Donkey Kong intro 1983

this is the intro for donkey kong part of saturday supercade

[@d-manthecaptain1382]

It's like if a 1969 Hanna Barbera cartoon time traveled to the 80's.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

More like a mid 70's HB cartoon.

[@rayqwanedmondson]

And dir by ruby spears

[@jamcal8086]

I love how carefree DK/Cranky is in this lmao

[@abhilashchembil7155]

My Childhood favourite cartoon. I miss those days 😭

[@drixg555]

Where Are They Now: Mario went to work with his brother Luigi as part of a demolition crew before they started their own plumbing business. The rest as they say was history. Pauline had a music career before being elected as Mayor of New Donk City. Donkey Kong Sr. and Jr. finally reunited and returned home to Donkey Kong Country where Sr. became know as Cranky Kong after he retired.

[@saltystick_99]

And nobody knows what became of Jr....

[@Rgoid]

@@saltystick_99He became the current DK’s dad (If you accept that Cranky is DK’s grandpa)

[@Stabbyhara]

This whole thing is such a fascinating relic to me. It honestly looks 20 years older than it actually is. Early Nintendo stuff, man

[@SoshiTheYoshi]

I love that I always think of this show when people just say “The Donkey Kong Cartoon.” I feel that same way with Pac-Man since I always think of the HB cartoon.

[@yasmineharris6483]

Is Saturday supercade made by Hanna Barbera?

[@SoshiTheYoshi]

No, it was Ruby Spears. Hanna-Barbera did Pac-Man a year prior.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

@@SoshiTheYoshi It's too easy to get the two studios mixed-up: Ruby-Spears was founded in 1977 by Joe Ruby (1933-2020) and Ken Spears (1938-2020) who used to work at Hanna-Barbera. The two studios came under common ownership in 1981, when Ruby-Spears' original parent company Filmways (the TV studio that did The Beverly Hillbillies and Addams Family in the '60s) sold the cartoon studio to Taft Broadcasting (which owned H-B since 1966).

[@Goat0423]

The new Mario Odyssey DLC is looking great

[@thepeternetwork]

I remember this. The success of the Pac-Man cartoon led to lots of other video game-inspired SatAM series like Saturday Supercade, Pole Position (which played as more of an action/adventure cartoon), and Dragon's Lair, which was also made by the same animation studio that did SSC.

[@JRodHacker]

why do I get the feeling this should have been a nostalgia critic review? oh well. lol

[@DunkleCobro]

What an interesting find! I guess we'll have to add "Donkey Kong" to the list of Mario related Cartoons!

[@Demonstryke13]

This would be nice to find on DVD!!!

[@UnshornKeyboardist]

I love this intro

[@asdatescosains700]

0:17 reminds me of 'PAC MAN'.

[@ItsNotakin]

0:00 OMG TACO MAN PLAYS A VIDEO GAME SONG ORIGINAL!!!!!!!

[@marcjoseph9448]

I actually own a copy of the intro on 16mm film.

[@vivaldireal1741]

Gotta fucking love how Peter Cullen was in this.

[@mikedski9698]

Peter Cullen As Mario.

[@waffleliberty89]

Doooonkey koooooong

[@supermariologanfan6546]

At least we have DKC show

[@luigiman2261]

The only show where mario is the bad guy

[@PabloToonimations]

and the 2nd time Donkey Kong was the good guy, the first being in the donkey Kong Jr game.

[@morganpaulree557]

[@s.b.7987]

I guess Cranky was a star

[@MikeBisasam]

BANANA SLAMMA!

[@peepsg]

Cranky: YOU KNUCKLEHEAD! GET THE CRYSTAL COCONUT!

[@CiampaGiuseppe8]

Donkey Kong before he became cool

[@Nin_tony]

daaawneeky kaaawwnnggngng *jolly music*

[@CarbyGuuGuu]

Before the expansion

[@shizyninjarocks]

When's the Blu-ray release?

[@belldn3]

Remember seeing this on Saturday mornings and being so disappointed by it, didn't do the arcade game justice. The DKjr cartoon was slightly better, but that's not saying much. Both cartoons were dumbed down way too much. DK was just horrendous.

[@MagmaDashE]

Is it me or are the characters "pixellated" before they hit the ground?

[@JG_DeadColor]

poor pepe...

[@tonyj9091]

I want this dvd and its a fake dvd i find of it online

[@bartek8309]

Soooooooooo theat's where the parody dubs got the idea of making fun of the heroes

[@Densester]
