I'd have to watch the actual episodes now to see if I'd still find the show pretty quality or if it'd just come off cheesy to me, but that opening's still awesome. I used to love watching this show, especially the cg Quest World sequences they had.
If they did it right, a Johnny Quest movie would be pretty awesome. I actually remember a little while back seeing something on the movie websites about a Johnny Quest movie with Zac Efron and Dwayne Johnson potentially attached. Not sure what's happened with that since last I read about it.

Thank God Zac Efron is barely too old, because I think he actually looks the part fairly well. (edit to add, I just noticed that daventor mentioned ZE, I guess I wasn't the only one whose brain went there, sadly. But I will say that Dwayne Johnson shouldn't be in it. Who is he supposed to be, Race Bannon? Meh).
I miss my 80's cartoons. It was like some sort of golden age of awesome.
Does anyone remember watching a show about what I think was a sports team of some sort who were transported back to King Arthur's court? They had to fight the bad guys and save the kingdom, and had all these cool weapons, and they were searching for these keys that allowed them to transport forward in time back home, but they could only tough their own keys, or they'd disappear. It might have been a 90s show, but I was thinking about it the other day.
I loved this show when I was a kid. Feels like it was on for longer than two seasons, but that's it I guess, and it's coming out on DVD in the US in March. I am so wasting money on this next year! There are a lot of old 80s cartoons I'd buy on DVD if they were relatively cheap. I can't imagine they'd need to charge a lot for these, they're all 20 years old, only lasted for a couple seasons, and were a dime a dozen.

Wait...they're really turning it into a movie? Or is that part of the joke that I thought a Thundercats movie always was?

I dont know about Effron, but I've on;y seen one of his movies. Logan Lerman could kind of work, but I dont know.

When I clicked the link I was wondering whether it'd be Classic Quest or the 90s Quest. I was hooked on the 90s version with its early CGI.
Not sure how it would be as a movie. Its one of those shows that could go either way. On the bad end, I see blank-eyed teen pop stars being cast. And that worries me.

I loved that one too. I watched that game show all the time when it was on as a kid. I wish they'd bring a more updated version of it back. God forbid we should have educational kids game shows. Those guys were really funny during the second round of the show when they were searching beyond the signs.

M.A.S.K. Nuff said (okay, so the cartoon is really idiotic when you look back on it, but it and its toys were completely awesome back in the day)
Okay, so we didn't have cable (or NBC...or FOX) after I turned 6 so I couldn't actually *watch* any of these cartoons, but I *really* loved the toys.
