BIKER MICE FROM MARS (1993) - Fiction Addiction

[@FictionAddiction]

What was your favorite TMNT style show as a kid? Is the Biker Mice sequel series from 2006 any good? Should I cover it? Let me know in the comments!

[@HB136591]

First off, I sadly didn't have a favorite TMNT style show when I was young. Sailor Moon and anything like that was the thing for me. Second, the sequel is baaaadd or at least I thought so when I saw it back in 2018. It actually felt dumber than the 90's show so that feels like a bad sign. The only thing I did like was how different Vinnie and Murdoc looked (but they shrunk down Throttle which made me mad) and that it had a ongoing plot about how the mice had to find their old mentor who was hiding on earth with a machine that could terraform mars into a better place. Well after seeing this video I think I'm going to rewatch some episodes and maybe re-read some VinniexCharley fanfics

[@lostpony4885]

I didnt find them until my second childhood but Exo Squad!

[@the_flyattractor8656]

I would say Yes. You should check out the 2006 Series, but I recommend Strongly that you go in with LOW EXPECTATIONS! Fun Vid!

[@MrKaiju-sr8wu]

i'd say the 2003 TNMT series was my favorite, and it still holds up extremely well today! It had solid animation, good writing, awesome action, and easily one of the scariest animated villains i've ever seen in its version of Shredder.

[@billymountiii5788]

Esh, I really want you to do a video on the 2006 sequel series. I really want to that.

[@wiibrockster]

Confession: Modo was my first crush as a kid. He was everything I wanted to be: big and strong yet kind and polite.

To answer your question about Chicago and hotdogs, Chicago actually has it's own style of hotdog that is considered a signature food of the city that can trace its roots back to the Great Depression (the style referred to as "dragged through the garden" due to the large number of toppings added). There's even a bit of a rivalry between Chicago style hotdogs vs New York style ones.

[@adventarchivist5789]

15:29 Answer: Yes!!! Hot dogs are extremely famous in Chicago. Usually being served with the works, such as pickles, yellow mustard, and celery salt.

[@jeremytung1632]

That “watch the merchandise” but got me good.

[@themaccave08]

That scene where Vinnie just straight tells Charley to turn around and let him see the back made me realize more of what this shows demographic is. I mean there was a scene where two of the the rodents were completely shirtless.

[@nielsklarenberg5871]

You saw the video too? Too bad you didn't share which demographic you mean, it's almost as if you don't care at all xD.

It was also from the 90's...a lot of kids shows did this. I mean come on.."Hellooooo nurse"? Even the animaniacs did that.

[@stargazertomura2708]

I grew up on the reboot in 2006 which lead me to the original after and i love it dearly! Kinda helps i myself ride motorcycles too lol. Out of them all, growing up, Throttle was my favorite and still is to this day.

[@kencoleman5007]

Loved the show during it's first run. Didn't catch the reboot. Chicago has a very distinct hot dog style. Topped with yellow mustard, chopped white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomatoand a dash of celery salt. Chicagoan Social Media creator Greg Miller even named his dachshund after a local hot dog restaurant.

[@faishiro5009]

had to make sure someone mentioned it lol also thank you Fiction Addiction for reminding me I have veggie corn dogs.

21:18 And the hedgehogs never came close to finding their mother due to the show being cancelled after only one season. And no the online fan made comic doesn't count!

[@Reapermaskhybrid]

It took me a minute to realize Carbuncle's voice is the same actress who plays Wuya from Xiaolin Showdown. When I first connected the dots, I shouted "Holy crap!"

[@thegayghost872]

Man, this is aggressively 90s. I love it

[@lazycat66]

Oh man, I *loved* the Biker Mice! Definitely one of my all time favorite cartoons from my childhood. I watched every single episode. Only once. Watched some episodes twice years later. I still remember it so well, as if I had watched it several times, it really left a mark in me. A good mark.

[@InukeTrolls]

Having heard how much you love the BMFM, I HIGHLY suggest you never taint your eyes with the sequel series. It is straight up horrible. Loved the video though and always glad to see people talking about this show!

[@Theturtleowl]

Hell yeah! My brother and I had the first 3 episodes on VHS and I loved it. This was the pinnacle of cool to me, although the other girls in school did not relate.

[@neganick]

I definitely need to check this out. That 90's style animation will always hold a special place in my heart! Great video!

[@davidblaising-wimmer9972]

Welp that’s it adding this show to my binge list with high priority.

[@derrickhaggard]

This show along with Cowboys of Moo Mesa, Swat Kats, Street Sharks, King Arthur and the Knights of Justice, and Extreme Dinosaurs made up most of the cartoons I watched in the 90s and I still like them.

[@madisonlynn2419]

I love this review!!! ❤ As a relatively new fan to Biker Mice From Mars I can gladly say I adore it!! I love the snappy and witty dialogue, the characters, and all the hidden lore that’s hinted at throughout the show!! When I got to the origins episode I literally couldn’t help but go OH MY GOD?? Throttle is my favorite character mostly cuz of his voice and badass design! I guess I’m a sucker for stoic leaders 🤣 Overall I’m super excited for this series to get its resurgence in the mainstream soon!! 😊

[@nathanforester5993]

Yes, yes yes....this has definitely made my day. It's one of the cartoons I am obsessed with to this day and i'm proud to be part of the fandom. Also the official soundtrack for the show, there are some seriously slamming tunes on there. Karbunkle happens to be voiced by a woman as well.

[@BlakeIvory]

Yes, Chicago is very well known for Hot Dogs, everywhere you look you'll see high quality stops for famous Chicago Dogs.

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

I thought Deep Dish pizza was their thing.

[@_NIKOS9_NIKOS]

So the protagonists are mice and the villains are named after cheese? It's hard to believe that it was the cheese that won the war

[@InugamiTheHound]

this show just like many other 90s shows is kept alive by nostalgia and rule 34 and folks hoping their will be live action version.

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

15:35 actually Chicago is more known for it's Deep Dish Pizza. I think Hot Dogs are more of a New York or Boston thing.

[@alexlemonds2838]

Cheesy? Yes, but, that doesn't mean it's not still enjoyable. For example: I love the 80s Transformers cartoon. Compared to later TF incarnations like BW & IDW does it seem much sillier? Of course. But it's a fun, entertaining show nonetheless.

[@ImpetuouslyInsane]

12:58 As a member of Ghostbusters: Chicago Division who has been to several comic book conventions that crossed over with such things... You ain't far from the truth, chief.

Biker Mice from Mars was my childhood! The toys,the lunchbox and hell I even had Biker Mice underwear!

[@brendonwelsh-mccarthy9186]

I actually did watch the 2006 Biker Mice. I liked the theme song and I remember bits and peices I liked and dropped off like at the beginning of the cyber world arc. Not because of the show's quality I just lost cable

[@marywallace3620]

You know, it's rare for a kids cartoon aimed primarily at boys to write a girl character who is as tough as the primary male characters and it even more rarer is not somehow sexualizing the said female character and writing her decently

[@92JazzQueen]

To answer you question, Chicago is famous for it's Chicago dogs. You should so try them.

Still can't believe Yakko Warner can do serious(ish) roles.

Remember the cartoon in the time when they transmited in Azteca 7 in saturday in the same space with Saint Seiya. Bonus points when the voice from the intro have the Great Master and Vinnie is the voice of Seiya

Biker mice from mars is my all time favourite cartoon EVER. I still watch it today and I always read fan fiction on BMFM. And Vinnie is always my favourite. And I still think Charlie and Vin should get together but that's just me.... Limburger and Karlbunkal I think are funny and Fred the mutant is underrated. I think Stoker should of been in the show more and Rimfire.

This show has cult status in finland. Dub cast had only 6 voices but they were all-star cast. Script was change with more regional accent, finnish famous people and even more adult jokes. It had only 3 cassette release here but it was syndicated later at hd edition regular and cable channel years later. We can only hope for dvd release. The new series in my opinion is not so great and most old fans agree.

While I usually detest toy-driven cartoon, I have to admit that this one doesn't seem as bad by comparison. In fact, I'd say that this show seems like it was held back from being a solid classic *because* it was riding the Ninja Turtles copycat train. The title of the series alone reeks of "rip-off", but it's apart from having their own April O'Neil, it's not terribly copy-heavy. Frankly, the fact that they're anthropomorphized mice is probably the weakest part of the show. They're from Mars, make them full on Martian aliens with unique designs not based on an Earth animal, and they'd probably look a lot cooler, and I think less people would dismiss this show. Get rid of those irritating try-hard voices that characters like Carbuncle have, give them non-animal Martian alien designs, maybe fix a couple dumb jokes, and you might have had the only toy-driven cartoon that I would give a passing grade to.

so what your saying is that Limburger is a republican.

[@catspaw3092]

The 2006 version is not all that great first off the change the look of the mice from their hot muscled version to scrawny ragged rat versions of themselves so even when the original voice cast lends their voices it doesn't match the mice's new looks. And Modo's badass chopper bike is turned into a three wheeled piece of shit bike the only thing I liked was their helmets which looked very cool & different. Had they kept the bros old looks but modernized them add the new helmets & the mice would've looked even hotter. As for the new villains it was pretty dumb there's a human villain helping aliens take over his planet basically he's betraying his own race whereas as Limburger was helping his people & planet like the Martian mice are. Another reason why Limburger had more going for him as a villain he had a purpose & reason for doing the dirty shit he was doing & he was charming & charismatic. As for the reason the mice don't want Charley in their fights is actually mainly due to the freedom fighters losing one of their own to the rats. Mace was a rat sent to spy on the mice so he disguised himself as a mouse but honestly how the mice couldn't tell Mace wasn't an actual mouse because the mice are telepathic hence their antennas is beyond me. Harley who Vinnie developed feelings for was the freedom fighters mechanic, inventor & medic when the mice thought their fight was over Mace kidnapped Harley & they never saw her again until the 2006 show. After losing Harley the guys saw the same thing in Charley when they meet her she was their Harley only human which explains why Vinnie flirts so heavily with her he even called her Harley by accident. But Charley forgives him but ever wonder behind the scenes how angry & annoyed Charley gets when Vinnie calls her Harley more than once? I would rather Vinnie be with a new girl that doesn't remind him of his old love Charley even though she's more sassy, a better mechanic is too much like Harley plus she probably wants a more serious relationship which is why I would rather see her with Modo or Throttle. Vinnie's too wild, flirtacious, arrogant & a bit of a jerk despite his good nature underneath but that's the real reason the bros don't want Charley getting involved in their battles. But what they fail to see is that this is Charley's fight too the Plutarkians are trying to suck her planet dry until it ends up in the same state as Mars so she has every right to join the bros since it's clear Charley is the brains of the group just like Throttle is. As for Harley in the 2006 show she's joined the rats believing the mice didn't bother to look for her but they did in the original Modo said they came close to finding Harley but were unsuccessful but why hadn't she tried to find her people especially Vinnie? Almost her entire face though is horribly scarred so she wears a mask. Later on she uses a control device on Vinnie to turn him into her slave & forces him to turn on his bros, people & planet it was Charley who got through to Harley that what she was doing to Vinnie was wrong. So Harley removes the device freeing Vinnie an explosion happens & Harley is gone once again leaving Vinnie heartbroken but chances are she's still alive because we see her mask on the ground. But really if they do a continuation of the show again hopefully Vinnie tells Harley that what they could've had is over he's chosen to move on & has a new love hopefully not Charley. But yeah go ahead & review the new show I love to hear your input on it.
