HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE THREE OF US! Here’s the latest podcast featuring a joint Spanish / Japanese cartoon from the 1980s about a classic French story. You couldn’t make it up. DOGTANIAN is Tony’s latest choice, and we watched season 1, episode 11: Dogtanian’s Trance. Here’s the video:

We’ll be back in two weeks with another slice of childhood weirdness (listen to the end of this episode and Jim will tell you what it is). Have a great 2016!

Sorry we’ve been away for a bit, but we’re back with a few episodes in the can. First up, MERRY CHRISTMAS! Have yourself a Christmas Special. We asked our Twitter followers to choose a ropey holiday spectacular and this was the resounding winner. It is rotten (apart from Skeletor).

We’ll see you in 2016 for many more Animates adventures! Have a great Christmas and a very happy New Year.

Yes, we’re back! Sorry for the delay, it’s explained in the podcast.  Episode 7 is us watching the truly rotten Filmation’s Ghostbusters.  No, it isn’t the good Ghostbusters cartoon that you can remember.  Yes, it is a shameless cash-in.  Here’s the episode we watched, so give it a glimpse yourself:

Just have an anthropomorphic animal doing a thing! Welcome to cartoons in the 90s, everyone! Jim, Katie and Tony look at Biker Mice From Mars, discover the word “mousehood”, look at too many abs on mice, discuss female mechanics and read some of the most messed up fan fiction ever written on anything ever.

Oh yeah, and we promised… so click on the link below to read the fan fiction story / mouse erotica that we discuss at the end of the show. WARNING! NOT SAFE FOR WORK! Seriously. Very funny though…

It’s nice when people send us things on Twitter. We get very few death threats, which is always a bonus.

After listening to episode #5 – Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors – the splendid Lady Victoria on Twitter sent us the picture above. Mmmmm. Evil Space Honey.

On Tuesday, episode #6 will go live. It features some of the most disturbing fan fiction yet, copious amounts of cheese references and hench rodents. We watched episode 10 from series 1 of BIKER MICE FROM MARS, and you can watch the same video that we did below. Enjoy it and listen in on Tuesday!

This week Jim, Katie and Tony look at the début episode of French / Japanese / American / Canadian oddball series Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, or as listener “Badger Chris” calls it: Jayce and the Wheeled Techno Organic Shambles. Features some of the best theme music ever, a discussion on which vegetable is the most evil, yet another name for baby Mulgrew and how to source a lot of lead in a small amount of time.

Thanks once again if you’ve subscribed or taken the time to rate or review us, it really helps us out.  Episode 6 is revealed at the end of the episode, and it’s the choice of a listener (we may have also revealed it during the episode).  Make sure you follow us on Twitter and we’ll also tweet out some of the stuff we mention in the show during the course of this week. Ta!

After listening back to the previous AniMates episode, Jim went a bit mad and made these two memes.  BECAUSE THE INTERNET IS HIS PLAYGROUND.

How daft. Hey! Episode 5 is up on Tuesday, and it’s a proper cracker. We watched the first ever episode of 1980s classic (in the loosest possible sense) of Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors.  This is what we watched, maybe watch it yourself ahead of the podcast going live:

Don’t forget to subscribe, rate and review us on iTunes, Stitcher or Podbean. Because that makes us very happy indeed. See you Tuesday!

The choice of Mulgrew, we watched a whole episode of She-Ra full of innuendo, terrible logic and pounding disco music. Does She-Ra have split personalities? Are we meant to even like the Red Knight? Is Bow living a lie?

So Mulgrew chose the subject for Episode 4 (up on Tuesday) – it’s the almighty SHE-RA! Watch the same episode that we did ahead of time by having a glance at the video below.

See you all on Tuesday!
