Honestly after hearing it again... I'd put it number 1. It doesn't even need words.. You know how bad you have to be to not need words.



It is pretty much perfect...

Side note... I'm going to have to give the US producers of Voltron made Credit because this theme isn't even remotely close to the original Beast King Go Lion Theme...

You have to have made skills to look at the original show and come up with that Emmy worthy theme.

it is NOT easy to craft a TRUE theme song...

and when you DO?

its forever...and resonates more than any pop song.

But understand @ViCiouS point

yo can't SING it so its a different feeling and experience.

But when you hear the Buck Rogers theme?

you KNOW it in your soul its about to be epic...

But I think Duck Tales Bionix Six Chip and Dale etc are in a different category....

are you kidding? :)
I was talking about Mask and Karate Kid-
Voltron's theme is still nuts! Its sets the mood almost as well as Batman TAS' did or as anything John Williams did -

I KNOW fam...

that Mask theme was cool though..it had that 80s rock vibe got hood kids thinking they Rod Stewart and sh*t

and I remember singing along cause I think MASK was early morning during the week? Or Sundays or some weird time.

It want a Saturday morning or afternoon joint?

sidebar: I BEGGED my mom for that car...BEGGED

Damn I forgot about Chip & Dale..

Man to be honest... we could just do a thread on Disney Cartoon Theme songs.. All that shit was great.

Darkwing Duck, The Mighty Ducks, Tail Spin, Duck Tales, Chip & Dale, Goof Troop, Gargoyles....

It would easier to list the worst theme songs..

Holy Shit... How in the Hell can I forget about SWAT KATS..

Talk about a Show that Deserves a 3d Movie.



^^^^^

DAMN...I remember that show...

that show had absolutely had NO RIGHT to be as deep and as a dark as it was.

Fonzi now THAT is a deep pull.

I cannot believe there isn't a REAL cartoon network with ALL these shows.

Man I've got encyclopedic knowledge when it comes to 80's and 90s cartoons..

But SWATKATS is just one of those All time classics that needs to be on the air somewhere. It came out when the world wasn't ready for it. It was back when TBS use to show cartoons.

Didnt that show's creators launch a Kickstarter page to try and bring that back..?

C & D Rescue Rangers..had no idea that it was The Jets who did the show's theme

Another show that needs a revival..



They shouldve put out the soundtrack for this,had some other nice pieces of incidental action/background music

Why a reboot of Disney's Gargoyles is definitely needed

gargoyles_disney_01.jpg


Television in the 1990s was pretty progressive and ahead of its time in so many ways.

Not only was there an explosion in the number of sitcoms led by people of color — particular people of African-American descent — but also Warner Bros. and Disney were probably at the height of their animation with great after-school programming.

One of the greatest animated shows to come out of the '90s has to be Disney’s Gargoyles, which blended action and drama, featured characters of various ethnicities and was voiced by an equally diverse cast: Keith David as Goliath, Sally Richardson as Elisa Maza, Jonathan Frakes as David Xanatos and Marina Sirtis as Demona.

Though the show has been long gone, it seems like a revival in 2017 would be much welcomed as a call for diverse actors — and even more diversified storytelling.

In the past few years, there's been a major problem with the amount of diversity on the big screen. However, when it comes to television, it seems several networks have learned to combat the problem by welcoming people of color as major characters on some of its hit shows, including Fox's Gotham and The CW's The Flash.

However, with as many shows as there are embracing people of color, there is still a lack of cultural awareness or a representation of how vast the world we live in truly is.

Now, it may seem strange that a cartoon can remedy this problem, but a revival of Gargoyles can be part of the solution.

During its two-season run, the animated series — centering on centuries-old mythical creatures awakening and adapting to life in the 20th century — took its viewers literally all over the world.

There were episodes that touched on almost every type of background, including the Native American legends of Coyote, the West African tale of Anansi the Spider, the Norse mythos of Odin and even the Celtic lore of King Arthur and Camelot. The characters made trips to Japan and Brazil and taught the audience a thing or two about embracing the different and unusual.

But even if we remove the cultural travel aspect of the show, the multi-ethnic dynamics in the lead characters alone were ahead of its time.

Viewers were introduced to a bi-ethnic female protagonist in Elisa Maza, born to an African American anthropologist mother of Nigerian descent and a Hopi Native American father. She has a younger brother and a sister, both of whom were drawn differently to express the diaspora of their combined heritages.




Elisa's boss, Captain Maria Chavez, was of Hispanic descent, while the initial villain of the show was billionaire David Xanatos, the self-made son of Greek immigrants. Talk about your various walks of life!

Though the Gargoyles were European (Scottish, to be exact), they adapted to their new home of New York City and embraced all of its varied residents — though it took some time before the humans would accept them.

Oh, and the love between both Goliath and Elisa was undeniable, and though the pair couldn't be together (as they were two completely different species), their relationship spoke volumes on the idea of love being blind.

The lives of the clan were almost an allegory for racial prejudice, and their journey towards acceptance, compromise and understanding is definitely something that can be witnessed in today's current climate.

I don't know about you, but I think a show about tolerance is definitely needed right about now. To this, I say it's time Disney brought back Gargoyles.

Man I would have loved to see a Pole Position Movie... but I think that we are so far along with Technology that it would seem dated.

Now the Property that is just sitting out there that would be perfect for a redo would be TurboTeen.

You would have to Tweak the effects of Cold and Hot on his Body... to something like a specific temperature triggers the change.

I'd also make it a pure action movie with slight comedic elements..



THIS

WAS

MY

SH*T
