[PromykZamojski]

Boomers - Most mediocre generation ever!

[gilgamesh1962]

@PromykZamojski And what has the present generation done? except complain about everything lol. boo hoo

oh wait, we have social networks, oh thanks.

[WytZox1]

Shows like this, Capt. Video and Tom Corbett's Space Cadets were the early incarnations of Star Trek. ST however was the 1st ADULT sci-fi show.

[Ypipable]

Thoroughly implanted into my sub-conscience.

[dynagravitomagnetic]

reminiscent of "planeta burr" - a soviet film (planet of storms) which had been cut and re edited with new scenes added in. re-named "voyage to a prehistoric planet" then re-cut and american star mamie van doren added in the last five seconds of the movie, re-named "voyage to the planet of prehistoric women".

Here in DC we saw it on Ranger Hal (channel 9) back around 1960-61. Would never have remembered the name (thanks Wikipedia). Thanks for bringing these back.

The first saturday morning cartoon was Filmation's The NEW Adventures of Superman

[trayguy]

I don't remember this show. But, sure would like the dvds if it evercomes out.

[rangeclerk]

Not this is Excellent cartooning comparded to the Japanese crap people in the US have been watching. The US sure has gone down the tubes in cartooning, storytelling and other related art!

[Khultan]

@rangeclerk I'm with you on that, Rangerclerk, though I'm not of this generation this program was made.

[rangeclerk]

@Khultan Actually this is the first time I ever saw this one. I remember the "cartooning" coming from Japan at the time and thought what crap! Then American cartooning started taking a nosedive (101 Dalmations) the backdrop just pen and ink stick flat buidings in the background . Johnny Quest was good but American Cartooning has sure gone to crap. Almost back to that 1930s junk. Am 59.

[Khultan]

@rangeclerk Those 1930s animators have skills, anyway, I do agree maybe due to the notorious cost cutting of animation companies that the art of animation in America certainly moved towards a trend where it looks HORRIBLE, beginning in the 1960s, I believe onward.

[KillazInc79]

My sister and i were on this show and well i would love to get my hands on that episode. We were living in Oakland and my parents thought it would be fun to be on it and we did go. Anyone out there know how to find these episodes??

[gphw]

I remember this TV show,I was 1st grade-6 yrs old and loved it!!!!! would love to have the DVD when it comes out. It came on real early in the Am before school......about 1959? in Penna.

[pancakeman22]

Very old, but cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[havefaith1]

I remember this! It was a cartoon that encouraged me to lay outside in the summer and look at the stars. I even remembered the kids voice - that's a blast from the past for this Chicago gal raised on Garfield Goose on WGN.

[55squaredancer]

I remember seeing this in L.A. on KTLA channel 5 in 1960. I would love to have a copy of the DVD when it comes out.

[mjtgough]

Wow. I remember seeing this on the Captain Satellite Show in the Bay Area. The animation was eerily fluid--like it was rotoscoped or something. There was never anything else like it. At least not in this country.

[inventorr77]

I just watched a private "screening copy" of the new DVD that is scheduled to be released as soon as it is ready for final production.

[gphw]

Please let us know when &where we can purchase?possibly Amazon? Thanks :)

[terentii]

Amazing! I was thinking the animation looks just like those old classic fairy tales that were produced at Gorky Studios, Moscow, during the 1950s ... and shown in the States as "Grimm's Fairy Tales" (on, among other such programs, "Garfield Goose" on WGN)!

[BigBishop1]

had a vacuum cleaner like that rocket

[adoggperson]

I remember this on CH 6 Philly and The Sally Starr Show.

[ebf1957]

Used to been shown on "Garfield Goose" on WGN.

[geofbrit59]

Yeah! on CH. 6 Philly.

[PatchworkDream]

I remember watching this on the Major Mudd show( I'll be blasting you!)

I remember watching this and then Roger Ramjjet-

Thanks so much for this trip down memory Lane!

[tonywallacess45]

I loved the Major Mudd Show.

[ISleepNow]

That's commie animation that they're pilfering. It's from 'Flight to the Moon' 1953

Did these chumps use the parade in Red Square scene from the ending too?

[MacrossSD]

You wanna be REALLY mind-bending? the animation came from Communist propaganda, the spaceship models came from a NAZI film from 1937 -- Weltraumschiffe 1 Startet...

[satweavers]

Wow! I never heard of this. Thanks for posting. Gotta see more!

[vk2uvp]

Oh! Thank you for posting this. This cartoon had such an effect on me as a young child. I couldnt remember what it was called. But this is it. Amazing animation for its time. I love that ship.

Please is there any more?
