For the honor of Greyskull

I just got the best keychain ever. Anyone else remember the princess of power from those cartoons we watched in the 80's? She-Ra!

Come to think of it - She-Ra, Jem and ThunderCats were pretty good role models for young girls.

If you wanna get your own badass keychain check out CartoonJunk on Etsy.

Outta My Way, Christmas Shoppers!

I was fighting my way through the crowds of people shopping for Christmas when this song popped into my head.



If you didn't watch Jem during your formative years, you missed out. I wrote about Jem and other great cartoons from my childhood here.

So far I've managed to stay away from the malls and have done most of my Christmas shopping online, at local independent stores or at farmer's markets.

Return to Fraggle Rock

The Fraggles are back! Those colorful, dancing, singing and hand clapping Jim Henson-puppets will be made into a feature film, according to Variety.

Now where did I put my Gobo doll?


Those of us who grew up in Sweden will remember this version. Ah, that was back in the day when there was only two channels on tv.

Here are some more gems from my childhood;

Gummi Bears


The Trap Door

Happy New 2008!

No one at my job seems to remember (or have seen) the 1980's cartoon Thundercats. What a shame! I know both me and my sister loved it.
I don't think it ever aired in Sweden, so we must have seen it on good old VHS-tapes sent over from England. Their theme song rocked too.



Rediscovering Thundercats made me think of the 80's cartoons that I loved to watch. This is what I found after a quick search on youtube:

She-Ra - He-Mans twin sister who rode a winged horse and kicked ass. And her sword was as big as He-Mans.



Jem and the Holograms - Singer Jem changes into her alter ego Jerrica with the help of holographic computer Synergy.
My favourite character was keyboard player Kimber with the red hair. Did I mention that I had bright red hair in high school?
