Fantastic Voyage (1968) - OPENING

I guess you guys who are negative on today's cartoons have never seen Phineas and Ferb.

Cartoons like this were for the Apollo generation when America was king and space was ours for the taking. We had a formidable competitor in the Soviet Union. We needed to raise up the Best and Brightest to compete and win.

To that end, cartoons like this were designed to stimulate scientific fantasy and grandiose aspirations. It was a different America then.

Compare then to the deindustrialized police-state ruins of today. Cartoons today are designed to stupefy kids into mindless anomic blobs

That was the best opinion I've heard on Youtube to date! Very well said!

Also, today's "PC" crowd would take offense at the phrase about "combatting the unseen, unsuspected enemies of freedom."




One day we'll wind up and G.I. Joe will no longer be " A real American Hero."

Yet, a hopelessly optimistic yellow sponge and his braindead starfish friend can wander thru the ocean depths without a clue as to what the hell they're doing as they act like a pair of lost stoners...

me lembro de assistir nos 70's!!!!

I used to watch this in reruns in the 70's and think "If they have Guru, why do they need the other members of the team?" My fave episodes were the ones with Godfrey Seneca--the Master Spy

TED KNIGHT VOICE FU! i CAN'T SLEEP! MOMMY, HELP!

EVEN MORE UN-WATCHABLE 41 YEARS LATER! i BET THIS SHOW MADE KIDS RUN AWAY FROM HOME AND JOIN THE ARMY TO FIGHT MONSTER GORILLAS AT THE SOUTH POLE IN THEIR PAJAMAS!

Dang, I just checked on IMDb, and Jerome Bixby was one of the writers on this. Jerome Freaking Bixby! Talk about pulling out your big guns for a Saturday morning cartoon!

I thought Busby Birdwell was just cool as hell. Of course, it probably helped to have been eight years old when this was on the air.

XD

Nick Fury! I was thinking the same thing! LOL!

Reminds me a little of the theme to Get Smart, which was on TV at about the same time.
