These years shaped modern animation as we know it!

All the great movies and t.v. shows and specials, they are countless!

This is a open discussion topic for everyone and my first posting here!

(Sorry for the double posting. The first one was suppose to be here.)

Welcome! So I'm guessing you're a child of the 80s and a Real Ghostbusters fan?

He has to be a Real Ghostbusters fan to have that username, Ben.

I just actually re-watched the original movie on Halloween. It reminded me of all the good times I had watching the original animated series. I never got around to purchasing the first volume on DVD. I'd better get on to that.

Ditto. It seems that the 80s and 90s were the golden age of TV cartoons. From The Real Ghostbusters to Thundercats, Transformers, He-Man, Ducktales, Garfield and Friends, Batman, Tiny Toon Adventures, X-Men, Gargoyles, Sonic The Hedgehog and on and on, there was never a shortage of good stuff like there is now. Even minor, little-known shows like Cybersix or The Pirates of Dark Water had a flair and sense of style that's missing from most of the cartoons on today. Where did all those good writers go?

Yeah, I heard "Real Ghostbusters" writer J. Michael Strazscynski got a job somewhere after that, wonder what happened to him?
