Old and forgotten Cartoon series

Ulysses 31 was great.

For about 20 or so years, in fact, as long as I can remember, I have been seeking out the name of this show about dinosaurs an island that all have individual powers [which were like office tools; see link] and it melted my head.

No one I knew remembered it at all, so it had proved almost impossible to find.

Then a few weeks ago for whatever reason through a combo of remembering old shows and tracking them down I ended up on the TCC wikipedia page and lo and behold there it was looking at me:

DIPLODOS!

The itch that it scratched, was like nothing else.

I also went on and had a listen to all the earworm intros I still remember to this day like Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, Ulysses31 and of course the king of all theme tunes:

Some great shouts there lads....makes me pity for some of the crap kids have to watch these days.


Dont you open that TRAP DOOR!
You're a fool if you dare!



Theme toon brought a tear to my eye.

Curious George in the 80's, which was shown on Anything Goes, on Saturday mornings.
"Geeeorge was curious".

I remember the animation on that was very basic, especially when it showed characters running.

As a kid - Jamie and his Magic torch.

As a postmodern teenager - Earthworm Jim.

I remember this cartoon about inside the human body. How blood would be attacking viruses etc. It was fcucking amazing.

Was just coming to post this....Once upon a time, I think??

Also Centurions, about 3 elite warriors who could wear special weapons sent to them from a space station.

A poster above got it 'how my body works'. Loved the centurions too.

I also remember Superted in Irish.

Anyone remember Valley Of The Dinosaurs?

All my favourites have been mentioned

Centurions, Ulysses 31, Thundercats, MASK etc
Ulysses 31 has, without doubt, the greatest theme tune ever.

This was another one I used to watch - Thunderbirds 2086

One thing I do know, they definitely do not make them like they used to. Saturday mornings were just the best!!

No one mentioned He-Man yet. You shameful heathens.

He- Man will never be forgotten.

I remember a captain planet where they visited Belfast and stopped the trouble with the provos and the loyalists by baking bread. Kids these days don't know what they are missing.

Another one was about bouncing bears, bouncing here and there and everywhere.

Remembered the above now. Gummy Bears.

Once upon a time, Life.

I used to love that. Probably wouldn't be allowed on TV nowadays.

Yeah, that's it. I do remember some very strange scenes that weren't expected in a kids show.
