  • Imagine a show like He-Man, except this one, also contains a princess, her mind-controlling brother, and most importantly, a lance-wielding protagonist! This is precisely what Galtar and the Golden Lance is about. While the setting of the show is somewhat quirky, this is a forgotten but priceless sword-and-sorcery animated classic from the 80s that makes for a very entertaining watch. Released by Syndicated and produced by Hanna Barbera productions, this show ran from 1985 to 1986 as a part of ‘The Futuristic World of Hanna Barbera’ for a total length of twenty-one episodes. The show follows the three main characters’ quest to defeat Tormack, a tyrannical villain who is attempting to take over the world.

    GALTAR felt like it took place 3000 years after THUNDAAR. The hero is of the family line of Thundaar. The lance is from the same creators of the SUN SWORD.

      why not 2100 years he would be the grandson of Thundarr! They also look alike in genetics and wardrobe so yeah they belong to the same tribe!

      @Ralph felix: Well Ooklah the Mok's Steed and Galtars Steed look Eirely similar, the same species most likely, and there both Hanna Barbera shows so of course there connected, now how do we bring the Herculoids Into the mix .

    Goltar and the Golden Lance was one of the most coolest 😎action/adventure cartoon series that I've ever watched as a child growing up in the nineteen eighties. It's just so terribly sad 😥that the cartoon ended without Goltar and his companions Princess Goleta & her brother Zorn getting so much as a final winner 🏆takes all battle against their enemy Tormak and his forces of evil 😈!

    My Favorite show from the Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera on Sunday Mornings in the mid-80s. I was crushed when the show was canceled before the storyline concluded. Brock Peters' voice acting portrayal of Tormak was unforgettably scary & intimidating. When The Pirates Of Dark Water debuted a few years later, I immediately recognized him as the voice of the Pirate Lord Bloth. RIP.

      @GhostbustersXX13 2 роки тому +1

      Here's the thing about reboots. If we get one then the original will naturally be more readily available like blu ray and digital copies. Look at The Punisher as an example. First one came out in 1989, first blu ray only came out in 2007 three years after the first reboot and again in 2013 for popularity of Marvel movies and shows. Otherwise it gets harder and harder find them legit. Perfect example of that is Dr Syn Scarecrow by Disney.

    Galtar And The Golden Lance deserved some comeback by the following:
    Crossover into fighting games like Soul Calibur, Guilty Gear, BlazBlue.
    Crossover with Master Of The Universe, Thundercats, Thundarr The Barbarian, Blackstar in comics, video games (Fighting, Turn Based RPG like X-com , Action RPG like Diablo, Strategy like Warcraft) and animation.
    Potential live action movie adaption (from director Peter Jackson, Taika Waititi, Gore Verbinski, Duncan Jones).
    Most importantly, need a proper ending with final confrontation.

    Just realized that I have been so busy watching your amazingly informative and well put together videos, that I have forgot to comment on any of them. So here is that comment. I have entire playlist with names such as Marvelous Entertainment and Marvelous Horror that are A: Large playlists, not just 2-3 videos. B: a marvelous tool to cure random bouts of boredom. Whether or not I pick at random or watch in the order of whatever countdown video I stole the title from. C: Your channel's videos are literally a source of nostalgia on tap
    A huge thank you for this very honestly named channel you call Marvelous Videos. Not sure why there are a multitude of voice actors, that is confusing sometimes. No biggie though. Literally everything else more than makes up for that small concern.
    Disclaimer: I do not currently nor have I ever worked for or known anyone involved with running this channel. I do realize it sounds like a commercial. 100% legit testimony. Promise
