Once Upon a Time in Toon Town

Oct 29, 2010 20:53


For some reason I've recently been on a major "let's revisit the cartoons of my childhood through their theme songs on youtube!" kick.  Maybe it's because I like things that I only have hazy memories of and then when I find them again, they make me go "OH.  EM.  GEE.  I TOTALLY REMEMBER THAT."  Anyway, after I finished listening to all the standards--Animaniacs, Duck Tales, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers...--I decided to look for something that I really hadn't thought about in years.  Probably closer to a decade.

So does anyone besides me remember Bonkers?  ...Anyone?

Unlike with Animaniacs etc., I hadn't heard a word from anyone in my real life or on the internet about Bonkers in *AGES*, so I'm guessing it's fallen into relative obscurity since the mid-1990s when I saw it.  It's a shame though, because I just wasted an hour of my time when I should have been studying to watch the pilot, and it's hilarious.  Now I know why this is one of just a handful of things I have memories of actually sitting down and watching.  There are plenty that I know I *did* watch, but if you asked me to tell you how I know that I did, I'd probably say, "...I just did."

Not so with Bonkers.  I'm fairly certain that's because it was one of my favorites for at least a little while.

Oh, childhood, why did you leave me? T_T

Maybe I'll go find some Gummi Bears next.  Or Once Upon a Forest.
