I had fun ranking and reviewing the A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and SCREAM films. I also wanted to do another one before this but I will have to start over with that series of films. I WILL KEEP SECRET ABOUT WHAT IT IS BECAUSE SECRETS ARE FUN. At least when I am the secret holder! When it's portnoyd they are scary and annoying! Anyway we are ranking and reviewing an INCREDIBLE amount of motion pictures today. I am not doing two parts because THAT'S FOR WIMPS. SO BUCKLE YOUR SWEET ASSHOLES IN BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA BE HERE FOR A WHILE. This is IMPORTANT and SERIOUS so get yourself some WATER and CLEAN PANTS because some of these rankings may MAKE YOU POOP YOURSELF!!!
So what are we ranking today? The 1980s cartoon movie. The movie based on cartoon series I mean. You would be thinking oh, like Transformers and GI Joe? Yes. BUT THERE WERE MORE THAN THAT. You want the list! TOO BAD! READ THIS SHIT TO GET THE LIST! I'm not spoiling this shit for you baby boy! We are doing this the HARD WAY. THE ONLY WAY. THE CLAWX WAY. So you BUCKLE IN YOUR CLEAN PANTS (and take a second pair just in case!!) Oh and don't expect much boring shit like me going over how these movies were made to make money off young children like im some youtube video essayist. NEWSFLASH ASSHOLE every fucking thing you watch is made to make money! GET BENT! CAPITALISM BEAT YOUR COMMIE ASSES!
One final thing, I couldn't find RoboTech the Movie because I don't think it was even ever put on VHS. I didn't watch every compilation movie. Thundercats had two, Defenders of the Earth had one, MASK had one, I wanted this to be readable for LINCOLN BRYANT who gets tired after 6,000 words so I had to cut SOME FAT. This is just a pretty large selection of the movies that were made from 80s Cartoon Shows.
It hurts me to put this last, because I did enjoy watching this. It's just that it's just random episodes of the tv show and I just can't put that any place but last. The rest of these at least put pen or pencil to paper or used a typewriter or whatever to write a script with a beginning middle and end. It didn't even pick episodes to put together that worked at as a movie like Jem or Inhumanoids or Thundercats. No, this just picked random episodes. Sure I like the cartoon but I'm trying to think how I'd feel if I went to see this in the theatre to get like maybe 10 mintues of new footage. It's 73 minutes of reused stuff you could easily still see on TV. It's fun stuff that I enjoyed watching. I love Heathcliff's little laugh and how he will fuck literally anyone up, including his owner. Don't get in his way. He's a boss. It's just uh, it's not an actual movie so it HAS to go here, even if it was less annoying thant the Smurfs and way less boring than Liberty and the Littles. Plus it let's Portnoyd be ANTI-HEATHCLIFF like the MONSTER he is.
This was the one I was really least interested in watching. You see I call this 'forced edutainment". When I was a kid a children's station around here would should the Charlie Brown specials, all 92 trillion of them (along side the short lived two season tv show the Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show). One I remember was about World War I and II it started about the USUAL CHARLIE BROWN SHINANIGANS and then just started talking about stuff related to those wars. I know Charles Shulz fought in those wars and was probably proud of that special but man It wasn't one I liked watching. That's for sure. I'm not totally against edutainment. I'm sure I learnt things from Mr Rogers, Mr. Dressup (think Canadian Mr. Rogers) and Sesame Street. I'm just against shoving educational things into something like The Littles. The Littles was a short lived cartoon about Little elf chipmunk people living in the house of HENRY BIGG that somehow ended up with a movie and this special which was movie length and was on the ABC Weekend Special (yes that's where Capt Readmore the pirate Cat came from. I know about the recesses of your mind!). This one ends up taking place in the Statue of Liberty and some French Littles are under the FASCIST control of THE GENERAL. The Littles save the day and somehow a magician person and his crow try to destroy the Statue of Liberty but you could also take that entire segment out of this. I'm pretty sure it was there to make sure this was the length the ABC WEEKEND SPECIAL people wanted it to be. This is honestly boring despite being kinda weird at times. I also didn't really learn anything new about liberty and I doubt any child would have either which makes it kind of a failure in my eyes. Also the dad Little reminds of Mr. Kelly my hated teacher from the fifth and seventh grade (I had him for Seventh Grade twice and I'm going to tell you THE FART STORY because fuck it I don't really care and it's my shitty craphole place on the internet to post whatever the hell I want too. Anyway this was after I had stopped being friends with my SHITTY BULLY FRIEND and after I had failed the Seventh grade and I was hoping to make friends with someone new and maybe be more popular. The ENTIRE class was in the Library and well something made me blow wind. and not a small fart, like the worst damn fart I could do anyway. It was already embarrassing enough having everyone look at me and then MR KELLY comes over and literally forces me out of the door and tells me to go use the washroom. I have no idea what he expected me to do. Force out a shit? I really don't know. I'm pretty sure I did the whole walk around the school thing I would do whenever I went to use the bathroom. I did that for like years. If my class took place on the top of the building I'd walk all the way down to the bottom to use the bathroom. and Vice Versa. I didn't make friends with anyone because of what would later be known as anxiety but I still hate Mr. Kelly for that and other things. Petty yeah, but I don't give a shit. YOU BETTER COMMENT ON THE FART STORY PORTNOYD. Did you have any Teachers you hated? Did you have hall monitors in your schools? It was weird.). This is one of those weird movies that if I were to explain it all to you you'd go "wtf" but if you were to watch it you'd honestly be kind of bored and I just don't care to say any more about this movie. This is the worst paragraph I have ever written.
Dead fucking last is the Smurfs, which really is a shame because I like the Smurfs. The Smurfs are nice little creatures who just want to live life. That's it. The Smurfs really could have made a fun 1980s cartoon movie. I'm sure of it. However what we got was a 1975 film repacked in 1983. You are told the Smurfs are the main characters but that is a fucking god damned lie. The Main characters are Peewee (originally known as Peewit) and Johann (originally known as I don't give a shit) and the find a Magical Flute. Said flute is stolen by some fat asshole. Yeah the SMURFS movies big bad guy is not Gargamel but some fat asshole. He ends up teaming up with another fat asshole. Anyway the Magical flute can make people dance so the fat asshole uses it to steal stuff. Peewee and Johann meet some wizard that informs them of the Smurfs. around the 35 MINUTE MARK OF A FUCKING 73 MINUTE MOVIE. The Smurfs sing and then help to make another magical flute and then sing some more. They literally just do that. I can totally see a family going to see this and then their kids being pissed off and the family having to go to McDonalds or Toys R Us. I know I would be pissed off. The Smurfs barely do anything to help Peewee and Johann and Peewee is an annoying little shit and Johann has no fucking personality. This movie was a unwashed turd and Hanna Barbera should have been like DAMNIT PEYO THIS SHIT SUCKS LET US MAKE A MOVIE THAT ACTUALLY HAS THE SMURFS IN IT THE ENTIRE FUCKING TIME. Shit ass garbage.
Oh hey, it's The Jetsons, I'm sure portnoyd will be like THE JETSONS WAS 1960S despite the fact it had a 1980s revival which has 51 episodes (the original show only had like 24 lol) it feels like this was the sendoff to the whole thing. it was originally going to be put out in 1989 only two years after the revivals end. They ended up putting out in 1990 and THE WIZARD replaced it. The Wizard is a better movie than this. You should all know that despite having a lot of fondness and love for Hanna and Barbera and their cartoons I just never cared about the Jetsons (oir the Flintstones) and I really do not care about this movie very much. It has one scene that I like of a song being sung by Judy Jetson (played by Tiffany, yes the I THINK WERE ALONE NOW girl) and that's about it. Tiffany replacing the original actress was a big thing back then. A lot of people didn't like it. I don't blame them. She's fine when it comes to singing but as a voice actress she's kinda hot ass. This movie also has the lowest stakes of any of the movies. George Jetson is sent to a new Spacely's Sprocket plant that's being seeing trouble. Elroy uh has his baseketball team (and he has this movie called the ELROY ELEVATOR which you'd think would come back to the plot near the end) and Judy has a boy. THEY HAVE TO LEAVE THEIR HOME so George can work on the new plant. The new plant is being sabotaged by some teddy bears alien creatures and they have to find a way to work with them. They start working with Spacely (they don't show how they can work with him but not destroy their houses. I guess they ran out of time/money or just didn't care) The Jetsons then go home. That's the plot. It's very dull. This was clearly like maybe a two part episode that was drug out to 82 minutes and it SHOWS. It is not fun to watch and I'm pretty sure I only saw it once before this maybe on tv. This was not something to watch in the theatre even at 1990 prices, or even rent. It was a "yeah lets watch it on TV I guess" kinda thing. The Jetsons suck and so does this movie. Oh, it also has a weird enviromental thing. At least it feels like they were trying to go for that but someone cut a bunch of it out and it just feels off. Still I'd watch this 30 times over The Smurfs movie because at least The Jetsons are the heroes of this damn story and do more than jump around and fucking dance.
There are three things the fan bases of things have pretty much ruined for me. One is Rick and Morty. I saw a few episodes but the second I saw that video where people freaked out in a McDonalds I ran the other direction. Shame because those episodes were pretty good. (I saw a later episode and the show decided to crawl inside its own asshole and huff smugness so I don't really feel that bad that I still can't watch it). The other one is Star Wars (it doesn't help that most of the Star Wars content that isn't the original trilogy ranks from mediocre to fucking terrible but most of the fans are really terrible. The last one is My Little Pony. The first My Little Pony show I watched was the one that became INSANELY popular with dudes. I thought it was fun and cute and very entertaining. Then came the bronies and let's just say I ran the other direction and never watched another second of that version of My Little Pony. However bronies really kinda have soured all My Little Pony stuff for me. I probably should enjoy this more than I do but I just felt it was kinda boring and the only characters I liked where the Witch voiced by Cloris Leachman and the daughters voiced by Madeline Kahn and Rhea Pearlman. Also Danny DeVito and Tony Randall show up. These movies had some wild voice cast choices. I really don't know whos the craziest pick. This movie also has the WORST songs from all of them. Holy shit there's only one that sticks in my head. It's still better than the last few movies but I can't put it any higher than 2.5 stars and in 17th place! Things get much better from here though!
Babar was a 1989 animated series that ran from 1989 to like i dunno 1993? I don't care enough to look it up honestly. It was based around the books by an old dead guy. From France. It was the definition of OK. You wouldn't be sad if you missed it because you went out somewhere and you wouldn't turn off the Super Nintendo to watch it but you still ended up seeing like all of the episodes. Even the episodes from the revival series from 2000. It was inoffensive and all I really remember about it was the theme music which was pretty great. The cartoon and this movie were made by Nelvana a Canadian Animation company so Canadians voiced Babar. Gordon Pinsent was one of them. He voiced Babar! He was also born in Newfoundland. He was also in the cinematic masterpiece Blacula. This movie would probably be up higher if I watched it earlier but after watching like all of the top 10 and even the movies above this it shows that it's just at best is okay. I also remember this VHS tape becuase it was at every Video Rental Store around here. It has some pretty good animation and the plot is fine, Babar and his future wife save people from Rataxas king of the Rhinos. It's just not as memorable as pretty much any movie that comes after this one. This is the point where the movies get pretty great. I will say I like the animation it has this weird comforting vibe to it and the way they draw old elephants is pretty amazing. Who knows I might even end up watching this again. I dunno.
Go Bots are unfairly considered a Transformers ripoff. They came first. Like Heathcliff. It does not matter that Transformers beat their asses in with a better cartoon or better toys or whateer. They showed up FIRST. By like a year or so! Or at least a few months! I mean Transformers had like Marvel behind them writing the backstory and everything and Go Bots just feels like a ripoff. It's weird though. I do like the Go-Bots because well I like transforming giant robots and I don't care where they come from. From Japan or Hanna Barbera. This one has Kojak, Lois Lane and Cesar from Planet of the Apes voicing the Go-Bots. Margot Kider seems SO bored but Telly Savalas is clearly having fun. I get the feeling he had a grandchild that was into Go-Bots or something. I dunno. I'm not his biographer. This one involves the new TOYS Characters the Rock Lords. They could transform into rocks. Kinda uh, silly but they look cool so they are much better than Headmasters. I will never like the Headmasters. The EVIL Rock Lord TELLY SAVALAS wants the sceptres of the other Rock Lords so they can combine them into one GIANT EVIL SCEPTRE and LEADER 1 (what a terrible name) and CY-KILL (what a great name) try to stop him and also screw him over. It's a simple story. I just find it pretty charming. I love the designs of the Go-Bots. And the Rock Lords and all of it. I like how the "cute" Go-Bot Scooter literally looks like he's always high. At least when he's smiling. I like the look of CY-KILL and I love the look of the angry transgender Go-Bot Crasher. Seriously look at her and tell me she's not that. So yeah, This is fun stuff and I'll probably watch it again. You can sass the Go-Bots all you want but they did not get FUCKED IN THE ASS SEVERAL TIMES by MICHAEL BAY. That's pretty good you know.
Here Comes the Littles is probably the most obscure of the movies I'll be talking about today. Like It amazed me when I found out there was ONE Littles movie. When I found out a second movie I think I pooped myself a little. It was that amazing. Anyway The Littles were the stories of a group of little elf chipmunk people that would have adventures and be friend a child named Henry Bigg. Yes. That's his last name. Anyway this was the origin story for the Littles. It showed how they met Henry Bigg. This movie takes place in like one place pretty much. It takes place in AUGUSTUS BIGG's house. He has taken control of Henry's house after his parents went missing. He faked being his caretaker and faked owning his brothers house. Augustus is a gross looking old man, probably born in like 1900. He looks like someone straight out of a Charles Dickens novel which is pretty great. I also love how they make his house feel like the oldest, shittiest house they could animate. God bless the Japanese. I will kiss every Japanese person who worked on this movie. on the mouth. sexually. This is a pretty fast paced story that has a good amount of laugh out loud moments. It's a pretty fun watch and I recommend it. It's on Youtube for anyone whos interested. A vhs release and a ORIGINAL REELS SHOWN IN THEATRES version. I have seen both. Yes, I've watched Here Comes the Littles twice. I am really cool.
The last film in the Care Bears Movie trilogy. Yes, the Care Bears Movie trilogy. I will state the obvious fact that it is better than the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. Oh, what you thought the obvious fact was "THEY MADE THREE OF THEM?" Yes. Care Bears were popular as hell in the 1980s. They still are forty years later. I had tons of Care Bears from when I was a WEE LITTLE BABE that I kept for a long time. Sadly I do not have them any more. I loved the TV series, the first two movies and some other stuff. I did not like this movie the first time I saw it. I don't know why. I remember renting it because it was from a Blockbuster away from where we usually go. You remember that Calvin and Hobbes strip that is just about Calvin hoping his life stories don't become rambling messes after listening to his dad. I always think of that strip whenever I mention some dumb thing like renting this movie from a Blockbuster we didn't go to regularly. Anyway I re-watched it several times recently enough and it's a pretty enjoyable ride. They go to Wonderland but it totally feels like a different Wonderland than Disney's version. The songs are really nice and several of them are now stuck in my head. They might be there a while so I'm glad I like them. Speaking of the music Grumpy Bear raps at the end. I'm at least calling it a rap. Its close enough for me. It's the best white person rap of all time. The animation is pretty good from us BEAUTIFUL CANADIANS and the voice acting is great. I really enjoyed rewatching this one again and will probably do it again in the future because I am a cool guy.
Hey. I said I was gonna watch as many 80s cartoon movies as I could and I'm standing by that fact. Another fact is that GIRLY CARTOONS ARE FUCKING AWESOME. Rainbow Brite has a friend named Twink and that made me laugh because well I'm sure you can find out why. So what is Rainbow Brite about? It's the story of Rainbow Brite, she has awaken from her winter slumber to start up spring only to find out someone is trying to take over the crystal planet that helps change seasons (I don't know???) and she has to find out whats up with that. I also loved her friend and his robotic horse. Mostly the cool cyborg horse, her friend was kind of a whiny shit. The bad guy they have to stop, a Princess who wants to take over the crystal planet and own it ofr herself because she's a greedy bitch is fucking hilarious. She's kinda like some valley girl who's an evil princess. The bad guys from the usual show (I'm guessing, I never saw it) Murky and Lurky are a lot of fun. I really have to give it to this movie because they literally blow the bad guy the fuck up at the end. Seriously. It's kind of hilarious how hardcore Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer gets. It's a fun time from the past. It also has a VERY space anime feeling because well it was animated by Tokyo Media Shinsha I think. They worked with DIC a lot. I am too lazy to look that up for real. Anyway this is a fun movie and you get to hear the heavenly voice of Charlie Adler!
This cartoon lasted 15 episodes but you knew it was working up to be a HUGE HIT. First off done by the same people who did Transformers, GI Joe and Jem. Secondly it's about GIANT MONSTERS. The problem was some parents who brought it upon themselves to raise everyones children instead of just their own were like NO THIS CARTOON IS TOO SCARY FOR MY LITTLE BILLY and bam, it was gone. I remember bringing this up to portnoyd once and he was like THAT WASNT REAL JERK and well PORTNOYD IT IS REAL. SO YOU SHUT YER MOUTH. anyway I first heard of these guys sometime as an adult when I saw the toys and SHIT MY PANTS. Tendrill, D'Compose and Metlar are the COOLEST TOYS FROM THE 1980S. I will own them. So the movie itself is pretty awesome but the problem is the heroes might just be the most boring heroes of any 1980s cartoon, only like one of them was any fun to watch. A character named Augger or something like that who's personality trait was IM ANGRY which was really funny to me. The plot of this movie MIGHT be the craziest one. I might do a full review of this movie so I can talk about everything wild that happens in this movie. The plot starts with the Inhumanoids D'Compose and Tendrill wake up and then go off to save Metlar their boss. Metlar then wants to turn the world into a fucking shithole covered in molten lava. He steals a bunch of missiles from THE COMMIES and then the quickest OH SHIT WE NEED TO HURRY UP AND FINISH THIS STORY WITHIN THE TIME WE HAVE and I mean so much shit happens in like the last 5 minutes that it probably could have been an entire episode of this show! It was nuts. Anyway this is pretty great.
I fucking love Alvin and the Chipmunks. I would watch them all the damn time as a child. YTV showed reruns all the time. I've seen every episode of The Chipmunks Go To the Movies. No one has done that. The wacky antics of Alvin, Simon, Theodore and the Chipettes will never ever not amuse me. Also someone showed me a picture of Irma from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Jeanette together and I was AMAZED. They are literally the same character. Somehow Jeanette was transformed into a human being and became friends with April O Neil. No rest for Jeanette/Irma as she had to put up with another group of wacky rascals! Anyway this movie is fantastic. It's very funny, really well animated and has the gayest animated character of all time (the bad guy of the duo. holy hell he has clearly fucked many mens assholes). This is an adventure around the world to bring diamonds to smugglers. Yeah, they just made any old plot they wanted to for these movies and IT WAS AWESOME. I don't know if this movie or a movie above has the best music but this one is incredible! INCREDIBLE! There is also a group of villagers that look like white dudes but sound like stereotypical Asian men. They really like the song Wooly Bully. They call it Woory Burry. It's very weird. they might have been supposed to be Peruvian or something. Do they sound like stereotypical Chinese guys as played by Mickey Rooney????? I will never know because I will never go to Peru (sorry Peru)
Tex Hex reminds me of my uncle. Which I think is pretty cool. My Uncle is a pretty nice man and would not approve of what Tex Hex gets up to in this movie. Did you know that Tex Hex was originally a bad guy for the Ghostbusters cartoon with the Ape? Yep. but LOUIE S head of Filmmation was like this guy is too cool to waste as a random henchmen and he was right! Well sorta right. They made this entire cartoon to try to sell to Mattel and they did, but the original starting point was to use Tex Hex in something more than Ghostbusters But With An Ape. This cartoon was not a very big hit. The toy line came out first and the children of the 1980s had no idea who BraveStarr was. By the time the cartoon came out, Mattel had stopped caring. This movie was supposed to come out first but somehow ended up coming out last. This was the second to last thing Filmation ever made. They even closed their doors after making this. Somehow the movie Happily Ever After, their Snow White movie came out nearly a decade later after it should have in like 1994 or 1995. It's a pretty entertaining little movie in my mind. So is BraveStarr The Movie AKA BraveStarr the Legend. This movie really shows what Filmation could do when they had a budget over 6 cents. I love the designs of all the characters and the backgrounds and even a lot of the animation. Filmation was known for being cheap as hell but I do respect LOUIE S for wanting to keep American animators with jobs. The plot of this movie is pretty wild. First off it starts off in space with a Native American shaman who jettisons a child in a pod out in to the DEPTHS OF SPACE so that STAMPEDE cannot find him. That child ends up becoming BRAVESTARR. We see the origin of TEX HEX and some other character who I will call JOURNALIST BOB because I think he's a Journalist. He flies around in some kind of FANCY SPACE WHEELCHAIR and it rules. His daughter is a FEISTY WOMAN named JB who is the new judge of SPACE TEXAS and even gets into a relationship with BRAVESTARR. They are being harassed by Stampede's goons and BRAVESTARR has to stop them. We meet THIRTY THIRTY the SAUCY talking horse and all the characters from the show in a really fun little piece of animation. It does a very good job of getting you up to speed for the show. I wish it had worked out better for ol' Marshall BraveStarr.
This is the movie that brought SHE RA into the Masters of the Universe uh universe. It starts off with new bad guy Hordak (one of the few He-Man related figures I had as a kid) kidnapping She-Ra. He Man finally finds out from the Sorceress and they end up going to the world of Etheria to find her. I mean Sorceress doesn't actually tell him that this person he has to go look for is his sister or even what she might look like. Just that the sword will know who it is. He has to find out shes his sister the hard way. The Sorceress is kind of a jerk. Anyway this show also brings in the She-Ra cast and they get to do enough stuff that makes you want to now tune into She-Ra. You get a lot of great Skeletor moments even though he's not in it enough. Hordak is a lot of fun and so are the new bad guys. There's not much to say here except that again Filmation could really do good work when given a budget more than 2 nickels. Also this one ends hilariously quickly just like the Inhumanoids did. It's very amusing. If you like He-Man you'll like this and if you don't like He-Man, why the fuck are you even reading this stupid blog you moron?
The Care Bears Movie is awesome! I watched this one quite a bit as a kid. There was one scene where the little girl character the Care Bears have to show how to CARE again is clapping her hands and it looked like she was mentally challenged. My sister and I being SAUCY CHILDREN would go wild making fun of that scene. We were jerks. Anyway this time the Care Bears have to stop a MAGICAL BOOK and a boy named Nicholas. The way the book says Nicholas is one of the creepiest damn things on the planet. I've seen 283420890 horror films but somehow the creepiest things are still that voice and the theme song to Are You Afraid of the Dark?. Speaking of Are You Afraid of the Dark? this movie was animated in Canada and every Care Bear was voiced by Canadians except for I think Georgia Engel who played Ted Baxter's girlfriend in the Mary Tyler Moore Show. I like that I know that but if you asked me what the question to some algebra question I'd probably just have a heart attack and die to get out of answering. Mickey Rooney also voiced the grown up Nicholas. I'M SORRY I SPOILED THE CARE BEARS MOVIE FOR YOU BUT I KNOW YOU'D NEVER WATCH IT BECAUSE IT'S GIRLY. I AM A GIRLY MAN AND I AM PROUD. GIRLS RULE. This movie has some great music and I like it a lot. I will sometimes watch the songs on YouTube because again I'm very cool. I get laid every 32 seconds.
I wish I had seen this cartoon as a child because it's fucking AMAZING. I would have watched so much of Jem it probably would have made people puke. I don't give a shit, girl cartoons rule. I was already considered the weird kid so why the fuck should I try to PLAY BY THE SCHOOLYARD RULES. I mean I'd never mention I'd watch them. I had enough social skills to understand that but I would have watched this as much as the Care Bears Movie and The Good The Bad and the Huckleberry Hound (if portnoyd is not good I will rate and review every Hanna Barbera movie, in fact I just might do it anyway!). I only watched the most respectable of cinema at five years old. Anyway this story starts off with the characters at a Funeral. Yep. Jerrica and Kimber's dad uhhh Henry Howard died. I don't know the characters name. We meet Eric Raymond who is voiced by Charlie Adler and just sounds like a normal man. Wild. He wants to run Starlight Music. The Misfits (the superior Misfits, they are better than the actual real life band and no I won't take that back) cause a ruckus and when Jerrica finds out they are being supported by Starlight Music she goes to Eric Raymond. They have a bet if Jerrica's band wins she gets Starlight Music but if she doesn't he gets it. Also if they win BATTLE OF THE BANDS some BILLIONAIRE will just give them a fucking house! Wild! Eric Raymond and the Misfits literally do EVERY EVIL THING UNDER THE SUN to keep them from winning. Oh and Jerrica is Jem becuase of a weird HOLOGRAM MACHINE that CREATES HOLOGRAMS that HENRY HOWARD created made her into Jem. This cartoon was fucking wild and I love it. The only problem is that this has some really bad animation. You can tell they put more money into Inhumanoids but enough people loved it that it got 3 seasons and 65 episodes. So it's all good in the hood. Jem is TRULY OUTRAGEOUS!
We are finally getting to the stuff Portnoyd has seen. Portnoyd is INCREDIBLY GAY for GI JOE. Portnoyd would have HOT SEX with EVERYONE in GI JOE and COBRA. Portnoyd is a man whore for GI JOE. MAN WHORE. So this movie is where GI Joe gets really weird. So this movie has Serpentor try to put Cobra Commander on trial. He is found to be guilty. Some random SNAKE LADY shows up and she is working with Golan-Globus voiced by Burgess Meredith. Burgess is probably the most early 20th century name ever. Burgess Meredith is clearly having the time of his life voicing this character. So they end up teaming up with these guys to take over the damn world. THE ENTIRE WORLD. GI Joe has to stop this. The best part with like the next few movies is that despite the casts being LARGE AS FUCK, every single character gets to do something. The best part are with the RHYMING BLACK MAN ROAD BLOCK and Cobra Commander having to escape and Cobra Commander is turning into a snake (yes i told you it's weird). Oh and Cobra Commander was originally apart of Golan-Globus' community. These two together are incredibly funny. Also Sgt Slaughter despite sounding like a drunk mentally challenged man is one of the best parts of this movie. I love him so much. Anyway GI Joe clearly deserves a spot in the top 5 and thus it gets it. It's pretty wild how I did not watch this as a child.
Here it is. This is the movie I have seen the most in my entire life. I do not know how many times I saw this movie but it was a lot. I'm pretty sure my parents would just ask the video store clerk at KELLY'S VIDEO to not return it as they were going to end up watching the Care Bears fight Dark Heart (aka Satan) a 12 year old boy for the 49205th time. Anyway this is mostly nostalgia talking because If we are going ot be honest it seems the first movie and the third movie are better told stories. The Care Bears start out as babies in this movie and then are fully grown to fight Dark Heart at the end. It never tells you how long this takes either. It's very weird. Maybe they were getting ready to create BABY CARE BEARS for the toy line but gave up and it's still in the movie. I don't know but it's honestly kinda weird. I would love to ask the people who wrote these cartoons so many questions. They would probably get like several restraining orders against me. It's sad how THE HOLLYWOOD ELITE treat their fans. Anyway one of the best parts of this movie is Dark Heart. I don't know whos voicing him but they are giving it their all. He always dresses in red and when he turns into animals they are always red. I like to think he is Satan and the LOVE OF THE CARE BEARS DESTROYED SATAN because that's really really really funny. If i'm being honest the plot of this one should probably have it near the bottom becuase it's kinda all over the place but fuck you it's my list and you can suck my nads. THIS IS MY GAME OF DISAPPEARING BEARS AND YOUR GONNA HAVE TO PLAY IT. Also the movie gets children to scream I CARE I CARE at the end and yes this forty year old child did in fact start saying I CARE I CARE. I also believe it was in the middle of the night so I could have woken up my elderly parents BUT DAMNIT I CARE ABOUT THE CAMP CHAMP!!!
I want to visit the alternative reality where this movie was a success. Not only were they planning to do sequels to it but you know they would have tried to make Rescue Rangers, TaleSpin and Darwking Duck. It would be beautiful. I would have went into that reality and stole those movies for all of the nice readers of this blog to watch. Still, the one movie we do have is pretty excellent, seeing as it gets the second spot out of twenty. That's pretty damn good for Scrooge McDuck and the gang. Every character in this movie gets something funny or awesome to do. It's very aware that some weird little kid's favorite was Huey even though Huey Dewey and Louie were not very different from each other but they still gave Huey some shit to do. It's nice. Even Ms Beakley and Duckworth get things to do. It's incredibly animated, but then again Disney put in like 20 million into this movie. It's really good. Also for like my entire life I thought Robin Williams voiced the Genie in this movie but no one really cared about that. It turns out it was the older, gayer but not hairier Robin Williams, Rip Taylor. I have not seen any other Rip Taylor movies to my knowledge. I don't even know why I called him a gayer Robin Williams. Then Again it's kind of a puzzle to know me or read anything I write. Sometimes I just stop a thought in mid sentence. It's pretty wild but I think kinda fun to piece to gether what I actually meant to say. I'm a puzzle but also once you figure said puzzle out you do go why the hell did I do that? and go do something else. This movie also has great music, but orchestral kinda stuff. Christopher Lloyd does a great job as the bad guy and really should have voice acted more. I'm going to be very sad when Christoper Lloyd passes away. He was only in 420592054920492049204 movies that I love.
I think the Transformers might be the most well made 80s cartoon series. Not my favorite (that would be a tie between the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Real Ghostbusters). I get the feeling the people behind it really liked the whole idea. I could be wrong. Maybe it just felt like a chore and they'd rather be working at Marvel Comics. I have never spoken to any of these people. It's just this show had the best worldbuilding and backstory and all that of all the shows. If a person wanted too they really could make a good series of movies out of this show. Since I only even saw the 1980s Transformers in reruns I never did see this movie or I think even the third season until I was an adult. Legally an adult I mean. I saw this in 2005. I'm pretty sure it made me check out the show again and even see the third season. I thought it was awesome. The 4-5 year olds who saw it in the theatre because they wanted to see their robot friends have a fun adventure did not. They murder the SHIT out of an insane amount of Transformers. It's kind of amazing how graphic this movie is (did you know they were going to kill Duke in GI Joe until the outcry from this movie happened). I just happened to really enjoy the new characters. Arcee, one of like I dunno 3 lady Transformers. Grumpy old man Kup (I love grumpy old men). Ultra Magnus and Rodimus Prime. I never got the hatred for Rodimus. He was just trying to warn Optimus! He's also voiced by Bender from the Breakfast Club! Judd Nelson is a cool guy! The rest of the cast is great too. Leonard Nimoy, Orson Welles, Lionel Strander and ROBERT STACK. Yes, the Unsolved Mysteries guy was a fucking Transformer! I get the feeling that a grandchild of his got him to do this movie! The music in this movie is amazing. The Touch is an 80s classic (Stan Bush rules! HE EVEN DID MUSIC FOR SAILOR MOON! THAT'S HOW COOL HE IS!) The Transformers theme by Lion is cool as fuck (even if they say UNICORN instead of UNICRON in the song!) and it even has music by Weird Al! The plot is pretty good, it brings the Transformers back to Cybertron and outer space to fight UNICRON voiced by Orson Welles. He's really good in the movie even if he did not care about doing it. If you are reading this you probably have already seen this movie but you really should watch it again. It rules!!!
You know whats weird about all this, the 1990s did this too but like halfed. They had a few compliation tapes made into movies and like I think two or three actual movies. We are going to look at one of those movies tomorrow or whenever I feel like it. Soon, but who knows if it's tomorrow or not. Anyway catch ya later!





















lol
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I just pooped so there will be no FOAMY SHITS in my SHORTS.
ReplyDeleteThe Healthcliff movie should be last because Heathcliff has always sucked. I AM A HEATHCLIFF HATER. Or HEATHCLIFF STAN. Whichever ones meets I hate it more. HeathCRAP is basically a Garfield knockoff but somehow in reverse. I DON'T KNOW, I JUST KNOW THAT HATECRAP SUCKS. If you told me DONNA DANNA and RALPH BABARELLA made him, it would explain everything. The reason Garfield works is the undertone of Garfield basically hating everything and everyone. Jim Davis is a VERY SMART MAN because he knew a cartoon cat would work but also made him relatable in the same way Dilbert actually became popular because Dilbert wasn't interesting but people hate working in offices and any chance to make fun of it is welcomed.
Meanwhile what's HeathFARTS big deal? Oh, he goes outside? That's dumb. The best cats sit inside and ignore your existence. He's bossy but in an unlikeable asshole way. Garfield is the same way but comes off not.
I am certain his movie is shit and lol it's recycled episodes? Fuck you sideways. At least give it some style like QUACKBUSTERS, somehow missing from this list. Quackbusters is the best recycled cartoon content movie ever made. I WILL SCROLL DOWN AND SEE IF IT'S ON HERE. It is not. Claw deserves to be haunted forever by the ghost of J.P. CUBISH.
I don't remember the Littles at all so most of this is lost on me. MOVING ON
So you just farted in the library? Like, not even take a liquid shit on the DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM? I think it was really the Mr Kelly problem than anything. My son would be your best friend if you farted in school. He's obsessed with fart jokes. He's also 13 which is the same age you would be. I think your classmates were UPTIGHT TURDS. I can understand anxiety though, I have learned to fight through it by NOT GIVING A FUCK. I'll be 100% honest, I am at the point in my life where I don't hold back farts. Not at home and not in public. I will not fart on people, like in a supermarket aisle, I will try to avoid cropdusting them, but once I'm past them, I walk fart and do not care who hears it. Tbh I am a little concerned that my asshole will go into fatigue and I will start shitting my pants at like 60.
I guess that's what I'm getting at. There are situations where it matters what people think of you. Work, mostly. Also situations where not standing out or standing out is best for you. Or being kind to the people you care about. But that's seriously like 25% of the time. The rest of the time who fucking cares. Do not feel ashamed of the FART STORY. Sure, I bet kids laughed, but when's the last time you saw anyone? Mr Kelly is probably dead at this point. And if you ran into one of those kids in your class and that's what they remember about you, take pride in it. "Yeah I did and it was awesome, Mr Kelly was a prick tho". That's it. Also if it's an consolation, I still have contact with ONE person I knew before I was turned 18.
And here I go on a rant. In high school, I went to Catholic school and Catholic schools are like required to have a priest in some capacity with all the nuns. I do hope this isn't the case these days but hell will freeze over before my kids attend a Catholic school. I did 12 years of that shit and it was just shit. ANYWAY, the priest during my time was Father David Coppola. FATHER DAVE! He was young and had a jewfro even if I guess he was Catholic. FATHER BIG FRO. He was a nice guy and down to earth but not a hippie either. Easy going and chill. That's a lot of build up to the one comment he made to a class I was in - everyone one year gets a Father Bigfro class and it was very light and breezey - but the comment is the point of THESE LOTS OF WORDS.
ReplyDelete"You are all my acquintences but we are not friends"
And that's a problem I think people don't realize. The line between "friend" and "not friend" is too shallow. When you are young, everyone you meet is your friend. The bar is low because you're a kid! But the truth is they are just acquiantences. (I will keep spelling this word wrong, deal with it). Friendship is much than an acquitence. As you get older, the bar raises because you become more mature and being a friend is more complex. If you can't draw the line as you get older, you end up aligning yourself with people you shouldn't. You need to realize what a friend actually is.
I made this mistake a lot. Maybe a topic for another GREAT REPLY THAT MAKES YOUR POSTS BETTER is how I was "friends" with a group of people for 20 years that treated me often like SHITTY BULLY FRIEND. Not all the time, but hindsight is 20/20, there were lots of incidences where I should have moved on from them after college because I was being treated disrespectfully. 2 of those guys I went to high school with and the truth is... I should have ended that friendship when I went to college.
As an example on the Father Dave comment, every Saturday, I play board games with 3 guys. The host's house stinks like cat piss and it's gross. That one. Anyway, I have been playing with them for almost 3 years. I do not consider them friends. I only learned their last names a year or so ago and I don't know the new guys last name (he joined 6 months). I literally have them in my phone contact list as "Lonny Boardgame, Lee Boardgame and Jayson Boardgame". I learned the first two guys's name because we were having technical issues with a game and then their last names came up. I know hardly anything about them. They are acquintscenes. Meanwhile, you cavern guys I consider friends. I consider you a friend. I would not be telling you any of this person stuff if you weren't and I think you wouldn't either if you didn't feel the same way. MAN HUGS FOR EVERYBODY.
I know we tease you about stuff but I want to keep it to goofy shit. You do not grape people. Your parents are human. The foot thing was accidental because lol I'M TRYING TO BEAT A FOOT BOSS LEAVE ME ALONE and apologize for that one. This is because I consider you a friend.
Meanwhhile that group of people from 20 years ago? When I was in college, one of them threw a condom full of mayo on my car as a prank and acted like they didn't do it. THIS WAS IN COLLEGE AND I REMAINED FRIENDS WITH THEM FOR 20 YEARS. GOD I AM FUCKING STUPID. So don't feel bad you associated with SHITTY BULLY FRIEND even for a few grades.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you stopped being friends with SHITTY BULLY FRIEND. That kid Kyle I stopped being friends with by the function of going to a different high school and never seeing him again (literally AKKSHULLY). If you made the conscious decision to get away from your Kyle, that's something you should be proud of.
And if you don't know anyone from your schooling days anymore, that is NOT a problem. Fun fact: that one person I still know, we were in NURSERY SCHOOL together, we met when we were 4. She remembers, I don't. Went to different grammar schools and then went to high school and college together. And there's probably an alternate universe where we dated and that is where I will stop this discussion because like you've said, NO ONE READS THIS... but just in case they might, that's it on this topic forever.
Ok wow, wrote a book already and only did 2 movies. Father Dave btw quit the priesthood while I was in college, got married and had kids. He would have been wasted in the priesthood and it sounds like he knew it.
OH LOOK MOVIES. AND SMURFS?!
Fuck the Smurfs. Or I guess the correct terminology is SMURF THE SMURFS. And that's lol that they are in it for half the movie. Tbh that almost sounds like an improvement. And I need to keep typing this so it scrolls off the screen because my wife likes the Smurfs lol.
Also, the new Smurfs movies are total crap and the movie ticket sales prove it. The latest one, we saw a trailer for it and THE ENTIRE FUCKING TIME they kept slapping you in the face that Rihanna or Beyonce was voicing the one chick smirf. Like, this movie had SO LITTLE GOING FOR IT that it should have been called RIHANNA AND THE SMURFS. It was embarrassing. My wife who as said likes the Smurf had NO interest in it. And this kind of movie should be targeted at her. NICE JOB WHOEVER MADE THIS. It as the 64th earning movie last year, right where it belongs. Fuck Smurfs.
The Jetsons are from the 60s you SHITHEAD. Obviously they got stuffed down our throats as kids. EAT SHIT.
Anyway, I vaguely remember this movie. I can't tell you when or where I saw it but I did. What stands out to me, and maybe I am misremembering, is they finally activated the giant stilts that all the buildings were on. I think had to go higher because of more pollution. Maybe, I can't remember. I remember nothing else otherwise.
Oh man, Rick and Morty. I remember watching the first season and was like "wow, this is done really well". Then more seasons happened and it tried to have a PLOT or make STATEMENTS and the show was lost to us. We still haven't watched the latest season and probably never will. This doesn't even have to do with replacing Justin Roilland, the show just stopped being as fun and was more concerned with being the smartest person in the room. Smugness nailed it like you said.
ReplyDeleteStar Wars... that's an entire AMAZING REPLY THAT IMPROVES YOUR BLOG. But I will just say you are correct on your assessment. I recently rewatched Return of the Jedi. It's just fun. I think that's what's missing from a lot of new stuff done with old IP. Is it fun? Like they are making Goonies II and they shouldn't but it could work if they just make it fun like the original. It shouldn't be hard to: cast new kids in the stereotypes from the first movie, mix and match them with the parents (so Corey Feldman's son is the fat kid AND HAVE A FAT KID GODDAMNIT, THAT'S REAL LIFE. I'M FAT, YOU'RE FAT (sorry) AND SO ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE, JUST MAKE THE GODDAMN KID FAT) and then have the KIDS go on the adventure, followed by the NOW AWKWARD AT LIFE ADULTS, followed by JOEY PANTS, ROBERT DAVI AND THEIR GUIDO KIDS. This isn't hard.
All they have to do is take every scene and ask themselves "Is it as funny as the Chunk blender scene?" OR "Is it as fun as a bunch of kids going through a plumbing room and accidentally causing chaos all over town?". IF THE ANSWER IS NO, REWRITE OR DELETE THE SCENE.
And don't get me fucking started on DWAYNE JOHNSON trying to touch my goddamn beloved Big Trouble in Little China. It does not need a sequel (the comic sequel series was fucking awful) and it does not need a remake.
Wow, this is way off track. I never saw My Little Pony in any way prior to the remake series and my daughter as a toddler was obsessed with Pinky Pie. She's 11 now so that's long gone. Oh goddamnit I AM NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE DEPRESSION I AM FEELING OVER MY KIDS GETTING OLDER. FUCK.
WHATS THE NEXT FUCKING MOVIE, BABAR, FUCK IT LETS GO
I hate Babar. I have not seen this movie but for reasons unknown, they had a Babar series on HBO. I have talked about how HBO shows and movies have shaped my sense of humor and things (via Police Academy, Troll 2 and other stuff) and fuck me, this is fucking long already. I watched the Babar series and it was just dull as fuck. It's the kind of thing you shit a 4 year old in front of if you want him to play with his toys, ignore the TV and/or fall asleep.
Fuck me, Go Bots. I had a few Go Bots.. maybe. Did they even have a cartoon? If they did, I don't remember this. You know, it's funny they have Kojack as the lead villain which is funny when you think about Transformers and Orson Welles, and Burgress Meredith as Globulus. I imagine a bidding war for Welles to be the villain and when GI Joe and Gobots lost out, this was the B tiers they could get. All of these movies with their landmark voice acting grabs.
ReplyDeleteDon't talk to me about those fucking Bay Transformers movie. Jesus christ.
Like the other Littles movie, I do not have anything to add here. I just don't have anything to say but I will say the preceding so you don't think I skipped it.
I will talk about all 3 Care Bears movies in one go because I have not seen any of them. However, I remember watching a Care Bears cartoon as a kid at some point. As far as "girlish" cartoons, they are the most boy accessible imo. Basically more huggable Gummi Bears. I am sorry after all this verbal diarrhea but I do not have anything else to add. LOOK, I CAN'T GO BACK IN TIME AND FORCE MYSELF TO HAVE NOSTALGIA FOR CARE BEARS, KERK.
My wife loves her some Rainbow Brite though. She has like, new "old style" dolls that they released in the past 5 years. She will buy Rainbow Brite merch. She is a better person to comment on this movie, and the show... and the character than I am but I'm not going to have her sit down because she might read the preceding and think I'm crazier than she knows I already am. Charlie Adler is a legend though.
Dude, I don't know what to say, there were a fucking ton of cartoons back in the day and one with 15 episodes and somehow a fucking movie didn't stick. Seeing the logo now makes me think I did see them on the toy store shelf, but I might be confusing them with Vindicators or whatever the show was with the really tall action figure that you could plug missile launchers into.
I kind of hate Alvin and the Chipmunks. I was thoroughly exposed to them through cartoons and their utterly painful RECORDS back in the day. I liked playing it slow so they almost sounded normal. Their regular voices were annoying and I wanted to stuff Alvin himself into a wood chipper. The dork and the fat one should have stuffed him in a barrel and tossed him into the river. So yes, I did experience the Chipmunks a fair amount. I probably have seen this movie once but it blends into all the other Chipmunks shit so I have no memory of it.
I am aware of Bravestarrrrr and was aware of Baravestarrrr as a kid but it never entered my orbit. I liked the concept but wherever the TV show was aired did not cross my path nor did the toys. That pretty much aligns with what you said in the paragraph about the show. Based on what you said, this could be really awesome if it was converted to an anime or something and given new life.
Now you're speaking my language. I do remember this movie and while it blends in with all the He-Man I watched, I do remembr them introducing Hordak who is like my favorite He/She-Man villain and just a really cool design. I never did watch She-Ra (it was the 80s and BOYS RULE). He-Man was my first toy line. I had a whole bunch because as I mentioned before, even 10 years prior, my boomer parents operated like money was free and they could buy more money. I had Hordak's slime pit but my mom wouldn't let me play with the slime. Lol. He-Man is the best. My wife recently rewatched all of original He-Man (she was into him too) and I was nearby for a lot of the episodes and they hold up. Not maybe as much as Disney Afternoon cartoons but still fun adventure. I think a lot has to do with how good Skeletor was a villain.
ReplyDeleteI did not watch Jem but I firmly remember it airing after GI Joe on the USA cable network in the mornings. I would watch GI Joe before going to school. That was great. Cartoons in the morning! Ok brain, get ready to learn by watching Cobra Commander get pissed at his minions. Now here I am and I can barely get my fucking kids out of bed for school. WHERE DID I GO WRONG. Do I need to offer them cartoons or something. Anyway, I did not watch Jem after GI Joe because I either just didn't, watched something else or I had to go to school. My wife likes Jem but not on the level of other 80s cartoons she watched and have rewatched. I think it's liked but not loved in her case.
If you review BOB BABBA and JOHNNY BADABABERA movies, I will not reply. Sorry. RONNY HARRA and SAMMY BABABAD movies are going to be terrible and now you have my comment on that post right here. FROM THE FUTURE.
Ignoring Care Bears II (I MENTIONED WHY I SKIPPED IT AND CARE BEARS 3 EARLIER ON, JERK, not to mention this reply is long as fuck as it is), now we get the goodness with the last 3. Ducktales, GI Fucking Joe and Transformers. I have DECREED that I will start with Ducktales first.
I love Ducktales. I recently rewatched the whole fucking thing before we left NJ and other than jank animation in the second half, it is truly an excellent cartoon. As is the movie. You know, this is the only "proper" movie but let's be honest, there's like 2 or 3 5 episode serials in the run of the show (ok at least 1 that I can remember, the Scrooge/Glomgold money weigh in) and those are basically movies as far as I'm concerned. I bet they could have stitched those together ala HEATHFARTS and it would have been great. I am with you, I wish this movie did better so it would have spawned THE DISNEY AFTERNOON CINEMATIC UNIVERSE or something. Oh well. The good thing is we have what we have and we can pretend the reboot of the show from 10 years ago never happened. IT NEVER HAPPENED. And yes, this movie is GOOD and FUN.
Jumping ahead to Transformers, this is probably the most dramatic cartoon movie from the 80s and maybe ever, in the vein of animated movies trying to sell toys. Now older, I cannot fathom having someone like Orson Welles voice Unicron. I can't even think of someone from our timeframe who would be more out of placed doing a cartoon voice. Daniel Day Lewis? But even Mr Oscars for Everyone is not on the same tier as Welles. I don't think there is a actor alive who is on that tier. Anthony Hopkins doing Bluey seems more reasonable. Here's a quote from Welles about it: "You know what I did this morning? I played the voice of a toy. I play a planet. I menace somebody called Something-or-other. Then I'm destroyed. My plan to destroy Whoever-it-is is thwarted and I tear myself apart on the screen."
If I had like 8 wishes, one of them would be to speak like Orson Welles does. I read a book by a guy who basically had lunch with him for a year. It was a fucking hoot. They don't make people like Orson Welles anymore.
AND it has Casey Fucking Kasem and Eric Idle on top of the ones you mentioned. That's a fucking cast for like Wuthering Heights... this is a cartoon movie trying to sell toys. Wtf. I love it.
Anyway, this movie is a fun adventure and follows GI Joe in the same vein (important hero dies, new guy goes on an adventure to save the day) but holy fuck so much darker.
ReplyDeleteFinally, the GI Joe Movie. YES JERK, I DO HAVE A LOT OF NOSTALGIA FOR IT SO FUCK OFF. Duke gets nearly iced (I agree, definitely if Transformers didn't happen), but it's at least a lot less violent in its character killing. You can look at it as crowning Serpentor as the big guy when they snake Cobra Commander. But that doesn't even really stick. Serpentor is honestly a crappy villain THIS, I COMMAND. However, the 5 part series where they create Serpentor is really awesome. Like globe trotting to steal famous people's DNA or something. Man,
I absolutely loved when cartoons did the FIVE PART series that ran from Monday to Friday. And without fail, I would miss one of the parts. Being a kid was a hard life. I know Ducktales did it and GI Joe did it, did any other cartoons in the 80s do the 5 part serial? YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS BECAUSE YOU SHOULD.
ANYWAY, it introduces Cobra La and all this deep backstory to the Cobras beyond "they are the bad guys". I loved the new characters like Globulus, Winged Commander guy and Lady Cobra. Like, it's like this has always been in place and now we see it. Akin to Transformers, shit goes down and we get like 4 sub plots that converge back onto the main plot. Like you mentioned, the best buddy comedy ever in Roadblock and I'M A SNAKE Commander. And then what's his face's boot camp with Sgt Slaughter. Hell, I am not even remembering all of it. I really should back off the Japanese TV, watch the TV show so I can watch the movie.
So that's it. Eat shit.
Damn son. That's a huge novel. I read it all. I will go all over the place with that.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember what half of those classmates even look like. I wouldn't even know what they look like now as adults. Mr. Kelly I have no idea is even alive any more. I never liked him and was stuck with him for 3 years. You know those teachers that were just burnt the fuck out and didn't seem to care all that much anymore. I remember him being angry at me for not being in love with the sport books people read. I have no idea how old he was and if he's still around.
I kinda want to meet Father Dave. That's a good piece of knowledge to give to kids. It's not bad to be someone's acquintence but a friend is something more.
Heathcliff is a giant asshole and I kinda love that for him. I don't know what it is but I think the fact that Jon and Odie are memorable where as Heathcliff's owners are forgetable as shit. I would never go for Heathcliff over Garfield but I did enjoy him as a kid and still enjoy that now. He was created by GEORGE GATELY GALLAGHER. Try saying that three times fast.
I was reminded of those Looney Tunes movies and I think I have to rank and review all Looney Tunes movies. Even if that means I have to rewatch Space Jam 2.
Speaking of Space Jam 2 yeah I think the sense of fun is missing from a lot of this new stuff. They feel they have to UP the last movie and it's really not going to happen because these are movies that are fucking iconic at this point. You aren't going to better the original Star Wars movies no matter how you try. They have reached legendary status.
I enjoyed my rewatch of several Smurfs episode for the FINAL EPISODE I did on them and it's a pretty good little cartoon show. I did not watch the last movie made last year or the movie made before that. I did watch the NEIL PATRICK HARRIS movies adn they are awful. Raja Gosnell just might be the worst film director of all time. Those live action Scooby Doo movies are terrible regardless of what people a decade younger than me say. Just pure annoyance. Hank Azaria (in one of his rare appearances on film!) as Gargamel is the best and only good part. The rest is just the laziest kids film shit.
ReplyDeleteThat Babar series is the series I talked about lol. It was from Canada. I guess the fact it was SHOWN ALL TIME here (remember the Cancon rule of if Canadians worked on it it counted as Canadian Content and tv channels had to use it. Trust me it might be kinda boring at times but it's a masterpiece compared to say Mega Babies. I do not think I will ever talk about Mega Babies. The pain is still too tender.
Children aging and how it works on you is WILD. My nieces are younger than your kids but it feels like it was just yesterday that they were just wee little babies you could hold in your hands.
Go Bots did in fact have a cartoon. You're favorite guys of ALL TIME Joseph Barbera and William Hanna did it!
I have no idea how many movies they even made but I love their Charlotte's Web film. They give Paul Lynde a song!!!
He-Man was a hoot and so was She-Ra. Early YTV would show them a good amount. Like they would show the GHOSTBUSTERS cartoon with the Ape a lot too. It was a wild channel. All kinds of weird British shit too. I loved it. It has since lost all of its charm it had in like it's first decade or so of life.
I loved Alvin and the Chipmunks. I thought it was funny as hell as a kid. I would love to own those cheesy records too. I didn't even mind those movies made in the 2010s. At least they were better than THE SMURFS and SCOOBY DOO made by SATAN GOSNELL.
I think they reran BraveStarr on ASN or some other non-YTV channel. I wonder if when I watch the show something will break open adn I'll be like HOLY SHIT I WATCHED THAT. It really should have been a hit.
I remember being told I could only use slime on the non-carpeted stuff in our house. I of course did not listen to that and I'm sure we had to get the carpet cleaned. Slime is awesome and my nieces are all into it.
Those five part serials are what some of these "movies" are lol.
The cartoon you are thinking off when mentioning Inhumanoids was Centurions. It was written by Michael Reaves, Larry DiTillio and Gerry Conway and the characters were designed by Gil Kane and Jack Kirby. I have not seen it but I do believe the dog even gets a suit and I think that's hilariously awesome.
I just stopped going to see my KYLE because I just had enough one night. I just told my mom I didn't want to see him again and he didn't go to the same school with me anymore because he literally beat a child half to death.
I do believe my mom was kinda sad that she couldn't get free haircuts. His aunt would give me free haircuts because I guess it was to keep someone as his friend. I just know the last time anyone I know saw him told me he was like high on Oxycontin and not even in his right mind.
ReplyDeleteI love Jem and think it's great fun. The cartoon gets pretty wild sometimes. One of the characters even gets hooked on drugs but it's all better at minute 22. RONNIE RAYGUN'S america was a crazy place.
The amount of "wait Orson Welles was in that?" is insane. I don't even think Transformers the Movie was the craziest one. Poor bastard got screwed over by the IRS or something. It was so bad that he still had to do things he clearly did not want to do like Transformers the Movie right before he died.
With that said he was GREAT in that movie. Clearly gave Unicron such gravitis. Seriously Unicron doesn't come back and he's just a damn floating head for all of season 3. Yet he's till remembered because of that one movie and it's all on Welles.
I love Eric Idle and the weirdo TV robots. I also love the FIVE FACED WEIRDOS that got their own FIVE PART SERIAL if I recall correctly. It really was the most dramatic cartoon of the 1980s. It was great.
DuckTales was great. I didn't hate what I saw of the new version but I just don't care enough to watch it more. Something about bringing back these episodic shows and turning them into A BIG SEASON/SEASONS LONG ADVENTURE just doesn't work. Also the guy who was the showrunner said he got ideas from X-MEN COMICS which just doesn't feel right for Duck Tales. It's like taking ideas for BEWITCHED when you are writing for ST. ELSEWHERE. It's weird. The fact they literally shoved the entire DISNEY AFTERNOON into the show at the end (apparently even BONKERS shows up) just felt like it didn't want to be DUCKTALES it wanted to be DISNEY AFTERNOON FUN TIME, which really is a vastly different thing. The movie is great. I also looked up RIP TAYLOR on Letterboxd and he had the weirdest film career. Home Alone 2, three JACKASS movies, 2 scooby Doo movies, TWO probably shitty NATIONAL LAMPOON movies (made in like the 2000s after everyone forgot about that brand. I'm tempted to do a RANKING AND REVIEWING of those but man so many of them look so bad), A Cheech and Chong movie, Waynes World 2, a crappy slasher movie and THE GONG SHOW MOVIE. I don't know what he did as a regular job (as he was only in 34 movies during his 85290 year long career) but I know that's a wild set of movies.
Lol. I forgot about the Jetsons, which I say still counts because no joke the majority of the 75 episodes of the Jetsons were not made in the 1960s but the 1980s. That happens in the movie and you think it'll make some eviromental message but no not really. it's just "hey I guess we should finally make the houses move". It's kinda half assed but then again everything about THE JETSONS was half assed and I will stick up for YOGI BEAR and SCOOBY DOO like some kind of lunatic.
ReplyDeleteGI Joe. I really need to watch all of it for the first time. What i've seen is great fun stuff. It dipped it's toes into weirdness but not as much as the DIC VERSION with GRANNY and GORILLAS THAT WANT TO FUCK COBRA COMMANDER. They never explain how he comes back from being a snake. As much as I like the DIC VERSION for being OFF THE WALL LUNACY. I think the movie would be the perfect ending.
How could you forget about LOU TENTANT FAL CUN. which is how BEACHCOMBER says his name. Did you know there was a Canadian show called THE BEACHCOMBERS and it lasted for like 40 years. It was terrible. DON JOHNSON from MIAMI VICE voiced Falcon. He was Duke's younger brother. The actors they got to voice characters in these movies was nuts.
Totally back off the JAPANESE TELEVISION and ADULT SWIM CRAP and watch GI Joe. Or at least rewatch the movie. It's wild.
Serpentor was fine. I do like his design. It's just COBRA COMMANDER is the boss of Cobra IT'S IN HIS NAME DAMNIT.
You know, the only reason I remember my grade school classmates is because, and I am sure at this point of EXCELLENT REPLIES THAT MAKE YOUR BLOG BETTER, we all reunited in our early 20s when one of us died. Yes, I did bring this up because I brought up Kyle. It reinforced how they look as adults now that I remember them. I do not blame you for not remembering yours. The kids/adults who were at that funeral, we all graduated together. Anyone who didn't I only have vague memories of too and tbh they are starting to blend together with high school kids I vaguely remember. Getting old is horrible.
ReplyDeleteFather Dave was a genuinely good dude. He was a good priest but I am certain he made a better dad.
Heathcliff has an owner? I don't even remember that, but maybe I'm like, mixing him with Top Cat or something. GEORGE GATELY GALLAGHER. It would be cool to have 3 identical initials. A guy with the name Alex Aaron Andrews must love playing arcade games, ba dum tsh. I could have done that with my son but I opted to give him the middle name of my stepfather Chuck (Charles).
About the Top Cat thing, in the 80s, I think we got TOO MANY cartoons. I mean, a "what am I going to do with all this money" situation as the 60s/70s cartoons got pushed up into our decade.
I would fully support a Looney Tunes movie ranking and also seeing where JORDAN SPACE JAM stacks up against LEBRON SPACE JAM. And it's true - the upping, the more cameos, the more extreme stunts and like... it's ok. Just make it fun.
Holy shit Doogie Howser was in the 2010 Smurfs movies? How I am just learning this. This sound slike it would be either very amazing or very terrible and I will take your word on it that it's the latter. Hank Azaria is awesome, he had a show called Brockmire, it was very entertaining but it also gets SERIOUS ABOUT ADDICTION unfortunately which gets in the way of JOKES.
I apologize for you getting more Babar than the US. That is horrible.
Of course LARRY HADDA and TIMMY BABRADA would make the knock off Transformers cartoon because they themselves are knockoffs of Chuck Jones.
Oh man REAL Ghostbusters did not give a fuck. Next you will tell me the ape in it was purple. HMMMMMMMMMM.
Oh god now you reminded me that made CGI Chipmunks movies. I have a vague recollection that Jason Lee played Dave. Let's see if this is correct. Oh fuck my life WHY DO I REMEMBER THESE THINGS. Can I replace that information with useful stuff like literally anything. I have not seen the movie and never will because fuck Alvin.
That's something I want to ask you, you would be THE SOURCE to ask. Besides GI Joe and Ducktales, how many shows had the 5 day a week serial episodes? Even if they were or weren't converted into movies.
THAT'S IT! Centurions. Yeah, I remember the dog but never got that toy. I don't know about you, but did you ever have like white whale toys you never got but lusted after? I'm trying to think but that dog and Mumm-Ra from the Thundercats were ones I like, never got and wanted. Just couldn't find them because I assume the assortment had like 1 each in a case.
I am happy to hear that, you were better than I was by just saying no to him. And holy shit, he beat a kid nearly to death? What a fucking psycho. And lol no surprise he's a pillhead. Sounds like he got the fate he deserves.
ReplyDeleteWell, to be fare with the Jem drug episode, this was NANCY RAYGUN'S JUST SAY NO AMERICA. I remember an episode of C.O.P.S (now that's a show I literally forgot that I watched a lot of) where they had a drug episode and the COPS were chasing some kid and he fell into a crate of like these drug patches and they kept zapping him with drugs and then he was in the hospital. That's all I got. But I remember the main COP was Bulletproof Vesp (like a vest amirite).
Yeah, like Welles was so fucking high class and everything and here he is doing cartoons and wine ads that he absolutely hates. But yeah, he was truly one of the most unique people to have in random places in the 80s. Him in Transformers was truly legendary.
X-Men comics for... Ducktales? NO. STOP. GET SOME HELP. Ugh, that makes me want to watch those new Ducktales even less. As you said, I do remember reading how they were shoving Darkwing in there and ROLL MY EYES AT THAT. Come on now, please. Just focus on the characters and make it FUN.
I do think one thing that has tainted cartoons these days is they now make them for kids AND adults who watched the originals. I really think they have to decide who this is for and stay in their lanes. NEW cartoons like Bluey ride that line naturally, of the few episodes I have seen (they were on the DISNEY HOTEL CHANNEL when we went to Disneyland 3 years ago and the kids were basically already aged out of the show but it was the only thing on lol). But like, come on now. Make it fun for kids and if it's good, the adults will follow suit with no needed attraction.
I think Rip Taylor was a 70s guy... established before our time but kept popping up. Kind of like Charo and Rowan and Martin Laugh-In or something.
I know your love for RAYMOND HELLA and CHRISTOPHER BHAHAHA and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I agree, they should have just left it at the movie. Like, Cobra is always going to do their bad guy stuff and the Joes always were going to stop them. Eradicating Cobra and Cobra La just feels unrealistic which is like, funny because it's a cartoon.
Ohhh that's right, it was Don Johnson. Fucking incredible lol.
I have never heard of Beachcombers so you know what that means...
I have too much TV to watch and not enough time to do it. Seriously, watching GI Joe, catching up on my Japanese TV (someone just dropped 2 seasons of a show I really want to watch, 1 season of another and 1 season of a show I watched with shitty AI subs and now this guy did good ones) and Adult Swim. I dunno man, it might take me literally a decade to get through it all. I have 32 shows left for Adult Swim. I think maybe I need to just sit down and binge the large ones like Squidbillies just to put the end in sight.
Lol I thought I might get away with just 2 replies worth BUT I GUESS NOT.
The Smurfs live action movie with DOOGIE HOWSER was just weird. I remember that his characters kid has allergy to a random kind of bird and it works up in the plot somehow. he also has a dad or stepdad that he felt didnt love him or something. It's a very "oh hey we've seen these tropes 10,000 times" kinda movie. Hank Azaria is literally having the time of his life with this shit.
ReplyDeleteI might review the Beachcombers, maybe do the FINAL EPISODE if I can. I certainly do not want to watch EVERY EPISODE.
C.O.P.S. was animated (partly) in Canada and the voice actors were all Canadian. DiC did this quite a bit.
Yeah. for NU DUCKTALES it would have been fine if Darkwing showed up once but he becomes a member of the cast. The cast of the show was like insanely huge at the end of it. The fact he wanted to make it like CHRIS CLAREMONT'S x-men was just weird. those are two vastely different things and I want them to stay separate even if I do like both.
I've got to be honest and say there might be a whole 5 whopping series on Adult Swim that I would want to watch to the end. Maybe like 10 or so if you add in stuff that aired on Adult Swim but wasn't made by them.
My favorite thing involving Welles was MAURICE LAMARCHE voiced him in the CRITIC. "THEY'RE EVEN BETTER WHEN YOUR DEAD"
The only toys I wantd but never did get were some Darkwing Duck toys that I'm sure at the point I was buying them were CHEAP AS SHIT and my parents. You know the dance you gotta do with your parents sometime with a toy or something. My mom was just not having it. Probably shouldn't have said I was gonna tell my sister that Santa didn't exist to get them lol.
I don't know if he was nearly to death or what. All I know is that some kid just bothered him and he went ape shit on him. I never saw that kid or him at school after that. I am surprised they didn't kick him out of school earlier.
I like Jason Lee but HOLY SHIT was he a bad dave. they also replaced him with JUSTIN LONG.
The Filmation Ghostbusters was just a regular old ape. With a fancy hat. I like him.
ReplyDeleteYeah I looked him up and he was on GAME SHOWS a lot in th e1970s apparently. with CHARLES NELSON REILEY. Do you think Loog wishes he was as cool as CHARLES NELSON REILEY?
Yeah Heathcliffs creator is a true G. With two extra Gs.
His owner was a little kid. With a grandpa and grandma. They are incredibly forgettable.
I really should do that LOONEY TUNES RANKING. So many ideas, so little time. Space Jam 2 just feels somehow more cynical and cash driven then the original. At least they got Bill Murray and Wayne Knight to goof around in that one.
The 1980s and 1990s had A LOT of cartoons. Every time I think I've got them all done in articles POW i find like 30 more. It's fucking wild.
Oh and the five part things. I know ThunderCats did it for season 2 to introduce the NEW thundercats and Transformers first five episodes were a mini series I believe..
ReplyDeleteOk this will be the shortest reply I can do just to reply one last time because you replied 3 times and you deserve a reply.
ReplyDeleteI should YT clips of Hank Azaria Gargamel.
I would like to get Maurice LaMarche to sign something at some point and I will insist he gives me The Critic Orson Welles (NOT THE BRAIN) and givem e the GREEN PENIS LINE.
My mom, aka Mrs Bullet Train to Bankruptcy, which I am not kidding about, they literally declared bankruptcy, would buy me a lot of stuff with little fussing. One time we found a new wave of TMNT figures at the local supermarket. I don't know why. She bought them all for me. That's some serious mom shit but expensive as fuck. I am just glad I didn't end up spoiled because she sure fucking tried and she DEFINITELY tried with my kids (which also didn't work)
Also that's some diabolical shit about Santa and your sister but... all's fair in love and action figures.
Charles Nelson Reilly crushed pussy. Or assholes. Not sure if he was gay like Loog. But that dude got around forever. Couldn't even tell you what made him famous.
charles nelson reilly was the gayest man who ever lived. I mean behind Paul Lynde...
