Ah The Real Ghostbusters was great
I also have fond childhood memories of He-Man and Thundercats Nowadays, not too much impresses me... The SuperMan animated series of the late 90's was very well done. I miss it. Batman too come to think of it. -------------------- "I mean I like to be passionate and sincere, but I also like to have fun and act like a dork."

I don't want to be one of those people, but Peewee's Playhouse wasn't a cartoon (although it did contain its fair share of claymation)

I asked for SHOWS-- not cartoons so the critisism is null and void. Puppets and humans can participate too--- we won't discriminate.

Oh, in that case I say Pee-wee too. And yes, there was lots of animation in the show so even if we are talking about cartoons, it should count, says I.
I loved when the King of Cartoons would show just like a minute or so of a Fleischer short, making his already surreal cartoons seem even weirder. |

My number one favorite saturday morning cartoon: "Thundar the Barbarian." Yes, it was another Hanna-Barbera cartoon that was a mish-mash of elements stolen from other shows, but it's pretty amazing that they could air a show about nomads living on post-nuclear-holocaust earth and call it a kiddie show. Some very weird product came out of hollywood during the Cold War.

Thundarr was a Ruby Spears production, the team that brought us Scooby Doo, while still at Hanna Barbera-- it was created by writer, Steve Gerber (Howard the Duck), the character design was by Jack Kirby AND Alex Toth-- it was the only cartoon that these two powerhouses ever worked together, and harkened back to Kirby's KAMANDI at DC, and Toth's Herculoids for HB. I've heard that John Carpenter was heavily influenced by THUNDARR while in pre production for "Escape from New York", the similarities are staggering.

First off, "Thundarr" wasn't made by Hanna-Barbera, but by Ruby-Spears. Second, the earth wasn't wiped out by nuclear holocaust, but by a meteor passing between the earth and the moon, causing the moon to split in half and generating complete and total worldwide destruction (massive tidal waves, earthquakes, etc.).
"Two-thousand years later, Earth is reborn. A strange new world rises from the old... a world of savages, super-science, and sorcery!" I don't remember there being any backstory to "Thundarr" other than the earth's demise and subsequent rebirth, which leaves me with all sorts of questions like: Who was Thundarr? How did he get the Sun Sword? What was Princess Ariel a princess of? What sort of princess wears a baby-blue leotard? What the hell was Ookla the Mok? And two thousand years into the post-apocalyptic future, would everybody be speaking English? |
