Bubba klubba och kvackelibrankelfnatt!

There are kids tv-shows which you’ll always remember. For me Disneklubben and Disneydags are two of those shows. Disneydags (disney time) was a swedish version of The Disney Afternoon which aired pretty much the same cartoons.

Just as when it comes to Disney movies I think the Disney cartoons of the early nineties are much better than the ones of today. Of course that might not be the case in actuality because however young in mind I am I still can’t apprechiate a cartoon today in the same way I did almost twenty years ago.

Anyway, you guys remember Tale spin, Duck Tales, Rescue Rangers, Adventures of the Gummi Bears and Tiny Toons? Then there was also Quack Pack and Goof Troop but by the time those shows were aired I at least pretended I was too old to care about cartoons. Even though I watched a few episodes here and there early weekend mornings.

Out of these shows Duck Tales was my absolute favourite. I mean, a robot duck and a neaderthal, can it get any more exciting?! For a eight year old, apparantly not, since I still remember the exact voice of Bubba.

You know what? I’m actually gonna try to find Duck Tales online and re-watch a couple of episodes. I’m afraid I might be disappointed but actually I think I won’t be. After all, I still love Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and the Little Mermaid.

There’s something about things you loved when you were a kid. I still prefer the old Narnia movies to the new ones. That’s really not logical since I know the new versions really are better. At least when you look at the special effects, because the effects of the old movies are really, really awful. Still, there’s something about the old movies which the new ones doesn’t capture. The fact that Aslan looks like a stuffed lion stolen from some kind of wildlife museum in the old versions doesn’t bother me much since I thought he looked very real when I was seven. That’s what I grew up with and that’s what I love. No amount of CGI can change that.

  1. Well put. I watched those shows too and I agree that the cartoons now seem to be lacking something (creativity I think) and just don’t hold a candle to the ones in the early 90′s. Its the legacy of our generation and just like our parents we will hold on to these things and our kids will call us old fashioned. ;)

  2. I totally agree, the originals from when you were little are always so much better than anything new they come out with. I loved Tiny Toons and Duck Tales, but I never had cable as a kid so I was always stuck with whatever was on the WB haha.

    I think The Emperor’s New Groove is the best Disney movie ever. Hands down. Very underrated.

  3. AGREED!! I don’t like the Disney channel “today” if you know what I mean. Aggh at the teen shows! I love love those old shows but my fave there has got to be Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, a lot of Loony toons classics, mickey mouse and friends classics and MORE! I’m a disney girl really. Give me anything disney and I’ll love you. One of my main life goals is to visit all the Disneylands in the world and I’ve gone to 3 now. I love almost all Disney movies and the classics are sometimes the best (but Pixar-Disney is still bringing the magic!).

    I do love how classic movies “feel” right? Sighs.. if only they were like that again… :D

    yey for a fellow Disney lover :P

  4. I love disneyklubben too, I think most of our generation loves and remebers that tv program:)
    I loved most darkwing duck, to bad they canceled it due to too violent. gez a disney cartoon “too violent” haha.
