Everyone remembers Count Duckula... Seeing as he had Marvel comics, they need to make him part of the MCU

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

Well, Howard the Duck is also a Marvel character. but he's only a brief cameo character in the MCU and that's probably for the best. Count Duckula would be a more interesting character however. I mean, if Danger Mouse can get a reboot on Netflix, why not give Duckula a comeback?

[@OtterlyInsane]

@@Cyberbrickmaster1986 Howard had his own (terrible) movie. The Count needs his own,

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

@@OtterlyInsane I agree. He's not quite forgotten about if there are still people talking about him, so it only makes sense for him to come back. I mean, Netflix already brought back Danger Mouse, though I haven't seen that cartoon, so I can't tell if it's good or not.

Oh, god... I do remember Bravestarr. Space and cowboys were two of the coolest things ever back then. As well as ninjas and pirates and Arnold Schwarzenegger. But I do remember getting that Bravestarr horse for Christmas and my eyes filled with tears and I were just so happy to get a horse. But this one could stand on two legs and fire a big gun. Now that's a horse, I'll tell you. It's not a doll horse is a action figure horse dammit.

Bravestarr is perhaps the most underrated cartoon of the 80's, I'd even rate it better than MOTU.

[@finkwood]

I found full episodes on KZbin during the pandemic. I knocked out hours of them during the two weeks I was out of work.

[@mightyfilm]

Filmation hit this series HARD. It was easily their best animation and design out of all their series. Sure, it still had stock footage, rotoscoping, and lots of close ups, but just overall, a great presentation. Plus, they really managed to get away with some very sharp writing. An anti-drug episode that wasn't afraid to have a kid OD, a Christmas Carol episode that was basically character development for one of the main villains. I was pleasantly surprised by the series since I've discovered it. Though it wasn't the project that shuttered Filmation, that would be the AWFUL "Happily Ever After" Snow White movie.

[@Locomamonk]

Yeah, it was quite popular in latin america. I remember seeing it quite often on tv, not a bad show.

[@Dinobolt1]

I definitely rank it higher. I never saw MOTU when I was a kid and I only saw a couple episodes of Bravestarr but wasn't impressed. Then I watched Fiction Addiction's review of the pilot movie and thought it was worth checking out. I loved it and the 5 bonus "best of" episodes they included with it enough to buy the whole series. MOTU still ahs its moments, but the 2003 version is the best and is what really got me into the franchise.

[@kenthuang436]

@mightyfilm Actually the Snow White movie isn’t what doomed the studio. It was the Pinocchio movie and how badly that thing flopped. I personally think the Snow White movie is a passable movie with a slightly better plot and better voice acting and songs than Pinocchio. I mean having the princess in a fairy tale movie is a rather interesting concept that you rarely see in any type of media. This is why it is always so interesting when Princess Peach actually becomes a playable character in any Mario game and gets to help save the day for once. Pinocchio was basically the same story all over again with only a few changes and substitutions and Twinkle who was extremely meh for being called “the most beautiful puppet in the world.”

[@ari-dynamicarchive]

I'm gonna be perfectly frank; while I'm familiar with some of these, I gotta admit my favorite Cosgrove/Hall production is Wind in the Willows. Not that it needs a game but that show is comfy and relaxing from start to finish.

[@OnlyEpicEmber]

I used to love that show

[@kanedaku]

iirc there was a Spectrum or CPC game of it!!

[@SwiftNimblefoot]

Bravestarr was frankly, far better written than She-ra or He-Man. it tackled some serious themes even, like racism, drugs, even killing by accident in the line of duty! Y'd be surprised.

Exosquad was AWESOME. They toy line also had a ton of Robotech/Macross toys in it.

[@thisithis]

​@@Dorelaxen That was actually Playmates here in the US. See Playmates got the license to Robotech and Exosquad and without telling Harmony Gold or Universal Studios what they were really doing Playmates merged the two toylines to save money. And that bizarre FASA Corporation the creators of BattleTech tabletop game lawsuit on Playmates witch FASA loss. But basically throughout the lawsuit Playmates told FASA that Universal Studios owns the license to Exosquad, not Playmates, Playmates got the license because they were going to have a toy called Exoforce but canned it when Universal Studios was coming out with a show called Exoforce but renamed it Exosquad instead.

I do actually remember Bangers and Mash as a young child. In fact, I remember them before I remembered they were named after an iconic UK dish, not being familiar with it until I got older. I've also heard of the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes franchise, but wasn't aware of the helicopter crash being a real thing behind the scenes. I do remember the mad scientist was played by the original actor behind Gomez from The Addams Family, and at the end of pretty much every film, he would always ruin a happy ending by saying he'll be back in the sequel, regardless of whether he died or not.

Silverhawks and Thundercats were made by the same animation studio, and I think they intended them to be in the same setting. As an aside, if you're an anime weeb, there's references to both of them in the form of pinball tables in the Megazone 23 OVA.

Here is an obscure one for you - Dino City! I saw the SNES game in stores and saw one poster of the movie, but it was never brought to Hungary, or most of Europe. Even today, crappy VHSrips of it is all that we have. They did make a surprisingly complex platformer on this obscure weird little movie about time-travelling kids helping out anthro dinosaurs against evil cavemen, though. I gotta hand it to you, I have seen Muzzy in Gondoland but Bangers and Mash? Never heard of it! More obscure than even Avenger Penguins. I did know the others - in fact, Bravestarr is kinda pretty well known among MOTU and Filmation fans, being built on the same formula but perfected. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes I still remember to this day, ironically, only saw the movies well after the show. And Count Duckula had a brief return to fame in the new Danger Mouse show recently.

Bravestarr was a genuinely good show for the time. Arguably Filmation's best.

When I was a child I was a huge fan of a TV-cartoon called "Captain N: The Game Master" - it's the opposite... a bunch of video games turned into a single cartoon. Some kid (and his dog too!) are sucked into his TV into a world called Videoland and has to fight all kinds of fun enemies like Mother Brain, Eggplant Wizard, and so on. His allies are Game Boy, Simon Belmont, Kid Icarus, some princess, and other notable game heroes.

[@Grey_Warden_Invasion]
