I just wanted to get peoples input on this. What do you think is the greatest action cartoon ever? My greatest is Dragonballz. Even though it is an anime I think it is still the greatest Action Cartoon ever. Just want to hear some other peoples thoughts.

I think it would by far be the Ninja Turtles...I mean come on I swear I saw that opening theme on the billboard top 10 at one point!

I guess I'll have to go with Akira or Castle in the Sky or Iron Giant.

as far as television goes, probably Cowboy Bebop.

Movie? Um...hmm...I'll have to think more.

and if we're going to further our explorations with our opinions on worst action cartoons... Dragonball Z gets my vote.

gah! I loved Darkwing Duck! I dunno if it counts as action or comedy though.


OH!!! Dangermouse has to be up there.

As a kid, Tale Spin used to be one of my favs... but these days I've been watching Cowboy Bebop and that show has some killer action sequences.

Yeah, I loved watching DD along with Tale Spin, even though I found out later that it was a total rip off of "Porco Roso." Ok then, how about the old Johnny Quest? Nothing like two grown men, two boys and a dog jetting around the world with out a woman in sight.... um, er :D Still kicked @$$ though.

there are a few animation movies that have really left an impression.

remember the "Galaxy Rangers" ?
It used to be a animated series during the early 90s ?
there were so many during that time... :p
"sabre rider"
"the visionaries"
"voltron"
"the thunder cats"
"Robotech"

they are too numerous...

Remember the "transformers" ?
At the time, I thought that was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen !!!!
:rolleyes:

hum...
that's tricky question...
are we talking about the greatest movie or series??
also..
are we talking about adventure as well as action??
as a kid , i saw
LE ROI ET L"OISEAU.. a film by PAUL GRIMAULT , and i attribute much of what i am doing now to be inspired by it..

http://membres.lycos.fr/fierrots/europe/grimault/roietoiseau.html

it's an adventure that has some action, but would probably look slow compare to, let's say , aeon flux or robotech

And, as far as series goes.
LA LINEA.. that litle line character that would act out all his shows was just phenomenal


I think i may be off limits here though.
Lol

Another greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat adventure/action one was " les mysterieuses cites d'or"

Article Champion, anyone? One day...

The original early-90s X-Men was pretty sweet, even if the animation was limited...the character designs were right on par and the action sequences were well thought out...
