Skeleton Warriors - Opening

[killiancoakley]

What in the name of all that is good has happened to cartoons... Think it's time to revisit the best of the 80' and 90's!

[696Ghost696]

Old and EPIC!!!

[mxshinn]

it was one of the best series made... but as usual us companies blew it...

[LoganDeckard]

Wow! This really is the true meaning of Christmas.

[bakaboy]

 The true meaning of Christmas!

[luvtehcomix]

19, never knew about this show, or at least never remembered. So, it's called Skeleton Warriors, but the skeletons are the bad guys? Am I getting that right?

Don't get me wrong though, this intro kicked ass, and I'd totally watch this show.

[megaman349]

this street sharks and biker mice from mars reminds me so much of my childhood. I love the 90's . i still have all the action figures from each show.

[armyofseveralPROD]

am i on acid?

[molosio1]

ITS FUCKING AWESOME

[ridcom]

skeletor would own those muthafuckers!

[Logodic]

WHY the fuck they call Skeletons warriors if they FIGHT against SKELETONS?

[Animate84]

@Logodic The skeletons are the warriors.

The heroes are the Legion of Light.

You know somethin's cool when the show's title is the villain.

[SolidMike84]

Dude, Tony Jay! :D

Loved him in Blood Omen and etc

Such a kickass voice

[Rebellion142]

SKELETON?

[bloodbathism]

DADADADADADAAAADADAAA SKELETON WARRIAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dvdfiend]

Just to let everyone know who likes this show it will be released on DVD on December 6th 2011!

[bravo075]

Not a single fuck was given...

[NucleaRaptor]

FOR THE LEGION OF LIGHT!

[PhsykoOmen]

i remeber this,i had some of the figures. awesome show.

[MikesMadMoney]

sigh. Tony Jay. No matter how little your role is, you always find a way to make awesome most of the time. I really miss you.

[theadamantineswine]

"what do boys like?"...

Skeletons

Motor cycles

Lasers

Best show ever.

[ProfessorJNature]

Warriors! Come out and plaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!

[TenebrarumVires]

That's FUCKING METAL.

[IAMWOUNDEDLEAF]

That's pretty metal.

[Elias110194]

and nowdays kids watch Ben 10.... what a waste XD

[Antichrist2000]

@Elias110194 I thought Ben 10 was actually a pretty good cartoon...And I was a kid during the time of shows like this so...

[ShootStyleZombie]

thumbs up if Two Best Friends Play brought you here

[EvtheNev]

@ShootStyleZombie I'm with ya! lol

[lifeiscrap103]

@ShootStyleZombie Fucking Dark Souls

[dragonrider6168]

Apart from the big talking 3D skull this looks rubbish.

[oOXlllXOo]

I hated it as a kid :D

[diamlierx]

i didnt like it 

[Palpatine280392]

I LOVED THIS AS A CHILD

[THEFRESHISHERE]

this used to show on cbbc

[TSR1989B]

Used to watch this in the very early 00's on CBBC

(also the last time it was ever Broadcast on Analog TV in GB).

Couldn't remember the name of this Series for toffee, but did recall the Name "Baron Dark", and found it in less than a minute.

Great to see it again, a shame Series 1 was quite short, & no Series 2 was ever made.

All i can say is... Great to see this again

[X3MCTZN]

I MISS THE ELDER GOD :( :( !!! TONY JAY !!!

[TheTreWay83]

This show was the SHIT and the tyoys were amazing as well!!

[Zarazazaza]

This was awesome!

[ACarlosA]

whoa whoa whoa

is this the one where the zombie can teleport using shadows?

THAT WAS THE COOLEST SUPERPOWER EVER!

I remember watching this in spanish here in Mexico, but I never knew what it was called!

[unluckypunk]

what a massive cup of fail

[KrazyKrzysztof]

Oh shit I faintly remember this from my childhood along with those two cats cool kats or krazykats whatever they were!

[Undkor]

You just know Tim Burton would have a fucking field day with this property! XD

[slimsanta]

they dont make cartoons like this anymore

[deserttiger22]

@slimsanta this is nostalgia this is, i havent seen cartoons of this quality since i left elemtary school.

[tzweck]

this was the LAST of the great cartoons, I dont remember anymore that held such a level of awesomeness 

[Ksawarrior]

Dear Grimskull, you are awesome, keep on teleporting through people's shadows, signed the children of the 90's.

[chrisliam2]

they dont make cartoons like this anymore such a shame

[Tabbimura]

Soooo...The skeleton warriors are good or bad guys? My morality hurts...

[benutzer29915022]

FAIL Iron Maid cartoon : (

[IceFactor52]

This is so incredibly 90's, and for that reason, amazing.

[Ducaz012]

this killed the 80's cartoon genre

[thzard]

Its hard to figure out who the good guys are in this cartoon just from watching the intro. I'm not sure whether to root for the skeletons, or the warriors!

[Zakading]

i have to admit...this is probably the only 90's cartoon i can't remember in any way o_O

[Sparfregundo]

I had grimskull figure

[klmattydub]

@Sparfregundo i remember the figures for this being really awesome and detailed

[danielrtaekwondo]

Skeleton Warriors or IRON MAIDEN

[NeptuneNetwork]

I Have an action figure of one of these things!!!

It has a skeleton horse!

[AkiraTakahara]

Aw, at first I thought the skeletons were the goodguys and I was like "WHOA MAN! Hardcore!" And then I got disappoint D:

Also, I think that Narrator has lived forever.

[fslayer1290]

I TOTALLY forgot about this show but I remembered the song ending with

" They're bad to the bone!"

[gunodron]

Бля, я под столом)))

[billybones627]

What year did this show air?

[Duvmasta]

I HEART TONY JAY

[lashes231]

this effing rock's totally for got about them... but when it started playing it all just came rushing back to me... SKELETON WORRIERS.. WHOOOO :-) love it...

[Mega01ism]

This show had some pretty good quality toys too, check out the Skeleton figures.

[MrNightwing666]

I MISS ALL THIS EPIC CARTOONS

[3ZPaNH0L]

I miss you 90's

[TheXand19]

Man I wish that the skeleton warriors from Oblivion were this awesome :(

[deuone]

SUPER FIGHTING RO... eh i mean, SKELETON WARRIORS!

[um09dndam]

back then, they can make villain looking characters into world class heroes!

[SuperZalex]

what the hell?

[TaoriUTS]

man i really start to wonder wether there actually was a series i didn't watch when i was a child :/

[strangledbyakitten57]

sick riff

[pyro43261]

Ah, the 90's. An era where they made cartoons of out any old thing...and somehow it was still so good.

[danish211]

this show rock's.

[Karralmer]

I LOOVVVEEDD Grimskull. Hum, why do I always go for the back ups cast, not the main? I was only ever interested in episodes featuring HIM. Like FF VII I loved Vincent, Yu Yu Hakusho-Kurama and so on....Oh well.

[Matthew041396]

lol they're soooo cliche xD

I like how they're a total rip off of drybones too...

[drstrangeman]

damn i remember this cartoon.

[Aloverssoulz]

I never found this show good as a kid, but I did find it scary XD I remember I had a nightmares about it one day when I was like 4.

[marktwist]

i miss this age of when cartoons looked like comics...

[sethmanrockandroll]

Very crisp animation.

[camaxtle]

nice philosophy.....but they are skeleton warriors,fighting skeletons :s

[equineforecaster]

Where's LA Park when you need him?

[MrBuch169169]

God-damn! I was born too early, or too late, or in the wrong country or something. If I'd known there was a cartoon where the principal lyric in the theme was 'Skeleton Warriors' I would have watched the shit out of it.

[uhltron]

@MrBuch169169 Ya it was short lived, don't remember a single story line. Kinda like Jayce and the wheeled warriors. The internet says it existed but i never saw it.

[Taud]

@MrBuch169169 I had the toys man, it was epic

[MrBuch169169]

@Taud Man, all I had was Optimus Prime and a few He-Man guys. xD

[thuzan117]

@MrBuch169169 i don't know, the skeleton warriors are bad guys so thats makes this suck, it would be so goddam cool to have a skeleton army on the side of good!!

[HandsomeDynamite]

Holy fucking shit, how'd I miss this one?

[nariman7959]

my favourite when i was teenager

[redlukes]

Tony Jay FTW!!!!!!!!!

[redvillain6]

OMG, to anyone who plays WoW (World of Warcraft) That's the voice of King Terenas Menethil :P

[Amazerfulify]

OH so that's how the universe was created, by a giant golden skull with a deep low voice and just exploded.... wow, that was Simple! :-D

[Crystalwolf78]

omg i used to love this show had a little crush on Grim Skull XD

[OverSideFighter]

I grew up on this!

[butcherfest]

They should make a TV channel which shows epic programs from the 90s like this

[FDeeJay]

@butcherfest The channel should call "Epic Boomerang"!

[Shemesis]

@butcherfest That would make me so happy. I miss this show so dam much along with cadillacs and dinosaurs, Street Sharks, and the other obvious ones like doug, angry beavers and hey arnold!

[gwahler85]

Probably the last good cartoon in history

[ZOGMACHINE88]

best fuckin toys ever. the action figures looked like spawn action figures...sorta.

[Stormgrip]

R.I.P. Tony Jay. You will be missed.

(Who will play the Elder God whenever a new LOK game is made?)

[foxcell]

OLD SKOOL COOL! :-D

[superchief86]

I've still got my Dagger and Aracula action figures. They're bad to the bone!

[vanishy0urself]

Reminds me of the Mega Man theme, but more awesome.

[MTS111]

loved this cartooon

[jaypeterman2100]

I like the part where he says "Skeleton Warriors"

[BeatnikGunso]

this looks like am 80s metal fan wet dream

[a6s3]

@BeatnikGunso

Believe me it was.

[ToyGuruMan]

R.I.P. Tony Jay you were the man

[SawThatComingAgain]

@ToyGuruMan No kidding. Megabyte FTW!

[Duvmasta]

@ToyGuruMan amen!

[MacDragard]

This looks like X-Men

[Wopenka]

@MacDragard more like biker mice from mars than xmen

[LightsMusicLover]

I'll be asking my fav singer LIGHTS if she's ever heard of this show (she really loves cartoons) thru twitter soon. Totally stoked to see them again!

[LightsMusicLover]

I remember watching these episodes yrs ago-I can't wait 'till it's released on DVD here in Canada! (When might that be????)  I'll be mentioning this to my fav. artist LIGHTS (thru Twitter soon). She loves cartoons. Wonder if she;s heard of it?

[lunatiksAlterEgo]

damn i used to watch alot of cartoons back in the day

[Mugthraka]

Ive still have the Legion Skull Cycle and the Skeleton with 6 arms!!

Those are really detailed and wonderfull toys for those who don't like colorfull and childish action figures

Shame the show and the toy line got canceled after a year,because the theme of the line was too dark and mature for kids...

At the same time there was power rangers...if i could switch Power ranger for Skeleton Warriors i would gladly do it any time...

[CsBTransition]

@Mugthraka Slightly off: The show and toy line got canceled because they sold like crap.

[Kingnothing8585]

I remember there being a super skinny kid in our classroom, and about 2 Weeks after this show came up- that was his new name...good times.

[theframe100]

i like the song......'

it made me laugh.

[SamuraiLloyd]

I don't think i saw this at all but man it looks amazing.

[LordPowBoosh]

@Pandamar By crappy I assume you mean amazing. Did you not hear the bit about Guardian? He shouts!

[AntiBrock]

I LOVED this cartoon I even owned almost all of the figures. I was addicted to them and always aimed to find specific ones xD I remember Grimskull was one of the rare ones and searched in every kmart and toys r us but had no luck, then one day I randomly found him at a Walgreens xD oh man how I miss this >< Could never find Dr. Cyborn, he was my favorite of the skeletons

[gothdoll101]

I miss Skeleton Warrios, Swat Kats, Mummies Alive, (Mighty Morphin) Power Rangers, (The original) Pokemon, Gargoyles and Avenger penguins. Now everything on kids tv is just crap, like Hannah Montana, Jonas, Sonny with a chance, etc. i mean like...what the hell?

[fucklois]

EPIC

[roaklin]

The narrator skull sounds like megabyte from the old reboot series.

[Innovator8]

@roaklin According to Wikipedia, Tony Jay was also the voice actor for Megabyte.

[Kibate]

wow, this must have been a pain to draw, drawing skeletons is not really easy(on the other hand its actually very very annoying)

[FUELtheMULE]

I didn't even know I remembered this, but apparently I do!

[Zarazazaza]

FOR THE LEGION OF LIGHT!

[DragonNexus]

Guide to making a modern cartoon

1) Make generic teen hero

2) Anime the hell out of him

3) COMPUTER EFFECTS

4) ???????

5) PROFIT.

[mhrfg]

@DragonNexus

4) Badass generic rock music

[TSEpictures]

@DragonNexus You can get profit from crap that probably wont make it past six months?

[DragonNexus]

@TSEpictures

Which I suppose is all that matters...

If you can make 15 minutes effort on mediocrity and make a profit, why put in an hours work for greatness?

[Erectoralporicy]

@DragonNexus

I'd retort with:

Module for making a 90s' Cartoon

1) Make a team of humanoid or completely human heroes

2) Pit them against a seemingly unstoppable force

3) Involve swords, lasers, and anything perceived as super-cool

4) Make a generic rock-inspired intro that basically says everything you need to know in about a minute or less.

5) profit.

6) repeat with new angle once you get cancelled.

[AetherSingularity]

@Erectoralporicy

That still sounds pretty good.

[Erectoralporicy]

@AetherSingularity

lmao.. yeah alright agreed, but looking back I can't help but feel that most were the same old rehash.

[Ulicus]

@Erectoralporicy

You are absolutely correct. And, yet, even knowing how formulaic these shows were... I love them. I love them all.

[Erectoralporicy]

@Ulicus

They were pretty bad-ass, sure. I can definitely agree.. But I have to ask: if you were to weigh one against, say.. The Adventures of Tintin? I mean, in my opinion at least: the greatest cartoon ever - even though they were based on the comics, still a completely original series, with amazing animation. To me I just guess some of the nostalgia is lost when I look back and realise almost every single cartoon I loved was a reiteration. Gargoyles was awesome too.. Amazing story-arcs.

[MrTrollBurton]

@DragonNexus dude this was made YEARS AGO!!

[jessierocket]

@DragonNexus totally agree, im studying animation and all the new stuff is so generic, not a patch on the old stuff i used to watch as a kid



[soapyshoes]

@DragonNexus Step 4 is Merchandise MERCHANDISE MERCHANDIIIIIISE!!!

[DragonNexus]

@soapyshoes

When you think about it, that tends to be stage 0 in the 80s and 90s. You make the product, wonder how the hell you can make it sell, then someone remembers Transformers and realises you just gotta make a cartoon series showing how awesome the characters are and kids will buy them in droves.

[RangerOfOz]

@DragonNexus Guide to making cartoons in the 80s and 90s.

1) Drop acid

2) Write the first thing you see

3) Become liquid awesome.

[voldovsfaust]

@RangerOfOz STEP 4: Phonecall to DIO and ask him if he like it.

[Dewani90]

@RangerOfOz cartoon makers this days should learn about the acid trip, makes you get better ideas than the ones you have being sobber or not stoned (altough i'm sure "cow and chicken" and "spongebob" where made by a drunk hobo)

[NICKREAPER316]

@DragonNexus I really haven't seen too many successful animes that recently. It's more about cartoons that look like they were drawn by eight year olds but the writing is good enough that you don't care.

[DragonNexus]

Aww...poor Tony Jay.

He filled my childhood with awesome voice work.

[allbeastveteran]

@Pandamar which is faaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­r better than the shovelware cartoons of nowadays.

[Jkun]

Awesome cheesy-ness xD

~Jkun~

[sirnippip]

the 90s where silly, but EXTREME!!!!

[MyHeadAsplodes]

LOL now that I look back at it from the perspective of someone who has never heard about that show it's as if it's a neverending fest of nonsense and violence you don't know who's good or evil it's just a bunch of ugly undead guys shooting lasers with lightning in the background.

[Taud]

@MyHeadAsplodes It was available to me through a friend of mine on his satellite tv which was a big deal 18 years ago....hahah wow i feel old saying that... but yeah otherwise most ppl never got to see it

[LTcottam]

this cartoon is epic!!!

[SomaAkaruz]

WoW thats brings back them sunday mornings on channel 4 )

loved this show.

[zero1796]

I found two toys and spent tow hours looking and i finally found this. holey crap

[PanterAmetal100]

90's RULES !

[VolaticusDiabolus]

Man, my childhood kicked ass!

Too bad it's over.

[Crystalwolf78]

wow i totally forgot aobut these guys till now XD

[2ndCthulhu]

... I NEVER GOT TO WATCH THIS SHOW WHEN I WAS A CHILD!!! I feel so fooled :(

[theburntshadow]

The narrator skeleton's voice is awfully familiar.

[Kitarl]

@theburntshadow

Mr Tony Jay.

[sonic8005]

@theburntshadow Because you may have recognized him fas Megabyte from Reboot, he's done several voices but that's the voice he did that I recognize off the top of my head.

[StateQuoable]

This shits metal.

[Eatenbywormz88]

Other easy ways to get kids to watch cartoons back then always show the action in the intro and bad ass villians and heroes with awsome yet cheesy names....I was crushed when this cartoon got cancelled

[Thearcangel979]

@Pandamar No truer words were ever spoken

[DJXeroBeat]

@Pandamar LMFAO. I just watched another one and was thinking of another one and this is perfect.

[douchebagcrew9]

I got all the toys wen they came out but I never saw the show. Actually I didnt evn kno there was a show until jus now

[superchief86]

Lightstar's got himself some damn pointy nipples there.

[MasterNerdMan]

i had toys from this cartoon XD i miss it too :) awesome intro

[GreenDragonFilms]

Reminds me of the DOOM box art at 0:40

[Atripple]

@GreenDragonFilms rofl I see what you mean

[MegaSilentman]

BRING BACK THE CARTOONS

[UndeadSouls89]

Damn they should go back to making action cartoons like this! Not the retarded stuff you see nowadays... I agree the 90's was the best time to be a kid!! :)

[twist109]

This show was Awsome!

They jus dont make TV shows like this anymore.

[GamingTeacher]

@Pandamar Just imagine if the X-Men theme was writt...

...oh right, the 1989 pilot: "Pryde of the X-Men." Nevermind.

[Ksawarrior]

Ah, I used to love this show. Grimskull, you were made of pure angsty awesome!

fucking  awesome
