The theme tune just came into my head randomly as a 35 year old man currently feeding my baby. I have no idea where that came from but here we are. I had forgotten all about this show, but what a masterpiece it was!
Man!!!!! This was one of my favorites in my childhood!!!! The music!!!!! So 80’s First MASK, then G.I. Joe, and finish with the Transformers!!!!!! And the comercials with the toys!!!!! So many great afternoons!!!
As someone that grew up in the 90s and had loads of 80s cartoon reruns, I have to disagree. Animation stepped up its game so much. Not just with the animation itself but also with story telling and voice acting. Back then a lot of it was just case of the week type shows. With maybe an overarching villain that was very one-dimensional. Nowadays I've watched animated series like Young Justice where they had complex storytelling, loads of character development and very clever writing and twists.
@@KilueiBut the difference is that cartoons of the 80's were pretty much about 25 minute toy commercials. Where as much as Warner Brothers wanted to sell toys for Young Justice, it didn't happen, because it's targeted towards young adults. Young Justice is a great show though.
10:35 - as a kid, I thought the Thunder Hawk's gull wing doors turning into wings was the coolest thing ever, but as an adult I can't help think how nightmarish the turbulence would be!
im 46 now and i used to have a toy collection of MASK. they were cool back then during my childhood but too bad i gaveaway all of them to friends and cousins. still a big fan of this cartoon
Daniald kenalkan namaku'MIRA DAMAYANTI"Umurku sm umurmu sama,Mira juga umurnya 46 taun,Apalagi mira wktu s.m.p smpai sekrng ini juga suka bnget sm film mask😉
With you.. I’m 44 and had almost every toy in the line when I was a kid..just started re collecting them.. Star Wars and mask are my all time favorites
You obviously have great taste in music. You should check out Night Ranger and Winger if you don't already own all their stuff. I would have enjoyed the theme song more but found myself spontaneously jamming ice picks into both of my ears, which sorta ruined the experience.
I used to watch the show and make MASK vehicles and characters out of Legos afterwards. I'd take off the yellow haeds of the characters and replace them with lego bits, which would be their helmet. Those were super fun times, just messin around and making fun stuff :)
The music in cartoons back then was just epic. Theme is worthy of being played in a stadium, the incidental music underlying the action is a-rockin' and has it's own personality distinct to the show you're watching ...
Born in 76 and this has brought me back in time. Getting off the school bus and going to a friend's house who had cable to watch this was a must. I think it came on the USA channel...good times
I never thought there's too many plot holes in Episode 1 but this cartoon got me into comic books besides G. I. Joe, Transformers, Visionaries and Centurions.
I grew up in the 90s but we had loads of reruns of older cartoons on Cartoon Network. Used to watch M.A.S.K, Centurions, COPS, classic Scooby Doo, original Transformers etc.
Being a child of the 80s was the best time ever. We had great cartoons before we went and played ball in the neighborhood streets. There will never be a time so care free ever again. I feel sorry for today's kids.
I actually grew up in the 1990's but we still had this show in the UK through the magic of VHS and repeats on television I was a big fan, although I don't think they were still making the toys anymore by that point
Wow! This brings back so many memories! It’s just like when I was a kid watching this but so much older. The quality is exactly the same and the feelings too.
Check out the War for Cybertron Unicron toy. I hear where you're coming from, but toys are much more advanced than they were, it's the kids that are driving demand down as they look for apps and video games over action figures. I loved the Mask toys. I'd have them run special missions for G.I. Joe.😉
Disney animation wasn’t great at that time. Look at Little Mermaid, it’s pretty poor. Plus, this was a tv show so needed to be animated quickly, Disney ha the luxury of time and money.
@@muskratvalhalla9954 The Little Mermaid was a jewel in Disney's crown, representing one of the largest budgets on animation in decades. It used novel rotoscoping techniques and had so many animators they needed to outsource some of the work to finish in the allotted time. Take five minutes and go watch the opening scene with the ship in the storm and look at the animation of the rolling seas, which was done entirely by hand (the last Disney full-length film to be colored by hand). It's absolutely amazing. Disney may have cut corners over the years, but to say it was "pretty poor" is a gross misrepresentation of a major Disney release, especially at a time when other animation studios like Hanna Barbera were churning out extremely shoddy artwork in favor of quantity.
My kids didn't think I was telling the truth about this show lol They also didn't believe me about Turbo Teen either. These shows and Inhumaniods were my favorite growing up. Thanks for the upload
Oh, I wish that hollywood would make a live action movie based on mask. Transformers & G.I. Joe have already made their live action movies. I'm gonna watch it immediately, if it comes out. Being an 80's kid myself, I really loved watching cartoons and collecting their toys.
This was such a great show that holds up today. Thank you! Too bad the owners of the property never gave us new toys based on these classic designs. What a missed opportunity.
Granted... this show is a 23-minute commercial. But this cartoon was my white whale as a kid. We didn't get it locally, so I had to scour the channels every time I want to my grandma's, hoping to find it. It never caught on like GI Joe or Transformers, but it was pretty sweet (and so were the toys).
robotech was a another cool one, also hard to find on tv, probably the coolest of the cool toys imo. way deeper plot than most of these cartoons, dont get me wrong, i loved mask too
Matt Trackers seen in the intro. is awesome! He doesn’t flinch he doesn’t move and just expects the helmet to land on him correctly. I realize it was a cheaper way to do the but it still looks awesome!
I just got chills! This was my favorite cartoon when i was a kid. I had the motorcycle that turned to a helicopter i really wanted the black badguy truck
She wakes up in unfamiliar surroundings, wearing different clothes (can’t believe she was wearing that outfit under the radiation suit) being watched by a stranger, and she never questions who changed her clothes 😂 gotta love the 80s 😂😂
IMDB lists Cliff Dagger holding a remote as a goof because it was later revealed he wasn't controlling the UFO. But the novelisation reveals the remote control was used to create a distraction setting off car horns and lights, but this scene was not included in the final cartoon. No doubt to keep the run time short.
It’s funny Matt Trakker has a secret elevator that takes him to an underground subway. Kind of reminds me of the original Voltron and how they got to there lions.
I think the elaborate-way-to-get-to-awesome-vehicles trope started in the 60s with Gerry Anderson’s Thunderbirds. Japanese anime started to run with it soon after. Voltron was late to the game.
I can still remember playing with all my Mask figures and the huge playset base. Still have pics of xmas morning of 87 with my playset. That song slaps harder than a 7 foot tall Albanian in an 8 ball jacket riding the subway in new york city.
MASK has the best opening song and intro and a load of awesomeness (an American villain in these years? Madness!) but I always laughed at how Trakker's garage was so narrow they could get one vehicle out at a time, or their long ass emergency procedure which consisted in sitting down for MINUTES until they could finally get ready to be on "Venom's trail", lol
Que tiempos aquellos, lo dejaba encendido mi Tv, en blanco y negro, a todo volumen, empezaba con la musica de intro y corria a ver los capitulos, nada me importaba, que tiempo aquellos 😢😪. Esto y muchas series me formaron como investigador. Saludos desde Bolivia...
The amount of passion put into these 80s intros will never be topped! What a time to have been alive 🥲
What a time to be alive indeed!
And a crossover with Inspector Gadget 17:39 Penny. Love the passion this show has
i totally agree man.
The intro music is a masterpiece.
Part of the beat sounds like Journey’s “Faithfully” 🧐🤔
One of the best ever!
Check the writer of MASK ;)
Have you heard the extended theme?
@@Euripides_Panz no, I haven't. But now I will. THANK YOU

Now all rubbish
I did not watch it competely my son did , hè is 37 now , me 62 , good times

I remember having some of the MASK toys as a kid. They weren't quite as popular as Transformers, but I personally thought they were just as cool
🥳
Same here. I enjoyed the figures with the interchangeable masks…. Good memories.
Same! Loved them. Favourite cartoon as a kid.
Me too. I also had some of the toys.
I loved my lil MASK dudes
Still hits like it's Saturday Morning in the 80s. Love it.
Children loved getting up early on Saturdays didn’t they?
The theme tune just came into my head randomly as a 35 year old man currently feeding my baby. I have no idea where that came from but here we are. I had forgotten all about this show, but what a masterpiece it was!
Theme song was stuck in my head 24/7 back in 2020.
I still remember the song 35yrs later. Awesome
Man!!!!! This was one of my favorites in my childhood!!!!
The music!!!!! So 80’s
First MASK, then G.I. Joe, and finish with the Transformers!!!!!!
And the comercials with the toys!!!!!
So many great afternoons!!!
You forgot Saber rider bro!
And the go bots!
80' cartoons are 100% better than todays
That they are.

These were some of my fave toys when I was a kid, and I never missed the series on TV. Love the upload.
I had the black suv and the blue Venom plane. I wish I had all my old toys but always donated to Goodwill as a kid

me too. wish that they upload they upload the one where everyone ride in unicycles and the one where everyone zipline
Damn I get goose bumps when the computer selects the MASK team and I’m now 48 years old.....
Me 62
Woow ❤️🥂
I would love to see that in a live action movie! Good memories!
Try to rewatch Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light when they were being given their powers.
Same here brother
Watching this show brings back memories of when I was a kid watching this show, and playing with the toys, as well.
Oh, forgot about this series but stumbled on the intro. Damn what a nostalgie trip.
10:35 - as a kid, I thought the Thunder Hawk's gull wing doors turning into wings was the coolest thing ever, but as an adult I can't help think how nightmarish the turbulence would be!
Now you can understand that when Thunderhawk is in jet mode the windows are up. That would cut down on turbulence
Wouldn't the rear window just pop off because of all the air gushing in
the wings wouldnt even work as wings! theres no aerodynamics in the wings or doors
"Illusion is ultimate weapon" The most truthful statement ever made - Be carful what you believe.
I still laugh at the opening song lyrics : "...working overtime fighting crime..." 🤣
Yes and the agents are shown abandoning their "day jobs". More like working part-time fighting crime!
im 46 now and i used to have a toy collection of MASK. they were cool back then during my childhood but too bad i gaveaway all of them to friends and cousins. still a big fan of this cartoon
Lol, same. Now I’m digging up all these old gems to share with my 6 year old. 😁

This was part of the soundtrack to my Saturday mornings in the 80's. Man I loved this show.
2022. Who else out here, over 50 years old, knows and remembers this. You had an awesome cartoon time.
I’m with you. Watching in 2023
I’m 47 and remember. I use to love the toys. I wish they would bring them back
With you.. I’m 44 and had almost every toy in the line when I was a kid..just started re collecting them.. Star Wars and mask are my all time favorites
47 years old with fond memories of this gem.
I'm 60 and I have never let MASK die I still have some of the toys
I love that the head villain looks like Stalin lol
The intro is nothing less than legendary 😎
You obviously have great taste in music. You should check out Night Ranger and Winger if you don't already own all their stuff. I would have enjoyed the theme song more but found myself spontaneously jamming ice picks into both of my ears, which sorta ruined the experience.
The other top intro theme was written for Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. 🤘😎
Loved this as a kid. The toys where awesome also.
*were
One of all time favorite super shows.
How come it just says MASK now without the periods between the letters?
One of my all time favourite!! I even bought lots of MASK toys back then! Absolute gold!
One of the greatest show back in the day. This was what i grew watching. This episode does bring some good memories.
Man oh man how I loved this show as a kid!
I used to watch the show and make MASK vehicles and characters out of Legos afterwards.
I'd take off the yellow haeds of the characters and replace them with lego bits, which would be their helmet.
Those were super fun times, just messin around and making fun stuff :)

I wonder who changed her into it whilst she was Unconscious; Matt, Dusty, Alex, Bruce, Buddy or T-Bob?
