Does anyone have Cities of Gold on VHS?
Posted by Victor Menendez, 15:31, 21st January 2003:
 
What, all six months of it? that show seemed to go on for ever.
Posted by Grim..., 15:48, 21st January 2003:
 
Was that the show in which that Kid flew that giant golden Condor?

If it was, that rocked =]

cities of gold went on for bloody years! I love that cartoon.

did any one else watch the adventures of willy fog - you know, that big dog thing or whatever the hell it was, who went around the world in 80 days?
Posted by Sul, 16:09, 21st January 2003:
 
yeah, I used to watch it. Not one of my favourites though I must say.
Posted by chandler, 16:09, 21st January 2003:
 
he was a lion surely. 80 days around the world, well find a pot of gold sitting at the rainbows ending....lalalala
Posted by chandler, 16:10, 21st January 2003:
 
80scartoons.8k.com/willyfog.html this site says he was a dog but the picture shows that he was blatantly a lion
Posted by chandler, 16:11, 21st January 2003:
 
the same site then says:

Based upon the famous Jules Verne story, 80 Days Around the World with Willy Fog was a cartoon series starring a variety of animal characters, with Willy Fog as a lion. His companions were his butler Rigadon, a raccoon/chipmunk-type thing, and Tiko, a mouse. The Evil Transfer was the evil weasel, and Romy was the love interest, in the form of a cat.
Posted by Rosie, 16:12, 21st January 2003:
 
No - it was a bit strange in some parts. Eg; The little bum licking mouse thing that followed them around in dungerees.

But your all forgetting "Dogtanian and the three muskehounds"
Posted by Grim..., 16:29, 21st January 2003:
 
I nearly mention Dogtanian, but I couldn't be arsed to type the title out!
Posted by Rosie, 16:30, 21st January 2003:
 
All for one and one for all Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah

Now that was a cool song...
Posted by arsepuppy, 16:30, 21st January 2003:
 
Bloody hell, it's turning into a fansite for Haim-Saban-translated-from-foreign cartoons. We'll be talking about Belle & Sebastian next (the cartoon, not the twee Scottish band).



FWIW, Cities of Gold rocked.
Posted by arsepuppy, 16:31, 21st January 2003:
 
And to think, Mr Saban went on to make "Power Rangers". Tsk, Mr Saban.

what about jason and the wheeled warriors, huh? no one ever mentions them
Posted by Grim..., 18:15, 21st January 2003:
 
And no-one but me seems to remember Pole Position (with the talking red car and the (shock) talking blue car).
Posted by Grim..., 18:15, 21st January 2003:
 
And we can't forget Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles...
Posted by Sul, 19:24, 21st January 2003:
 
Cal: It was "Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors" and I mention them at least once a month.

Grim... The cars never actually talked, they had on board computers, Wheels in Tess's Red 64 Mustang and Roadie in Dan's Blue Hotrod. This was one of my favourite EVER cartoons. Along with MASK.

Who remembers "The Toxic Avenger"? That rocked too.
Posted by Sul, 19:27, 21st January 2003:
 
Or was it called "The Toxic Crusaders"?

And who can forget, "Captain Planet"?
Posted by chandler, 19:55, 21st January 2003:
 
He's our hero, gonna take polution down to zero, use our powers, magnified and he's fighting on the planet's side.

Or something like that. It was sickeningly politically correct.
Posted by cal, 20:18, 21st January 2003:
 
ahh, jayce, that was it. no one ever seems to remember it and i was beginning to think it was all in my head.
Posted by Redmaiden, 22:17, 21st January 2003:
 
OH MY GOD Cities of Gold *happy memories* yeah Philius Fog was wikkid!
Oh and I liked Bel and Sebastien, is that the one with that big pyranean dog?
I remeber quite a few foreing kids programmes that were badly dubbed - Silas or summit?

I'll never forget Pigeon Street *sigh*
Posted by cal, 23:14, 21st January 2003:
 
If you lived in Pigeon Street,
Here are the people you could meet,
Here are the people who would say
Hello, Goodbye, Hello, Goodbye
Every day

If you lived in Pigeon Street,
Here are the people you could meet,
Here are the people who would share
the sights, the sounds, the air
Where pigeons beat their wings, wings beat.
Pigeons beat their wings, wings beat
to meet in Pigeon Street

These cartoon discussions get soooooo repetative. I get enough of 80s cartoons on my degree without discussing them in my leisure time. :D

Can't believe I haven't mentioned this sooner!!

Who remembers the Family Ness????

McTout blows on his bagpipes,
whilst Elspeth & Angus watch those notes go floating across the Waves.
Ferocious-Ness appears at once, and grabs a note or two for lunch,
And the whole of the Family Ness is not too far behind
Sporty-Ness leaps over him,
Turns up-side-down and dives back in,
And the beautiful Lovely-Ness shows she's the kissing kind!
Eyewit-Ness comes up for air,
And taking notes without a care,
He turns, with a crash, and a bash and and a splash,
To the Family Ness......
Posted by Redmaiden, 23:51, 29th January 2003:
 
I watched it too

From; "80's Cartoons"

"Surely about half of these are 80's cartoons? I always saw He-Man, Thundercats and the crew as symbolic of the market-led economy of the 80's, Thatcher and the Falklands War...

But, "BLATANTLY", these cartoons are far superior to what the kids are watching today. Why do these cartoons create such nostalgia? Will there be a big late 90's early 00's revival in a few years time?"

No! This nostalgia is just trying to make up for the fact that things are dull these days. When a serious discussion of "Family Ness" beats any other issue hands down, it makes you wonder what else people have in common apart from an internet connection and usually living in the Home Counties.

what is your problem? you're free to leave
