Toon Appreciation Month

[Cedric]

Okay, this has been an ongoing discussion in Ravenclaw House for a while. What we've come up with (Rc for the timing, she's the bains of the operation) is one month dedicated to the toons that keep us entertained in our time of need.

What we ask is for everyone who frequents the Cauldron to change their avatar to that of their favorite cartoon for the month of August. Doesn't matter if it's new or old. It'd also be great for a change it title too, but that's up to you ;)

If this goes well, I hope that we can do this every year :)

-Cedric

[Colli]

Ahhhh! Cartoons rock! Especially the old sentimental ones (ok, not all of them are old):

Animaniacs (my favorite)
David the Gnome
Tale Spin
Duck Tales
Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers
Smurfs
Recess
The Weekenders
Rugrats
Darkwing Duck (when there's trouble just call d dubba ya)
Daria
Eureka's Castle
THE ELEPHANT SHOW!! (skidda marinky dinky dink, skidda marinky doo! I LOVE YOU)
Bonkers
Tiny Toon Adventures

I'll work on the avatar, Cedric. Awesome idea. :)


AHHH read the Ravenclaw house thread and I have to add

Muppet Babies
The Muppet Show
Muppets Tonight (ok, that was a show for adults too!)
Fraggle Rock
Angry Beavers
Johnny Quest

edit: and
Samurai Pizza Cats
Gummi Bears

[Xazinon]

Ooh, hey, nice idea! :)

Now I just have to figure out which cartoon I want for my avatar: I like too many of them! :) Hmm, well, I'll see how I go: could be fun!

Samurai Jack is a pretty cool show, Ced: excellent choice! :)

[Ravenclaw]

Oh yes, I loved the Elephant Show too, Colli! Hehe! And Tail Spin, I'd forgotten that... Oh oh! And Darkwing Duck! HAHA!

Haha, watched old Nickolodeon (sp?) shows from '92 yesterday... Ah, Clarissa Explains it All... before she was Sabrina...

That's not a cartoon, reminiscing, I apologize. But there were cartoons, like old OLD Rugrats shows, and Grim Fairy Tales! Ha! That was so cool...

But I also think this is a great idea (if I do say so myself :D).

[Fleurdelacour]

*points to avatar and grins* Smurfs are my first cartoon love! :D

Oh! I remember Clarissa, she always had that friend who climbed in through the ladder....

*points at avatar*

i do like a bit of x-men. specifically Cable but he isnt in the new x-men evolution cartoon, and in the old x-men cartoons he was kinda... weird looking. but never mind.

i like my samurai jack, a bit of justice league, a sprinkling of powerpuff girls, a large helping of batman of the future and generally anything connected to comics. excep the old Hulk cartoons, which consisted solely of banner turning into hulk, general ross mounting a hunt for him, chucking a cage on him and then betty calming him down enough to turn back into banner again. every single episode.

and the old spiderman cartoon had 30-episode stories which were rather hard to follow at times...

ok, retro cartoons, lets think...

CAPTAIN CAVEMAN AND THE TEEN ANGELS!!! no just kidding i cant stand that show. i liked animaniacs (if that counts as retro) but pinky and the brain irritated the **** out of me. johnny bravo was alright too.

i never used to pay much attention to Rugrats, except one day it happened to be on and i started watching, and it was one where the red haired kid was getting curious as to why he didnt have a mother and his dad showed him a box full of stuff his mum had done for the kid in hospital and poems she'd written so he could know her after her death and it was incredibly sweet and tear-jerking.

i'm surprised nobody's mentioned animated movies here, i think my current favourite is Lilo and Stitch. its rather like harry potter in that a kid can watch it and like it, and an adult can watch it and enjoy it just as much but in different ways, as there are things in it that kids wouldn't pay attention to but an adult would find amusing or important. its very clever like that.

something just occured to me - does anybody aside from Disney make animated feature films anymore? i dont ever remember watching one made by anyone other than Disney.

speaking of which, does anyone know if they've got any further with making the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy film yet?

[ChianaWeasley]

ooo.....cartoons!!!

I always loved a good cartoon and the list goes on, but things have changed so much nowadays. Well as a child I enjoyed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Masters of The Universe, and the occassional smurfs.

Then as I grew older and nickelodean came out I enjoyed classics such as The rugrats, AH!! REal Monsters, Rocko's modern Life, and Doug.

Then i lost sight of any good programming and started watching cartoon network when that came out I began to watch Two Stupid Dogs, Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Quest,Xmen, the list goes on.

Then i grew older and learned the joys of action anime! Like Gundam, Cowboy Bebop, New Xmen and such. Well a new turning point for me, and gladly Cartoon Network carried them all.

So I say cheers to cartoon network!
:beer:

[Kristin]

I do enjoy cartoons. :)

Ones I grew up watching:
The Smurfs
Superfriends
He-Man
Shirt-Tales (anybody remember this one? :o)
Scooby-Doo
The Jetsons
The Flintstones
Rocky and Bullwinkle
Loony Toons


Cartoons I've enjoyed post-childhood:
Space Ghost Coast to Coast (whoosh!)
South Park
Wallace and Gromit (not technically a cartoon, but almost)
Monsters, Inc. (Mike Waczowski!)
The Simpsons
Angela Anaconda

[ChianaWeasley]

Shirt Tales!!!
I used to watch that show religiously!
I wonder what happened to it...

I've never seen Wallace and Gromit, I've heard it's good though
whats it about?
something with two sheep i know that
creator of Chicken Run
and the serta sheep
:D

[Amberion]

Nobody else watch The Herculoids

I know its not a cartoon but did any body watch the Banana Splits

it had a really cool cartoon in it called Tales of the Arabian Nights

[PhineasNigellus]

Thundercats for ever!!

I totally forgot about the Ninja Turtles! My brother and I used to watch that like every day! And I loved He-Man and She-Ra, remember her??? She rocked!!

[Cedric]

Aren't you guys gonna change your avatars already? It's not for long ;)

What kinda bugs me is sometimes there's a new show being aired on CN in latenight, but it never gets past that one episode. Now, some of these are good, and some are really bad. One of the bad ones was "the venture twins" (they've showed the same episode of this twice). One of the good ones was "Saddle rash". There was also this one show, don't remeber the name, but it was about these jewish kids, never got past the first episode, but I think it should have.

Oh, and Monica, you can go here (http://www.countingdown.com/movies/1281/news) for up-to-date news on the movie.

-Cedric

[BloodFire]

I did! See?

points to her purty new ava

[Cedric]

Very nice Bf ;) Never really got that show... Maybe because I've only seen one episode...

-Cedric

[Colli]

Fine. :p I'll change my avatar now.

But there are people out there that would kill me if they knew I (even temporarily) had gotten rid of the green guy.

[ChianaWeasley]

I worshipped She-ra. Who doesn't need a female role model when she's little? Mine was her, a kick butt war heroine!
:D

[Xazinon]

Kay, I changed mine... I have a few different ones, so I may chop and change a bit over the next few months. :D

Ooh, I love Space Ghost Coast to Coast! :) Though I don't understand why they just keep replaying the same episodes here over and over when I know there are plenty that they haven't shown. I was considering getting Space Ghost for my avatar, but I kinda decided that was too popular a choice, though I have him on my university profile. :D

Plus, how could I go past the Ed boys?! They constantly entertain me, and have some rather neat theme music in my humble opinion! With a combination like that, how can you go wrong? ;) :D

[Little Miss]

ooooooh cheers ced.

hey i completely forgot my favourite cartoon of the moment.

.hack//sign

i want to get the game .hack//sign - infection for the ps2 but i dont have enough disposable income at the moment to order it from america... stupid boyfriend with his american ps2 grumble grumble grumble cant play the proper version of FF10 now :(

also Evangelion (although i dont class it as a cartoon for some reason), Lain (although its really hard to watch sometimes) and this new spiderman cartoon thats being made by mtv where he's really depressed and violent (just like how he's meant to be).

oh and how can i forget Record of Lodoss War? :rolleyes:

[StarGazr]

I changed my icon too. She-Ra is the coolest! hey, did any of you watch a Japanese cartoon called Unico or something like that... I don't remember it much, but I think that's what it was called... I watched My Little Pony too...:o bad memories

[Colli]

Oooooh does anyone remember the Samurai Pizza Cats? That show was SOO funny, I used to watch it every day with my brothers after school.

Samurai Pizza Cats...
Oooh yeah!
Who do you call when you want some pepperoni?
Samurai Pizza Cats... (Right on!)
They're stepping out crime, and you know that ain't balony

[ChianaWeasley]

Ed,Edd, & Eddy!!!!!!

One of the best shows, well of the newer ones anyway!

I must search for Ed Edd & Eddy pictures.....


http://www.awn.com/mag/issue4.03/4.03images/SCAD_EEE.jpg
http://users.volja.net/homepage/edsmodeled01.jpg http://www.theeddzone.com/plank1.jpg

PLANK!!!!
my best friend plank.....

[Ravenclaw]

Hehehehe! Ed Edd and Eddy. What a cute show.'

I used to LOVE Animanicacs! I watched them every day. So, of course, I love your avatar, Colli! I remember way back when Animaniacs was a NEW show!

Hey, what about Tiny Toons? Buster and Babs Bunny (no relation.)

I remember the Samuri Pizza Cats! Hahaha! That reminds me of another cat superhero show: Anyone here ever watch SWAT Cats? Haha, I liked that show too....

I just found another video tape with old cartoons-- Inspector Gaget, Ninja Turtles, and Madeline.

I watched Rescue Rangers on the plane from Chicago (you know, on the Disney Chanel.) I'd forgotten about Chip and Dale in that...

Ah, those were the days, no?

Me and my friend went through all my stuff looking for Pogs (if you remember that fad, my brother was really into it and I felt like finding them and playing with them.) But instead, we found old Beanie Babies, Care Bear toys, Ninja Turtle action figures, barbies, Marble Works, SPLAT! (I love that game! Milton Bradley... you make clay bugs and squish 'em!), Pound Puppies (wasn't that a cartoon too?), and something called "Poppies." They're cool... they look like little monstors with a pouch on their back, and you roll them up and they fit in the pouch like a little ball... oh, never mind.

We also found some My Little Ponies. And a Furby. Gosh, those things are annoying.

Do you know what else? I really liked the commercials in 1992. Hehe, they had commercials for Elmer's Glue then. And they had a Ninja Turtles Mini Golf course! Do you think I could get that on eBay?

I'm feeling nostalgic again.

[Xazinon]

Hurrah! Ed, Edd n Eddy fans! :)

If you like the show, check this one out Chiana:

http://www.theeddzone.com/

Quite the coverage! And apparently Double D is the most attractive to the gals.. any comments? :D

Heh, I don't so much remember Samurai Pizza Cats as I remember the title song, I gotta say!

Hmm, Pogs.. I got some of them around here someplace: I was really into them too. :)

I used to be able to play the Tiny Toons theme on piano. :D

Oh my gosh... I had like 500 pogs! They were the coolest... I don't think I ever knew what they were really for... but I had like fifteen to twenty different colored tubes FULL of them... plus like ten big flipper things.

I loved My Little Pony almost as much as I loved Barbie. I had it all. I never got into Furbies but... I think my friends had them. What about like water babies? Or those weird babies that you pulled out of a bag to detemine of it was a boy or a girl... and like one in twenty had a coupon to send in for its twin... sound familiar?

ah! Memories! Inspector Gadget!! Oh that was BRILLIANT!! :D And Madeline! oh, that was always on after Seasme Street!

Furbies! eek! I found my old furby the other day, it was really white and dirty. does anyone remember tamagotcis?! They were around in 1997/1998. They're got cartoons, but the furby reminded me!

Pogs... Ah! Pogs! Those discs you'd slam on those little cardboard things! Monica brought them to our school... She's to blame :p

[Cedric]

Ahhh Ed, Edd N Eddy... I watch that show from time to time, probably not as much as I should. Though I am working on a life sized plank :D

Samurai Pizza Cats kinda rings a bell, but I can't think of ever seeing it.

I loved pogs too. Use to play games (for keeps some times ;)) with my friends all the time. Still have two metal slammers. For some reason, my sister has all my old pogs, I think she thinks they'll be worth something some day... Which they probably will.

-Cedric

[ChianaWeasley]

Ah...pogs,yes I remember pogs. I only collected the Simpson pogs. Other tehn that I was still really big into Star Wars :D
Ah, Ed Edd & Eddy should be on everyone's agenda. Edd isn't the most attractive I dont think.

Ah, mutant turtles!!!

OH! I was at Goodwill yesterday and I found a bag of action figures, almost the entire set from my favorite movie when i was younger. A kung fu kangaroo movie! But I didn't have enough money, I will get it though :D

[Little Miss]

Ravenclaw, how could you forget that chip and dale were in rescue rangers? the theme tune was "chip-ip-ip-ip and daaale, rescue rangers, chip-ip-ip-ip and dale.... etc etc"

you cant blame me for pogs. i'm sure someone had them before me. right? i know i always had the best flipper-things though... what the hell were they called? there was some technical name for them... i'm sure i'll remember when i wake up randomly at 3am and have to come and post it...

i had a pog maker too, so i could make really cool ones :D

[ChianaWeasley]

A pog maker? Yes, I think i recall seeing those in the craft store when pogs were sold out.

Hmm...cartoons. I'm learning to draw anime right now, a bit difficult to learn I'd say. I keep practicing though! Well one of my cartoons are going onto a sweater for band (its a cartoon of the pit):) Very happy about that. I'm hoping to improve by far though so wish me luck:p

The only cartoon I ever hated watching was Scooby Doo, I cannot stand Scooby Doo,urg!

Drive a girl nutters
:p

[Drizella]

*Drizella steps tentatively into the Leaky Cauldron and walks into the TV room where everyone is sitting around throwing popcorn*
I've brought some Jell-O Pudding Pops!

I've so enjoyed reading and reminiscing on this thread! If only I had an avatar to change! :D

Hey, I *loved* Scooby Doo. It was on TV recently and I watched an episode, and it's just so classic. I mean, can you get a character like Shaggy anywhere else? :D

All right, here's some of what I remember:

Smurfs
Care Bears
My Little Pony
Rainbow Brite
Heathcliff
Captain Planet, yes...though I made fun of it more than anything.
Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers
Duck Tales
Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles
Scooby Doo
Animaniacs

And I do remember Pogs, though I was slightly too old to collect them.... does anyone remember slap bracelets?
by Ravenclaw
"Poppies." They're cool... they look like little monstors with a pouch on their back, and you roll them up and they fit in the pouch like a little ball... oh, never mind.
I know exactly what you're talking about...and they were called Popples, I had about 3 of them! I'm so glad someone else remembers!

OT question: Does anyone remember those stuffed animals that were half one animal and half another? I don't rememebr what they were actually called but mine was named Bumblelion. (Half bumblebee, half lion...)

Okay, back to cartoons... :D

[lithorose]

Actually, it's not OT. Wuzzles was a short-lived cartoon show. I had Butterbear. (Still do, actually) Can't remember any of the others though. One was half seal, half moose, I think.

Anyone mentioned Herself the Elf yet? I liked that when I was little. Also My Little Pony (soooo crazy about that one) and Strawberry Shortcake.

And I'm surprised no one's mentioned Pinky and the Brain. that show rocks!:D

[Drizella]

Thank you Lithrose!

And I loved Pinky and the Brain--they were originally featured on Animaniacs, how could I forget?

[Fleurdelacour]

:p

Yes! Arghhf! That was on today! I hate Scooby Doo and his bloody cousin... what's his name... scrappy doo? All they do is scream and run away from stupid things... "and if it wasn't for those pesky kids!!!" then what was the whole point in doing it if the outcome of the cartoon was going to be the same every episode...

I don't know where... But recently, I remember reading, or watching... but this person said, that Scooby Doo was the best thing in American literature, because the main characters Scooby and Shaggy were cowardly! And not brave, like in every other story... I didn't say this before you trout me! Just, as Charlotte York would say, exchanging information!

you cant blame me for pogs. i'm sure someone had them before me. right?

no... I remember, we were about eight or seven, sitting by those picnic tables by the sundial under the willow (ooh! we had a willow... it didn't hit us though... they've cornered it off now, d'know!) anyway.. and you brought in this pack of things - pogs. You said they were from America. you took it in your pride, years after that you introduced them to school ;)

I think they were called Smashers... something like that...

[Ravenclaw]

They were called kini slammers. And I have exactly fourteen of them, including one with my brother's picture on it when he was thirteen (he won some tournament at Kings Dominion in DC). I found them yesterday, they're fun to play with. Remember that strange beaver mascot they had?

And you're right, Drizella, they were Popples. I read the tag on the back wrong lol.

PINKIE AND THE BRAIN! I LOVE THOSE TWO!

Does anyone here remember a show called Gummi Bears or something... had something to do with these bears who helped this royal family somewhere...

Me and my friend were talking and we think that Nickleodeon needs to bring back a lot of its old shows. Did someone here mention Rocko's Modern Life? That show scared me (don't ask why.) But for some reason, shows like Are You Afraid of the Dark didn't scare me...

I think Scoobie Doo's alright. Except Fred, Daphne and Velma don't have as much character definition as Shaggy and Scoobie except one's the leader, one's your typical teenage fashion queen, and one's your typical nerd-who-knows-everything. But beyond that, what are they? That's why everything that tries to define them from the original-- the Scoobie Doo Movie, A Pup Named Scoobie Doo, and other variations of the cartoon all succeed in giving Fred, Daphne and Velma a character, but neither is exactly the same. Don't make me go into it... But other than that, I think Scoobie Doo is a clasic.

And since we're on the topic of classics, what about the Jetsons, the Flintstones, Yogi Bear, Snagglepuss, Top Cat (a personal fav :)), and other beloved Hanna-Barbera characters? I love Hanna-Barbera! I just watched Yogi's Treasure Hunt. :D!

[Colli]

Ahh Ravenclaw I can't believe I forgot to list Gummi Bears! Yes, that show is another classic. They drank that red juice and would start bouncing everywhere.... great stuff. :D

[Ravenclaw]

Ah, yes, Colli, that's right! That cartoon was in the back of my memory! They were so fun!

[Drizella]

Gummi Beeaaarrrs, bouncing here and there and everywhere.
High adventures that's beyond compare,
they are the Gummi Bears :D

I don't know how I could have possibly forgotten Gummi Bears. That was a favorite in my household. Lol, the Gummi Berry Juice! What a classic. I'd love to watch that one again.

And the Flintstones and Jetsons of course! That was also very popular. Man, I watched a lot of cartoons...

[Fleurdelacour]

Gummi Bears....... No... don't remember....

Ah, the Flintsones! :D

Rocko's Modern Life! Yes! I Remember that show Ravenclaw! :D

[Cedric]

Rocko's Modern Life was still on Nick before summer. Sometimes, on "You Pick Live", they would have it on. I've always loved that show. Very original, very funny.

Hey Chiana, got any drawings you'd show me?

I remember this one show, don't remember what it was called. But it was on late at night where a ton of old Hanna-Barbera characters would compete in different strange events. Anyone else remember that?

-Cedric

[Moxie]

This could be said of pretty much any cartoon of the era (and probably most American cartoons, still). Never stopped me from wanting to see how Wile E. Coyote was going to screw up in his attempts to catch the Road Runner, though. :D

I don't think I can bring myself to change the good ol' Moxie Man, but if I did as suggested, I'd probably use either the Coyote... or Starscream from the Transformers. ;) :cool:

[Cedric]

That's the whole point Moxie, you change it back at the end of the month :)

That's true, to a point. Most cartoons today have one plot, they change around the characters and situation, and you've got a new show. But I agree with Fleur, I never liked Scooby either. In my opinion, if an animal is going to talk, you should be able to understand them! And where's the logic behind every word starting with an R?

Rooby rooby roooooo!

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

But that's boring, there's no suspense, or cliff hangers for the next episode. It's just boring if you know what's going to happen anyway, hence why I haven't finished reading RotK, as I was told what happens in the end. It just takes the fun away...

lol Ced! :D Exactly, what is the point of getting a dog to talk when he does go Rooby rooby roo!? Scrappy-do talked normally! and he was bloody annpying "Puppy power!" or something like that... Shaggy sounded like he was on drugs all the time anyway...

That's why I loved Animals of Farthing Wood, it was emotional (blimey was it emotional...) tense, funny, erm... just fantabulous!

[Moxie]

Scooby's All-Star Laff-a-Lympics, if I'm not mistaken - the characters were in three teams, two of "good guys" (captained by Scooby-Doo and Yogi Bear) and the "Really Rottens" who generally tried to cheat in every event, and almost always wound up in last place by the end of the show - though I recall that the Rottens actually won once (probably after the animators heard people grumbling about how cartoon plots were too predictable ;)) and 'net research reveals two episodes ending in Rotten victories. It couldn't have been on very late at night, given sibling and I were allowed to watch it... but I'm sure reruns can pop up at any time, especially now that it's OK for adults to watch cartoons without using their kids as an excuse ;)

[Ravenclaw]

Yes! I remember that show! They always had it in different countries too...

And wasn't there one where they all raced in go carts?

Does anyone remember Dick Dastardly and Muttley? I love those two!

[Cedric]

Yup, that's it Moxie :D That was a great show, Snaggle Puss was the announcer, right? And yeah Rc, I think I remember one with go carts...

And now that I think about it, your avatar is really already a cartoon Moxie :)

Lol Fluer! That's because he probably was always on drugs ;) Has anyone else here seen the "Harvey birdman, attorney at law" where they have scooby and shaggy? That one is soooooo freakin' funny.

-Cedric

[Ravenclaw]

Yes! I saw that episode! That was friggin hilarious! Made so much sense, too! Haha! I love that show!

Haha, I was just remembering Scrooge McDuck and his little nephews in Duck Tales. I loved Scrooge McDuck.

[ChianaWeasley]

Duck Tales!!!
I loved the movie just as much as the show!

Duck Tales!!! Wooooo-eeeeeww!!!!

They call me the brain at work, and my sister din is pinky, she had a bit of a "mishap" with my red hair enhancer :D

I've never heard of the gummi bear show though...must have been before I can remember....

Cedric, when I have something good, I'll show it to you :)
Needing much improvements, and a good coloring program :p

[Amberion]

I remember Dick Dastardly and Muttley

especially from the Wacky Racers cartoon

[Ravenclaw]

Lol, I had a dream last night that I was playing Zelda, only I was IN the game, see... it was the one for Super Nintendo, too, which made it extra weird and everything was flat... and the GUMMI BEARS were there! And they were trying to help me but kept messing up. It was funny and strange at the same time....

Thought y'all should know.

I'm surprised no one here has mentioned Dexter's Laboratory! Hehe, that show kicks!

And does anyone remember a show a few years ago called AAAHH! Real Monsters! Heh, I liked that show too.

And Scrooge McDuck all the way.

[Monkfish]

http://www.iclnet.org/pub/images/cartoon/animaniacs.jpg
The Best!

[Cedric]

Wait wait, you draw on the computer? Ahhhh, that doesn't count ;)

I did like Dexter, still do. But it's funny how much they've changed about it. They've changed the style, the voice of Dexter, almost everything. But I do still like it.

I remember AAAHH! Real Monsters, they showed that on "you pick live" too. I feel so lucky to be able to watch these shows still :D (well, not at this time of year)

-Cedric

[Xazinon]

Ah, I love Dexter's Lab: very cool show! If you keep your eyes peeled in the next few months, my avatar may very well change to everyone's favourite boy genius. ;)

I always liked Aaahh Real Monsters too... I have a drinking straw of Ickus and one of the Gromble as well, from Pizza Hut I think. :D

EDIT:
Oh yeah, nearly forgot.. I've seen Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law, and the Scooby/Shaggy episode. Is it just the programming here, or is there really only about 3 or 4 episodes of that show, cos that's all they show here. My fave bit with that episode was the end when Scrappy got swooped on and carried off, muhahaha! :devil: ;)

[Fleurdelacour]

Real Monsters... they ring a bell...

Ah, I liked Dexter, but then we lost our digital telly... so we lost cartoon network...

I loved the Powerpuff Girls though :D I spent months looking for their teeshirt in WB stores! Didn't find one...

I'm suprised no one has mentioned disney or the loony toons!

[ChianaWeasley]

I think I brought up Ahh!!! Real Monsters...I loved that show
Ickus!
Krum!!
Obleena!! (the early Hermione)

I want them back:(
http://www.theneitherworld.com/main/aaahh.gif
http://nickdisk.co.uk/images/nickinfo/monstersmall.jpg
http://epguides.com/AaahhRealMonsters/cast.jpg

ah...well thats good enough for now:D

[Drizella]

Oh! Oh! I loved Aaah! Real Monsters! What a great show! I don't know that they still air it on Nick anymore though. Remember Stick Stickly used to host U-Pick Nick Toons? What a great popcicle stick he was.

Heh heh...Krum. :D

[Ravenclaw]

I LOVE STICK STICKLEY! Nick in the Afternoon ROCKED! And now it's gone...

Say, I once saw an episode where Stick had a twin brother called Twig or something...

[Fleurdelacour]

HA! So they the real monsters! I remember now, it's all coming back! It used to be on Channel Four I think, really early in the morning...

[LuthienElentari]

Ever watched Invader Zim? :swoon:

Luthien Kisses GIR while he jumps around chasing a squirrel

[Cedric]

I've watched Invader Zim all the way through once. I really liked it, if only they had kept it on longer. Or if I had known when it was on. Always seemed as if it was never on.

Updated my birdman avatar... Better or worse then the one before it?

Never seen Invader Zim, seen things for it in stores, but thats all.

I was stricken without wqords, when two of my friends from band told me they didn't know who He-man was!!!:eek: Here's the scene:

Chiana: The only action figures worth playing with that I had were the Toxic Avenger, and He-man.
Christine: He-man?
Chiana: You dont know whoHe-man is?!
Christine:....no
Chiana: :eek:

LOL

very sad i know

[Cedric]

Even though I know who He-man is, I wouldn't expect anyone else in the entire world my age to know. I mean, in my opinion, it's a terrible show. I was watching something about the 70s or 80s on VH1 and they were saying how the old He-man was the gayest cartoon on T.V., which, from what they showed of it, was true :D

I realized something the other day: The only good action/more adult shows, that aren't comedies, are all anime. That kinda bothers me because it makes me think that Americans can't think of good action cartoons. I got thinking this because I was watching some of the new anime shows that are on adult swim really late at night. One of 'em was "FLCL" (or as I like to think of it, the weirdest cartoon I've ever seen in my whole life), and "Blue gender". I don't really like either of them, they're just sooooooo weird....

-Cedric

[Ravenclaw]

I know, some Adult Swim shows are the strangest things in the world... but others are pretty dang cool.

Question from a person who doesn't get Nickleodeon regularly: Do they still show CatDog or is that show pretty much dead...?

[Little Miss]

there's a new he-man cartoon on CNX over here... its still pretty gay, even though apparently it was made last year.

invader zim is good, but its not on telly over here yet so i had to be a criminal and download the series off kazaa.

*goes off to change avatar*

[Cedric]

That's an idea Monica.....

Yeah, I think they still show it. Or, at least they did during the school year. It's pretty much on as much as real monsters.

-Cedric

[ChianaWeasley]

:eek:

But..but I loved He-man!
And it's what I grew up watching
I don't say your favorite cartoons are stupid or "gay"
thats not very fair
:(

I don't have Nickelodeon anymore, but I think they still show it, I've seen it on when I'm over at someone else's house. But I dont really that channel since all the good stuff is gone.

[Cedric]

We have nothing against you Chiana, or the show really. It's just not our type of cartoon, that's all. Don't let us stop you from loving it. I mean, I watch and love SpongeBob, and a some of my friends think that's stupid, but I don't let it bother me.

nah he-man's cool but its just a bit camp when shoved up against batman or something.... hang on, batman's pretty camp too....

its just the way of the superhero show. they're fun and enjoyable and usually pretty good and very enjoyable, just they look a bit, i dunno, "retro" comapred to newer things like samurai jack and stuff.

if you want a really gay cartoon you should watch super friends... i love it but it has a serious case of the creators were probably on something when they came up with it, and then when they came down they decided half of it was too non-child-friendly and overcompensated.

[ChianaWeasley]

Oh! I used to watch Super Friends, you know what else is good? The Fantastic Four, I really got into that show! I am always addicted to the really cheesy 60 shows.

And the only peeves I have with cartoons are these:

a). the super chick with the invisible jet, wasn't it wonder woman..or was it the girl from fantastic four...anywho how did she find the thing to fly it?!?!

b). Scooby Doo, couldn't stand that mutt. But I was always into Thelma. I wanted Freddy and Thelma to end up snogging in a closet in a haunted mansion. She's so brainy:D

And never fear! I still love He-man!

[Ravenclaw]

My friend just reminded me of a catoon I'd forgotten all about-- Bobby's World! Did anyone else watch that?

I watched He-Man... I always thought it was weird, though.

I used to watch Super Friends. I have one on my old tapes... then I realized it was lame and decided I should tape over it... but dang, those cool commercials from '96!

I always liked Spiderman myself... my perfered Superhero. I always followed the story... And Felicia Hardy was my favorite character. I liked her better than Mary Jane.

[Cedric]

Uuuhhh, Chiana? Isn't it Velma?

Yeah, it was wonder woman. I always thought she was just a reason to have a female super hero, I mean those powers just SUCK. That is sooo true Monica. Every time I watch that show I keep thinking why in the world Lex would wear a pruple costume.....

I use to watch Bobby's world all the time, when it was still on fox. That really was a pretty good show.

-Cedric

[ChianaWeasley]

Yes, Velma, of course... they rhyme don't they?
:D

I loved bobby's world! I even have the little toy still from McDonalds where bobby rides his tricycle, man i played with that for ages!

Out of all the super heros I didn't like Wonder woman OR Super Man. You know my reasons for wonder woman. But I hate how perfect and infallible Superman is. Only kryptonite can hurt him. How lame. Oh yes we all come by kryptonite thats landed in our back yards:rolleyes: Too perfect if you ask me. Darn superman wish he'd stub his toe, just once :devil:

[DinEdhelwen]

Ok, it's about time I posted in this thread....

For starters, He-man the cartoon from what I remember wasn't all that great. I really liked the Masters of the Universe movie though. :)
Bobbie's World is awesome!!!! We used to watch it every morning. I have the theme song stuck in my head now! :D That and "Fish don't stink! Under water the fish don't stink!!" Don't ask me how I remember that....
I was never crazy about Doug, but the Beets were frickin' awesome! "I need more allowance! Yodelaaheewhoo!!"
I loved the Rugrats! Even the old episodes that they showed five hundred thousand times.
Scooby Doo was always pretty annoying, but there's this episode of Johnny Bravo where he meets them.... it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
The only cartoon I ever watch nowadays is Ed, Edd, and Eddy...*laughs to herself* "Jawbreaker, double d!!" :cool: :D
Adult Swim has some freakily weird shows, that's all I have to say....:rolleyes:

[Ravenclaw]

I saw that Johnny Bravo! And he keeps trying to hit on Daphne!

:D

read DK2. in that batman (aided by some teenagers, The Flash and some clever devices) beats the !!!! out of superman and leaves him for dead in the batcave.

the whole point of superman is that his one true failing is that he has emotions and too big a sense of justice, which was the reason batman had to pretty much kill him in the aforementioned book. except lex luthor couldn't make superman fall in love with him so they made up a silly physical failing too to make it a bit more interesting.

its like with batman, he's got no superpowers except his money and his madness, a combination of which he uses to get things done usually far more effectivley than his peers with superhuman capabilities.

wonder woman... she's the amazon princess who's left her homeland and her sisters to be a role model for the american youth, no man aided in her creation, no man controls her and no man is ever allowed back to her home (its the law on her island). and she has no weapons aside from a lasoo that forces those in its hold to tell the truth, and a pair of wristbands that act like shields. and i think she can see her own invisible jet, just other people cant.

of all the older DC heroes i think Oracle and The Flash are pretty cool, all the rest are a bit iffy.

[ChianaWeasley]

I recall reading the comic book about Alien vs. Superman
and in the end Superman wakes up with something in his chest.
What can I say, i'm the type to root for the bad guy, but not all of the time. It just depends on who fights who :p

In my opinion there need be more super heroines
not too many
but a few more
you know, to even things out on the playing feild
:D

Hehe, ah, good ol' Johnny Bravo! Don't think I've seen that episode, but I've seen other ones where he meets celebrities (eg Farrah Fawcett). I was actually considering making him my cartoon month avatar.. he might still make my avatar at some stage in the future, being such a funy guy and all! ;)

Good to see another Ed, Edd and Eddy fan: guess I went the right way with my avatar after all! :D

I love Adult Swim, but I agree, I don't always GET all the anime shows, though I've watched some of them the last few weeks and am starting to get into them. :)

Man, everyone is so down on Scooby Doo: I have no problem with it unless Scrappy is in it! The new series they made is kinda good, I think! it's all modernised and they have different clothes, and they poke some sly fun at Scooby Doo of days gone by every now and then, which is fun! :)

[ChianaWeasley]

Scooby Doo
shudders from the meer memory
theres just something about that show that urks me

BUT I do love a good healthy helping of Ed,Edd, & Eddy
I missed it this morning, that sucked. But there is always tomorrow! :p

Thought that last one applied to all of them ;) last time I checked (with the exception of Shadowcat, who was only supposed to be 13 or so at the time; I expect she's all grown up - and out - by now. Either they all have more mutations than even the X-ers admit to, padded bras are a mandatory part of all superheroine/villainess costumes, or someone's running quite profitable plastic surgery businesses in the various comic book-verses. :o)

P.S. If we want to get really encyclopedic, I can consult with friends who play comic-based RPGs. Their rulebooks have pretty comprehensive superbeing listings.

[Cedric]

Oooh Monica, you try too hard :D

And if you think about it, busty female heros is not much different from every male hero being totally ripped.

I mean, they are super ;)

hey i was just making a point... and those were just the ones i remembered off the top of my head... i've got a whole rooms worth of comics here with at least one female super-being in each...

oracle's in a wheelchair, black canary is about 15, karolina and nico are both seventeen, sephie is about 14, domino and jessica jones are both quite old, husk is 17 and shadowcat is now at uni (dunno about "out", i mean, she's openly jewish, but nothing i've read indicates she's gay... thats sunfire and northstar you're thinking of)

and yes they arent particularly remarkable in the breast department. and there are plenty more like them.

emma frost not being one of them. her current solo title is only being sold because the cover art is basically porn, and the phoenix manga comic... well, the less said about that the better, but seriously, how are these chicks supposed to fight crime in a backless strapless bra and a thong?

thats why i like domino, she dresses for the job. Husk is actually butt naked when she's using her powers, its just the way she is. but her powers involve turning her body into various substances like stone, rubber, steel, etc, but she cant transform her clothes too. and mystique is always naked, her clothes are just an extension of her body (which is possibly why she's been in that white wraparound jobbie with skulls on it pretty much since the sixties))

First of all... Felicia is my fav. Spiderman lady (as said before) cuz I like her... what's it called... sass... Hehe. And she's not all good-good.

Also, if you want to include the Black Cat, you should include female 'heroines' such as Cat Woman (a classic ;)). And what about Bat Girl (Barbara sommat...).

Lastly, in the X-Men MOVIE they said Rogue's name was Marie... I dunno, but thought I'd say that.

...

I am not a comic nut...

[Cedric]

Yeah, I remember in the old days when I use to collect X-men cards (some comics, I was more into cards) Rogue was nameless. I think I remember something about them letting her name out, not sure. I actually have the entire "Rogue" comic series (which is about five issues :D), might check those later on. Rogue was always my favorite character... Donno why.....

Here, I'll give ya some more females in case you still feel that there aren't any out there:

Bloody mary
Calypso
Chakra
Coldheart
Female Symbiote
Hardshell
Necturne
Shriek
Stunner
Silver Sable

Those are all from the Spider-man universe, by the way.

Batgirl became Oracle when the Joker paralysed her (see top of my list)

Catwoman was neither bad nor good really, i loved her all the same but i didnt think she needed to be included, and my list was titled "currently active super-ladies - meaning chicks currently active in comics, which obviously wouldn't really include catwoman because she's dead. (i've also not included the marvel ultimate universe cause for one i dont read it and all the characters are pretty much the same anyway)

from what i can tell, the X-Men movies take place in a reality seperate from the comics (like the cartoon x-men evolution), and it just so happens that the rogue in the movie was fifteen years old and named Marie, wheras the one in the marvel comics main universe hasn't publicly released her name yet.

when you take a closer look its obvious the movies dont take place in the primary reality of the marvel universe for the following reasons:

the primary universe Mystique has not undergone the change that made her skin take on a scales-like appearance.

the primary universe Wolverine is not Hugh Jackman's height

the primary universe Storm is six and a half feet tall and doesnt have an american accent

the primary universe Jean Grey took on the Phoenix force as a result of her nearly dying on a spacecraft after saving her team-mates when it buckled, not as a result of parting the waters to help the x-jet take off.

their ages are very different to the comic universe ones

the primary universe sabretooth isnt a dumb growling thing in a fur coat.

i enjoyed the films immensely but its best to treat them as a different entity to the comics or you're bound to get incredibly confused.

I didn't mean "out" that way :o (didn't she have some brief puppy-love thing going with a boy way back...? [I think he was also a mutant, and the relationship ended when he was killed, but I'm not sure on this.]) I was referring to the likelihood that an adult Shadowcat would likely be drawn rather... buxom, like most other fully grown super-females in comic books.

Of course, she's also been "out" as a Chicago Cubs (US baseball team) fan for as long as she's worn that little Star of David necklace - admitting to rooting for the Cubs, now that takes guts. ;)

ducks and runs from any Chicago Cub fans on the thread

[Cedric]

Yeah Mon, the same could be said about the Hp movies ;)

I think we should stop talking about comic books soon... This could go on forever :D

-Cedric

[ChianaWeasley]

I'm soooo confused!

I dont read comic books, we never really had the stores around here. I had a few...I know who catwoman is! :D

[Little Miss]

nah, shadowcat's being drawn as a pretty normal twenty-ish year old (or at least she was in her own title, god knows what they've done to her in New X-Men)

oh come on ced, comics are fun! there's always stuff to talk about with them and those of us who know what we're talking about can feel all smug and elite next to those who dont have a clue who or what we're talking about (:p Chiana)

spose its kind of off topic though... although nobody with mod powers over this forum seems to mind too much!

back on cartoons, d'ya think there'll be a harry potter cartoon to continue their adventures (or the adventures of other hogwarts students) when the books are all finished and everyone's either dead or idolised?

could be interesting viewing...

[Ravenclaw]

That would be a good idea and a bad idea at the same time... the harry potter thing. You know what I'm saying?

:o About the batgirl thing... I WAS a comic nut, but not for long, really. I know shadowcat, and do still like x-men evolution. I also, as ever, am an avid Spirderman fan. Those are really the only two I follow these days.

Yeah, I know there's all sorts of differences in the X-Men movie, but I just thought I'd say that.

[Cedric]

Okay, I guess we can keep talking about it, but only if we still talk about normal cartoons now and then :)

The thing about comics is that the artists change with time. No two artists are going to draw the same character the same way twice, which means that if a character is suppose to be one age, a certain artist might see it differently and draw them another way, giving the illusion of older/younger age. I never really cared about age or "physical development", just didn't see a point in worrying about that kinda stuff. The only thing I really notice is when they change the race of a character, like they did with Kingpin in DareDevil, which carried over to the new Spider-man cartoon on MTV. I'm not racist or anything, but changing something that big is just really weird.

-Cedric

[Little Miss]

hahahaha the kingpin thing was funny.

the latest issue of daredevil is the final fight between him and the kingpin, and each two fight frames is drawn by a different guest artist - its a weird idea but the effect is very good, both kingpin and daredevil are drawn different in each picture, as they have been portrayed over the years of the comic. utterly breathtaking.

speaking of the MTV spiderman cartoon, is it any good? i'm toying with the idea of downloading it cause it'll be ages till its on tv over here... but i wont bother if its rubbish.

EDIT: Ravenclaw lol its ok, not everyone is quite as devoid of a life as myself to know the ins and outs of the comic world...

and here's a great way of deciding if something is good or not:

take a key word out of the title of the thing you want to know is good or not, and say:

"I have a [insert key word here] in my pants"

so if you're deciding whether to watch, i dunno, Samurai Jack or Super friends, you just say, in sucession:

"I have a samurai in my pants"
and
"i have a super friend in my pants"

and whichever sounds best is the one you watch.

it works for other stuff too, give it a go!

[Cedric]

Wow http://mindscraps.com/s/ups/the_turtle/supasmsm0.gif..... That's, like, beyond profound :D

I think it's pretty good, it's cel-shaded, so that's different, but it is good. I'm not sure you'll be able to download it yet though, it's still pretty new. One interesting thing about it is how they depict different things, like they have Electro in one of the first episodes and he looks totally different from how he did in the comics.

-Cedric

[ChianaWeasley]

I really enjoy XMen:Generation
It did the original series justice
good animation
good plot
good characters

[Amberion]

Actually this mod is more a fan of comics than cartoons

But most of my favourite characters are not marvel or DC

Some of my favourites

Spawn


Zealot
Grifter
Voodoo from WildCATS

Sarah Rainmaker
Caitlin Fairchild from Gen13

WitchBlade

[Little Miss]

my current favourite comics are all Crossgen titles, but i do enjoy a bit of marvel, DC, vertigo, image and avatar now and again.

lets see...

"i have an electro in my pants"

that works, i'll be trying to downlod that episode at least!!!

the whole cel-shading thing started with Jet Set Radio (or Jet Grind Radio, whatever) and its been done to death since then... but its new to the cartoon world... could be interesting.

Jet Set Radio is one of the best games EVER (second only to space chanel 5)

you cant tell i'm a bitter dreamcast user, can you?

[Ravenclaw]

Games? Now there's my current forte. But that's way too off topic.

You know, I was just watching Secret Squirel. D'you know that cartoon?

yup, Secret Squirrel and Morocco Mole.. strange little fellows, but entertaining enough in their way! ;) :D

[Cedric]

I remember Secret Squirrel pretty well, wasn't it on with another show? Like they were mixed?

One of the best classic shows has to be UnderDog. I remember watching that show all the time.... That was so long ago.....

-Cedric

[ChianaWeasley]

Oh I couldn't stand UnderDog....maybe it had something to do with the big U on his chest....:p

I really liked Two stupid dogs, they play it sometimes though very rarely

[Cedric]

Ahhhhhhhhh.... Toon appreciation month is coming to a close, so I thought I'd get this out of the way now so I don't have to rush later.

As planned, this month was the one and only for the greatest appreciation of toons. So I wanna know, do you guys want me to leave this thread around, or should I close up shop as soon as the month ends?

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

Well, if we're going to have a new theme for September, you might as well close it. We close the Yule Ball every year!

[Cedric]

That's true... But I'm not sure I'll be able to come up with something else. Might be weird if we have something every month.

I'll try to think of something.

-Cedric

[Ravenclaw]

It's your thread, and your decision... Aw, so sad. Oh well, there's always next year.

You know one cartoon I like? Roger Rabbit.

[Cedric]

Okay, we're done here. Could I get a mod to close up shop, please?

Thanks.

-Cedric
