I love the splishy splashy sound effects they chose, apparently the ocean is a puddle. And She-Hulk's graceful landing after the flip out of the car was hilarious. Today she would have stuck the landing and would have had to save Bruce.
I need a long over due Incredible Hulk Netflix cartoon based on the original 70s show. But i dont need Hulk to jump from Maryland to Miami with one leap 😅
Vic Dal Chili makes an excellent point about how Filmation's 'same as' stock system helped keep production costs down, kept all the production work in house, and kept many people employed. Say what you will about how the process was implemented, (I do like seeing certain animations reused if they're fluid enough) but it was A much more efficient alternative to farming the animation overseas. (For every TMS, or Toei, there about 10 Akoms who would've delivered sub par work.) Also, Filmation helped bring in talent who would go on to do bigger, and better things like Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, Tom Ruegger, J. Michael Straczynski, and yes, even John K. So, in the end, while Filmation wasn't the best studio out there, but they did things differently from other studios in more efficient, and cost effective ways. (Also, RIP Michael Swanigan)
What an amazing final part. I couldn't believe now many animated series and films he has worked on. It was like yes I know that cartoon and totally love it. Just totally wow. I did like his insight and experiences at Filmation. Especially how it all ended. A seriously great interview with Vic Dal Chele. And a great 100th episode 👏 Found the
Don't worry Vic, I never noticed the change in spectacles. :D I think that's now twice Lou stepped in to help Vic I believe, that's just awesome and it proves without a shadow of a doubt that Lou Scheimer was 'the man'. :) Since Vic mentioned that Tiny Toons cartoon, I can say this "Vic was glad that he's career didn't go down the hooooole". :D A great account from Vic over Filmation's closure there, though even he wouldn't know why Loreal would want a library of cartoons when they themselves are a cosmetics company?! So Vic work for both of Jean Chalopin's companies, cool. :) (In regards to The Adventures of T-Rex as that was a C&D show, though they worked with Gunther-Wahl on that production, so that's how Vic got involved). Yes, SWAT Kats did indeed break the mold at Hanna-Berbera. Great to hear Vic enjoyed working on that show. He did Biker Mice From Mice too, awesome. :) It's great knowing Vic worked on a couple of the 90's X-Men episodes from season 2, that's awesome. "A Rogue's Tale" happens to be one of my favourite episodes and he worked on Gargoyles too, nice. :) "Scooby Doo and the Witch of Salem" obviously became "Scooby-Doo and the Witches' Ghost" in the end. Nice that eh worked on Extreme Ghostbusters as well. WOW, Vic worked on two versions of He-Man and was the only Filmation artist to be hired on for that. That is quite an honor for him. :) (No She-Ra pun intended). It's cool that he also worked on the 2003 TMNT series by 4Kids. There's another 80's connection for him right there. ;) It's amazing that he kept up with all these projects AND studios that he worked for. So yeah, a wonderful interview all around. This could have ben edited into 7 parts but then we would have had one part that was barely connected to Vic's career in the 80's, so it's easy to see why this part was 40 minutes in length, though I guess that wouldn't have stopped from from doing it anyway James, LOL. :)
Repent for The Kingdom of Heaven is near, believe on The Lord Jesus Christ, God revealed in the flesh, who died on the cross and rose again on the third day to to save you from your sins and the judgement for it, which is hell which we all deserve, but while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, believe on Him ans who He is, get baptized in The name of The Father and of The Son and of The Holy Ghost, recieve The Holy Ghost and walk in God's will for you
yeah the Looking Glass Warrior did indeed seem to call-back to He-man when I first saw it, but I chalked it up to Filmation's tendency to re-use things as I had noticed. Such as the sheet model for Dracula in Filmation Ghostbusters _Shades of Dracula_ being the same (maybe slightly updated) as Dracula from _The Groovy Ghoulies_ ( _and Friends_ , as I remember seeing it back in the day).
That Same/As system being put to good use there. ;) Also the name 'John Guardian', possibly named after John Erwin and the fact He-Man the most powerful man in the universe, acted as a 'guardian' to all of Eternia? ;) Makes you think. :)
In my honest opinion the Bravestarr movie was Filmation's finest work, you can see how much love they put into this sequence by all the little moments of animation, like Bravestarr's facial animation as he tries to wrestle Sarah Jane away, and how 30/30 slowly breathes after blasting Bravestarr.
" X-tro power" 😅 I remember when I first watched this episode back in 82 I think. I see angel shooting energy beams out of hand I'm like.What the hell, since when!? 😅. I know in the 80s. Cartoons were notorious for being inconsistent with comic book based heroes & their powers.
