    My favorite intro would have to be for Thundercats, though X-men and Visionaries are runners-up. Gets the adrenaline going!

    I collect intro's to old cartoons i used to watch, and have quite a few of them on my computer. Also intro's for a few old tv shows. My collection includes: Dungeons and Dragons, Aeon Flux, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Animaniacs, Galaxy High, 2 intros from different seasons of GI Joe, Gummy Bears, Heathcliff, He-Man, The Incredible Hulk, The Real Ghostbusters, Ren and Stimpy, Silverhawks, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Thundarr the Barbarian, Thundercats, a lost intro never used for Thundercats, 3 different intros for Transformers from different seasons, Visionaries, Voltron with the cats, and X-men. And then, i also have intros for Alf, a rare trippy Doctor Who intro used for John Pertwee only once, the first intro used for Doctor Who with Tom Baker, The Muppet Show, and Pinwheel.

    If anyone wants to trade, or really wants one of them, PM me your email address, and make sure that the account will be able to accept a large file and it won't bounce back to me.

    No contest..., The Simpsons have the best cartoon intro ever.

    Number two would be the Amazing Spiderman intro, ..."Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spider can. Spins a web anytime, catches thieves.., just like flies, lookout, here comes the Spiderman..."

    Lykan, nostalgic or what. I remember all of those

    Heathcliff, the rough orange cat.
    Dungeons and Dragons, that fair ground trip that went awry

    Anyone remeber Lone Star with that talking horse or MASK

    I loved MASK, so I'm voting for that but Invader Zim is a close second

    Simpsons is of course the best, but I like the Power Puff Girls intro too.

    THE INCREDIBLE HULK!.... If any of you have ever seen this Retro classic you will realize it is the worst cartoon show ever. The show is just a bunch of unanimated pictures sewn together. Best of all, the hulk flies!

    Yeah, i've seen The Incredible Hulk and it was terrible. The intro is very funny -- they try to make Hulk look incredibly tough yet caring and helpful at the same time. A flying saucer comes down out of the sky firing lasers at Hulk point blank and missing him with all of them. Then finally a laser blast manages to hit him square in the chest, sending him smashing into a nearby building. A fair maiden is up on an outer stairwell at the top of the building, and gets knocked off when Hulk smashes into the building. Hulk managed to stand up from beneath a pile of rubble from the building just in time to look up and catch her. Then the flying saucer shoots two more shots at them as Hulk is holding her -- both miss, Hulk shakes his fist menacingly at the flying saucer, and then jumps off-screen.

    Hey, does anyone know what it says, when Maggie is registered at the grocery store? I can never catch it on time.

    Notes

    Thor

    The "NRA 4 Ever" in the Simpsons opening is just a joke from the 136th Episode Spectacular (or whatever number that was ... a clip show with Troy McClure). A frame-by-frame shows ... well, I forget what it shows, but it's a ludicrous number as I recall; something like $836.04.

    I might also point out that such is about as accurate as the occasion that the Simpson family was said to be from northern Kentucky. While it is true that there is a Springfield, Kentucky, and that Shelbyville, Kentucky is within 50 or 60 miles, subsequent rebroadcasts of the episode move through the whole US, including Illinois (the obvious one) and Missouri. (As a side note, catch the "super bowl" episode when Homer and the gang hop a bus to the super bowl; at Mo's bar, they keep covering their mouths like a superstition whenever they say the name of a team, so that they can just put whatever teams in there the occasion demands.

    But I've only ever done that a couple of times. It's possible that there are 40 or 50 things that the cash register says.

    On Cartoon Intros

    I'm a huge fan of The Simpsons, but my current favorite is actually a short spot that they show on Cartoon Network's Toonami bloc. I don't get it; I think it's part of a larger film, computer animated. A little dude in a spacesuit comes flying along with a jetpack (from where?) and lands in the hangar of a huge spaceship, whereupon he takes an elevator to the 42nd floor, and then switches over to a glass-bubble elevator bearing the name of the ship. He walks into a control room, sits down, pushes a couple of buttons, and the cartoon begins. And, later in the show, the character does video game reviews (Drop-Ship last week). The character and spaceship apparently occur for another CN program, which is a voted cartoon movie. I never would have thought about the intro as anything special except for the 42nd floor transfer point, and also the name of the spaceship that is written on the door of the bubble elevator: Absolution. It's almost creepy.

    thanx,
    Tiassa

    The brief, animated commercials the scifi channel uses are very cool. I'd have to say the guy who's iris turns into a 'certain ringed planet' would have to be my favorite. Also, during movies, they have pieces of popcorn floating around. Very cool.

    Spongebob Squarepants intro is absolutely ridiculous. The show is crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy fun. I love it.

    Ms. Puff: Now Spongebob, what do we do in the car first?

    Spongebob: Put the key in the ignition.

    Ms. Puff: Now what, Spongebob?

    Spongebob: FLOOR IT!!

    Ms. Puff: No, Spongebob, don't floor it..

    Spongebob: FLOOR IT!!

    I've watched some of the episodes, and they're not as dumb as people think.
