    My favourite 1980s cartoons were as follows:

    (1) Transformers G1 cartoon (1984-1987/1988)
    (2) He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe (1983-1984)
    (3) She-Ra Princess Of Power (1985-1987) (He-Man Spinoff)
    (4) The Real Ghostbusters (1986-1991)
    (5) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987-1996)
    (6) Dogtanian And The Three Muskehounds
    (7) Around The World With Willy Fog

    Got to mention, even though it wasn't really a cartoon, Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends (Seasons 1 (1984) & 2 (1986)
    Those are mine. What are yours?

    M.A.S.K
    Myterious Cities of Gold
    TMNT
    He-Man
    Bravestarr
    Dogtanian And The Three Muskehounds

    Thundercats was excellent. Battle of the Planets/G-Force was another great one.

    Battle of the planets was the first cartoon I can clearly remember seeing as a four / five year old kid, in particular that R2-D2-like robot, 7-Zark-7!

    Yus! Got around to rewatching the entire series there a few years back, on the way in and out of work on the train.

    Trying to get my hands on "The Mysterious Cities of Gold", as I'm meaning to watch the series again in order.

    Did that cartoon have a song in it which went like:
    "We are children of the sun,searching for...(??????)
    Aaaa aa aaaa,we wish to find the cities of gold,
    Aaaa aa aa,one day we will find the city of gold."?

    Was there another cartoon similar to that from around the same time,which had characters
    named Nat,Rebecca an Arcanna-and what was the name of that cartoon?

    Double kudos for that post because you have just reminded me of a line from the song from the other cartoon I was asking about:
    "Come,and follow Spartacus to the sun beneath the sea...."
    So now I remember the name of the cartoon:
    Spartacus And The Sun Beneath The Sea:-):-)

    Around the World with Willy Fogg and Dogtainan and the Three Muskethounds were great as well


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,672 ✭✭✭An Riabhach


    id forgotten about that! used to love that theme song

    "That's life
    It's life,it's life,that's life..."

    That's all I can remember from the song,but I remember I always used to laugh at the start of that cartoon where they show a man and woman,both naked,meeting,huggìng and kissing and then suddenly merging into a baby!!
    My young innocent little mind.....
