44697Forgotten Cartoons<p>You know what really sucks? The fact that The Mysterious Cities of Gold&#39;s small cult following in the US isn&#39;t enough to warrant the sequel series a US release. Especially since the show ends this upcoming year and I really want to see what happens to Esteban and friends. Lucky Australia for getting the show imported!</p> RetroSnob88Dec 20, 2019View
44696Forgotten Cartoons<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Anybody remember Sylvanian Families? It&#39;s a very popular toyline from Japan that combines anthropomorphic stuffed animal figurines with these treehouse like plastic dollhouses. In the United States, we know Sylvanian Families as Calico Critters. Anyway, in 1987, Dic (now that&#39;s pronounced Dick. Need a reason why? Watch The Inspector Gadget Christmas Special at the part where Gadget ends up in a dungeon with Santa. With the fact that that was made for children, Andy Heyward is soooooo lucky Chris Hansen had not yet been invented in 1992) made a cartoon based on the cult toy line. The cartoon didn&#39;t leave much of an impact on the American audience (that and considering the beginning plot of each episode, the show has not aged well) but it was popular enough in Spain as well as the UK. So much so, the latter country gave the world another Sylvanian cartoon later that year and then years later, an OVA of it was made in Japan. In the UK, the toyline is the most popular. 2nd best in that category would be the franchise&#39;s native Japan and we lousy Americans come in 3rd by default because of the toyline&#39;s cult status.&nbsp;</p> <p>Without further ado, here&#39;s the intro for the US Sylvanian Families cartoon aka the Dick Entertainment one</p> <div data-oembed-url="https://youtu.be/bh7yHkLPp9s"> <div style="margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; margin-top:0px; max-width:320px"><!-- You're using demo endpoint of Iframely API commercially.

44693Christmas Nostalgia & More!<p><strong><em>The Incredible True Story of How Christmas Came To Be (</em>If you&#39;re a parent, pay attention to this so you can read it to your children)</strong></p> <p>THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO, before the dawn of man as we knew him, there was Sir Santa of Claus, an ape-like creature making crude and pointless toys out of dinobones and his own waste, hurling them at chimp-like creatures with crinkled hands regardless of how they behaved the previous year. These so-called &quot;toys&quot; were buried as witches, and defecated upon, and hurled at predators when wakened by the searing grunts of children. It wasn&#39;t a holly jolly Christmas that year. For many were killed. A war-like race of elves from the Red Planet landed on the ice-encased Earth, and they were immediately enslaved by the unevolved Santa Ape to make his confused toys using galactic elfin technology. Toys were made into recognizable shapes and given names like &quot;train, &quot; but these toys were also thrown at predators and defecated upon because they were so stupid. Christmas still sucked, in a big way.</p> <p>THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO, the ice had made the globe in-navigable. Santa Ape did not know what a North Pole was. How could he? He was born before science existed. So he arbitrarily placed his workshop right here long before they unionized. And Christmas was celebrated at each full moon in front of the great red ape!</p> RetroSnob88Dec 20, 2019View
