody and Sherman. When I was around 13 I had a really cool t-shirt with all those cartoon characters in one group on the front (Underdog, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Mr Peabody and Sherman, Tennesee Tuxedo and Chumley, etc)

[buster00]

I liked "Galaxy High" a lot. Did you know John "Ren & Stimpy" Kricfalusi worked on that show?

"Gravedale High," not so much. "Drak Pack" was far superior.

[DinoDeLaurentiis]

Old school, eh? Holy crappa I thought you putzes were gonna to talk about a the old Fleischer Popeye cartoons anna such...

[WinslowLeach]

"Ug Ug Ug Ug"

[bastard_robo]

Anyone remember: FOX's Peter Pan and the Pirates. With Tim Curry as the voice of Capt. Hook?

[Vegeta]

I actually caught one of those a couple of weeks ago, can't remember where though.

[Brocktune]

But as a girl, I liked "Beverly Hills Teens"

me too!

only difference is, im a guy

im so fucking lame.

[instant_karma]

A few more favourites that haven't been mentioned.

Defenders of the Earth. Never saw as many of these as I wanted due to stoopid paper round.

Jamie and His Magic Torch.

Sport Billy.

And Death Metal pioneers, The Groovy Goolies.

[Brocktune]

And Death Metal pioneers, The Groovy Goolies.

now are you talking about the first groovie goolies, with Sabrina the Teenage Witch, the second, where it was all about them, or are you talking about the third, anthological groovie goolies, where the goolies were exclusive to host segments, where they introduced lesser cartoons, including "Fraidy Cat" "Wacky & Packy" and animated versions of "Gilligan's Island", "My Favorite Martian", and "Lassie"?

Fractured Fairy Tales was part of that show. Damn, that was hysterical. Always ended with a pun on the classis ending ie: 'and they lived snappily ever after'.

Remember Mr. Peabody's really bad puns? Ah, I miss the wee white one...
