I was always creeped out by cartoons that superimposed real mouths on the characters.

It was a little creepy, but it allowed them to get away with some of the worst animation ever called a cartoon in history!

Space Angel was another with the floating lips.It was touted as the next big thing in animation. SYNCHRO-VOX!!!

I use to love Catch the Peigion and Whacy Races sadly these are no longer on now. But my 2 grandchildren are getting to the age were they are being to watch TV so I guess its just a matter of time till I end up with new favourites

They are both available on DVD, if you were interested in acquiring them. I wondered if anyone ever did a tally on the Wacky Racers to see who won the most races in total. I suppose it would be fairly easy to do with the DVD collection.

I remember in the late 1970's, Tom and Jerry was voted the most popular show on British television...and I don't just mean cartoons!

 

[DEgeezer]

Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. Too funny!

Wow lots of memories. My cartoon viewing goes back to the fifties.

Now, things I noticed in the Popeye cartoons:
Bluto’s name changed to Brutus.
Popeye’s closed eye could be either eye.
Popeye and Bluto must have been heavy drinkers. Look what they were always fighting about. Olive Oil! Come on man.

My clear favorite as child was the Super Friends. There’s no question that many grown adults today could still learn from them.

The eye thing may be explained by the same reason why pirates wore an eye patch. By keeping one eye closed above deck, that eye could then be opened when below deck. This would essentially that period of blindness when going from the bright sunlight to a darkened room/hold.

Also, Popeye and Bluto/Brutus fought over Olive Oyl, not Olive Oil. I mean, it's not like they were really looking to do any cooking.

Incidentally, Popeye originated as a character in a (popular) comic strip focused in the Oyl family. Weirdly, the rest of the Oyl family really didn't appear in the Popeye cartoons.
