Well, the Star Trek Animated music showed up on the La La Land's ST 50th special, and Johnny Quest also came out, but I found myself challenged in wondering what other sixties, seventies, and eighties cartoon series had enough cues to justify a soundtrack releases?

I know the music on Johnny Quest showed up on other HB series, but what other series from HB and others accumulated as much music as Johnny Quest?

Maybe some of you know.

I happen to be very partial to Hoyt Curtin's delightful scoring for "The Flintstones," which I also know survives. But whether anybody but me would buy it is another question.

That's a tough one to beat for comedy scoring. I also used to love the sound effects.

When recently asked about the music from She-Ra Princess of Power in the MV questions thread, MV replied that "something's a foot".

There's plenty of music there.

As for animated series - we had a discussion a while back about animated holy grails.

For Lukas Kendall, I think his is the music from Spider-man and his Amazing Friends, as he said once he's rich he'd fund a re-recording.


For me series wise the most wanted are:

X-men The Animated Series (only the theme song has been released on a couple compilation albums)

and

The Real Ghostbusters - (this one we have the music and effects tracks from some episodes from the Time Life DVD release, and the Tahiti songs on cassette).

I would buy a Merrie Melodies+Looney Tunes compilation, or Silly Symphonies+Disney shorts compilation if the music is obtainable and salvageable. I know that's only questionably TV, but those are my animation holy grails.

I'd buy more music from the 1990s-2000s DC television series (New Batman Adv., S:TAS, more Justice League, JLU, Batman Beyond, The Batman, Teen Titans, more Batman: The Brave and the Bold).

I would buy more music from The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels.

The Silly Symphonies are extant and available, but sadly only on LP.

Hanna Barbers varied the size of the library created for individual series, using them as supplements to their comedic or adventure libraries. To the best of my listening, they break down as follows:

Large Libraries:
Jonny Quest
Flintstones

Medium Libraries:
Top Cat
Jetsons
Loopy de Loop
Yogi Bear
Huckleberry Hound later seasons
Magilla Gorilla/Peter Potamus shows
Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel shows
Wacky Races
Scooby Doo
Flintstones spinoffs

Small Libraries:
Space Ghost/Dino Boy
Frankenstein Jr/Impossibles
Space Kidettes
Young Samson
Birdman/Galaxy Trio
Fantastic Four
Herculoids
Shazzan
Moby Dick/ Mighty Mightor
Gulliver/Huck Finn
Dastardly/Penelope Pitstop
Danger Island
Arabian Knights
Three Musketeers

Wish they could a tv theme compilation like TeeVee Toons used to do, but would include themes to Wacky Races, Butch Cassidy, Frankeinstein Jr, and the Impossibles. Inch High Private Eye, Wheelie and the Chooper Bunch, and other comedic incidental music.

I have to admit I have a special fondness for Dennis Farnon's work on ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE.
But if you are going to go to the troble of digging up tapes and restoring them to today's listening standards I would vote for THE FAMOUS ADVENTURES OF MR. MCGOO by Carl Brandt. To me these are the THRILLER of the animation genre in that each episode had an original independent score (or so I recall). The series was inspired by my favorite animated TV special of all time MR. MAGOO'S CHRISTMAS CAROL (Jule Styne, Walter Scharf). Each episode would tackle a classic tale (FRANKENSTEIN, NOAH'S ARK, ROBIN HOOD, DON QUIXOTE, DICK TRACY) with a score to match. Certain episodes Brandt was really inspired.

I've always loved the music from The New Adventures of Superman (Filmation 1966) by John Marion. It's actually one of my last remaining grails.

Planet of the Apes animated had outstanding scoring but MV Gerhard said the recordings are lost. Perhaps it could be reconstructed like Star Trek animated? LLL and all involved did an incredible job in restoring this music for release! smile

Probably pissing in the wind here, but I'd love for a label to give the La La Land's "He-Man" treatment to the same composers' work on "Inspector Gadget".

DuckTales. Between Ron Jones and Chase/Rucker, you're looking at five discs' worth of incredible action/adventure cues.

I bring up DuckTales a lot (it IS my No. 1 Holy Grail after all), but I rewatched Treasure of the Golden Suns the other day, after a long time away from it, and was still blown away by the score.

Animaniacs. There's a lot of fantastic Stalling-style music in there.

And of course maybe even more so, Tiny Toon Adventures. The two scores on the Cartoon Concerto disc are just the start of the goodness of the music in that series...

There's still much gold to mine from Johnny Douglas and Rob Walsh: GI Joe, The Incredible Hulk (1988), Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, and Dungeons & Dragons. Also, Udi Harpaz's work for the 90s Spider-Man. And I'm sure there's more to seek from Shuki Levy and Haim Saban, though my memory is fuzzy outside of their Filmation oeuvre.

As far as classic anime is concerned, Star Blazers would be grand to have.

Sign me up for The Flintstones/Jetsons releases.

It's my understanding they didn't reconstruct or restore the music. For Star Trek the Animated series they took the audio track which combined music, voices and sound effects and did their best with an audio software program to dial out the voices and sound effects. Score fans have done this kinda thing in the past but the degrade in quality is quite noticeable. I'm still ecstatic they made the attempt with Star Trek the Animated series. It's better than nothing.

Did you ever grab this CD SBD?

^^^^^ Forgot about those. Saw a few Tiny Toons episodes a few years ago and was impressed with the scoring.

As you said earlier, it's better than nothing. I still appreciate the effort, and hope other soundtracks come out this way. Again, it's better than no soundtrack.
