    Kidd Video has become a favorite to watch on Saturday mornings when I want to have a good 1984-1985 fix, when pop music was really integrated into movies and TV shows. MTV was officially mainstream at that point, propelling the popularity of movies like "Footloose" and "Purple Rain" along with "Miami Vice", and a lot of kids were hip to that. With the music references in the cartoon, it was very modern. I guess you had to see it at the time to have gotten into it.

    Great video! I remember most of those shows, but D&D, Jayce, and Galaxy High were my favorites out of that group. I was in a band that did a punkish version of the Galaxy High theme back in the 90's. John Kricfalusi of Ren & Stimpy fame also did character designs on Galaxy High.

  • @KasumiKenshirou
    @KasumiKenshirou 9 років тому

    I borrowed the Bravestarr DVD once. One of the bonus features stated that this show used CGI as well for vehicles. IIRC, they could only output wireframes at the time, and then the animators would trace over the wireframes (similarly to how they would rotoscope the actors).

  • @batangbatugan
    @batangbatugan 9 років тому +1

    And here I thought I've already heard about almost all of these cartoons but then you guys throw me yet another curve ball: Vytor. Now I have to go look it up!
    I'm SO glad you also talked about Bravestarr which In my opinion is Filmation's best work. One of the big reasons I love this show is because in our local folklore there is this mythical being called a tikbalang which has a man's torso and a horse's head, lower legs and tail. IT is exactly like Thirty-Thirty except he takes it up a notch by being cybernetic and packing a huge shotgun. Also, my girlfriend loves Visionaries because of the great dialogue, thanks for including that, too. Can't wait for part 2!

    Dragon's Lair. I remember watching the USA Cartoon Express back in the day and on the little 'We'll be right back' segments I'd see the knight on the train with the characters from the other cartoons. However the show itself was never part of the Cartoon Express programming while I watched it. I always wanted to see it. sounds like I didn't miss much though!

  • @MrChupacabra555

  • @jhousdan
    @jhousdan 8 років тому +3

    I've read that Bravestarr is what Filmation originally intended He-Man to be, but when Bravestarr was first developed, they decided it was too serious for children and went with He-Man instead... your comments about how hardcore the show was lends credence to that, I'd say.

    In Visionaries the magical staffs they carried were independent of their chest totem. The animal on their chest is what they transformed in to and there wasn't really a limit on how often they could change, but the staffs gave them an additional magic power and was a one use thing, until it was dipped back in to the magic pool and recharged.

  • @TVfanfanatic
    @TVfanfanatic 9 років тому

    I'm surprised that Galaxy High was only 13 episodes. I always thought that show was really well done. The Galaxy High Theme Song was also very cool. It's almost as good as the theme song from Duck Tales! Almost...

  • @goemonbeatsnaruto
    @goemonbeatsnaruto 9 років тому +4

    you were getting the power staffs and totems mixed up, the staffs like destuction or lightspeed are ones that need a recharge after they been used, they can used the animal totem any time, unless removed by the chamber from the daggar assalt vehicle
    ectar, feral, mordred and reekon main powers are from the vehicles they drive, since they toys comes with them
    from what I heard/read jayce and the wheeled warriors was suppose to end with a movie but never happen, Ithink samurai jack had a similar idea to end its own series

    • @RoboP
      @RoboP 9 років тому +1

      +goemonbeatsnaruto He is right the Totem staves served a different function they were USED to incite a magical spell or ability beyond that of the basic Totem Animal each Spectral Knight had in their chestplate.
      Also there were some vehicles which had unique abilities as well.

    • @retroblasting

    I'd really recommend Visionaries. In addition to the gimmick of knights transfoming in to animals, the real beauty was the set up of this being a world that goes through ages of technology then magic. At the start of the show the age of technology had ended and so in subsequent episodes you see how people adapted to technology no longer working, like cars only beig useful if pulled by horses.

  • @joncarroll2040
    @joncarroll2040 9 років тому +2

    I'm pretty sure that the reason the LJN toyline didn't include the main characters from the show is because they had their license directly from TSR and had to base their line on characters that appeared in materials published for the game. The bigger failing IMO is the reluctance of the producers to feature the game at all and TSR's failure to create a board game version (similar to HeroQuest) that would have appealed to kids of the age targeted by the toys and the cartoon. I was exposed to both the toys and the cartoon as a kid but I could never figure out what the connection was between them and the game (which I encountered as a really cool book of monsters owned by my babysitter's son).
    BTW if you track down the original release of the series on DVD it includes the final episode recorded as an audio drama.

  • @WyldstaarStudios
    @WyldstaarStudios 9 років тому +1

    +RetroBlasting Michael, I have a question about the 1983 deregulation of children's television you may know the answer to. What were the limits that were in place before '83? I ask because the enforcement of the regulations was very inconsistent. While there were no Scooby toys, there was no shortage of Mego figures of Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman or Batman & Robin while the SuperFriends cartoon was airing every Saturday morning throughout the Seventies. Mego Spider-Man figures were sold while the '68 Spider-Man cartoon aired in syndication until the '81 Saturday morning cartoon showed up. There were toys from Sesame Street and Battlestar Galactica as well. Was there some sort of loophole being exploited or what?

    • @Desslar
      @Desslar 9 років тому +1

      +Wyld staar
      The FCC prevented companies from trying to use cartoons as advertising for merchandise. Therefore no Scooby Doo toys. Superman, Batman, Spider-man on the other hand were originally comic book characters, and their toys did not have any direct connection to the cartoons so there was no problem there. Battlestar Galactica was not a children's program and Sesame Street is a nonprofit production, so I believe they were not affected either.

    • @WyldstaarStudios
      @WyldstaarStudios 9 років тому

      +Desslar That makes sense, but I can't help but wonder why the toy companies didn't use this sort of loophole to get around the FCC restrictions more often. For example, Hasbro could have used Marvel's heroes and villains from their Nick Fury comics to make a cartoon and toy line almost identical to what they created later with GI Joe. Instead of GI Joe vs Cobra, it would have been SHIELD vs Hydra. One would think this sort of thing would have been going on all the time to get around the rules, but maybe that's just the benefit of hindsight.

    • @Desslar
      @Desslar 9 років тому +1

      Wyld staar
      Actually, Hasbro hired Marvel to create the GI Joe comic in order to get around the FCC restrictions. Hasbro wanted to air animated commercials for the 1982 relaunch of the GI Joe toy line, but were not allowed to use animation to advertise toys. So Hasbro created animated commercials that showed all the Joe characters and vehicles but promoted the Marvel comic boook, not the toys. By the next year the FCC restrictions ceased to be enforced, so Hasbro launched the GI Joe cartoon series and animated commericlas that promoted the toys directly.

    Really Visionaries and their staves. It is never stated that the staves were related to the totems. The staves had bestowed additional powers. The characters that didn't have staves could power up vehicles.

    I was angry that Bravestar mysteriously went off the air in the area I lived in after only a small handful of episodes. It probably had something to do with the drug episode, though I don't remember ever seeing it.

  • @neiltemple123
    @neiltemple123 9 років тому

    That was fun! Visionaries had a great intro but for some reason the theme song seems to belong to a rapper named Killah Priest in a song called "Dead" he uses the entire opening of Visionaries. Someone should ask Flint Dille (show creator) about this. Does he own it, should he be making money off it?

    @dnds4 8 років тому

    I'm only six minutes in and hoping Retro Blasting at least mentions Mighty Orbots (1984) by Tokyo Movie Shinsha. It's a quintessential anime that lost out to the less than satisfactory GoBots in a legal dispute surrounding "Godmars". I will be on the lookout for a future review on Orbots. The show, in my feeling, is worthy of an analysis.

There are many show you can do this with such as he-man, gi-joe, transformers, thunder cats (oops didn't like that show), ect.

    I had a 30/30 action figure, but I was really disappointed with Sarah Jane (his gun). The cartoon was a gigantic two-handed cannon you could fit your head in the huge flared barrel. The toy version was all one colour, no proper detail, just a straight one-piece mould in dull graphite/grey, and it was tiny in comparison, fitting into one of the figure's hands like a pistol. Totally lame.
