Your favorite childhood cartoon

[Citizen Erased]

Thinking back about 10 - 15 years, I remembered that there was soo many kick ass cartoons on TV, and to think we got all that on free to air TV. There's proberly too many good shows to recall but my personal fav would have to be Duck Tales. One you hear that openig theme song, it stays in your head for weeks.

Let the nostalgia begin...

[Emilbus]

Banana Man!!

[AranchineD]

Rocko's Modern Life

/thread

[Vindik8or]

Count Duckula, Danger Mouse, Lucky Luke, Inspector Gadget, Superted, aaaand in later years Gargoyles.

[Jay]

I go back a bit further than most of you, so for me it's Milton the Monster and Fearless Fly, with a healthy shout out to Rocky and Bullwinkle and The Flintstones.

Pretty much everything that has been posted, although I'd like to add:

Samurai Pizza Cats

Super Ted

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Thomas the Tank Engine (thats going back 18 years)

[Clockw0rk]

I was a massive fan of Transformers and Speed Racer when I was little.

[quantum]

most of the aforementioned cartoons like:
transformers G1
teenage mutant ninja turtles
samurai pizza cats (cant believe i forgot that one)
all of the dragonball series
teknoman

[texta]

I quite liked Captain Planet.

[super_deformed]

Battle of the Planets a.k.a Science Ninja Team Gatchaman
Transformers G1 (Pretty much the first season only. Then I lost interest)
Astroboy (80s)

And live action stuff like...

MONKEY!!

[AranchineD]

Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons

[StorminNorman]

These don't necessarily represent my favourites, but I thought I'd post this anyway.

The one with the monsters?, i loved that show :D That and ren and stimpy has already been mentioned.

[TrinityJayOne]

Animals of Farthing Wood was epic, the series went for freakin' months on ABC. Was a massive fan of Inspector Gadget, Tintin and Thomas the Tank Engine.

One of my fondest cartoon memories was a movie my mum hired out once that told the story of a young race driver trying to win a huge endurance event. It was quite possibly anime, and very similar to Speed Racer only more realistic. For example the main character was shown using heel & toe on gear shifts, and in one scene a character appeared in a new (at the time) Ferrari and a young car whiz proceeded to run off a list of technical specs. All I know is that it was quite old (80s if I had to guess), no idea what it was called or the names of any characters. :(

[Halt, Hammerzeit]

Ah! Real Monsters and Angry Beavers for me.

[AranchineD]

That Trapdoor show.

BURKE! FEED ME!

[Citizen Erased]

Ohhh shit, Babar. That was the best damn show, although the ageless, human nanny/maid alongside the sentient elephants/rhinos was of some concern.

[Citizen Erased]

Beetle Juice the animated series


I remember that show, t'was awesome.

[Second]

I actually have the entire series of Samurai Pizza Cats on a hard drive somewhere around here.

It's completely awesome, and a rare case of a Macekre (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Macekre) that's better than the original show.

M-M-M-M-MASK!

You guys sicken me.

Oh and apart from this for me, just about every other cartoon in the thread. Has Conan the barbarian been mentioned? Another early morning classic.

[Jickle]

I was really into Ren & Stimpy from the age of six. I still am, really, although now I pick up on a lot of stuff I didn't back then. :D

I was also very much into Rocko's Modern Life, Arrrgghhh! Real Monsters!, Pokemon (I was about 10 when it hit), and, going back a bit further, TMNT and Thomas the Tank Engine (not really a cartoon, but w/e).

These days, my four yrar old sister watches a lot of Dora the Explorer (which is a surprisingly great show for little kids, considering it's clearly aimed at kids living in areas where a lot of people speak Spanish) and a lot of other shit I can't get into. And The Simpsons, of course.

[FrozenSoul80]

How the hell did you guys manage to watch Ren and Stimpy at such a young age? It used to freak the **** out of me when I was a kid.

I realise now that it is genius, but when I was a kid those super-detailed pictures scared me.

[Citizen Erased]

I always remember those crappy safety messages at the of episode.

[StorminNorman]

M-M-M-M-MASK!

It was the first one in the first video I posted on the first page of this thread!

Fun fact: My Grade 4 teacher nicked my MASK motorbike and gave it to her son. :(

I was probably 12 or 13 when it was airing.

Samurai Pizza Cats is a Woolseyism (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Woolseyism) or Gag Dub (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GagDub), not a Macekre.

This is what should end the thread, though.

I credit Ren & Stimpy for my broad sense of humour. The first episode I ever saw was 'Visit to Anthonys' the one where they visited a fan's house, and the kid was horrified to find out that they went to the toilet despite being cartoon characters. It ended with a tense standoff as the father accused the two of injuring his son (Victor the Bully had come by earlier on and beat the shit out of him) which ended in Stimpy vomitting up a hairball. My father and I were absolutely in stitches over it. 15 years later I still think it's hilarious.

You're 8 years old, it's 11.30pm and you are kinda tired, but you really want to see this Ren and Stimpy episode. The episode is funny, even if most of the jokes are going over your head, when suddenly:

I have to admit, Jerry the Bellybutton Elf scared the shit out of me. Did you ever see that one? Stimpy gets addicted to playing with his bellybutton, and eventually gets pulled inside it to meet the titular elf. Stimpy essentially becomes Jerry's slave, but after messing up his dinner, Jerry turns into a giant monster, pulls Ren inside and eats them both.

Watching it now, I can see that the episode is actually an allegory for drug addiction. Back then it was just ****ing terrifying. :p

[Citizen Erased]

Beast Wars

Now thats was how you do 3d transformers tv series.

Oh slag.

[Citizen Erased]

Seeing that G.I.JOEis getting the live action treatment, what other retro cartoons/toy line would make a good live action film ?

I say Captain Planet, would fit in nicely with all the envriomental talk going around.

My fave was Transformers

Tekno man or Tekkaman?

As far as I know the original Japanese version was never screen in Australia.

[nintendo]

I thought Techno man and Tekkaman were the same thing to be honest. I know Tekkaman Blade was the 2nd series or something though.

[kirok]

Nothing quite beats the original inspector gadgets or the original ninja turtles but I suppose I will write a list as there is no one favorite cartoon I could say without not wanting to mention another.

10 : Inspector Gadget
9 : Teenage mutant ninja turtles
8 : Transformers
7 : X-Men
6 : Spider Man
5 : Sailor Moon
4 : Earth worm Jim
3 : Dragonball GT
2 : Pokemon
1 : DragonballZ

[Queenie]

everything that's been mentioned, also

there was also one that may have been mentioned (bumpety boo?) it was about "things that go bump in the night" or something or other. It was a 90's show.

Not a film. A new season. Probably going to be cel-shaded, seeing as it's a France-Japan co-production.

Tekkaman Blade became Teknoman for Western audiences, both seasons were translated and brought across, and they were shown in Australia before the USA.
