80s Cartoons
« on: August 10, 2004, 05:04:22 am »
Came across this site:

http://www.80scartoons.co.uk/

Its worth visiting just to here those theme tunes again.

A walk down nostalgia lane for those who are interested...

I heard the Thundercats Bloopers recording off that site. Hilarious!

DARN SKIPPY!!!

And besides, the chick in Princess that piloted Blue Lion was me and my little brother's introduction to anime girls. ;D

Mind you, I like the real ones better, but I think that it's cool to sometimes escape to a world where the women actually LISTEN!!! ;)

ROFL... Yeah. I was like, 8-10 years old and my Mom ran over and cut the TV off!!!

"They shouldn't put that filthy stuff in a cartoon!"

Even back then I couldn't help but think "But Betty Boop walks around in her underware."

I gotta findme some episdes of that Voltron somewhere. I'm getting all nostalgic.

And has anyone seen the new Optimus Prime that they put out. He's identical to the old original one save 2 details:

1.) this one is 2 feet tall.

2.) this one is $60.00.

My original was, like $10 and it was the most expensive thing I got that year.

A couple of years ago I got a lion-Voltron set for my nephew (assemble the five lions to create Voltron).  I remember when it first came out in the '80's--it was made by Matchbox I believe and cost almost $100!!  The one I got my nephew was about $20.

I'd love to see Voltron on DVD!

GAH!! Now I got the theme music for Voltron going around in my head!!

there are 3 voltron, the first i think was the car boat and plane, the 2th was a 3 robot merging together and forming a 6 arm robot (i never see this one) and the 3th is the 5 lion robot, there a kinda new voltron serie made with computer animation and it suck a lot, the story is bad and predictable and the animation is bad, the motion of the lion forming voltron is bad compare to the old cartoon.

also there one cartoon from the 80's call cadillac cat, remeber with the cute cleo the white cat girl friend of rif raf?, that was not bad, also one verry boring was fat albert, a good one was visionary but the made only 13 episode, the new he-man is cool, the is also she-ra, tmnt, connan.   thats all i remember for now  ;D

I was a Transformers kind of guy.  Here I am, almost 31 years old, I've still got some of them....LOL.  For those wondering, I've still got Optimus Prime, Bluestreak, Blaster, Jetfire, Thundercracker, Soundwave and Jazz.

Jazz was cool in both the series and the toy.  It always ticked me off how the best transformers didn't get nearly as much attention after optimus died.  BTW, Rodimus Prime sucked dung covered donkey hiney as well.
Car voltron came after lion voltron- one of the dudes from the original team- the dude who the prnicess replaced in the blue lion- was in it if i remember correctly.  Never saw the third one, or heard of it, but did see the 3d voltron with most of the original voices, but truly, it did suck.

Gundam W is pretty awesome.

Nice to know I wasn't the only Cartoon fanatic around.

Robotech was still better then Gundam W.

Star blazers is my favorite.

The original Japanese versions of Starblazers (Space Battle Ship Yamato) are the best.


What about modern cartoons? Most bite...but Yu-Gi-Oh rocks. Plus the Japanese version of Yu-Gi-Oh is intense. Parents would freak if they saw the uncut versions...
