Epic themesong indeed, Miller.
I was so into this when I was younger. Together with DuckTales and Darkwing Duck, this made my afternoons.

Man some of that is so 80s.
Duckwing duck and Bonkers was some pretty classic DisneyToon Studios works. I'm not into them heaps, but there is some good stuff.

I was also into Aladdin The Animated series heaps.

I go back and forth between Gummi Bears and Ducktales all the time. In the end I usually pick Ducktales, but it's very close.

Gummi Bears has aged a lot better than many of Disney's other shows, and while I kind of neglected it while it was still around, I've recently got back into it. Despite the large recurring cast and how long the show was around, the show really did seem to improve upon itself with each new character and new season. It was funny, colorful, well-written, and had a legendary voice cast. The show lost a little steam in the 6th season when they had to change to cheaper animation studios (which ironically is about the time the show got placed in the DA lineup), but it's still a very appreciated show.

Ducktales was my favorite of the bunch at the time, and I still do enjoy it quite a bit today. The cast was large and lovable, the stories were fun and exciting, and the animation was crisp and lively. It probably has my favorite theme song of the bunch too. The villain gallery on this show also had quite a bit of personality, to the point that sometimes I even wanted to spend more time with them than with Scrooge. The show definitely dipped by the time Gizmoduck and Bubba showed up in stereotypical "Jump the Shark" fashion, but it's still a crown jewel of the lineup.

Rescue Rangers is one that I watched at the time, but I've had trouble getting back into today. It got the job done at the time for a child who wanted an action/comedy detective show starring mice and chipmunks with funny voices, but looking back, it had it's problems. Dale got too much attention over Chip, the stories were pretty formulaic and procedural, and even the main characters themselves got annoying sometimes. It's not terrible, but it hasn't aged well.

Talespin isn't my favorite if only because it was a little too polarizing for me to rank high enough. When the show was good, it was great. Great animation, very fun and intelligent characters and plots, and great action and adventure were all to be found. The thing is, I really liked the show when the story was set around action or adventure. But whenever the show got into the sillier slapstick plots, or the plots that pushed the morality factor, I found myself bored or uninterested a lot. The flavor I wanted from Talespin was particular, and if I didn't get it, it was disappointing (if unfair for me to say).

I was just out of the loop when Darkwing Duck came around, so I never gave it that good a shake. What I found was pretty good, if a little hectic at times. The plots were fun, and I found Darkwing himself to be an interesting hero. Bumbling and egotistical at times, but he could still got the job done in the end (Tick-lite almost). Still, the characters and constant dialogue can be a little overbearing at times, so it's been tricky for me to try and get back into it.

I never really watched any of the others, and it's a little too bad Gargoyles was left off the list, since that would rank pretty high in my book as well, but all in all that's my input.

I also liked the Fenton/GizmoDuck-stuff.
It gave a new fresh spin to the series, and as a kid that was very enjoyable.
On the other hand I was not so into Bubba, I'm afraid.
Should've left him in his time period.

WTF with Gummy Bears, I breifly saw them.
What, they just eat Disney Gummy Bears, and like, They bounce around?

Yep, you have to love any cartoon show that tells children "Remember kids, drugs and strange juice-like substances are bad for you. Unless they give you amazing super-powers, then they're great!"

I must have missed some later seasons.
I only remember the original cast of bears.
Never knew they actually met others later on.



By the way, I should have had included the Wuzzles also.
