About this product

Product Information

Totally Awesome: The Greatest Cartoons of the Eighties is the ultimate guide to 80s cartoon nostalgia, featuring the art, toys, and inside story behind icons like He-Man, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, G.I. Joe, and the Thundercats. It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. But for a generation of fans, it was truly, truly the most outrageous of times. The last decade for both a thriving schedule of network Saturday morning cartoons and a full complement of weekday syndicated programming, the 1980s saw a television animation boom featuring a cast of colorful and eclectic characters. The offerings ran the gamut from the blatantly commercial (He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, created after restrictions on children's broadcasting were altered to allow programming based directly on merchandise) to the surprisingly unmarketable (Jem, canceled despite its popularity due to its failure to sell fashion dolls) to the utterly inexplicable (The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse, helmed by underground animation legend Ralph Bakshi and future Ren and Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi). Andrew Farago, a respected cartoon historian and a child of the eighties himself, provides an inside look at the history of the most popular cartoons of the decade, as told by the writers, animators, voice actors, and other creative talents who brought life to some of the era's most enduring animation, along with forgotten classics. FEATURED CARTOONS INCLUDE: He-Man and the Masters of The Universe G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero The Smurfs The Transformers Jem and the Holograms The Real Ghostbusters Garfield and Friends The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse Jim Henson's Muppet Babies Disney's DuckTales Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Inspector Gadget Star Wars Animated Adventures ThunderCats

Excellent! THE Testament to 1980's American Animation, Beatifully Designed, Interviews Writers, Animators, Artists with Fan Input! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
WOW! I am an animation collector and somewhat of an animation historian and I found myself learning things I never knew! The book covers the most popular 1980's American Animation TV series such as Thundercats, JEM, He-Man and She-Ra, The Real Ghostbusters, Transformers, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers and many more! Andrew Farago, the author, interviewed those involved in the production of those animations including creators, writers, editors, artists and voice actors! The Quality of the book is also top notch, the artwork is not simple grainy screen shots from youtube but actual animation cels, storyboards and sketches as they exist now as relics, on beautiful glossy pages and have some special inserts to involve the reader in the animation process! This is not a book on how to animate, but an explanation of the importance of these amazing 80's productions to viewers world wide! Truly engaging and a Testament to the history of animation! If you love animation, especially the 1980's cartoons (and they do shout out some of the amazing outsourced Japanese talent) you need to buy this book! I HIGHLY Recommend!
