Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Brainy-2 This series will always hold a special place in my memory. I turned 12 years old in November of 1969, and the 1969 - 1970 season was really the last time I regularly watched cartoons on Saturday morning. I was just starting to take an interest in girls on a romantic level, and I vaguely recall identifying with the Terry Dexter character. I often found myself daydreaming about rescuing a beautiful blonde princess from the clutches of an evil villain. In the trivia section, it mentions that the final episode is "rare" because it only aired once. Frankly, I have no recollection of any episode airing more than twice (initially, and then during summer reruns).As of April 2007, there is currently only one episode available for viewing on YouTube, and it's in Spanish. Alas, while Princess Dawn is still as pretty as I remembered her, I now realize that the title character is just an ersatz Yosemite Sam. I could purchase the DVD that is currently available to see if the English speaking voices I grew up with jog any nostalgic feelings, but I have a hunch it will ultimately lead to disappointment. With just about everything being released on DVD, one can now easily explore anything that was popular in one's youth. Unfortunately, one can never be 11 years old again.
thecosmichobo "Here Comes the Grump" would have to be one of those shows that you used to watch as a kid on a Saturday morning along with all the other cartoons - both old and new, but unlike "Voltron", "Transformers", or even "He-Man", you don't really feel a dying urge to see again.Just watching the titles sequence on youtube.com is probably enough of a memory trip without the need to actually watch an episode. Yes, it wasn't completely manufactured by one's imagination. Yes, there was a "Yosamite Sam" type character that rode a fire sneezing dragon. Yes, there was a princess, dashing young lad, and a weird pet. That is truly enough to know and see.
