It was Don Bluth studios (obviously here for tax reasons), they went burst on friday I remember (vaguely) and were taken over by Disney by Monday morning. I think they have some animation connections with Stillorgan college as regards internships.

Don Bluth? Fiefel Mouse, Land before time (childrens dinosaur cartoons), teenage mutant hero Turtles, All dogs go to heaven....... they were quite busy. Now all the cells are gone and its 3d animation.

Wasn't it Murakami Wolf that did TMNT? 9 don't think Don Bleuth put out anything as shoddy as that.

They have connections with Ballyfermot College.

The animation department there is a direct result of Sullivan Bluth studios setting up on Conyngham Road.

The building is still there as i think the insolvency service. I'll have a look.

Also, I found a really great article on the animation studios buried on the internet while looking for something else last year.

I'll root it out for ye.

I regularly go on Youtube after a few drinks and dive into theme tunes from the 80s and 90s and reminisce

I loved Beverly Hills Teens!!
Others I don't think were mentioned:
The Shoe People
Raggy Dolls
Inspector Gadget

I remember going to see All Dogs go to Heaven in the Bluth Studios in the late 80s. It was definitely located either where the ISI is or near it.

I remember it distinctly, as a dog lover I was traumatised watching the (animated) film and avoid any film with dogs to this day.

Actually I have a friend with an autistic nephew who is a fantastic animator, I would be very interested now that he is getting closer to the Leaving Cert. He got by on his natural talent for the Junior cert, he got the only A in his class

. I am sure he will do great things in the future but it would be nice to get it right off the first bat.

The Irish episodes in tv shows especially cartoons are so bad there great :pac:
Sure Inspector Gadget made his way over here as well green fields old thatched houses and sheep and all the usual stereotype things

How Soon Is Now · 07-08-2020 9:37pm

I remember there was at least two versions of the English Dennis The Menace and the blonde haired version then for the US.

Dinosaucers and Dinoriders are another two that just came into my head!

Has anyone mentioned Darkwing Duck , Tailspin , Chip and Dale , Ducktales ? :pac: More then likely lol.

This always reminds me of watching The Den

There was a really strange cartoon on RTE on Saturday mornings where it was all different colored arses as the characters. It was only on for a few weeks, probably around 1990.

Good call, always with the tear-jerking.

Is there ever one where our hero gets to live out their days in peace with an old boot to chew and a next door neighbour cat to chase?

Was there anything else done by Murakami Wolf in Dublin or was it just TMNT? I see on wiki that the company also did Toxic Crusaders but would that have been done here?

Good few memories coming back to me seeing that, ones that had totally forgotten about like The Raccoons.

Had no idea The Den is gone 10 years, just assumed they kept it going with ever younger presenters..

I remember waking up way too early one Saturday morning turned on the tv and I dunno wtf I put on but I got a serious shock :pac:. Can't remember exactly what it was but got a fright anyway haha. Me da was getting up for work around the same time and made me go back upstairs!

Saturday/Sunday morning tv used to be class alongside a big bowl of sugar and a bit of cereal thrown in for good measure haha.

PerryB78 · 07-08-2020 10:17pm

Battle of the planets? And a chewy bar out around that time too if im not mistaken

Dunno if you would call it a cartoon more animated adult type thing but anyone remember The Critic ?

Remember watching TFI as a teenager and Chris Evans regularly showing how kids cartoons hid inappropriate things. Funniest one was when daphne, on scooby doo, for no reason should gave her ass a wiggle when someone else was chatting. How did they get away with things like this:

Man Vs ManUre · 07-08-2020 10:34pm

My favourites were Thundercats, dungeons and dragons, Bertha, button moon, the series on Bosco where Gregory Grainneog ate too much at his rabbit friends gaff and he got stuck in the exit hole, and Charlie Brown. Sadly I was too old to have got into the rugrats.

Eastern block cartoons a staple of RTE during the 80's. Probably paid £5 for each episode. Strangely engaging but clueless to what was going on.
I'm on holidays in a greenlist country. The only thread on the site I'm viewing at the moment. Fun no misery.
Tom and Jerry before PC, brilliant.

As a result of this thread I’m sitting on the couch at age 44 watching Willie Fog on a Saturday morning ffsðŸ˜‚.

Gremlinertia · 08-08-2020 10:06am

Oh dogtanian and the three musketeers!. Think I remember the theme tune being mad too.

Hangdogroad · 08-08-2020 10:53am

The original Popeye cartoons from the 50s and 60s were great. The various reboots from the late 70s and 80s toned down the violence and werent as much fun. The complete nadir came with Popeye and Son circa 86. Awful, awful stuff. Popeye was turned into a new man sap and he had this complete gobshyte of a teenage son who most of the focus was on

Weird early 80s Irish Sci Fi cartoon 'CP and Qwikstitch'

It was also shown on BBC1, it was unusual to see the RTE credits on a BBC Channel

How Soon Is Now · 08-08-2020 11:17am

There's this thing dunno whether it was segments or an actual show that I'm sure was on TCC called telly cat. Dunno if that's the correct spelling but no one else apart from me ma remembers it haha!!

I have this memory of cat sitting outside and this weird bird thing in used to talk to that was down a hole!

I've looked online many times can't find a thing.

There's was link anchorman as well look that up on YouTube and I'm sure it will trigger all kinds of memories haha.

Woody the Woodpecker had some good stuff with Chilly Willy etc

I was going to mention this yesterday and thought nobody would remember.

It had the most depressing theme tune. It was originally French. Called telechat. But it was called telly cat/telecat in English.

A few clips on YouTube. I think it used to be on during the DJ katt show too.

I used to love:

Dr. Snuggles
Super Ted
M.A.S.K
Mysterious Cities of Gold
Dogtanion
Babar
Inspector Gadget
Ghost Busters
James Bond Junior
Brave Star
Bobby's World
Pinky and The Brain
Stunt Dawgs
Rescue Rangers

But for me M.A.S.K, Cities of Gold and Inspector Gadget really make me feel nostalgic. I love IG, even at the time, I thought some of the art and drawing was just so intriguing.

I'm trying to remember a cartoon that may have been set in the early 1900's with a boy and girl, they may have been homeless and they had a pet dog "fallsnap" or something. Anyone know?

Kalimah · 08-08-2020 2:21pm

Does anyone remember Wait til Your Father gets Home? Watched it in the 70s. There was a guy in it who never stopped talking about vigilantes and the Russians. At one stage I thought I'd imagined the whole program!!

There was another very similar cartoon called the Barkleys which had anthropomorphic dogs as the characters. Might have been a spin off. The father was right wing and always giving out about hippys etc.
