The second intro to Disney's animation series "Gummi Bears" also known as "Disney's Adventures of The Gummi Bears." A few scene replacements from the first were made: one of them included the character of Gusto Gummi, who was voiced by Rob Paulsen, the voice of Yakko Warner from "Animaniacs" Gummi Bears was one of the two original shows Disney released on television on entering the market, along with the Wuzzles. The idea for using Gummi Bears was suggested by Michael Eisner, the former chairman of the Disney Corporation, because his son apparently liked the candy. Set in an ancient land of mythology, were ogres and other strange creature roamed the lands. The Gummi Bears left long ago to escape the greed of humans, leaving behind a small band of caretakers. This series is set several generations thereafter and the bears have become mere legends. However young page Cavin -- and later Princess Calla - becomes entwined with the ancestors of those left behind. Unfortunately, the reality of the bears is also discovered by Duke Igthorn, lord of Drekmore and ruler of its Ogres. The Duke makes plans to capture a Gummi and their legendary Gummiberry Juice.

The intro to Nelvana's animated TV series Babar. A melodic piano piece introduces this gentle - some have called it other things - series about King Babar, his family and their adventures in and around the town of Celestville. Babar shares a 'friendly' rivalry with the egotistical Rataxes, king of Rhinoland, who was the main villain of the movie. Some episodes dwelled into Babar's past as a child monarch and some followed the adventures of his sons and daughter in the present Celestville. Based on the children's books by Jean and Laurent de Brunhoff, who gave the rights to Nelvana after deciding that they would likely be faithful to their work. The series followed the movie Babar and would go on through 26 episodes.

A request by leonflash, who asked that I do a run off 7-1 with the following criteria: a) no using the bomb-head, b) don't get hit, and c) get all the levels bonus points. Always happy to oblige, here is the resulting run. Unfortunately, I've had no end of issues at present with video rendering and corrupted hard-drives; while I will attempt to get a good render of this to upload, I've opened this one up for comments and ratings and hope that the video and audio jumping is tolerable. When you first face the Gatekeeper you act as bait while Heather throws the keys collected from the previous Keymaster bosses into the boss's backpack when his attention is distracted (when it's attacking Headdy). Getting the key into the backpack is simple, the gatekeeper will jump toward Headdy and every so often attempt to hit Headdy. When he does this Heather will get her chance to throw the key, but she has to have a clear shot; if the gatekeeper takes too long to attack then Heather will impatiently jump to the opposite side of the screen. One of the more fun things to watch is when Heather jumps to the other side and sees a late clean shot, throws the key and then, the key misses and flies off-screen, followed by panicked Heather. After all the keys - including the one from the boss that you never see - have found their way into the backpack, the gatekeeper falls out of shot and the pack shoots some stars upwards, whose twinkling sound dislodge the fake glass background (on top of our hero, no less), revealing the Dark Demon's castle behind. Of course the Gatekeeper comes back, seemingly annoyed by all this, since he has gone all nasty and grabs Heather to use as a puppet equivalent of a human shield (if you hit Heather at anytime, Headdy will lose health). Nasty Gatekeeper has various ways to attack, though only one makes him open to counterattacking. His main attack involves him locking onto Headdy's head and launching one of his arms to hit, while covering his face -- his weakpoint -- with the other, this attack can be dodged either by simply shooting up as the keeper is just about to attack -- leaving the target ridicule in mid-air, or else by walking away or towards the keeper as he locks on; the later tactic is more risky as it can involve jumping over the attacking claw. The keeper will alternate between his right and left arm, bracing them for attack to inform you which. If he is going to use his right arm (which holds nothing at the start), then you can direct it to fire off-screen and when it comes back it will have either grabbed a Headcase or a Bino; if the hand goes off-screen holding either it will subsequently let go. If it sends in Bino then hit for a secret bonus point. Headcase will carry one of two variations of power-ups: Clear Head, Bomb Head and Head Trip, or Hammer Head, War Head. His second basic attack is to jump around the screen -- the first jump is generally towards Headdy -- whilst spinning his right arm in a clockwise direction dodging this is more of a case of positioning yourself and running pass the gatekeeper as he jumps over you. never jump or stand still while he is in the air. Every so often the gatekeeper will open up his arms to drop a little bomb capsule to the ground, the bomb will spread fire across the ground (though the capsule itself is harmless), this is your only chance of attack as he will leave his face open to attack; jump in and whack him. Once you do hit him you have to avoid as series of multiple, rapid arms attack by timing shooting you head upwards into the air, if you unsure of the timing then you can do a jump before firing. Thereafter it is simply a case of flinging your head upwards as the claw passes by your head, being particularly careful not to accidentally hit Headcase if its cycle includes Head-Trip. Once it has finishes its fury attack it will revert to either of the first two. It is the getting the timing down when he is targeting that is the key to the long haul, most of that in that first dodge; and depending on whether you're using a PAL or NTSC Mega Drive or Genesis that timing will be slightly different. There are two, relatively speaking, easier ways to defeat the Nasty Gatekeeper though. The first is to time the Bomb Head to detonate as he makes himself open to attack, this is tricky in itself and has a certain degree of luck involved but does make the battle go quicker if you can get the timing right. The second is to continually grab the Clear Head from Headcase, giving you invulnerability while you slowly wear the gatekeeper's health down. In the original Japanese version, the gatekeeper is a geisha named Yayoi who politely tells you that there is no evil castle here and you might as well go back home (or something to that effect). Heather -- called Fingy in Japan -- steps in and contradicts Yayoi, Headdy and Fingy use the keys and find the castle and Yayoi is replaced by angry sister Izayoi.

Intro to the 1990 Disney Afternoon animated TV series Talespin. Layabout Baloo has always had an easygoing attitude to life, which is turned upside down when he befriends a young kid called Kit Cloudkicker and finds that his transport business -- along with his airplane, the Sea Duck -- is now owned by recently graduated business woman Rebecca Cunningham. Dodging air-pirates and trading jives with his new boss, Baloo and Kit are the intrepid crew for Higher-for-Hire. Taking characters of the Jungle Book and putting them in a 1930-ish world of airplanes and intrigue may not have sounded like the most obvious of things to do at the time, but Disney arguably pulled it off. Although on the most impressive side of things may lie in a TV series that predominately featured large machines -- airplanes -- flying in non-linear fashion without the use of computers. The series ran for 65 episodes and two volumes of 27 episodes -- including the 4 part pilot -- have been released on DVD.

The intro to Hanna-Barbera's 1961, primetime animated TV series Top Cat, which is out in its entirety on DVD. The adventures of a lovable con-artist with a heart of gold, Top Cat and the gang spent their time in Hoagy's Alley, trying to find ways of making a quick buck and suchlike. With Top Cat are the Spook, the naïve Benny the Ball, Fancy-Fancy, Choo-choo, and none-too-bright Brain. Opposing them, or at least trying to, is police officer Dibble, who objects to Top Cat's use of the police public phone and the general shenanigans of the gang. Lasting just one season of 30 half-hour episodes, Top Cat was heavily influenced by The Phil Silvers Show (a.k.a. Sgt. Bilko). This kind of borrowing was nothing new for the studio, as their previous hit, The Flintstones was also somewhat based on a -- then -- popular show. Because of a copyright conflict* and the non-advertising policy it had at the time, the BBC renamed the show Boss Cat during it original UK run, although the character throughout was still referred to as Top Cat or TC. *Top Cat was the name of a brand of UK canned cat food.

A much darker tone to the theme and some clip changes mark the notable differences for the "B" theme of Chip 'N' Dale: Rescue Rangers, sound effects were also in the mix. Chip 'N' Dale: Rescue Rangers was a series that sometimes paid homage to its main stars theatrical heritage, for example elements of the episode "Out of Scale" which directly referenced a theatrical short the chipmunks' shared with Donald Duck.

The "A version" of the intro to Disney Afternoon 1989 cartoon, Chip 'N' Dale: Rescue Rangers. The intros seemed to be placed to random episodes as far as I can make out, though that may be due to syndication or just Disney wanting to mix things up a bit, in any case I am calling it the "A version" to distinguish it from the other version. The first theme is quite a light, somewhat symphonised affair, with the sound effects that occurred in later renditions absent. Personally I prefer the darker theme with the sound effects included. Tress MacNeille was the voice of Chip, Gadget and Zipper, Corey Burton was the voice of Dale; Jim Cummings played the roles of: Monterey Jack, Fat Cat and Professor Nimnul. In the case of Chip and Dale, the voices were electronically pitched up during production.

She makes friends with Bobby Bear, Diana Fox and Johnny Dog; together they foil the schemes of Wilde Wolf and have general adventures in the town.

Intro to the animated TV series The Raccoons, created by Kevin Gillis and produced by Atkinson Film Arts. The series lasted for sixty episodes and was preceded by various specials: the 1983 The Raccoons and the Lost Star being the most noteworthy. The Evergreen Forest is peaceful and serene, at least until Bert Raccoon wakes up. While Bert's antics liven up the forest his friends Ralph and Melissa work on the local newspaper the Evergreen Standard. Most of the forest's problems came from the plans of business tycoon Cyril Sneer, whose money making ploys are usually counter to the best intentions of the forest's wellbeing. Cyril is aided by his three pig assistants and his bear henchman, but luckily those darn raccoons, along with Cyril's son Cedric and Sheepdogs Schaeffer and Broo are there to help each other out and put a stop to Cyril's less than commendable plans.

A version - I'm not sure if it may before or after the other one - of the intro to Nelvana/Ellipse's 1991 animated TV series Rupert. Another version of the intro would include footage of a dragon capturing Pong Ping, a griffin ripping down a tree, etc. The series would run for 66 episodes during five seasons, of which the last two seasons would be produced by Nelvana alone. Another variant of the Theme - this time with lyrics over a more fun oriented track - was created by Nickelodeon for their Nick Jr. channel. Rupert, sometimes along with one or more of his friends, gets into adventures involving mystery and intrigue and some element of danger. With his friendly demeanour and a good head on his shoulders, Rupert puts it to himself to help solve the mystery and/or save those he meets from whatever ne'er-do-wells are causing the trouble. There were also other versions of Rupert the Bear over the years. First of, there was a series created by ITC in the 1970s that used puppets. Another series of Rupert's, this time on the BBC that was similar to the BBC's other storybook show Jackanory, in which a storyteller would recite one of Rupert's books, while illustration followed the narration. Also prior to this series was Paul McCartney's short film Rupert and The Frog Song. The characters were created by Mary Tourtel.

Intro to Frank Fehmers Productions 1984/6 animated TV series "The Bluffers", which detailed the adventure of a small group of animals as they tried to steal evil Clandestino's most precious possession: "The Secret of Getting it All", which the crazed maniac used to take over the land of Bluffonia and turn it into a wasteland. There were thirteen episodes made and the secret was never revealed in any of them. Lyrics You're just a bluffer, a candle snuffer Can't get enough of your dreams A huff and puffer, a pillow stuffer You're bound to suffer it seems Your head is full of schemes To turn the world around But all your fancy dreams Are from the lost and found Are from the lost and found The episodes either depicted attempts by the Bluffers to get the secret (the closest they ever got was the very well locked door containing it), or a plan of Clandestino's to destroy the rest of the forest and rid himself of the pests.

The intro to Filmation's long running Eighties animated TV series "He-Man and The Masters of The Universe," or just He-Man for short. Based on the toys by Mattel (who also provided the funding), He-Man ran for 130 episodes. It also had a spin-off series, in the form of "She-Ra: Princess of Power". A live-action film was produced by Cannon Film in 1987. Featuring an ever increasing army of characters, Filmation's usual level of animation and little to no competition at the time of its original airing. He-Man went on to achieve considerable success when it originally ran in 1983. The toyline from which it was based sold untold millions and caused many critics to cite it as nothing more than a half-hour toy commercial. When it reached the shores of the UK I absolutely adored the series, brought most of the toys and watched the cartoon to an almost religious extent. Today, I see it as an embarrassment to the art of animation and can't really watch an episode without cringing; walk cycles, animation repeats - He-man hits everything in the exact same way as he does in the intro - the best part of the art is the generally quite well done backgrounds. To be fair though, these problems where true of much of Filmations outpoint. If you watch Cringer when he is turned into Battlecat, he appears to be miming words. Apparently these words were "I have the power too!" or something to that effect; this was re-dubbed with the roaring sounds.

The first -- English language -- intro to the Japanese animé series Pokémon (1997-present). Based on the videogame series of the same name and following the game's basic plot points, Ash, Brock, Misty and their Pokémon buddies -- including Pokémon's 'mascot' Pikachu -- travel together and meet new friends and rivals as Ash works his way to becoming a Pokémon master by beating the various gym leaders and winning the leagues. Along the way the three also have to deal with the unwanted intrusion of Jessie, James and Meowth, three extremely inept members of Team Rocket. The series came to the West at roughly the same time as the games and related merchandise, which caused a storm of sales as the 'Pokémon Craze' took hold. The series -- the games and anime -- still remain popular, especially in Japan, but it may be unlikely that it hit the high it enjoyed back in its heyday. Thus far the west has seen nine seasons worth of episodes, going under various names -- Johto League, Advance, etc -- and subsequently each had different intros (most of which I don't have/won't be adding -- sorry). The use of this introduction theme clip/subject is claimed under 'Fair Use' on the grounds of: 1) the clip/subject is used for - and accompanied with - comments on the show. Comments include such things as the producers of the show (as in the production company/s), the year it first aired and how long the series lasted in 'standard length' episodes. Also noted is the availability of subject on high quality, officially licensed media (e.g. DVD). 2a) Inferior quality of video in relation to the quality of the original source. Being at a much lower screen resolution at a high level of compression. In addition to the substantial generation loss caused as a result of the methods used, the process also causes compression artifacts in the form of: loss of image clarity, noise, pixelization, et al. 2b) The inferior nature coupled with the incomplete nature of this recording and the diminished potential value therein of this recording in relation to the original work. 3) The trivial nature of the potential value of subject's introductory theme (hereon referred to as 'intro'), less the actual show that would otherwise follow. On the basis that it is the show - rather than the show's intro - which is, in essence, the primary draw of any 'realistic' potential audience and therefore the main fiscal worth of the subject (relating to audience/market share and sales of merchandising, i.e. DVD and video). 4) Bar the occasional glimpse at an episode's title car, the clip is of the intro and nothing else. The length of the clip is determined by that of subject's intro original length, no more is taken. 5) The poster and host both receive no revenue from this clip's existence on this site.

English language intro to the 2000 animated TV series Fix & Foxi, the series was created and also based around the characters by German comic writer/publisher Rolf Kauka. As well as characters from the Fix & Foxi universe, the series also had a segment for the Peppercorn family, the last comic series made by Kauka. Fix and Foxi are two friendly fox cubs, who live in the town of Foxburg (Foxholzen) with their uncle Fax, they have adventures foiling bullies, thieves, and/or problems caused by their friend Lupo and/or Professor Nox. This video is perhaps a testament to why you should never use LP for recording, at least if you want the thing you're recording to not become unwatchable in a couple of years. It is also a testament to bad theme song writing in general. The characters have a lot of popularity and success in their homeland and date back to the 1950's. Currently there are DVDs -- of the Fix & Foxi segment -- out, at least in their home country of Germany, though they do offer the choice of the English dub. 52 episodes were made for the series.

The End Credits to the DiC variant of The Chipmunks 1988-91, formerly Alvin & the Chipmunks. This ending sequence would play until the show's ultimate cancellation, when the series was called Chipmunks Go to the Movies. Alvin rocks along with the theme music as the credits go through what credits go through -- cast and crew usually. The music overruns the logos, in this case the 'Sleeping Kid' logo for DiC Entertainment and Bagdasarian Productions. Ross Bagdasarian is mentioned various times, as Creator, Producer and voice credits -- he voiced Alvin, Simon (both re-pitched) and Dave Seville.

The third intro to "Alvin and the Chipmunks," how just referred to as "The Chipmunks" in the opening titles. The lyrics themselves remain completely unchanged from the original intro, but the animation is totally new. One strange aspect is the absence of the Chipettes: Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor, who had at least a brief cameo in the original opening. Alvin and the Chipmunks would go on for eight seasons, an impressive run for a non-primetime eighties cartoon series.

The second opening theme of Nelvana's Care Bear Family, this intro introduced Shreeky, No-Heart's niece, to the roster of regular antagonists, she would go on to make Beastly's existence miserable. In spite of her best efforts to best the care bears, her plans were generally foiled by the incompetence of Beastly. The intro was also cut shorter than the original, probably for time. It also cut the regular care bear family characters down to just six regulars: Brave Heart Lion, Bright Heart Raccoon, Treat Heart Pig, Cheer Bear, Champ Bear and Grumpy Bear. Some episodes had Grams Bear tell a story to Baby Hugs and Tugs, with the regulars playing out the various parts. As well as the reduced numbers of characters, Nelvana decided to try and make the characters hipper, by putting clothes on them! Unfortunately many saw these changes as Nelvana 'jumping the shark'.

The first opening theme of Nelvana's version of the Care Bears, titled "The Care Bears Family." Featuring a general higher level of animation than DiC's attempt previously, and introducing the characters of the evil No-Heart and his bumbling assistant Beastly. While it may have introduced new baddies for the bears, it also removed the previous three, namely Professor Cold-Heart, Auntie Freeze and Frostbite. The series would follow on from the second of the two movies, although cubs Hugs and Tugs and their Grams Bear also made appearances in episodes. Interestingly Grams Bear never appeared in episodes that had True Heart Bear and Noble Heart Horse in.
