CHILDHOOD MYSTERY RESOLVED OMGOMGOMGOMG.
Jan. 11th, 2009 03:40 amOkay.
So for, like, years? I had this bit of a theme from an 80s cartoon in my head. I could not for the life of me remember just what the flying fuck it came from. YEARS. And then, today, the answer inadvertently fell into my lap.
It was the theme song from this.
So yes. Genetically engineered mutant angry sentient plant creaturesthat look slightly like the lovechild of Toad and Freiza on drugs threatening the universe, and the only thing that can stop them is a bunch of characters, a magic root of some sort, and... freaky Mad Max vehicles.
What sort of psychopath can think this up?
Oh yes. HIM:
The main in the photo, in case you're wondering, is J. Michael Straczynski. Aka The Great Maker. Aka the creator of Babylon 5.
Yes. This (and He-Man, but shhhh) is what he made about a decade before he made B5. In collaboration with a French dude whose name doesn't even matter because it fails to echo the sheer epic of JMS.
... This is a childhood mystery resolved to me. Now if only I can figure out the name and artist who performed this one particular tune that never leaves my head, my life's purpose shall be fulfilled and i could die a happy fuzzbucket.
Shame that'll never happen. oh well.
Edit to clarify: The "this one particular tune that never leaves my head" isn't related to any of this - it's a completely different childhood mystery, which will probably forever remain one. But thanks for letting me know that the infamous Haim Saban/Shuki Levy combo worked on THIS one too. Come to think of it, there weren't a lot of 80s cartoons they weren't involved in in some way. o-o
