25 Years of Cartoon Intros (1980-2005) Part 1

[Guitarguyjr]

That samurai one looked retarded



[raynielbb]

6:57... ohh yeah... )))

[enserio8]

JEM....yes...

[DiGiRyuu]

Samurai Champloo was pretty random. XD

[omnipotentgoku]

To answer your question about justice league unlimited - Super girl is in every other shot because each opening had shots from that particular episode, and in that particular episode, she and Green arrow were the focal point hero's.

[Dragonfirecorp]

Transformers: never liked it dunno why...

Jem: Don't know it

Gargoyles: Childhood memories *.* loved that cartoon

X-Men: never liked it...

Samurai Champloo: Even though I really love animes and Samurais, this one never got my attention... Watched about 2 episodes and decided that is sucks(in my opinion)

G.I. Joe: Don't know it

Alvin and the Chipmunks: It's just funny :D

Batman: Just awesome... Even compared to today, the drawing style pwnes

Tiny Toons: FUN

Justice League: Too many ppl..

[adr13100]

Batman was the best thing on tv when i was a kid

[showlava]

"THE SPELL HAS BROKEN, AND WE LIVE AGAIN"……..lol...Good stuff thanks for posting

[SolidSnake2345]

why was Supergirl in every other shot of the JL Unlimited intro?

[RayKanen69]

@SolidSnake2345 Because she has boobs and was drawn with a REALLY mini skirt?

[LadiesMan0915]

three long years, and still no part 2... tsk tsk tsk...

[Ganzuseidon]

@LadiesMan0915 calm down loser its called they were removed due to copyrights

[LadiesMan0915]

@Ganzuseidon shut the hell up look who's talking loser? if they were removed, then why did they leave this vid alone?

[spdyeric]

@LadiesMan0915 make your own part 2

[StrawhatBrian]

Samurai Champloo... oh man this theme is terrific. Good video though. Love it.

[KeizerXilian]

I REALLY wish you did some work with the sound before putting this together. For the most part it's alright, but having X-Men blast insanely loud then having Samurai Champloo be damn near inaudible isn't exactly effective.

[Hellborndelux]

A quote from Jem in her appearance on Robot Chicken:

"You wanna know whats truly,TRULY outrageous? Chlamydiaaaaa"

[eidsta]

you forget about the cartoons until you hear the theme!!!!!!!!!!!! gargoylessssssssssss

[WillowR23]

I could watch the X-Men opening over and over again! If the movies had been as awesome as the cartoon was!!!

[behindthymask]

How to Make a 90s Theme Song.

Option A -

1. Repeat title's show over and over.

2. Guitar solo.

3. Seizure-inducing colors.

4. ????

5. PROFIT

Option B -

1. Keith David

[koji9495]

damn not only were the shows better than the shit on today. the music was a hundred times better too. "the best of both worlds" has absolutely nothing on the music composed for gargoyles

[Marctheman12]

Some of these commentary on the cartoons are fucken scary!

[aimi360]

They dont make cartoons like this anymore. WTF happend?? now what u see on tv its sex, teenage sluts and talking sponges! No wonder why kids today are so fucked up.

[LadiesMan0915]

@aimi360 wow, how old are you now, gramps?

[dudleyrome]

Man this takes me back to saturday morning multiple bowls of an extremly sugary cereal and a glazed over look on my face

[egnod]

Sure: Thundercats, Inhumanoids, TMNT(first season only), He-man, Tigersharks. Jayce and the wheeled warriors. Muppet babies, Count duckula, Captian N- the game master, The REAL Ghostbusters. Remember, some may be a bit dated now, but classics. That should give some things to watch. Now, my last point is to correct a mistake that I think you may want to change. You stated that "pretty much every show from the 90's were great cartoons". You saying Eek the cat, is better than what ive listed here?

[sexykakashi536]

i miss shinzo that was a pretty good show... but GARGOYLES ARE THE SHIT!!!

[BalladOfGales]

Justice League had a better theme before it became known as "Unlimited."

[Ishygog]

You know... some of these cartoons are still pretty good even when view as adults; some are downright moronic and really aren't any better than what is out today. Nostagia seriously clouds people's judgement...

[SergeantLuke]

@Ishygog I agree. With a few exceptions, the vast majority of '80s cartoons were crap.

[egnod]

@SergeantLuke Dude, if you think 80's cartoons were crap, then what do YOU consider great cartoons? Id like a few examples, so that we know you aren't in need of some help.

[SergeantLuke]

@egnod Not ALL '80s cartoons were bad. There were some good ones- Transformers, G.I. Joe, Robotech, Ducktales, and a few others- but the majority were merchandise-driven bilge. As for what I consider great cartoons, I'd have to say pretty much every one from the '90s.

[egnod]

@SergeantLuke Ok, 2 points: First, Gijoe, and transformers are probably the most merchandise driven of ANY cartoons EVER. I mean Hasbro killed off 99% of G1 transformers (including optimus prime) just so that they could launch a new line of transformer toys. Second point: unless you actually grew up with the great 80's shows, which are sorely unrepresented in this vid, then you really don't know what you are/were missing.

[SergeantLuke]

@egnod Transformers and GI Joe were indeed merchandise-driven, but they were also genuinely good shows (in my opinion, of course). And if you can name some other non-crap 80s shows, I'd be happy to change my mind.

[minispyder]

Well, at least JLU was a modern toon redeemer after that samurai crap one from earlier in the video..

[KolLeRiCuZ]

transformers G1 FTW! ! ! ! ! though i grew up with beast wars and transformers armada

[JaguarHolocaust]

when i have kids they will be forbidden to watch cartoons of the future, screw that..... VHS ALL THE WAY!!!!!

[KongOpusMagnum]

they really should make a GARGOYLES FILM. this film would be the number 1 summer hit. so fucking epic

[scampcat16]

@KongOpusMagnum gargoyles is still on Disney XD

[KongOpusMagnum]

@scampcat16 not here in germany

[johnny4tuner]

never knew how awesome the JLU intro was

[jgrimm50]

samurai champloo best anime ever 

[CeresBimbo]

Getting everything from the 90s on DVD for my kids. Cartoons these days blow.

[Tekirai]

@CeresBimbo u r doing a GOOD thing ALL parents should learn from u!! *i plan on doing the same no way in high heaven r my kids going to watch garbage*

[FREAKFANATIC]

I agree, after 2005 or 2006 when they cancel Teen Titans and Justice League Unlimited its when I started to loose interest in cartoons these days. The only thing that kept me interested was watching the last episodes of TMNT and Avatar the last airbender.

[Chibixnation]

Tiny Toons.<3

[NeroXIII]

Samurai Champloo yeah!

[laurence265]

2:23 now that is an epic show

[tranformerssasuke743]

justice league the only reason guyswatch it is for wonder woman

[tranformerssasuke743]

jem is barbie

[markVIIchick]

@tranformerssasuke743

Lol I remember when Jem came out, Barbie made a spin off called "Barbie and the Rockers" =P

[dingambitding]

lov dat samurai thang!

[BARCAFANX10]

FUCK FOX

[MoonspiderHugs]

2,3,4 and 5 cant be seen :(

[TheMKmaster7]

Transformer is on the HUB and now transformers prime

[thebestyugiohcards1]

parts 2 3 4 and 5 can not be seen

[faerie16]

gargoyles <3<3<3

[zombieaids89]

Wow, I never realized how long of a run Alvin and the Chipmunks had, 1983-1991!

[kaptainkaboom]

man this is bs, i cant watch them all!!!!

[allnet20]

sigh* such fond memories...when cartoon violence was...well violent o.o and also when alot of cartoons were more american animation then anything eles. 

[sergeant8041]

@allnet20 i prefer anime mainly because of the detail the put into it.

[TheMUFFINATOR1000]

today's cartoons suck compared to these

[plokoon100]

Crap. Tiny Toons. Totally remember that. SO LONG AGO. 13 years. SHEESH.

[potatomash3r]

Part 2-6 are blocked by fox . . . .

[DUB7L33T]

Which isn't to say I didn't like the little baby shows either. The chipmunks and Tazmania ruled.

[DUB7L33T]

I think the reason some of these cartoon shows were so awesome was for the simple fact that they did present more mature themes along with the cartoon aspect (Anime tho has always been good tho). The shows now a days forget that kids can understand mature concepts, not just baby crap.

[JankyToe]

I am glad to have lived my younger years through the 90's. These bring back many fond memories.

[REDTEROR]

i notice all the other part have been clock off i am sad now.

[seekmeout1]

where is the Spider Man openin of the 90s ?

that was soo awesome n that cartoon rocks

[adamdf1]

Anyone remember back around 2000 when FOX aired a show that was very much resembling a mix of ( Star Craft and Star Ship Troopers) and it was a motion picture. please anyone that remembers the name of if please tell me.

[guitarcortex3kkshsdj]

Many people say that the 90's and the 80's were the years where cartoons were awesome and fun, then when the year 2000 came, cartoons went downhill from there and everything started to get sour and rotten. I agree that older cartoons were way better than today's cartoons, but there were SOME good shows out there in the earlys 2000's, like for example The Weekenders and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003). But to be honest, It's sadly true, most of the good cartoons are long gone by now.

[DSCMoo]

@guitarcortex3kkshsdj I'm not trying to rip anything on you, but in personal opinion, the old school Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was way better...

[Margui622]

OtakuDeju: I didn't know that. But the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the original series have another opening starting in 1994 through the final season in 1996.

[TheSecretdahlia]

CHIPMUNKS! hell yes!

[Mrandom101]

fuck the new cartoons there are BS they should make a dedicated post with all classic cartoons

[tokinblckgie]

Cool video. Gargoyles was a pretty epic cartoon.

[InuyashaKagomae4ever]

Ah Gargoyles brought back so many memories just now...

[FFManiac17]

Garrgoils was BAD...ASS!!!!!

[neclord87]

@FFManiac17 whats it about:P 

[MiChEalTHemaInMan]

@FFManiac17 I wish i could TRIPLE like what you said!!!! I watch that show everyday

[agallo17]

stone by day

wariors by night

[OtakuDeju]

You know near the end of the The X Men there was an alternative opening scene?

[Carcavac]

I have to say this is the best bayman theme ever

[LieutenantSparkles]

i used to try and defend cartoons of the now... but they definetely aren't as good. Hopefully this is just a slump

[TheAchemuth]

someone know where i can watch or even maybe download kaleido star ?

[pille2407]

I would love to see Batman: TAS again, that was a hell of a cartoon series !! And of course the Transformers, my childhood heroes !!!

[trongkhiem96]

i like justice league

[BethanyBmobarted]

I've watched Samurai JACK but never Samurai CHAMPLOO

[BethanyBmobarted]

GARGOYLES!

[r4ndomH3R0]

Fred Penner, Sharon, Lois & Bram, Mr. Dress-up some that I lovvved watching as a kid. Ohya I seen Gargoyles. Had to download the first three season. Oh and What about Biker Mice From Mars :D Loved that one. Cartoons were so much better when I was a kid.

[AFMountaineer2000]

I know you didn't put these in any type of order but great job putting X-men in the first group, they were always and still my favorite superhero team.

[Motokitty1]

who here remember CAPTAIN PLANET!!! and JEM!gargoyles freaking rock!!!! and X-men!!! alvin and the chipmunks!! oh lord this brings back memories, good job dude!! these vids of yours made me happy ^W^

[Motokitty1]

who here remember CAPTAIN PLANET!!!

[lagoondiver]

The internet and Youtube give me the chance to watch all those cartoon series again I loved so much as a kid. And I like to watch video's like these, they give me the chance to discover some new stuff too. I never heard of that Gargoyles serie but it really looks like my kind of thing. If I knew it when I was a kid I would've definitely been a fan ^^

[braceyfaceanimegurl]

OMG I'm so glad someone put Gargoyles up here I loved this so much as a kid and no one else seems to remember it and it had so many awesome voices (Keith David, Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirits, Michael Dorn Kate Mulgrew), okay so I might think they're great because most of them are in Star Trek XD but meh it was an awesome series

[Goramann]

I never got such strong goosebumps...

Man i want to be young again, this was the time where the world was ok. Going home after school turning on TV and watching this awesome cartoons, no ensures about marks and the future.

I am 17 now and i have to say: Goddamn i miss the old times. this is kinda sad

[iSonGoten]

Anime is actually Japanese for cartoons so it isn't really another genre.

[newoldtwilight]

@iSonGoten Actually, the category "cartoon" goes for stuff like the Tiny Toons, these have their own name in Japanese: kodomo, so stuff officially for up to ~12-year-olds. It's common to think cartoons="anything animated", but then shopped "A Scanner Darkly" is a cartoon, too- but that's a drama.

Animes airing outside Japan are usually for teens and above and shouldn't be introduced as kid's stuff. This category is an "art" form, and genres like romance or sci-fi are just diverging from it.

[InquisitiveKeita]

Samurai Champloo does NOT belong here. It is an "anime". Not considered a cartoon. The genres are two completely different things. -___-

[trickstaone]

wow my wife doesn't even remember Jem, I remember her action figure (doll) was way bigger then any one out there at the time, he-man should have been with GI Joe, and hope the smurfs are on part 2

[Tengu909]

why is samurai champloo intro in the old school part?

[adamdf1]

anyone remember back around 2000 when FOX air a show that was so much to resemble a mix of ( Star Craft and Star Ship Troopers). please anyone that remembers the name of if please tell me

[deadmanxJ]

@adamdf1 do u mean max steel? where it almost looks just like starship troopers

[ronbond2]

@adamdf1 i think you mean captain power 

[lawinorder101]

Who the hell would actually watch Samurai Shampoo? No one... I dislike that it was even considered to be put in this good compilation!

[Azmare11]

@lawinorder101

*Samurai Champloo.

Alot of people would watch it actually, if you know what 'good' even is.

It's rare that there's even an anime so different in regards to it's visuals and sound.

If you don't like it that's understandable, but anyone can appreciate the creativity for what it's worth.

[WTFixation]

Dude all the props in the world for combining gargoyles, xmen, and SAMURAI CHAMPLOO!!!!

[superface12345]

Gargoyles!!!!!

[Frankenstrat247]

I gotta say, Justice League Unlimited=pretty awesome

[Reborn8303]

Jem is truly outrageous !

[shatteredsun]

what show on cbs was it where 3 sloth lookalikes lived in a submarine please help

[Cronrippa]

Although the 80's had Thundercats 80's>90's>everything else

[Cronrippa]

90's cartoons killed it, kids now a days don't get much of a "great" variety of cartoons to choose from. Hell even the Simpsons are garbage now a days...

[kandefer55]

watching this drag me back to my old days where i sit in front of my TV all day watching these...i am grown up now but i still like to watch these things again..now a days children watch nothing but crap stories...

[bandgeek316]

gargoyles and xmen ftw!

[1337one1]

i miss CAT DOG :(

[yankee7349]

what about Code Lyoko man i miss that show dam i loved it

[Espressofortwo]

RIP 90'S

best years of cartoons ever :(

[fkkfreeze]

@Espressofortwo

ya wish...

80s just roflstomp the 90s

[Gohamonem100times]

@Espressofortwo u forgot about the 80's shows. RIP both of em

[void15]

Dude Tiny Toons and the Chipmunks rule!!! love all the ones you got though!

[Pugnap00]

Gargoyles was so legit

[seventydreams]

fuck yeah justice league! 

[GoDiMoNsTeR]

a list of the intros in the description would be nice

[thebigplop]

@GoDiMoNsTeR stop whining

[NickyChanSaying]

RIP 90's

[killafreek]

Damn!!! flashbacks

[undyingjoker]

Sorry love but Gargoyles was early 90"s not 80's

[strideryoko]

LOL They play Hot Potato with Destro

[coconutpower18]

there is actually a tv channel with some of these shows on ... teletoon retro .

[oi565]

Wasn't that Batman just couple of years ago in TV?

[oi565]

5:16 Star Wars??

[oi565]

X men cartoon?? WTF?

[oi565]

WOW I never knew that transformers is so old cartoon!

[furryfan87243]

IMO I wouldn't count Samurai Champloo, I think the anime was more of a Mini Series then a regular anime.  I do admit the girl in it was pretty cute :3

Also, is Plastic Man in the Justice League Unlimited series?

[B3lliard]

mannn i love to bad i cant see all parts cuz im in DR butt love to see part 1 2 3 4 5!!

[beckyseo]

dood, batman was so badass. their animation was simple but not lazy (like cartoons today). and their stories weren't afraid to get serious or sad. even as a kid, i could appreciate that.

[jakohunter]

19 kids never grew up with these cartoons

[FortWorthRaised]

Thumbs up for posting Samurai Champloo on there!

[terryts2]

oh man the memories....so glad i was around to appriciate these works of art

[Klutzybear]

Cartoons now a days are just getting too fucking wierd or pansy for my taste.

ThunderCat, Ghostbusters, Sonic The Hedgehog, Samurai Pizaa Cats, Speed Racer.

That was the best shit to me.

[zeroskull101]

fuck G.I joe

[SonicXmario50]

This reminds me of a bunch of old vids uploaded on youtube a few years back. There were a series of vids(by the same poster) that showed 60's, 70's,80's,90's, and 2000's cartoon intros(with there own separate parts of course). They were glorious IMO, Does anyone know what happened to them? Were they taken down? Please reply if you know.

[MrClarkisgod]

@SonicXmario50 They were titled "80's cartoon into overload/explosion" some of the parts are still out there but some of the sections have been taken down due to copyright garbage. I know the TMNT intro is about impossible to find anymore, because the lawyers have absolutely nothing better to do.

[SonicXmario50]

@MrClarkisgod

thx bro :)

God damn these companies. No one did anything wrong with those vids, nobody made a profit from them. Whats the big deal? ugh...

[MrClarkisgod]

@SonicXmario50 I know what you mean. Just imagine.... that is someones job. Their purpose in life it to probably google search their own stuff and then flag it to be taken down. Wow, what a champion of what is good and virtuous huh? Bunch of half wits with too much time on their hands if you ask me. And they wonder why I just download stuff from the Pirate Bay all the time. Just to piss them off. LOL.

[CrimsonBaby11]

@DOLLARCRISIS Not fags...more like brainless zombies.

[solitudesblind]

I forgot how eerie and just flat out cool the Gargoyles intro was.

[HeIIoHater]

im glad i dont remember any of this

[monkyninja4949]

xmen theme was the best

[rx7outlaw]

i dont like the 3rd seasons intro.... 1st was the best

[tonyclifton51]

thx youtube for stealing part 2, 3 and 4.

thx a lot

i really appreciate how hard copyrights are weighted here.

cause showing a 10 second clip would turn warner, sony et al into bankruptcy an make the uploader a fckn billionair.

thx a lot, really.

[MackVirus888]

I wish I was a kid again

[madnutcase84]

Why the hell did I have to be born in 2000?

[aristhekid]

@madnutcase84 You have no idea what you've missed

[madnutcase84]

@aristhekid I know and it pisses me off

[SquirrelParty]

how the hell did pokemon season 1's theme not make it into this vid??

[Dathlan]

@erykwelde

#1 is inspector gadget

#2 wacky racers but i'm not sure.

[westwilly213]

damn im glad some people remembr the good shit from back in the day not tht pussy cartoons tht they have now and days

[airen392]

@erykwelde I think the first one you are looking for is called "Max Steel"

[slashaozzie]

Oh man gargoyles was the shit, And justice leauge were not to bad, But Batman was always a must :)

[thedevilcancry]

what happened to the good old cartoons? i haven't seen seen a single cartoon these days that even come near the looney toons or the good old fashion DC heroes. now a days you only see crap on tv tbh

[totaldramafan24]

@thedevilcancry What about sonic the hedgehog? sonic x sucks, or at least the 4kids dub

[Poptartza]

@thedevilcancry you need to look at anime to get a decent cartoon these days. I lol at how some of the stuff that was in Looney toons would cause the shows to be canceled, and all of the artists and writers thrown in jail these days.

[InfestedHydralisk]

@Poptartza Anime in general is pretty terrible too in my oppinion. There are only a few exceptions on anime series I like, but other then that. It's pretty bad.

[MRCAVALIER34]

@thedevilcancry batman, superman, and the justice league ws great. the marvel shows were good too. i rarely find cartoons that i like now.

[zed170]

@DOLLARCRISIS agreed 100%

[f3hy]

I liked the X-mens opening the best, even the batmans was cool 2

[1110100110]

@DOLLARCRISIS And the internet nowadays turns pricks into trolls.

Anime is the fucking shit. Was when I was 12 and it still is after 2 kids.
