LONE RANGER INTRO

[veradinx]

You can always tell Lou Schemer/Filmation animation. They loved rotoscoping over real actors, which is why they were so cheap when it came to repeating animations. The Star Trek animated series and He-Man used the same process, and you can tell by the signature character look at screen and turn away where they re-used the same actor footage for multiple characters as well as the run animations, etc.

sounds like phil hartman to me

[Scarletspeedster68]

@panhead58ful Nope, that was William Conrad (Cannon) as the Lone Ranger.

[panhead58ful]

well good, im glad you watched the cartoon as a kid,,i watched the tv series and also listened to it on the RADIO with my grampa , course i was only like 2 or 3

[ShinKyuubi]

Jeez...I thought I was the only one who remembered this was even a cartoon. Glad to see I'm not otherwise I'd feel pretty dumb and think my memory was playing tricks on me. Though admitadly..it's and old cartoon.

[prospectus91]

Who cares what "Tonto" means? If one follows the conceit of logic and reason, the Lone Ranger didn't name Tonto, Tonto's parents did!

[ShakinJonny]

Isn´t that the voice of mr. Lorne Greene (Ben Cartwright), in the beginning?

[GaWrestlingHistory]

@ShakinJonny

Sounds like William Conrad (a/k/a Cannon).

[castorenka]

[lukewolf88]

[richintalent]

Voiced, oddly enough, by William Conrad, who provided the voice of Matt Dillon in the radio adaptation of 'Gunsmoke'

[MegaBlackViolet]

Awesome! I remember this one--it was just as good as then one from the 60's. And William Conrad as the Lone Ranger--could it get much better?

[Washu73]

he helped me refinance my house...

no wait a second that was

THE LOAN ARRANGER!

[Golddragon71]

I have them on DVD probably the best and most awaited purchase I ever made. an excellent series and a dag shame there were only about 14 eps in all they're still available if you do a little hunting.

[tigerchief]

but if he's so lone, why does he have tonto?

[pyrogyra72]

Is it just me, or did Tonto look like Jay Silverheels, (the guy who played Tonto in the live action tv version?)

[ZACKWELDERS]

who was that masked man

[82273ale]

@ZACKWELDERS the lone ranger dumbass

[ZACKWELDERS]

@82273ale i was just repeating a quote and not actually asking it .dumbass

[Lazyguy22]

Tonto, with the power of... SPIN!

[gypsydreamer09]

every time i hear this song i think of the breyer horse Silver! lol

[dndrequiem]

A favorite of my day. (weeps)

[tukyals5]

[MemphisTF]

Nostalgia :)

[thisis26]

Daumn I have to be the lone ranger in Drama :( I dont wanna dress like that.....I look at the legend of the lone ranger for a more...modern aproach.... XD

[colanderhead1971]

Thanks for sharing!

[hakkuhbijler]

0:01-0:05 kinde remids me of the old Superman cartoon intro's where you only see the silhouette :lol:

[ChristiRich]

Filmation just "got it" with their kids programming, hands down. Theirs are some of the cartoons and live action shows that I enjoy as much today on DVD as I did growing up; the magic is still there.

[Laceykat66]

Boy you said it.

How could Filmation get it so right, then the film industry got it so wrong in the 1980s with that live action garbage????

[TheLegendfamily]

I remember listening to William Conrad's opening narration back in the day. Check out the comic series from Dynamite if you're a LR fan.

[corrage61]

dreck damals und heute lieblos dahin gekritzelt .pisse

[Undrave]

He mounts his horse like She-Ra >.>

Masked Rider hehehehehe :D

[digital2500]

As nice a job as William Conrad did on this opening narration, it would have been nice to hear Fred Foy (who was the best of the radio narrators on the Lone Ranger) do the narration on this cartoon.

[Laceykat66]

So tell me. . .

Why did they get the cartoon correct, and the "movie" so darn wrong????????

[CosmicFunkOSMOSIS]

I wanna know (since I last saw this waaaaaaayyyyyy back) was did Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels reprise their roles for this version. I knew it was Filmation (came on right after SUPERMAN on CBS!!!), and the artwork was so 'op-art'.

[Scarletspeedster68]

Nope. Clayton Moore couldn't even wear his mask back then due to a lawsuit filed against him at the time (he did wear sunglasses for a while until he was allowed to wear the mask again until his death in 1999). Jay Silverheels died in 1980 so he didn't reprise his role as Tonto either.

[pipesmoker76]

omg!! it s been so long!! decades

[ReptileRanger719]

I love this show and still have some one tape. Believe it or not.
