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.

6 Live Action Adaptations That Disney Should Make Next
There seems to be a growing trend at Disney recently to make live action versions of their classic animated movies. We had Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Maleficent, a version of Snow White, and just this month, a live action Jungle Book (though it was largely CGI). Word has it they want to make Dumbo in the same way, and a Cruella de Vil movie starring Emma Stone is in the works. This is a pretty interesting line of work.
Bill Murray’s best CGI animal work
I bring all this up because I saw The Jungle Book in theaters the other day and had a lot of fun. It was a good movie with great special effects. If this is what Disney wants to do, I say more power to them! If they can make good movies by turning classic cartoons into live action, that sounds like a plan to me. So much so that I have a few suggestions!
Join me after the jump.
You Best Believe Today is Jungle Book Day!
That new Jungle Book movie comes out this weekend, and I hope it leads to a new version of Tailspin too. I don’t yet know if I’m going to see the movie, but I’m definitely going to watch all of the usual movie parody videos!
And good times were had by all.

This Video Contains a Ton of My Favorite Things
Internet parodies, LEGOs and Star Wars come together in How The Force Awakens Should Have Ended!
It’s funny, it’s awesome and it’s an all-around good time. The How It Should Have Ended folks did an earlier Force Awakens bit, but I prefer when things are done in LEGO. Oh and hey, the DVD comes out today too! Neat.
