Little Known Facts About 25 of Your Favorite 80's Cartoons!

The greatest reveal you provided for me was the Dennis the Menace and Phil Hartman connection. I used to watch that cartoon all the time, but I never realized the same actor I enjoyed as Cap'n Karl on The Pee-Wee Herman show/Pee-Wee's Playhouse was voicing Mr. Wilson!
The error on the Ghostbusters fact threw me for a second, but it did remind me that in an interview with Ernie Hudson, who played Winston in the movies, he said that he auditioned for the role on the cartoon, but the part went to Arsenio instead. Isn't that crazy?

Stewart Copeland also had a hand in another beloved franchise, though this was video games: he did the music for the original Spyro the Dragon Trilogy.
I love how descriptive Japanese titles can be. The Japanese title for "Despicable Me" is "Mysterious Thief Gru’s Moon Theft," and the title of "Being John Malkovich" is "John Malkovich's Hole"...errr
Fun article, I love learning about things from my time and earlier.

Fun stuff, thanks for sharing.
The Droids song was not only written/performed by Stewart Copeland, but also Derek Holt of Climax Blues Band. I asked him about it in a recent interview I did with him.
I have also published interviews with Jymn Magon who helped create/develop Disney afternoon cartoons including Duck Tales as well as Christy Marx who wrote/developed Jem

Oh that Dace Coulier, what *can't* he do!? :-p Great article of facts. I loved reading this one. I didn't know a single one of these things. Retro-rating approved! :-)

Yeah, I knew he replaced Lorenzo Music as Peter. That had me wondering if he really did replace Arsenio, doing two voices on the show.

actually dave coullier was the one who provided the voice of peter when season 3 came along. one of the transformers voice actors replaced arsenio hall.

Wow. This had a surprisingly high amount of facts unknown to me. I didn't even realize BraveStarr was Filmation's final outing. Nor was I aware that He-Man and She-Ra were originally going to be love interests. That just creeps me out to think about now. LOL
Also, Dave Coulier gets around my friend.
Smurfs killing people doesn't actually surprise me that much. That Grumpy Smurf was just a hair's breadth away from killing the whole lot of them. LOL
