Who else as a child lost their damn minds when, after a moment of darkness and silence, that music came on and that sliver of sun breaks over the planet? I think I had my first boy/girl feels over the Princess....
Was pretty awesome
This my best cartoon film when i was kid❤❤❤❤from Indonesia
Yep
I'm not surprised. I think about how many anime fans ended up that way. When I was 14, I wanted one of Sailor Moon's friends as a girlfriend. So did a lot of 14 year olds back then.
It gave me an idea back in 1998. I wanted to visit Japan as far back as 1989, dur to the Nissan 300ZXTT going on sale. when I was 5. The idea I got when I was 14 was to buy genuine school uniforms and bring them home as proof of the trip. Like other guys, we thought about how hot it would be if our girlfriend wore one.
Hey guys, I lived this in the 70's, now I’m 50, but after watching the video, I still dream awake with reaching the moon in a rocket! My best time.
The best theme ever 1978
Battle of the Planets, Star Blazers, Speed Racer, Voltron.....
Good times
Suuuuperb! Animation was way ahead of its time, and that theme music!! Loved it since my childhood (1970s/80s).
I grinned like an idiot watching this. So many fantastic memories. Thank you for this!
I Watched this from the first episode on American TV in September 1978.
I thought it was great.
The intro is the best of any animated series I can recall.
We had the Best Cartoons 👌
US version voices Casey Kasem (Shaggy in Scooby Doo, Robin in Superfriends) as Mark. Janet Waldo (Judy Jetson in The Jetsons) as Princess and Susan the robot. Ronnie Schell (Gilly in Goober and the Ghost Chasers, Rick Raccoon in Shirt Tales) as Jason. Alan Young (Wilbur in Mr Ed, Uncle Scrooge in DuckTales) as Keyop and 7-Zark-7, Alan Dinehart Jr (voice director) as Tiny and Chief Anderson. Keye Luke (Master Po in Kung Fu, Charlie Chan in The Amazing Chan and The Chan Clan, Brak in Space Ghost) as Zoltar.
Remember that opening very well. Every day after school Toledo, Ohio. Never missed an episode.
As I did back in 1978 on WNWO . Channel 24. Right after my mom's soaps .
Wow blast from the past! Loved this show, brings back a lot of memories. Saturday morning cartoons were so great in the 70s-80s.
I loved this show when I was a little kid. I remember knowing it as "G-Force" with the "Firery Phoniex."
I haven't seen this or heard the theme song since 1983. Brings back a lot of memories.
Great show, I was born in 1970. I remember coming home from school and watching this before I did my homework. Then there was the movies that I finally found in my mid 40's, it was a live action adaptation of this as well as star blazers and for true fans it was great. Even if you had to read subtitles.
This was great. I loved this as a kid. Didn’t miss an episode of Battle of the Planets or Star Blazers.
me too
Star Blazers?
@@redpyramid1914Star Blazers was the U.S. dubbed version of Space Battleship Yamato.
@@aerohard I haven't heard of it, truth be told.
Same here!
Whenever I watched this as a kid I remember “borrowing” my dad’s needle-nose pliers and pretending they were a sonic boomerang like Mark’s.
I lost my damn mind when I heard that intro music as a kid growing up in the 70s! Every day after school.
Sandy Frank took what was originally a Japanese production and somehow made it better. Long live Battle of the Planets!
I used to record many chapters on audio tapes,and listen to them over and over-I was only 11 years old!-,and VCRs were just a fantasy ahead...but this majestic soundtrack will always remain in my memories...turn the Phenix into flames!!😉
Wow! Me too. I had a mono tape recorder with a wired microphone leaning against the TV speaker. I made a mix tape with this music, the Fall Guy theme, Dukes of Hazard and a bunch of others.
I so love the theme music; the strings are wonderful.
And the horn sections. Wow! What an incredible effort - ful orchestral romp for a kids show! And boy it sounds like the era. Makes me smile. I even hear a bit of Charlie’s Angels in there!🙂
I was also very impressed. I first saw G-Force, which used some lame 15 second loop.
I did love the original Gatchaman intro, when I finally got to see it. That was around 2008. RUclips made so many foreign films available within seconds.
Almost equally as good as the latter Superfriends opening music . Michael Kohler needs to get a hold of this and do a MIX/Mash up .
US series Theme by Hoyt Curtin. familiar Hanna Barbera cartoon theme song and music composer including the Super Friends themes.
It is a very sophisticated piece of music to serve as the theme tune of an after-school cartoon show
Looking back, that opening theme was more in keeping with a feature film than a Saturday morning cartoon!
The intro narrator was William Woodson who also did the opening credits for "The Invaders" and "The Odd Couple" ("On November 13th, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence.....")
He also narrated Superfriends
Thanks for the info...I'd heard that voice a number of times, and always wondered!
also the Super Bowl 2 Highlight film in 1968
Has Mr. Woodson died since?
And if so, then when and how?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Woodson
YES! Finally found the right show that I grew up on. ❤️
Summer Holiday special on BBC in the early 80's. Good times
Best thing to come out of Japan since Godzilla and Speed Racer😊
How many others recall that Hoyt Curtin (credited with the BOTP theme) was also the composer responsible for the iconic themes from JONNY QUEST and SUPER FRIENDS? The man was animation studios' go-to music guy for a reason!
BOY THAT MUSIC WAS EPIC.
Will never forget this awesomeness
It turns out, 45 years later, I’m not the only one who sung “Sandy Frank” to the theme. MST3K touched on it too, I’m sure others in the comments agree.
In the late 90’s and Early 2000’s no one born past the late 70’s believed the show even existed until I showed them DVDs. In my area, in canada, there was no other anime except for Star Blazers or Space captain Harlock(and those were only on French TV). Anyway, the best in the 70’s were Battle of the planets and Jonny Quest reruns.
We had it in syndication in Los Angeles, which aired at 6AM. Talk about motivation to get up early on school day mornings. Mom sure was thankful for that.
Don't forget Speed Racer .
GIVES ME THE CHILLS!!!!!!!!!
This is great. I don't even need to touch the screen to listen to that intro a second time 😁
Same here, thankfully.
I loved G-Force as a kid!! One of my happiest moments was the year i had a Battle of the Planets lunchbox!!! Many years later as an adult when Gatchaman came out on bluray i got the boxset immediately. There was a BOTP comic from Image? or maybe Top Cow? the run was short but greatly plotted and the art was also nice.
12 regular issues, plus a spotlight special on Mark, another spotlight special on Jason, two (very different) Thundercats crossover specials, a Princess/Witchblade bookshelf format special, and several black and white issues marketed as "the Manga" before the steam ran out on the project
Also, the "Battle Book," which was their equivalent of Marvel's "Official Handbook."
TAKES ME ALL THE WAY BACK BABY....1970 WAS WHEN I WAS BORN!!!!!! MAN I WANNA CRY IT MAKES ME FEEL REALLY GOOD TO KNOW I WAS AROUND DURING GROUND BREAKING CARTOONS OF THIS ERA!!!!!! THEY'LL LIVE FOREVER IN MY HEART AND MIND!!!!!!
OMG!
This brought back MANY fond memories!
Thank you for posting this!
This show and "Star Blazers" were my favorite shows growing up!
I grew up watching both shows that were shown on a independent, locally owned tv station called WCCB-TV, channel 18 back in the late 70's/early 80's in Charlotte, NC.
I'm Glad to see i'm not the only person who got to watch this great TV show and felt privilaged to watch such great Japanese Anime from this era from my teen years.
The voice talent was awesome!
If it ever got remade, it wouldn't be the same, BUT!
If it WAS to be remade, i'd bee willing to watch it? With today's animation amd technology, I think it could be feasible?
I lived for this show as a little kid. Thank you for posting this
I loved this show. Still hopeful for a remake with today's animation technology.
Providing that they're as faithful as possible to the original, without fucking it up straight to hell.
@@redpyramid1914 Why? it's litterally avalible in HD, it dosen't need a remake
Why, you ask?
For a whole new generation, and all that, with modern everything, including within the Phoenix.
Plus, for the first time, we might have the chance to see what Zoltar's leader really looks like, not just Zoltar himself when finally unmasked.
Food for thought.
There were several "remakes" of the original "Gatchaman" series that Sandy Frank Prod. used in the BotP series. Several OAVs, a series called "Gatchaman Crowds", and if I recall correctly, a Live Action movie of "Gatchaman" was created as well.
Battle of the Planets also had some "revisions/redos" done as well, but most were re-edits, with recast voices and stories that were more derived from the original Sandy Frank series than anything else. "G-Force" and "Eagle Riders" are two that spring to mind.
It would take a truly dedicated fan of the original BotP series to even begin to head up a re-launch or even a re-master of the series.
No thanks today's animation is not as good and they would only ruin it with unnecessary agenders
Mark: All Members Of G-Force, Prepare To Transmute To The Firey Phoenix!
BATTLE OF THE PLANETS!
Transmute..all members of G Force assemble .
Transmute was cool, but “Bird Go!” Rules them all! 👊
I tell you what, we bloody need someone like this to sort world out
Casey Kasem was the voice of Mark and Alan Young was 7 Zark 7.
Man I hated 7 zark 7. So glad they did not put him into the later version of gatchman they did which was closer to the original.
Keye Luke voiced Zoltar.
Hairs standing up on the back of my neck. This was awesome!!!
Best cartoon and theme tune ever
*Thanks for the memories!* 🤗
"7-Zark-7"was so very cool!! 😮
BEST SHOW EVER 😢
My childhood tv show. I remember l ran home after school so l won't miss watching it. Everytime l look at the clock at school 3:15 l am out and G-Force started at 4:00. Those were the good old days. I would like to see them make a espoide capturing zoltar finally and reveal who he is. This was the best to watch.
Ah yeah, the days of "missing" an episode. Kids today will never know the struggle we endured.
1978, On BBC1 between four and four thirty Monday Tea Time, In UK, I was 7, Now I'm knocking the Big 50...
I still had"nightmares about one episode where Zoltar had these alien spores wreaking havoc that Force was unable to contain,as Zoltar continually repeated:"The SPORES,the SPORES!!" I felt as was doomed as a kid because of those darn spores!! 😮
Battle of the Planets may be the watered down version of Gatchaman- but this theme is undeniably amazing.
The original theme song takes some beating, but this brilliant, bombastic piece of music manages to do it. Still holding out hope they'll make a live-action film (or even TV series!) one day, with a decent budget. The Japanese live action some years back was not so great.
Agreed, that live action movie was a travesty to Gatchaman.
The trailer looked half-way exciting and then the movie bombed, as far as being something a long-time Gatchaman fan would approve of.
Watching this masterpiece on ch 11 wpix in NY. In the pre transformers, pre he-man, pre gi joe era. In the early 80's. Wow.
We had NO GOTTDAMN Idea just how lucky we were, Did we?!?!?😭Not EVEN a CLUE!!😩😫
This made me SO glad to have been born in the SEVENTIES!! 😂
i can pause the upskirts now that i wasnt able to do back then
👍🏼👍🏼
That was and still is soooo 70's AWESOME!!
love that, dedicated, inseperrable, invincible.
Man this takes me back! To this day this remains my favorite anime intro thanks to the music alone 😁👍
Life really was better back then.
Before Transformers,before Thundercats,There was G Force! Battle of the Planets was the first cartoon I was so into as a kid,and thanks to a local TV station I could watch it every day back in the 70s!
Give it up for channel 11 in dfw in tx. They showed this and star blazers in the 70,s. I was 8 when this came on. Love this show brings back good memories. Kinda sad too cause most of my family and friends arent here now. Those were happier better times back then i miss them
This and starblazers had the best intro! I used to run home after school to watch!
*¡enjoyed at 8:31 am Pacific Daylight Savings Time on Sunday, 21 August 2022!*
Thank You,Thank You,Thank You‼️🙏😢
Wonderful themes, I remember it when I was 5 years old, thanks for share it.
Janet Waldo as the voice of Princess.
My childhood. ..sigh
I came home from school one day and this show was just gone.....
As a 6 year old in the UK in 1979 - O Luminous One used to terrify me!!!
Legendary.....
Memories...
@tony s Ah mate, it's a time I'll never forget...
I was most fortunate to have seen the cartoon myself when I was a kid myself.
@tony s May I please add my name to the list?
Sat afternoon I watched BOTP I sure miss it today because most young people were not born when this animated series was on TV.
@@martinpatrick1746 Being born in 1974 certainly more than afforded me the chance to have watched it.
Fortunately, I was born at the right time.
Awesome. When Mark salutes, that was the moment I always waited for. Thank you for uploading this.
Many of the voiceovers in BOTP did multiple characters, not just their normal ones in the series.
Kids today will never understand!! They missed out! #AfterSchoolCartoons #SaturdayMorningCartoons #GForce!!
Loved this when I was a kid. Glad I finally got to so a later version translated much closer to the original gatchaman.
G-FORCE WAS REALLY MY INTRODUCTION TO ANINE IN 1986. And the Fantastic opening theme music was even more upbeat and thrilling than S.W. lol. Now thanks to y.t. I can watch these shows all over again. Without my siblings hogging the TV downstairs in the old family room.
Ronny Schell was the voice of Jason.
Anyone notice Alan Young as the voice of 7-Zark-7? Who was he? Hmm... remember the show with the talking horse, Mr. Ed? That guy.
He was also the voice of Scrooge McDuck on Ducktales back in the 80's.
@@dootuss83 Fun fact: Before Alan's passing away, he also revived Scrooge for the "Duck Tales Remastered" video game.
That would be Alan Young.
3 people didn't like this really what did they expect the hamsters G-Force
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 they are probably millennials that never know what gatchaman was about
I will always love this cartoon
No matter how old I get
And Voltron defender of the universe
I wonder how many people found out what mechan anime "Voltron" was from. I'm guessing not as many who know Battle Of The Planets and G-Force were Gatchaman.
@@skylinefever That varied depending on which season of Voltron you were watching. The first season used footage from Beast King GoLion. The second season used footage from Armored Fleet Dairugger XV.
That Soundtrack .........
Great cartoon.
I heard some of theme in an episode (or more) of CHALLENGE OF THE SUPERFRIENDS; specifically "Demons of Exxor". 🤔
There's another outro where the footage is the same but remixed in different order. The music at 3:55 is where Jun launches off the bike/waterfall in another version.
This is the Best intro for a cartoon Speed Racer Thundercats Thundarr the Barbarian also were good intros
Ah, you missed the unique pilot opening to "Attack of the Space Terrapin," which drew its footage from "Attack of the Space Terrapin" and "Panic of the Peacock," had a different series title logo, a different insert shot of Zark with an off-model Mark scowling at him from the big monitor screen, and the soundtrack punctuated by disco-sounding laser blasts at points where the Space Terrapin fires and the Peacock shoots its eye beams.
3:16 to 3:21 - that spacecraft and the lighting behind it is so cool, given this was made in 1972 (the original japanese version)
Last time I saw this was on Bravo UK's TV channel just before got into Reality TV.
I tried to steal the Phoenix from this store in San Francisco, but got caught!! Lol!!
I like how the end credits list almost a dozen American writers and no mention at all of the original writers in Japan.
From back in the day when we were all being subconsciously groomed as Cold-Warriors!
😅😮😮😅😅well and well information good show you can get 😅😅
wish they made a live action series about this.. or movie
They did make a live action movie for Gatchaman
ruclips.net/video/r56XwTGidsU/видео.html
They made a live action version of Gatchaman which is what Battle of the Planets was translated from. It was terrible, I couldn't finish it. It was that bad. And I am a die hard fan
0:19 Sandy frank, sandy frank, He's the source of all our pain...
MST3K!! So true!!
Well, he also gave us *YOU ASKED FOR IT,* *FACE THE MUSIC,* and the venerable *NAME THAT TUNE,* so I guess his offerings weren't all that bad.
The late William Woodson also voice the Super Bowl 2 Highlight film done by NFL Films in 1968.
He voiced the opening of Battle of the Planets.
I didn't see the show as a kid, though I should have, but from listening to the narration and soundtrack I wondered if it was dubbed by the same team that made Superfriends?
Alan Young as 7-Zark-7, is he any relation to Willie Young who played centre back for Arsenal in the early 80’s??
G FORCE had a very small voice cast and they often did multiple voices in each episode. Like Mr. Keye Luke was evil Zoltar and also the Mystic Spirit spoken with the added echo effects. And Janet Waldo was Princess as well as Judy Jetson and Penelope Pitstop, and ROCKET J. SQUIRREL with Bullwinkle Moose, and in Warner Brothers as Granny and Witch Hazel!!!!!. Alan Young was 7-ZARK-7 AND... KEOPS with the bubbling voice. And The Chief was also Tiny as the big pilot of The Fiery Phoenix!!!!! As well as many of the background voices and other characters. 3/31/2022 A.D.
WOW! That's some wrong info you got there!! Janet Waldo was NOT the voice of Rocket J. Squirrel, or Granny, or Witch Hazel. That credit goes to June Foray!! Get your facts straight before posting such comments!
When I was a kid grew up watching the butchered American Version of Battle of The Planets. I have the soundtrack album which is cool. But Gatchaman I love because it’s uncut
The real japanese version is so much clever and epic, indeed... Yet, the opening music of BotP has a real nice touch.
I loved getting to see the ADV subtitled Gatchaman. It was like getting to watch everything the first time, all over again.
There's actually 3 of them, an earlier one with a different logo than the star wars styled one, used primarilly for the show's pilot and possibly the first few episodes ruclips.net/video/BAhHza98DwM/видео.html
(And technically 4 if you count the 90's movie)
Are you also counting Gatchaman? The Japanese originals wasn't space based. They didn't have all the Star Wars stuff tossed in.
@@nighthawk20011 No. Because i'm specifically talking about BOTP.
if u really wanted to go woke ... try going princess. female character who wasnt weak, and only needed saving in exactly one episode out of the entire run of this show. THATS a strong female lead character. And, she had the two male leads fighting over her :p on top of all that she probably awakened a lot of boys from the 70s into sexual curiosity.
Please stop using "Woke" when you mean "progressive".
Yes, Princess (Jun in the original Gatchaman) wasn't a total DiD (Damsel in Distress). She could hold her own against Zoltar and the Luminous One's minions. The one episode she needed saving from was also one of the episodes where Zoltar's forces nearly uncovered the identity of G-Force (she was captured trying to recover her lost shoe, which had the ability to transform into the boot of her G-Force outfit).
I don't recall if the original Gatchaman had Jun being "fought over" by Ken and Jo (aka Mark and Jason), but I believe that wrinkle was thought up by the US Writers over at Sandy Frank Productions.
Is it just me or is the Pheonix's horizontal stabilizer the same shape as Voltar's collar .
