Great video Heath! Here's some more: Visionaries, Mask, The Littles, Gobots, Dungeons & Dragons, The Smurfs, Hanna-Barbera in the 80s, DuckTales, Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers, Gummie Bears, Talespin, Dark Wing Duck, Heathcliff, The Snorks, The Get Along Gang, etc
Blackstar, Thundarr The Barbarian, and Danger Mouse. I want to include The Herculoids, but they were from the 60s and were only reruns in the 80s. Love the channel!
Thank you my good friend. Because of your wonderful video I was able to recall all the amazing shows that I watched as a kid back in the 90s and early 00s.
I'm obsessed with this channel! I live Street Sharks, Toxic Crusaders, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! 80s toons are the best! I could go on and on, lol!
I agree with your point about re-connecting with your childhood. I am a nostalgic person by nature. It is a part of who I am. To go back and enjoy cartoons or movies from my childhood is a regular occurrence for me. The big TV shows for me are Thundercats, TMNT, Rocky & Bullwinkle, and Batman: The Animated Series. I also absolutely love Transformers, Speed Racer, Dennis the Menace, Heathcliff, and so many others. The other point that I want to make is that I own the "Old School" sets of Sesame Street, and I love watching Care Bears, and others like that. Does it make sense for a 34-year-old man to watch those titles? Maybe not. But it works for me.
I think it makes total sense for anyone of any age to watch something that makes them happy. I have the first Sesame Street old school set and I love it. I need to get the other volumes. My philosophy is love what you love and don't ever compromise. When we retain our child-like innocence, we look at the world in a brighter, more optimistic way. being connected to our inner child fuels our imaginations, our creativity, and reinforces our moral compass. Thanks for the great comment, David.
Dave Care Bears was still on when I was in high school first thing in the morning so everyone watched it before school getting. Strangely enough nobody was teased about watching it as we all did. You were teased if you "dissed it".
I meant to talk about that in this video but I missed it. I have the Mill Creek version of the complete series, and i love it. That cartoon had some great writing. Plus, it had Peter Cullen in it! Great pick!
Great collection and content. I was able to indulge in all of the cartoons and children programs of the mid 1970 all through the 1980s to the 1990s and more. When I was a kid before cable tv, Saturday morning was the best day of the week. Amazing time, great cartoons plus all the themed toys. I even remember a rubik's cube cartoon. Peace.
Fellow 80s child here (born in '76), & your asides about growing up in a highly conservative, religious family are fascinating. I appreciate your willingness to share those stories; it's important first-hand history of growing up in that era! It's equally fascinating to me, personally, because I grew up in a conservative, patriotic, Reagan-loving family...but without the religion. "If you want to be religious," my dad told my sister and I, "go ahead. Just don't push your views onto others, and don't let them push theirs onto you." We never once went to church or owned a Bible, and not once in junior high was I ever told I couldn't watch USA Up All Night or play Double Dragon. A neighbor around the same age was from a Jehovah Witness family, and 8-year-old Me couldn't wrap my head around how a kid wasn't allowed to celebrate birthdays, holidays, pop culture and heroes. All the neighbor kids played together & rode bikes together, but when it came time to celebrate something, he had to go home. He didn't even need to be called home by his parents; he KNEW that when the He-Man figures and Atari games came out, he couldn't stay. My point, I think, is that it's interesting just how much our lives can have in common (love of pop culture, 80s cartoons & toys, conservative upbringing), yet still lived through such different childhoods. Thanks again for sharing. I think this is the second time I've watched this video. Cool to note how He-Man/She-ra/Voltron have all had re-releases since you recorded this. You're right - it's hard to believe these particular cartoons were out of print as long as they were.
Very interesting stuff, and thanks for sharing something so personal. And yes, isn’t it cool that so many of these shows mentioned have been re-released? We’ve covered most of them and are trying to keep the spirit alive!
Favorite video so far! Late to the party but accepting your invitation to the party. I actually just got into DVD collecting seriously and have some stuff on order. I made a video about it, mentioned you and James Rolfe. Have not uploaded it anywhere yet because I want to make sure I know what I want to do with it first. But just wanted to say thanks for the videos and creating a community for this hobby. I think film collecting is sorely in need of better communities. Gaming has a lot, film collecting feels pretty limited.
I've got the 30th anniversary box set of he-man that has the complete original series, complete 2000s series and a handful of episodes from new adventures
I watched so many of those cartoons growing up, in the Netherlands. Love em! I haven't got many on dvd though, only the Transformers series / collection. Might take a look at which are on dvd / available now. I remember loving so many of those cartoons like Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, GI Joe, Thundercats, Inspector Gadget and many many more... good times, good memories!
Nice video. It's not only good because I can cheer everytime I'm seeing the title I love but also because there are some cartoons I wasn't awere of and I need to check them so it's a win win situation. That's what I like about your videos - if I know topic I can compare our views, if not I would learn something new. And it's crazy how many cartoons you couldn't watch. I only drank tea but man it went quickly :D Also that TMNT van set looks so neat, maybe not practical but still.
LOL to you drinking tea when I said I couldn't watch something. Thanks for the kind comment, PC! Th TMNT set is really great and I am glad to have it, especially since now I can just admire it and not have to worry about it tipping over or rolling off a shelf or a table.
I have an old recorded tape with several episodes of Rambo on it. I would like to get those. I really need Chuck Norris's Karate Komandos in order to complete my Norris filmography!!
I just picked up the last two volumes a couple of days ago. The new movie (Last Blood) reminded me that I needed to finish the run, and I don’t know how much longer they’ll be in print. They seem to be getting harder to find. I need to get Karate Kommandos too!
I don’t want him to be killed either. He’s America’s hero! I can’t remember though, doesn’t the character die in the original Morrell novel? I think he does.
I'm not sure. I do know this, if he was to die it should have just been in First Blood. They filmed it. They chose to veer from that particular ending because they didn't want to send a message that way because the soldiers just came home. I hope they do it justice! Rambo 08' ended perfectly!
@@CerealAtMidnight It seems strange to me that so many 80's cartoons still have not had blu ray releases. I would have thought the Transformers would have been released for sure by now.
I also grew up in a conservative religious home and many things were off limits also. He-Man was allowed despite it's sorcery themes because my mom liked that they had the moral at the end and that there was always something to learn. It's still my favourite of all the ones you showed. Love your channel!
This was the time when you wanted to be a hero as these cartoons showed you what good vs evil was. Saturday’s was something you looked forward to as a kid to wake up and have your morning fun. Today, something I think kids would benefit from and need.
Great video. Growing up in the 80s, we were allowed to watch all the cartoons, movies & listen to all the music. Not bragging, I had friends who weren't allowed those freedoms in their homes. Some weren't even allowed to watch Mtv or any cable channels, in some instances. So, I definitely feel for anyone who wasn't allowed to partake in those types of entertainment. With that said, my real point is that i appreciate your not bad mouthing or insulting people from back then who chose to raise their children that way. They were just doing what they felt/thought was right in those times. I see/hear a lot of people nowadays bad mouthing that sort of parenting, etc. Sure, it might seem strange in retrospect, but there are parenting methods today i would consider far worse. So, I appreciate you not taking that road, and instead making light of it. It was certainly a different time! Lol. Anyway, 👍👍
I got lucky with Voltron. I was looking for the entire series for awhile. Everyone volume was going for $50 - $60 except volume 6, I believe. That one was going for around $600 by itself. I managed to find someone on ebay selling all 8 volumes with the first 5 in the collector's tins, brand new, never opened for $300 total. I bought that thing so fast and I'm so glad I did. And yeah, that TMNT van would be much more awesome if the lid actually stayed on and the discs were stored better, but I still love having it anyway.
Also, Silver Hawks was an awesome 80's cartoon as well. I'm currently trying to pick up all these old 80's and 90's cartoons for my kids. They will know good cartoons. So far I've picked up G.I. Joe, almost all of the Looney Toons, Thunder Cats, Rocko's Modern Life, Ren & Stempy, Jim Hinson's The Story Teller including the Greek Tales. I'm fixing to pick up He Man, Transformers, and Silver Hawks. God we had great tv. These poor kids now got robbed.
I'm gonna add some of these to my collection as well...👌🏼💯✔ Some of these cartoon shows I need to see, and some I did see...👍🏼 I was born in October of 1986, so sometimes I had reruns of these shows and sometimes I didn't...💁♂️
Voltron and Robotech are the introduction to anime in the 1980s because in Japan Voltron is also known as Beast King Golion and in Japan Robotech macross saga is also known as Super Dimension Fortress Macross as an anime fan
Hey Heath, I do enjoy the 80s cartoons but I am very curious about cartoons from the 1930-50's especially studios like Fleischer, Early Disney, Walter Lantz, and characters like Bosko, Oswald the rabbit, Felix the cat ect...I also have heard of a company called Thunderbean who finds and restores these early cartoons. Do you have any of this stuff? -Shawn
I don’t have anything from Thunderbean, but I do have some old cartoons on DVD, including a Mill Creek collection of 200 classic shorts from those years. I have and love the Fleischer Superman shorts, too. Warner Archive just announcedthat they’ll be bringing the early Popeye cartoons to Blu-ray soon, and I’m very interested in those.
I know it's not a cartoon but back in the 80's I loved Airwolf. Imagine a 5 year old kid in his tighty whites standing in front of the tv losing his mind with excitement when the theme song started and everything started getting blown up........... I was that 5 year old kid. Lol
Awesome video! I couldn't watch a lot of stuff as a child either. I would love to see a collection spotlight of your superhero//comic book animated series collection
I will definitely be doing a superhero cartoon collection spotlight down the road. It will be BIG. Can't put a date on it, but I definitely have plans for that.
In the years since this video, not only have I added Thundarr the Barbarian on Blu, I've interviewed Mark Evanier, who helped create the show and named Thundarr! th-cam.com/video/S1k1SXCWXYI/w-d-xo.html
Hi Heath. Love the content on your channel. I'm a huge 80s cartoon freak. I have everything you have. There some are other great 80s cartoon series that deserve honorable mentions like The Bionic Six, The Spiral Zone, Tranzor Z, The Filmation Tarzan/Lone Ranger/Zorro adventure hour, The Centurians, Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, and the Ruby Spears Superman animated series. It's unfortunate some of these don't have an official DVD release. I highly suggest you go ahead and purchase the Thundarr the Barbarian set. I know you'll enjoy it. 80s child for life plus new subscriber!
Awesome! Thanks for commenting and subscribing, Carlito! Those are all great cartoons you mentioned, and it's a shame some of them haven't been released yet, and maybe never will. I'm probably going to end up getting that Thundarr set, I was just hoping they would re-release it as a pressed DVD. It's not looking like that will happen, though, so I might as well.
In the 80’s there was also silver hawk, Galaxy Ranger, my little pony, adventure of Gummi Bears, the new adventures of Winnie the Pooh, chip n Dale rescue rangers, Muppet Baby’s, Duck tales, the smurfs, inspector gadget, the Care Bears, Dino riders, Denver the last dinosaur, the adventure of Zelda, there are more but they are the ones I can think of except the ones you have.
Holy shit dude, sounds like you grew up the same way I did. I wasn't allowed to watch most cartoons, and when I grew up, I got into them harder than I ever would have as a kid.
I remember we made a family event of burning all my and my sister's Pokemon merch (posters, toys, cards, and game) in a bonfire, to make sure Satan had no foothold in our house.
Keep collecting those DVDs and BRs. I can see DVDs going away in a few years. And BR shortly after. Once that happens all that stuff you have will be instant gold to collectors. Same as vinyl records.
Brought back some fond memories of watching telly in the 80s. Did you ever watch Battle of the Planets? Great fun show. I thought you were going to say "stay safe" at the end! ;)
I have vague memories of watching a few episodes of Battle of the Planets in the late 90s, but I have recently gone back and starting watching Gatchaman on Blu-ray, which was the 1972 show that they used to make Battle of the Planets. It's so fantastic.
Great video again buddy, GI joe was called Action force in the UK. I used to watch all these and have most of them on dvd, cant believe you have Jayce and the wheeled warriors and you don’t have Ulysses!!!
We never really got Ulysses in the US. I looked it up on Wikipedia and it looks like it was syndicated in the US for a single year and then it was gone. If a local TV station didn't pick it up (I don't think any of mine did), there was no chance of anyone ever seeing it here. The UK has had it on SEVEN channels over the years. Until a couple of months ago, I hadn't even HEARD of Ulysses 31. But now that I have, I really want to get my hands on an import DVD of the show because it looks awesome and the opening thing is incredible.
Great video, plenty of action adventure cartoons. I was surprised that you didn't talk about the Disney cartoons of the era, Ducktales, Wuzzles, and the Gummi Bears.
AGH! Ginny, I should have included Ducktales because I have all the released volumes. I actually don't have Wuzzles or Gummi Bears in my collection, but I want to add them. I'll have to do a Disney spotlight in the future.
I'm so glad Mill Creek Entertainment and Shout Factory have been keeping some of these shows in print. My only beef with them is that I use Plex and add all the movies and tv shows I own as mkv files, but the metadata on either company's DVDs make it very time consuming to split into separate episodes. Does anybody else use Plex and run into the same problem?
Great video, as a child of the 50’s and 60’s (yes, I’m older than dirt), it was all about the cartoons. My favorite was on Friday night, in prime time no less, Jonny Quest. It only ran for one season but what a great show. The 80’s was Filmation, but Hanna-Barberra owned the 60’s. Take care.
Hanna-Barbera absolutely owned the sixties (and the seventies) and Jonny Quest is fantastic! Have you heard the news that Warner Brothers will be restoring the original Jonny Quest series for Blu-ray next year?
Heath, do you think Blu-ray will be in print seven years from now? I don't want to accept a digital only world. digital is good but it belongs on an optical disc!
I absolutely think both DVD and Blu-ray will be around in seven years, and probably many years thereafter. Kids may prefer to watch movies on their phones, but there is an audience for discs, and I think there always will be. With just a few exceptions, every serious movie fan and collector that I know buys discs. There are SO MANY boutique labels that are putting out fantastic releases and making a decent profit doing so: Mill Creek, Kino Lorber, Arrow, Indicator, Severin, Twilight Time, Shout Factory/Scream Factory, Olive Films, Blue Underground, Anchor Bay, and more. The model has changed from the way it was in the past, and instead of the studios releasing their own movies, they just sub-license them out to smaller distributors. It's undeniably a smaller market than it was five or ten years ago, but as long as there is money to be made from physical releases, we'll have Blu-rays. I'm actually incredibly optimistic about the future. The releases coming out now are the best ever, and so many movies are getting really lavish special editions and look absolutely stunning. Each week, something comes out that makes me excited. Streaming will grow, but I think streaming and disc sales serve two different markets. Wow, I might need to do a video about this. I seem to have a lot to say!
colehamelsfan1 Me too. I've been a fan ever since Jem was broadcast over here in England on cable television, when I was about 3, or 4 years old. Daryl. 😊😃👍🏻👋🏻
Hi Heath great video. I am in Australia and did you know that Challenge of The Gobots was called Challenge Of The Machine Men in Australia. I wonder why they changed the name?
I put tape over the insides of my BCI Eclipse discs. The company was nice and sent me replacement discs when I got them. Sad they went out of business.
That's a good idea. Also good to hear that BCI Eclipse was aware of the issue and sent you replacement discs. They were a great label and put out some really fantastic releases.
Awesome video. Sorry you missed so many great cartoons growing up. For me it started at 5:30 am before school and 3:30 pm right after school. 80's cartoons were the best. Here's one for you Turbo TEEN came on USA, check it out. You can find episodes here on TH-cam. Damn I forgot Teen Wolf had a cartoon.
I didn't remember that it happened when he got hot! So he's a teenager who turns into a red sportscar when he gets hot?! If that's not a metaphor, I don't know what is.
Cereal At Midnight lol. He was traveling one night and a storm forced him off the road where he crashed into a laboratory conducting top secret government experiments. He landed in the path of a molecular transfer ray where he and his car became one.... Lol! I probably liked the intro more than the show itself, but as a kid it was super cool to see.
Aww man ..how could you forget ?... Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos from 1986 , with Chuck himself lending his voice to the 80's action Cartoon !!! out on WARNER V O D DVD !!
Well, I didn't forget it because I don't have it. This was a collection spotlight of 80s cartoons that I own on DVD because I'd gotten many requests from people asking me to show my 80s toons collection. Karate Kommandos isn't in my collection....YET!
Great video! Really enjoyed it! Alvin and the Chipmunks was great as well as Spider-Man and his amazing friends. Did you watch Smurfs as kid? Wait....... drink lol jk
Great video. New sub. I remember the turmoil in the toy box book. In fact, the author spoke at our church. Luckily my parents thought he was as much of an idiot as I did.
That was a wonderful walk down memory lane, thankfully I didn't have the restrictive parents (I still recall watching The Shining with my Mum before school when I was like 6/7 years old!) and got to see a bunch of these growing up (FYI: G.I. Joe in the UK was Action Force)... Again love your passion and your impressions ( ;-) ) Keep up the good work my man! ps. Oh and this is just my sense of humour but every time you said art card I kept hearing in my head Art Carney, what can I say I'm a strange fruit! :)
It's so wierd that a show like Thundercats got parents nervous every thing I learned about being a good and honest I learned from Thundercats and He-man. They taught me evil was something to be fought and innocents was to be protected
I would love to see your entire animated show collection, All era. Animated shows are all I collect, that might change in the future but not now. P.s. I just bought invader zim the complete series and super six. Totally random combination but can’t wait for them to arrive.
Awesome, Kelly! I'll definitely be highlighting more of my animation collection in the coming weeks and months. The next one will be a superhero cartoon spotlight. Then maybe we can do 90s cartoons or something. Thanks for the suggestion!
Have you ever checked out any 1960's Hanna Barbera cartoons such as Atom Ant, Secret Squirrel, Peter Potamus, The Herculoids, Frankenstein Jr. etc? These are all great cartoons.
Sadly, some of them appear to have been lost with time. Jana of the Jungle was a personal favorite and bootleg VHS transfers seem to be the only way to watch it. I would gladly buy a licensed Made on Demand (MOD), if it would help bring it back.
Wow! Great collection of 80's shows. Watched most of those back in the day and now have a good few on DVD. Except Teen Wolf Animated Series. Didn't even know that existed! G.I. Joe here in the United Kingdom was called Action Force for the cartoon and 3.75 inch figures. the Big 12 inch G.I. Joe was called Action Man. So you kinda got it right. ;) Other shows I watched and have on disc are the complete Ulysses 31, The Mysterious Cities of Gold, Dungeons & Dragons. And I would love to get Battle of the Planets, Danger Mouse, Count Duckula, Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, Droids and Ewoks. The list could go on. Anyway great content. Will be watching more Subbed!
Thanks for the sub, CyberDrone! I loved Danger Mouse when I was a kid, and Cout Duckula too! I need to grab those on disc. Also, I've been watching Gatchaman, which was the original series that they used to made Battle of the Planets, and it is just amazing!
Gatchaman is on my list to find and watch. Don't think it was released on disc here in the UK. Battle of the Planets was. but now long deleted I believe. Should have picked it up when it was released. I have seen some of the other US dubs for it, like G-Force and Eagle Riders.
@@CerealAtMidnight Yea without a doubt!!! I agree. No Battlecat, Orko , Panthor, Prince Adam, Beastman was the only villain of Skeletor from the cartoon but still too see it on the big screen was def awesome and an easy guilty pleasure!!! Im surprised Thundercats was never done!!!
Oh, don't worry, I knew what you meant lol! ;) You NEED to watch Aah! real Monsters, it's great! Speaking of real people with cartoons, Bobby's World and Wish Kid, boy THOSE take me back! Eek the Cat, just Fox Kids, full stop lol...oh, the 90s...
Hey Heath! (I apologize if I misspelled it). I know I'm really late getting to the video but did you ever end up getting the more recent releases of the He-Man and She-Ra shows on DVD? They each include the entire shows and I believe the movies as well. Great channel! Thank you for the solid content!
Hey! Yes, you spelled it correctly, and you better believe I bought the new complete series repackaged versions! Those re-releases didn't exist at the time of the video you're commenting on, but I made a dedicated video just to the re-release of He-Man, She-Ra, and Voltron. Here's a link: th-cam.com/video/i1GFLaOVxvQ/w-d-xo.html
Are you going to get the takara transformers dvds like headmasters? They are from the 80s. Also no defenders of the earth? Smurfs? gobots? or superpowers team? Future pick ups? Jem was no only by the same people as gijoe and transformers it was in the same universe as them!
Yes, I want to get the Takara Transformers DVDs. I'm not buying Smurfs until they release more than the first season. Also I'd love to grab Gobots at some point. Superpowers Team is out of print and I didn't get it when it was available. I have Challenge of the Super Friends vol. 1 and 2. Future pickups will include SIlverhawks, Defenders of Earth. I want a Thundarr the Barbarian set that isn't a DVD-R, too.
Funny thing is smurfs is complete overseas if you want to import them. The uk dvds of the smurfs specials like smurfic games is all region and will play on region 1 players by the way.
I'm glad I could snag a thinner Thundercats, He-Man, and She-ra collections. I want Biker Mice From Mars complete series on DVD. I'd also like She-Ra and the Princesses of Powers last two seasons (from Netflix) on DVD to complete that set. My favorite Ninja Turtles is the 2003 show pre-Nickelodeon. I like that one more than the original show.
Seriously people who don’t understand or remember those classic cartoons I feel sorry for you.. I remember The Smurfs, Heman Masters of the Universe, G.I. Joe A real American Hero, The Snorks, Thundercats, Kidd Video, The Flintstones, Garfield, Pac-Man , PolePostion, FraggleRock, and plus those other cartoon series! These I hope will be remembered and then remastered for future reference to blu-Ray!
I have the Mill Creek full season 1 & 2 of He-man and the Masters of the Universe. I also have GI Joe The Complete First Series & Transformers - The Complete Series Collection
The first thing I'm going to say is I have been a big fan of the Transformers I received the Transformers 25th anniversary box set for Christmas back 10 years ago I also have the Transformers in the single box sets that you have just shown and as well I also have the Transformers the Movie on DVD as well not to mention the ThunderCats seasons 1 & 2 I have yet to get seasons 3 and 4 to complete my collection I also have He-Man Masters of the Universe in my collection on DVD it's the best of the DVD set and also g.i. Joe in the red box set series as well not to mention the complete first season in its entirety but after the other two I saw it I could have liked it but not that much I prefer the original but I grew up on those as well watch them after school and watch them on Saturday morning as well great times wonderful memories.
Full confession, i don't hate the Jem movie. It has nothing to do with the cartoon, but i still like it. Even my friend who loves the cartoon and always quote it to me likes the movie
I like it too. Sadly it had like zero support from Hasbro and tanked at the theaters, so the Jem property is likely dead for the foreseeable future. I do encourage Cereal At Midnight to give it a try with an open mind. It has a lot of heart and some great pop music.
Two things. One: They made an "adults only" movie version of The Banana Splits! Why? Two: I was going to tell you about the awesome "Astro Boy" releases but then I remembered that the show flopped in America in it's remade from (1982 and 2004). Trust me, I can tell you which DVD's are the best to get. The answer may surprise you.
I don't know if somebody already posted this. But your mom is "probably" not crazy. The nude scene with the baroness, was most likely from the 1981 movie Heavy Metal. The very R-rated cartoon, the animation could easily be mistaken for GI Joe. Especially if you're not really paying attention. My mom made a similar mistake, turning heavy metal on, thinking it was a regular kids cartoon, then leaving me in the room to watch it. I learned a lot that day.
It wasn’t heavy metal, it was G.I. Joe one afternoon after school. I had been watching it every day and she happened to look up from the other room and thought she saw naked Baroness. We never had any cable channels that would have showed heavy metal and I wouldn’t have been interested. I was a big joe fan (still am)!
Just to be clear, I do dig Heavy Metal. I have it on Blu-ray. But there was no way that would have been on in our house at 4 in the afternoon on a school day on broadcast television.
@@CerealAtMidnight I dig, my theory was that your mom happened see a scene from Heavy Metal at a different time. Maybe on prime-time premium cable. I've even heard unsubstantiated rumors that certain Christian parent groups, used to show scenes from heavy metal to Moms. Scaring them into thinking this was being marketed to their children. Then later when your mom saw you watching GI Joe, she assumed it was the same program. You're probably right, your mom's just crazy. It couldn't have been easy for our parents, we were the first generation where the TV had to help raise us. I made my dad take me to see He-Man and She-Ra movie. And I think it affected him worse than Vietnam.
It’s true, they were all doing their best. It bugs me, but I understand why it happened. When you really are trying to protect the people you love, it can go too far. Now, when you’re making money off of that sort of thing, that’s when it gets suspicious. And I can’t speak for Heavy Metal being shown to Christian groups, but showing clips of music or movies out of context was absolutely a thing that happened in churches to bolster outrage.
@@CerealAtMidnight Small question: Do you think that Star Wars Blu-rays are overpriced? 6 epizodě here cost 80 dollars and i think thats quiet a lot. Each Clone Wars season cost 35 dollars. I don't know if I want to pay that much for it. Might as well just buy DVD.
I watched Transformers, Voltron, Ducktales, Heathcliff, Inspector Gadget, Muppet Babies, Super Friends, Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, Pound Puppies, Danger Mouse, Flintstone Kids, Kissyfur, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Dinosaucers, Denver the Last Dinosaur, Fraggle Rock (the animated series), ALF, Captain N: The Gamemaster, plus all the classics like Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbera.
Great video Heath! Here's some more: Visionaries, Mask, The Littles, Gobots, Dungeons & Dragons, The Smurfs, Hanna-Barbera in the 80s, DuckTales, Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers, Gummie Bears, Talespin, Dark Wing Duck, Heathcliff, The Snorks, The Get Along Gang, etc
I wasn’t allowed to watch Beavis and Butt-Head when I was a kid. So earlier this year I went out & bought the complete collection box set.
Blackstar, Thundarr The Barbarian, and Danger Mouse. I want to include The Herculoids, but they were from the 60s and were only reruns in the 80s.
Love the channel!
You're saying you have those? If you have Blackstarr, hold on to them, as that show is long out of print and valuable.
Thank you my good friend. Because of your wonderful video I was able to recall all the amazing shows that I watched as a kid back in the 90s and early 00s.
I'm obsessed with this channel! I live Street Sharks, Toxic Crusaders, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! 80s toons are the best! I could go on and on, lol!
I agree with your point about re-connecting with your childhood. I am a nostalgic person by nature. It is a part of who I am.

I think it makes total sense for anyone of any age to watch something that makes them happy. I have the first Sesame Street old school set and I love it. I need to get the other volumes.
My philosophy is love what you love and don't ever compromise. When we retain our child-like innocence, we look at the world in a brighter, more optimistic way. being connected to our inner child fuels our imaginations, our creativity, and reinforces our moral compass.
Thanks for the great comment, David.
Cereal At Midnight I wholeheartedly agree. I look forward to watching more content from you! I just subscribed today. :)
Dave Care Bears was still on when I was in high school first thing in the morning so everyone watched it before school getting. Strangely enough nobody was teased about watching it as we all did. You were teased if you "dissed it".
David, thanks for the sub and welcome to the channel! I really am glad you're here!
My new fav channel.Kid of the 80's here.
My favorite cartoon boxed set is Dungeons and Dragons.
I meant to talk about that in this video but I missed it. I have the Mill Creek version of the complete series, and i love it. That cartoon had some great writing. Plus, it had Peter Cullen in it! Great pick!
That's what I came to the comments to ask about. Saturday morning staple! 😀
Great collection and content. I was able to indulge in all of the cartoons and children programs of the mid 1970 all through the 1980s to the 1990s and more. When I was a kid before cable tv, Saturday morning was the best day of the week. Amazing time, great cartoons plus all the themed toys. I even remember a rubik's cube cartoon. Peace.
Fellow 80s child here (born in '76), & your asides about growing up in a highly conservative, religious family are fascinating. I appreciate your willingness to share those stories; it's important first-hand history of growing up in that era!
It's equally fascinating to me, personally, because I grew up in a conservative, patriotic, Reagan-loving family...but without the religion. "If you want to be religious," my dad told my sister and I, "go ahead. Just don't push your views onto others, and don't let them push theirs onto you." We never once went to church or owned a Bible, and not once in junior high was I ever told I couldn't watch USA Up All Night or play Double Dragon.
A neighbor around the same age was from a Jehovah Witness family, and 8-year-old Me couldn't wrap my head around how a kid wasn't allowed to celebrate birthdays, holidays, pop culture and heroes. All the neighbor kids played together & rode bikes together, but when it came time to celebrate something, he had to go home. He didn't even need to be called home by his parents; he KNEW that when the He-Man figures and Atari games came out, he couldn't stay.
My point, I think, is that it's interesting just how much our lives can have in common (love of pop culture, 80s cartoons & toys, conservative upbringing), yet still lived through such different childhoods.
Thanks again for sharing. I think this is the second time I've watched this video. Cool to note how He-Man/She-ra/Voltron have all had re-releases since you recorded this. You're right - it's hard to believe these particular cartoons were out of print as long as they were.
Very interesting stuff, and thanks for sharing something so personal. And yes, isn’t it cool that so many of these shows mentioned have been re-released? We’ve covered most of them and are trying to keep the spirit alive!
Favorite video so far! Late to the party but accepting your invitation to the party. I actually just got into DVD collecting seriously and have some stuff on order. I made a video about it, mentioned you and James Rolfe. Have not uploaded it anywhere yet because I want to make sure I know what I want to do with it first. But just wanted to say thanks for the videos and creating a community for this hobby. I think film collecting is sorely in need of better communities. Gaming has a lot, film collecting feels pretty limited.
Thanks for the kind words, and best of luck with your channel!
I've got the 30th anniversary box set of he-man that has the complete original series, complete 2000s series and a handful of episodes from new adventures
I watched so many of those cartoons growing up, in the Netherlands. Love em! I haven't got many on dvd though, only the Transformers series / collection. Might take a look at which are on dvd / available now. I remember loving so many of those cartoons like Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, GI Joe, Thundercats, Inspector Gadget and many many more... good times, good memories!
This channel is great. I enjoy your videos :) keep up the awesomeness.
Thank you!
Count Duckula is top tier cartoons
Only the theme song
Nice video. It's not only good because I can cheer everytime I'm seeing the title I love but also because there are some cartoons I wasn't awere of and I need to check them so it's a win win situation. That's what I like about your videos - if I know topic I can compare our views, if not I would learn something new. And it's crazy how many cartoons you couldn't watch. I only drank tea but man it went quickly :D Also that TMNT van set looks so neat, maybe not practical but still.
LOL to you drinking tea when I said I couldn't watch something. Thanks for the kind comment, PC! Th TMNT set is really great and I am glad to have it, especially since now I can just admire it and not have to worry about it tipping over or rolling off a shelf or a table.
As an 80's kid, I of course love all of those, but major props for Robotech. 😎 Thanks for making this vid. 👍
Just came across this channel and I love it keep up the great work
You're right. Jim IS outrageous!
Jim is her name! No one else is the same! 🤣🤣🤣
Question...Gerry Anderson supermarionation....do you collect? I used to have Joe 90 and absolutely love Anderson's work.
I don't, but not for lack of interest. It's something I think I'd enjoy.
I feel ya Bro. I missed so much television/film.. 😆 we never had that book, but yeah..
The Federation is gone. Cereal at Midnight's beard is everywhere !!!
I have an old recorded tape with several episodes of Rambo on it. I would like to get those. I really need Chuck Norris's Karate Komandos in order to complete my Norris filmography!!
I just picked up the last two volumes a couple of days ago. The new movie (Last Blood) reminded me that I needed to finish the run, and I don’t know how much longer they’ll be in print. They seem to be getting harder to find. I need to get Karate Kommandos too!
By the way what were your thoughts on Last Blood? I don't want him to be killed.
I don’t want him to be killed either. He’s America’s hero! I can’t remember though, doesn’t the character die in the original Morrell novel? I think he does.
I'm not sure. I do know this, if he was to die it should have just been in First Blood. They filmed it. They chose to veer from that particular ending because they didn't want to send a message that way because the soldiers just came home. I hope they do it justice! Rambo 08' ended perfectly!
Agree 100 percent agree.
Have you made a Blu ray 80's toons collection video? I didn't see any blu rays in this video . . . I don't think I did . .
This is my complete 1980s toons collection, both DVD and Blu-ray, complete as of when it was made a few years ago.
@@CerealAtMidnight It seems strange to me that so many 80's cartoons still have not had blu ray releases. I would have thought the Transformers would have been released for sure by now.
There are no HD masters for virtually any of it. In fact, Hallmark alone destroyed the original elements for multiple shows a few decades ago.
I also grew up in a conservative religious home and many things were off limits also. He-Man was allowed despite it's sorcery themes because my mom liked that they had the moral at the end and that there was always something to learn. It's still my favourite of all the ones you showed. Love your channel!
I just got the Fraggle Rock animated series, 80s cartoons is my longest running collection of physical media.
This was the time when you wanted to be a hero as these cartoons showed you what good vs evil was. Saturday’s was something you looked forward to as a kid to wake up and have your morning fun. Today, something I think kids would benefit from and need.
Great video. Growing up in the 80s, we were allowed to watch all the cartoons, movies & listen to all the music. Not bragging, I had friends who weren't allowed those freedoms in their homes. Some weren't even allowed to watch Mtv or any cable channels, in some instances. So, I definitely feel for anyone who wasn't allowed to partake in those types of entertainment. With that said, my real point is that i appreciate your not bad mouthing or insulting people from back then who chose to raise their children that way. They were just doing what they felt/thought was right in those times. I see/hear a lot of people nowadays bad mouthing that sort of parenting, etc. Sure, it might seem strange in retrospect, but there are parenting methods today i would consider far worse. So, I appreciate you not taking that road, and instead making light of it. It was certainly a different time! Lol.
Anyway, 👍👍
I got lucky with Voltron. I was looking for the entire series for awhile. Everyone volume was going for $50 - $60 except volume 6, I believe. That one was going for around $600 by itself. I managed to find someone on ebay selling all 8 volumes with the first 5 in the collector's tins, brand new, never opened for $300 total. I bought that thing so fast and I'm so glad I did. And yeah, that TMNT van would be much more awesome if the lid actually stayed on and the discs were stored better, but I still love having it anyway.
I have some this cartoon TV show too on DVDs I was kid of 80s still love them
Your 80s collection rocks!!!
Also, Silver Hawks was an awesome 80's cartoon as well. I'm currently trying to pick up all these old 80's and 90's cartoons for my kids. They will know good cartoons. So far I've picked up G.I. Joe, almost all of the Looney Toons, Thunder Cats, Rocko's Modern Life, Ren & Stempy, Jim Hinson's The Story Teller including the Greek Tales. I'm fixing to pick up He Man, Transformers, and Silver Hawks. God we had great tv. These poor kids now got robbed.
I'm gonna add some of these to my collection as well...👌🏼💯✔ Some of these cartoon shows I need to see, and some I did see...👍🏼 I was born in October of 1986, so sometimes I had reruns of these shows and sometimes I didn't...💁♂️
Voltron and Robotech are the introduction to anime in the 1980s because in Japan Voltron is also known as Beast King Golion and in Japan Robotech macross saga is also known as Super Dimension Fortress Macross as an anime fan
I have the first volume of Beast King Golion, but I waited too long to get the second two volumes and one of them went out of print.
Hey Heath, I do enjoy the 80s cartoons but I am very curious about cartoons from the 1930-50's especially studios like Fleischer, Early Disney, Walter Lantz, and characters like Bosko, Oswald the rabbit, Felix the cat ect...I also have heard of a company called Thunderbean who finds and restores these early cartoons. Do you have any of this stuff? -Shawn
I don’t have anything from Thunderbean, but I do have some old cartoons on DVD, including a Mill Creek collection of 200 classic shorts from those years. I have and love the Fleischer Superman shorts, too. Warner Archive just announcedthat they’ll be bringing the early Popeye cartoons to Blu-ray soon, and I’m very interested in those.
I know it's not a cartoon but back in the 80's I loved Airwolf. Imagine a 5 year old kid in his tighty whites standing in front of the tv losing his mind with excitement when the theme song started and everything started getting blown up........... I was that 5 year old kid. Lol
Airwolf is great. It's on Blu-ray from Mill Creek and looks great in HD. RIP, Jan Michael Vincent.
Wasn't Robotech on Toonami ? 🤔
Awesome video! I couldn't watch a lot of stuff as a child either. I would love to see a collection spotlight of your superhero//comic book animated series collection
I will definitely be doing a superhero cartoon collection spotlight down the road. It will be BIG. Can't put a date on it, but I definitely have plans for that.
Cereal At Midnight great! Can't wait
No Thundarr the barbarian? Oh my. Haha. Great video! 😊
In the years since this video, not only have I added Thundarr the Barbarian on Blu, I've interviewed Mark Evanier, who helped create the show and named Thundarr! th-cam.com/video/S1k1SXCWXYI/w-d-xo.html
@CerealAtMidnight Sweet! 👍 Going to watch that video now. Thanks!
What do you do with the DVDs that have digital downloads?
I redeem them for my digital library. I’m not ant-digital. I just like having that hard copy too.
Hi Heath. Love the content on your channel. I'm a huge 80s cartoon freak. I have everything you have. There some are other great 80s cartoon series that deserve honorable mentions like The Bionic Six, The Spiral Zone, Tranzor Z, The Filmation Tarzan/Lone Ranger/Zorro adventure hour, The Centurians, Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, and the Ruby Spears Superman animated series. It's unfortunate some of these don't have an official DVD release. I highly suggest you go ahead and purchase the Thundarr the Barbarian set. I know you'll enjoy it. 80s child for life plus new subscriber!
Awesome! Thanks for commenting and subscribing, Carlito! Those are all great cartoons you mentioned, and it's a shame some of them haven't been released yet, and maybe never will. I'm probably going to end up getting that Thundarr set, I was just hoping they would re-release it as a pressed DVD. It's not looking like that will happen, though, so I might as well.
In the 80’s there was also silver hawk, Galaxy Ranger, my little pony, adventure of Gummi Bears, the new adventures of Winnie the Pooh, chip n Dale rescue rangers, Muppet Baby’s, Duck tales, the smurfs, inspector gadget, the Care Bears, Dino riders, Denver the last dinosaur, the adventure of Zelda, there are more but they are the ones I can think of except the ones you have.
Holy shit dude, sounds like you grew up the same way I did. I wasn't allowed to watch most cartoons, and when I grew up, I got into them harder than I ever would have as a kid.
I remember we made a family event of burning all my and my sister's Pokemon merch (posters, toys, cards, and game) in a bonfire, to make sure Satan had no foothold in our house.
Ugh. Sorry, Kyle. That's terrible!
Keep collecting those DVDs and BRs. I can see DVDs going away in a few years. And BR shortly after. Once that happens all that stuff you have will be instant gold to collectors. Same as vinyl records.
Did I miss something? Where are the blu rays?
Loved this one! Do you remember the series MASK? I loved that show so much. Not sure about its availability.
Heck yeah, I remember MASK. I need to grab it on DVD. It's a Shout Factory release.
Brought back some fond memories of watching telly in the 80s. Did you ever watch Battle of the Planets? Great fun show. I thought you were going to say "stay safe" at the end! ;)
I have vague memories of watching a few episodes of Battle of the Planets in the late 90s, but I have recently gone back and starting watching Gatchaman on Blu-ray, which was the 1972 show that they used to make Battle of the Planets. It's so fantastic.
Nice collection. Thumbs up.
Great video again buddy, GI joe was called Action force in the UK. I used to watch all these and have most of them on dvd, cant believe you have Jayce and the wheeled warriors and you don’t have Ulysses!!!
We never really got Ulysses in the US. I looked it up on Wikipedia and it looks like it was syndicated in the US for a single year and then it was gone. If a local TV station didn't pick it up (I don't think any of mine did), there was no chance of anyone ever seeing it here. The UK has had it on SEVEN channels over the years. Until a couple of months ago, I hadn't even HEARD of Ulysses 31. But now that I have, I really want to get my hands on an import DVD of the show because it looks awesome and the opening thing is incredible.
Do you have the Tales From The Darkside and the Twilight Zone box set?
Nope. I don’t have either.
They need to release a Muppet Babies complete series DVD.
Great video, plenty of action adventure cartoons.
I was surprised that you didn't talk about the Disney cartoons of the era, Ducktales, Wuzzles, and the Gummi Bears.
AGH! Ginny, I should have included Ducktales because I have all the released volumes. I actually don't have Wuzzles or Gummi Bears in my collection, but I want to add them. I'll have to do a Disney spotlight in the future.
I'm so glad Mill Creek Entertainment and Shout Factory have been keeping some of these shows in print. My only beef with them is that I use Plex and add all the movies and tv shows I own as mkv files, but the metadata on either company's DVDs make it very time consuming to split into separate episodes. Does anybody else use Plex and run into the same problem?
Great video, as a child of the 50’s and 60’s (yes, I’m older than dirt), it was all about the cartoons. My favorite was on Friday night, in prime time no less, Jonny Quest. It only ran for one season but what a great show. The 80’s was Filmation, but Hanna-Barberra owned the 60’s. Take care.
Hanna-Barbera absolutely owned the sixties (and the seventies) and Jonny Quest is fantastic! Have you heard the news that Warner Brothers will be restoring the original Jonny Quest series for Blu-ray next year?
Cereal At Midnight Just take my money!
Heath, do you think Blu-ray will be in print seven years from now? I don't want to accept a digital only world. digital is good but it belongs on an optical disc!
I absolutely think both DVD and Blu-ray will be around in seven years, and probably many years thereafter. Kids may prefer to watch movies on their phones, but there is an audience for discs, and I think there always will be. With just a few exceptions, every serious movie fan and collector that I know buys discs. There are SO MANY boutique labels that are putting out fantastic releases and making a decent profit doing so: Mill Creek, Kino Lorber, Arrow, Indicator, Severin, Twilight Time, Shout Factory/Scream Factory, Olive Films, Blue Underground, Anchor Bay, and more. The model has changed from the way it was in the past, and instead of the studios releasing their own movies, they just sub-license them out to smaller distributors. It's undeniably a smaller market than it was five or ten years ago, but as long as there is money to be made from physical releases, we'll have Blu-rays. I'm actually incredibly optimistic about the future. The releases coming out now are the best ever, and so many movies are getting really lavish special editions and look absolutely stunning. Each week, something comes out that makes me excited. Streaming will grow, but I think streaming and disc sales serve two different markets. Wow, I might need to do a video about this. I seem to have a lot to say!
i just bought that best of he man on ebay thank you for reminding me about this filmation great
You're welcome, man! I hope you enjoy that set. It's really great.
Dude I can admit I loved me some JEM.
colehamelsfan1 Me too. I've been a fan ever since Jem was broadcast over here in England on cable television, when I was about 3, or 4 years old. Daryl. 😊😃👍🏻👋🏻
Hi Heath great video. I am in Australia and did you know that Challenge of The Gobots was called Challenge Of The Machine Men in Australia. I wonder why they changed the name?
Weird, Peety! Yeah, I wonder why they changed the name. Is Gobots some really dirty Aussie slang or something? :)
GI Joe is Known as Action Force in the UK. The big 12" GI Joe figures in the US were known as Action Man in the UK.
I put tape over the insides of my BCI Eclipse discs. The company was nice and sent me replacement discs when I got them. Sad they went out of business.
That's a good idea. Also good to hear that BCI Eclipse was aware of the issue and sent you replacement discs. They were a great label and put out some really fantastic releases.
where did you get these?
I got them all in different places over the last 15 to 20 years or so. Is there one particular you were wondering about?
the heman set i have has all the diffrent versions and came in a castle grey skull shaped box
Is that the one with the bonus CD and the best of the New Adventures? I wanted to get that set just for the extra stuff, but I missed out.
@@CerealAtMidnight yes it has the bonus disc and everything
The early years of The Simpsons :)
Awesome video. Sorry you missed so many great cartoons growing up. For me it started at 5:30 am before school and 3:30 pm right after school. 80's cartoons were the best. Here's one for you Turbo TEEN came on USA, check it out. You can find episodes here on TH-cam. Damn I forgot Teen Wolf had a cartoon.
Turbo Teen is the show where the kid turns into a car and then people can ride in him, right? That was weeeeeeiiird. LOL.
Cereal At Midnight lol yeah exactly. He'd get hot and turn into a car and when he'd get cold and turn back into a regular guy. Classic 80's lol!
I didn't remember that it happened when he got hot! So he's a teenager who turns into a red sportscar when he gets hot?! If that's not a metaphor, I don't know what is.
Cereal At Midnight lol. He was traveling one night and a storm forced him off the road where he crashed into a laboratory conducting top secret government experiments. He landed in the path of a molecular transfer ray where he and his car became one.... Lol! I probably liked the intro more than the show itself, but as a kid it was super cool to see.
have you tried Spider-Man 1967 series?
I have seen it in the past, but I've never owned it. Aren't they all out of print right now?
Aww man ..how could you forget ?... Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos from 1986 , with Chuck himself lending his voice to the 80's action Cartoon !!! out on WARNER V O D DVD !!
Well, I didn't forget it because I don't have it. This was a collection spotlight of 80s cartoons that I own on DVD because I'd gotten many requests from people asking me to show my 80s toons collection. Karate Kommandos isn't in my collection....YET!
as ASH from Evil Dead II would say '' Groovy !!, thanks for responding back !, signed , the Phantom in Phoenix Az
Great video! Really enjoyed it! Alvin and the Chipmunks was great as well as Spider-Man and his amazing friends. Did you watch Smurfs as kid? Wait....... drink lol jk
Mighty Max needs to be on DVD too. That was a great cartoon.
Great video. New sub. I remember the turmoil in the toy box book. In fact, the author spoke at our church. Luckily my parents thought he was as much of an idiot as I did.
Kudos to your parents for being great and thinking for themselves!
That was a wonderful walk down memory lane, thankfully I didn't have the restrictive parents (I still recall watching The Shining with my Mum before school when I was like 6/7 years old!) and got to see a bunch of these growing up (FYI: G.I. Joe in the UK was Action Force)... Again love your passion and your impressions ( ;-) ) Keep up the good work my man! ps. Oh and this is just my sense of humour but every time you said art card I kept hearing in my head Art Carney, what can I say I'm a strange fruit! :)
From this day forward, art cards will be known as Art Carney!
I actually pull a stack of cartoons out and watch saturday morning cartoons with my kids
I like 80's cartoons great video thank you:) Do you have any 70's cartoons?
I do! I’ll be doing a seventies and a nineties video at some point.
It's so wierd that a show like Thundercats got parents nervous every thing I learned about being a good and honest I learned from Thundercats and He-man. They taught me evil was something to be fought and innocents was to be protected
I would love to see your entire animated show collection, All era. Animated shows are all I collect, that might change in the future but not now.
P.s. I just bought invader zim the complete series and super six. Totally random combination but can’t wait for them to arrive.
Awesome, Kelly! I'll definitely be highlighting more of my animation collection in the coming weeks and months. The next one will be a superhero cartoon spotlight. Then maybe we can do 90s cartoons or something. Thanks for the suggestion!
Cereal At Midnight awesome I can’t wait👍
Have you ever checked out any 1960's Hanna Barbera cartoons such as Atom Ant, Secret Squirrel, Peter Potamus, The Herculoids, Frankenstein Jr. etc? These are all great cartoons.
Yes, I grew up with a lot of those, but I don’t own any of them yet, unfortunately.
Sadly, some of them appear to have been lost with time. Jana of the Jungle was a personal favorite and bootleg VHS transfers seem to be the only way to watch it. I would gladly buy a licensed Made on Demand (MOD), if it would help bring it back.
Wow! Great collection of 80's shows. Watched most of those back in the day and now have a good few on DVD. Except Teen Wolf Animated Series. Didn't even know that existed! G.I. Joe here in the United Kingdom was called Action Force for the cartoon and 3.75 inch figures. the Big 12 inch G.I. Joe was called Action Man. So you kinda got it right. ;)
Other shows I watched and have on disc are the complete Ulysses 31, The Mysterious Cities of Gold, Dungeons & Dragons. And I would love to get Battle of the Planets, Danger Mouse, Count Duckula, Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, Droids and Ewoks. The list could go on.
Anyway great content. Will be watching more Subbed!
Thanks for the sub, CyberDrone! I loved Danger Mouse when I was a kid, and Cout Duckula too! I need to grab those on disc. Also, I've been watching Gatchaman, which was the original series that they used to made Battle of the Planets, and it is just amazing!
Gatchaman is on my list to find and watch. Don't think it was released on disc here in the UK. Battle of the Planets was. but now long deleted I believe. Should have picked it up when it was released. I have seen some of the other US dubs for it, like G-Force and Eagle Riders.
You got me immediately with Heman!!!! I know the movie is bad to the rest of the world but i loved it!!!
It’s a bad adaptation of the cartoon, but it’s a great Dolph Lundgren flick!
@@CerealAtMidnight Yea without a doubt!!! I agree. No Battlecat, Orko , Panthor, Prince Adam, Beastman was the only villain of Skeletor from the cartoon but still too see it on the big screen was def awesome and an easy guilty pleasure!!! Im surprised Thundercats was never done!!!
Galaxy Rangers.......my favorite!
Oh yeah! That's another one I need to add to my collection.
Oh, don't worry, I knew what you meant lol! ;) You NEED to watch Aah! real Monsters, it's great! Speaking of real people with cartoons, Bobby's World and Wish Kid, boy THOSE take me back! Eek the Cat, just Fox Kids, full stop lol...oh, the 90s...
Hey Heath! (I apologize if I misspelled it).
I know I'm really late getting to the video but did you ever end up getting the more recent releases of the He-Man and She-Ra shows on DVD? They each include the entire shows and I believe the movies as well. Great channel! Thank you for the solid content!
Hey! Yes, you spelled it correctly, and you better believe I bought the new complete series repackaged versions! Those re-releases didn't exist at the time of the video you're commenting on, but I made a dedicated video just to the re-release of He-Man, She-Ra, and Voltron. Here's a link: th-cam.com/video/i1GFLaOVxvQ/w-d-xo.html
How about Jayce And The Wheeled Warriors, Ulysses 31, and Battle Of The Planets. I think BOTP counts, as it ended in the 80's.
Are you going to get the takara transformers dvds like headmasters? They are from the 80s. Also no defenders of the earth? Smurfs? gobots? or superpowers team? Future pick ups? Jem was no only by the same people as gijoe and transformers it was in the same universe as them!
Yes, I want to get the Takara Transformers DVDs. I'm not buying Smurfs until they release more than the first season. Also I'd love to grab Gobots at some point. Superpowers Team is out of print and I didn't get it when it was available. I have Challenge of the Super Friends vol. 1 and 2. Future pickups will include SIlverhawks, Defenders of Earth. I want a Thundarr the Barbarian set that isn't a DVD-R, too.
Well crap. Apparently Galaxy Rangers vol. 1 is out of print. Crap crap crap crap.
Funny thing is smurfs is complete overseas if you want to import them. The uk dvds of the smurfs specials like smurfic games is all region and will play on region 1 players by the way.
Good to know! Thanks for the head's up! I am region free, if need be.
I'm glad I could snag a thinner Thundercats, He-Man, and She-ra collections. I want Biker Mice From Mars complete series on DVD. I'd also like She-Ra and the Princesses of Powers last two seasons (from Netflix) on DVD to complete that set. My favorite Ninja Turtles is the 2003 show pre-Nickelodeon. I like that one more than the original show.
G.I Joe is known as Action Force outside of America. Nice Walken imitation.
Seriously people who don’t understand or remember those classic cartoons I feel sorry for you.. I remember The Smurfs, Heman Masters of the Universe, G.I. Joe A real American Hero, The Snorks, Thundercats, Kidd Video, The Flintstones, Garfield, Pac-Man , PolePostion, FraggleRock, and plus those other cartoon series! These I hope will be remembered and then remastered for future reference to blu-Ray!
I have the Mill Creek full season 1 & 2 of He-man and the Masters of the Universe. I also have GI Joe The Complete First Series & Transformers - The Complete Series Collection
The first thing I'm going to say is I have been a big fan of the Transformers I received the Transformers 25th anniversary box set for Christmas back 10 years ago I also have the Transformers in the single box sets that you have just shown and as well I also have the Transformers the Movie on DVD as well not to mention the ThunderCats seasons 1 & 2 I have yet to get seasons 3 and 4 to complete my collection I also have He-Man Masters of the Universe in my collection on DVD it's the best of the DVD set and also g.i. Joe in the red box set series as well not to mention the complete first season in its entirety but after the other two I saw it I could have liked it but not that much I prefer the original but I grew up on those as well watch them after school and watch them on Saturday morning as well great times wonderful memories.
Full confession, i don't hate the Jem movie. It has nothing to do with the cartoon, but i still like it. Even my friend who loves the cartoon and always quote it to me likes the movie
I haven't seen it. If I find it for cheap enough, I'll grab it and check it out. I don't think it's on any of the streaming sites.
I like it too. Sadly it had like zero support from Hasbro and tanked at the theaters, so the Jem property is likely dead for the foreseeable future. I do encourage Cereal At Midnight to give it a try with an open mind. It has a lot of heart and some great pop music.
I have the entire series of The Legend Of Zelda tv Series on dvd, have to find more of those 80’s cartoons unfortunately on dvd 📀 😮
Remember so many of these
I wanna get jem and the holograms I love that cartoon
In my home, I got to see cartoons like He-Man and Thundercats.
Edit: Bravestarr came out in 1987.
Dude, where are the visionaries, the centurions etc to name but a few? Love the channel btw.
Don't have either show, but we're accepting donations! ;)
Two things. One: They made an "adults only" movie version of The Banana Splits! Why? Two: I was going to tell you about the awesome "Astro Boy" releases but then I remembered that the show flopped in America in it's remade from (1982 and 2004). Trust me, I can tell you which DVD's are the best to get. The answer may surprise you.
I don't know if somebody already posted this.
But your mom is "probably" not crazy.
The nude scene with the baroness, was most likely from the 1981 movie Heavy Metal.
The very R-rated cartoon, the animation could easily be mistaken for GI Joe. Especially if you're not really paying attention.
My mom made a similar mistake, turning heavy metal on, thinking it was a regular kids cartoon, then leaving me in the room to watch it.
I learned a lot that day.
It wasn’t heavy metal, it was G.I. Joe one afternoon after school. I had been watching it every day and she happened to look up from the other room and thought she saw naked Baroness. We never had any cable channels that would have showed heavy metal and I wouldn’t have been interested. I was a big joe fan (still am)!
Just to be clear, I do dig Heavy Metal. I have it on Blu-ray. But there was no way that would have been on in our house at 4 in the afternoon on a school day on broadcast television.
@@CerealAtMidnight I dig, my theory was that your mom happened see a scene from Heavy Metal at a different time. Maybe on prime-time premium cable. I've even heard unsubstantiated rumors that certain Christian parent groups, used to show scenes from heavy metal to Moms. Scaring them into thinking this was being marketed to their children.
Then later when your mom saw you watching GI Joe, she assumed it was the same program.
You're probably right, your mom's just crazy.
It couldn't have been easy for our parents, we were the first generation where the TV had to help raise us. I made my dad take me to see He-Man and She-Ra movie. And I think it affected him worse than Vietnam.
It’s true, they were all doing their best. It bugs me, but I understand why it happened. When you really are trying to protect the people you love, it can go too far. Now, when you’re making money off of that sort of thing, that’s when it gets suspicious. And I can’t speak for Heavy Metal being shown to Christian groups, but showing clips of music or movies out of context was absolutely a thing that happened in churches to bolster outrage.
I love your videos.
Cheers, Chill!
@@CerealAtMidnight Small question: Do you think that Star Wars Blu-rays are overpriced? 6 epizodě here cost 80 dollars and i think thats quiet a lot. Each Clone Wars season cost 35 dollars. I don't know if I want to pay that much for it. Might as well just buy DVD.
I loved The Visionaries and The Centurians.
Or waking up to those Saturday morning cartoons !
