Well, it says "80's cartoons", so I guess it must be ok... as long as they are from the 80's :tomato:

[Don Andy]

Wee, got mine.
I'm glad even the gummi bears got a cool villain ;)

Ok, maybe we'll just forget the "cool" and make that "funny" :P

[Bobbin Threadbare]

I believe I've seen a few of those, quite interesting actually. :)

I remember... LaLinea and Gusztav were my favorite pre-school cartoons (then we got cable), but I still like them!

BTW - here's Gusztav (it's from 50s I think, so unfortunately no one can use it as this week's avatar).

Yea,
Gustav was fun.

Was Dr. Baltazar from 80s?

Some other long cartoon I remeber being popular were Sport Billy, Tarzan and Smurfs. (or what are called Strumfovi :))

[Gelfo]

yay!!! 1989...

Points to anyone who recognises..

And a cool theme song..

"Dashing and daring, courageous and caring
Faithful and friendly with so much to share
Right through the forest they sing out in chorus
Marching along as their song fills the aiiirrr
Gummie beeeaaarrrs
Bouncing here and there and everywhere.."

"Magic and mystery are part of their history..
along with the secret of gummie berry juice" (aha)

Yes he was, but he is professor, not doctor :bleh:
And croatian animators are trying to revive him.

Thank you for good idea :ok:

[Kon-Tiki]

@Gelfo: That's Alfred Jodocus Kwak. Used to love that show as a toddler.
@Anubis: They never really broadcasted that often here, but I've seen a DVD of it recently, plus saw one or two episodes of it.

Figured out what I'll take for avatar. My Splinter avatar from a few months ago's no good. That's from a new series of The Turtles, but'll look for another figure. One that's cool as he... hot as he... pretty damn cool in his own way.

Sorry, but who is that guy? Doesn't surprise me now that I wasn't able to identify your avatar.

But now, that I've seen the original pic, I can say that your ava resembles that guy pretty well.

You're welcome. :)

Its been long time since I saw single episode of Professor Baltazar.

I used to love Pink Panther (I believe he is older) and that anoying snake, was it 'Eustahije Brzic' in our language? (He would say 'Zdavo zmijoljubci' )

Here is another character from early childhood....

This one reminds me of Tijuana Toads...

[troop18546]

Just as a comment:

Tiki's and Havell's cartoons arent from the 80's.
Biker Mice from Mars is '93-'96
And Dastardly and Mutley is from the sixties.
:whistle:

[Sebatianos]

Hey you're right... What about Bobbin? Isn't that one from a Scooby Doo show? There's a chance it aired before 1981 as well.

[troop18546]

Well, he has a modified bobbin avatar and that hardly counts as a scooby doo avvie. But the "Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo" series were definately from the 80's or maybe 78, 79.

[kajjj]

why '80?
cartoons would be enough.

[Kon-Tiki]

Hey, isn't that one of the Nazi's crosses on He-man's shirt? :blink:

OMG :w00t: I loved Scooby-doo when i was a kid!! We had one video shop near us, and they only had one scooby-doo video in it. I used to hire it out over and over to watch it, and this was one of the episodes! I love it!! :ok:

well it's not swastika (which budhist lands are also full of).

it is however the cross of Wermacht and german empire. hasn't got much to do with nazism as an ideology. it's a simbol of german army though (even nowadays).

Hey, don't forget that we (the Germans) are always nazis. And of course, evil.

Well, I didn't even knew this thing was used by the Bundeswehr and if it were a swastika on He-Man's chest I would just laugh out loud ;)

So: I'm pretty German and I don't see why I should be offended by He-Man in any way. He's cool :P

[Fruit Pie Jones]

Yes, I'm late again.

[Eagle of Fire]

Hey, isn't that one of the Nazi's crosses on He-man's shirt? blink.gif

No, it's not. It a sign you can see very comonly on medieval stuff. Even if the Nazis would be using it, I really, really don't see the link between them anyways.

[Tulac]

It's Malthesian Cross or something like that, I think it's a sign from crusaders, but it was also used as nazi insignia...

[Havell]

It's the Maltese Cross (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltese_Cross)

It's a very famous symbol, used in many contexts, including the Germans during their empire days. As such, it was used by the Nazis in order to inspire patriotic zeal from the German people.

[gregor]

Well it might derive from Maltese cross, buit to me it looks more like Iron cross, first awarded on 10 March 1813:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Cross


On the above link you can see the developement of this cross and how it is connected with Nazies.
