One of the best things about Youtube is listening to the intro tunes of old cartoons.

This is pretty dope IMO, especially the beat during the first verse.

Tuomas, Sunday, 19 July 2009 15:00 (fifteen years ago)

This still gives me chills:

This is great too, nice bassline! I didn't remember Disney cartoons had such funky themes.

Not badly animated either.

I've never heard of The Mysterious Cities of Gold, but the intro is pretty dope. The song sounds like it's from the 1970s, and it looks like it was animated in Japan.

Tuomas, Sunday, 19 July 2009 15:06 (fifteen years ago)

It was mid-80s, and I believe it was a French/Japanese co-production. It was a fucking epic cartoon.

Actually, I think is the best intro theme from Disney's late 80s/early 90s cartoons was in TailSpin. Hu uh hu uh uh uh hu uh hu!

I always thought the theme for the Asterix animated movies is incredible catchy! Great synthpop sound too!

Tuomas, Sunday, 19 July 2009 15:23 (fifteen years ago)

Whoa, apparently the theme was done by Plastic Bertrand, best known for "Ca plane pour moi"!

This show about a little panda bear was very popular in Finland back in the 80s. You can see the difference between European and American animation back then by just comparing this intro to other ones in this thread.

Can't forget this one, of course:

Okay one of the best threads ever already. Carry on.

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 19 July 2009 15:58 (fifteen years ago)

I'm quite sure some funk/soul tune has the same horn riff as the She-Ra intro... Does anyone remember which one?

Tuomas, Sunday, 19 July 2009 15:59 (fifteen years ago)

these were the very first things I looked up when YouTube debuted.

I don't think so. But judging from the amount of detail they took right out of his stories I'd guess he had a big part in overseeing the production. Sad this is all we have, isn't it?
