Cartoon Car Toons!

I remember when I was a kid I used to watch the tube while I sit on the couch and enjoy eating my brunch. One of my most favorite kiddy series is the Transformers. I would stop whatever I was doing when its time to feed my eyes with the show. It was fun. Do you remember the Transformers?

The first The Transformer movie was shown back in 1986 where Peter Cullen plays the voice of Autobot leader Optimus Prime. And after 20 years, another movie will be made and will be on theaters this coming July 4th. The film has been created under the direction of Michael Bay with Steven Spielberg acting as the executive producer. The same robot war concept is shown in the movie.

I was not so impressed with the technology used in the movie shown in 1986. With the latest and modern technology of today, I guess the movie coming soon will be packed with more action and war fights. We should all be watching out for its premiere.

I’ve always been a lover of fairy tales. Yes, I once was a child too, haha! Fairy tales give me the amazing feeling that everything can happen and wishes can really be granted.

My first fairy tale was Cinderella. I watched it during the days when “betamax players” were still the most advanced viewing options. Oh well, a few years later, I’ve learned from my mom that the name Cinderella was from the word “cinder” or ashes. And since Cinderella became a slave to her step mom and stepsisters, she was always covered with rags and cinders. Okay, it makes sense.

So since everyone knows Cinderella’s story, I just like to emphasize my fascination with her pumpkin coach. For those who have already forgotten about it, this is the very ride that Cinderella used when she attended the Prince’s ball at the palace. By the way, thanks to her fairy godmother, this ordinary pumpkin became a full-size horse-drawn coach (of course, the mice became the horses.)

And so, hail to the fairy god mother,to the pumpkin and to the mice!!!!

So what’s new Scooby-Doo?

Scooby-Doo, the famous Saturday morning show, has been a part of the viewing routine of the kids all over the world, and not to mention, all the kids-at-heart. It was produced by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears in 1963 for Hannah-Barberra Productions.

The cartoon show is a combination of mystery, thrill and fun with cool characters that signify different personalities, from the bravest, the brainy, the fashionista one and of course, the coward. And it wouldn’t be complete without the famous great dane, Scooby-Doo.

The gang, collectively known as the mYstery, Inc., is composed of Freddie, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy and of course, Scooby-Doo. They are the best when int comes to solving mysteries about ghosts. Together, they ride in a green van called the Mystery Machine and run from ghosts or chase after criminals and villains, who happen to be pretending as ghosts.

And so, the gang wouldn’t be able to complete their tasks without the Mystery Machine and of course, their loyal friend and driver, Shaggy.

And to pay tribute to the Mystery Machine, a huge Scooby-Doo fan made an exact replica of the van, getting praises from everyone who sees it. As the tradition goes, “Be sure to wave when you see it!”.
