| 2531 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @onipar Actually, I just found a "video game bar" out here in Arizona that has that exact set-up. You must have willed it into existence! | Aug 16, 2015 |  | |
| 2530 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I have loved your whole series of childhood stories from Brooklyn. So relatable, yet the East Coast setting makes it feel more exotic. Cool older kids who were bored with their possessions were a great source for not only video games, but action figures, comics and more. Though when it came to Nintendo, I definitely did more playing at friends houses than trading, since my own collection was pretty sparse. | A Summer Quest | Aug 16, 2015 | |
| 2529 | Article | Hoju Koolander | It's great to have both brothers contributing now, especially since it sounds like your retro-interests are closer to mine than Benjanime's (he's a fine writer, I just can't relate to his articles most of the time). Though I'm much too aware of my comic book collecting, it love the idea of finding a secret stash I forgot about. As a dedicated fan of all the Robin's in my youth, A Death In The Family is one of my favorites as well and it paved the way for my favorite Robin, Tim Drake. I am actually just reading The Killing Joke for the first time right now and man, is it twisted. I'll be curious to see the animated version, since they did a pretty good job being faithful to The Dark Knight Returns. Looking forward to more articles from you, maybe about your action figure collecting? | The Cereal Box in the Closet | Aug 16, 2015 | |
| 2528 | Article | Hoju Koolander | 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? | Little Known Facts About 25 of Your Favorite 80's Cartoons! | Aug 16, 2015 | |
| 2527 | Article | kstrom22 | 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. | Little Known Facts About 25 of Your Favorite 80's Cartoons! | Aug 16, 2015 | |
| 2526 | Article | OldSchool80s | 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 | Little Known Facts About 25 of Your Favorite 80's Cartoons! | Aug 14, 2015 | |
| 2525 | Article | onipar | 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! :-) | Little Known Facts About 25 of Your Favorite 80's Cartoons! | Aug 14, 2015 | |
| 2524 | Article | Vaporman87 | 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. | Little Known Facts About 25 of Your Favorite 80's Cartoons! | Aug 14, 2015 | |
| 2523 | Article | Benjanime | 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. | Little Known Facts About 25 of Your Favorite 80's Cartoons! | Aug 14, 2015 | |
| 2521 | Article | Vaporman87 | 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 | Little Known Facts About 25 of Your Favorite 80's Cartoons! | Aug 14, 2015 | |
