Ep. 290: #Animaniacs Reboot Review | Saturday Mourning Cartoons
November 21, 2020 12:00 - 55 minutes - 50.5 MBHulu has resurrected the Warner Brothers and the Warner Sister for the highly anticipated reboot of Animaniacs. The 13-episode first season (of a total of two ordered so far) is now available to binge-watch on Hulu. Not everyone is super thrilled at the manner in which Yakko, Wakko, and Dot return -- evidenced by our own Gregory Lawrence's review, which you can read here -- so we thought we'd take a look at this "legacy-quel" for ourselves. I was joined by regular Collider contributor Rafa...

Ep. 289: Bobby's World Review
October 31, 2020 13:00 - 1 hour - 70.5 MBWhether or not you're a child of the 1990s, you can probably appreciate the adorable cuteness of Bobby Generic, the lead character of Bobby's World. It might creep you out a little bit to learn that the Fox Kids' animated series co-creator Howie Mandel wasn't just the voice of dad Howard Generic, but also Bobby as well. (He also voiced Gizmo in the Gremlins movies, so that cutens things up a bit, yeah?) But since we're keeping it creepy, we wanted to revisit the spookiest stories in Bobby's ...
Ep. 288: Addams Family Review
October 24, 2020 13:00 - 1 hour - 42.9 MBOctober means it's time for spooky toons! We've covered our fair share of supposedly scary (but usually just silly) cartoons on the podcast over the years, but somehow we missed out on an all-time classic: The 90s animated series The Addams Family! This ooky, kooky, mysterious, and spooky series came at a time when interest in the titular family -- Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, and Puglsey, with Uncle Fester, Lurch, Thing, Cousin It, and Grandmama -- was running high. The cartoon was released...

#Kipo Showrunners on the Series' End and Hope for Its Future
October 15, 2020 17:00 - 13 minutes - 15.1 MBThe bittersweet news is that Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts has come to a close after only 30 episodes released over less than a calendar year. But what a year. Kipo, one of the best new animated series in recent years, is definitely a silver lining in 2020 and will be a memory I chose to revisit more often than, well, pretty much everything else from this year. The sweet part is that all of those episodes are still available to stream on Netflix and will be fore the foreseeable future. Wh...

IRONFACE: The Animated Series - Behind the Scenes
October 03, 2020 12:00 - 54 minutes - 63.3 MBToday, I'm not just bringing you the latest episode of our long-running animation podcast Saturday Mourning Cartoons, I'm bringing you a very special and personal project. After 6 years and well over 300 episodes, our little animation-fandom podcast has finally made its own original animation in the nightmarish and hilarious IRONFACE. We made this short animated teaser trailer for the ongoing Kickstarter campaign -- of which I'm the manager and community liaison -- as a proof of concept for...
#SugarAndToys: Carl Jones & Brian Ash on Season 2, 'The Boondocks', and Black Animation
September 26, 2020 15:00 - 45 minutes - 45.4 MBFifteen years ago, The Boondocks changed the course of modern animation by not only featuring Black characters as the leads, but by being absolutely unapologetic in its content. That boundary-pushing show gained its own following along with a fair share of backlash, all of which is now par for the course for executive producer Carl Jones and producer Brian Ash. They've had celebrities like Oprah and Tyler Perry take issue with (and aim at) The Boondocks, just as they've had Adult Swim axe an...
Ep. 286: Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous Review
September 19, 2020 14:41 - 1 hour - 87.1 MBIt's back to the park we go in this week's cartoon review with Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous. The new Dreamworks Animation series, now streaming on Netflix, takes a different approach to storytelling for the continuation of the late Michael Crichton's phenomenal franchise, powered by Universal. Rather than focusing on an elite team of adult trainers, scientists, and covert spies, this version makes their characters a little more kid-friendly ... even if the carnivorous dinosaurs and rampag...
'Big City Greens' Star Marieve Herington on Writing Her First Episode
September 12, 2020 12:00 - 20 minutes - 24.1 MBTonight, a brand new episode of Disney Channel's animated series Big City Greens premieres at 8PM ET/PT, and it's special for a couple of reasons. First, it continues the second season of the Annie and Emmy-nominated series from co-creators and showrunners Chris and Shane Houghton, and second, guest cast members Lorraine Toussaint (Orange Is the New Black) and Colton Dunn (Superstore) return as Rashida and Russell Remington, with Danny Trejo (Machete) back as Vasquez. But even more important...
Ep. 285: 'Defenders of the Earth' Review
September 05, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 68.9 MBIf you want to see a bunch of powerful comic book superheroes team up to fend off extraterrestrial threats to our home planet, there's no better place to look than Marvel's Avengers Defenders of the Earth! This 1986 animated series from King Features, with development by Marvel and production from a trio of overseas studios including Toei Animation, united the bigger-than-life heroes of King Features Syndicate. Flash Gordon, Phantom, Mandrake the Magician, and Lothar joined forces to defend ...
Ep. 284: 'Glitch Techs' Season 2 Review
August 29, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 67.8 MBGlitch Techs Season 2 arrived on Netflix just last week. This new batch of 10 half-hour episodes continues the adventures of glitch-hunters Miko and Five and their all-star team of Hinobi technicians. New relationships will be explored, new insight into families and friends will be revealed, and tons of pop culture and video game Easter eggs will be scattered all over the place, virtual and IRL. But how does Season 2 compare to the fantastic first season released earlier this year? As gamer...
Ep. 283: 'Hoops' Review: Is Netflix's Animated Series the Worst New Show of 2020?
August 22, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 63.8 MBIt's rare that we absolutely shred a cartoon on our weekly animation podcast, but it's also (thankfully) rare that shows like Hoops make it all the way to a finished, widely distributed production. I guess that's the price we play for today's ubiquitous streaming services; little to no standards and practices allows artists to deliver some cutting-edge animation you wouldn't normally get on network, cable, or premium TV, but it also lacks a quality filter. That's where we come in. From Ben ...
Ep. 281: 'Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles' Review
August 15, 2020 12:20 - 1 hour - 59.9 MBThis week's cartoon review comes courtesy of a Listener Recommendation, so we're legally obligated to check out Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles. With 44 episodes -- 4 of which are clip shows -- this 1999-2000 series tells the story of Rico's Roughnecks, a squad of space-based troops carrying out orders in defense of Earth. It continues the tales laid out in Robert Heinlein's book as well as Paul Verhoeven's '97 movie that started a fan-favorite franchise. But does Roughnecks liv...
Ep. 282: 'Wizards' Review | Saturday Mourning Cartoons
August 08, 2020 11:29 - 1 hour - 65.2 MBDreamWorks delivers more Tales of Arcadia animated action in Wizards, the closing chapter of Guillermo del Toro & Co's excellent, action-packed, fantasy franchise. (Except it's not really the closing chapter; there's a movie coming out in 2021 that aims to resolve everything the 10-episode Netflix season didn't quite tie off with a bow.) But how exactly does the magic-focused series stack up when compared with fellow Tales, 3Below and Trollhunters? Listen in as we walk through the Good, the...
Laura Bailey on 'Starfinder' & Voicing a Character Alongside Amazon's Alexa
August 04, 2020 15:00 - 14 minutes - 9.96 MBLaura Bailey, co-star of the recent hit video game 'The Last of Us: Part II', will star in the upcoming release of Amazon's 'Starfinder', an Alexa-assisted RPG based on Paizo's popular tabletop game.

Plus, she talks about getting to record with Nathan Fillion on...

August 01, 2020 12:00 - 51 minutes - 50.8 MBGet out your nippers, files, and X-Acto knives, it's time for Gunpla! We're digging into a listener recommendation and checking out Gundam Build Fighters, an anime series in the vast and varied Gundam universe that puts the focus on fans of the giant mobile suits and their small-scale plastic model kits. While this may be a kid-friendly version of the Gundam story that focuses on model-building and battling instead of space-based warfare and using orbiting colonies as a weapon of mass destru...

Ep. 279: 'The Mummy' Animated Series on Peacock TV; Is It Worth Your Time?
July 25, 2020 11:01 - 1 hour - 81.6 MBDid you know The Mummy franchise had itself an animated series? We didn't either. The launch of Peacock TV brought that little nugget to our attention, so we decided to give it a watch to see how it holds up nearly 20 years later. You can watch both seasons of the series here for free, or you can watch this Season 1 sum-up "movie" The Mummy: Quest for the Lost Scrolls to get caught up on the adventure like we did. Then again, maybe you should just skip this entry in the Universal monster mov...
Ep. 278: 'Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls' Review | Saturday Mourning Cartoons
July 18, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 69.8 MBThis week on Saturday Mourning Cartoons, we're fielding a long-standing Listener Request courtesy of Charles from Michigan. What's Charles want us to watch? Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls, not to be confused with the follow-up anime Basilisk: The Ouka Ninja Scrolls or even the similarly titled but earlier gateway anime standout Ninja Scroll. You've got to keep your ninja clans and scrolls straight, people. In this 2005 Gonzo-animated adaptation of Fûtarô Yamada's iconic works, the heirs ...
'Amphibia' Creator Matt Braly on Season 2 and Anne's Missing Shoe
July 08, 2020 16:00 - 20 minutes - 20.3 MBAmphibia fans by and large want to know one thing above all: Will Anne Boonchuy ever find her missing shoe? I recently spoke with the show's creator and executive producer Matt Braly about that very fact, along with all things Amphibia ahead of the series' Season 2 premiere, Saturday, July 11th (8:20 p.m. EDT/PDT), on Disney Channel and DisneyNOW. We chatted about how fan reactions from Season 1 led to some interesting changes as Braly and his creative team shaped Season 2 and beyond; Seas...
Ep. 277: 'Solar Opposites' Review | Saturday Mourning Cartoons
July 04, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 76 MBHulu's original animated series Solar Opposites has quickly become a hit for the streaming platform. From the creators behind Rick and Morty, this animated sitcom focuses on a family of aliens who crashland on Earth with the intention of terraforming it. But when they start to understand what makes humans special and unique, they might just learn to love the backward bipedal terrestrials. Probably not though. What'll probably happen is either the shrunken humans trapped in the Wall will rev...
Ep. 276: 'Sym-Bionic Titan' Review | Saturday Mourning Cartoons
June 27, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 75.9 MBYou've probably heard of Samurai Jack and Dexter's Laboratory, and if you're a Genndy Tartakovsky fan, you know all about Star Wars: Clone Wars, Primal and Hotel Transylvania, too. But there's a good chance you might have missed out on his 2010 animated Cartoon network series Sym-Bionic Titan. The 20-episodes, one-season series (which is streaming on Netflix now) follows three young alien beings -- Lance, Ilana, and Octus -- who have the ability to combine to form a giant robotic warrior. B...
'Kipo' Showrunners on Season 3 and Portraying Gay Characters in Healthy Relationships
June 20, 2020 12:00 - 17 minutes - 19.9 MBWe love Netflix's DreamWorks Animation series Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. We sang its praises when it debuted this January, were happy to see that Season 2 continued to develop its colorful characters and make progressive strides forward in its story, and even talked about that more in our video review. Now, it's my pleasure to get a chance to talk to co-creators/showrunners Bill Wolkoff and Rad Sechrist once again to dig into all things Kipo a little more. Some spoilers follow. This ...
Ep. 275: 'Kipo' Season 2 Review | Saturday Mourning Cartoons
June 13, 2020 11:00 - 57 minutes - 71.7 MBKipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts should honestly be on the Top 10 TV Shows on Netflix every day, but especially this weekend. Season 2 of Radford Sechrist and Bill Wolkoff's excellent animated series from Dreamworks Animation just arrived on the streaming service yesterday with a batch of 10 all-new episodes. They continue the story of the title character and her bigger-than-life friends in a colorful, magical, and musical post-apocalyptic world. I already sang the praises of Kipo Season ...
Ep. 274: 'Ulysses 31' Review | Saturday Mourning Cartoons
June 06, 2020 12:00 - 56 minutes - 70.4 MBWe're going Greek -- Ancient Greek, that is -- in this week's nostalgic cartoon review with Ulysses 31. This early 80s animated series aims to retell Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey" set in the far-flung outer space of the 31st century. It's one part Saturday morning cartoon, one part classic literature, and 100% good, old-fashioned animated insanity. Shout-out to our longtime fan, friend, and regular contributor Bobby Anthem for recommending this one! Ulysses 31, a French-Japanese productio...

Their weekly watch parties go behind the scenes of the epic, action-packed, original animated Netflix series -- one of the best of 2019 -- to offer up trivia, bonus content, and all sorts of insider info from the actors, animators, and creative talent that brought the Mexicanime to life.

Rob Paulsen on the #Animaniacs Reboot and Surviving Cancer
May 23, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 64.5 MBThere's a good chance you'll know Rob Paulsen's voice when you hear it.

Ep. 272: 'Salty's Lighthouse' Review | Saturday Mourning Cartoons
May 02, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 75.9 MBAnother week, another Listener Suggestion. Our cartoon lawyers are FURIOUS! This week's suggestion comes courtesy of Kevin, who wanted us to watch and review 'Salty's Lighthouse', a kids show from the late 1990s that took a bunch of footage from 'Tugs' and added it into its own animated nightmare. The series briefly ran on TLC as part of the network's "Ready Set Learn" programming block. But did we learn anything from reviewing this show, or did we simply run as far away as possible? Listen...

April 25, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 66.2 MBWe're revisiting 'MEGAS XLR', an early 2000s animated mecha series created by Jody Schaeffer and George Krstic. The action-packed animation on this comedy show that takes aim at all kinds of anime trope came courtesy of Cartoon Network Studios, Titmouse animation, and Sunmin Image Pictures. And why are we doing this to ourselves? Well, one, because it's actually a really funny and well-done series, but also because a listener called in to recommend it; our cartoon lawyers say we're legally o...

April 11, 2020 14:15 - 1 hour - 88 MBOn this episode of Saturday Mourning Cartoons, we're busy trying to figure out what's been scratching inside our walls for the last few weeks. Turns out, it's a civilization of miniature mouse-like people called The Littles. They totally built a full-on city on our apartment's foundation, complete with tiny furniture, vehicles, and houses of their own. It'd be delightful if it didn't make us question our sanity. So big thanks to Benjamin Schyan for the listener suggestion this week since it ...

Ep. 269: 'Ozzy & Drix' Review
March 21, 2020 11:38 - 1 hour - 66.1 MBIn these strange times of coronavirus COVID-19, the Saturday Mourning Cartoons team has turned to a pair of animated pathogen-fighting heroes, 'Ozzy & Drix'! But just who are the title characters? Warner Bros.’ animated movie ‘Osmosis Jones’ came out in 2001 from the Farrelly Bros, and featured a live-action Bill Murray, with Chris Rock voicing the title character and David Hyde Pierce voicing Drix; Laurence Fishburne played the big bad in Thrax. Then, in 2002, ‘Ozzy & Drix’ arrived from Wa...

This Hanna-Barbera cartoon is but the latest in our long line of dinosaur-themed animated series (though there are probably still many more out there for us to tackle). It also has a curious tie into the popular live-action series Land of the Lost: Not only do the cartoon and the TV show have an almost identi...

February 15, 2020 12:00 - 53 minutes - 60 MBThe Saturday Mourning Cartoons team reviews Sonic the Hedgehog this weekend. No, not the new CG/live-action hybrid movie, the 1993 animated series. No, not *that* one either, the other one. The one that's surprisingly dark and sees Sonic, Tails, and the gang as a band of rebellious freedom fighters battling back against the evil ways of Dr. Robotnik. Yeah, that's the one.
