Somehow Filmation's style grew on me over time. I remember, when He-Man came out. It was the first Filmation series i watched. Heck, at the same time shows like Thundercats were on and i didn't understand why He-Man was so strangely animated.
After watching a few Filmation series ( going through Godzilla now ) i now know what to expect. Meanwhile it's a treat, when i find unwatched Filmation shows.
Haha, I think maybe I feel you on that.
Filmation worked so much better when it came to shades of comedy & farce, and for me, there was a tonne of understated comedy & farce in He-Man, hearkining back to lots of H-B farce. (never watched Godzilla personally, have no interest at all, sadly or unsadly)
So Filmation to me were mostly disappointing (and again, the damn limited budget) when it came to TAS, but they also had to walk a sort of line, just like Rankin-Bass with The Hobbit, and then the "Return of the King."
The first one was fairly charming (and the songs were absolutely awesome), based on a children's book, but the latter?
Yeah, that shizzle just didn't work for a serious fantasy epic. Okay, I'll admit it had its points, but Rankin-Bass was so *not* the animation studio to do RotK, other than bringing back the super-charming... Glenn Yarbrough (sp?) as the narrator-singer.
You made me remember these Tolkien films i saw when very young, never had an opportunity to watch again and completely forgotten. Going to rewatch now, you got me very curious, since also only now they are Rankin-Bass.
Yeah, Godzilla is pretty bad. I think it's fair to say, that watching one episode is enough to get to know almost everything about it. I just find it interesting to see different stages of their animation style through the years.
