I still wish I lived on Radion.

There's old school anime then there's classic. With me, modern anime 1958-1980 is classic while 1980-2000 is old school while 2000-present is modern era.

This was adapted from a 1965-'66 Japanese series, "YUSEI SHONEN PAPI", 'coney island'. American-International decided they wanted to make money by syndicating an imported "Japanimated" series in the U.S. {i.e. "ASTRO BOY", "GIGANTOR", "8TH MAN", et. al.}, bought the American rights to this series, and recorded new English soundtracks with a new theme...

Has this been officially released on DVD yet??? If so, where can I obtain it??? I grew up watching this series!! I even made my own Prince Planet pendant out of an old Maxwellhouse top (the red one with the star on it).

[coneyislanddiscomark]

Was this Japanese?

[fromthesidelines]

Originally released in syndication in September 1966.

This show was the balls! I could never remember the name of the cartoon or character. I had vague memories and never thought I'd fill the blanks in my memory. I was really young when this was on channel 38 or 56 in the Boston tv market. What a great find. I remembered he was from outer space and had a pendant that charged. My recall was that the pendant had an R not a P. I was wrong. I must;ve been 4 or 5 yrs old maybe younger.

IF A SPACESHIP FALLS, AND NO ONE HEARS IT, DOES IT MAKE A SOUND?

That opening theme song is some hardcore gangsta shit.

Incredible how technology opened a window to yesterday, by giving me access to music, video, people and information I thought lost forever. Little did I know that what I thought would remain a memory, would be available for me to view and experience once again, and there after...

It is time for all man to be as one, and to share the world in peace...

i was so little when i watched this show that I couldn't remember the right name for it. The only way i could describe it to people was to tell them it was a little boy from another planet who used to where a pendant that he would grab and say something like "prince power" - (i was little, what did i know). For years no one i asked could remember it. I'm surprised to find so many here who do. I cried when they took this show off the air. I couldn't understand why they would do such a thing!

[MADMAESTRO2]

I love prince planet

[limegreen1797]

When I was 6 years old, this show was my very favourite thing in the whole world!! :)

[Shoknifeman]

@limegreen1797 You and me both!!!

[Starbat88]

That opening song just made me laugh. XD

[tomcamp6023]

I have the entire series on DVD . Bought it on ebay a few years back. Love them.

[DeathStalker77x]

Pretty pathetic that they won't add in the missing eps or release the series on DVD. Gee anyone wonder why MGM has (and has had) SO much financial troubles?

[jamesappleridge]

they just don't write them like this anymore, i loved running home from elementary school just to watch prince planet!

[lltetrahedron]

Sweeeeet!  So many memories, running to the tube after kindergarten to watch this show, LOL!!!!

[gabrielss4u]

This cartoon i grew up with, It was my fav!

I even named my son Bobbie (Robert)

[Masmosaic1]

Man, oh, man! The memories this cartoon brings back! One of my favorites!

[DeathStalker77x]

No, I *know* they've been translated - I've seen them in other versions. But thanks for the other info - didn't know they had been re-mastered in Japan, at least that's *some* hope :)

[DeathStalker77x]

8 months now, and still missing the last 5 episodes :( Come on MGM finish things off for us! (Or at least release a DVD set!!!)

[openuniverse2003]

You can buy all 52 episodes (in Japanese only, sorry!) from Japan. They re-released all 52 episodes on DVD back in 2005, I think. As for the English-language translations shown in the United States, I think they either simply didn't translate the "Missing 5" or so, or they weren't translated because they were perceived as being "too violent" for U.S. kids back in the 1960s. Bit of trivia: when they stopped showing P.P. on TV, films were donated to firehouses for firefighters to watch.

[iamcylon12]

aaaaaaahhhhhhh! i wrote that

[DeathStalker77x]

Almost 4 months into the new years and the final 5 are still missing :(

Please have mercy on us geezers who grew up with the Prince! :)

[TheMichelleLeeWhite]

Nice way to revamp YouTube. Sparked!

[DeathStalker77x]

I hope you will be able to finish off the missing 5 episodes! I haven't seen this since I was a child :)

Are we ever going to see a nice DVD release of this (they way AstroBoy was done)?
