6 Other 90s Kids Show That Deserve a Movie Adaptation
There’s going to be a Power Rangers movie, you guys! Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers was the show of shows when I was a kid in the 90s! I watched it every day after school. I still consider the Green Ranger one of the greatest heroes of all time. And I have nothing but fond memories of Zordon, the Black Ranger, Lord Zedd and all the rest of those multi-colored knuckleheads. I don’t know if this movie is going to be any good, but my fuzzy memories will never die.
I recall the costumes being plainer
This Power Rangers movie has also got me thinking: have we finally moved on to adapting 90s kids’ shows into live action, realistic movies? Are the 80s already tapped out? We’ve had movies for the Transformers, G.I. Joe, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Jem, and I know a new He-Man movie is in the works. The 80s have given us many good to blah movie franchises, but their well of quality kids’ shows is not infinite. Is it time to move on to the 90s?
Good thing I watched kids’ shows back then too, and I’ve got some solid suggestions for Hollywood!
My Favorite TV Show of Last Year is Coming Back!
Bojack Horseman season 3 lands on Netflix on July 22! Get excited! This was my favorite show last year, and I’m hoping for more awesomeness this year! The trailer is pretty stellar.
I look forward to the nice mix of misery and comedy and animal husbandry.

Only Leigh is Making a Time Travel Cartoon!
Big fan of Only Leigh here, the Youtube cartoonist with the geeky sensibilities. I try to post her stuff whenever it comes out. Well apparently this week, she’s debuting the pilot episode of her new cartoon, Belle & Tina are Time Travelers. It’s wonderful!
I hope there are more to come! Man, what I wouldn’t give to be able to make cartoons like that. Damn good quality, darn good humor, and a heck of a lot of fun!

The X-Men Animated Series Was My Everything
This cartoon was my everything growing up in the 90s! Not only did it introduce me to a lot of newer X-Men, but I’m pretty sure this helped push along my interest in comics. I watched a ton of cartoons in the 80s, when I was really young, but the 90s and the X-Men Animated Series were my formative years.
I wonder if the episodes hold up at all. I’ve seen a few over the years, but I have to imagine it was a product of its time. Kudos to Screen Junkies for nailing all the best parts!

Voltron Trailer Seeks to Reclaim My Childhood
Voltron was one of my favorite cartoons as a child…but I don’t remember anything about it. Obviously I remember the basic premise and stuff, but I can’t recall any episodes or storylines or when I watched it or what I liked about it. But hey, Netflix is bringing it back for a Voltron revival!
Looks like fun, I’ll probably watch. I’ve watched all the other attempts to revive Voltron, either via cartoon or comic book. And I’m a big fan of Netflix binging, so count me in! Hopefully they do justice to the Princess Allura storyline in the beginning. It looks like they might be trying to make it a surprise.
