Cartoons? Spongebob was one of my favorites as a kid, other than that I don't really favor anything in the "saturday morning cartoon" section.

Watched Spongebob as a kid?! Man, now I really do feel old.... :sweat:

I have dabbled with stop motion and considering how hard I found it, I have a lot of respect for animators.

Interesting. I've tried playing around with stopmotion myself and found that space and lighting are the biggest problems besides needing a decent camera.

youtube is blocked at work so can't see if these have been mentioned but here are my fav cartoons:

  • Voltron
  • Danger Mouse
  • TMNT
  • He Man
  • Transformers
YES! Danger Mouse!

Great list by the way. :thumbsup:

I have not heard of Danger Mouse..  I knew of Danger Mouse (well, I mostly read the comics)

Gatchaman / G-Force, 2 versions per your preference ;)

Speaking of Gatchaman, the Tatsunoko vs Capcom game on Wii is a great little gem.  The only place you can have Ken the Eagle fighting Frank West (Dead Rising) or Jun the Swan vs Megaman

Are you f**king kidding me?!

LET'S GO, GHOOOOOOSTBUSTERS!!!! :biggrin:

There isn't a single day that goes by without me remembering that great cartoon. Prime Evil was a great villian and his tiny cohort Brat-a-Rat was a kick. It's funny how Tracy the gorilla was still the smartest of them all being a member of the original team from the live action series that came before the cartoon.

Well, I've already mentioned these elsewhere just cause the tunes are awesome but here goes.

This series was so not even close to what the blue bomber deserved but at least the intro was cool.

Well, you missed Captain Planet:

That was one I didn't get to watch very often due to some numbskull at the station felt like changing the timeslot about every other weekday it seemed.

As for the not so PG version of it (fair warning !!)

Strangely enough, I had caught that just a couple days earlier. "Recycle, or I'll turn you into a f**king tree!" :laugh:

Well, here are my 'counter clips'.

I used to like this, because they mixed up all the Hanna Barbera characters and threw them all into one show:

Don't. It's not so much you being old as it is me being young (I was "a kid" only a couple years ago, so no sweat)  :D

 

I love this thread!

Here is my personal best cartoon of the 90s:

 

Batman: The Animated Series

One of the best depictions of Batman in any media.  Gotham was as dark as it should be.  Batman was smart, decisive, grim, and tough but yet fair.  The voice actings were superb and the musical scores helped build up the athmosphere.  The storyline was engaging and "grown up" oriented without being too complicated.

This was the show that introduced Harley Quinn to the world.  The character was so popular, the character was added to the mainstream Batman comics based on the show (usually it is the other way around)

This Batman was the base of the other DC animated shows that came after it (Justice League, Batman Beyond, etc)

I would rather watch this version of Batman than any other versions, real life or otherwise

 

The opening theme is so badass, it does not need to show the series title. Yet you know it is time for Batman

By the way, for the SW fans, Mark Hamill played the Joker in this series

Tigersharks and Thundercats were favorites of mine, along with GI Joe, He Man, Voltron, etc.

 

A couple of older school ones I like when I was a wee lad - Snorks, Shirt Tales, and the Get a Long Gang.  I also have a soft place in my heart for the Gummi Bears cartoon.

 

Disney after-school toons will not be forgotten, either.  Along with Duck Tales (mentioned previously), there were Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers and Tale Spin.

 

And Batman: The Animated Series was really good, too.

I been going to the movies since about 1957, now back then and up to the 80's most theaters just gave you a plain movie ticket, just like a raffle ticket, Not until the Lowe's, AMC, Regal and a few other major Movie Chains came around, there Ticket Stubbs had the Movie, date etc on it, Thats when I started Saving mine, and if the movie was in 3D I Put the ticket on the glasses with a Rubber Band I usually see about 100 or so movies a year. Alot of people think this is stupid and alot of people I told do it now, So you take your 7 year old son to see Superman in 3D, well save the glasses with the Movie Ticket and what other movies your kids see or what you see, and in 20-30 years or so will love looking at those old movie stubbs. If it sounds stupid and a waste of time well don't do it, plus you might have the 2 ticket stubbs of you and your girlfriend or wife of your first date or so, Plus I also have a wall Calendar for each year where I put where I saw the movie and rate it 1-4 Stars. As of now the Best 3D Movie is Avatar in IMAX, and if you ever get chance to see Friday The 13th Part in 3D at a Theater go see. There are only about 5 Theaters in the US that can show it the way it was in 1983. It has to be the old Theater, not the newer Theaters, so Check the picture below.   Ed

I don't do this (I don't go to the theatre as much as I would like), but it actually sounds like a smart and reflective hobby to remember the movies you've seen. So many people seem to just treat movies as "in the moment" events, but it's so much better to let them stay with you and get the underlying moral (and with the ratings you can remember whether its worth watching again if you forgot). Great hobby! What is the earliest stub in your collection?

My wife and I have kept all our ticket stubs since our first date 7 years ago. It's fun to take some time to look through them and reminisce. They serve almost like a timeline of our relationship. We also keep stubs from theme parks, sports events, conventions, etc. It's grown into a quite hefty collection lol.

Ed, I saw Avatar in 3D and it was the most incredible and stunning movie visually I've ever seen.  I actually saw it in a 3D IMAX and my head nearly exploded.  Absolutely jaw dropping...

 

I also saw Mission: Impossible 4 Ghost Protocol at a 3D IMAX and it was surprisingly entertaining.  I would recommend it.

I rarely see movies in the theater but I did keep the ticket stubs for the movie (Transformers) I saw with my girlfriend on our first date. Awful film, but at least our relationship didn't turn out that bad. I think the stubs have a decent amount of sedimental value to us at this point.

@emazers That's an awesome collection. Also, you are super organized.

 

I've kept some of my movie tickets, here and there. Mostly I keep them for the memory/person associated with the movie (like many of you). It's nice to look back and remember what your life was like from a different point in your life.
