I remember two cartoons, one from my youth and one that predates me by ~20 years Predates: The Phantom Tollbooth. Saw it on TV years ago during a christmas line up. I was the only one watching, on the TV in my parent's bedroom. This is a song from the movie, Don't Say There's nothing to do in the Doldrums (It's just not true) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m76PFLg5jpc My favourite part is just after the song ends, the Watchdog (Literally a dog with an alarm clock in his fur, goes off when he gets "alarmed" :P) goes to find Milo, and asks what he's doing there. "Oh, just... killing time" "KILLING TIME!!! (Brrrrring) It's bad enough just wasting time without killing it!"  The one I actually watched when young was Doctor Zitbag's Transylvania Petshop. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmdLV_CmePE I used to love that show when I was 10. Bonus Tollbooth, my favourite song from the movie. A jaunty march called Time is a Gift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJaNDQ-jkxs

Ambiguatron posted:Flight of Dragons It probably goes without saying but I fuckin' love this movie. I wish the only recording of Don McLean singing the theme song wasn't just the one from the film itself since the lead-in is cut off on account of there being narration over it (not to mention that 1980s made-for-TV audio fidelity is poo poo), I fuckin' love that song too. Peter needs to learn to sing though, god drat. Too bad the DVD I bought is bootlegged and not the to-order one you mention here. The last thirty seconds is cut off and any player, from a playback machine to DVD Player executables, will just crash. FUN THE WHITE DRAGON FACT: the only famous personalities I can name off-hand had a role in this movie, and it's only because of this movie Anonymous Robot posted:Ralph Bakshi's Wizards is a super dope movie about fairies and machine guns. Oh man I watched this movie about a month ago because one of my bros brought it up some many years ago and the thought of watching it kinda spontaneously occurred to me. The whole thing is just so surreal. It's like you just know everyone making the movie, from the animators to the director to the voice actors, were just blazing the entire time, and it's glorious. Also, I'm glad you changed your last name, you son of a bitch. ---------- Now, this one is much more crass with none of the class, but even now I love me some Crayon Shinchan. Not that Samurai Pizza Cats-except-with-as-many-extraneously-foul-words-as-we-can-fit-in bastardization they ran on Adult Swim or wherever, but the local KIKU-TV station subtitled tons and tons of these episodes and those are the ones I'm talkin' about. The translation's more spot-on with less "let's change Action Mask's name to Action Bastard BECAUSE IT'S EDGY AND THAT'S WHAT OUR AUDIENCE WANTS!!!!!" but also more Hawaii: the puns that don't translate, they localized; some other common words were kept in, too (for example, Action Mask was Action Kamen here because Hawaii's modern culture has a lot of exposure to stuff like Kikaida and Kamen Rider so y'know it's like keeping shoyu as "shoyu" rather than converting it to "soy sauce" because it's part of the local repertoire). Unfortunately, KIKU dropped the show at the end of 2001, though the show itself continued til like '07 or '08 when the guy who did the comics died.  I love this show, it's fantastic. It's rude, it's nasty, it's foul, it's raunchy, but never excessive (something that went straight the gently caress over the heads of the assholes who did the Adult Swim run). Crayon Shinchan's sole purpose in life is to be a precocious brat, and this is executed fantastically. Sadly, I've only got like two of KIKU's episodes on the oldest, rattiest VHSes ever. You gotta wrangle with the highest-quality top-of-the-line industrial VHS players just to get them to play, and then you gotta gently caress with the tracking a lot. Some guy was actually uploading a bunch of these subbed ones to Yahoo Video or someshit--MSN video? I can't remember--but I can't find them at all. Shame, too, they're all as bad and glorious as I remember. This poo poo ain't rose-tinted glasses, it's actually a legitimately entertaining show. I dunno if this is  or what but if you guys take the time to look I know I've seen a torrent with like ten three-part episodes floating around the net in my constant search for more leftover uploaded bits of this relic. KIKU Crayon Shinchan is my loving holy grail.Oh man I keep editing this post but you know what else I love? The Fantastic Motherfuckin' Adventures of Unico  I love this movie. I am entertained by it much, much more than a jaded alcoholic mid-twenty-something  should be. It's probably still on YouTube, I think. It wasn't part of my childhood; poo poo, internet's the first place I watched it, haha.Oh that and of course The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach  which is also on the YouTube but doesn't come with dubs or subs. However, it seems to be targeted toward a very young audience, so I mean we all goons here, most of us took as many years of Japanese as we could in high school, you can actually coast by on that alone and know pretty well what they're saying. Shoot, I love a lot of really juvenile cartoon stuff, haha. The White Dragon fucked around with this message at Jun 24, 2012 around 07:20 |

Does anyone remember Twice Upon a Time ? It took me until quite a few years ago to actually remember the name. I did, however, remember the exquisite style it was done in, I believe it was an industry first, but didn't receive a lot of recognition. It's so weird because I couldn't remember the story or the name at all, just the style it was done in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmcX_OX1VzA It was one of the more beautifully done films from my childhood. fakebaconandeggs fucked around with this message at Jun 24, 2012 around 07:53 |

Ha, holy poo poo. I must have watched that show as a kid but completely forgotten it, because I nostalgia'd hard when I heard that goofy theme song. Love all the cheesy '80s explosions going on for no reason throughout the intro. Here's one I used to watch that doesn't seem to come up much these days: Two Stupid Dogs. They were kind of the predecessor of all the "What a Cartoon" stuff that evolved into Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, and Johnny Bravo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf4SCB9fG1g

When I was anywhere from 8-9 my family would rent Anime VHS's from Rogers Video periodically. There were NO rating standards in-store and the employees didn't give a poo poo about what kids decided to rent out so me and my sisters found ourselves going through Akira on 2 separate occasions as well as some CRAZY ultraviolent poo poo like Armitage (fairly sure that was the name, it was about a robot prostitute/murderer anyway) At some point we rented Final Fantasy: Legend of The Crystals and never looked back. I have had an insane time trying to figure out what this was, because I remember parts of it really clearly but the title eluded me and my siblings seem to have forgotten about it. What I remember is a bizarre, disjointed adventure about a horrible frightening robot thing (apparently called Ra Devil) who is seeking all the crystals from FFV's universe in order to grant himself a new name that hurts your mouth to pronounce, Deathgyunos. It wasn't for kids really, but it was a cartoon so I ate that poo poo up anyway. Ra Devil was a creepy mass of organs and menace that just kind of lurked around and said terrible things. There was a humongous brain in a tank and a weird horrible ghost kid that the main character didn't get along with. At some point there was a desert, a motorcycle and a giant crab. I clearly remember one of the villain's last lines being 'I'll send you to oblivion!' or similar, and having the presumably uncomfortable explanation as to what that meant from my parents the next day. We were having pancakes. The whole thing was really cool to my simple brain and really, really weird. Not exactly a rare Estonian nightmare fest, but I had the damndest time tracking it down these last ten years. Now to play FFV to figure out what the heck it's about.

Back in the late 90's,/early 00's, the local TV stations were pretty cheap with cartoons, so we ended up getting some really badly dubbed obscure anime, like Shinzo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinzo. It was about a guy who could turn into cards and a girl who'd been kept in a statis pod or something. I distinctly an episode that was about characters having to recover their clothes from playing strip poker. and does anyone else remember http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd_in_Space ? Little green alien thingie. Other than that, it was mostly ancient 80's cartoons like Danger Mouse.

For those of you who liked The Mysterious Cities Of Gold, a French studio is doing a brand-new reboot of the series, staying fairly true to the original character designs--and oh, hey, a trailer. (Links are in French, but there are pictures.) My own personal chunk of forgotten animated fuckery is a 1975 Hungarian animated movie called Hugo The Hippo. As a child I taped it off the television in the early eighties; I then watched it, religiously, every day, for something like a year and a half. My poor mother, jeez. A couple of months ago I discovered large chunks of it on YouTube and... holy crap, what was I watching? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r90kyE79qus

It tells the story that some book worm character is the reason Colombus travels to the new world.

This movie should stay forgotten. I've rewatched it recently too so it's still fresh in my mind. This is the Atari ET or Superman 64 of animated movies. It's is arguibly worse than any of those animated mockbusters including both Animated Titanics. It is a chore to watch, has zero good moments, and it's humor makes you want to turn it off and destroy your VCR. You'd actually get more enjoyment out of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III than Rover Dangerfield.

Some of you Eurogoons might have heard of or even seen this movie, but it has pretty much fallen into obscurity even in Scandinavia. It's the 1981 Swedish movie Peter No-Tail. It's a charming story about a cat who moves into a new town with his family and gets ridiculed for having been born without a tail by the local alley cats. Peter's rival in love and popularity is a tall, incredibly smarmy cat named Måns who has the longest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlHOH1z5f2g&t=4m05s Edmyn fucked around with this message at Jun 24, 2012 around 10:08 |

Face Like a Frog http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOptGLEOsJ8 This one is a classic psychedelic-style short with a rather unique vibe, definitely worth a watch. Bots Master Intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLKYOSiW7U4 I never saw the show, but the intro looks pretty crazy. Does anyone know if it was standard practice to farm out opening videos for this type of series to a more sophisticated animation studio or did they just let the animators let loose a bit? De Nomolos posted:Anyway, we also watched this live action/cartoon show called McGee and Me, about this kid that drew a cartoon character that came to life and taught him all sorts of lessons about cheating, lying, manners, etc. The kid would get into trouble or something and McGee the cartoon would act out scenes of what he should have done and talk about what the Bible says about it. Nothing controversial, mostly just "God says don't lie, so don't lie." McGee and Me accounted for a far greater portion of my childhood television watching than I am comfortable with. I still have vivid memories of the little animated sequences, the kid sneaking out to see some horror movie, and some kind of sadistic game show that spoofed double dare. I remember it having that 80s supernatural feel that Donnie Darko capitalized on/parodied 15 years later. edit: the 2nd clip on your link is definitely one of the more memorable of the cartoons and typifies the style very well: "The lizard of ooze!"

The Nightmare King was terrifying for a young kid! Even today, the animation stands up well and has a Ghibli quality. It's just an absolutely all-around gorgeous movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbPJmxIQqKc While I love the film that was eventually made, it always makes me a bit sad imagining just how incredible it could have been. Edmyn posted:Some of you Eurogoons might have heard of or even seen this movie, but it has pretty much fallen into obscurity even in Scandinavia. It's the 1981 Swedish movie Peter No-Tail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSe80T7-yLI#t=402s I'm always surprised by how many really awesome (or truly putrid) cartoons I'm not familiar with though. I had never heard of Gideon, but it looks like an entertaining show. An ugly duckling just constantly being insulted and harassed by other animals, for no reason whatsoever? Count me in! For enlightening me about it I shall shed light on something terrible, which ranks among the worst animated films I've ever seen (believe me that's saying something), Adventures of the Polar Cubs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8BrHEg8Gsw#t=2848s Every aspect of this cartoon is wretched, from the constantly repeated low-budget animation to its mind-bogglingly terrible voice acting which multiplies the effect of its nonsensical localization and plot. But wait, there's songs! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EQrD6sWH4E I hope you like this one in particular, as it's repeated several times throughout the film. I sometimes contemplate giving the VHS of this to children of people I truly despise, in the hope that they'll like it and force their parents to watch it over and over again. Fortunately I'm not evil (neutral good apparently), but it might be fun to make a riff-track of it. As for good stuff that hasn't been brought up, there's a lot of it. Dreamstone (which I just noticed has been brought up as I preview this, darn!) is pretty great, though mostly for its soundtrack and villains. In fact, specifically for the two put together! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftPdqLpslNY Another few excellent ones are the Russian Nu Pogodi and Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. I remember it being about impossible to find a copy of Winnie (translated or not) back in the day, but now it seems pretty popular: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqdiEUp6s4E I really like the style and character designs of it compared to Disney's version, though they're both great. Ack, sorry about all the videos, but I'm always stricken by the fact that it's so easy to watch this stuff now. The good ol' days of crawling through IRC bot lists trying to find some terrible cartoon that a friend remembered is thankfully a thing of the past. Now everyone can see Jamie and the Magic Torch or James the Cat with a simple click, and that's just the J's!

Read the thread, couldn't find any mention of a Saturday morning cartoon that's been bugging me for a while: - Generic "Voltron/Power rangers type adventuring superheroes in space" cartoon, typical low-budget 80s/early 90s American animation. - A team of 4: A girl who owned the spaceship that was the team's home base, a posh blonde guy, a cowboy wannabe, and a regular brown-haired leader guy. One of their names was Rafe or something. I think the girl's name was April. - Each of the guys had a vehicle: The leader (Red) had a SPACE CAR, the cowboy guy (Blue) had a SPACE HOVERCRAFT, the posh guy (Black) had a SPACE HORSE (no really, it was a robot steed that could fly and shoot lasers). - The space ship could transform into a robot form, which happened at the end of most episodes after a protracted, repetitive transformation sequence (like how Power Rangers always showed the same stock clip of all the zords being summoned/combining every goddamn episode). Any help?

Shameful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk_Yfwllgbg And right around the time of ProStars, there were a couple of Saturday Morning cartoons based on the egos of Hollywood stars: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKER1ZthFxM Wishkid (which I can't find in English), starring Macaulay Culkin, not long before NBC dropped out of Saturday Morning animation for the next decade, in the early '90s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe1PkOUihBQ Little Rosey, by - you guessed it - Roseanne Barr, with the theme song performed by Ronnie Spector. Roseanne didn't actually voice her character, but would have if the cartoon had survived. I've posted about these before, I think  Bonus: local children's programming (though not animated), in the northeast Ohio area http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if-IGuIOxUU Hickory Hideout, of which I think I've seen a total of less than ten minutes over its ten-year run [WKYC] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZBqrPznrFM The tear-jerking final minute of Barnaby [WUAB]
