Saturday morning 80s cartoons. What's favorite? Which one(s) would you recommend to someone starting out as great examples of the "80s style"? Which ones are most missable?
>He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
>G. I. Joe
>Transformers
>Voltron
>Thundercats
>Silverhawks
>Tigersharks
>Jem
>Gobots
>Bravestarr
>Mighty Orbots
>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
>Visionaries
>>
>>152995058
Personally I'd recommend Thundercats. It has some of the most unique characters and an interesting far-future science fantasy setting.
>>
>>152995058
>Visionaries
Oh wow, I rarely see this one on anyone's list. It's a lot more obscure than most of the others, which is a shame because it's actually really good.

The trials of magic was a great introduction story but the action figure-standard-recharge-vehicle toyetic fusion is too heavy-handed, even for a kid's show.

I really like how the evil guys are representations of bad personality aspects (like greed, anger, cowardice) and really lean into it with their powers, weapons and standards.

These are some musts
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Inspector Gadget
The Real Ghostbusters
Heathcliff

Apart from the loli, what's so good about this show? It just seems like silly episodic hijinks.

It's funny hearing the same voice actors in Visionaries as in Transformers. Like, here's the bearded warrior but actually he's STARSCREAM in disguise!

The bad guys are a real treat in this show. If they could get along, the good guys wouldn't stand a chance... but it wouldn't be nearly as entertaining.
>>
>>152995058
The first five titles in your post are considered the greats of the decade. TMNT started. in the 80's but really hit its stride into the early 90's, alongside the massive success of the movie. Considering all the titles you already noted I'd only add Captain N the Game Master, Thundarr, and Muppet Babies. Muppet Babies especially gets overlooked nowadays because Disney buried the show over legal disputes.

Also worth noting
>Gobots is much better than people give it any credit for.
>Rambo The Force of Freedom is such a great GI Joe clone it might actually be better than ARAH
>Wuzzles is the best looking Care Bears copycat
>Ruby Spears is generally overlooked for no good reason
>>
Jem is really, really good
>>
>>152995815
NTA but that is literally it. The wacky adventures of bionic Inspector Clouseau and his cute niece and dog. It's a fun watch but it can be too repetitive if you aim to marathon it. Same with Beetlejuice TAS.
>>
>>152996697
All the sunbow shows suffer from that quirk unfortunately. It's especially jarring in Inhumanoids.
>Optimus Prime is a tree
>Starscream is a rotting skeleton demon
>Megatron is both the big bad CEO guy and the inhumanoid great evil imprisoned within the center of the earth
>>
>>152997193
Same here. I think it would genuinely mindbreak modern animators to produce something this pleasant to look at. Over the years a dozen shows with the aims to mock the aesthetics of the era have come and gone, and none of them ever look right. Major Laser, Saturday Morning All Star Hits, Community, etc etc. They always fail at nailimg these aesthetics.

>>152995058
I'd go with Dungeons and Dragons for a general recommendation, Bravestarr or C.O.P.S. for a toyline series, and Jem as a conditional recommendation.

It's honestly a shame it didnt pan out beyond the 13 episodes because I adore every second of that show. The fact that the toys are so fragile and rare these days hurts me alot too. Inhumanoids is just too based for this gay earth and they had to old yeller the series early. If you have the time I cant recommend it enough.

For years now people have discussed the rights issues behind the show. It is largely believed that Marvel retained a bigger share of the rights than Hasbro. Recently however I've seen some argue we're approaching the expiry date for alot of those copyrights. Others insisting they may have expired already. It'd be interesting to see somebody just throw caution to the wind and make something with these characters again.
>>
>>152998678
>Gobots is much better than people give it any credit for
Yes, but most people give it credit for a 3/10 show while in reality it's a 6/10 show.

>Rambo The Force of Freedom is such a great GI Joe clone it might actually be better than ARAH
I find this hard to believe and would need proof.
>>
I was watching Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors recently. It's a decent show, cool setting of evil plant-bioweapons, average voice-acting and characters, terrible and weird vehicles that make no sense. Best part is the weird space locations and monsters they encounter, it's like a bizarre space opera.
>>
M.A.S.K. can be fun but it's a slog to marathon through especially when you realize that it honest to god does not have character focus episodes

Repostan my thoughts from a similar thread years back
>Transformers
Animation error galore but still a fun time
Not my favorite iteration of the series but I can get the appeal to those who value it nostalgiacally
>GI Joe
Enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I did when I first saw it on the Hub years back
Shipwreck is the best Joe
Chris Latta was a treasure
>TMNT
I grew up on 2003 and 2012 TMNT so a lot of what I enjoyed from them weren't in this iteration
Haven't seen every episode but what episodes I did see weren't agony at worst it was kind of dull
Some genuinely decent jokes here and there
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_R1ZYp2M8E
On paper I should hate their depiction of Casey Jones but I don't, even if he's far less important compared to how he usually is he's still a delight whenever he does show up
>Thundercats
Fun ideas, wasn't keen on some of the voice acting direction
Not much to say, haven't seen too much of it
>Voltron
JFC this aged badly
The voice and sound direction feel incredibly awkward
Literally just watch Golion, it's not even that good compared to other mecha anime at the time but at least the gore is hilariously over the top and the sound direction doesn't make bog down the fight
>MotU
Enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would
Yes the animation is recycled a lot
Yes Filmation He-Man is nowhere near the badass rose-tinted nostalgia glasses would suggest
Yes the dude is such a huge pacifist he'd make Steven Universe blush
But I can't say I didn't like what I saw
It's kind of just....comfy and how it genuinely tries it best to leave a positive impression for kids with a show funded to sell toys (that were cynically made even for the standards at the time)
>Scooby-Doo
It's Scooby-Doo, it's not the greatest thing in the world and later installments outclass it in many regards like Zombie Island or Mystery Inc but I still have a soft spot for the show that started it all
>>
>Visionaries
Incredibly underrated to be honest
I love the premise, the setting, and the character dynamics between the Spectral Knights and Darkling Lords whether it's among themselves or against each other
The TMS sakuga aged like fine wine and while I do think it's a shame the toyline bombed and the show ended on one season, I kind of sort of feel that might've been the best in the long run
I like the opposing factions for their limited rosters fleshing every if not at least almost every knight involved the same way I appreciate Transformers Beast Wars and Animated having smaller primary casts compared to their respective toylines (especially in Beast Wars' case)
The addition of more knights likely would've just bloated the roster
Also Leoric's staff was fucking bullshit

In the episode this clip is from S.A.V.A.G.E. raises the sunken husk of the Yamato and turns it into what amounts to a nuclear powered technodrome. The episode is only 20 minutes long and yet they perfectly capture the pacing of an 80's action flick. Best of all is watching Rambo sink it again just by launching a mortar shell into one of its chimneys.

>terrible and weird vehicles that make no sense.
The toys themselves were an ugly mishmash of features, at least the bad guy ones.
>Best part is the weird space locations and monsters they encounter, it's like a bizarre space opera
Yeah that's pretty much it. They didn't even develop the monster minds into secondary characters, They're just there.
And the plots. When the old wizard isn't pulling spells out of his ass, it's the magic ring ex machina, which they then proceed to forget about for most of the later episodes.
>>
>>153002273
Y'know for as much as I enjoyed that comic it is sort of depressing that's the only time we've seen these characters revived in any official sense since the cartoon and original toyline ended. You'd think hasbro would just buy the original show and really cash in on the ip they own, but they rather just offer lazy repaints of existing transformers.

It's impossible to find good rips, but if you could then I would recommend Kidd Video season 2 above most everything.

The Alf series was actually pretty good too.

But majority of 80s toy cartoons are really not that great and don't hold up for adults well. Thundercats, Jem, and first season TMNT are about as good as it gets.

Gummi Bears has stunningly good quality. I would always recommend Duck Tales and Alvin and the Chipmunks, but the first couple seasons of that are much lower quality. It gets much better.

>>152998678
you wold think Disney owning both Muppets and Star Wars it might be possible to uncover that show again some day.

That's pretty good! Usually upscaling improves line sharpness and detailing at the expense of tonal shading, but this works well. Still, lost a bit of color saturation... although maybe that's more true to the original 80s tapes.

Somebody already mentioned Thundarr, my favorite of the 80s cartoons.

. A little-known and underrated one I like is Spiral Zone. I missed it when it aired -- I don't think it even aired in my area, and it was only on for a short time.

Shame, because it's pretty cool. It's a G.I. Joe styled military action show, but with a cool sci-fi setup, and an awesome intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wO2Cd9tyUvY

A fun thing about it is, the setup neatly explains a couple of standard G.I. Joe style cartoon tropes: both the reason why most combats are between a small group of colorful heroes and villains, and also why everybody uses non-lethal weapons.

It's basically a limited engagement, cold-war style, where neither side can afford to field very many individuals (though the villain can send out tons of mind-controlled people inside the Spiral Zone, they're not very effective without intelligent commanders, and they can't be sent outside the zone) and where both sides want the other alive, or at least not to push them to the point of escalation.

>>153004473
That kind of bad fashion was hip in the early 80s, but it went by pretty quickly and most people didn't dress like that

>how did marvel obtain so much rights over inhumanoids when they didnt on the other hasbro cartoons?

They retained all the rights to the ip from the publication of the comics and working on the sunbow cartoon after hasbro failed to renew their share of the ownership.
>>
>>153007104
>Why were inhumanoids toys so damn fragile anyways
I suspect it's because they were very rounded and organic, meaning parts didn't have sharp angles and edges that could fit together for support. Making molds for rounded, blobby things is much harder than hard-edged stuff. It requires much more joint support and if that wasn't factored into the design the bits will break off more easily.

>>153010497
You need specialized machines to build them, and those eventually break and if sales don't justify building new ones, then you no longer have the manufacturing capacity to make them on a large scale for cheap anymore.

Visionaries was partly an attempt to find an ongoing market for hologram-based toys as the market for hologram stuff was shrinking, because the initial novelty had worn off.
>>
>>153002876
>It's impossible to find good rips, but if you could then I would recommend Kidd Video season 2 above most everything.

In a perfect world this would be the most ideal answer. Kidd Video had cool teens, music videos, 80s music, a superstrong fairy in legwarmers, and the animation was pretty good.
>>
>>153002876
Robbie Ritz, the VA who voiced the dude with the glasses, said Kidd Video was by far the weirdest project he's worked on. This the guy who was Cousin Oliver, starred on Sharknado, and voiced Choji on Naruto.

Alf cartoon easily surpasses the live action show which is a pretty cheesy family sitcom with a puppet.
The Fil Barlow style for the backgrounds/designs still look amazing and the more sci fi adventure stories are more interesting than Alf hanging out on Earth annoying some suburban family.

True, and speaking of, this is also a fantastic hidden gem, although it does suffer somewhat from having a very limited main cast (basically just 4).
>>
80s was such a dead era for TV animation. 95% of it were 25 minute commercials for toy lines. About the only thing good was Real Ghostbusters, and only the early seasons before ABC got their hands on it (the ones where they redesigned Janine and made Slimer the star).

If you're willing to expand to anime, try Dirty Pair or City Hunter. Most Dirty Pair eps are on Youtube and City Hunter is on Pluto and, I think, Tubi.

It was worlds better than everything that came before. Even the cheaper crappier shows in the 80s looked and sounded so much better than any cartoon of the 60s and 70s.

Smurfs and Snorks just plain looked better than any episodic 70s cartoon. And most of the toy commercials were a few steps above visually.

>>153012152
The dude was a common sight on 70's tv. Remember was Dr. Z on 80's Galactica. Rist was the kind child actor that one would think would go bad but didn't. He's been show business for years and he credits his mom for shielding him from the worst that Hollywood can dish out.

Kidd Video is pretty much a mid '80s time capsule: everything about the show pegs it as being from that exact era. Fashions, music, art and writing styles.

Far as episode quality goes, a lot of them aren't great but at least all of them have been found. I never thought I'd get to watch any complete version of Race to Popland for instance.

That is precisely why I love it and wish it had been a bigger success. I wish we lived in the universe where Inhumanoids, Big Guy and Rusty, Megas XLR, Motorcity, The Maxx, and Tron Uprising were such successes that they dictated the direction of pop culture.

Do you think it was just another random nom de plume a dozen guys used? Charls Nichols was just as common between the 30's and 70's.

>>153025957
Nah, he was a real guy, very popular script writer in the 80s and 90s:

and "Flint Dille" doesn't make for any interesting anagrams.

The show was shot on film, supers and credits included, couldnt they just restore that on a true HD scan?

well, i was there when they aired. they didnt have much depth. cant really appreciate them that much once you arent a child anymore usually. cool concepts stick with you but lack of depth leaves no reason to watch it.

so even though that's my generation, i can't say i have a favorite. because the 90s rolled around and i started watching 90s anime, which was peak imo, and i left shallow western cartoons behind.

The song would have been perfect if they'd just said "no one".

Is it the rubber in the vines and guts? I don't think Metlar had any soft parts.

Don't remember Niko singing but most of the musical numbers except Tortuna Rock were literally cringe inducing.

I agree, Alf The Animated Series was better than the family sitcom. But what did you think of Alf Tales?

Not particularly the "style of the time", but also give them a shot
The Real Ghostbusters
Saber Rider
Rainbow Brite
Beverly Hills Teens
Lady Lovelylocks
Punky Brewster
My Little Pony (+Tales)

Good picks

I thought nobody even knew who had the rights now. Back in 2010 or so looked like they were sort of trying to bring back the franchise as Primordia, but unfortunately that didn't pan out apparently.

>>153000646
In season 2 if I recall there were a few character episodes. Of course by then they were already on the finish line for syndication, as usual, and the show somehow had turned into Wacky Races.
>>
>>153025943
Didn't you kinda get your wish in the 90s, though? There were Mighty Max, Mutant League, Skeleton Warriors, Garbage Pail Kids...

Even in the 80s Spiral Zone >>153004588 was already treading the line, too
>>
>>153030361
Yes and no. Alot of the shows I mentioned came and went. Most wouldnt linger for longer than a year or two. It's been a sharp decline ever since 2014.
>>
>>153027767
Not just the rubber and the guts, but the very plastic their bodies and limbs are composed of. It becomes heinously brittle with the passage of time, which is why even Metlar isnt safe from the same material degredation. If there was ever a toyline in dire need of reproduction its Inhumanoids. If I had the business savvy I'd do it myself. It's a 40 year old cartoon locked in legal limbo, I'll just dub my effort "Monstroids" or something and ride the shitstorm to whereever it takes me.

The way sony squandered Ghostbusters over the last 30 years will always baffle the shit out of me. Imagine raking in that much passive revenue from just the song and seasonal halloween merchandise alone, yet not pursuing some sort of continuation of the most successful arm of the franchise in RGB. Ghostbusters could have been their Scooby Doo/TMNT. It could have taken over for Hotel Transylvania once Genndy left too. If they'ed played their cards right they would have been rolling in the money by now. That they instigated the entire culture war by betting on a feminist-bent GB revival will always astonish me. It could have only happened in the late 2010's. No other era of history would have been that retarded.

>>153022190
Agreed that 70s was junk, too. When Superfriends is the most memorable show besides Scooby-Doo, you know the era had problems.

60s gave us Underdog and Space Ghost, but the best shows were reruns of theatrical shorts.
>>
>>153031490
Yeah, but Scooby-Doo is the only one to stand the test of time.

Wait, Pink Panther was 50s then I guess? Always get it mixed.

I mean yeah, everyone in this site knows this song and dance, whether they like to admit or not. The industry got gaslit into betting everything on the most obviously lame horse in the track and doubling down for what, one decade straight and going? It's crazy.

Recently found out there are 3d scans of the Inhumanoids online, even. Unfortunately they're not free.

The first movie came out in '63. Cartoon debuted in '69. (which surprised me. I always think of it as a '70's show since that was the bulk of it's run)
>>
>>153032838
Wow, didn't think it took that long from the movie to the cartoon. Still at least one of the top cartoons of the decade.

Depends on what you consider the inflection point. Some people say hunger games was patient zero, others will argue otherwise. As a general rule of thumb 2014 seems like the beginning of the end and between 2015 and 2016 everything went from zero to one hundred. Eitherway you can argue a decade to fifteen years if you want to bake gamergate into the timeline

I want to be optimistic over the upcoming MOTU, Voltron, TMNT, and Thundercats movies but I recognize all of these are just way too late to the party and much of the damage has already been done.

>Recently found out there are 3d scans of the Inhumanoids online, even. Unfortunately they're not free

Honestly worth paying for considering how expensive and pricey vintage examples are

The crazy thing about Shipwreck is he wasn't created by Hasbro. He was created by Buzz Dixon and Larry Hama said Shipwreck was one of his favorite characters or at least writing his bio.

>>153032209
Bro?

>>153033283
They changed Hunger Games from the books?

I mean if you look closely, The Hobbit movies at some points went out of the way for that audience, and looking a bit earlier, Marvel in like 2009 or so already tried to "test the waters" (as in, failed miserably and backed down for a bit).
