Cheapo Cartoon Man - a Hannah Barbarian animation

[Algahiem]

LOL! And people say animation was better back in the "good old days."

{2:20}"which just so happens to be one floor up and has a missing wall,so those of us down on the street can see..."

I have uploaded the whole of this episode of End of Part One in high quality. Do a search for "End of Part One - Episode 13" including quotes, or look at my channel.

If you gotta parody Hanna-Barbera, you HAVE to add the classic repeating-background effect! (as demonstrated near the end)

[PunkyBear36]

Toth/Takamoto era Hanna Barbera cartoons need more shots like this! This is pretty good.

[metalwarriorMCMXCIII]

LOL this is awesome and a great parody to those awful cartoons from the 1970s.

[BurnRoddy]

I don't think 90s was just art school revolution, writing was also like never seen before, Aeon Flux and Spawn were amzaing in every detail.

But Its because of cartoons like Batman that started out great (even though I hated the square looks on them) that they let censorship got its way in cartoons so now we got completely predictable Kappa Mikey and Ben 10 squareheads instead of deep Pirates of Dark the Waters or active and dark WildC.A.T.S.

[BurnRoddy]

Bisides have you seen Invasion America that animation and story was to me at least fairly the best I've ever seen and now its history and we have Skunk Fu and Yin Yang Yo and other shit that doesn't qualify as watchable.

[craftruth2009]

Right you are you hit it right on the naiil the American Animation scene was a disgrace from 1966 to 1987 Hanna Barbera Filmation and later Ruby Spears (H-B minions) just sat on their asses making crapimation without effort and made mad money off of it .we can thank Michael Eisner and his guys at The Mouse House Matt Groening Klasky- Csuspo,, John Kriscfalusi, Ralph Baskhi,Tom Ruegger and some wise exexuttives at Warner Bros, among others to get animation back in a repectable light

[happyfa5]

Could this be done for Saturday Night Live?

[filmnet]

@happyfa5 , this is from the London Weekend Television sketch series "End of Part One".

[craftruth2009]

Hanna-Barbarian Indeed!

Bad Animation!

should be thrown out with yesterdays trash!

Leave it to my British Brothers and sisters

to tell the TRUTH! All of the 80s fanboys and fangirls need to look at this video and maybe they'll realize how horrible the cartoons of this era were.

[doubledeckers]

Compare Hanna Barbara's TV cartoons to their Tom and Jerry's made at MGM and you'll see it has been downhill all the way to the present day. At least the 1960's Top Cat's and Scooby Doo's had some decent humour to them :)

[craftruth2009]

and after Top Cat ended it was shitter all the way down until 1987 when Disney revived itself full force and John K and Ralph Baskhi came on the scene with the All new Mighty mouse and of course Matt Groening's Simpsons came on the scene as a segment of the Tracy Ullman Show in 1987. it was THEN that US Animation on the large scale began to really get its stuff together

[craftruth2009]

If you're talking about stuff like todays anime which has become borderline pornography as of the past 3 years I agree with you American and western cartoons however are not that bad today, not as bad as the shit that Hanna Barbera and Company put out back in the day

[AKImeru]

@1aundulxaldin Your nostalgia googles. Remove them.

[BurnRoddy]

You're kidding right you can't compare this to thundercats, animations of Today suck ass, they all look square and less smoth than a brickwall.

[craftruth2009]

Thundercrap sucked major ass.

[BurnRoddy]

NO U

[disneyrangerblue02]

That is soooo... jank!

[SteveCarras]

Hanna-BARBARIAN [note capitals!] is APPROPRIATE of a NAME!!

[craftruth2009]

DAMN RIGHT. they were for most of its exhistence the ASS end of the animation industry.

[SteveCarras]

LOL The seventies and eighties reallly took the sixties innocence and chepaened it.Nice use of stock Hanna-Barberian superhero sound effects,too.

[jgbennie]

The drawing style reminds me more of Rocket Robin Hood than Hanna-Barbera.

[TheCheezWizz]

Rocket Robin Hood was made by Krantz Films. Anyway, you'd be wrong. What Rocket Robin Hood does best is reuse scenes over and over and over and over. And fighting scenes are almost as static as .... well, they ARE as static as every other scene.

[izzyworld]

ah yes -thanks I thought the 'End Of Part One' referred to it being part one of the clip --DOH!

is that the whole clip? It seems to fade away

[doubledeckers]

:) yeah that is definitely the whole thing. It continues into a spoof of a 1970's Barry Norman show called The Hollywood Greats. The name and main title sequence of End of Part One was a spoof of 1970's Coronation Street and the caption that used to come up just before the ad break in that. Lots of the sketches in End of Part One ran into each other or were luinked in different ways.

[izzyworld]

Thank you so much for posting this! I've been searching for this clip for years -- was this originally from The Pink Medicine Show in the UK?

[doubledeckers]

No it's from End of Part One made by London Weekend Television.

[sooniwill5]

love the lamps

[swedishdiktator]

awesome very funny

[Gremrat]

Oh god, awesome XD

[mcphee1969]

premise is great but i think 'Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law' did it better.

[BebopTrotter]

That was hilarious! Hanna-Barbera did great animation with Top Cat, The Flinstones, Yogi Bear etc. but when it came to 'serious' stuff, the stylish setting just would not work.

[PunkyBear36]

@BebopTrotter Ed Benedict was a better designer than Alex Toth, where low budget cartoons are concerned.

[arachnidkid13]

wow! that is just like what hannah barbara would put out it's cheaply animated just like all those other old cartoons even scooby doo when it first came out was cheaply done now days it's not that fun to watch cuz the cheap ones were funny cuz they were so cheap

[cubbi1977]

Ha, funny shit!

[stimpy532000]

Cheaply funny! 4\5

[tokiodizneeland1]

Reminds me of "Badly Animated Man" from "Raw Toonage".

[ProductionX]

This made my day, having to grow up back when this was HELL for most of us American Gen-X'ers to bare.

[PerkinsSimpkins]

I'm British and I had to put up with the same crap, so don't feel so alone!

[ProductionX]

Thanks. I was thinking more of how it affected us domestically in the states since that was what we had to had most of as opposed to efforts from other places like Europe or Japan (where the best stuff came from, at least they know where to go with their stories).

[craftruth2009]

We feel you man!

[1aundulxaldin]

@craftruth2009

Either way, I never said that ALL animation today sucks. There are actually a number of shows that I like that have a very unique style of animation. But I what I want, what I hope to find, is a way to bring "Cheap" animation back to the screen, and give it a whole new meaning.
