51163	When Saturday Morning was Fun	<p>Welcome to September, hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day!</p> <p>I have something a bit unique to share. <strong>Herb Klynn</strong> was Production Chief at UPA animation studio in Los Angeles. Both Herb Klynn and his friend <strong>Jules Engel</strong> had a passion for The Lone Ranger since childhood. These two men created their own production company to revive The Lone Ranger for a new generation. Herb Klynn was especially eager to improve the incidental musical score, lacking in previous productions, to match the majesty of the William Tell Overture.</p> <p>Development for a new Lone Ranger caught the attention of CBS, with program planners suggesting animation instead of live-action. A cartoon series with dramatic music would be unique as a network offering, and it would coordinate well with the new CBS series, The Wild, Wild West, which premiered in 1965.</p> <p>The result was television magic! A new Lone Ranger animated series aired Saturday mornings on CBS for 1966, complimented by The Wild, Wild West live-action series as a Saturday evening primetime show for CBS. There was a bit of crossover of stories and characters between the two, but the outstanding feature of the Lone Ranger cartoon was the extreme 2-D flatness of the artwork highlighted by heavy black shadowing similar to comic book art. </p> <p>But the star of this show was the music. All incidental back scores were performed by the same orchestra that performed the William Tell Overture theme!</p> <p>Listen to the voice actor Paul Winchell as the evil Rainmaker. This is top quality work that made The Lone Ranger a standout among Saturday morning cartoons from the 1960's.</p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qWVUPHNpAYw?si=KSj4cmt7xWJwOI0Q" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>	eddstarr	Sep 05, 2025
51162	If There Was a Retro Hall of Fame...	<p>Macarena</p> <p>Whether you loved it or despised it, there;s no denying its impact on the 90s.

51159	80s Movies Inspired By Freaky Friday	<p>Vice Versa and Like Father Like Son were the two that instantly came to mind.</p>	Vaporman87	Sep 04, 2025
51158	If There Was a Retro Hall of Fame...	<p>My next nomination for a Retro Hall Of Fame is the Harry Potter series (but ONLY the first six books and first four movies), as I am of the opinion that the series peaked with the sixth book and only the first four movies were good adaptations of the books...and even then they still weren't as good as their book counterparts. Plus, only the first six books and the first four movies can truly qualify as retro right now.</p> <p><strong>I do own the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for the Prisoner Of Azkaban movie on vinyl and here is a picture of it below:</strong></p> <p><strong><img alt="" height="667" src="http://retro-daze.org/upload/06C6DB74-E175-40D4-8D33-3EAAC58D8DD2.jpeg" width="500" /></strong></p>	BionicleFan1994	Sep 03, 2025
51157	The Café	<p>Not Nelvana! It's been around forever!</p>	Mr Magic	Sep 02, 2025
51156	The Café	<p>There is no official confirmation yet, but word is going around online that legendary Canadian animation studio Nelvana has shut down. They were involved in many projects ranging from Care Bears, the Magic School Bus, Little Bear, the first season of Inspector Gadget and numerous PBS projects to name just a few. You may remember them for their logo with the bear.</p> <p><img alt="" height="439" src="https://www.retro-daze.org/upload/u8h5i5ix9fi71.jpg" width="780" /></p>	Rick Ace Rhodes	Sep 02, 2025
51155	When Saturday Morning was Fun	<p>For me, I don't think Saturday morning has been fun since around 2003. I used to watch Fox Kids and Kids WB every Saturday morning when I was little. When Fox Kids went off the air I watched the Fox Box for a little bit. I remember also watching Toonami's Rising Sun block as well.</p> <p>All produced amazing shows.</p>	Rick Ace Rhodes	Sep 02, 2025
