Like both films & both of the cartoon series, but prefer 'Evolution'. It's got far better plots & the animation is far more up to date.

(both show on SKY 621-Toonami)

Samurai Jack. The more I watch it, the more I like it.
Think it'd make a great movie.

Gotham Girls

Think this is an internet only cartoon. It teams up BatGirl, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn & CatWoman.
Very nicely done

Post by: turtle on November 21, 2003, 08:42:33: Top cat.

Inspired by hit '50s TV comedy series The Phil Silvers Show (1955-1959) and the exploits of Ernest Bilko and his workshy motor-pool platoon, Hanna Barbera's Top Cat premiered in 1961 and ran for 30 episodes.
It remains one of the studios most enduring creations...
Top Cat - TC to his close friends - is the sharp talking leader of a merry bunch of Manhattan alley cats: Fancy Fancy, Spook, Benny, Brain and Choo Choo.
Constantly scheming, their failed social climbing is observed by the local patrolman, Officer Dibble, who tries his utmost to evict the gang from Hoagy's Alley.

In the UK, the show was renamed Boss Cat when it was first aired on BBC1 because Top Cat was also the name of a brand of cat food!

Phil, there's a heck of a lot on that 'Whom' website, I'll have a proper look later. But here's just a couple of comments.

Wallace & Gromit; who could believe Plastacene could be so expressive??
Remember Gromit in jail?? (Close Shave)

New Avengers; Purdey :D , Joanna Lumley before she lowered herself to stuff like 'Ab-Fab'
Patrick MacNee, the absolute epitome of an English gentleman in it.

Title: Favourite Cartoon Hero's
Post by: turtle on November 21, 2003, 12:53:25: Then thereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Shaun the Sheep :D

Home: Although his original home is unknown - it is likely that Shaun first lived in a field (him being a sheep and all that) He was kidnapped by Wendoline and Preston for wool and dog food - but escaped and crawled through Gromit's dog flap - where he is currently living - and very happily at that.

Distinguishing Features: Shaun would look just like any other sheep on this whole planet if it were not for his groovy knitted jumper - made from his own wool! He is a bit of a scruffy sheep, with very skinny legs - which is surprising seeing as he eats so much.

Favourite Food: Eats anything and everything! However, it becomes apparent as time goes on that Shaun is just as partial to cheese as Wallace - no wonder they get on so well!

Skills: Shaun is without a doubt the most intelligent sheep on this planet. Throughout the film 'A Close Shave' Shaun dazzles us with acts of cunning, bravery, acrobatics, and loyalty to his friends Wallace and Gromit. He organised Gromit's jailbreak and also helped to defeat Preston - Wendoline's evil cyber dog. Shaun truly is a king amongst sheep!

Post by: Bush Tucker Man on November 21, 2003, 13:27:03: Referring back to Gromit, there were 2 scenes in 'A Close Shave' that impressed upon me the power of Plastocene.

1. As mentioned, the jail. He receives a present in a box (jigsaw) the tears turn on & the shoulders heave.

2. Earlier, Wallace comments about the 'Knit-O-Matic' machine working properly and says;
"We've tried it on Gromit, haven't we lad?"
Gromit looks very reflective, & nods his head.

Post by: turtle on November 21, 2003, 14:20:50: And remember this chap

"Captain...... CAAAAAAAVEMAAAAAAAAAN!!!"

Who can forget Captain Caveman? I used to love this cartoon too.

Captain Caveman was a prehistoric superhero unfrozen by three teenage beauties. They took him around in their van, solving mysteries across the country. And he could fly.

The captain's powers of flight came from his multi-purpose club, which could pop open to produce any gadget necessary to defeat the villain. Sidekick Cave Bird was also on hand to keep his master's devices straight. The girls, known collectively as the "Teen Angels," were brainy Brenda, scaredy pants Taffy and easygoing Dee Dee.

Supremely hairy, "Cavey" was also blessed with a great set of lungs, which he would use to yell out his name when flying into action.
