Seeing all these forgotten/cult classic cartoon shows AFTER watching Venture Bros for years really blows your mind how deep the well goes

@Redmenace96 Год назад

Clutch>>>>Quest>>>>Venture The theme is kids trying to escape mundane and troubling reality. I wanted to go on adventures with people who were not necessarily my family. (be a 'ward' of a millionaire scientist) Bring a dog, have a bodyguard, fly jets, etc. Fighting mummies, or crossing the Andes may seem dangerous- but not really in the moral and physical sense. (always a happy ending!) Navigating 4th G teachers and girls and playground was much more emotionally and psychically disturbing.

I got to work as an animator for Dick Brown. He was a good guy. His company was working on a show called "Future Flipper", about Flipper in the future. He also did "The 3 Sooges" cartoon. Mr. Brown pioneered the adventure cartoons with the non cartoony look. The other one he did was "Space Angel" after "Clutch Cargo". They worked out of what I understood was a Howard Hugh's bldg on Romaine and Highland in Hollywood. As I said, he was a good guy.

I can say with the up most honesty that while primitive, it’s inventive and encouraging how one with barely a budget can get around an obstacle and come up with something fun.

Our local TV station showed it on a morning kids show that I watched, and I was only about 4 at the time, so I figure they worked out some sort of syndication deal to show it. Regardless of what the deal was, it wasn't long before it disappeared. But I still have the memories of the show even now in my 60's.

What’s interesting is now we have something akin to a high tech version of Clutch Cargo in the form of Vtubers who use a face tracking program rigged to a 2D model with limited animation in order to get away with being a cartoon character in a livestream. I could totally see someone rebooting Clutch Cargo using that technology to keep the same vibe as the original without creeping out new audiences.

Mention of this show always brings back the taste of high-sugar cereals saturated in milk back into my head. Like Lucky Charms & CapCrunch for breakfast, "always after me sweet surprises"! Caught it one summer during the 70s in the NYC area. Forget what station had it but it was a weird one, thats for sure. In New York, soon as summer vacation hit, they'd expand the kids TV schedule with all these weird low budget shows, you'd never see anytime else. It was actually a pretty decent adventure show but never forgot that weird moving mouth thing. Couldn't figure out what was causing it. Honorable mention, also to; Courageous Cat & Minute Mouse, Bob McCallaster, Davy & Goliath, and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Such fond memories of sleeping late, watching lotsa TV, and getting seconds on milk-soggy sugary cereals.

When I was a kid in the 80s, it was on early in the morning before school. Channel 60 Chicago played all the old cartoons from 6-10 in the morning.

I loved watching this as an adult and noticing the antique airplane that is an okay effort to draw a real airplane: a 1929 Bellanca Airbus! That airplane is a distinctive and beautiful design and a few dozen were built.

I was 6 years old in 1968 watching reruns of this cartoon...in a way it both fascinated and creeped me out with the mouths..

I watched it as a child, but in the 1980s, where it was shown on TV in South Africa. It was dubbed into Afrikaans, and the character was renamed Koos Kakebeen (Koos being a common name, Kakebeen translating to Jawbone). They always showed the shorts, and I enjoyed as I was 5 and 6 years old

I watched it as a kid growing up in the early 70s, came on TV every day as a part of the early moning kids show broadcasted by a local station.

I think I would've like this as a kid, so long as I viewed it as you called it, a comic with limited movement. As a sci fi and action comic lover that sounds like it was perfect for me. Shame it didn't show in my area even in reruns. I had seen only one or two pics from it here or there and heard the name over the years but had no clue it was like this, always assuming it was a comic strip or a standard animated cartoon. Something called Space Angel also rings a bell when hearing about this show. Maybe also done in this unique way? Thanks for the info.

Does anyone remember comedy bits on the 90s’ Late Night with Conan O’Brien where Conan would have a tv monitor show celebs like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bill Clinton? They used actors’ mouths inserted on photos with live actors improvising dialogue. They ALWAYS referred to these bits as ‘doing Clutch Cargo’. They can still be seen on RU-vid.
