8984 -Old But Gold: Cartoons From The 1960S That We Watched And Fell In Love With

The animation industry of the 21st century is one of the most profitable industries in the world. Interestingly, before becoming the colossus it is today, the animation industry was not very well known during the first half of the 20th century. The U.S. did have cartoons even before Walt Disney, but they were not very popular beyond its borders, and Japan’s animations did not take shape until after World War 2 was over. Fast forward to the 1950s. This is when animated cartoons started to gain popularity. This is also where some of our most memorable cartoons from childhood first premiered.

For the sake of this list, we will not talk about Chinese animated cartoons. While China’s cartoons during the 1950s and 1960s were a huge part of our childhood memory (their animations were beautiful as well), 1: They were not very popular outside of China (and Asia), and 2: Chinese animations at the time were mainly propagandistic. The cartoons in this list will be mostly of Western and Japanese origins.

Most of the cartoons listed below can still be purchased on Amazon. These animated TV shows, in our opinion, are the most memorable ones from our childhood. If you are looking for a nostalgia trip, look no further.

#1 Astro Boy

Astro Boy (known as Mighty Atom in Japan) originated as a manga series that started in 1952. Three anime series have been made since then, one each in 1963, 1980 and 2003. There are also various spin-offs and even an American comic series in 1987. This cartoon series was the beginning of the aesthetic we now know as anime.

#2 George Of The Jungle

This cartoon series was inspired by the story of Tarzan, the difference is that George of the Jungle tells a more light-hearted story. George can be considered an “all brawl and no brains” character, but he does have a loving heart to make up for his shortcomings. The series had the potential to go further, but ultimately ended at just 17 episodes due to budget mismanagement.

#3 Kimba The White Lion

Kimba The White Lion was the first Japanese anime TV series in color. The show premiered in Japan in 1965, with several more series and movies following the success of the original.

People who have watched both this and Walt Disney’s 1994 feature The Lion King have noticed similarities between the two, sparking a debate on originality. The directors of The Lion King claimed that they did not know of Kimba The White Lion at the time of production, but apparently some members of the animation crew were fans of Kimba. The question of originality persisted to the 21st century with Disney’s recent trend of live-action remakes.

#4 King Kong

Also known as The King Kong Show. This series was the result of a collaboration between two media companies, one American and one Japanese. Contrary to the destructive power of the giant ape in the 1933 film, this fella is on humanity’s side, fending off villains and protecting humanity.

#5 Popeye The Sailor

Old But Gold 60S Cartoons Everyone Grew Up Watching5 -Old But Gold: Cartoons From The 1960S That We Watched And Fell In Love With

Popeye first appeared in a 1929 comic strip. The rising popularity of cartoon during the 1930s means that seeing Popeye show up in an animated cartoon was only a matter of time. While the series was first released in 1933, it was not until 1960 that he finally made his first appearance on the small screen.

#6 Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

A Hanna-Barbera classic. This was one of the most beloved cartoon series of the 1960s and 1970s. Like many cartoon shows of the same time, the script was simple and can be summarized in just a few sentences. But even then, we still fall in love with the characters and the adventures of Scooby-Doo and the gang.

#7 Spider-Man (1967)

Old But Gold 60S Cartoons Everyone Grew Up Watching7 -Old But Gold: Cartoons From The 1960S That We Watched And Fell In Love With

This is the very first animated TV series about Spider-Man. It is based on Stan Lee’s comic of the same name. Despite the comic book’s reputation, the animated series was not in top shape due to limited budget.

#8 The Alvin Show

The Alvin Show was originally planned to be made in color, but when the series first premiered on TV, it was in black and white. The recolored version was rebroadcast in the next year. While the original cartoon saw some success, the live-action remake and its sequels were met with mixed reviews. Still memorable regardless.

#9 The Beatles

An animated series featuring one of the biggest bands of the world flopping?

Well, reason number 1: The voice actor were Americans, not British.
Reason number 2: The animation style meant that it was no match against other cartoons of the same time.
Reason number 3: The real deal is just plainly better.

#10 The Bugs Bunny Show

Old But Gold 60S Cartoons Everyone Grew Up Watching10 -Old But Gold: Cartoons From The 1960S That We Watched And Fell In Love With

“What’s up, doc?” One simple line and we can all agree it’s time for The Bugs Bunny Show. Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck first appeared on TV on October 1960. The TV show lasted 40 years before being sold to a different media company.

#11 The Flintstones

Old But Gold 60S Cartoons Everyone Grew Up Watching11 -Old But Gold: Cartoons From The 1960S That We Watched And Fell In Love With

If your history lessons about Stone Age are starting to get to you, maybe it’s time for some Hanna-Barbera’s The Flintstones. A family living in a juxtaposed world of stone and machinery is what makes the TV show so popular. It was only surpassed by The Simpsons.

#12 The Mr. Magoo Show

Old But Gold 60S Cartoons Everyone Grew Up Watching12 -Old But Gold: Cartoons From The 1960S That We Watched And Fell In Love With

You’d think a cartoon series about an old man with poor eyesight and a lack of responsibility would be boring. Well, allow us to introduce: The Mr. Magoo Show. As mean as Mr. Magoo can be at times, his absurd luck always turned the tides in his favor. All these elements made for a very enjoyable series indeed.

#13 The New Adventures Of Superman

Old But Gold 60S Cartoons Everyone Grew Up Watching13 -Old But Gold: Cartoons From The 1960S That We Watched And Fell In Love With

It does not matter when or where you come from. Superman is instantly recognizable. Comic books, TV shows and movies, he is everywhere. The series premiered in 1964, and was the first to introduce to us some of its most iconic villains, such as Lex Luthor and Brainiac.

#14 The New Three Stooges

Old But Gold 60S Cartoons Everyone Grew Up Watching14 -Old But Gold: Cartoons From The 1960S That We Watched And Fell In Love With

The Three Stooges refers to the original trio Curly Howard, Larry Fine and Moe Howard. They were one of the most renowned comedy crews in America, boasting an impressive 48-year long career featuring some 190 short films.

They were so famous, it was natural that they showed up in TV shows. The cartoon series premiered in 1965 and featured a mix of live-action and animated segments. While the cast did not feature the original trio, the slapstick comedy remained.

#15 The Pink Panther Show

Since its premiere in 1969, Pink Panther has become an irreplaceable part of our childhood. That and the stealth-like theme music too. The series went on to spawn several sequels bearing the anthropomorphic panther’s name.

#16 Top Cat

Old But Gold 60S Cartoons Everyone Grew Up Watching17 -Old But Gold: Cartoons From The 1960S That We Watched And Fell In Love With

Another work of Hanna-Barbera. One point of interest worth pointing out, the series only had one season. During its prime time (time of premier), Top Cat was a failure. Ratings were low, as it had to contend with other major titles such as The Bugs Bunny Show.

When people achieve a certain degree of success, you almost expect them to change. With so much money and attention, it’s easy to fall into the pitfalls of arrogance and obnoxiousness. However, while there are lots of stuck-up celebs, there are also those who haven’t let fame go to their heads.

“Wealth and success don’t make you happy,” Leonardo DiCaprio once said. Perhaps as a result of this way of thinking, many people who work in the entertainment industry maintain a low-key lifestyle after their workday is done.

These people have succeeded in remaining grounded in an industry that tries to force them otherwise. They really understand what is truly important in life, whether it be giving money to charity, spending time with fans, or just being a good person. Millions of people from all over the world now love and appreciate them as a result. Here are 10 famous people who, when not in the spotlight, choose to lead quiet, modest lives.

#1 Angelina Jolie

#2 Cameron Diaz

Halle Berry is another celebrity who loves to live a simple life. She’s occasionally seen doing grocery shopping sans makeup and looking like an ordinary person.

Halle practices self-care and fitness to live a healthy lifestyle and inspire other women to do the same: “I got diagnosed with diabetes and I quickly learned that I could control my diabetes and live a longer, healthier life if I exercised regularly, changed my diet, and did some things in my life that are called de-stressors.”

He tries to keep his promise and spends a lot of time with Hailey.

#5 Kate Middleton

From 2010 to 2016, Leonardo DiCaprio was on Forbes’ annual list of highest-paid actors. He seems to be able to buy gold toilets and a new mansion every month. Instead, he opts for a normal life. For example, he was seen giving instructions to a lost tourist on a rainy day in Manhattan.

Furthermore, DiCaprio understands the needs of the poor and gives his money to the world. His foundation will donate $3 million to Australia’s bushfire recovery efforts in 2020.

#7 Mariah Carey

Commuting by subway is something that all of us who have to go to work or school do daily. But singer Mariah Carey thought there was no reason for her not to participate as well. She also took the subway since she wanted to be a part of this experience. But, of course, she did it her way, always looking dazzling and dressed as if she were preparing to perform. Yes, she took the subway in a gala gown in New York City, and she even captured the moment with a humorous story that she then posted on Instagram.

#8 Reese Witherspoon

Despite her amazingly successful career, the lead actress of Legally Blonde (2001) may easily demonstrate that she is a normal caring mother. She used to take her children, Ava and Deacon, to the park and babysit them while they played on the playground, just like any other non-celebrity mom. They’d then have a picnic and a couple of delicious slices of pizza.

#9 Shailene Woodley

I connect with the ground, the trees, just breathing fresh air while I go for a walk and I find myself living in my heart instead of in my mind,”  she says. Woodley prefers natural products and makeup and tries to live a natural life.

8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or CGI Remakes

9114 -8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or Cgi Remakes

We all are familiar with the live-action adaptation or CGI remakes of many Disney cartoons. Some notable names are Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Alice in Wonderland, and the list goes on. Many animated films have regained the heat after the live-action or CGI versions hit theaters. Some mediocre cartoons even have a chance to reach the top rank if the remakes are successful. Of course, besides Disney productions, cartoons from other studios are also considered to be put on the big screen, and here are 8 of them.

Scroll down to see if your favorite one has its name on the list!

#1 The Last Unicorn (1982)

Live Action Animation 3 -8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or Cgi RemakesSource: Amazon Prime Video

Topcraft’s animation is the journey of the last eternal unicorn to find other members of her kind. The team of the unicorn, a bumbling magician, and a bandit’s wife sets off on a fascinating adventure and faces many dangers. On the way, the legendary creature learns many precious lessons about love and regret.

A weak point in the original version is the stiff and awkward character designs. However, it lays a strong foundation for a CGI mixed live-action remake.

#2 The Adventures of Mark Twain (1985)

Live Action Animation 4 -8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or Cgi RemakesSource: Peacock

Will Vinton introduced the enthralling works of the father of American literature to children through this stop-motion animation. The audience would follow Tom Sawyer and his friend to discover Mark Twain’s airship. They explored the place while watching and listening to Twain’s stories before they realized the ship was heading into Halley’s Comet.

As stop-motion has many limits, the film’s CGI remake seems to promise a much better version. The lively animation associated with the famous writer’s absorbing stories will make it a top-notch movie.

#3 Perfect Blue (1997)

Live Action Animation 8 -8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or Cgi RemakesSource: AMC+

Perfect Blue revolved around Mima Kirigoe, a J-pop idol-turned-actor. Mima intends to stick to her acting career, but a menace of a mysterious stalker and a series of peculiar murders around her mess up her plan.

This adult animated film could become a fascinating psychological thriller with an ideal cast as Mima and the right level of visual effects.

#4 We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story (1993)

Live Action Animation 6 -8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or Cgi RemakesSource: Apple TV

With the time machine, a scientist decides to gift the children of the 20th century in New York City with sentimental dinosaurs brought from their natural habitats. 

We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story could be turned into a lovely live-action CGI hybrid film. Cinematic dinosaurs can’t be more real, and this lighthearted script will make dinosaurs’ images much better, at least compared to Jurassic Park. After all, people should be reminded that dinosaurs are more than monsters.

#5 Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland (1989)

Live Action Animation 5 -8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or Cgi RemakesSource: Amazon Prime Video

Little Nemo is upset since his parents are too busy to take him to the circus. That night, he meets members of the circus in his dream, and they introduce him to King Morpheus, ruler of Slumberland. When Nemo sees the king, he was offered an opportunity to rule the kingdom and protect it from the Nightmare King.

A dreamland like Slumberland is a perfect place for creativity, and innovative animators know how to make the best use of it. Looking at similar movies like Inside Out and Soul will make you certain about the success of this film’s CGI remake.

#6 Animal Farm (1954)

Live Action Animation 1 -8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or Cgi RemakesSource: imdb.com

The animated movie Animal Farm was adapted from George Orwell’s famous novel of the same name. The story is about an animal farm that represents the rise of the Soviet Union. Under the Old Major the boar’s leadership, the animals of Manor Farm chase away the farmer to gain independence. However, the utopia turns out a nightmare for the animals under the dominance of Major’s successors.

Andy Serkis is the director of the latest animated adaptation of the story. His talent combined with the assistance of CGI technology will likely guarantee a first-rate adaptation movie.

#7 Wizards (1977)

Live Action Animation 2 -8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or Cgi RemakesSource: Apple TV

Written by Ralph Bakshi, the movie feature the fight between two wizard brothers over the governance of a post-apocalyptic Earth. The malicious brother, Blackwolf, uses a projector with Nazi propaganda to provoke his troop. To stop his evil plan, Avatar, his brother, with some weird companions decide to confront him.

The action flick doesn’t leave much impression on the viewers due to its old-fashioned and cheap-looking animation. The battle could be more exciting and absorbing with more detailed character designs in the CGI remake.

#8 Cats Don’t Dance (1997)

Live Action Animation 7 -8 Non-Disney Cartoons That Promise Remarkable Live-Action Or Cgi RemakesSource: Apple TV

The young cat Danny is ambitious about becoming a renowned Hollywood actor. However, he gradually realized that animal actors only play cameo roles while humans take charge of all the main parts. Instead of giving up, he and his fellow actors are determined to prove their capability and get what they deserve.

Though the animation Cats Don’t Dance failed hard, the meaningful premise should be brought back to the screen. Having been successful with Space Jam: A New Legacy, Warner Brothers can definitely handle a new version with CGI models of Cats Don’t Dance.

12 Low-Budget Films That Made Eye-Popping Revenue at the Box Office

9110 -12 Low-Budget Films That Made Eye-Popping Revenue At The Box Office

There’s no denying that movies are more costly than ever. It’s not rare for a production company to invest hundreds of millions ( even billions) in filmmaking. As long as you have the right actor, director, or intellectual property, you may be able to recoup your huge investment. But what about ambitious directors who can’t afford to make a film about your favorite superhero or cast any big-name actors? The independent market is for directors with a limited budget. Low investment, low return.

However, there are certain exceptions: when a low-budget film outperforms expectations. This unusual event can launch unknown actors to stardom and first-time directors to legends. You may be familiar with some breakout independent films, but you’d be shocked how many of your favorite films had a far lower budget than you expected.

To clarify, this list isn’t rated only by the lowest budget, but rather by how successful the films were given the budget they had to deal with. So, without further ado, here are 12 low-budget films that went on to become box office hits.

#1 A Nightmare on Elm Street

  • Budget: $1,800,000
  • Box Office: $57,000,000

Before New Line Cinema agreed to produce the story of Freddy Krueger, which was rejected by many businesses. However, the studio had financial difficulties throughout filming. The cast and crew worked for two weeks without pay. The company was successful in attracting investors and achieving its first commercial success.

#2 Blue Valentine

  • Budget: $1,000,000
  • Box Office: $16,600,000

Many years passed between the time the script was written and the film’s release. The director wanted to shoot the characters at different ages, but due to financial limitations, this was not possible. He also waived his fees to help finance the film. But it all paid off when the film became a smashing blockbuster.

#3 Boyhood

  • Budget: $4,000,000
  • Box Office: $57,300,000

It took 12 years to complete this film. The director updated the script every year, and the actors based their characters on real-life examples. The crew met 1-2 times every year for 3-4 days of filming. Despite the risks, the producers supported the extended production, which resulted in some extremely cool effects.

#4 Dirty Dancing

  • Budget: $5,000,000
  • Box Office: $214,600,000

It took a lot of effort to make this film. Companies turned down the script one by one, the budget was twice as low as average, and the film’s main actors all had conflicts. Even after the film was completed, no one liked it. Despite this, it became a film classic, grossing more than $200 million.

#5 Insidious

  • Budget: $1,500,000
  • Box Office: $99,500,000

The creators of the Saw film franchise made this film. Again, a minimal budget did not prevent the crew from making a picture in three weeks and recouping expenses up to 66 times over, since the film grossed almost $100 million.

#6 Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels
