Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

waiching liu Back in the 80s, The A-Team was one of the biggest TV hits to grace Western television, both in the US and UK respectively. Its combination of live-action sequences, odd humour and end-to-end action won the hearts of millions of people and garnered new fans in the process. Following on from The A-Team's phenomenon, animation company Ruby Spears wanted that success to continue through transition by creating and releasing a cartoon series based on the exploits of one of the A-team cast members, MR. T who played BA Baracus in the original show.In Mister T: The Animated Series, the 'Gold-chained one', was a coach to a group of kids, who ply their trade as gymnasts and together, they solved mysteries and caught the bad guys. The show would open with a opening title sequence and the appearances of the main characters and then afterwards, there would be a live- action type of segment where Mr T basically explains, what I refer to as, the synopsis of the episode. The episode is then shown and the initial problem is then resolved, in the end. The show is concluded when Mr T, in live action mode, then explains the moral of the story and teaching kids not to talk to strangers and things like trust, respect and the importance of friendship, for example. He also pointed his finger at the camera, in a 'don't mess with me' style and uttering: 'Take it from me Mr T!'.It can be a tad cheesy and to some they may see this as embarrassing or stupid-which it's not, but Mister T's brief success did span other TV/film based crossovers/adaptations/spin-offs for the cartoon market back in the 80s. These included, The Gary Coleman Show, Rambo, It's Punky Brewster, Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos and Police Academy- all created by Ruby Spears Production. The only thing I Wished Mr T had done more often, was that he would frequently utter his famous lines from The A-Team, such as: 'I Pity The Fool', 'Shut up fool' and 'I ain't getting on no plane, fool!'. Something on the lines of that.Whilst Mister T came across as a 'hard man' as BA,who took no crap from no one in the A-Team, in the cartoon series, he is more laid back and not as angry and aggressive as he was in the A-Team. But then again, this was a kids cartoon and so, Mister T was a hero to many kids back then, who looked up to him and saw that despite his mean streak, in the show, he demonstrated he had a lot of heart and that he cared so much for the kids, who show a lot of faith and respect to him.Overall, despite the cheesy overtones this show might give off, this is quite an entertaining cartoon that has an educational theme to it. So take it from THE Mister T, watch this show and you will see, what this show might mean to you and me!

voicemaster71 If you ask me what are some of the things I remember about the 80's one of them is Mr. T. I knew who the guy was, but was not yet watching the A Team. It wasn't until this cartoon of Mr. T came on in 1983 that I finally began watching the A Team on Tuesday nights. Plus in 83, I missed the SuperFriends on Saturday mornings and needed something action oriented to watch that year. In live action, he was B.A. Baracus on the A Team, but in animation, Mr. T played himself and he was a coach and protector of a group of teenage gymnastics who were on tour all over the US. And like the Scooby Doo characters, they solved mysteries and cracked cases. It's been 20+ years since I've seen this and I can't believe I still remember most of the characters. Alongside Mr. T, you had a lady named Ms. Bisby, who was a pretty mild mannered lady who helped drive the bus and assisted in many ways. As for the teen gymnasts, you had Robin, The red headed girl with the freckles who was obviously the leadership figure of the teens.Kim, the Asian girl who was the brains and had the photographic memory.Jeff, the handsome and apparently rich whitebread guy with a massive ego. Sometimes you just wanted to strangle him.And Woody, the young well educated black guy with intelligence and a good head on his shoulder. Woody was introduced as the new guy in the first episode. And I was amazed to discover that he was voiced over by MAD TV's Phil Lamarr, who later voiced over Green Lantern on the Justice League (Unlimited) series. There were other teen gymnasts like Garcia, Vince, and Courtney, but their roles were not as big as the four I've mentioned. Last but not least, for comic relief, you had a dog with a mohawk named Dozer, and Robin's little bratty kid brother named Spike who was a Mr. T wannabe. This little snot would mostly speak in a voice imitating Mr. T. To me, Spike was to Mr. T what Marvin and Wonder Dog were to Superman on the SuperFriends. Annoying nuisances. But aside from that, Mr. T was a great cartoon and it was something to watch in 83 until the SuperFriends were back on Saturdays the following year. And I enjoyed that notion that a tough guy like Mr. T could be a good role model and teach lessons. TAKE IT FROM ME!! MR T!! Two thumbs Up!!!

MovieCriticMarvelfan First of, this show is not really a spinoff, and no Mr. T was not a guest star!! He was actually in every episode (Duh the name of the cartoon is Mr. T).This is one the great early cartoon which talked to morals to kids in every episode like He-Man and G.I Joe.In fact, Mr. T, often gave out advice that is almost stupid and obvious today, but most parents did not tell their kids!!!T often told his "kids" not to talk to strangers and develop a special code with their kids, in case a stranger was picking them up , impersonation a friend of the family!!!!Geez imagine how many less missing and exploited childrenm there be if someone told them this? ManyOverall it's a great cartoon and like Mr. T. "I Pity the Fool", who says it isnt.Give a 9 out of 10

inspectordark Yes even u can have a cartoon show in the 80's.All u have to do is have a catch phase and hit tv show.Like Mr T, only thing is this show did not live up to Mr T that much.and the kids took away a lot from the show.Also here is some fact, the show is kind of a spin off from the Chipmucks where he was a guest star.
