Sounds like Ned's Newt, but he was blue.

T-nex 01-16-2011 10:06 AM

Damn... I watched Ned's Newt too now that you mention it.

Manco 01-16-2011 10:12 AM

Ned's Newt sounds vaguely familiar, but that's not it.

Going through a list of British kid's shows, I came across The Wombles, Through the Dragon's Eye and El Nombre. Those last two were BBC educational things, but damn if they weren't great.

EDIT: Fuck, The Forgotten Toys. That thing had me in tears.

Damn.. I found it. I looked up a 80s/90s cartoon list.

Wow, I remember that too. But beyond him turning into things, and what he looked like, I don't remember what actually went on in the show.

T-nex 01-16-2011 01:13 PM

Me neither... Which is exactly why it took me a long while before I found it... It was always in my mind from time to time. Cos the cartoon had left an imprint I guess.. What with watching it at such a young age and stuff.

I vaguely remember that. It was about a doll and a bear, right?

Yes. I can just about remember seeing this episode:
:

The first episode is a feature-length story that begins with Teddy and Annie in adjacent dustbins, sometime after Christmas. They have been thrown out to make room for new, more exciting toys. They cannot understand why this has happened to them. Before long, the refuse truck comes along and they narrowly escape being crushed. So begins their journey to find another child to love them. They meet an old stray dog, (voiced by Sir Clement Freud) who shelters them in the basement of a Hotel. They soon grow bored sitting there all day. Eventually the old dog inadvertently causes the basement to flood, and the toys have to escape again.

They meet up again with the old dog who takes them to see an old man with a long white beard (parallels with another such gentleman can be made). He deposits them outside a school, whereupon they are scooped up by the noisy children as they run out of school. The last sequence shows them happy in a new home.
What that description doesn't include is the sad closing shot of the old man and the dog being left behind by the toys. That fucking shot is the single most upsetting memory I have.

Watch the entirety of Jimmy's dream, and tell me that the animation isn't fantastic.


That's weird, some of the voices aren't as I remember them. Was this made separately from the normal episodes, since this one seems like a special episode or something?

Ed, Edd n Eddy actually continued until 2009; that episode is probably a newer episode that was made after you were a kid. Probably some voice actor changes or something like that.

OANST 01-17-2011 05:58 AM

It's not so much that there were changes in voice actors (although the person who does Naz does get switched out early on), but that the voice actors got better at voicing their characters. This happens in almost all long running shows that use voice actors. Consider Dale from King of the Hill. Same voice actor. Almost completely different tone and intonation by the end.

Nemo 01-17-2011 03:55 PM

WACHACHA, POCKET SAND!

Do preteens count as kids? Because I'm currently in the process of acquiring Teen Titans in its entirety.

OANST 01-19-2011 02:12 PM

I love Adventure Time.


metroixer 01-19-2011 03:01 PM

Usual fare for me, cartoon network shows like EEnE, Courage, and Dexter's lab.

What I find interesting is that when I find myself watching the old cartoons I used to, I would probably be more entertained by them than when I was a kid. Not to say I didn't like them, but just looking back at Jimmy's dream from last page I was just giggling like a buffoon like a whole time. As a kid I probably would have kept a straight face. Maybe it's because I realize how absurd everything else, like ballerina robots in Dexter's Lab or a smug as hell computer in Courage.


That computer owns

Bullet Magnet 01-19-2011 04:11 PM

Trawling even my most distant memories, I loved Ed, Ed 'n' Eddy, Dexter's Laboratory, Monster Rancher, Teen Titans, X-Men Evolution, Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, Digimon Adventures, Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop, Tale Spin, Marsupilami, Tailspin, Winnie the Pooh, Spider-Man TAS, Jackie Chan Adventures, Aladdin, Timon and Pumbaa, Sam and Max, Bonkers, Sharky and George, Osmosis Jones, Pinky and the Brain, Animaniacs, Freakazoid, Earthworm Jim, Extreme Ghostbusters, Godzilla: The Series, Men in Black: The Series, Bucky O'Hare, Mighty Max, Biker Mice from Mars, Street Sharks, The Moomins, The Clangers, Gargoyles, Alvin and the Chipmunks and, wow, does anybody remember The Racoons? I can't remember too well but I might have watched Toxic Crusaders and Mummies Alive too.



Does anyone remember What a Cartoon!? It was a platform for pilots, which gave us the likes of Dexter's Laboratory, The Power Puff Girls Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, I Am Weasel and Courage the Cowardly Dog. Here's one that didn't make it.


metroixer 01-19-2011 04:38 PM

Those voice actors are literally Peter and Brian from family guy with their respective character stereotypes

Wings of Fire 01-19-2011 05:08 PM

Why do I remember that

Emesdee 01-19-2011 08:15 PM

By the time Family Guy came on, I totally forgot about them. Yet rewatching that, I remember it so clearly now.

MeechMunchie 01-19-2011 10:42 PM

Jackie Chan Adventures was good.

Nemo 01-20-2011 01:17 AM



This is as old as my god damn grandmother.

That voice actor. Both are Seth McFarlane. The voices and designs are identical to those of an old student film he made.

Which makes me wonder if he's come up with anything new in the however-many years he's been working in the television industry.

Strike Witch 01-20-2011 02:55 AM

Men in Black.

Men in Black.

God damn it you whore now I have to start looking for that as well.

Given how long he's had that idea, tried to do it and has been doing it, I'd say that's pretty standard for the industry. Getting a pet project out there can take as long as breaking into the industry in the first place.

He was one of the writers and animators for Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken and Dexter's Laboratory before he made Family Guy. He did pretty well, for a while he was the youngest executive producer in American television.

I love this cartoon!

Jordan 01-20-2011 12:12 PM

Pretty much all of the Cartoon Cartoons from Cartoon Network, it pains me that these are no longer shown! Also watched cool shit like Samurai Jack, Pokémon, Digimon and DragonBall Z. Gah, I love to reminisce!

Alf Shall Rise 01-23-2011 07:55 AM

My favorite cartoons were most of the Cartoon Network cartoons as well, especially Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed, Edd n Eddy, and Johnny Bravo.

Dixanadu 01-24-2011 02:33 PM

Even after not watching it for so many years, I can still remember the Dexter's Lab intro song word for word.

MeechMunchie 01-25-2011 05:08 AM

I'm like that with Pinky and The Brain.

And the pilot has Quagmire's voice.

I remember that cartoon too. Every now and then it came by and I always wondered why there was just one episode.
