Most of us are familiar with the 80’s cartoons right? Thundercats? He-man/She-ra? M.A.S.K? Centurions? Gummi Bears? Transformers? Muppet Babies? Many many more, so I wont spoil further.
I would highly recommend watching this with another childhood-in-the-80s person.

Hazzah!?
Haha, Great find Jason! That took me right back afternoons after school!
yeah…. so many that I’ve forgotten…. so many great memories.
I’m definitly out to get me a complete copy of Thundercats now.
Having a watch it’s like Alvin and the Chipmunks bred the monstrosity of Hamtaro it seems, while Ulysses takes marks for the worst rhyme in a song (Ulysses… travelling through the galaxy… gah).
Of note is how Silverhawk (maybe) seems to have started the guitar-playing-while-in-a-spaceship nonsense that may have been responsible for the travesty that was Macross 7 and associated series. Never really did hear what happened to GoBots… never stood a chance compared to Transformers anyhow.
What’s really scary is that there’s a whole generation of people who’ve probably never seen most of these shows nowadays?
Well, perhaps our age is starting to show. My sisters watched one of the videos with me… and they looked at me funny when I start laughing hysterically at what they thought were incredibily lame cartoons….
But yeah… good times. Wuzzles!
Loved Silverhawk too. and Bravestar. and Voltron (though I like the lion one).
