13 Criminally Underrated 90’s Cartoons That Ended Too Soon - Explored

- There are few actors that are beloved by all, and Nathan Fillion is certainly one of them. The actor’s quick-wit and boyish charm have earned him a well-deserved following in Film and TV. But while you, like most other viewers of this video might know him as the dimple-cheeked, wise-cracking, borderline man-child protagonist of Castle, we first met Fillion as the dashing captain of the Serenity: Malcolm Reynolds. Combining story-telling elements from the world of science fiction with the visual aspects of an Old Western, Firefly made its debut in 2002 to much fanfare. The story was promising: a rogue, war-weathered captain leads his crew in a resistance against an intergalactic ruling authority. The sad part is: we never got to see its end. Firefly was canceled 11 episodes into its run, and has since become something of a cult classic. And this treatment isn’t reserved for TV shows. Throughout the history of television, many iconic TV series’ have fallen prey to early cancellation, and cartoons are no exception.
We’re fascinated by what could have been. Some popular, unresolved cartoon shows got a proper conclusion years after getting canceled initially; thanks to rabid fan support and changing attitudes in the entertainment industry. We know the stories of Hey Arnold! and cartoon-pioneer Matt Groening’s groundbreaking Futurama series. There are many others still unresolved. In this video, we bring you some of the most underrated cartoon series’ that were canceled too soon, from the Golden Age of Cartoons: the 90’s.

What an amazing list! I completely forgot about swat cats and Xtreme Dinosaurs. I need to find these and watch them ASAP!
Swat Kats was my favorite show, I almost cried when I found out that they did not even finish season 2. Those were some good cartoons back then.
@@123mirc Yeah...things were good back then... most of the stuff today is just garbage.
Biker mice from Mars? I'm in...
@@123mirc q11jjjqq18rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtyyyyyyyyyyyy
When watching Basketball every time some get’s blocked I callout: “Swat Cats” Get that “Shyt” outta here!
SWAT Kats was the most hardcore animated series from Hanna-Barbera. Too bad they never finished it with those unmade episodes.
I didn’t know they made SWAT Kats. I caught that show entirely by accident as an adult. Awww good times
That show was my sh*t 🔥
Would love to see what a soft reboot would look like
You goofed on the character names on Swat Kats. The character names are Jake Clawson, and Chance Furlong, and their alter egos are named T-bone and Razor
Looks like there making a swat cats reboot. Swat kats revolution
@Raul Mejia Sadly, they're never as good as the first.
Gargoyles could have used another season
NO it shouldn't have.
Let me explain something to you. You know how a lot of shows have 5 seasons and then the 6th is divided into parts 1 and 2 instead of just making season 7 i.e. the Sopranos. The reason for that is because of licensing and actor contracts. Structurally Gargoyles is *EXACTALY* 6 seasons long with 13 episodes per season. It's just that season 2 happened to have 52 episodes where the other ones only had 13. They knew Exactly what they where doing when they made Gargoyles and it has a very cohesive structure and season 6 (I mean 3) had a really good ending where it's implied heavily that Goliath and Eliza start to date
Then we asked for more and got the god awful Goliath Chronicles
Also if you want another good season just read the comics
@@TotalTech2. there were a couple of storylines that were never finished. We never fully learned what happened to Cold Stone, Cold Fire and Cold Steel. I always wanted another episode about Goliath’s Rockery brother.
@@biguy617 Glad you bought that up. The reason for that is because it was ordered from the higher ups that there had to be enough ambiguity left at the end in order to 'continue' the series on Disney.
It's the same reason they don't Really solidify the fact that Goliath and Eliza where together because while the series for all intents and purposes should have and did end there the Disney overlords need a few loose threads to milk the property more
@@biguy617 I agree, it's the one 90's cartoon that stood out for me amongst the others. I never cared for any on this list.
@Based Kaiser Honestly I believe Weisman was always political and socially conscious, I can tell that just from watching Gargoyles. If anything, the times of the 90's wouldn't allow him to present his narratives to their full capacity. I don't know how old you are, but I am assuming you watched Gargoyles as a kid so you were probably oblivious to a lot of the social and/or political commentary at that time. Go back and watch it as an adult and you'll see. As for Young Justice, it is socially and politically heavy but it doesn't really bother me and still serves as an escape from the rigors of life for me...🤷🏾♂️
The pirates of darkwater was awesome
Yeah it was! Did it get a conclusion recently? This video seemed to imply the fans got pirates of dark water finished. I gotta look into that.
How could you forget The Mighty Ducks animated series, Wild West C.O.W.Boys of Moos Mesa and Street Sharks? 3 of the best 90's shows ever!!
These are “Underrated shows” lol
And Gargoyles
@@BlessedVet Gargoyles is magnificent but it was wholly recognized as magnificent by people then and now and so its on a different list. It was the show that had *children* loudly arguing about Shakespeare.
street sharks was def not underrated
Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs, Mighty Mouse, Samurai Pizza Cats
I was hoping to see mummies alive. No one ever seems to remember that show but I was obsessed with it.
I used to watch Mummies Alive along with Extreme Ghostbusters as part of a weekday morning block of cartoons on Sci Fi. I even had a few of the action figures.
@@Adam_Gunia I used to watch those shows together too. Small world lol
I loved Mummies Alive. I found it on a streaming channel, and I watch it with my kids now.
@@Karateka1973 where is it streaming?
watched this and Sonic Underground every day before school started. Also, where the hell is Mighty Max on this list? or Street Sharks?
SWAT KATS: Radical Squadron had to be the most violent kids show ever aired (in terms of civilian casualties) and I loved every second of it as a kid. I actually got to ask the show’s creators during a convention panel why it got canceled and they explained that it technically wasn’t. What happened was the higher ups, either at Hanna-Barbera or Turner Broadcasting, refused to let them sell merchandise (which is how all kids shows got their funding back in the day). The toys sold really well, they just weren’t allowed make any more.
Swat kats was on when me and my friends was getting into ttrpgs and me and my best friend made the junk yard dogs (dog versions of swat kats) in heroes unlimited
@reapersritehand Swat dogs lol. Only reason it was Kats is because of the f14 tomcat air superiority plane. Just the plane had 3 engines and almost looked like a f15/f14 mix. Idk i really enjoyed that show and Ole Ted turner fucked that up for us. But swat dogs was probably the better name technically saying. Since they got into dog fights lol
lets not forget the SWAT Kats Super NES game which was amazing

thanks a lot !
Not all heroes wear capes
Thanks, this guy speaks too much
I'm really grateful for this. Thanks
Extreme Ghostbusters!
The Double Dragon animated series was much better than the live action movie.
YES SIR! 🤩🤩😍🥰
Yup, that's a fact.
The game on commadore pc was the best
The bar was set so low by the live-action movie that as long as the cartoon wasn't a stop-motion claymation, it was going to be better than the movie.
Exosquad was one of my favorite shows and no one seems to remember it. With elements lifted directly from Robotech/Macross, and covering complicated social issues, it was a definite winner.
Sounds cool and they can actually make a second video of 90’s cartoons as there were so many shows that never made it far
I loved that show! Its probably a big reason why I got into mecha anime later on in life.
Eco squad toys were the best too
I used to get up at 6:30 am every school day, to watch Exo-Squad, because it was slotted in at the butt-crack of dawn in my area. But I remember tuning in for every episode. Too bad it never got a conclusion.
Street Sharks lol
Biker Mice from Mars and Swat Kats was some of the best underrated cartoons ever
i allways like toons from 1980 to 1990 and op of
Those shows deserve remakes
@@realitytev biker mice did have a reboot in 2006 but it wasn't good
@@TheMrfoxguy I didn't like the reboot either, the original is much better.
King Author and the Knights of Justice was an AMAZING cartoon back in the 90’s you guys forgot to mention.

Thank you for refreshing our memories ❤️
It was a great time being a kid in 90s
The 90s cartoons was something special.. sometimes I watch some of these 90s cartoons just to escape everything that's going on nowadays
a year later and not much has changed sadely 😕 btw, this list is phenomenal and Jumanji is my favorite.
Captain Simian and the Space Monkey’s, one of the funniest and subtle cartoons I’ve seen. ‘Space monkey’s! Flip out!’
It seems interesting. I completely missed it
I remember it airing back to back with Bucky O'Hare.
I had completely forgotten that series existed, but then seeing it on this list and the character designs, the memory of "Oh yes, I DID watch that as a kid!" hit me like a brick!
Man this brings back some good memories
These are some GLORIOUS classics and I'm GLAD others appreciates the 90s. Keep up the great work as usual
Every time a series was mentioned I could feel nostalgic tears in the corners of my eyes
Pirates of Dark Waters ❤❤❤ when I worked at a comic store, I found their comic series (to which I bought the only copies) but who else knew that show had comics?!
Another Fun Fact: The Extreme Dinosaurs first appeared as the Dino-Vengers in the final Street Sharks cartoons. Look it up on Wikipedia.
That’s badass. I love Street Sharks
@@c.galindo9639 street sharks was my shit back then
You guys remember ka-Blam on Nicktoons network in the 90s
Street Sharks were legit. I want a Non- Michael Bay live action Street Sharks. James Gunn should direct it.
@@mattericarichards8462 I heard of that but never got into it
The Pirates of Dark Water used to be on Cartoon Network when I was a kid, loved it. And Swat Kats is my all-time favourite show, I still watch it every now and then.
Biker Mice from Mars!✨💯🙌🏾 That one was my second hero after TMNT
What bothers me the most that a lot of these shows left us without any kind of closure, or left things unanswered, specially when it comes to possible couples (like Baloo and Rebeca's relation ect.).
Just like the 90s itself.
This, random adventures made to sell toys but absolutely no closure or story progression.
I see Biker Mice from Mars and Swat Kats in the thumbnail. If only you had Road Rovers in there to complete the 90’s TMNT Inspired Anthro Cartoon Trinity ;3
I seen that show. A great cartoon series
Street Sharks too
Might as well toss “Street Sharks” & “The Mighty Ducks” in there
The Real Adventures of Johnny Quest had a great first season with a killer opening. S2 had the budget cut and suffered for it, underrated for sure
You guys forgot one of the most underrated and short-lived animated shows of the 90's: Bucky O'Hare And The Toad Wars. An no mention of Exo-Squad?!! However you mentioned Cybersix, which I had never heard of before and am now determined to find.
I loved these shows, I never miss the episodes of some series, or at least watch some of the others. Pirates of Dark Water needs to be brought back for sure.
Yeah! A movie would be cool even. But I doubt it that would happend due to PC culture....
I think you could've also added Todd McFarlane Spawn (1997-99) and W.I.L.D.C.A.T.S (1994). Both pretty good series.
Spawn was dark like it was supposed to be but hit on all sorts of topics. Drug dealers , child abuse and other topics.
W.I.L.D.C.A.T.S was like a upgraded X Men series on steroids . Awesome cool effects, and heros fighting off ancient alien warriors.
And ultra force
Spawn is my newest favorite 90s adult cartoon. It’s like Batman:TAS but with a gritty realism that Batman by constitution, can’t achieve. Violence, s3x, and b00bies
Love Extreme Ghostbusters!! I watched all the episodes on RUclips.
I was wondering if there would be references to Extreme Ghostbusters in the current film (Afterlife).
Spoiler Alert: there aren't.
Extreme Ghostbusters are my (most) favorite here in this video
👍👍👍
I become a big fan of "Swat Cats" after watching reruns on the boomerang channel! 🚀🐱🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The thing I remember most about Cyber 6, the fact that it premiered alongside Escaflowne lol.
Awww, yeah I remember Tailspin, it was so popular at the time that it did get incorporated into Disney Land. On the Train that travels all over the park, you would hear Baloo and Kit talking from Frontier Land to Fantasy Land. And there was a show in Fantasy Land that had chars from Tailspin, Rescue Rangers, and Ducktales in it and it was a musical show. 9-year old me loved it lol.
Love Tail Spin!
Road Rovers was also a pretty under rated cartoon from the 90s, in my opinion.
Got to say, this is BY FAR the most accurate list I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Thank you for giving these classics their flowers!
The nineties were the last decade of action figures and action cartoons, except Transformers. Feel free to correct me.
I'll give you the cartoons, but Marvel and G.I. Joe has put out some awesome figures over the last 6-7 years. And like you said, Transformers have had some great figures this year and last.
Loved Swat Kats, surprised you didnt mention how their fighter jet is based on the real F-14 Tomcat. The creators of the show even went out of their way to make the cockpit of the turbocat fighter jet look exactly how the real tomcat jet looked, you just dont get that sort of attention to detail these days.
Swat cats was my fav out of all of em
So crazy how this list unlock these forgotten memories. I love it!
Love how original all these ideas where. Great stories that kept us intrigued. The dialog was rich and character development was not rushed.
This has to be one of the biggest nostalgia trip ever. I remember watching almost all of these shows as a kid and love majority of them. Shame they don't get some good reboots.
The 90s' wouldn't have been anything without..... EARTHWORM JIM
I loved the intro song of earthworm jim... and the Sega game was awesome
Oh my gods, dude you manage to revive my entire childhood in one video! And it's glorious! Tail Spin, Biker Mice From Mars, Street Fighter, Sherlock Holms, Jumanji, Pirates of Dark Water, these where my Saturday morning cartoons.
I loved Xtreme Dinosaurs and Street Sharks so much. Also LOVED anything that was animated Street Fighter. I didn't really get to see this cartoon but I do vaguely remember there being animated movies or a series that was darker, always on late at night on HBO or Starz and I wanted to watch it from beginning to end so bad.
Street sharks hell yeah
Visionary was one of the best shows I've seen growing up that got canceled to soon.
Also earthworm jim is another gem
Visionaries were amazing and yet it was a 1980s cartoon that came out a year after Inhumanoids.
Earthworm Jim was one of my favorite cartoons. Don't make stuff that cool anymore.
@@feck2594 did you hear that they are going to do another animated series.
@@stainshield no but that's great , hope it's good.
Am I the only person that remembers the Starship Troopers, Wing Commander, and Savage Dragon Cartoons?
This video hit me right in the childhood :) thank you for making it
Biker Mice from Mars was, and still is, one of the most popular cartoons in Finland.
The 90s = When every cartoon didn't look like Bob's Burgers yet.
Double Dragon is based on the video game and the movie of the same name.
Have you ever done a deep dive into that cult Canadian kid's TV show from 1992-1994, The Odyssey?
It's 3 seasons of the dreamlike, sometimes bizarre adventures of the young 11-year old Jay Zeigler who goes into a coma after falling from a tree fort and hitting his head, and into a quest in both realities to find his missing, presumed dead, Father.
I loved it as a kid, and still re-watch it now!
oohhh... I loved watching that show about the duality of the concious and unconcious...
Growing up in the late 80s early 90s we easily had the best cartoons and movie and video games so much so that my wife and I decided to have are kids grow up watching the same shows movies and playing the same systems we grew up with so they understand how amazing it was growing up in the 90s :)
Anyone remember street sharks loved that show lol
Originally, *Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century* was a spinoff of Filmation's *Bravestarr* series. How do I know this? There's a two-part episode that went by that title.
Love the list!
Thank you so much for making DIC shows a part of he list. They've had some great shows.
I would like to add Street Sharks, Ronin Warriors, Wild C.A.T.S. and Ultraforce to this list of my awesome childhood cartoons.
Wild Cats had one of the most bad ass intro's ever.
The Jumanji series would most likely be canon with Duckman and Squirrel Boy. Ha. Duckman and Squirrel Boy. That's a nice name for a Batman and Robin parody.
I didn't think that Talespin was underrated, now Pirates of Dark Water is underrated and it was left unresolved. Street Fighter the Animated Series had that feel and tone of G.I. Joe from the 1980s and it came out the same time as Darkstalkers all because of the success of Mega Man from 1994. I know some cartoons that underrated, Piggsburg Pigs as well as Gravesdale High, Darkstalkers, and of course Monster Force which came out alongside with Season 2 of ExoSquad and should have been used as the base for Universal's Dark Universe as well.
Tail Spin was epic and also a surprise that despite how many episodes there are it only lasted one single season. Pirates of Dark Waters was also a childhood fav. I also remember waking up and sitting with my dad on Saturday mornings watching Biker Mice from Mars
I remember watching Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys back in the 90s when I was very young as the series broadcast on CITV, I really wished the seris is finally released onto complete DVD just like Road Rovers, Mummies Alive, Street Sharks and Extreme Dinosaurs.
I was a kid in the 90s and saw most of this cartoons, I agree with many and I loved so many series like TalesSpin that was a great and beautiful cartoon, I cried so much when they canceled the series and I draw and created my own adventures to continue the story.
Always pissed off my girlfriend when I'd get up early to watch Biker Mice From Mars. 🙀
80s gave us some heavy hitters and instant classics, 90s said " We'll take it from here!"
Man, Captain Simian was such a great show and so underappreciated. I never hear anyone talk about it, glad to see it get some recognition.
Regarding Nathan Fillian, a lot of us were introduced to him as Caleb the Servant in season 7 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which was before Firefly. 😉 Also, Pirates of Dark Water was one of my absolute FAVOURITE cartoon series of all time. And the Jumanji art style seems to have influenced the Nickelodeon series The Wild Thornberry's.
Except, you're entirely wrong. Firefly aired from September of 2002 until December of 2002 before it was cancelled with the remaining episodes never airing at that time, and Fillion's Caleb did not appear on Buffy until April of 2003 for the series' final 5 episodes. Fillion was very much given the role of Caleb as a consolation after Firefly's cancellation.
So sad that Swat Katz revival donation drive didn't went as expected. I wonder if there will be a reboot for Biker Mice as well.
We have been getting so many great reboots like Animaniacs, Ducktales and TMNT.
The only thing I remember about the Pirates of Dark water is that the monkey-bird "Niddler" was a complete junkie for pomegranates and minga-melons (kinda like watermelon). I really only recall that because I remember begging my mom to buy me one (pomegranate) so I could see what the fruit tasted like. Btw..... tasted amazing. Niddler knew what he was talking about!
I had all the action figures and motorcycles of biker mice. I absolutely loved that show. Also Cadillac and Dinosaurs was my favourite arcade game back in my day
Jonny Quest is missing from the list. The 60s series was a game changer and the potential the 90s rebooted series had is undeniable. Also, the episodes made in the 80s were there, i guess.
They brought it back thou
I used to watch Extreme Dinosaurs! I loved that series.
I was always a huge fan of Mummies Alive. Pretty neat concept that had some pretty deep and philosophical themes. Same with Mad Max.
I meant Might Max, lol
Frank Welker should have reprised his role as Slimer.
I kind of outgrew watching cartoons in the early 2000s but Invader Zim was that one show I absolutely loved that kept me watching Nickelodeon for a bit. That show was so short lived. My guess it's because they felt it was too dark and edgy or it being too expensive.
Both are reasons and Invader Zim is an instant classic
That and the creators claim to fame was an underground comic called "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac"
Invader Zim is one of those shows that would've been a lot more successful in the 90s especially on MTV.
@@jamesjohnston1935 that’s badass
@@jamesjohnston1935 JTHM was pretty sick and cool... immediately thought of that comic the first time I saw invader zim...
Thanks so much for including a couple of shows that I worked on (Extreme Ghostbusters, and Jumanji)! I was also involved with a Swat Kats toy line.
Just perfect, thanks for your amazing content 🤓
Biker Mice from Mars had a revival series in the 2000's --it was pretty cool as it wasn't a reboot, it was a continuation of the first series storyline. Would love a third series to come out.
I really miss ExoSquad and Xtreme Ghostbusters, both had awesome stories and diverse, deep, casts of characters. Few shows made me think as deeply as those. I liked Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars too, though it was no where near the same quality.
I actually watched as many cartoons and anime as I could, up until it all moved to cable and the regular tv blocks died out. It really makes me sad that shows are so consistently locked behind paywalls nowadays. I feel bad for kids that live below the poverty line and don't have the opportunity to enjoy these shows like we did; but I suppose that's what books and playing outside (~shudders~) is for...
Bucky O’Hare!!!!!!!! Loved it!
This is a good list, Captain Simian & the Space Monkeys, Biker Mice From Mars, Bucky O'Hare, Double Dragon and too many cartoons did not have long enough. I'm glad Biker Mice had a follow up series. It's a shame some of the others haven't been revisted.
A whole roster of gems. I've seen all of these and I've tracked down, harvested, and archived them all in my personal library.
Pirates of Dark Water was really good. Too bad we never got to see the end.
Also Ioz starts with an i it’s pronounced “Eye-Oz”
I think it's a bot doing the voice over. It also seems to have trouble with other certain words and it pronounces Maurice LaMarche as "Morris Lamarsh". Most of these listicle channels have bots doing the voice overs, but they're often fairly convincing.
90s cartoons awesome and action packed today 😴
12:04 this is one of many things i miss about cartoons; that certain art style. This type of art style is such eye candy to me (this is especially present in 2000's shows)
I don't remember some of these, but I loved Captain Simian, Biker Mice and Pirates of Darkwater. I was getting a little old in the late 90's so missed some of these.
Haven't heard of any of these except for EGB, which is an exceelent show and one any self-respecting Ghostbusters fan should watch, and Biker Mice From Mars.
And you can say that the 90's was the golden age of cartoons, but you'd be wrong; absolutely nothing on this list could even come close to the likes of The Transformers. ThunderCats, Masters of the Universe and Princess of Power, TMNT, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, Dungeons and Dragons, Jem and the Holograms, and yes, The Real Ghostbusters, to name but a few. The 80's were truly the golden age of cartoons, it all went downhill in the 90's and crashed and burnt in the 2000's.
I'm a 90s baby, and I'd have to somewhat agree with you:
Every generation thinks the cartoons they grew up with were the greatest of all time--but if there was a crown for the decade that gave birth to the most influential cartoons/IPs in United States history, then that crown would be awarded to the 1980s. Many of the IPs and cartoons spawned during the 80s still persist (in some form) to this day.
I’d include MTV’s Oddities: The Head as one cartoon that ended too soon. It got two seasons and a graphic novel to finish it but I think it should have gone longer. Great job guys and i suggest Dark and Heartbreaking Moments From Superman The Animated Series, Spider-Man The Animated Series, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited and X-Men: Evolution. Thank you again and keep the amazing work coming. Oh and I’d include Mortal Kombat: Defenders of The Realm as one show that ended too soon.
I heard of that show but never seen it. It sounds interesting
I've forgotten about that. It was shown here in Asia as well. Along with other MTV shows like Aeon Flux (which bored me to death as a teen). Daria was the best MTV show, though.
mtv had alot of great cartoons in the 90s that got cancalled to soon like, the maxx based of the comic of the same name
I knew everything but Cadilacs and Dinosaurs, thank you for the nostalgia trip.
Biker Mice from Mars was one of Ian Ziering's first voice acting Vinnie was the man or should i say mouse lol that i fell in love with as a kid the other was Wildwing Flashblade the team captain in Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series and i'm surprised that this show didn't make the list as it only lasted one season and ended on such a cliffhanger
I think Monster Force is another forgotten, underrated show that deserves a nod too. The animation and character designs were awful. But the story, background music, voice acting, and just overall atmosphere were quite good. It was more mature than it appeared on the surface. And this coming from a life long anime fan! Speaking of anime, the 90's was not really the period when anime began to make a huge mark on the West. Maybe in North America and other English speaking countries. But anime was already pretty big in Europe (outside UK and Ireland) since at least the 80's.
The shows here are based in the US so anime inspiration was made during that time
Please. „Demonic Entities from the Outcasts TV-Show explained“
Great list man. Nostalgia overload. My favorite was Exo Squad. I had lots of the toys when I was a kid and recently started watching it again with my son and he loves it too. It was so good, almost structured like an anime with it's continuous ongoing plot and heavy social themes. The characters were awesome too. Gonna hunt down some of the figures I had when I was a kid.
Damn bro flash back to my childhood. I was 8 in 1990. So many great cartoons i need to look up now that im 39.
Why are most of these cartoons impossible to find today?
I really enjoyed SWAT Kats and Pirates of Dark Water more than any other show on the list.
Pirates of Dark Water was one of the greatest cartoons ever .
I said this exact thing
This is amazing!! I had forgotten most of these shows to be honest but I use to love them as a kid in the 90's!! Thank you so much for bringing back all these incredible memories!! Btw I was a kid in the 90's in Brazil, and watched all these shows as well, go figure 😄
WOW!!! Thank you for this.
Great list, but no Mighty Max??
The 80's is the Golden Age and best age ever of cartoons
Fuh Q for that comment
Several of these I have never heard of but they all look amazing!
The comic book art style that these shows had was great it makes the show look badass and give it lively feeling something which lacks today.
Biker mice was actually a marvel property and had comic issues of the first episodes
Wouldn't the golden age of cartoons be the 80's? 90's be the silver age and the bronce age would fall under the early 2000's?
80’s wasn’t as expansive as the 90’s in cartoons. Maybe in anime the 80’s would be considered the golden age but not cartoons
