Cartoons that were, in retrospect, absolute shite

unfortunately i re-watched some thundercats... painfully bad

it raped my childhood memories

also Gatchaman is class just for its full name translating as Science Ninja Team Gatchaman

science ninjas? win

nah fuck off, Thundercats is still ace. I remember watching the feature length one recently where Lion-o wakes up in his bed and jumps out, fully clothed in thundercats uniform and with weapon strapped. Pure win. Mo Fo don't sleep light while Mum Rah's still packin'

Sport Billy - which most of you probably never saw.

Plenty of old cunts on here.

Laurel and hardy. Fuck that was shite.

Batfink was enjoyable shite, mainly for kids in the playground running about shouting "my cock/fanny/arse is like a shield of steeeeeel!"
 
The Real Ghostbusters was pretty shite
It went downhill when the producers de-Brooklyn-ized Janine Melnitz, although that nonsense did lead to a great episode by J. Michael Straczynski. ("Janine, You've Changed", which I think is floating about on YouTube.)

Speaking of YouTube, it hit my nostalgia for the Nineties X-Men cartoon hard, so that's my nomination. Shoddy animation is go! Batman: The Animated Series, on the other hand, remains a masterpiece.
 
there was A Highlander cartoon that I remember fondly. I don't want to look it up now lest it destroys my fond memories by being crap, like when I torrented Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors
 
ok... there was this cartoon that i can't remember the name of but i had some toys of it. basically the heroes had these kind of animal familiars which they either turned into or used to fight for them. iirc it was a cartoon set in the future. the action figure i had was one of the heroes and he had a hologram on his chest of some kind of animal, a lion or a bear or something. he also had a battle standard that he held, also with a hologram of an animal on it. any ideas?

Good Lord, I'd completely forgotten that! I don't advise looking it up: its absolutely dire, makes X-Men look like Dangermouse. "Let's make a children's cartoon series about immortals who go round decapitating each other." Someone really didn't think this one through.

Still, it got me interested in the fun Christopher Lambert music video ... erm movie, and the superior TV series, so not all bad.

Visionaries:cool:

my mate has the models
 
the chest familiars were what they changed into. The dude in the banner was like a rare resource of wisdom and power that they only tapped in great need
 
hmmm, i was going to nominate the raccoons but i reckon that was pretty cool actually. cyril sneer was one of the best cartoon villains ever

The three pigs weren't bad either.

Just YouTubed the Alvin and the Chipmonks theme: Zeus almighty. :eek: Loaded up the Chip N Dale theme to banish the sound of the hellium-filled little rodents.

How about Defenders of the Earth? Cool theme, but otherwise, hello blandness. Mandrake was a class act, mind.
 
Bucky O Hare

Killer Tomatoes

Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles - wasn't it Mrs Thatcher who banned the use of the word "ninja" in their title?
 
Sport Billy - which most of you probably never saw.

I even remember the theme tune:

Sport Billy!
He's a hero from another planet
Sport Billy!
And he was chosen for a special mission

Now he's come to earth to
fight for good
Sportsmanship
And with his Omnisack there's magic in his haaaaands

was dangermouse any good?

Do Urusus Ursus defecate in arboreal environments?

hmmm, i was going to nominate the raccoons but i reckon that was pretty cool actually. cyril sneer was one of the best cartoon villains ever

That was an eco-cartoon wasn't it? Sneer was some kind of deformed elephant/tapir, and had a young nephew who wasn't evil and usually helped the racoons thwart Sneer's plans? Am I on the right track?
 
Superted was shit, but not even in retrospect.

I didn't realise how shit Ratfink was until I saw it again recently, although perhaps it was supposed to be blantantly crappy. :confused:

dangermouse was superb. absolutely. i have two DVDs of it. it's ace. i love it. i love dangermouse. dangermouse was superb. absolutely. i have two DVDs of it. it's ace. i love it. i love dangermouse. dangermouse was superb. absolutely. i have two DVDs of it. it's ace. i love it. i love dangermouse. dangermouse was superb. absolutely. i have two DVDs of it. it's ace. i love it. i love dangermouse. dangermouse was superb. absolutely. i have two DVDs of it. it's ace. i love it. i love dangermouse. dangermouse was superb. absolutely. i have two DVDs of it. it's ace. i love it. i love dangermouse. dangermouse was superb. absolutely. i have two DVDs of it. it's ace. i love it. i love dangermouse. dangermouse was superb. absolutely. i have two DVDs of it. it's ace. i love it. i love dangermouse. dangermouse was superb.
