Cartoons From the 1970s Have Flair

2017-12-06T11:16:00.001-06:00

Cartoons from the seventies have flair like nothing else since. These are cartoons that can invoke great memories of your younger years. Many people grew up on cartoons as a kid and it is likely that you have your favorite. Cartoons are something that can be viewed by anyone of any age.

You cannot talk about cartoons of the seventies without thinking about Captain Caveman. The famous Teen Angels set Captain Caveman free from a chunk of ice. He then had the title of the world’s first superhero. He then goes on to solve crime with the help of his friends. He always carried a club and he has a famous way of yelling his name.

Devlin was a cartoon in this time frame that was based on Evil Knievel. The main characters name was Ernie Devlin and he worked in a circus. Both of his parents were gone and he was in charge of raising two younger siblings in this cartoon. This cartoon was a drama variety and each week the siblings were involved in new kind of mystery they had to solve.

Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids ran from the 1970’s to the 1980’s. This was a cartoon that was widely popular. The creator Bill Cosby was already very famous and this was a cartoon that he created. Bill Cosby was also the voice of several of the characters on this cartoon series. The show was loosely based on Bill Cosby’s childhood. There was always an educational message learned from watching this show.

This was also one of the only cartoons of the time to feature an African American cast. This was a show that dealt with issues like poverty and other “real” issues. This is something that many other Saturday morning television shows did not cover. This is a show that was accepted by children all over the United States from many different backgrounds.

The Harlem Globetrotters also had a cartoon during the seventies. They also made guest appearances on the Scooby Doo Show. The Globetrotters encountered hurdles that they would need to overcome during each episode. The Globetrotters were very popular in the seventies and still are to this day.

Cartoons from the seventies are numerous. Picking your favorite one can be very difficult. This is often the memory that many people have of their Saturday morning as a child. This is a time that many people spent with a sibling and these can be some very powerful memories.

Knothead, Splinter Introduced

2015-07-15T10:05:00.001-05:00

I always wondered where the first appearance of Knothead and Splinter happened (in cartoons, not comics). According to Wikipedia, it is in the cartoon Get Lost.

Get Lost is the 67th animated cartoon short subject in the Woody Woodpecker series. Released theatrically on March 12, 1956, the film was produced by Walter Lantz Productions and distributed by Universal-International, per Wiki.

Woody is reading the story of Hansel and Gretel to his nephew Knothead and his niece Splinter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Lost_(film)

Knothead and Splinter first appeared in New Funnies in 1952.

Marvel Wants X-Men Back

2015-05-10T10:31:00.005-05:00

In the most expected news since Hugh Jackman signing up for another Wolverine movie, Kevin Feige would like to see the X-Men come back under the Marvel fold. Just because we all assumed that was the feeling over at Marvel doesn't make this any less exciting, however, and it could mean promising things for the future.

Visit Recreational Parks, Mickey Mouse, Woody Woodpecker in Orlando

2015-03-07T23:31:00.002-06:00

Below is a cool article I found on another site. It was written by Austin Marsh. I found this while doing some research on Florida, where my family is thinking of going for a vacation.

If you live in Florida and are thinking for a place to have a weekend trip with your family, then consider visiting Walt Disney World. This place of recreation is situated 21 miles southwest of Orlando in Lake Buena Vista, a beautiful city in the state. It is one such destination where both local and foreign tourists take pleasure to visit whenever they get a chance.

Walt Disney World in Orlando covers an area of 30,080-acre of land and is considered as the largest Disney land in the entire world. It consist of 4 themed parks, 2 water parks, 23 resorts and hotels having facilities like campground, health spas, fitness centers and other places for amusement. By visiting this place, you can indulge yourself in various fun-filled activities which are hardly expected in any other kind of recreational venues.

Take a look at tourist activities in the Walt Disney World in Orlando that you would surely want to include in your trip:

• Enjoy a ride on railroad (a steam engine) and capture the scenic vista around the park.

• Take a walk towards the Mickey's Toontown fair and get a chance to meet the popular Disney characters.

• Visit Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique which is a beauty salon and let your beloved daughter dress like a princess.

• Shop some appealing souvenirs, outfits of Disney character and attractive accessories from the Emporium store in the Magic Kingdom.

• Take a magical spin via magic carpets of Aladdin. Each carpet is being equipped with buttons to adjust the movement as per the requirements.

Besides the above mentioned activities, there are more things to do in the Walt Disney World. After discovering the beauty of Disney land, you can also consider visiting the Universal Studio Park in Orlando. The park has themed sections with name like Production Central, New York, San Francisco, World Expo, Woody Woodpecker's Kidzone and Hollywood. The kids will love to take rides in the junior roller coaster at the Woody Woodpecker's Kidzone and you would not mind walking through the greatest monuments in the Hollywood section.

Now, if you want to experience memorable trip to both Walt Disney World and Universal Studio, then you can consider seeking assistance from companies which provide vacation packages. Some reputed tour service providers will help you to book tickets to the amusement parks in advance and also at discount rates.

So, get set to visit the dream-like recreational lands and create memories to be cherished forever.
