classic cartoons where are they now????

   Why would I blog about classic cartoon shows and when I mean "classic" how classic are they?
  Well it doesn't have to be too classic... but I can always talk about that too,

 First off Micky Mouse has gone through a changr for a sure. The voice actor, Wayne Alwine, died of diabetes and they replaced him with someone else similar to his voice talents but the biggest change wasn't the voice, it was the way he looked, They cut down the Mickey Mouse episodes into shorts and Minnie is still voiced the same, stiled different. They looked as if they were drawn through a dark pencil marking. It seems pretty cool. I've seen a few episodes and short as they are, they held up to the classics from the thirties and fourties not that stupid "Mickey Mouse Club" crap, they went back to the classic Mickey and I like that.

 Betty Boop had a few changes of course, did you know when she first appeared the animators made her into a dog? Yes that's right a dog. I think the episode is called "Dizzy Dishes" You can find it on YouTube. She is on for a short time but her design is far different from the way she is now. Actually the voice actress, Mae Questal, did the voice for so many decades until her retirement and death The changes of Betty Boop was seen in many shorts and it seemed by the late 40's her look was the way it looks today, a woman who would stay black and white forevver (although some cartoons, she was in color)

 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have defiently changesd for sures, with their voices and action styles and from being a cartoon or a puppet, the 1980's version was always considered a classic gem, but I don't think it was always the best. Why? Well because the voice actors would juggle ariund from one turtle to antoher (you can hear a difference) the styles and animation were low key and so were the catchphrases, but a big plus, the voice actor for Shredder. The actor who plyaed Uncle Phil in the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, James Avery (but he is much scarier as Uncle Phil for sure)
   When Nickelodeon came around and changed it, we were in for a huge surprise. It turned out to be awesome, making it darker and have deeper story infect, it told much detaling on Splinter's life before he turned into... I don't even know how that happens. One of the voice actors went from one Teenage Moutant NInja Turtles to the other. Rob Paulsen now voices Donatello. But there are some upsets as well, who they got to voice Shredder He's ok, but I liked James Avery more and April is now a teenager, not a news reporter with yellow jumpsuit. But I feel as if the shows go on, it's the turtles that are in more danger than she is, I don't know It's nothing like the 80's version, but I still like the style and story complexity.
  But I wouldn't consider it a classic. But something to know where they are now

     Some classic cartoons fade away with the night as the sun rises and then there are some that get cosmetic changes, different voice actors and suprises that you might like or hate Cartoons are there to entertain us, for us to enjoy even if we get older, we are classic for those nostalgic cartoons, even Warner Brother made Bugs Bunny and Daffy live in a house now and made the show seem more like a Seinfeld episode for kids, but I perfer the classic, I know they're trying but I don't like it as Mel Blanc voicing these characters.  Even Inspector gadget got a different version of him from two flopped movies (see the cartoon) and then were made fun of on Robot Chicken

   Then again maybe it's best to figure out which classic cartoons are best alone and weather or not to change them by movie or by another series. Till then enjoy the new year coming and Ciao Bloggers! For this year anyway
