Does anyone remember a cartoon about a giant dragon type creature, I think it was turned to stone and was trapped in a huge cave but could communicate somehow. It was evil and wanted to escape and had minions working towards that goal.

I can't remember any more details about it

Dragon lance or Fable

The Mysterious Cities of Gold (season 1&2)
Dogtanian

These 2 were made for binge watching. If you missed an episode or two it got confusing.

I remember Flight of the Dragons, cartoon but think it was a once off TVM rather than series.

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.

Yes, the scheduling sometimes wouldn't be great so the next episode wouldn't always be in order. Few other series never really had an ending.

Had a brainwave and looked it up a few years ago, Inspector Gadget never did catch up with Dr Claw...

Few more I liked

Heathcliff
Ovide
Rude dog and the Dweebs

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 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?

You might find it on this list

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..

How Soon Is Now · 07-08-2020 9:55pm

Heres a few more!

It would have been part of Scratch Saturday rather than The Den
