I rather enjoyed Quack Pack. You have to admit that Donald becoming a Supervillain and threatening to destroy the world unless his nephews clean their room is pretty funny.
same, also remembered when Donald wrote an apology to his boss, why he was late for work, ending with some Alien invasion bs.... only to turn out that the aliens where actual real and even reappeared in a later episode for revenge XD Or the one with Donald getting younger and turning into his 1930s version, that was pretty clever if you ask me XD

Doobop, Berber, and Duflonk. When I was a kid I never watched it because the boys came off as such ingrate brats that they didn't seem like the same characters. In Ducktales they may have gotten into mischief here and there and brought some whimsy, they were still massive assets to Scrooge in his adventures. With these twerps, however, I think Scrooge would tell Screwie and crew to screw off!
"Parvo" means dumb or silly in Portuguese, so that name gains a different dimension. I think the word comes from Latin "parvus", which means small or little, probably the word evolved towards becoming synonymous with small-minded or small-brained.
Quack Pack should have been an actual follow-up to Ducktales, with Donald being discharged from the Navy and the nephews going back to living with him. That could have been a better show I think.

Going by some of the concept art from 1993, the teenage nephews and Webby (also now a teenager) would’ve been involved in high school shenanigans along with other teenage stuff. This pitch didn’t make the cut, and instead the team reworked the show into being more in line with the old “Donald Duck” cartoon shorts (humans co-existing with the anthropomorphic characters, no mention of Uncle Scrooge, “scheme/villain of the week” plot structure), as well as slightly adding the “sitcom” setup from 1992’s “Goof Troop” and a heavy dose of 90’s attitude.

Defenders of the Realm was bad but had an impressive voice cast. Clancy Brown, Dorian Harwood, Olivia D’Abo, Brian Tochi… plus John Rhys Davies, Kevin Richardson, Neil Ross, and John Vernon also had roles
it's weird to see phantom 2040 being referred to as a failure. critical acclaim for the mature and complex storytelling and environmentalist focus, managed to end its main arc on a satisfying note, developed a cult following, character designs by peter fucking chung. i watched the shit out of this show back in the day.
I remember the Live Action TV show better than I do the cartoon. The live action series was the same kind of corny acting that was seen in shows like Hercules or Xena but still enjoyable. It was also a prequel series of sorts, featuring Kung Lao as the main star instead of Liu Kang. It also featured the beautiful Kristanna Loken before she hit her stride as an actress.
Come on, they both were terrible in their own ways... And I'm not even talking about the animated movie "The adventure begins" which is... incredible (in so many ways).
The opening song of "The Phantom" still lives in my head. I remember liking Bruno the Kid and it would come on before Extreme Ghostbusters before school. C Bear was great as one of those last really for kids shows as I was getting getting older. Now a days those kind of shoes are considered "designer." I loved Quack Pack! There was even an episode where they went to Roswell to film UFOs but they were just camera tricks.
C bear and Jamal was a hit in my book. I stumbled upon Bruno the Kid at the video store when I was little. I couldn't read and I thought it was Johnny Bravo when he was a little kid. When I popped the VHS tape in I was mad that it wasn't Johnny Bravo. I watched it and grew to like it for the 5 days that I had it.
@chaosmachines934 cause like he said it took established characters and crapped on them with edgy 90s cringy cool vibes and aging like milk as it dates itself horribly lol and i grew up watching this and other shows growing up on disney afternoon but unlike the other shows quackpack doesnt hold up like i said its aged poorly lol
Quack Pack is easier to enjoy when you treat it as its own show and not as a sequel to Ducktales as unfortunately a lot of us were lead to believe. I remember how much of a pain it was trying to watch Phantom 2040. You could go weeks without seeing it only to find it again by accident.
Also, fun-fact; 'Felix the Cat: the Movie' (a childhood favorite of mine) was itself supposed to be a pilot of sorts for a Canadian-produced series that never got made. (And yeah; even as a kid who loved Felix, I remember watching the pilot-episode of 'Twisted Tales' and, even at that age, thought to myself; "Wow, this is pretty messed up for a kids-show.") =O XD =)
I absolutely loved Twisted Tales of Felix, and it's really cool to see the kind of surreal absurdness of a lot of rubber hose era cartoons reinterpreted with 90s aesthetics and ideas. I also watched Quack Pack and... like... I don't know how to describe it, but it was so mean spirited and cruel and times that it made me uncomfortable even as a kid
I remember watching Princess Tenko as a kid and oddly preferred the live action segments over the animation. I still even remember a couple of the "you can do these tricks at home" bits.
Man, you eviscerated Quack Pack 😂 I loved it as a preteen! But your points on others not liking it because it wasn’t an adventure show like Duck Tales or Darkwing make a lot of sense (and I loved those shows, too). I honestly don’t remember it well, but I remember thinking it was really funny in a quirky way, and also relatable - somewhat rebellious and sarcastic teens figuring out life with a single parent. Though, I am very happy to let it live on in my memory as something I enjoyed and not shatter that by trying to rewatch it 😂
Yeah it reminded me of the direction Goof Troop went, a self contained universe with fun plots. I enjoyed both as a kid and I felt Quack Pack had better writing than many of the shows he actually treated respectfully.
Maybe because the show was all over the place and was waaaaaaaay too far removed from OG Ducktales for fans to latch on and they made the nephews basically unlikable, luckily the Reboot proved the concept could be done right
@djpegao That's not why I wondered where the show went. I personally had no complaints. I grew up with 2 other brothers my age, and it was cool to see them (Huey, Louie, and Duey) as teenagers as we were also now teenagers and getting into some of our own teenage adventures irl. Shout out to you though for thinking that you know why I wondered exactly why they took a good show like Quack Pack off the air, for me. Lol
@djpegao Ducktales was slightly before my time, so catching an episode of the original show was a treat for me. By the time Quack Pack released, I was well into middle school, buying my first Smash mouth CD, so I was absolutely the target audience lol I love both shows individually, though I think Ducktales still has better legs, despite my nostalgic love for QP
Quackpack is the one show on this list I looked forward to and tried to catch as many episodes as I could. Think its disingenuous to compare it to ducktales since it wasnt trying to be ducktales, but a modern take on the og Donald duck disney shorts where he and his nephews terrorized each other.
Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat is honestly one I happily go back and watch here and there. I watched Flash Gordon and Quack Pack, but I'd be hard pressed to say I remember them fondly.
I actually remember 'Road Rovers', and enjoying it quite a lot. But what was TRULY strange was how, decades later, I was suddenly reminded of the show when Grant Morrison released his darkly-satirical comic-book-series, 'We 3'. =)
Bruno The Kid!!!! I knew I wasn’t crazy 😂 I could hardly remember it and anytime I tried to explain it to someone they never knew WTH I was talking about! 😂😂😂
I remember that we liked Quack Pack very much back in the day. I watched Duck Tales when I was younger but somehow did not get the connection between the two shows. Because of that we probably went into it with less expectations. I remember liking the more exaggerated tone and setting.
I am 1987... I only recognize bruno the kid, so I must have been near it. Now of course I've absorbed and learned plenty of these as a retro adult. Thanks for pairing them into their era, I love info videos like this.
I remember Quack Pack. My only disappointment with it is that it really didnt followup Ducktales like it should have and went another route. I thought the triplets finally got some character growth which did kind of make its way into the Ducktales reboot.
Oh boy, I LOVED Quack Pack as a kid, as well as the “strange vibe/look” it had. The humor of the show reminded me of the Timon and Pumba spin-off series and the aesthetics were as 90’s as the Goofy Movie.
Even as an old Wing Commander Fan, it took me about 10 years to find out that this show existed at all and by this time its short-lived season was already long forgotten. PC-game magazines never mentioned the existence of a TV show , although by the time of 1996, WC-4 (The Price of Freedom) and Privateer 2, Wing Commander was still pretty famous and they could have added this fun fact in their reviews.
I think Quak Pack was awesome. I was hoping for a new show with Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Max (Goofys Son) and Mickeys 2 twin Nephews Morty and Ferdie as teenagers.
When I was a kid, I was so excited they were making a movie about it. Didn't realize it had nothing to do with the 2040 series until I was sitting in the theater with my mom.😭 "Where the f**k are the flying cars and gadgets?"
I had knowledge of The Phantom from the Flash Gordon: Defenders of the Earth and I love the cyberpunk genre. Having it animated by Peter Chung of Æon Flux made it a surefire hit in my heart.
Aside from Bruno The Kid, I have fond memories of all of these cartoons. Sometimes these were Sunday morning shows or at 6 something in the morning on a weekday. All of them were great in their own ways.
I definitely remember some of these. Road Rovers was definitely a favorite of mine back then. I remember not liking Quack Pack too much but can't recall it being that bad either
I remember watching a few of these shows while growing up in the 90’s but oddly enough this video reminded me that “Quack Pack” existed…i guess I wasn’t the only one who forgot it existed.
Thanks for including Tenko, as my friends and I enjoyed that show. It really deserves a reboot and to have a fully fleshed out story. I remember some of these, and some are total mysteries. Mortal Kombat was atrocious, and I want to find Phantom 2040. Then I want to cross it over with Knight Sabers (Bubblegum Crisis 2040). Keep up the awesome work.
Never thought of quackpack as a ducktales spin off. More like a 90s teen take on the original Donald duck and nephews disney shorts, like the one Donald is watching on projector in the opening. Which the opening set that expectation for me. But I suppose audiences watching disney duck TV shows would have an expectation of being related to ducktales.
As a kid, of course I never put that together. as an adult that never even crossed my mind that was supposed to be a spin off. Until now I literally just thought it was a modern day version of the three nephews and Donald. I think this is what people are talking about when they say this was meant for that generation at the time. Like the new version of rugrats that is currently out. I’m never gonna watch that because that’s clearly not for my generation who grew up on the original.
Twisted Tales of Felix... the first time I watched this show I was bedridden with high fever and for some reason they were doing a marathon on Cartoon Network... so I watched a show that already felt like a fever dream while having fever. I even fell asleep a couple of times and dreamt about the show. What a horrible experience.
Yo C.bear and Jamal was fresh yo, I use to watch it when I wake up and yawn😂, and mortal Kombat the animated series was awesome! I had some of the action figures too🤟😎
I was more of a street fighter kid. I tried my but they control were horrible and the gore wasn't enough to hold me, I did enjoy the lore and the character design though.
Interestingly that warrior king voiced by Micheal Dorn? He was in EVERY action extreme show and tied them together! In episodes of Street Fighter, Savage Dragon, Mortal Kombat and Wing Commander the king and his mystic green orb served as a cross universe plot spanning the shows. He even looked a little different in each show to match the art style!
Until a couple months ago I’ve had one specific scene/joke stuck in my memory for close to 30 years from the Felix show about the butcher making a mistake on his wording of “make me a weenie!” And getting turned into a hotdog.. finally found out that the whole show is here on UA-cam and it turns out… not only did I remember that scene remarkably well, but the show is actually really good!
I loved quack pack! So excited I'd I got home from school in time to catch it. Then Aladdin came on followed by Gargoyles..good times I also forgot about Road Rovers, I liked that show too
You forgot the Silver Surfer cartoon. It delved into the origins of Norin Radd. I don’t remember what his original career was, but he offered to become the cosmic vassal of the planet eating entity, Galactus, in order to spare his home planet from that cruel fate. It was not long before he made his way to earth and had compassion on the people. He wound up turning against Galactus and became a space nomad. This series was another that ended on a cliffhanger and no explanation was given.
Shows I remember most are C-bear and Jamal, Bruno the Kid and Quack Pack. This show had some memorable moments and a few standout episodes but it was never as good as Ducktales.
I loved Road Rovers. I didn't remember it being so short, but oh man, good memories watching that with my sister and dad❤.And usa action extrem team. Omg❤❤❤❤❤❤.
I was between 4 and 5 for a lot of these since my birthday is September 17th, 1991! I have vague memories of just about all these shows. Road Rovers, Bruno the Kid and Quack Pack I've definitely seen air on TV, I don't remember anything about them. It's cool to go down memory lane like this.
The Phantom was awesome. It was basically Batman Beyond before Batman Beyond. Interesting green message to it too, you did not get a lot of that back then.
I dont even remember the flash gordon one existed. BUT it made me remember that i looooved James Bond Jr. Im pretty sure that was also 90s but i have never heard of anyone else mention they watched it
30:35 It wasn't SUPPOSED to be DuckTales, and personally, AS a DuckTales fan, I liked Quack Pak as a more teen edgy "alternate universe" to the original show. It was different, and I liked different.
Definitely remember Mortal Kombat, heck that might have been one of the last cartoons I ever watched before I was too "cool" for them as I was growing up. Those USA cartoons were so bonkers in that era, I did love when they had crossovers with each other. That was always so cool!
Do You remember these?
Plenty here I've never heard of. Thanks for sharing these.

The storyboards showcased the teenage nephews and Webby in high school classrooms (indicating some of the plots/shenanigans would've been based around school and the struggles that can bring to teenagers). That initial pitch fell through, and the writing team reworked the show (removing all ties to 1987's "Ducktales" and adding more elements from the old "Donald Duck" cartoon shorts) until it became 1996's "Quack Pack". Despite being described by Disney+ as a continuation of 1987's "Ducktales", this is 100% false. There's no mention of the characters, events, etc from DT 1987. Only two things could be used as an argument for "Quack Pack" being a follow-up (and both can be dismissed):
1. A Beagle Boy (one of many offspring of Uncle Scrooge's nemesis Ma Beagle from "Ducktales") appears in one episode of "Quack Pack", but it's merely a dummy that is used as a target for an attack dog. This is most likely an easter egg, as none of the nephews recognize the dummy's appearance (i.e. "Hey, that dummy looks like one of those stooges from the junkyard who were always messing with Uncle Scrooge.").
2. An episode of "Quack Pack" revolves around Donald Duck owing an extra day of service in the Navy (which is where Donald was during the events of 1987's "Ducktales"), despite a prior declaration that he had completed his tour of duty. This can be dismissed as it is most likely a leftover from the initial 1993 "Duck Daze" pitch, but considering nearly every version of Donald Duck had some type of naval/military background, it doesn't necessarily tie the show to 1987's "Ducktales".

Separate show, separate universe.
I remember back when Mortal Kombat first started. I watched one episode, didn't see a single fatality, and never watched it again.
It's Kombat Time.
I watched it every week hoping it would get better and got disappointed week after week
Defenders of the Realm was bad but had an impressive voice cast. Clancy Brown, Dorian Harwood, Olivia D’Abo, Brian Tochi… plus John Rhys Davies, Kevin Richardson, Neil Ross, and John Vernon also had roles
You cant take gory video game n make a kids show out of it hahaha..its like turnin Spawn into a babysitter or somethin haha
@greg.soular An Awesome voice cast can't save u from being canceled!
it's weird to see phantom 2040 being referred to as a failure. critical acclaim for the mature and complex storytelling and environmentalist focus, managed to end its main arc on a satisfying note, developed a cult following, character designs by peter fucking chung. i watched the shit out of this show back in the day.
Phantom 2040 also had live lessons like not taking perfomance drugs (Swifter, Higher, Faster).
I agree, even the videogame was a banger!!!
I grew up with Quack Pack and I absolutely loved watching it I wish it had more seasons
Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm was a way better sequel to the 1995 movie than the sequel that eventually hit the big screen
It was a good series but the art could have been better. Also their travel cycles were a bit much.
I remember the Live Action TV show better than I do the cartoon. The live action series was the same kind of corny acting that was seen in shows like Hercules or Xena but still enjoyable. It was also a prequel series of sorts, featuring Kung Lao as the main star instead of Liu Kang. It also featured the beautiful Kristanna Loken before she hit her stride as an actress.
I had totally forgot about it till now.
Come on, they both were terrible in their own ways... And I'm not even talking about the animated movie "The adventure begins" which is... incredible (in so many ways).
I used to watch c Bear and Jamal every Saturday morning. I totally forgot about that cartoon! 😂😂😂
The opening song of "The Phantom" still lives in my head. I remember liking Bruno the Kid and it would come on before Extreme Ghostbusters before school. C Bear was great as one of those last really for kids shows as I was getting getting older. Now a days those kind of shoes are considered "designer." I loved Quack Pack! There was even an episode where they went to Roswell to film UFOs but they were just camera tricks.
C bear and Jamal was a hit in my book. I stumbled upon Bruno the Kid at the video store when I was little. I couldn't read and I thought it was Johnny Bravo when he was a little kid. When I popped the VHS tape in I was mad that it wasn't Johnny Bravo. I watched it and grew to like it for the 5 days that I had it.
A+ video!
LOVE IT! Such awesome-looking cartoon series, just incredible what gems keep coming from the 90s!
While I KNEW of some of these (Road Rovers, Mortal Kombat, C Bear and Jamal), the ONLY one I watched was Quack Pack
@chaosmachines934 cause like he said it took established characters and crapped on them with edgy 90s cringy cool vibes and aging like milk as it dates itself horribly lol and i grew up watching this and other shows growing up on disney afternoon but unlike the other shows quackpack doesnt hold up like i said its aged poorly lol
@@inuyasha989 that’s what I’ve heard but haven’t watched since the 90s so can’t verify myself
I watched C bear and Jamal. The theme song is cool!
I do remember C Bear and Jamal because I had a VHS with 3 episodes on it.
Is it just me or is Cree Summer a voice in every thing. She always got a job
Yes!
Her IMDB is insane
It's not you.
Cree Summer WAS a voice in everything, including KND, as Abigail Lincoln, aka Numbuh 5.
Holy crap, I remember Road Rovers! Thank you for helping me remember the title! Time to rewatch!
Quack Pack is easier to enjoy when you treat it as its own show and not as a sequel to Ducktales as unfortunately a lot of us were lead to believe.
I remember how much of a pain it was trying to watch Phantom 2040. You could go weeks without seeing it only to find it again by accident.
Man, 90s kid and all and there are only 2 of these that I don’t remember. Nostalgia is a helluva drug 😆
Also, fun-fact; 'Felix the Cat: the Movie' (a childhood favorite of mine) was itself supposed to be a pilot of sorts for a Canadian-produced series that never got made. (And yeah; even as a kid who loved Felix, I remember watching the pilot-episode of 'Twisted Tales' and, even at that age, thought to myself; "Wow, this is pretty messed up for a kids-show.") =O XD =)
I remember Road rovers, my favourite characters were Colleen, Blitz and Exile.
Are you telling me that the rapping teddy bear was a real cartoon. I thought that was a fever dream.
Somebody already made that joke
Me too lol
You are one of my favorite channels for that nostalgia review , hidden memories being unlocked
Thank you for watching and for commenting too!
I absolutely loved Twisted Tales of Felix, and it's really cool to see the kind of surreal absurdness of a lot of rubber hose era cartoons reinterpreted with 90s aesthetics and ideas.
I also watched Quack Pack and... like... I don't know how to describe it, but it was so mean spirited and cruel and times that it made me uncomfortable even as a kid
I remember watching Princess Tenko as a kid and oddly preferred the live action segments over the animation. I still even remember a couple of the "you can do these tricks at home" bits.
Man, you eviscerated Quack Pack 😂 I loved it as a preteen! But your points on others not liking it because it wasn’t an adventure show like Duck Tales or Darkwing make a lot of sense (and I loved those shows, too). I honestly don’t remember it well, but I remember thinking it was really funny in a quirky way, and also relatable - somewhat rebellious and sarcastic teens figuring out life with a single parent. Though, I am very happy to let it live on in my memory as something I enjoyed and not shatter that by trying to rewatch it 😂
Thanks for watching and for commenting too!
Yeah it reminded me of the direction Goof Troop went, a self contained universe with fun plots.
I enjoyed both as a kid and I felt Quack Pack had better writing than many of the shows he actually treated respectfully.
I still sing the theme song for C Bear and Jamal regularly 😂😂😂
Quack Pack was my favorite. I've wondered why the show didn't go on longer than 1 season.
Maybe because the show was all over the place and was waaaaaaaay too far removed from OG Ducktales for fans to latch on and they made the nephews basically unlikable, luckily the Reboot proved the concept could be done right
@djpegao That's not why I wondered where the show went. I personally had no complaints. I grew up with 2 other brothers my age, and it was cool to see them (Huey, Louie, and Duey) as teenagers as we were also now teenagers and getting into some of our own teenage adventures irl. Shout out to you though for thinking that you know why I wondered exactly why they took a good show like Quack Pack off the air, for me. Lol
@djpegao Ducktales was slightly before my time, so catching an episode of the original show was a treat for me. By the time Quack Pack released, I was well into middle school, buying my first Smash mouth CD, so I was absolutely the target audience lol
I love both shows individually, though I think Ducktales still has better legs, despite my nostalgic love for QP
Quackpack is the one show on this list I looked forward to and tried to catch as many episodes as I could. Think its disingenuous to compare it to ducktales since it wasnt trying to be ducktales, but a modern take on the og Donald duck disney shorts where he and his nephews terrorized each other.
@@djpegao As an OG Ducktales fan, I beg to disagree. I felt like the brothers had finally grown up with me. I LOVED IT!
Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat is honestly one I happily go back and watch here and there. I watched Flash Gordon and Quack Pack, but I'd be hard pressed to say I remember them fondly.
I love the SNES game Wing Commander (1991) I was 6 and I'd played Wing Commander with my late wonderful dad , He loved NES and SNES.
I actually remember 'Road Rovers', and enjoying it quite a lot. But what was TRULY strange was how, decades later, I was suddenly reminded of the show when Grant Morrison released his darkly-satirical comic-book-series, 'We 3'. =)
Bruno The Kid!!!! I knew I wasn’t crazy 😂 I could hardly remember it and anytime I tried to explain it to someone they never knew WTH I was talking about! 😂😂😂
I remember that we liked Quack Pack very much back in the day. I watched Duck Tales when I was younger but somehow did not get the connection between the two shows. Because of that we probably went into it with less expectations. I remember liking the more exaggerated tone and setting.
Phantom 2040 was up there with aeon flux for hard to follow but worth the effort.
I’ll give USA credit, they couldn’t hit a home run for on them cartoon for anything but they damn sure came to the plate ready to hit a double
Quack Pack was my SHOW!!! I used to watch it after school.
Mortal Kombat and C-Bear and Jamal were my jam!!! Loved both🤘🤘🤘
I am 1987... I only recognize bruno the kid, so I must have been near it. Now of course I've absorbed and learned plenty of these as a retro adult. Thanks for pairing them into their era, I love info videos like this.
I just watched and loved Road Rovers, C Bear and Jamal and Quack Pack.
Also, Donald Duck's nephews are named Huey, Dewey, and Louie. ❤💙💚
I remember Quack Pack. My only disappointment with it is that it really didnt followup Ducktales like it should have and went another route. I thought the triplets finally got some character growth which did kind of make its way into the Ducktales reboot.
Road rovers! Memory unlocked 😮 Didn’t even think about this show for over 20 years but I just remembered the entire theme song.
All your videos give me at least one "oh yeah" moment.
That's Awesome thanks for watching
I agreed lol😂
@@GeBuddy his recent video mentioning Sky Dancers reminded me of the toy my sister had LOL!
I used to love watching Quack Pack before school back when it first premiered...
Fun Fact: Mortal Kombat show was the introduction of Quan Chi.
Oh boy, I LOVED Quack Pack as a kid, as well as the “strange vibe/look” it had. The humor of the show reminded me of the Timon and Pumba spin-off series and the aesthetics were as 90’s as the Goofy Movie.
Wing Commander was probably my favorite PC game growing up, I was super excited it had a cartoon.
Even as an old Wing Commander Fan, it took me about 10 years to find out that this show existed at all and by this time its short-lived season was already long forgotten. PC-game magazines never mentioned the existence of a TV show , although by the time of 1996, WC-4 (The Price of Freedom) and Privateer 2, Wing Commander was still pretty famous and they could have added this fun fact in their reviews.
I remember watching Mortal Kombat, Felix, and Quack Pack. It was pretty popular here in my country when I was a kid.
I think Quak Pack was awesome. I was hoping for a new show with Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Max (Goofys Son) and Mickeys 2 twin Nephews Morty and Ferdie as teenagers.
As a 39 year old I will admit that I loved Quack Pack, Freakazoid, Mortal Kombat : Defenders Of The Realm.
Quack Pack is the Disney reboot we need during these dividing times.
I loved most of these shows, though I had forgotten about them. Thanks for the reminder.
Phantom 2040 should never been canceled in the first place. 😀👍
A cyberpunk phantom show would be great even today. It had a lot to say with a more mature handling of environmental themes than Captain Planet.
@@Healthy_Toki I agree. 😀👍
When I was a kid, I was so excited they were making a movie about it. Didn't realize it had nothing to do with the 2040 series until I was sitting in the theater with my mom.😭
"Where the f**k are the flying cars and gadgets?"
@@tenchistreams same bro same
I had knowledge of The Phantom from the Flash Gordon: Defenders of the Earth and I love the cyberpunk genre. Having it animated by Peter Chung of Æon Flux made it a surefire hit in my heart.
I remember even as a 9 year old being frustrated at never knowing then the phantom would be on. I REALLY wanted to be into that show.
Aside from Bruno The Kid, I have fond memories of all of these cartoons. Sometimes these were Sunday morning shows or at 6 something in the morning on a weekday. All of them were great in their own ways.
Loved Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat. Had a VHS with Space Time Twister. Good memories.
I grew up in the 90s and Felix and Quack Pack are the only ones I remember, I actually liked watching Quack Pack, so each their own.
I definitely remember some of these. Road Rovers was definitely a favorite of mine back then. I remember not liking Quack Pack too much but can't recall it being that bad either
The Quack Pack was so good.
That show sucked
The only shows here I remember are C-Bear and Jamal and Quack Pack. Well done and informative video.
Thanks
I remember nothing about the show but instantly recognized the theme song for Bruno the Kid.
I loved Road Rovers and Felix. Such a great time for cartoons.
Phantom 2040 was so good! I loved it and when the movie came out with Billy Zane, it was so awesome to see!
Wait...Bruno the Kid was _real?_
I thought it was a fever-dream that I had when I was home sick from school.
Omg me too. I forgot this existed.
I remember watching a few of these shows while growing up in the 90’s but oddly enough this video reminded me that “Quack Pack” existed…i guess I wasn’t the only one who forgot it existed.
I have watched ALL of these cartoons when they were on TV.
Thanks for including Tenko, as my friends and I enjoyed that show. It really deserves a reboot and to have a fully fleshed out story.
I remember some of these, and some are total mysteries. Mortal Kombat was atrocious, and I want to find Phantom 2040. Then I want to cross it over with Knight Sabers (Bubblegum Crisis 2040).
Keep up the awesome work.
Thank you. Yeah, it does deserve a reboot
Never thought of quackpack as a ducktales spin off. More like a 90s teen take on the original Donald duck and nephews disney shorts, like the one Donald is watching on projector in the opening. Which the opening set that expectation for me. But I suppose audiences watching disney duck TV shows would have an expectation of being related to ducktales.
As a kid, of course I never put that together. as an adult that never even crossed my mind that was supposed to be a spin off. Until now I literally just thought it was a modern day version of the three nephews and Donald. I think this is what people are talking about when they say this was meant for that generation at the time. Like the new version of rugrats that is currently out. I’m never gonna watch that because that’s clearly not for my generation who grew up on the original.
I sooo remember Princess Tenko!! This show is underrated.
Flash Gordon Cartoon and Phantom 2040 is what introduce to the characters.
Twisted Tales of Felix... the first time I watched this show I was bedridden with high fever and for some reason they were doing a marathon on Cartoon Network... so I watched a show that already felt like a fever dream while having fever. I even fell asleep a couple of times and dreamt about the show.
What a horrible experience.
As a kid, I hated the Phantoms animation, like elongated limbs, but now I admire the unique look they were going for.
Yo C.bear and Jamal was fresh yo, I use to watch it when I wake up and yawn😂, and mortal Kombat the animated series was awesome! I had some of the action figures too🤟😎
My childhood was fueled by *GET OVER HERE!*
Same! 😂
😂😂😂
I was more of a street fighter kid. I tried my but they control were horrible and the gore wasn't enough to hold me, I did enjoy the lore and the character design though.
Interestingly that warrior king voiced by Micheal Dorn? He was in EVERY action extreme show and tied them together! In episodes of Street Fighter, Savage Dragon, Mortal Kombat and Wing Commander the king and his mystic green orb served as a cross universe plot spanning the shows. He even looked a little different in each show to match the art style!
Holy shit … CJ and Jamal!
I watched a handful of these (C-Bear, Quack Pack), others I was vaguely aware of
CC Bear and Jamal eventually got two full length Hollywood blockbuster films under the title Ted.
Until a couple months ago I’ve had one specific scene/joke stuck in my memory for close to 30 years from the Felix show about the butcher making a mistake on his wording of “make me a weenie!” And getting turned into a hotdog.. finally found out that the whole show is here on UA-cam and it turns out… not only did I remember that scene remarkably well, but the show is actually really good!
1996 had a lot of great cartoons drop and some that were good that just didn’t land with everyone
I loved quack pack! So excited I'd I got home from school in time to catch it. Then Aladdin came on followed by Gargoyles..good times
I also forgot about Road Rovers, I liked that show too
You forgot the Silver Surfer cartoon. It delved into the origins of Norin Radd. I don’t remember what his original career was, but he offered to become the cosmic vassal of the planet eating entity, Galactus, in order to spare his home planet from that cruel fate. It was not long before he made his way to earth and had compassion on the people. He wound up turning against Galactus and became a space nomad. This series was another that ended on a cliffhanger and no explanation was given.
Shows I remember most are C-bear and Jamal, Bruno the Kid and Quack Pack. This show had some memorable moments and a few standout episodes but it was never as good as Ducktales.
I watched quack pack. I liked it I felt like it was a continuation of duck tails .
I loved Road Rovers. I didn't remember it being so short, but oh man, good memories watching that with my sister and dad❤.And usa action extrem team. Omg❤❤❤❤❤❤.
As an Aeon Flux fan, I am getting big Peter Chung art vibes from Phantom 2040.
I think he did the designs.
I was between 4 and 5 for a lot of these since my birthday is September 17th, 1991! I have vague memories of just about all these shows. Road Rovers, Bruno the Kid and Quack Pack I've definitely seen air on TV, I don't remember anything about them. It's cool to go down memory lane like this.
Road Rovers needs to become a live action computer animated movie.
"Live action computer animated" is an oxymoron.
The Phantom was awesome. It was basically Batman Beyond before Batman Beyond. Interesting green message to it too, you did not get a lot of that back then.
So Biff from Back to the Future has a Richard Simmons impersonation? I have to see that now.
I dont even remember the flash gordon one existed.
BUT it made me remember that i looooved James Bond Jr. Im pretty sure that was also 90s but i have never heard of anyone else mention they watched it
30:35 It wasn't SUPPOSED to be DuckTales, and personally, AS a DuckTales fan, I liked Quack Pak as a more teen edgy "alternate universe" to the original show. It was different, and I liked different.
Loved C-Bear and Jamal.
Definitely remember Mortal Kombat, heck that might have been one of the last cartoons I ever watched before I was too "cool" for them as I was growing up.
Those USA cartoons were so bonkers in that era, I did love when they had crossovers with each other. That was always so cool!
