Now, I would never say that "Birdman and the Galaxy Trio" (from 1967) came anywhere near to being a great superhero cartoon - But, at least I can honestly tell you that it was pretty much on par with any other animated crime-fighting series (of the same genre) that existed back then at the time.
This is "Birdman", a 13-minute documentary from last year that has obviously nothing to do with the Academy Award winning Michael Keaton movie. Instead, we follow a homeless man and get an insight into his mind and everyday life.
One of the first and one of Super-Heroe's best series. Full of action and many other things that just happened in the 60's.
What really makes this cartoon loose points is bird boy. I hated the episodes he was in and no, it was notches below "Dino boy".
Up until a few weeks ago - I had never, ever heard of such cartoon superheroes as Birdman and The Galaxy Trio (featuring Vapor Man, Meteor Man, and Gravity Girl) even though their actual incarnation goes all the way back to 1967.I guess my unfamiliarity with these particular crime-fighting crusaders has to do with the fact that they are not a part of the snobbishly elite "Marvel Comics" set and, so, they have not been given their due attention and much-deserved respect.
I never saw The Galaxy Trio before but I saw Birdman on Cartoon Network a lot as a kid and it seemed a lot better then.Birdman lives in a volcano surrounded by other volcanoes and they imply this is in America.
To all the people who gave a bad review, let me remind you that this is a a cartoon for kids, for God's sake! That's why I enjoyed it when I was a kid.
Have to warn of possible spoilers, need to focus on best words to get the job done. Need to use all my concentration on the keyboard to strike the right letters or else!
Back in 1966, Hanna-Barbera Productions began its superhero cartoon cycle with the launch of SPACE GHOST & DINO BOY. By September 1967, they had superhero series on all three major networks.
