“We’re already canceled, so let’s do whatever we want.”
Flashes of 90’s X-Men after they shipped production to a tiny Filipino studio. Weird shit.
“Beast’s head is too big for his body. We either need to make his head smaller, or his body bigger. Y’know what? Let’s play it safe and do both.”
Memory engram unlocked.
I don’t remember, but that carebears starship is too damn familiar.
I had no idea these were Canadian
They aren’t, according to the wiki page.
Care Bears are multi-colored bears, painted in 1981 by (American) artist Elena Kucharik to be used on greeting cards from American Greetings.
The animated series, however, was produced by Nelvana, a Canadian animation studio.
Ah that’s where the Canadian part comes in. Good catch. “The Care Bears” animated series was American, the later “Care Bear Family” series was Canadian.
The Care Bears Family is a Canadian animated television series produced by Nelvana and C.B.I.S. Productions based on the American franchise of the same name, and is the successor series to the American animated series produced by DIC Entertainment
All the best SciFi comes out of Canada.
I’m gonna tell my kids this was Star Trek The Animated Series
Wait, what?
Precisely that. First I’ve heard of it, and now I must, uh, research my heritage.
I keep discovering things from the 80s kid me would have loved but I never knew existed until my late 40s.
It’s like one of the later seasons of The Smufs where they got stuck in a Quantum Leap type situation where they traveled through time or some shit. They were low on ideas after a while.
I have a direct answer to that question! The oral history on how the Care Bears made a Star Trek parody can be found in a recent video by Allison Pregler: https://youtu.be/t_pYuglkn84
That wasn’t a Mandela effect!?!?
A Canadian cartoon about caring bears for kids sounds like exactly the kind of thing that would exist in the Federation. It would just be on the Holodeck
Seven of Nine could have some damn peace and quiet in astrometrics
How about now?
No.
…how about now?
I did want to .47 seconds ago but now I don’t have the time. You missed your opportunity kiddo
I was a kid in this era, saw some of these episodes, and thought nothing of it.
After all, the Muppet Babies were doing Star Wars….
Also Star Trek.
Wait! How’d they wrangle that? They…oh wait it’s parody.
Muppet Babies would occasionally use actual Star Trek and Indiana Jones footage, they could get the rights because 20th Century Fox. I doubt Paramount let them use actual TNG footage.
AND an intro where they’re waking up from a nap but it’s interspliced with the scene from Aliens where the Colonial Marines are waking up from hyper sleep on the Sulaco
Say what you want, but I liked the Bobby’s World parody. The only thing I remember about it was he was the captain of the Boobyprise
Low budget??? They paid my buddy Gord a two-fer and a sandwich for each episodes I’ll tell you that!
What? I gotta watch this!
Pigs in Space is Conan too this is my position
