Your fav Classic cartoon openings

YouTube - Speed Racer Opening

Speed racer

I agree and add
SPiderman 67, Starbalzers and 8th Man for me

[Wee67]

Johny Quest was definitely cool, but the driving bass of the first SuperFriends open always psyches me up to be disappointed with a super-powerless hour of cartoons.
YouTube - SuperFriends (1973) - OPENING

[censy]

all anime, all the time.

Kimba, Speed Racer, Battle of the Planets and Star Blazers.

I realize these are the americanized titles and openings, but they still get me excited.

Many of these shows had better openings than actual episodes.

Every version of the Super Friends has a superior opening. I used to love the Challenge opening, but honestly I've grown kind of tired of it. The first one I remember was the "All-New Super Friends Hour" opening, and I hadn't seen it for years until about a year or so ago I caught it on Boomerang. The SF's silhouettes against that rainbow backdrop as they fly out from the Hall of Justice. That pan shot of their heads and shoulders as the trumpets blare. The cool Alex Toth drawings of Batman and Robin...it gives me goose bumps now! The show rarely got that good (if ever), but the opening represented what the characters meant to me in my little mind.

GI Joe's opening still gets me going apparently. Every time we went in a store and I saw that 25th anniversary RAH figure set I had to push that button to hear the theme. My wife finally got sick of it and yanked it out of my hand and bought it for me, even though I don't collect GI Joe!

In 85,.. I was like 10. I remember the 1st time I saw this logo.



& Then it took off, flew in Space , to a planet & Some Cat guy was swinging around a sword.




Saying " Thunder, Thunder Thunder... ThunderCats HOOOOOOO"





OOOhh, man was this the Coolest Intro I have ever scene !!! Man, was I excited for this toon. Made me wanna go buy a sword & learn some Kung-FU in a hurry.




Even the Logo was cool.
I think this intro holds up today as well. Has to be the best intro ever IMO. I still think it's the Best ever.
... The Cartoon it's self stays in the 85 time period though.

Here's my favorite:
YouTube - Johnny Quest original opener

Wow, that thing packs some punch. I had completely forgotten about that zam-bang opening! From mummies to robotic spiders to cutesy puppy-dog antics, JQ had it all!

1) '67 Spider-Man
2) Marvel Super-Heroes - all of them - too cool
3) G-Force
4) Speed Racer
5) YouTube - Prince Planet

Hmmmm....

Thundarr the Barbarian. You got the moon splitting in half, California sliding into the sea and a tidal wave wiping out the East coast IN THE OPENING ALONE!!!! Now THAT'S what cartoons are all about!

Mighty Orbots. One of the bestest openings ever!

I gotta disagree, Hec ..........

I know my Classic Trek Nerd membership card is going to be taken away for saying this ...
