'80s cartoons rule Page 7

Popeye & Son????
Ridiculous.
I never like the way that they can so easily take a classic & update it in such a flippant way.
Give me something like Dogtanion & the 3 Muskahounds any day of the week

As a neutral observer (i.e. someone who was really too old to have been watching kids cartoons in either decade) US kids cartoons in the 90s were full of wit and invention and stylish animation; US kids cartoons in the 80s were soulless hamfisted crap intended to sell toys.

Crumbs DM. No more Mark Hall.

Thanks for all of the work you did to brighten up the 80s. RIP Mark

I used to be called Penfold at school, so I have mixed feelings on this.

That said Dangermouse ruled, it was like a superior animated Monty Python.
