SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
kfbjaff I used to watch this cartoon religiously and only recently remembered that I did so. Everyone has their favorite that they remember of course, mine was Bogey the Orangutan that always did the Humphrey Bogart impressions (shweethaaaht!!!) A group of helpful little animals that lived in a tree/secret hideout in a park. They would help kids in trouble, rescue when necessary and all on the down lo as to not give away their secret identities as the Shirt T-T-Tales. They all had different colored t-shirts that would all be identically colored when on a mission. But the shirts would always blink with an emotion for what they were talking about. Like if Pammy the panda was scared she would gasp and her shirt would blink OH-NO!!! or something like that. Mr Dinkle was the grounds keeper, park ranger or something that was always suspected there was something odd about the little critters in that tree but could never prove anything. It was a great show. I wish it was still on for my kids to watch now, much more appropriate than some other cartoons that are on these days.
cadethoskins This is one of the greatest show of the 1980s. In my mind, I think a cartoon studio should look at this nostalgic series and have a new version of the series air for the 21st century generation. I don't care what anybody says. This show is a very interesting series. It's not for babies, it's for everyone. I hope it comes back. If He-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and other show get revived. I think it's only fair.
kaimal Unfortunately, there is not much I remember of this cartoon. I had the lunchbox and it served me well. I talk to my friends about the cartoon, and they seem to only remember their favorite character. Mine was the raccoon, but I don't really remember anyone else. However, this doesn't mean that I didn't care about the show because I did have the lunchbox. I find it unfortunately fitting that this show, along with the many others (Pac-man, kidd video, the smurfs, real ghostbusters,et al) that I am forgetting, represent my quietly fading childhood.
gynyzyss Sweet Jesus! I cannot believe that no one has already commented on this spectacle of modern entertainment; a cartoon about the crazy adventures of a troupe of zany animals that wear "magical" shirts. The details of the show are still really sketchy, since I haven't seen this epic masterpiece since I was about twelve. I remember that the supposed "leader" of the gang is a stupid tiger, who always gets sidelined by the REAL stars of the show: Digger the Mole and the Bogey the Monkey, who was a simian representation of Humphrey Bogart (complete with cigar!!!! Not really; it was a banana...). For the sake of animal rights, I will also mention Rick the Raccoon. The stupid tiger had a female counterpart, Pammy Panda. Again, I can't remember certain things, like the rest of the animals, but I do remember that they were really into "S&M"........I can't back that up. The premise of the show was simple: they live in a tree in the middle of a park and a laugh riot would always ensue! When trouble, usually in the form of velociraptors appeared, the group would "activate" their shirts, a la "Care Bear stare". This act would call the legions of Jedi, namely Luke "I Gotta' Robot Hand" Skywalker. His entrance always involved the Millenium Falcon swooping down with Luke hanging on to the giant bird's tail-feathers. Then he got totally wicked on the army of Decepticons with his trusty Sword of Omens. I know what you're thinkin': "Why did they cancel this show!?", right? Well, we live in a very cruel world, my friend. Oh, I almost forgot about the totally boss intro where Ponch and John are riding their motorbikes side-by-side down the Los Angeles freeway!A cruel world indeed.
