Walter Lantz Cartoon



I have never seen this Woody cartoon before! It's very interesting and was definitely made long after the golden age of cartoons. Check out Andy Panda! I didn't realize he showed up in new cartoons after 1949.

If anyone has more information on this cartoon, please post the information here.

Awesome early Woody Woodpecker cartoon

Godzilla Storms the Cartoon World


Godzilla is the king of monsters. In the 1970s, he also became the king of cartoons.

Godzilla is a 30-minute animated series co-produced between Hanna-Barbera Productions and Toho in 1978 and aired on NBC in the US and TV Tokyo in Japan, according to Wikipedia. Believe it or not, the show ran until 1981!

One interesting aspect of the show was the addition of Godzooky. Unlike Minilla, Godzilla's son from the 1960s and 70s movies, Godzooky is Godzilla's nephew. Also, unlike Minilla, Godzooky can fly using the small wings under his arms.

However, like Godzilla's son, when Godzooky tries to breath fire, he just coughs up smoke. Godzooky is voiced by Don Messick, the same man who voiced Scooby-Doo and many other characters in television history.

SuperFriends

Besides growing up in the 1970s and 80s watching Woody Woodpecker and Andy Panda reruns, I also grew up on the SuperFriends.

Who doesn't remember and still love the SuperFriends? Sure, the show did not match the comic book version of the SuperFriends exactly (called the Justice League of America in comics) but it was still cool. Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Batman and Robin ... the only thing that would have make it better would be to have Hawkman and Hawkgirl in each episode (two of my favs!). Still, the show did give us the Wonder Twins and Gleek! C'mon ... Gleek is cool.

I love that old cartoons are being released on DVD these days. SuperFriends is no different. I am happy to present on this blog links to two awesome SuperFriends DVD sets. From this page, you can purchase the first season of the SuperFriends, which started the classic series. You can also find a link to the Lost Episodes; some have not been on television for years.

I hope to add more SuperFriends links soon. Happy cartoon watching.
