Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
haildevilman Mind you....that isn't a bad thing.Spice it up with more sci-fi and give him regular companions and we have Thundarr. Which is a cool name by the way.The apocalyptic intro seems more frightening as a 10-14 year old. (Which I was at the time.) But it sets a great stage. Also the lack of a running story made it a little more fun. However, it also suggests a lack of faith in the project.This was on a little later in the morning on Saturdays so it was probably aimed at older kids. I didn't see it as much as I'd liked. But it's worth remembering. I'm surprised your comic-con and "cosplay" types don't go here more often. Princess Ariel seems like an American anime at times. Only smart.Thank you Cartoon Network/Boomerang for bringing it back.
keela32 Thundarr was one of best cartoons that has ever been made. I had to clean up my room every Saturday morning before I could watch it but it was worth it. At 32,I try to let the kids experience the things I grew up with. And they love them.Thank you for the memories and please bring them back.Is there any way these cartoons like Thundarr and the Herculoids be brought back to TV? Can we start a petition to these rolling? I would love my son be opened up to these cartoons I loved so much.Some can teach lessons that can be valuable in life. Remember how conservative Ariel was? How she was so calm in a crisis and Thundarr was so gungho. The love I have for this cartoon is extreme. Thanks for listening.I thought this cartoon was lost to the hands of time.Sometimes I look at the things that is on today and wonder where in the world do they get this stuff. They could teach a thing or two about friendship because they would never leave one another behind and that is #1 rule of being a friend.
Akzidenz_Grotesk It was in the episode entitled "Raiders of the Abyss" which is on a 3-episode tape I got at a yard sale. In it, there is a scene with the evil wizard Morak sitting on his throne and being saluted by his henchmen. These aren't the exact words, but you get the idea:Henchmen: All hail Morak! All hail Morak! All hail Morak!Morak: I cannot live on just cheers... bring me my supper!The flippant, sneering "cheers" comment is unexpected because Morak seems to be poking fun at the Saturday morning cartoon convention of evil leaders and their mindless followers! It's hilarious! (to me, anyways!)
Brian Washington This had to be one of the best animated shows of the early 1980's. The plot was pretty simple; a barbarian, a witch and a mutant creature known as a mock travel across the United States a thousand years after a disaster destroys most of the world. They go around fighting wizards and other assorted creatures in hopes of bringing order back to the world. This main thing I loved about this show was the fact that it wasn't like most of the animated shows at the time that felt they had to give a weekly ethics lesson. This show was just pure action from start to finish and it was just great entertainment without any hidden messages. I think this show will always stand the test of time and will always be recognized as a great action/adventure series.
