1967 Fantastic Four Cartoon Intro
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มิ.ย. 2009
- In 1967, Hanna-Barbera produced a Fantastic Four cartoon that adapted many stories directly from the original Lee & Kirby run. Great show that deserves to be on DVD.
It would a real dream come true for me to hear this theme be arranged one day as an orchestral piece for an MCU Fantastic Four movie in the future if and when that ever happens. I think it would sound absolutely amazing on the big screen.
Well
Serious orchestral jazz.
That would be awesome
Well their introduction to the mcu will be the phase 4 finale
Yes indeed. A dream come true for me too. This cartoon is my childhood. FLAME ON!
i love the old jazz theme
Ted Nichols.
45 years and this intro is still badass and kicks ass!
You got that right! Every so often, I go back to some of the episodes and watch 2 or 3 of them. And the Music was SO COOL!
agree man. im 42 and i remember watching these episodes as a kid an not caring that it was made in the 60,s this and spider-man all of them 60,s amazing friends the 90,s cartoon (that was my jr high years )but yeah i always ha in my heart and the back of my head we was going to get live action movies of the marvel universe . im just happy we got to see our childhood heroes come to life.
Lol no
@@vestaflame2003 ratio bro
This cartoon series and I will turn 57 this year.
One of the BEST THEME SONGS OF ANY SUPER HERO CARTOON . I LOVE THE JAZZ ELEMENT !!!!
This theme intro/song needs to be in the new MCU version
This intro is so lit! Wish they'd d make a film that could be this good
I use to see these cartoon back in the 90's in cartoon network every weekend good times for me these were the best f4 cartoons ever period
Same.
Shown on Cartoon Network? I use time machine.
No chance nowadays. Remember WHO owns Cartoon Network...and Marvel Comics characters
So did I, my first exposure to the Fantastic Four was watching this show on Cartoon Network and it stays completely true to the old comic books of the 60s
So did I. Two weekends per month. I enjoyed those cartoons a lot. Today at the age of forty I like Marvel a lot.
Best version of the FF ever put on film so far. I knew the director of these episodes, BTW, Charles Nichols, a great guy.
Should have done a cartoon movie this way .
@@garysmith8073 I pitched a Fantastic Four movie to Disney animation back in 1989 using Jack Kirby style of art and nobody was interested. This was long before Disney bought Marvel.
This was the best animation adaptation of F4. I would love a DVD release of this.
This is the most comic accurate FF cartoon ever.
@@MrDominex They were fools for not trying it because in my opinion no one drew the Fantastic Four better than Jack Kirby.
Not even the movie could beat this cartoon....
mike m. What movie?
Oh yeah, THAT one that makes the Roger Corman 1990's Fantastic Four movie look like Citizen Kane?
Love this theme and the cartoon always!!👍
Remember the episode where Doom did his origin ....A Classic!.....Galactus ....the Surfer....Diablo.....
The music was so cool and so Jazzy All the guys to play Ben Grimm were too old or died . ERNEST BORGNINE BEN DAN BLOCKER . Even CHARLES DUTTON IS POSSIBLE.
👎
listen to that snare pop, with that bass. FANTASIC !
Not to mention that String Section.
The most awesome Fantastic four cartoon ever with the best intro music
Also the music through the show is slick, too.
This intro music has tinges of Bach!
ClassicTVMan1981X What parts?
jym kelly not only is this one of the best incarnations of the fantastic four (worlds greatest heroes is my favorite incarnation) but it’s also one of the best shows Hanna barbera has ever created (and this is the same studio that made then extremely dated and dull superfriends cartoon)
@@jamesborlan2850 but Superfriends were cool. I loved the art of that show and some episodes are still entertaining ❤️ Didn’t they do The Jetsons too? That was my show
Remembering Stan Lee (1922-2018), the comic book genius behind the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, the Hulk, Doctor Strange, Daredevil, Black Panther and the X-Men. Wonderful childhood memories.
Nostalgic. Reminds me of my beautiful 90's childhood days 😊😊❤️
Me too
This song is a low-key banger
MF DOOM. Hanna Barbera is so legendary.
Came here bc of it
That theme intro is unbelievable!!
What I want more than anything is for this cartoon to be available on DVD. That would be the ultimate collectors item !!!
Also Blu-ray.
Warner Bros can do it but sadly they really can't instead because of Disney owning every Marvel IPs like this (Also the DC and Marvel rivary) and WB are afraid is being sued as well.
The sounds of the cosmic rays and when reed is stretching are so cool. The music is very good.
"50 years and still rocks!"
What a truly memorable cartoon - Hanna/Barbera were so good when they started drifting away from the funny talking animal toons and into more action/adventure territory!
Brian Telford Since Johnny Quest (1964)...Hanna Barbera began to add that soundtrack as the kiddie cartoons started to have more spy type episodes if not spy/action cartoons such as Secret Squirrel, Atom Ant, The Impossibles and Frankenstein Jr. . And of course HB went into complete superhero mode in 1966-1968.
Facts ...I was a big fan of the Hurculoids and Johnny quest growing up
"IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME"!!
I used to collect comics when I was a kid in the 70's, then a local NY station, WPIX re-ran these cartoons in late '78 early in the mornings, & until then the only one I had seen was the classic 60's Spider Man cartoon, which was the best. Brings back great memories of my childhood----
The Fantastic Four... One of my favorite super teams. They paved the way for the Avengers, X Men, etc. "Nuff said!
It sucks that a proper release of this will probably never happen.
True...since Hanna Barbera is owned by Warner Bros ........and Disney Has Marvel
This theme needs to be used in the mcu the way they’re using the xmen cartoon theme.
This version of FF was a lot closer to the comic book series in style & stories; both Alex Toth & Doug Wildey did a remarkable job adapting Jack Kirby's style on this series. Hopefully the legal issues can be straightened out so the series be made available.
I remember watching this on Cartoon Network in the 90s. MAN I miss those days!
One of the best cartoon intros on tv history.
Yep
I loved this version! Use to show it on UHF during the 80’s and early 90’s on the original Cartoon Network
Viewing this took me back 40 years!
This cartoon was and still is my heart
Love it as a kid and still do
Me too
Pretty nice opening, love the music and the 60s sound effect
One of the best cartoons Hanna barbera has ever done
Very faithful to the comics at the time period and plenty of style put into it
Also Paul frees as the thing perfect casting
It’s a shame this show never had a dvd release I hope that one day Warner brothers or in this case Disney (since they own marvel) would put out a complete series set
Did you know the original ABC broadcast run of this series actually had a voice-over regarding the show's four heroes? Regis Cordic narrated, he said:
_The Fantastic Four! Starring Reed Richards... Sue Richards... Johnny Storm... Ben Grimm. Reed Richards, with his power to stretch! The Thing, with the strength of a thousand men! Johnny: Flame on, Torch! And Sue, the Invisible Girl! The Fantastic Four, united in their fight against interplanetary evil! The Fantastic Four... fantastic!_
I remember watching this on Channel 4 in around 1989, and it still had the voiceover then. The non-voiceover version is pretty recent, and sadly is the only version officially available now!
@@Tomsonic41
Same thing with The Gary Coleman Show (1982)... the original 1982-83 NBC run had Casey Kasem narrating the show's premise during the intro. Cartoon Network airs the show without that voiceover.
Casey Kasem said during the intro for that series...
"Meet Andy LeBeau: brand new apprentice guardian angel. It's his job to watch over a very special gang of kids. And that's Angelica. It's her job to watch over Andy and make sure he doesn't goof up. Of course, none of Andy's good friends doubt if they'll know that he's really an angel. They just think he's one of the gang. And this is Hornswoggle. He just loves getting Andy into trouble with all his dirty tricks. But don't worry: Andy can handle Hornswoggle. So, hang on to your halos! It's the Gary Coleman Show!"
They played this on Boomerang at night a lot back in 2005. Haven't seen it on since. Good cartoon. Wish they would show it again.
2005 I was still in middle school during that time before I graduated that year
I watched this show when it was "newly minted", on ABC-TV back in 1967!
It sounds like it is a big mess to air because Hanna-Barbera is now owned by Warner Bros and Marvel is now owned by Disney. It's probably a question of who owns the rights to the Fantastic Four produced by Hanna-Barbera?
"This is when they made cartoons! Thanks for the post!"
Funny how the Thing's spacesuit, insead of ripping apart, merely changes color and texture like the rest of his body.
And the others are already in their FF uniforms (and not spacesuits like Ben), lol! Still, I like how Ben's transformation is depicted.
music was awesome in this. show
Yep
Iconic theme song.
The BEST JAZZZ!!!!!!
love this cartoon intro
the best version of the FF whether it be on film or TV.
God I miss watching this as a kid.
Me too
1967 Fantastic Four Intro is still my favorite. I still watch the 1967 version on the Cartoon Network. I'm still a fan and thanks.
Robert B. Singleton
Yes mate iam still a fan to ,great years and good cartoons ,,,,from Micheal Sydney Australia
I love how the FF theme from the 2005 and 2007 movies starts with the iconic 4-note leitmotif from this series!
Nothing compares to the original Lee and Kirby Fantastic Four and IMHO nothing ever will.
John Byrne's run comes pretty close.
Miles Bockelman
Uh no it doesn't,
Sorry but I've just never been a fan of it or him.
cha5 Eh, to each their own.
Miles Bockelman
Probably my favorite run with Stan & Jack's characters would be Walt Simonson's run on Thor.
+cha5 Walt Simonson's run on FF was also amazing.
Watching the episode, Galactus, got me into the FF comics. Still love Marvel "s First Family!
Dude, this cartoon was produced in 1967! What do you expect!? CGI!? And still this intro pass the time test...IMHO.
I had to come back here after the announcement of the MCU film
This what you call 'classic'.
It is the first Marvel superheroes that ever got animated then. So it was a big deal in it's time to do with that milestone.
This is still my favorite cartoon adaptation of the Fantastic Four.
This needs to be on Disney+ pronto, I want to binge it.
Same.
This just in...Marvel superheroes existed long before the MCU.
2020 and still enjoying that bassline
old school cartoons was the bomb!!!
Still better than 2015 movie
Thanks for posting.
I hope Marvel Studios takes this theme when the F4 arrives to the MCU
Navarrete If it makes sense, it won't happen.
Actually, they could use the instrumental/action underscore Ted Nichols created for the battle sequences. It was a slower, slick, more epic rearangement of this theme. Sadly, they'll never do it
Keep wishing.
@@lashistoriasdejorge379 Some of the best music was the incidental music while they were just walking around waiting for trouble to show up, or underscoring expository dialogue. It also referenced the title credit music, although it punctuated it with fragments of the theme, rather than playing it outright. Anybody know the music I'm talking about?
My thoughts exactly
Even though I used to watch this in the 80's as a kid, to me it has been the best Fantastic 4 cartoon.
Same here but I watch this show in 1997 when I was a little kid
One of my fave cartoons growing up.
Saturday mornings were great for kids back then.
Still better than the shit that they made recently
love the invisible girl sound
Me, too.
0:26
Also reused in other Hanna-Barbera cartoons like Space Ghost (1966) and, most recently, revived for the talk show Coast to Coast (seriously, they recycled the exact same sound effect whenever Space Ghost makes himself invisible with his belt)
@@lashistoriasdejorge379 nice thanx for the tip!!👍🏽👍🏽
@@ramongil4281 👍🏽👍🏽
Maybe the greatest last eight seconds of theme music anywhere.
ANNOUNCER: "'THE FANTASTIC FOUR'! Starring REED RICHARDS.......SUE RICHARDS........JOHNNY STORM........BEN GRIMM!!! Reed Richards, with his power to STRETCH!!!! 'The Thing', with the strength of a thousand men!!! Johnny- FLAME ON, 'TORCH'! And Sue, 'The Invisible Girl'!!!! The Fantastic Four, united in their fight against interplanetary evil----FANTASTIC!****************** THE FANTASTIC FOUR.....FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I love this cartoon. It made me a fan of the Fan 4
Fantastic 4, sad that all there main enemies became main enemies of other Marvel characters like Avengers, Ironman, and Spiderman, while Fantastic 4 themselves have been totally forgotten about.
This has to be the BEST FF theme song and cartoon out of all the ones that came after it.
Ah....memories!!!!
I TOTALLY agree.
Paul Frees was the best voice of Ben Grimm ever!
It’s clobbering time. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Who’s watching the fantastic four in 2020.
I was 4 when this came on TV and I loved it! Then it was gone and never returned.
M F DOOM
They're Back!
I'm the ultimate FF fan, and as GREAT as the second season of the 1994-1996 series was, it only equaled this cartoon!
FANTASTIC!!!
70% Our heroes
29% Badass Music
1% Typical retro style
0% animation❤️
I saw these series in the 80's when I was a child when I lived in Mexico, it was in spanish ofcourse, to me this will be the best series, I guess because is the one I saw, I just can't find it on dvd, I only find the 90's version.
1967 Hanna-Barbera RULES Back in the day !
way better than the 1978 version ugh p u lol
I remember catching this show on Boomerang. Somehow it's loads better than the 1978 cartoon. They're both cheap, but this one has the benefit of being ten years older, having more consistent animation, and actually taking the Four seriously.
Not to mention that it actually *has* the Human Torch in it.
Great theme! Thanks!
I Really really really wish and hope they put THIS version of fantastic 4 out on DVD. Who wit me?
Whoever gave me a thumbs up. Thank u! ☺
I couldn't wait till Saturday morning cartoons back in the day!
Okay gang. Last time. HOYT CURTIN DID NOT WRITE THIS MUSIC. Hoyt was on a bit of a hiatus from Hanna-Barbera from 1965-1968 and his replacement during that time was Ted Nichols, who composed and conducted the music you hear here. Hoyt returned to H-B in 1968 to score "Wacky Races" and stayed another 20 or so years.
# Back in the Day ! Hanna and Barbera version of the Fantastic Four was always part of my childhood especially that they're cartoons rules Saturday morning ! TODAY no cartoons at all unless you get cable ?
It's clobberin' time!
THIS is the fantastic four animated intro I remember from that one moment when I wasn’t even 10
True! Just before that FF cartoon was developed, Universal Pictures had optioned the rights to Spiderman, Hulk, Doctor Strange, Submariner, and Human Torch for TV pilots. Submariner never launched because of "The Man From Atlantis." Human Torch was never filmed because the studio would have had to animate the flames! Too "hokey" for the time.
The rights to the Torch character were all tied up at the time, that's why we got that lame ass H.E.R.B.I.E. in the animated series!
I watched these cartoons because my big brother would watch them and draw them! He was so good at it
Right up there with Jonny quests theme those two and spiderman are 3 of the best themes for cartoons in my opinion
@keithcop I agree with you wholeheartedly! I have always loved this intro theme the best! I wonder if there is a HB cartoon theme CD available. I would definitely buy it because the themes were so "jazzy".
Bloody shame this adaptation will never see a DVD due to legal issues
SyzygyNerd 1988 dayum that sux
jimmy o Basically, Hanna Barbera is owned by Warner Bros and as you're probably well aware of, Disney owns the Marvel Universe. Both conglomerates have been rivals for years and would refuse to split the profits over any DVD sales of this
Oh i didnt know that thanx for the info
Disney has nothing to do with this series nor the Fred and Barney Meets The Thing series (aside from the characters) Far as tv and home video goes, WB handles it. When Disney bought Saban, then later Marvel the Hanna Barbera shows that featured Marvel characters wasn't included far as I know it. Yet I suspect that the reason why WB hasn't release it was in case Disney would ask for a royalty fee for the Marvel characters.
Stephen Holloway The how did they release the Blade trilogy on Blu-ray?
Who wouldn’t watch this?! What a intro!
Coolest intro ever! Thanks for posting it.
Childhood Memories
Aida not Ahmad: Definitely the greatest power to possess would be INVISIBILITY ! GO GIRL !
This was my show back in the day during cartoon network's super adventures lineup.
No Herbie??? Boooo! Just kiddin' i hate Herbie.
This theme is to 60s cartoons what the 90s X-Men theme is to 90s cartoons: SICK.
