Well, I was at my cousin's place last Sunday and was babysitting my nieces and nephews. Watching those cartoons on Cartoon Network like Cow and Chicken, and SpongeBob Square Pants makes me reminiscence back the old cartoons that I use to watch when I was a kid.

So, can fellow 80s cartoon fans please come on in and talk about your favourite 80s cartoon? (or early-mid 90s also can)

Here's some of my favourites 80s cartoons:

Thundercats : Love the theme song!


Dungeons and Dragons : Archers ftw


Dino-Riders


Jem : *snorts* This is one of the few girl-theme cartoons that I like.


Snorks : The under-rated one but dang! I love the theme songs so much!


Duck Tales : I used to drive my dad nuts when I kept singing "Duck Tales! Whooo Whooo!"


Of course, there are alot others that I might be missing out. Share your fav here!

i tried to watch Thundercats again and it's just not the same no more. Cheetara sounded like a man..

Batman The Animated Series. now that one's a keeper..

Cheetara sounded like a man? I thought it sounded husky-ish. Have to rewatch it again.

Whatever is it, the old cartoons are way way way way better than the new ones being shown on Cartoon Network. Male 'cows' with lactating udders doesn't make any sense.

Anyway, I'll post more clips later. Now finding the old cartoons and favouriting them

i totally agree. that Cow & Chicken drives me crazy!
spongebob ok la. once a week. and powerpuff girls. the others cannot tahan edi.

it'll be interesting if they can make a Thundercat CG movie though. like Beowulf. it could be good.

ok here's my list of favorite 80s-90s cartoon

Wacky Races (My Favorite)
Looney Toons (Road Runner & Coyote is my fav series)
flinstones
jetsons
transformers
pinky and the brain
the simpsons (thank god its still going on)
scooby doo and mystery machine
the archies (comic only)
any William Hanna & Joseph barbera cartoon
[edited] tom & jerry. almost forget this super awesome cartoon. (only like the Fred Quimby/ Hanna & barbera version)
Ren & Stimpy (good nicklodeon cartoon that is banned in malaysia i think cause of violence)


PS: u guys gonna shoot me, Cartoon network production suck monkey balls (cow and chicken etc). No offense but these cartoons have no moral values whatsoever. Compare 70s-80s- early 90s cartoon and todays cartoon, u'll see what i mean.

Not just 80s and 90s la, it even started waay back since the late 60s and early 70s

Here's some superheroes that are making a comeback in the silver screens!

Superfriends (1976)


X-Men


Fantastic Four (1969)


Spiderman and his Amazing Friends

Still have no idea what is this cute little blue creature is. Blue Ant?

SMURFS

I like the old Transformers...

Eh? The old X-Men cartoon was from the late 70s? I thought it was the 80s! But I love the old series. The new X-Men cartoons look so... cartoonish - waspish waist, weird proportions and styles. The old X-Men ftw! Heck, even Jubilee looks awesome!

astro still showing it on channel 611. Must press the i-ii button for the original english though.

Adding in some of the other cartoons:

Voltron : I only had the red lion model, the others been 'destroyed' by my brother



Robotech : Another of my fav


My Little Pony


Shall be adding more later.

I really miss all those old mecha cartoons...

30 minutes of 80s cartoon intro.


30 minutes of 90s cartoon intro.

Wow, I remember most. Although admittingly I was very scared Thundercats and Silverhawks

Care Bears... I wish it would come back. There's new version of the show showing in the US. I used to be scared of the show until I saw the third movie. Now I gila Care Bears (which I sometimes think is a curse because these little critters are hard to find here)

My Little Pony... I still remember my crush on Megan

Jem... Cannot forget. My sis big fan of that show... Act out scenes of the show using her Barbie dolls

Mask... I remember that. I actually like that.

Accessing personal bubble memories cube...

I remember (apart from those already mentioned):
80s:
Amigo and Friends
Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers
Garfield and Friends
Berenstain Bears
Super Mario Brothers Super Show
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the original!)
Teddy Ruxpin
Captain N

90s:
Tiny Toon Adventures
Tale Spin
RugRatS
Arthur
Madeline
My Little Pony Tales
Touch of Blue In The Stars
Cro

You know, Jem was quite an adult-oriented cartoon back during the time it was aired. If you guys noticed, most of the cartoons are quite well... 'cartoonish', if you get what I mean. (In terms of physical appearance)

Anyway, after watching the Snorks intro on YouTube, I've been humming the song for the whole day The curse of the tune-that-keeps-replaying day...

i still have my RHINO and SWITCHBLADE. Now, i need to hunt for THUNDERHAWK. I wonder if the fella still keeps it.

eh, how can you miss Centurions : Power Xtreme! one of the most well done cartoon series, superb animation and action packed with damn nice gears!



and then there's STARCOM!



ahh, I don't have Starmax Bomber, but I do have StarWolf and Shadow Vampire and a bunch of others........

CAPTAIN POWER



This post has been edited by incognito: May 8 2008, 10:31 AM

ehh Captain Power was HOT that time. nowadays i look at it.........arggh ridiculous. who da heck would wear shiny metallic armor for warefare la? it's no better than marking yourself with a huge RED X and say HIT ME!

nevertheless the CG was stunning for it's time. they even had the system where you can interact with the TV.

Did anyone mention Scooby-Doo?

donno. not a fan of scooby. don't find it interesting either.

how abt inspector gadget?

there's the toy some more, those planes will be on the ring.

This post has been edited by goldfries: May 8 2008, 01:50 PM

Oh my god!!! Saber Riders, He-Man, Captain Power, G.I Joe...this thing got you a spank from momma if you lay with it to long . Hahahaha. Good old days. Hey, is it just me or there is no body talking about ninja turtle. Cowwabangga!!!

No i didn't miss it. It was in the 30 mins of 90's intro right? Just wanted to highlight it.

Remember the puppet sitcom "Dinosaurs"?

Damn, i missed that show soo much.

Visionaries was kinda cool but too bad it only lasted one season (if I'm not mistaken). Several months back, I was floating around the internet Googling for 'knights, animals, magic, etc' and voila~ I've finally found Visionaries.

Talking about He-Man, my favourite character in the show was the Sorceress. Dang cool looking feathered headgear Did you guys saw the modern reincarnation of He-Man?

then there was that show called centurions......

mentioned on page 2. with video too.

tv2 showing Voltron: Defender of the universe
every sunday @ 5.30pm

at last!!!
i love starcom so darn much...
even had d magnetic toys bought @ dayabumi for RM9.90!!!!

Whats up with 'i know more than you' things going on here

Anyway theres so many i watch back then,mostly already mention...looney toons,teenage mutant ninja turtles,pinky & the brain,ren & stimpy and the list goes on.

Im born is 1988, so good chance that i have missed most of the 80'cartoon...but in the 90's i watched Reboot, Beast Wars, Extreme Ghostbusters(cool), The Mask(cartoon)

didn't find Beast Wars to be nice. 3d 3d.......

Extreme Ghostbusters, AFAIK quite nice but it was late 90s, no?

i posted it somewhere, yea i got the show, rewatching it is fine but not MASK, the animation is really horrible n i cant find myself wathiing it after 2-3 eps only . not to mention Mospeda n Super Dimension Fortress Macross (aka Robotech). n dun PM me for the show.

final part, yea i like this one the most XD

opsie forgot bout this one

ah.. all the lovely cartoons. really bring back alot of memories. love most the cartoons in the 80s and 90s. i wonder how come nowdays the cartoon not up to par.

nowadays, they have the technology but generally fail the content.

I personally loved Visionaries back then. Too bad they only have like.. what? 13 episodes?

*sighs*

Extreme Ghostbusters wasn't as nice as the classic one. Only Egon was left and he didn't really do much except make new gadgets, and the new ghostbusters were noisy street kids or hippies...

I agree with you that recent cartoons have the technology yet the content isn't any better, if not worse. Take Batman for example, the 90s Batman: Animated series and the subsequent Batman and Robin follows the dark gothic feel of the comic, yet the most recent "The Batman" is so cheesy that it's not funny at all.

Here's my fav.


Transformers G1 Season 1 - 3 (not some Ginrai godmaster crap, i dont even consider that G1)


The Real Ghostbusters


Extreme Ghostbusters (I can still remember the Extreme theme song)

Added on May 27, 2008, 9:36 pm
Darkwing Duck


Mighty Ducks


SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron (this is how I got to know more about jet fighters later on)


Voltron


Looney Tunes (bugs bunny and donald duck stuff lah)


Johnny Quest


Batman (70's or 80's ?)

omg omg omg ~!!!! i love this thread... ANYONE REMEMBER THE MIGHTY ORBOTS?

Orbots? LOL, I've totally forgotten about this until I saw the intro again. I still don't remember much but I can recognise the robot who chews on stuff.

Aiii.. I usd to love Saber Rider. So freaking cool to see him riding his robotic horse. Nowadays kids only get to watch crappy cartoon like Spongebob or lactating male lembu.... very disturbing.

This post has been edited by chibi_tenko: May 5 2009, 02:39 PM

T-T gimme back me childhood..

ROFLMAO on this

Born in 1988, quite late for 80's cartoon. But Transformers and Voltron is one of my favorite form the 80's. My cousin have those on tapes (yes, tapes) so I managed to watch it. Basically I follow most of the cartoons from 90s by sitting in front of the idiot box (no internet that time) during the weekend mornings and watch it from morning till noon.

Sadly, those i remember and still like it fondly now is actually not cartoon (except for Transformers which I have to whole collection of G1 and G2 and the movie), it's Power Rangers, Masked Rider (or better know as Black Fertilizer Baja Hitam ) and Ultraman. The Disney, Looney Toon, Tom and Jerry is good for entertainment values though

got one cartoon that got 7 kids use ring to summon the super hero, what was that again?

Captain Planet was summoned by kids with rings but there's only 5 of them, if I'm not mistaken. Is there another cartoon where characters uses rings to summon something?

7 or 5? watever

u got the name d. thx

Should be Captain Planet,i think.

One of the most lol heroes i ever know.He's afraid of pollution.

Not forgetting this - Denver the Last Dinosaur! Catchy theme song. Used to catch it on TV3 everyday around 4pm when I came back from primary school last time.

80's cartoon rocks.
Nowadays cartoons are kinda gay

Captain Future.
Back in the early 80s, the voices were in Malay




'The Bots Master'
Cool song
