CHILDHOOD NOSTALGIA

I had a friend who would go into a uncontrollable rage every time someone sang the Gummi Bears theme near him.
This was of course great fun in the schoolyard.
Kentona's got some good picks.
Mask actually still looks pretty sweet. I like the designs at least, and the animation still holds up pretty good for an 80s cartoon. I'll have to see if I can find any episodes of it.
I think if you want to get technical, I probably lost my virginity to Cheetara. I still really like the theme for this show (just the music, the lyrics are atrocious of course).
Optimus Prime did the narration for this show. It's actually on Hulu, and it is astronomically awful. Like I expected it to be fairly bad, but it's so bad I can't believe it was ever even popular at all.
I still haven't watched the new GI Joe Movie. I saw a like 7 part GI-Joe mini-series cartoon awhile back that was really well done though.

There was a Teddy Ruxpin cartoon? Why am I only finding out about this now?!
It was a totally awesome show! I based the airship in HR on the airship in Teddy Ruxpin (Rei- did the the actual charset, though ^_^ )
Woolly Whatsits are awesome.
Every sunday when this game on, me, my brother and even my father would sit and watch it. Suddenly; the show just stopped airing new episodes. :(
I hated reboot. I really, really fucking hated reboot. I hate bob's stupid fucking dreads, I hate that dumb ass little token kid and his equally token oversized dog.
Epic win. ;_;!
GaoGaiGar will always have a place in my heart.

Alright, Reboot sucks. Or atleast the first episode does.
you're not allowed to crush childhood dreams ):

It's good to see people in touch with their childhood... but could we please relent on posting the excessive videos? I'm afraid they're causing epic lag on my computer. There's always hotlinks.
I like what I see, however!

Speaking of Disney ones...

Those were in English and they were awesome. By the time the next generation of those came (Goof Troop and whatnot) they were dubbed into Finnish and were considerably less awesome.
... and maybe it is due to childhood nostalgia but the swedish versions (sung almost exclusively by Peter Göback) are superb, and even exceeds the originals (whereas in Aladin, comparing peter göback to the original male singer is... a joke)
(the alternate version which I think was later but not as good - yet i still remember it better)
ALSO, anyone remembers this?

I did have a Swedish VHS of Ducktales as well as those casette-books ("när du hör den här signalen, då vet du att det är dags att vända blad") so that theme is sort of ingrained into my head. But the Swedish Rescue Rangers theme I can not quite get behind.
Though the Gummi Bears in Swedish. That was the king of kings.
