From death-dealing war veterans to gun-toting robot cops, these cartoons took characters that were clearly meant to be appreciated by adults and marketed them instead to children in the form of animated series and in many cases toy lines as well!

The 80s was the funnest time to be a kid! They barely make rated R movies for adults anymore let alone making them into kids toys and cartoons.
-
Its hilarious how many r rated franchises were randomly turned to Childrens cartoons. The first instance i noticed as a kid was Mortal Kombat. The M Rated game turned into a PG-13 movie, then down to a G rated 90s cartoon. But i loved it all.
-
Let's not forget "Little Shop of Horrors" and"Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos"!!😮😅😊
-
At least they didn’t make a kids cartoon out of Platoon. Though there was a kid friendly video game adaptation.
-
Toxic crusaders was awesome….they were part of my tmnt universe lol
-
There's a scene in Toxic Avenger that is so vile and shocking, that i don't even want to mention it.
-
Dude, i'm a "broadcaster". I've seen 2300 movies, films radio broadcast. I've taken broadcast annunciation classes..I've heard everyone from Paul Harvey to Rush to James Earl Jones to Pat Foley to Morgan Freeman to David Attenborough to Doc Emmerick to Harry Carey.. coast to coast and all over Japan and Canada... I hope your creamy voice is collecting fat announce paychecks from someone. I can't believe how few views this channel has. You timing , pauses, inflection are amazing.
-
My parents didn't really care about the ultra violence in movies... They only monitored the sexual content, and nudity in movies... They'd cover my eyes when an intimate scene would be shown...
-
I don't think I've ever seen the cartoons for Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and Toxic Crusaders when I was a kid, but I do remember watching them recently. I also remember watching the Toxic Avenger movie a while back, and to say my mom would not be happy about me watching a movie like that would be an understatement. Also, please tell me you have plans to cover PSA's from the 80s and 90s.

I watched the Rambo Cartoon and the Toxic Avengers Cartoon! I have a lot of the Toxic Avengers action figures in my toy room! Great video!
-
We know we are a Kid of the 1980s when we are very intrigued with this content. 🤔 I can't look away. Maybe it's that weird longing for these days again. 🤷🏽♂️ Good stuff
-
I remember kinda digging toxic crusaders, then some years later finding out it was based off an unrated/R-rated movie series! word is it's getting a reboot with peter dinklage, which I'm actually morbidly curious about, haha. still wild to think about those shows getting children's cartoons though. but I gotta side with sly stallone on the rambo thing, for sure.
-
So wild back then bc i went to a private school my folks sent me to and were pretty normal in terms of being strict but they always let me watch whatever i wanted. loved movie magic and how movies were made and they always inspired me to draw all the time so i think they noticed that and were cool about it.
-
I was fortunate to have excellent 80's parents. My dad took me with him to see Rambo II when I was 4. No action movie was off the table. My mom's only concern was expressed by saying to dad "there better not be a bunch of boobs in that movie".
-
I always felt they should've put a picture of Brad Garrett as Officef Robert Barrone from"Everybody Loves Raymond"on the Robert Cop box!!😅😊
-
Don't forget the networks turning hit shows into cartoons by putting the characters in an outlandish situation and/or adding a funny and unique pet.
-
My parents were fairly relaxed on what we could watch short of full on gore, or pron movies, so I saw all the movies, and cartoons based on them you showed as a kid, and it was awesome!!
-
I do remember the RoboCop cartoon. Great video! Thank You for the RETRO Content.🤘🏻👍🏻🇺🇲
-
The rules were very different back in the day for movie attendance limits! In the early 70s my oldest brother was in his 20s and therefore was able to take my other two older brothers and I to see each of the Bruce Lee movies out as a "guardian"! Also, my dad took my brother and I to see movies like The Eiger Sanction and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest during our Christmas vacation because he had some time off!
-
I didn't really have any interest in these cartoons but I did enjoy all the movies either on the VCR or on HBO.
