 Hey, I was just taking to Harlan on the internet and I told him I hadn't seen a good cyberspace scene like this once since Tron, which is not the film that broke the bank at Disney in 1983, like some believe. Nooo, Tron came out in '82, three years after Disney's The Black Hole, which was Movieland's equivalent to the Hindenburg. What a disaster! And the robots? They made R2D2 look like Lawrence Olivier. |

So anyway, back to 1983 at Disney. Their big film that bombed in 83 wasn't Tron, it was Something Wicked This Way Comes, which is actually pretty fun. But it comes across too soft. And it lost a fortune! Anyway, that brought about the arrival of Eisner and Katzenberg.

Fanboy would later get sucked into the internet himself, only he stayed in it. He is currently known as tv tropes and is in a relationship with Wikipedia.

 From the very second I first saw this show, I noticed the striking resemblance to the 'fuller' kid on the right and Fanboy from Freakazoid. Yet, for some reason, the creators of this program chose to name that kid "Chumchum" and the other kid "Fanboy"! I'm hoping that was done in a "they changed it just enough so they don't have to pay us" reason so that Spielberg couldn't get too mad.  |

Loved Freakazoid. Felt like someone took the Mike Allred comic character Madman and changed it a tiny bit.

Hey! Cut it out! Fun thing I read is that apparently in one of the Animaniacs comics, that actually worked on the Warner siblings. |

Will this thread help me to tell the difference between who is a real monkey and who's a guy in a monkey suit in the movie CONGO?

I do wonder what would have happened if Freakazoid was the more straight forward action show it was pitched as...
For some reason I don't think it would be as well remembered.
