 That's right guys today on the show we're taking a look at back to the future the animated series Welcome back to come again TV the only place on YouTube. We're all geek culture collides I'm Shannon and as I said today on the show we're taking a look at back to the future the animated series Originally, I had something else planned for this video I was supposed to get in my pre-ordered edition of back to the future of the board game today However, it was scheduled to be delivered today But amazon just messaged me this morning saying that it's now delayed and they don't know when it's going to be delivered So I canceled my order I've got GameStop Keeping me appraised on it. Um, I'm no longer be going to be doing pre-orders through amazon I'm going to either go through GameStop or I'm going to go through funko itself Because amazon has just proven they are unreliable when it comes to pre-orders when it comes to any orders for that matter I've had nothing but problems with them lately When it comes to orders So with that being said as I said, we're taking a look at back to the future the complete Animated series as you'll see here. I have the dvd box set of the complete trilogy I have the complete animated series as well as the Christmas special now the Christmas special was actually included in the complete animated series as a Regular episode for the series. I did not know that um, so I went ahead and purchased the Christmas special on its own in addition To the complete animated series and then found out once they were delivered That now I have two copies Of the Christmas special So anyway a little bit of information on back to the future of the animated series It ran for a total of 26 episodes two seasons with 13 episodes each From september 14th 1991 until december 26 1992 The theme song back in time from the film was used as a theme song for the animated series However, Huey Lewis in the news did not perform it. Instead. It would be performed by alan silvestry Of the cast from the films only two Actually reprised their voice roles for the animated series and that is mary steenburgan And tom wilson who returned to provide the voices for their characters of claire clayton brown And the various members of biff tannins extended family However, christopher loy did return for live action segments At the beginning and the end of the animated series as well as Occasionally during commercial bumpers. He would appear alongside bill nye the science guy Well, not really alongside more in different in different scenes Christopher loy would voice over the bill nye the science guys segments bill nye appeared as dr. Brown's lab assistant during the live action segments That ended the show with a science experiment nye also served as the show's technical advisor advisor and this led to the development of the series bill nye the science guy The animated series won four daytime emmy awards for sound mixing and sound editing There's also a harvey comics comic book series as a continuation of the animated series For those of you who aren't familiar with back to the future the animated series it is kind of a continuation of the film series It picks up shortly after the events of back to the future three it has Marty McFly it has dr. Emmett brown It has claire clayton brown It has biff tannin. It has joules. It has verne. It has einstein and It has jennifer marty's girlfriend so far since i've got this i've only watched a couple episodes And it still holds up pretty well The animation is okay. Yeah. Yeah, martycus martycus You look more like a two of the gluteus maximus Oh great. This thing's on the fritz. He said two of the gluteus maximus I should have known i'll start you have humiliated me before the fine people of rome But it's nowhere near as bad as some animated series That have not stood the test of time Uh As some of you may know i'm a huge back to the future fan Uh, I collect the laurian time machine Cars hot wheels Hollywood rides Playmobil stuff like that um But they haven't really come out with very many Action figures based on the series. Uh, yeah, mcdonald's had some things back in the day But that's pretty much all that we got Other than t-shirts You don't really we don't really get much in the way of action figures and toys, which i'm very disappointed in The animated series would have been a great time to release Action figures even if they were done in the style of the animated series That would have been better than nothing. They did try to get the voices pretty spot on Uh, when it came to hiring voice actors for the animated series Um, doc bruh the voice actor who plays doc brown He is a little bit gruffer Than christ forloid um His voice sounds a little A little harsher i want to say Uh, marty sounds a little he sounds pretty accurate. I mean you could tell the difference between his voice actor and Michael j fox obviously But he sounds pretty pretty close to the real marty. Well not the real marty McFly But he sounds pretty close to michael j fox As you can see here on the front cover You have the logo back to the future of the complete series and you've got some scenes there From the actual series itself now on the back You have the delorean time machine there all 26 episodes on four discs Um The adventures continue with back to the future the complete animated series Featuring all 26 episodes of the award-winning saturday morning cartoon complete and uncut Join marty mcfly and doc brown doc's wife clara sons jules and verne And dog ironsign for more hilarious adventures as a time travel to prehistoric hill valley Ancient realm medieval england the civil war the days of the pirates the far future and beyond Featuring live action segments with christ forloid as dr as doc brown Science experiments by bill nye the science guy and the vocal talents of mary steenbergen as clara and thomas f wilson biff and ten and dan castellanetta And dan castellanetta as doc It is a family entertainment at its best and a true treasure for all back to the future fans Bonus features include drawn to the future new interview with co-creator executive producer bob gale and writer producer john luden On the making of the series Back to the future the animated series revisited A look back at the creation of the series With the members of the original animation team Galleries rare archival material including pre-production art promotional materials and more Storyboards full storyboards for the entire swing low sweet chariot race aka roman holiday episode So anyway, here we have the animation stills This some of the scenes in the series uh Look at the artwork that is exactly how the Characters are portrayed in the series. They haven't changed it at all for this image. That is exactly how come how they look You have the list of episodes on disc one and disc two there Including the bonus feature of drawn to the future Then the list of episodes first season two disc one and two Uh including the bonus features back to the future the animated series revisited and the galleries So as you can see this is the complete series. You got season one and season two two discs each Take a look at each disc. You got marty And doc let me go ahead and spin that around a minute There we go. You got marty and doc there season one disc one Season one disc two you got clara You got jewels and you got verne on Season two disc one You've got marty and doc again And on season two disc two you've got einstein and you've got biff tannin So now let's go ahead and take a look at the Christmas special Back to the future of the animated series dickens of a christmas And obviously as you can see there It's another interpretation of charles dickens classic a christmas carol as you can see marty there It portrays the ghost of christmas future Uh, i'm sure he also probably portrays the ghosts of christmas pass and present as well Um Given that there's a time machine involved All things are possible. I have not watched yet. I'm waiting until the christmas season Before I watch this particular episode On the back here. All right, that's close enough holiday fun for the whole family One of the most popular film series of all time rockets into animated action spanning time itself in the awesome cartoon adventure based on the spectacular back to the future movies in dickens of a christmas A quest for some instant christmas spirit sends marty and the brown family back to charles dickens mary old england Before you can say figgy pudding the scrooge-ish ebb and easter ebb if knees are tannin Kid naps claire and a young Pickpocket swipes the keys to the time traveling de laurian now only marty's ghostly masquerade Can save him and his friends from spending the rest of their lives in christmas past bonus feature a family vacation episode Doc brown packs the family into the door and for a vacation to medieval england Where doc must win a joust with lord biffingham to save his life and his life So anyway, there's that and then You've got the disc itself Which looks an awful lot like Some of the different uh discs for the back to the future movies Um, of course it does not look like the discs from this box set that I have here which my wife purchased Before we ever got together But the discs for this box set actually have the cover art From the films actually on The discs themselves As you can see, there's the first one with michael j fox Then you've got The second one with michael j fox and christopher loyde And then the third one with michael j fox christopher loyde and mary steenbergen And there's that Overall The animated series as I said it holds up pretty well I was very impressed by how well held up And I was impressed with how closely They managed to get the uh voice actors to the original And what's more is The fact that they managed to get Chris for loyde to portray dr. Emmett brown in uh the introduction And at the ending of each episode Along with allowing mary steenbergen and tom wilson to reprise their roles as claire clayton brown and biff tannon Very impressive with that I only wish they could have gotten michael j fox and christopher loyde to actually voice marty and doc brown That would have been perfect. And i'm sure that wasn't really feasible considering At the time How much they would have probably Cost the production of uh the series However, one would think that chris for loyde It would have been more feasible to have him voice Doc brown then to show up in the live action scenes And maybe they could have used that extra money To uh kind of provoke Michael j fox to come in and voice marty may fly as well But anyway guys, I hope you enjoyed this video I wish I would have been able to do a video on the back to the future board game from funko But of course Amazon screwed the pooch on that one So anyway, if you enjoyed this video, make sure you hit the subscribe button Don't forget to like comment and share with your friends I've been shenan.
