[CapnE625]

"Freaka-me, freaka-you" Wow, I'm surprised any parents didn't figure out the subliminal message behind that (fuck me, fuck you)... this cartoon was too awesome for its own good!

[WolfDemonProductions]

*sigh* Those were the days. some of the best cartoons. now everything is filled with garbage drawn with outrageously thick outlines

[Icyguy5438]

I agree completly

[autodidactic]

I thought I imagined the free kazoo!! Thanks for uploading this, my memory isn't as shot as I thought.

[Zamolxx]

Steven Spielberg is a crazy dude...

[Lepper36]

I miss that blue freak in the red pajamas.

[TrueMallowman]

This was roughly as perfect as a cartoon could get - as far as I'm concerned, Animaniacs was perfection, and Freakazoid was damn close.

[ztslovebird]

Agreed! The cancellations of those two shows was a sure sign of impending doom for the entertainment industry! If only they could be revived to save the current generation from death by crappy cartoons!

[Sneep29]

@ztslovebird

Believe me, if this show was revived, you'd be regretting those words. They'd only be handled by crappy writing teams who probably worked on Ben10 or some other mediocre plagiarizing hacks from Family Guy or something. Even the animation would be toned to be blocky and pointy like the industry has it locked on to now.

Think of it this way:

Batman Brave and the Bold is a terrible revival of batman (unfortunately no trace of Paul Dini).

Think of what would happen to Freakazoid.

[ztslovebird]

@Sneep29 It all depends on who's in control. If the only reason why this show is brought back is to make money, then it will DEFINITELY suck! But if someone goes through the (hypothetical) Warner Brother Vault, finds some old Freakazoid episodes that never made it on the air, and thinks "hey, this stuff is pretty good. I'll call so-and-so in the animation department and see if they can get some guys to work on this, then find the old actors", then it might have a chance.

[Sneep29]

@ztslovebird

You've got a good point, but Spielberg would have to raise hell to get the network to air anything he wants to do now.

Also, your right about who cartoons were targeted for. I believe solely that cartoons were mainly made for adults, hence their politically incorrectness such as smoking, making fun of black people, constant Hollywood stars. It was Disney who came in and said, "Yeah, animation is for kids. Lets make these cute movies, and they'll sell."

[ztslovebird]

@Sneep29 That just sounds ridiculous. Spielburg is one of the best directors/producers ever! Half of the Warner Brother movies have his name somewhere in the credits!

[Sneep29]

@ztslovebird

Don't get me wrong, the Disney animation and the shorts which involved Mickey, Donald, and Goofy were great, but I think people who are well rounded about their knowledge on Disney deserve to bash him. Reason saying is that he only made animated movies, which it was Snow White, only to churn more of a profit out. Roy Disney, his brother, helped influence him on that one.

Cartoons weren't always for kids, and Ralph Bakshi has been saying that for years, yet no one listens.

[ztslovebird]

@Sneep29 And why does everyone always insist on painting Disney as the anti-Christ? When he first started out in the movies (LONG before Mickey Mouse was born), the idea of making a full-length animated feature was as impossible as a man spontaneously growing wings and flying around the world. Walt Disney was a storyteller who wanted to be the best in animation, not some money-loving sadist! In fact, if it weren't for Walt, cartoons would've died out long ago!

[Sneep29]

@ztslovebird

Actually, animation god Ralph Bakshi actually painted him like that at a Q&A at Comic-con, saying that if you didn't have everything Walt did, you couldn't make a good cartoon. I really looked at Disney a completely different way when I first saw the video a long while back. Don't get me wrong, Walt Disney was a very nice guy, but how someone who had a first hand experience of the animation business back in the early days of animation saw how he cotrolled it just blew my mind.

[ztslovebird]

@Sneep29 It's very simple, how Walt came to "control the animation business back in the early days"; NO ONE ELSE WANTED ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!!! Everyone else thought animation was a nice novelty, but hardly worth the expense of producing. It wasn't until Walt created Mickey Mouse and Silly Symphonies that people saw the true potential cartoons had, and even THEN no one else thought about making a full-length in-color animated movie!

[Sneep29]

@ztslovebird

Actually, Walt wasn't the first person to run the animation industry. Cartoonist Otto Mesmer created the first very popular animated cartoon character, which was Felix the Cat. Otto Mesmer completely influenced every animation company that popped up after Sullivan Studios, and others tended to rip him off, and even worse was that he ghosted for Pat Sullivan, who took full credit for creating the character when he didn't.

[Sneep29]

@ztslovebird

Winsor McCay was also even the aspiring man to have started the buzz in animation, which his short Gertie the Dinosaur became peoples new interest and had people copy him and even tried patenting McCay's techniques. Tons of people were doing animation, but the torch was handed down to Disney, but mostly because he just did what he saw other people did. It's called inspiration, and without it, you get junk like nower days. People were even making movies before Disney himself.

[ztslovebird]

@Sneep29 If people were making animated movies before Disney, then why is Disney the one credited with being the first? And yes, Walt wasn't the first to create animated shorts, but he WAS the first to put them to sound, the first to produce them in color, the first cartoon voice actor, AND his company created tons of animation-related technology to make producing cartoons both time and fiscally efficient!

[Sneep29]

@ztslovebird

Because Disney is over rated. The only reason certain types of things become popular in the media is because people tend to reuse the same example over and over again. That's how a song becomes popular, and memorable. That's how a cartoon is memorized for decades and decades. That's how political controversy or important factors or people edge their fame. Whether something is notorious or great, it can be memorized.

[Sneep29]

Lets not kid ourselves though, you know that everything can be forgotten. Look at all our history of presidents. They will soon be forgotten because no one researches them. No one remembers who bosko is from the 30's. No one knows that there was a game called Rocket Knight Adventures for the Sega Genesis, or hell even Socket is another good example. No one knows who Rudolph Hess is (I did a paper on him in the 8th grade), and at really rare moments, I think he was spoofed on the Looney Tunes.

[Sneep29]

If Hitler is popular, then why isn't Rudolph Hess remembered? Because people just like to pick at the same subject over and over again, without researching it. No one knows that Mario's name from the Super Mario Bros. was from a landlords name just to keep someone being kicked out of a apartment because of money problems. No one knows that Maurice LaMarche did the Brains voice from the Animaniacs. No one has ever played the original Street Fighter in arcades, when two is the popular one.

[Sneep29]

@ztslovebird

And if your an expert in whatever field, some of that stuff, if your into games, cartoons, or politics, it's all just baby stuff to you. Ralph Bakshi knew personally what was going on back in the day, as he was working on the original Heckle and Jeckle cartoons when he joined the business back in the 50's. Doubting him is basically doubting any other man with first hand experience of the situation when a certain event took place.

[Sneep29]

@ztslovebird

And if you look at any other company before him, they were constantly creating other techniques way before him. He wasn't the only person creating procedures for animation to make it easier.

[porky626]

@Sneep29

You made this dudes areshole like 20 times bigger :|

[Sneep29]

tslovebird

And again, I'm not saying that Disney was anything as bad as an Anti-Christ, but I believe that there are better people to point out than just Walt Disney all the time like I see. No one ever talks or thinks about Felix the Cat, one of the my most all time favorite cartoon characters. He completely revolutionized the 20's and 30's animation. Without Felix, there would be no Mickey Mouse, because that is who Walt was influenced by back when he was a cel washer fascinated by cartoons.

[Sneep29]

@ztslovebird

Also, I never said anything bad about Spielberg. In fact I praise his enthusiasm on cartoons, in which he was quoted saying that he would never let good animation die as long as he lives. I look up to a guy like that who respects the same thing I do. His movies are just as great as well.

What I was saying about Spielberg is that he would have to fight a network to actually put something good on, instead of the crap they shove down kids throats these modern days.

[DazmoTube]

@ztslovebird

today they are nothing more than marketing pros with an aging string of products.

They milked the talents of underpayed artists to create products that, today, they milk once again by manipulating demand.

also, disney wasnt the first.

[Sneep29]

@DazmoTube

Yes, Don Bluth might as well be an example of "milked talents." Also, Pixar is barely holding on by a string nower days, despite the fact that they have the Sam and Max creator working for them. :[

[DazmoTube]

@ztslovebird

uhm, bullshit.

look, the walt disney company had some good employees in its day (including walt himself) the company made some masterpieces exploiting their combined talents in the past and rightfully ride that gravy wagon to this day. today the only thing theyve got is their past, and pixar.

[InvaderWakkoReborn]

@TrueMallowman well, there was one flaw, the network who owned them was run by cocaine sniffing retards :(

i wish they would have at least sold the rights so the shows would have lasted longer!

[Sneep29]

@InvaderWakkoReborn

One of the animation studios on Tiny Toon Adventures said on a forum that Stephen Spielberg felt that "Freakazoid" basically didn't have a chance, so to "take chances."

In all truth, he was right. The show was nowhere even targeted towards kids. The show was hilarious, but it was way over the heads of the audience it was trying to shoot for, being on a kids network and all.

[ztslovebird]

@Sneep29 That's the sad truth; everyone thinks that cartoons are only for kids. Cartoons were originally designed for ALL audiences; kids just aren't scared to laugh when Goofy goes flying through the ceiling or cry when Bambi's mom dies.

[ztslovebird]

@TrueMallowman Agreed; Freakazoid was great, but even Mickey Mouse can't beat the Warner Brothers and their sister Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fana Bo Besca the Third!!

[McMacMastaMan]

@TrueMallowman

You forgot Pinky & Brain :)

[PonchoSnazzy]

[IAmPie]

[DeathBlade182]

freakazoid was completely insane and pointless, I loved it

[lordcrapalot]

[AlgebraAce]

When will Spielburg make more insane cartoons like this and Animaniacs again? that would rock

[jubyjubleman]

I think... never. Sad...

[SpykeMX]

This has to be my favourite uploaded version of the F! intro.

THE QUALITY ISN'T CRAPPY AND CHOPPY.

Uploader rocks

[Masterherox]
