Hungary has always made very fascinating shorts. Here's one I just thought about (the guy behind this ended up on "The Princess & The Goblin" decades later, but we can forgive him).
There's plenty of things we were denied seeing!
Pinwheel was like that all the time. I miss the sudden few seconds of prepubescent nudity I recall seeing in one of those cartoons they aired.
Not bad for a collaborative effort between the Weinsteins and Cinar, otherwise it probably would've gone to Intersound like they did with the other gnome-related toon and perhaps never got picked up by Nick!
I got a Beta cassette of the first episode to another Spanish-Japanese co-pro from the same group called "Around The World with Willy Fog". I first heard of this in the late 90's as I found the VHS edition of the same tape (put out by Sony in '85) at some store down the "Free Kid Vid" section. I think it's a shame Nick didn't pick up this otherwise as it would've been a cool addition next to Danger Mouse and Mysterious Cities of Gold. They were just kinda living off of this stuff before finally getting the nerve to make their own cartoons or buy more domestic product like Looney Tunes.
No comment here! Reminded of learning the dance part was animated by Mark Kausler who was proud to animate Stimpy's butt like ocean waves in one shot, but John Kricfalusi wasn't sure he could use it for a while until he decided to keep it in.
Cant forget that. Storyboard-driving cartoons were nowhere until he showed up.
The Justice Lords were far more compelling than the Crime Syndicate of Amerika from the comics. Well-meaning people forming an effective autocracy is much scarier than "evil versions of the main cast".
