Cartoons

[chrismitchell]

I thought that I would start a Thread devoted to those cartoons that have entered the Archives and not been heard from for so long...

The Ninja Turtles have been discussed recently.

But what about those cartoons that are long forgotten:

Jace and the Wheeled Warriors
The Lost Cities of Gold
Dogtanian
Thundercats

To name but a few, can anyone think of any others that should be put into the Cartoon hall of fame!

Ulysses (in the 31st Century?)
now thats a blast from the past!

[Arbiter]

You've already mentioned the three that I miss;

Jayce and the wheeled warriors
Lost cities of gold
Ulysses

I also want The Dreamstone series repeated. Those incredibly stupid bad guys with the insane plots to get the dreamstone (the ones with atrocious Birmingham accents) made me wet myself every time!

I'm going to have a look and see if I can find them on DVD or something...

wow, somebody else remembers Ulysses..!

Mysterious Cities of Gold was top too.

I remember watching these on a black and white TV. thats how long ago it all was.

[Arbiter]

Behemoth,

That could quite easily have been last week. Your family's hardly at the cutting edge of technology....

[alex_read]

Thundercats weren't bad, but :
* He-Man
* Transformers
* Garfield

are the best, sorry :p

[chrismitchell]

What about the wonderful classic MASK?

Now that was a cartoon.

I really wish that they would release The Mysterious Cities of Gold on Video or DVD, but they never will.

Ulysses.... that was also a classic...

I am so glad that people remember the greats!

[barrk]

Danger Mouse!!!!!!!!!!!!! eee by 'gum he's a bad'n!

[HarryW]

SNARF!

[barrk]

Pinkie and the Brain anyone????

"So what we gonna do tongiht brain, Same thing we do everynight pinky, TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD MUWHAHAHAHAHA"

[HarryW]

B: Are you thinking what I'm thinking Pinky?

P: I think so Brain, but where are we going to get that much yoghurt at this time of night?

S: are you thinking what im thinking simon

S: YES!!! we've run outa vodka!!!!!! ARRRGGGGGHH

[Sam Finch]

I don't think I can let this conversation continue any further without mentioning SuperTed. Wherelse could you see a magic teddy bear and a spotty man chase a stereotypical cowboy, a fat bloke from romford and a homosexual skeleton. A class act all the way.

Cool superted!!! i have a video with him on! (ok now i am drunk i just addmited it!:D)

[HarryW]

Two words: Mr Ben. Oh yeah baby.

OH NO!!!!! not mr BEn!!!!!!! whos he? hehe

Im off cya all!!

[Active]

Superman,Spiderman,Batman ??
Tintin ?

[sail3005]

Yes a very bad cartoon! Bloody Awful!

[chrismitchell]

I just remembered another classic.... Dungeons and Dragons..... With Uni the Unicorn!

Dungeons and Dragons was fantastic. all wierd and dreamy. The intro with that fairground thing.

cool...

[chrismitchell]

The intro was brilliant to D&D.

I have been reminded of the Ghostbusters Cartoon......

Fantastic!

ITV cartoons were never up to the standard of BBC.
Think about it...

The Mysterious Cities of Gold
Ulysses
Dungeons & Dragons
Thundercats
Dogtanian & the 3 Muskerhounds

how about Around the World in 80 days. haha! that was just plain silly. with the French cat and the Italian mouse. :D

[chrismitchell]

I don't know, some of the cartoons on ITV are getting better.

I thought that the Cartoon "Reboot" was good though that didn't last very long.

[Jamagei]

what about trapdoor?

'There's something down there!'

hehe, i loved Jayce and the wheeled warriors, and mysterious cities of gold, and ulysses, and thundercats and superted, and bananaman, and asterix, and Dungeons and dragons, and and and there so many good cartoons, they are all sh*t and pro-learning now :(

I men they are cartoons not learning, they are fun!!!

PS i know it's not a classic (yet) but Johnny Bravo rules (oh mamma!)

I don't remember Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors...what was that all about?

Jamagei - Johnny Bravo is cult, surely. Now that's one funny cartoon!

[chrismitchell]

I suppose that you either have to have been a child who woke up at 6:30 in the morning on Sunday or just a cartoon nut to know about Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors... I believe that it was made by the same people as Ulysses, it was meant to be the follow on series.

[Jamagei]

Johnny Bravo is Cult, but it isn't really classic, not yet, they are still showing it :)

I was definately a up at 6:30 on a sunday morning kid, oh yeah.

[chrismitchell]

I was also a child who would get up at 5 / 6 am to watch cartoons. Then I got into watching Anime too, though that was after watching Akira on Ch4 about 8 years ago.

Johnny Bravo is good, so is Ed, Edd and Eddy (if you have Cartoon Network you will know what I am talking about... Or visit www.cartoonnetwork.co.uk and look under Ed, Edd and Eddy.)

[parksie]

Watched the one with the perfume in syringes a few weeks ago :)

[Jeff_1]

Thundercats was cool...so was voltron..( yes i am old enough too remember voltron ) also tom and jerry was very funny.

[crptcblade]

I used to watch Voltron all the time!! :D That was the greatest show ever!! But, like with everything, they went and trashed the legacy with a crappy CGI version...

[Jeff_1]

That's all the power rangers were..a newer version of voltron... ;)

[Jamagei]

yeah, Anime and Manga are really, cool. I love Akira and i know some people don't like it, but i think Devilman is really cool. Then you got 3x3 eyes, which was cool, and the four dragons (or four kings). I love it

Power Rangers SUCKED!!

[crptcblade]

DragonBall Z is my current fav :D

[zmerlinz]

does anyone remeber the visionaries, i remember Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors that rocked, and i have the theme tune to mysterious cities of gold on my computer i wish that they would release that on vhs or dvd for more Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors fun goto http://www.net1plus.com/users/pecarl/pride/

[Jeff_1]

I didnt mean for anyone to think that i like the power rangers..i was just mentioning that the power rangers and voltron were the same idea..except that the power rangers suck monkey nipples..

[Jamagei]

Yeah yeah, we all know about your secret yearning to become the pink power ranger. :D

[chrismitchell]

I am amazed how the conversation started on Cartoons and then somehow made a jump to the Chinese Water Torture of TV : The Power Rangers!

[Geoff Gunson]

How about

Jamie, Jamie and the magic torch.

That was cool, he could just shine a torch on the bedroom floor and a slide would appear, awsome.


Not a cartoon but Street Hawk was my childhood favourite show, jumping out of those sliding doors then hitting the Turbo boost button. Brilliant.

Also Batfynk... my wings are like a shield of steel.

G:)

[chrismitchell]

I think that it is time to create a list of the top 10 cartoons...

I personally think that it should start like this:

1. Lost Cities Of Gold

What should be 2?

P.S thanks to James for the :) Comic Relief Smiley!

[Jamagei]

Pinky and the Brain?
or Thundercats

[chrismitchell]

What as number 2?

I was thinking of something that was more of a classic!

My votes goes with Ulysses or Dungeons & Dragons.

[Jamagei]

*slaps head* D'oh sorry guys. Of course... I second Dungeons and Dragons :)

Did any of these cartoons actually have an ending or did they just stop?

have a look at

http://www.ensell.fsnet.co.uk/tvindex.html

under cartoons. a little more information for you there (and a bonus)

[chrismitchell]

Well Dungeons and Dragons will have to go in at 2...

Ulysses will have to go in 3..

So far:

1. Lost Cities of Gold
2. Dungeons and Dragons
3. Ulysses

Dungeons and Dragons did have an ending but it was never aired.

[Ianpbaker]

anyone remember centurians. Those three guys that got into their suits to make them fly and go under water.

[Jamagei]

B*stards. I would love to have seen that.

Do they ever show these cartoons anywhere, like Cartoon network or stuff?

oooh, what about that cartoon with those three blokes who had those suits that you could fit back packs and scuba gear and guns to and stuff. what was that called? the green blue and red(?) blokes.

[Ianpbaker]

that was centurians :)

[Jamagei]

i thought it was centurians but wasn't sure, and i must have been posting while you were :)

i thought that was a cool cartoon :)

Chris. Its Mysterious Cities of Gold, not Lost Cities.

I'm not trying to be pedantic, but the final list has to be accurate.

http://www.theodyssey.free-online.co.uk/

[chrismitchell]

Many apologies Behemoth:

1. Mysterious Cities of Gold
2. Dungeons and Dragons
3. Ulysses

Does anyone know the name of the cartoon that had the 3 people with TV's for heads?

[Jamagei]

He might have been getting it confused with another cartoon, that was something like the lost city under the sea or something along those lines

[zmerlinz]

i have found a website that has all of the mysterious cities of gold episodes on his computer http://members.aol.com/joker0102/ they look good, but his server isn't always on :)

Fantastic!!!!

I am going to go there on Sunday and download one!

[Jeff_1]

:rolleyes: of course..

My secret want to become the pink power ranger goes right along with your lust to become the purple teletubbie right jamagei? :rolleyes: ;) :eek:


Anyone remember the cartoon called "go-bots"? it was similar to transformers..but different in ways..

[Gaffer]

*sigh

The Banana Bunch


The rest fade by comparison

[barrk]

I'm seriously worried about you now Gaffer....how much longer until you get to go home????

[zmerlinz]

i just downloaded an episode of mysterious cities of gold, ahh the memories that it brings back, i still love that program :)

[HarryW]

What do you mean Jeff, Jamagei is the purple teletubbie, or at least you'd think so on first glance ;)

Another good cartoon site (for UK cartoons mainly) is www.sausagenet.co.uk

[Jamagei]

*Cartman voice* Hey!! you tree-hugging-hippy!

I am not that camp!!! and it's not a womans handbag, its a very fashionable French men's purse. (i have, much to my sorrow, seen the teletubbies, and the big purple one is GAY!!!

[Lemon Lime]

on the cartoon network there are three little super heros called THE POWER PUFF GIRLS!!!
they are the funniest cartoon on TV!
as i see it, if someone want to talk about calssics, there are the transformers!
they were the coolest on TV!
if someone has mpeg files, and can send them to me, ill be thankfull!

[zmerlinz]

i now know why the BBC wont release mysterious cities of gold on video or DVD this is because Nicklodoen have got there grubby little mits on it, but at least we can download them.

[zmerlinz]

Hamm the Pig is from Toy Story... The line is from Toy Story 2.

I thought that it was funny.

Many apologies Jamagei,

list so far:

1. Mysterious Cities of Gold
2. Dungeons and Dragons
3. Ulysses
4. Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors
5. Thundercats
6. Transformers
7. MASK
8. He-Man
9. Dangermouse

[Jamagei]

WooHoo :)

number 4 :) i knew something looked a little funny.

number 10, pinky and the brain or Johnny bravo i reckon :)

[chrismitchell]

I think that number 10 should be a more group decision... Also I have noticed that the list is primarily male oriented cartoons.....

I think that we should have some female input to this list....

[alex_read]

What would you suggest ?
Powerpuff girls can be alright sometimes, but not compared to Johnny Bravo. She-Ra, Barbie, there isn't many I can think of...

[chrismitchell]

Well things like Care Bares, though that might be spelt wrong, and Sylvanian Families.....

They were both on Nickelodian many years ago!

[Jamagei]

Good poin. However, no offense to the ladies but cartoons are generally geared towards males. and also this is a mainly male populated site, so the concenus is going to be for a male cartoon. if you stuck a female cartoon in there then the males would think that you were mad.

[Neil Morris]

Anyone remember Captain Planet????

heres an idea, when you have 10 cartoons, post a poll where people vote for their favourite. this will produce an ordered list, rather than worry about placing them from 1- 10

Defenders of the Earth!?

[chrismitchell]

That is a good idea.. Only one more to go then the poll will go up! It will have to be a poll in about 10 stages unless there is a way of making people choose the 1-10 cartoons.....

Any ideas?

[alex_read]

Uh, I'm sorry guys, but I've just thought of TDB of a cartoon :

Chanel 4 used to show Super Dave with the Chinease sidekick - hillarious stuff & the all time best cartoon ever.

Also, aren't you forgetting Tom & Jetrry ?

no, people only get to choose 1. their favourite. eventually, with enough votes, the poll itself will order them.

Too late simon... Sorry mate...

Please go and vote though.. I think that this thread should be kept going during the voting as well!

[Ishamel]

Here's a couple of golden oldies that I don't think have been mentioned yet.

Battle of the Planets (The one with the flying R2D2 robot & the ship that turned into a flaming pheonix)

&

Willo the Wisp (...was anyone else scared of that evil looking TV thing??)

:)

[chrismitchell]

There are just too many!

[nievesj]

Im 23 and when i have time i watch cartoon network :D

My favorites, DBZ, Gundam wing, Outlaw Star and Sailor Moon, hehehe
I guess i never grew up...

[HarryW]

When are these things on? I have Cartoon Network this month (sample channel) but I hardly watch TV so I never know what's getting shown.

[nievesj]

Well, those that i said start at 4:00pm East coast time i think, not sure since here in PR we dont do the daylight time change, so i never keep up.
