Dude, when they make the Shirt Tales movie I am so there.

All the Hanna-Barbera cartoons were crap. There, I said it. They have that nostalgia appeal for a lot of people, but just do a side-by-side comparison with the Warner Bros. or MGM cartoons.

Hanna-Barbera was cheapass crap animation with interchangable characters, stiff motion when they bothered with motion at all, repeating backgrounds, shit writing and bad voice acting. Just utter crap.

Fuck Yogi Bear and BooBoo too.

You know what'd make me see this? Do the whole goddamed thing live-action. With a giant-ass bear tearing the shit outta a slew of Park Rangers. Entrails flying, giant claws tearing through supple flesh, picnic baskets... OOH! And lesbians! Constantly making out in the background... Not for real lesbians, but like the absurd porno lesbians. And then, like they bears are totally kicking ass, and there's just... just gore everywhere, and then Judas Priest takes the stage and just... just GAH! It'd be awesome it'd be so great to see HOLY SHIT! Do the Grape Ape vs. Yogi for the showdown! They could dye a run-of-the-mill gorilla purple and OOOWWWEEE, they have to make this movie!!!

You seriously want to see Eli Roth make the Yogi Bear movie, Skitt?

... Wacky Races, is what you're thinking of.

Also, WHY. Imagine the fun, interesting, quirky kids movies the budget for this could produce. Who puts the seal of approval on this crap? Who thinks this is marketable?

I always preferred the Laff-A-Lympics.

cast of regulars would engage in a Cannonball Run type race every week. What the hell was that called?

Good old Wikipedia. Wacky Races, my friend. Although it doesn't say anything about Grape Ape or Snagglepuss, which leads me to think there was another one and I'm combining a couple of shows in my head.

"You seriously want to see Eli Roth make the Yogi Bear movie, Skitt?"

Y'know what? In this case, I would. MAKE IT HAPPEN ROTH!

"It's not nice to maul Ranger Ned, Homi Bear."
"YOU WANT SOME OF THIS?!"
"No!"

Actually I'd really like them to bring back Speedy Gonzales. The cat could be the border guard and Speedy could just zoom back and forth across the border all day demonstrating how horrifically stupid the "wall" is.

It sounds like this is going to be another Rocky and Bulwinkle live action fiasco.

Be careful, Dustin. Your Over-30 license may be revoked if they find out you can't remember Wacky Races (Ms. BP gets a caution for the implication that it had to be looked up). Anyone living like the kid in "Son of Rambow" can be excused with a note though. That was one of the best moments at that midnight showing of The Phantom Menace, when the pod racers were gearing up and my friend said "it's Wacky Races!" And indeed it was (and then we clapped and giggled girlishly when the jawa said "OOH TEE-NEE!", cause we're like that, I'll admit). Plus I've always remembered him wishing on the way home that Darth Maul had something to the effect of "I killed yo daddeh!" I agreed that the line would've worked.

Fuckin A right I want a Captain Caveman movie. But not like this. Ohhh not like this. And not with no Scrappy Son.

Unga Bunga.

Richie Rich ? Wasn't that done already with Maculy Culkin ?

they could always do a torture porn type film with dick dastardly trying to make penelope pitstop squeal. It would be perfect too, all he ever did in his two or three shows was come up with convoluted contraptions that failed to get the job done, resulting in him coming up with another even more convoluted plan.

Fuck your key in the eyeball jigsaw, hows about a bomb cleverly disguised as a member of the opposite sex? hows that for messed up?

You know what'd make me see a Captain Caveman movie? Do the whole goddamed thing live-action. With a crazy, hairy homeless guy tearing the shit outta a slew of City Cops. Entrails flying, broken bottles tearing through supple flesh, shopping carts... OOH! And lesbians! Constantly making out in the background... Not for real lesbians, but like the absurd porno lesbians. And then, like the dude's totally kicking ass, and there's just... just gore everywhere, and then Iron Maiden takes the stage and just... just GAH! It'd be awesome it'd be so great to see HOLY SHIT! Do the Scrappy Son vs. Crazy Guy for the showdown! They could hire a run-of-the-mill little feller and OOOWWWEEE, they have to make this movie!!!

I had to look it up, Jay... I'm waaayy over 30 and my memory, she ees not so good, anymore... plus, as I said, I thought I was combining a couple of shows in my head, so double checking was in order.

Also, Jerce? One word for you: Herculoids, baby. (ok, that's two words. still. Hanna Barbera rocks.)

Okay, okay, "waaayy over 30" is a very reasonable defense and so I won't pop quiz you with what Alf's home planet is called.

Skit, I think I'd like to see that Captain Caveman.

I'm assuming by "Alf" you mean Gordon Shumway, insurance salesman.

Damn. I had to look up Melmac.

I'd love to hear Skitt's pitch for a Peter Potamus movie....

You know what'd make me see a Peter Potamus movie? Do the whole goddamed thing live-action. With a rabid hippo tearing the shit outta a slew of Safari dudes. Entrails flying as the Hippo Hurricane Holler causes flesh to separate from bone... OOH! And lesbians! Constantly making out in the background... Not for real lesbians, but like the absurd porno lesbians. And then, like the hippo's totally kicking ass, and there's just... just gore everywhere, and then Danzig takes the stage and just... just GAH! It'd be awesome it'd be so great to see HOLY SHIT! Do the Peter Potamus vs. Magilla Gorilla for the showdown! They could hire a pyrotechnics crew and OOOWWWEEE, they have to make this movie!!!

I was assigned a short history of the Hanna-Barbera Studios for a writing class. I titled it Shit Factory.

I got a D just for the title. Fuck H-B, and fuck you, Dr. Lambert.

So? Nobody is going to bring it up? The most obvious answer to this?

*sigh*

Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law: The Movie

"This fall, you finally get that thing he sencha'"

Much better.

Does no one else here get the Boomerang channel? I think the entire Boomerang lineup consists of old H-B "classics". My 4-yo son absolutely LOVED Wacky Races and would watch it every day. Yogi Bear barely registered with him.



I, on the other hand, really hated all H-B cartoons as a kid.

holy shit-SHIRTTAILS! that takes me waaaay back.
i had an awesome coloring book with them...

Now, now, Elsie -- Boomerang DOES have MGM and Tom and Jerry. Of course, that's the ONLY redeeming factor for that channel.

Yeeeeeesh. *fires up multi-disk player with a Looney Tunes collection*

Wacky Races really is the shit. Peter Perfect, Penelope Pitstop, The Ant Hill Mob. All the favorites. It could be an ensemble cast. Like an Oceans movie. In fact, somebody should do that. A big race with a really awesome cast.
Aaaaand after two seconds of though I guess that movie was called Rat Race. And wow. Bad idea.

*Thought*

Why not Huckleberry Hound? He's like the George Bush of cartoons. Heck, Oliver Stone could have made a double feature.

I read most of the script. It has a spectacled bear in it. I never did like Yogi Bear, so I'm biased, but I didn't think it was that great.

Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law: The Movie would be absolutely unforgivably awesome.

The only kind of bear I ever want to see from now on is a laser bear dancing to Footloose.

Is this movie an attempt by bear lovers to undo the lessons learned from Grizzly Man? As retribution for this heinous hurrah to interspecies interference there should be a live action Smokey the bear movie. He'd finally start taking extreme John Rambo-type measures to prevent forest fires. "Only you can prevent your untimely death."

You guys can shit on those cartoons all you want, but if it wasn't for them, we would never have gotten "Harvey Birdman". So there.

Also, wasn't there already a richie-rich movie? It involved a giant laser and mount rushmore if I'm not mistaken.

They already did Richie Ritch years ago. It had that little shitweasel from the Home Alone movies. It sucked balls.

Crikey, what's next? After they finish making this movie (and use half a bog roll wiping the skidmarks away) perhaps the producers will pitch a H.R. Pufnstuf movie. Or Thundercats? Or Mysterious Cities of Gold? (Actually, MCOG might be good...)

At least we know Gem is safe. She isn't slutty enough to sell to the toddlers of today.

Damn, Skitt's on fire, no sense even trying to compete with any of that. Can only humbly ask for Skitt's take on Deputy Dawg, Tennessee Tuxedo and Tom Slick (and his Thunderbolt Grease Slapper) are still out there.

Now me, I'm STILL waiting for the fuckin' Banana Splits movie. That Snorky had a hose on him ...

Hey, how about a live-action Pepe LePew, with real skunks? Could Paris be the cat?

Crikey, what's next? After they finish making this movie (and use half a bog roll wiping the skidmarks away) perhaps the producers will pitch a H.R. Pufnstuf movie. Or Thundercats?

Ask and ye shall receive.
