30 Minutes of Random 80's Cartoon Openings

There are many more passionate cartoon fans out there and it clearly shows in their efforts of making nostalgic videos like this one to share with everyone.



This video's close to 30min long and will take a while to load completely.

I noted down the list of cartoons featured and here they are as follows in this order:

He-Man & the Masters of the Universe
She-Ra Princess of Power
Inpector Gadget (I didn't watch this)
GhostBusters (I didn't watch this version)
The Real GhostBusters
BraveStarr
Heathcliff & Marwaduke (I didn't watch this)
Heathcliff (I love the theme song & the screen shots, especially the typewriter part!)
Gilligan's Planet (I didn't watch this)
Voltron (5 lions version)
Mighty Orbots (I didn't watch this)
Danger Mouse (I only watched a bit of this)
DuckTales
Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers
The Littles (I didn't watch this)
Pac-Man (I didn't watch this)
Captain N the Game Master (I didn't watch this)
Super Mario Brothers Super Show (I didn't watch this)
The Legend of Zelda (I didn't watch this)
Thundarr the Babarian (I didn't watch this)
G.I.Joe (I only watched a bit of this)
Transformers I & II (I only watched a bit of these, not a robots fan)
Challenge of the Gobots (I didn't watch this)
Beetlejuice (I didn't watch this)
Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles
The Charlie Brown Show
Dungeons and Dragons (I didn't watch this)
Blackstar (I didn't watch this)


There were definitely many more 80's cartoons that I used to watch and are not featured here. I think not all the above cartoons were shown in Singapore back then.

Overall, many of the 80's cartoons had very catchy theme songs which are still well remembered by their fans today. I'll always remember the tunes of The Real Ghostbusters, Heathcliff, DuckTales, Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles, plus endless more. The songs have become classics in the minds of children of the 80's like me.

These children of the 80's then become the target markets of the DVD re-releases of the 80's cartoons, and they gladly buy the DVDs for nostalgic reasons. For me, I already own the DVD volumes of JEM & She-Ra!

Defenders of the Earth Intro & Theme Song

Beware, the volume can get a bit loud..



Song Lyrics:

Defenders of The Earth, Defenders!
Out of the sky, his rockets ignite,
Jets into battle flying faster than light,
Flash Gordon!

Lord of the Jungle, the hero who stalks,
The beast call him brother, the ghost who walks,
Phantom!
Defenders of The Earth!

Master of magic spells and illusion,
Enemies crumble in fear and confusion,
Mandrake!
Defenders of The Earth!

His strength is a legend, his skill conquers all,
On with his power we never will fall,
Lothar!
Defenders of the Earth!

With our new young heroes proving their worth,
Four become eight, Defending The Earth,
Defenders of The Earth, Defenders!
Defenders of The Earth!

Heroes:
Flash Gordon
The Phantom
Mandrake the Magician
Lothar
Rick Gordon (son of Flash Gordon)
Jedda (daughter of The Phantom)
Kshin (adopted, apprentice of Mandrake)
L.J. (son of Lothar)

Main Villain:
Ming the Merciless

My Little Pony - "Rescue at Midnight Castle" Intro & Theme Song



My Little Pony "Rescue at Midnight Castle" Theme Song Lyrics:

My Little Pony, My Little Pony
Isn't the world a lovely place?
My Little Pony, My Little Pony,
Everywhere you go, a smiling face!
Running and skipping; merrily tripping,
Watching the morning unfold,
My Little Pony, My Little Pony,
What does the future hold?

No sign of trouble in sight,
My Little Pony, My Little Pony,
May all your days be bright,
May all your days be bright!
