Lone Ranger Cartoon 1966 - The Human Dynamo! - Steampunk Action

[@diddymuck]

Absolutely the best Sat AM cartoon made!! professional radio actors did the voices, the tension building orchestration kept the story thrilling. And that artwork complete with action shots and some pretty durn scary life-death experiences. A masterpiece.

Seeing classic western characters, Tonto and the Ranger, fighting a technologically advanced super villain is just amazing. Thank you, '60s!

I vaguely remember these on Saturday morning back in 1966 and '67. But watching them now as an adult, I can appreciate the style of artwork used, very comicbook-like with heavy lines and shadows. The animation and colors was limited but the characters are all excellently drawn and when they're riding on horseback fast, it really flows great! This is probably my favorite episode of the series. The stories and the artwork is really well done. One other person described this as an animated version of 'The Wild, Wild, West' with various villains having mechanical machines and such. Fun to watch!

"Jonny Quest" creator Alex Toth said that until the advent of "Batman: The Animated Series", this was the best cartoon ever made for TV.

Terrific episode with unique looking animation for 1966 television.

The Lone Ranger is still my number 1 Saturday morning cartoon series. Tom Degrange

The Lone Ranger and Tonto always served justice when needed, these villians should know the Ranger would come for them , to be brought before justice

[@carl-rolfeheidelberg6615]

One of the Ranger And Tonto's best!

[@GlamRockCowboy]

The Ranger's knowledge of electrical engineering (as evidenced by his remark about "short circuiting the electro-condenser") shows that he was a well-educated man, most likely including at least a year or two in college.

[@lamonthamilton667]

To have been an Texas Ranger that is TRUE.

[@shadizersilverhand2113]

Got to love how the dial actually has an 'Evacuate' label on it.

[@badbarberbick]

One of my favorite!!

[@gallery7596]

Fascinating. I didn't know there was an animated Lone Ranger series.

[@g.b.23]

Great episode!

[@Pope6006]

This series was mature storytelling style instead of silly plot line as ah 64yr adult this series never gets old...this & wild wild west were describing untouchable!!!

[@phillyflash43]

The Ranger knew a lot about electronic devices, like condensors, back then

[@charlesaguilar1708]

phillyflash43 Hey, it was in the script buddy!

[@GlamRockCowboy]

IIRC, in the Lone Ranger's backstory, he had been to college in the Eastern US before returning to Texas and joining his older brother as a Texas Ranger. Thus, it would stand to reason that he would have at least some knowledge of science and engineering, including, in this case, electricity. Edison and Westinghouse were both doing research in the practical use of electricity during the 1870's and 1880's, so Volta's murderous devices would have been technically plausible at the time depicted by this story.

[@REDGOATcomicbooks.13]

I love lone ranger cartoons.

[@phillyflash43]

"Master of the heavens" and he couldn't even cure his male pattern baldness, lol...

[@Setebos]

Nice inconspicuous hideout he has there.

[@KeithDec25]

Once again that timeless question:"Who did the voice of this guest villain?" Sounds a little like Alan Reed the voice of Fred Flintstone?....

[@charlesaguilar8301]

+Keith Brown Hey bud! Great question and we're workin' on it!

[@diddymuck]

actually its Hans Conreid.

[@KeithDec25]

DM Thanks. listened again a couple of times and times at the start of the episode it sounded like Hans Conreid-but later on into the climax it sounded like Alan Reed...

[@rclaughlin]

I think Voltar's voice was supplied by Henry Corden.

[@KeithDec25]

Not to flip-flop but you could be correct also...Who knows? I really wish they had given these truly gifted artists the credit which was due them!

[@charlesaguilar1708]

Excellant episode!! Now,if you'd post the Mole man episode,that'd be great!!

[@carl-rolfeheidelberg6615]

+Charles Aguilar It posted yesterday.

[@mikernoehazy9419]

...I think the villain's voice was Hans Conreid...

[@fromthesidelines]

Henry Corden. Hans was more flamboyant with his voices.

[@charlescameron6017]

Yes, basically Hans Conreid's voiceovers are all the same voice, Hans'!

[@charlescameron6017]

@John Pulaski, I'll have to go with Barry Grauman on this one that it is indeed Henry Corden. If you put the face to the voice and watch his five appearances on Hogan's Heroes, you'll hear Volta's voice hiding in there, especially where he plays Colonel Klink's old acquaintance, the Blue Baron! It's funny that you mentioned Alan Reed, as Corden took over the voice of Fred Flintstone since Reed's death in 1977. Checking Internet Movie Database, it's incredible to see how many incarnations of The Flintstones there have been in movies, TV shows, video games, commercials etc. One last unusual note; a quote of the sort that we don't usually hear - sentimental and humorous: "My big hobby is my family. That's it. I don't know how long I've got to go, and whatever time I have, I want to get the pleasure of my children, of my grandchildren and of my wonderful, wonderful wife. We walk down the street hand in hand and people look at us, this old bastard and this good-looking chick. We get smiles all over the place. That's enough for me...THAT'S my hobby." Henry Corden
