Saturday Morning All Star Hits!

A recent addition to Netflix’s library of shows Saturday Morning All Star Hits! is a strange story of a family explained through the in-universe cartoon Strongimals. While the series only exists in the imaginary “SMASH” block, the anthropomorphic avengers parallel real-life cartoons in the late ‘80s and the politics going on behind the scenes. The show lampoons the challenges Saturday morning cartoons faced when scrutinized by special interest groups and their struggle to appeal to their younger audience.Denver the Last Dinosaur,Saturday Morning All Star Hits!

Alvin and the Chipmunks, and Blossom Netflix’s newest cult classic is a tribute to some of the great ‘80s and ‘90s cartoons. However, there’s blood splatter on these nostalgia goggles as the series delves into murder, betrayal, and the price of fame. In particular, the show focuses on its hosts, twins Skip and Treybor. After Skip rises to celebrity status from a small cameo on the Strongimals cartoon, a series of mock-VHS recordings chronicle how ego and jealousy consume the two brothers before culminating in an eventful finale.At first, Strongimals seems like any other stand-in for Thundercats or He-man and the Masters of the Universe that would air on Adult Swim. However, there’s more going on to this series than a violent quest for “peace energy.” At its heart, the show is a commentary on the real-life politics and broadcasting standards cartoons had to face. Examining Skip’s dominance of the series and the censuring of the original stars, there’s a comparison to be made to shows like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles about the loss of identity. In addition, the show’s forced messages reflect the imposed federal broadcast regulations and what lengths networks had to go through to comply with them.
