Ep 256: 'LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles'
Saturday Dec 07, 2019
Saturday Dec 07, 2019
#BabyYoda, am I right? Unfortunately, you won't find the pint-sized Force-wielder in the 2013 animated series 'LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles', but you will find a lot of age-appropriate jokes, 'Star Wars' lore, and plenty of zany adventures befitting this Legends story.
Dave and Sean launch into December with 'LEGO Star Wars' month, celebrating all things #StarWars! We're also enjoying #TheMandalorian on #DisneyPlus, which is where you can also find these 'LEGO Star Wars' series while we await the arrival of 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.' Enjoy!

Ep 255: Miyazaki's Thanksgiving Special: 'The Mouse on the Mayflower'
Saturday Nov 23, 2019
Saturday Nov 23, 2019
On this special holiday episode of Saturday Mourning Cartoons, Sean and Dave review the 1968 Rankin/Bass Thanksgiving holiday special, 'The Mouse on the Mayflower.' Featuring the voice work of Tennessee Ernie Ford and June Foray, with writing from Romeo Muller, and some animation work from the one and only Hayao Miyazaki. That's right! The legendary Studio Ghibli co-founder worked as a key animator for Toei, which animated this first holiday special from the studio behind stop-motion classics like 'Rudolph' and 'Frosty'!
But how does it hold up? And how has history remembered it?

Saturday Nov 02, 2019
Saturday Nov 02, 2019
We're completing our Disney+ Marvel animated series set (for now) with the '96 cartoon, #TheIncredibleHulk. If you ever wanted to see Bruce Banner in a T. rex-armed Hulkbuster armor take on the Savage Hulk himself, this one's for you.
But we have questions: How does a nutrient bath work? What's up with Frank/Rick Jones? Can we play a game of poker with Gray Hulk? All that and more won't be answered on this episode of the podcast!

Ep 253: 'Fantastic Four' Review
Saturday Oct 26, 2019
Saturday Oct 26, 2019
Following up on last week's revisit of the 90s animated series, #IronMan, we're doubling down on Marvel animation with the paired 90s series #FantasticFour.
Will Marvel ever be able to get the First Family right? Did they manage to do so back in the 90s in animated form? Is it worth watching when it arrives on Disney+? The answers won't surprise you but they should entertain you.

Ep 252: 'Marvel's Iron Man' Review
Saturday Oct 19, 2019
Saturday Oct 19, 2019
We're getting a jump on the Disney+ arrivals with a revisit of the 90s animated series, 'Marvel's Iron Man.' Arriving nearly 15 years before the live-action movie that launched the MCU into the stratosphere, this cartoon is a stark (pun!) reminder that superhero stories are tough to do right ... and absolutely catastrophic when done wrong.

Ep. 251: 'Seis Manos' Review
Saturday Oct 12, 2019
Saturday Oct 12, 2019
On this episode, Dave Trumbore reviews 'Seis Manos', the new anime series on Netflix that comes from Powerhouse Animation and co-creators Brad Graeber and Álvaro Rodríguez. It combines Mexican mythology, 70s kung fu flicks, and the grindhouse stylings of Robert Rodriguez. This one isn't for the faint of heart, but it is for fans of MexicAnime.
