Kimba the White Lion is his name...

Sorry, just in a very nostalgic mood today.

Anybody remember Kimba?

Also watched the opening of Gigantor, Speed Racer, Astroboy and a bunch of late 60s/early 70s era TV ads.

YouTube is amazing.

1. LOVED IT -- as well as Speed Racer and Marine Boy (and Ultraman!!!)

[Mike 03]

2. Ultraman too! That whole series is on DVD, thankfully, or I would have looked for it

on YouTube too.

Marine Boy, that rings a vague bell! It sounds familiar!

3. Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robots (we must be about the same age)

Speed Racer -- Spritle, Chim-Chim, Trixe, and Racer X!!!!

8. We must be, although it threw me for a loop to see "1966" as the date for Kimba, because

I would only have been two, and I don't recall memories of Kimba, Ultraman, etc... until I was around age nine. Same for Gigantor and Astroboy.

9. Same age -- I'm 44

Kimba was a few years before Speed Racer. At least where I lived -- I grew up near Philly.

4. Mike this is a video which has been posted before.

I don't know if you have seen it. The reunion of a lion with the guys who raised him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjWtRYaxmWM

11. Wow. I can't say anything except that I'm crying with joy to watch this.

Getting so sentimental at my old age.

And thanks.

Wow...

7. I used to watch

kimba, speed racer, and astroboy too. What about johnny quest? Although it's not a cartoon I used to love ultra man.

10. That was MY FAVORITE cartoon!

Apparently they brought it back with a larger and uglier lion character. That sucks.
