Oh, man, when I was a kid around 1990 I was in France (maybe? Pretty sure it was somewhere in Europe), and they had this subtitled cartoon (I didn't know either language) that "starred" a villain named something like Amin Tumani ("I'm in to money", but made into a name) that was a stereotypical middle easterner. And to add to the crazy I'm 99.9% sure he died at the end of every episode.

If anyone knows anything about this cartoon, LMK.

The Brave Little Toaster. It's a bit endearing until the LSD trip goes bad.

The old Nintendo cartoons, things like the Mario Super Show and the classic Sonic show. If you thought live action Mario and Luigi arguing with fungus people was weird, sometimes the people behind the cartoons would get so lazy that they wouldn't fully draw some of the frames or throw in a lazy scenario for the main characters like "what if Yoshi had a secret family he was hiding off-screen". Of note, people often ask me "why are you so relatively soft on the Zelda CDi games" and the answer relates to the deal of effort.

If puppet shows count, objectively it's Mr. Meaty.

That moment when Shigeru Miyamoto made Mario because he couldn't get the rights to Popeye, yet DiC has the power to make Inspector Gadget a part of Mario canon. Chad move.

When I was like, 2? My parents were like "Hey! What's this new cartoon? Let's take the kid to the drive-in!"

How did they react afterwards ..?

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I don't really remember, I was 2, but I'm told they kept pushing me down in the back seat. LOL.

[-] hactar42@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

Wait, so that means they stayed and watched it?

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago

Once you're in the Drive In, you're kind of stuck...

[-] theedqueen@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago

The first one that comes to mind is this one from probably the early 90s. From what I remember it was a group of kids and one of them is sick or something and the other kids try to save him? In the end they each sacrifice a year of their life so that the sick friend can live. I wanna say Steven Spielberg was a producer.

There was also that one crossover movie where a bunch of cartoon characters from whatever was popular in the 80s did an anti-drug movie.

In my mid-teens, after Saturday Night Live they showed Fantastic Planet on Night Flight. That was an experience.

[-] soloner@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I watched that on acid... Wow what an experience. Highly recommend

[-] shutz@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Check out Gandahar. Anyone who thinks Star Trek has the most messed up time travel plotlines needs to watch this.

[-] Mr_Mope@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

The lord of the rings cartoon. I still don't know wtf it is.

[-] MCHEVA4EVA@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

That's just Ralph Bakshi movies. Try Wizards for some real wtf.

[-] Godort@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Wizards had the best ending of any movie I've seen to date. It just comes out of fucking nowhere.

[-] shutz@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

I love Bakshi's LotR and Wizards but I think his best movie is American Pop. Not as WTF as Wizards, but it's so epic!

[-] Godort@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

I have a soft spot for Bakshi movies but I haven't seen this one. I will have to check it out.

I think my favorite is Heavy Traffic. It feels like they figured out most of the production problems with Fritz by the time they made it, but still haven't run entirely out of money like with Wizards.

Adolar's Fantastical Adventures

An old Hungarian cartoon about a boy who hides an inflatable rocket in his violin case. He uses it to fly to strange planets like a two dimensional one. Most vivid image I have in my mind is how the rocket stretches when it approaches light speed.

The most hauntingly memorable was a weird mid-century Donald Duck piece of math propaganda. We watched it in school.

Donald Duck in MathMagic Land. Not scary, but odd.

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

i loved that. should do a whole series through calculus.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

What was the message it was trying to propagate?

[-] ArtieShaw@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago

I think they were just trying to promote math. I always thought about it later in life as I tried to drunkenly calculate pool angles at the bar.

"Dammit - Donald tried to explain this when I was 10! Why can't I remember the details?"

[-] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Watership Down.

[-] sag@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Ugh Probably Teens Titans GO: Its episodes just go from Fart Jokes to how to pay Taxes.

[-] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

“The great mouse detective” had a fight scene at the end that freaked me out as a kid.

I was 12 and just getting into Anime, fresh off seeing Akira and Ninja scroll and hungry for more, I was not ready for Wicked City.

[-] Godort@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Probably the Toxic Crusaders, but only after watching the movie it's based on.

The cartoon itself is just another knockoff TMNT, which was the style at the time. I have no idea how someone showed a board of directors the Toxic Avenger in the early 90s and said, we should take this and make it a cartoon for children.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I'm so glad all this shit got greenlighted tho, tv in the 90's was wild, especially for kidz

I saw a lot of Christian propaganda cartoons.

I remember there was a whole series where kids traveled through time to watch "historical" events.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

What do you think of Veggie Tales? Actually wasnt mad imo

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

I think I was older when it came out so I thought it was lame, pushing annoying.

The Point!

From Wikipedia: The Point! is a fable that tells the story of a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in the Pointed Village, where by law everyone and everything must have a point. Nilsson explained his inspiration for The Point!: "I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses [each] came to [a] point. I thought, 'Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's [still] a point to it.'"[4]

I’m pretty sure this is why I do drugs today.

[-] Volkditty@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Mid-90s, I used to stay up all night long on Fridays, watching weird cable access shows and infomercials. There was a Highlander: The Animated Series cartoon that came on around 4AM. No one ever believed me when I tried to describe it.
