#123 - Morning cartoons how I miss you...

Warning - Lots of videos ahead.

So its Sunday and its a pretty quiet morning. I don't have cable down in my den area since I don't watch that much TV. But I can definately say right now I am definately jones-ing for some good old morning cartoons. Which are near non-existent today.

Not to mention if you haven't see its advert recently:


Cartoon Network is going to integrate live shows into their line up. Then that got me thinking... there have been a lot of live adaptations of comics, cartoons, and games... (I can't believe they went there with Candyland) All of which are alright but sometimes I honestly would love to see those great animations stay as animations.

Now right now technology has allowed for a lot of great special affects to be made possible in movies which of course lets us have all of that great live action entertainment. Yet while the inner child in me is awed and amazed at live action movies and all their special effects, she also misses (A LOT) the great 2D animation that played part in a large part of her life.

Let me share some of my favorites:
Thundercats

I still have the action figures and a plastic version Lion-O's sword somewhere.

Silverhawks

In pre-school I was so cool... why? I had a Silverhawk lunchbox. It was red plastic and all kinds of awesome.

Bravestar

So this totally made me want to be a cowgirl when I grew up.

Centurions

I thought the action figures for this show was the coolest thing ever. There were so many snap on thingies!

G.I. Joe

Ironically I never owned a G.I. Joe action figure. I would always sneak away my cousin's and then get in trouble later.

He-Man/She-Ra


I had to fight my grandmother to watch these two shows. :P

Sonic the Hedgehog


Once a fan-girl always a fan-girl...

Pirates of the Dark Water

If only it didn't get canceled!! But still one of my favorite sets of action figures.

TMNT

I had the hugest crush on Mikie... LOL

You know looking at this video list, aside from She-Ra... God I was such a tomboy! LOL
