I am such a happy panda that i got to experience the 80s cartoons.

Not the worst things to indoctrinate your kids with. Good triumphing over evil and all that jazz.

 

[Goro Majima]

It's from 1992 but fuck it - this one slapped the hardest to me as a kid

 

[QSD]

My favourite song/intro is this one, it just has it all
Also: humans and aliens team up to fight broccoli and other vegetables. That's how you appeal to kids!

Before Disney ruined everything.

80s cartoons were the reason we inhabited the planet Earth.

I'd replace a couple of those with the following:

[Thing on a Spring]

If Ulysses 31 isn't in top place, the fix is in.

 

[IfuckinghateReddit]

If Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs isn't in top place, the fix is in.

80's cartoon intros was an art form by itself. Most of the times they had much better animation and production values than the main episodes in order to lure you in. And the music was always catchy and memorable, for the same reason. I think this is lost now.

Holy shit talk about the good old days. Back when a man could wear a mustache in a cartoon. lol. Some of those I've legit never seen. Who sang all those intros? What a a weird job to have.

They could make a streaming network of nothing but the '80s and '90s cartoons and I'd be in day 0.

The original french intro of Ulysse 31 is the bomb.

Damn, no GI Joe?

But I'm impressed at how much diversity was present even back then. Virtually every show has female and minority characters. And wow, toy commercial as tv show was in full effect

And man, I've forgotten those laser and explosion effects everyone used back then. I remember drawing big bubbly fireballs and liquidy lasers trying to imitate it.

It was a wise decision to outsource to Japan.

No Voltron (posted above) and Kidd Video equals fail:

MASK was the best, but also Pole Position was really good. I also loved Power Ranger's opening.

Lots of american cartoons made by Sunrise went to my country with their original theme, it's crazy since we usually remade the openings using new lyrics and a local singer.

I think I've seen this thread before.

The French ones are better.

Dogtanian - the worst intro song ever. And to think they included that over Battle of the Planets, oh the shame if it... But kudos for Ulysses...
