Visionaries
 

I just watched the first episode of this on youtube and was really impressed. How did I not know of this cartoon long ago? The animation and storytelling is top notch and the voice acting crew are a bunch of the G1 Transformers crew including Peter Cullen and Chris Latta. Anyone else here enjoy this cartoon?

I started watching them recently too. I was impressed with what I've seen so far. I did not watch these originally. But I do rememer seeing the toys in the stores. They had articulation similiar to the G I Joes and the holograms were really neat.

I was a fan way back when. Had a bunch of the figures. I should look into this and re-watch. I'm just afraid it won't hold up to the test of time, like so many of my childhood favorites.

To me, it holds up better than Joe or He-Man.

It's right there. All you have to do is press the play button. You know you want to. You know you must. Just one tiny click. Do it! Do it! :)

loved that show!

I think I only liked this show because it was that same TF/Joe group of toon makers and voice actors. But it was still a shame it didn't do more than the initial 13 eps. I think it was 13. Can't remember offhand.

Would love to see this remade today, the same way they are doing Thundercats there's quite a few I would like to see.

The list is as follows:
Silverhawks
Galaxy Rangers
Pirates of Dark Water
Masters of the Universe
Bravestarr
Thundarr the Barbarian
Herculoids
Mighty Mightor
Blackstar
Bucky O'Hare (Done in a more realistic style)
Starcom
Ulysses31

And with these new cartoons I would love to see them do Figures of the characters.

I loved this show back then. Too bad it didn't last that long. The toys were really good, great articulation, but the hologram thing really didn't do justice to the show transformations.

I used to love The Visionaries, why was it that female characters from the 80s good or bad were always brilliant!
Masters of the Universe was my first love, but ThunderCats overrode that, I also used to like BraveStarr and Bucky O'Hare.

It was a great show and thanks to the full series DVD release, I still enjoy watching it ;)

With all the popularity for "Harry Potter", one would think that it would be smart to redo "Visionaries", since they dealt with magic/sorcery.

I missed out on the DVD that was made for this short-lived (and very cool) cartoon. :( I had some of the figures growing up, and I remember watching it on TV (Not sure if I watched them all or not when I was young).
