Other than my little pony, I don't think I recognise any of these characters. Hopefully you're about to make me feel young and not old!

They're 1980s to 1990s... so you're young. Like me. I AM YOUNG

This is a singular year in the 1980s. If someone has a run of US published Marvel comics this was an ad that ran promoting the fall cartoon line up.

Rainbow Brite was 1984-86

Gummi Bears was 1984-1991

Jem was 1985-88

This was the fall line up in 1985 or 1986. Im inclined towards 1985 as there was a Strawberry Shortcake animated release that year.

[-] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 4 points 3 weeks ago

According to my quick search, Popples first aired in 1986 in the USA, so that probably rules out 1985.

But 1985 is the last Strawberry Shortcake until 1992. Maybe Im misremembering the context of the image or it was reused for other purposes overseas?

She-ra in the top left. In front is a gummy bear (its still on Disney+), Rainbow Bright in the middle, a carebear to the left and Strawberry Shortcake on the right of the MLP.

It’s truly outrageous you didn’t mention Jem.

[-] frazorth@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago

I didn't ever watch Jem.

Or that troll with the heart ears so I don't remember the name offhand.

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Well, that’s
truly, truly, truly outrageous.

Back right in the pink dress is Jem, from Jem and the Holograms.

[-] GraniteM@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

They made a new She-Ra show on Netflix back in 2018 and it's fuckin' awesome.

[-] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Jemm from Jemm and the Holograms in the back right.

This was the ABC (USA not Australia) Saturday lineup

[-] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

Thos is a print ad that ran in Marvel comics for the lineup on a US network.

The back: She-Ra of She-Ra Princess of Power (He-Man spinoff) and Jemm of Jemm and the Holograms (show about a band)

The fromt: A Carebear I dont recall which one,I dont recall the blue thing, A Gummi Bear (this was the start of Disney doing high quality shows on major networks on Saturdays this was a good cartoon for the time), Rainbow Brite, My Little Pony, and StrawberryShortcake.
