One of the best films i have seen

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Casey Duggan
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Roger Ramjet is an American 1965 animation series of short length episodes about a heroic man and his assistants known as the eagles (after, presumably, the American national emblem the bald eagle). The good people in the series are the Americans, who fight the bad villains such as the solenoid robots. The theme tune, with the notes of 'yankee doodle went to town', explains the simplistic manner in which Roger faces the enemy, his usage of 'proton pills', which give him superhuman strength a bit like the magic potion in asterix. The show is quite entertaining. It has a very American feel to it, but it is still quite amusing to watch.

It was only a matter of time before ROGER RAMJET was released on DVD, just like most every classic TV show that ever existed (MY MOTHER THE CAR, anyone?). The bad animation and goofy dialog(much of which appeared in words on screen- often misspelled on purpose)add to the appeal of this lost classic cartoon series. I can more fully appreciate the humor now than when I was eight years old and took cartoons more seriously. I would highly recommend this series to anyone who feels the same way I do-believe me, it's that much better 40 years later.You won't escape the awful fate of proton's mighty fury! Rating: ***** out of *****

The above is part of the Roger Ramjet theme song. Roger Ramjet was a buffoon, a clown, an idiot, and a fool. In short, he was a do- gooder. His groupies were four awe-struck kids named Yank,Doodle, Dan, and Dee. RR was a member of the American Eagle Squadron. His strength came from his proton energy pill whichgave him the power of twenty atom bombs for twenty seconds. Iused to watch it when I was a kid New Hampshire. My favorite RR episode was the Christmas one where RR was hypnotized by an evil magician and made to think that he was a little kid. GaryOwens of Laugh In was the voice of Roger Ramjet. He was alsothe voice of Space Ghost. Both are good classic cartoons.

Animaniacs is in my opinion the best cartoon ever made, but Roger Ramjet comes right behind it. The animation is not smooth and continuous like most cartoons; it is stop-action animation that makes it seem like the animators weren't any good. But it was done that way on purpose. This form of animation adds a lot to the cartoon's humor. All the characters are well done and have good voices. I love the way some of the dialogue and narrative just come up as words on the screen (and sometimes some misspellings done on purpose). You should definitely check out the DVDs. Roger Ramjet should be every kid's hero.
