Like a lot of people my age, my first introduction to Space Ghost was through the Coast to Coast late night talk show on Cartoon Network. Shortly after that began airing, they started to rerun the classic Space Ghost action cartoon shorts from 1966 (or, at least, I began to notice them). Although I loved […]

In 1991, director Paul Berry animated this dark and unnerving stop-motion short film which would go on to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Film, Animated. In my humble opinion, the Sandman should have won the award, as it is genuinely an amazing piece of work. The atmosphere, music and technical sophistication […]

Batman the Animated Series, created by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini, began in 1992. Eventually, it spawned its own extensive universe of DC comics-related animated fiction, including Superman the Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Static Shock and Justice League among other shows. Over ten year later, they created Justice League Unlimited, the pinnacle of a decade’s […]

After Spider-Man & his Amazing Friends but before Saban’s X-Men the Animated Series, there was this single pilot episode. Some of you may fondly remember it, while others may not have a clue. Either way, it’s one of the few genuine animated adaptations of the Claremont/Byrne era of the Uncanny X-Men, and animated […]

One of the strongest and most intelligent works of animation to come from American shores, and from Mtv, no less. The Maxx remains one of the best comic books I’ve ever read and one of the best cartoons I’ve ever watched. If you recall the show, then perhaps you’d like to stroll down […]

One of the most forgotten and underrated chapters in the history of Mattel’s He-Man character will be making its way to DVD on Dec. 26th…right *after* Christmas.
The New Adventures of He-Man was a departure from the classic Filmation He-Man series, with more dynamic Japanese animation and a different setting. The only classic He-Man characters […]

One of the best cartoons I’ve ever watched, Spawn the series still holds up after nearly 10 years. Definately the best thing the Spawn franchise has to offer, improving on practically everything that made the comic book enjoyable. If you’ve never had the pleasure of watching it, then give it a shot. […]

I’m a sucker for cartoons and countdown lists, so naturally, I found this article over at IGN to be rather interesting. The selection of shows is quite good (thank God someone else remembers the Maxx besides me), though I can’t say I totally agree with the numbering. Not a chance King of the […]

Did you know, that back in the 80’s and early 90’s, all the animated shows produced to market Hasbro toys were part of an interconnected “Universe”; a single continuity? With most of the shows having been written by the same group of people (Marvel/Sunbow, for the most part), this shouldn’t come as much of a […]

Some of you may be familiar with the popular webtoon, Pucca. Well, in case you haven’t heard, Pucca has just received its own animated series which now runs on Toon Disney. You can check out my full review of the new show, Right Here!
To my surprise, it’s more than just the webtoons just […]

Anybody remember this show? Well, I sure do, and I got the box set to prove it. A bit on the quality-challenged side, I must confess, but if you enjoyed the show back in 1990 then you might want to check it out.

COPS was an animated series produced […]

I may be a little late with my review of this DVD box set, but on the off chance some of you have yet to check it out, you might want to save your time and money.

Although it pains me to say this, the Super Mario Bros Super Show […]

Chances are you don’t remember them, but there were actually 2 seasons of G.I. Joe produced after G.I. Joe the Movie. These seasons, produced by DiC as opposed to Sunbow, are of debatable quality.
However, the initial miniseries, “Operation: Dragonfire”, which picked up right where the Movie left off, was actually pretty enjoyable. If […]

There are many notable and exceptional voice actors within the field of animation, but few with the range and extensive resume of Frank Welker. “Who is Frank Welker,” you ask? Well, you may not recognize his name but if you’ve watched cartooned beween 1970 and now, there’s a 100% chance you’ve heard his […]

The Sonic the Hedgehog animated series which ran for two seasons on ABC saturday mornings (hence the “SatAM” tag used by the fandom) will be arriving on DVD at long last come early 2007. For those who don’t remember well-enough, this was the Sonic the Hedgehog animated series which borrowed the storyline of the […]

Fulfilling Yogurt’s prophecy of unstoppable marketing, (according to CNN and Variety) Spaceballs will be getting an animated series in Fall of 2007!
The first season will consist of a 1-hour pilot and 13 subsequent episodes and will be airing exclusively on G4-TechTV. Creator Mel Brooks will be heavily involved with the animated series, penning the […]
