Retro Shows (70-80-90s)

[Umeko]

I thought I'd make this, were we can dive into some nostaliga of what shows people like myself grew up with.

I'm going to start off with a couple I want to share:

First of some clips from the first two episodes of MLP:

First intro to the very first ever episode of MLP.
I remember I rented these from the video store.
Sadly many of these characters were never seen again, only a couple were revived in FiM.

One thing I really miss seeing are the varieties of ponies, like the sea ponies

I was higly disappointed in Tirek in FiM, cause he used to be so intimidating and well done

A clip from episode two Escape from Catrina

Another show I used to watch a lot was Rainbow Brite

My favorite character in this show was a horse named Skydancer, here's his first apperance
This clip is from the movie: Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer

Looking forwards to see what people will post here :3

Can we also agree though that  early 90s/ and 80s cartoon's had the best songs and really fun intro's? 

[RainySunshine]

Ghostbusters!  What a catchy theme and I liked the human character designs!

Thundercats!  Look at all the crazy action going on here!

They don't make music or intro's like this anymore.  This was excellent in every way, thanks to the GALAXY RANGERS!  I love how so many 80s shows had intro's that just explained everything.  Lol!

Gummi Bears wasn't a show I watched, but it did start the Disney renaissance in animation.  It led to all the classics in the 90's you all remember.

Inspector Gadget has one of the most memorable intro's.

One of the few good cartoon's to have actually come from Canada with good animation for the most part and a good intro, good series.

[MasterXtreme]

A show I've always wanted to see, but never have, is called the Moomin's.  It is a Finnish cartoon, yep!  From Finland based on lore and what not. 

The Adventure's of Tin Tin was another I loved growing up!  The theme song had so much emotion and class to it, as well as urgency.

[Death Blossom]

The Moonins! Pretty cute.
I watched Garfield and friends, even though I wasn't alive until '97 haha.

The Adventures of Tintin was another I loved growing up!  The theme song had so much emotion and class to it, as well as urgency.

Me too! I loved it, all of it, the theme, the whole show, I loved it!

[RainySunshine]

I'm so happy someone else brought up TinTin!  I love that series!  It had mystery and adventure, and was done really well!  I want to see that film that came out in 2011.  Anyone seen that? 

[1234]

Yeah, saw it. I thought it was pretty good.

[RainySunshine]

Yeah, saw it. I thought it was pretty good.

I'll have to go see it.   Probably pick up a copy if I find it cheap at the store.

[Death Blossom]

The movie? It was eeeeeeehhh. Not the greatest, but I don't know if it holds true to the show. I didn't watch the show so *shrug* on its own it was okay.

[1234]

Well, actually, both the show AND the movie were based on a Belgian comic book series. That's what Tintin originally was, a comic book. So it was more about being faithful to the comics than to the show.

[Death Blossom]

Ah, I wouldn't know haha.

[Umeko]

Since we're talking shows with epic intros here are a few I like a lot:

Sonic cause well Sonic

MASK

Denver *I personally love this a lot*

Biker Mice From Mars - This was one of my drugs as a kid!

Transformers!

Swat Katz *Second season opening*

Back then the shows were heavily influenced by anime, easy to just look at the cast list and the animators will all be from japan :3 or korea
And the music is heavily influenced by rock :3 which I don't mind one bit, being a metal head and all

This seems like the kind of topic that NostradamustheSeer will have a field day in.
