i’ve been around here to know Fraggle is rather loved in the fandom
Landmines?
(I know the MLP example came first, but I either hadn’t seen it yet or hadn’t noticed when I watched that for the first time. But I remember wondering, about the Transformer Landmine, if it wasn’t difficult to get away with naming a kids’ show character that. But it turns out that even back in the 80s, mentioning land mines, even outside the expected Captain Planet sorta way, “war is bad, m’kay,” wasn’t seen as too violent after all. The more you know…)
Yet, no baddie thought to use one. Grogar’s plan could have been different if he planted some land mines around to prevent anypony escaping
I see.
I think G1 is pretty good quality also, besides the whole silliness it may have :)
your current filter.They also had land mines.
It’s not that I dislike those cartoons from the 80’s - I’m just pointing out that they just really all that good quality. But quality is not why I like Generation 1 and many other 80’s toons - I like them for their silly charm and sometimes-dark tones. Kind of like loving a schlocky yet really fun b-movie!:)

If you two don’t like those types of cartoons, that’s fine, but I say just let whoever likes these cartoons enjoy what they want to. We all have different opinions and tastes.

Agreed. I was the last days of the 30-year “Dark Age of Animation” that started with Hanna-Barbera in the early 60’s and ended in the early 90’s with MTV’s Liquid Television and Nickelodeon’s Ren and Stimpy…
I would never, by any definition, describe G1 MLP as “classic”, and even this is downright tame compared to the legitimately-entertaining Golden Age cartoons (not even a simple ‘head re-attachment’ gag? Come on!). In fact, I’m fairly certain absolutely nobody would ever be spouting that wretched “U NO 4KIDS” catchphrase (please die, Walker) had this generation and the one before not been so dulled and tenderized by so-called cartoons that utterly forwent and forgotten how to make people laugh.
I know of Tex Avery. I still have some of those cartoons on several VHS tapes, including my most favorite scene with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck that always ALWAYS makes me laugh.
But this is getting off topic. The point is that modern cartoons are far more restricted than classic ones and this scene right here is one of many proofs. How many have actually thought or said out loud “Wait what!? How did this get a green light??” or something similar when seeing these kinds of things in cartoons that are, for example, aimed for little girls? As I said, classic cartoons had way more leniency then modern ones. One of the reasons I actually liked MLP G1. Surprisingly exciting. And I’m actually glad MLP: FiM pushes the limit.
Those two points are exactly the reason cartoons from that era are the real Golden Age of Animation. Oh and the fact that you hardly know anything from that era beyond that is both astounding and just plain sad. Fleischer Brothers? Tex Avery? Pre-Scooby Hanna-Barbera? Look them up, you’ll thank me.
Some old Looney Tunes cartoons did get banned for racism.
Unable to argue, because I don’t know those decades. The only show I’ve watched from those decades was a few episodes of 1960’s Astro Boy and I actually got a bit bored. The animation was nice though considering the decade. Oh sure there were Warner Bros. and Disney cartoons back then, but I did not count them in for two reasons:
Also I’m aware some of those old cartoons actually got banned for one reason or another.

Though it was the beginning of the era of Saturday morning cartoons. Which really saw its peak in the early 90s.
The 30’s-through-60’s called. They want to have a word with you.
In all seriousness, speaking as an animation enthusiast, the terms 80’s and golden age should never EVER be put in the same sentence. No era with such shoddy animation, lousy writing and dominance by toy companies, PhD-having know-it-all know-nothings and just plain non-cartoonists should even be considered a bronze age, let alone a golden one.
And that’s part of the reason why I said “most of them at least” and I didn’t include any DC movies or like that either because they are way too obvious. But when looking at shows like MLP you really wouldn’t expect to see something like this these days. Which is one of the reasons why 80’s was a golden age for cartoons.
Well, I can remember scene from Despicable Me that looked just like this (only with iron maiden instead of guillotine).
I can understand why…
