80s Cartoons Live Again!

Postby BishounenStalker » Tue Jan 21, 2003 12:13 pm

Just some free ideas for something resembling a co-op like the DDR or NES projects. Except this one would involve AMVs to 80s cartoon show theme songs.

Some possibilities:

X/1999 -- X-Men theme
Gundam Wing -- TaleSpin theme
Princess Mononoke -- Pirates of Dark Water theme
Vampire Hunter D -- Count Duckula theme
Evangelion -- Exo Squad theme

Any thoughts?

I've seen all those shows minus exo squad and to be honest I don't think the ideas are all that great. The theme to Pirates of Dark Warter comtinually speaks about the artifacts and more characters than Monoke has. Xmen and X might make a good action video. However Gundam Wing and Count Duckula I don't think would work. The lyrics just don't fit especially considering D and you are dealing with the mention of a duck every few lines. Sorry to sound like a jerk, but I just don't think the ideas are so great. Haven't seen exosquad though so I won't comment on that.

I had a rather twisted set of images come to mind for Evangelion...

The theme to H.R. Pufnstuf. :shock:

Lyrics:

Opening Lyrics: H.R. Pufnstuf, who's your friend when things get rough?
H.R. Pufnstuf, can't do a little, 'cause you can't do enough

Once upon a summertime
Just a dream from yesterday
A boy and his magic golden flute
Heard a boat from off the bay
"Come and play with me, Jimmy
Come and play with me
And I will take you on a trip
Far across the sea"

But the boat belonged to a kooky old witch
Who had in mind the flute to snitch
From her Vroom Broom in the sky
She watched her plans materialize
She waved her wand
The beautiful boat was gone
The sky grew dark
The sea grew rough
The boat sailed on and on and on and on

But Pufnstuf was watching, too
And knew exactly what to do
He saw the witch's boat attack
And how the boy was fighting back
He called his Rescue Racer Crew
As often they'd rehearsed
And off to save the boy they flew
But who would get there first?

But now the boy had washed ashore
Puf arrived to save the day
Which made the witch so mad and sore
She shook her fist and screamed away

H.R. Pufnstuf, who's your friend when things get rough?
H.R. Pufnstuf, can't do a little, 'cause you can't do enough

Eva-01 = Pufnstuf
Magic flute = entry plug (specifically the one unit 01 crushes)
Witchie-Poo = Chairman Keel
the Vroom Broom and boat = Angels.

Oh sure, it's not perfect by any stretch, but if "Hamtaro is Hardcore" can get made...

For that matter, how about either Flame of Recca or (shudder) DBZ to the theme from"Puff the Magic Dragon"?

Or Vampire Hunter D to Darkwing Duck?

While I can't think of an anime off the top of my head this could work with...the theme to 'Inspector Gadget' could make a pretty funny one

Excuse me, but Pufnstuf is more of a late 60's/early 70's kinda thing.

OMGWTF someone else remembers Exo Squad? Kickass!

However, I think the whole schpiel about e-frames and colonizing planets would make the Eva connection difficult to establish...

Inspector Gadget theme= Escaflowne.

And for Dr. Evil's cat, you could have Merle!!!
Dr. Evil could be Dilandau or Folken.
Inspector Gadget could be Van!
Trigun, Akira also MIGHT work.

Also, it'd work with Gundam Wing/Endless Waltz!

Inspector Gadget= Heero
Dr. Evil= Mariemeia(sp.)
Dr. Evil's Cat= a random Gundam?

Also, Transformers would work, too!

Inspector Gadget= Anyone
Dr. Evil= Megatron
Dr. Evil's cat= the little chestplate things that pop out mini cassette tapes.



Of course, I don't think the main evil guy is called Dr. Evil, but you get the jist anyway.


And what about "My Little Pony"?? You can't do ANYTHING without "My Little Pony"!!! Think of the possibilites, people! Think!!!

:lol: :o :D :P :twisted: :wink: :!: :!:

Well I did do the theme song of Gummi Bears to MS 08th Gundam. Quality wasn't so good and I'm not sure if it was a good video...since it was the very first one I ever made.

I still think I'm going to hell for that one. :twisted:

I think I wanna do another 80's cartoon to an anime. Who knows, maybe the GI Joe theme song to Venus Wars or something. Not really sure.

Most likely Nataku would fit the role for Dr. Claw's cat...considering Wufei was practically Dekim's bitch for the first half

I just remembered.

If this project actually goes somewhere, or people actually make things, here's some cartoons from the 80's to do!


Care Bears
Wildfire
My Little Pony
My Little Pony Tales(This actually doesn't repeat "My Little Pony" every second!)
Strawberry Shortcake
Rainbow Brite
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Berenstine(sp.) Bears
Beast Wars
Go Bots
Power Rangers(although that's nto really a cartoon. . .)
Barney (Imagine the possibilities, here. . .)

And last but not least

Super Mario Brothers(hehe, I own that tape, too!)

I had an idea awhile back to do the GI Joe opening to Gundam Wing, but could never get my hands on anything resembling good source footage.
