So your argument is based on urban legends and not anything actually true?
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Just look at the castle in The Little Mermaid. I've seen the "SEX" in Lion King. And I heard the "Take your clothes off" Line in Aladdin.

The "Sex" thing could easily be "SFX", people hear lines that they are told to hear all the time (Paul is dead), and you've actually got the Little Mermaid story wrong. It's not the castle towers in the films, it's the ones on the video cover.

Here is the scene in question:
Look's like S-E-X to me.
Here's a scene from "The Rescuers"
I'd like to see you tell me THAT'S a myth!
Ok. so Maybe the Aladdin thing is a myth. When I noticed it I pointed it out to everyone in the room and they all heard it as well.

I'm probably forgetting a few. I also liked X-Men (ish) and loved ReBoot, but I consider those a little after my Golden Age. Batman barely squeaks in under the wire.
Incidentally, the Series 2 action figure for Dot Matrix has serious cameltoe... which, incidentally, so does the original Cheetara figure. I sometimes wonder about those sculptors.

You like M.A.S.K. He-Man & Thundercats but Batman TAS just squeeks under the wire? Crazy kid.
As for the filth cropping up in children's entertainment. Bare in mind that most animators an artist are relativly young men who spend far too much time indoors (said the pot to the kettle) so they're going to start to find subtle ways to amuse themselves. While we're chipping in examples if I recall Jessica Rabbit totally does a Sharon Stone in "Who Framed Rodger Rabbit".

Space Battleship Yamato was allright...still pretty awful by today's storytelling standards.
Silverhawks was...real bad. I mean, one of them used a sonic weapon in space. All of them flew around with ni helmets/masks on- talking to each other.
Only the time traveling Silverhawk (the green one) from the future was cool.

There was one british Sci-Fi show I used to watch whenever I got access to Sky Channel in the 80's, I think I've asked about it earlier sometime on Flare but I don't recall.
It was set in the future, the walls were in spray-paint metal or tin foil, half the cast I think were cyborg or rag-tag rebels, the main antagonist was a tall, bald man with a Locutus eye-laser and large gauntlets I think, it must've been shot in 1984-86, pretty decent image quality ( shot with indoor camera).
Kind of L.E.X.X meets Babsian 5, if that helps.
Later, circa 1990-91, there was a show with a dark-haired girl as main character, she and her people seemed to live in a utopia of some sort and many of them were psychic or gifted in some way, and all were dressed in white. Like in that sanctuary place the Occampa stayed in, in "Caretaker". That show "felt" like Seaquest but stocked with british people in some sci-fi dimension. I only remember one scene from that one, the girl is running through an exploding or imploding corridor but you don't see if she makes it because it was a summary from the previous episode.

Is that how it is? So, you wish to test your strength. Good. Good. So pointless, with you protecting people who don't care a thing about you. For what?
Come to think of it, it might have been a magic show, with those folks dressed in white doing magic instead of mind-powers.

I'm sorry that my kids are missing out on all the great Looney Tunes cartoons because they've moved them off Cartoon Network and onto Boomerang, which is a digital-only channel. I know my son would love seeing Daffy, Bugs, Marvin, the Coyote, etc. if he would only get the chance.
And speaking of WB cartoons, how could you people forget the Animaniacs?!?? Hello, Nurse! That was, in my opinion, the last cartoon to really capture what the Looney Tunes cartoons had.
