But what really set it apart was the namesake of the show - the super-powered masks the characters wore.

Joe- Transformers hybrid, but it managed to combine the best elements of those franchises while adopting few of their flaws. One of the more popular cartoon/toy marketing machines of the Eighties was M.A.S.K., the Mobile Armored Strike Kommand (yes, command with a 'K', that's what happens when you have to make an acronym fit into your story concept). You might just find yourself animated by it. So put away your ink and paint for a while and have a look at this list.
CARTOON GORILLA DESTROYS SERIES
From classic tales of cats chasing mice to the legend of a Dark Knight avenger patrolling the streets of a place called Gotham, from incompetent alien invaders to incompetent nuclear families, from stories of the future to sagas of the past, IGN's Top 100 Animated Series has it all. In fact, as we prepped for this story and looked back at our many favorite animated series from over the years, we were amazed by the diversity of the shows that we came up with. And in particular, television has proven to be a hugely important part of our toon-development, starting from our earliest days with the Saturday morning and after-school shows and continuing right on to today with the more mature Adult Swim offerings and the like. And so it goes without saying that we sure do love us some cartoons. Once mostly deemed to be the territory of a kids-only audience, the world of animation has evolved over the years so as to appeal to adults as well as children… or is it just that many adults these days have the minds of children?ĭon't ask us, for if there's one thing that the IGN editors can claim to be, it's kids trapped in the bodies of adults.
