Favorite scenes from cartoons? [spoilers]

[gtJormungand]

In Transformers: Beast Wars, I really enjoyed the entire episode where unmodified Dinobot dies so valiantly.

(Can't find the darn quote I want for it...)

Do you mean:

One lonely turncoat, battling on against impossible odds. I'm almost touched. Fortunately, such moments quickly.

But that episode of Beast Wars, "Code of a Hero" (season 2, episode 9), is my absolute favorite episode period.

JLU is has been coming close, though. I especially enjoyed the lines from the episode where the heroes are turned in to children. Those were quite funny.

Classic Warner Bros.:
-- The early Daffy Duck cartoon in which Daffy, for no apparent reason, starts leaping around the wetlands singing, "The Merry Go Round Broke Down"
-- The Wile E. Coyote cartoon with all the malfunctioning catapults.
-- Duck Twacy, Private Eye.
-- DUCK DODGERS in the 24th and a half CENTURY! "But why would you want to blow up the Earth?" "Because it obstructs my view of Venus, of course."
-- "Kill da waaaaabit!"
-- "Duck season!" "Wabbit season!" "Duck season!" "Wabbit season!" "Wabbit season!" "Duck season!" "Wabbit season!" "Duck season!" "Wabbit season!" "I say it's DUCK SEASON! Shoot me NOW!"
-- Michigan T. Frog: "Come on, my baby, come on, my darling, come on my ragtime gaaaaal!"

Classic Disney:
-- Any time Donald Duck loses his cool. Which is, um, every time. Seriously, he's like a 24th-level duck barbarian.
-- Chip 'n' Dale vs. Donald Duck.
-- Scrooge McDuck, on money: "I like to swim in it like a dolphin, burrow in it like a gopher, and throw it into the air and let it hit me on my head!"
-- Mickey Mouse vs. the Mad Doctor. That guy was actually geniunely scary.
-- Anything with Bad Pete/Pegleg Pete/Pistol Pete/Black Pete/Pete.
-- Anything with Professor Ludwig Von Drake (funny how ducks consistently beat out other animals on the coolness scale).
-- Humphrey the Bear.
-- Goofy's "how to" cartoons.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit:
-- Deuling ducks!
-- "I'm not bad... I'm just drawn that way."

Animated DCU:
-- Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. The whole thing.
-- "Mad Love". Harley Quinn rocked. After a while, I got a little too much of her, but she's still okay in my book.
-- The Mad Hatter.
-- Two-Face.
-- I'm surprised no one mentioned "Mxyzpxlated". That has got to be the funniest episode Superman ever did.
-- In the same vein, "Little Big Head Man".
-- The Toyman. This guy was so creepy... he really belonged in Batman's rogues gallery, not Superman's.
-- "In Brightest Day..." Kyle Rayner is no Hal Jordan (and definately no Alan Scott), but I loved this episode, anyway.
-- "Legends".
-- "The Savage Time". I thought this was a masterful episode. Sergeant Rock and the boys of Easy Company especially stood out for me, as well as Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor.
-- Superman putting a stop to Gorilla Grodd at the end of "Secret Society".
-- The beginning of "Hereafter". The fight between the Justice League and Metallo, Kalibak, Livewire, Toyman, and Weather Wizard is one of the most awe-inspiring animated fight scenes I have ever seen.
-- Booster Gold's chat with Ralph "The Elongated Man" Dibny in "The Greatest Story Never Told". "'We don't need two stretchy guys'." // "Once, I disguised myself as a vase for three days!" "No you didn't." "Well, no, but who'd want to anyway?" // "The squeaky wheel, my friend, the squeaky wheel..."

And even though it's not animation in the sense we're all talking about, I feel obligated to mention...
-- "TROGDOR!!!"

One scene that always makes me laugh: a Bugs Bunny cartoon where Yosemite Sam is chasing him around a pirate ship; Bugs gets into the crow's nest and offers to jump down, but instead pushes an anvil (naturally) over the edge. Sam catches it, and the boat immediately sinks. I'll never get tired of that one.

Classic Warner Bros.:
-- "Duck season!" "Wabbit season!" "Duck season!" "Wabbit season!" "Wabbit season!" "Duck season!" "Wabbit season!" "Duck season!" "Wabbit season!" "I say it's DUCK SEASON! Shoot me NOW!"

Ahhhh, that one always gets me. A BIG favorite of mine is the old Warner Brothers Barber of Seville with Bugs.

Yet again, I'm feeling the need to pick up those DVDs...

That one episode of Transformers, Season 1, where they introduce and kill off Skyfire. To this day, I have to pose my Jetfire toys next to my Starscream toys, as a result of that episode.

I did think that their bringing him back kind of cheapened his sacrifice for the other Autobots, though.

"Every now and then, a scene is so well crafted and its music is so beautiful that it will leave a person in awe, even after repeated viewings. To hear the music alone will revive the memory of scene with incredible clairity in one's mind. In The Ballad of Fallen Angels, episode five of the anime television series Cowboy Bebop, there is such a scene. This scene is set to the song Green Bird."

"There are no other sound effects, there is no need. Though the beautiful piano and vocal melody of Green Bird contrasts with many of the images we are shown during this segment, the slow and slightly dazed state of Spike Spiegal's mind is represented oh so well. In a truly excellent form of character development, the parallels that run through Spike's mind as he falls out of the cathedral window really hit the mark. The falling glass and the falling rose petals, the current fight with Vicious and a similar fight from the past, the black roses from gun play and the red roses from a more peaceful time, all these parallels fit together yet remain intriguingly subtle. Lastly, the quiet and peaceful images in sepia add to the study in contrasts. " (taken from The Shrine to Green Bird)

Oh, and Daffy Duck's Ho! Haha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Ha! Thrust! Robin Hood scene.

Lessee.

Beast Wars, Code of Hero - Dinobot takes out the Predacons singlehandedly

Beast Wars, season 2 finale (part 3) - the Predacons go all out to wipe out the Maximals like Rattrap riding the nuke like it was a buckin' bronco, eventually landing in Rhinox's arms: My hero! *kiss him on the cheek* (Rhinox: Oh get down! *drops Rattrap*).

Beast Wars, season 3 finale (part 1) - final duel between Rampage and Depth Charge

Have to agree with Optimus Prime breaking the siege of Autobot City in the Transformers movie and the fight between him and Megatron is still a fave tho I also like Soundwave sending the cassettes to jam the call for help. Rumble: "First we crack da shell den we crack da nutz inside!"

Transformers - the return of Optimus Prime

Samurai Jack - Jack meeting the Scotsman on the rope bridge

Castle of Cagliostro - Lupin (Rupan) and Jigan's pursuit of the bad guys chasing the princess near the beginning

Castle of Cagliostro - Lupin, Jigan and later Goemon facing 'the tour group from hell' aka the Count's armored ninja assassins.

Record of Lodoss War - first episode where they kill the dragon

Megas XLR - Coop's first encounter with the Glorft

Dexter's Laboratory - Dexter in his robot suit faces a gigantic DeeDee with cheesy anime effects no less

Justice League - Justice Lords vs Doomsday (wish it were longer tho)

Justice League - Justice League vs Injustice Gang

Justice League Unlimited - Green Arrow going to town on the robbers

Justice League Unlimited - Supes going berserk on Mongul

Batman Beyond - the return of Mister Freeze and his comment "You may experience some discomfort." as he puts the doc into involuntary hibernation

Superman - the Myxlpltk (Gilbert Godfrey's voice) episodes

Wile E. Coyote in general.

The homages to Chuck Jones in Farscape's "Revenging Angel" especially due to the Wile E. Coyote imagery

There's a few others I'm sure but they're not clicking yet.

Dexter's Laboratory:
Omelet du Fromage!

 

[devilish]

Dexter's Lab - Way of the DeeDee

Loved the ending to this -- music, effects, etc.

DeeDee tries to convince Dexter to be more with nature, and
Dexter embraces it. When he gets to his lab to try it out, he
"lets go" and destroys everything. DeeDee slaps him, pleads
with him , "no longer the creator but a mad destroyer...." and runs
crying from the room.

And then -- Dexter looks to one side, then the other...slips his
gloves back on, picks up a wrench and goes back to work with
a haunting melody in the background. *shiver*

Marvin the Martian to Bugs Bunny: "You have made me very angry...(breathes) ...VERY ANGRY INDEED!"

And the Tick is pure Gold. I miss that cartoon.

But my favorite was the baby's reaction to male breastfeeding in The Family Guy, first season. It was mostly silent, but SOOOOOO goooooood!
