Animation Damnation: Skeleton Warriors
Added 2024-04-25 10:00:07 +0000 UTC“I thought this aired on the Bone Network” - Eric
On this month’s Animation Damnation, we’re finally talking about the cartoon our Skeleton League brothers and sisters must’ve loved, Skeleton Warriors! We’re covering the first, mind-boggling episode, “Flesh and Bone.” First airing on a Saturday morning back on September 17, 1994, this episode features a magic group of royal siblings "cutely" named Justin, Joshua and Jennifer; a number of battles involving knock-off lightsabers; and an army of evil skeleton pirate-type villains who are also the show’s namesake! Get ready to hear all about this outrageous He-Man knock-off that we still can’t believe is real!

Would you believe that none of the female characters got figures in the toy line?

2024-05-17 23:38:04 +0000 UTCPretty sure my buddy's brother had a Grimskulll action figure growing up, and we used to make quicksand in their sandbox and have the skeleton rise up from it to attack the Power Rangers...

2024-05-02 22:30:01 +0000 UTCI had the Aracula action figure. Obviously he was the leader of all my other toys, what on account of him being a six-armed giant skeleton.

2024-04-28 03:06:14 +0000 UTCAbout Shriek from wikipedia: "In the days prior to becoming a living Skeleton, Shriek was POWERFULLY attracted to Prince Justin. After she became a Skeleton Warrior her crush persists, albeit unreciprocated." Skeletons can be horny!

2024-04-26 11:04:28 +0000 UTCI’m surprised y’all didn’t make a skeleton league joke but the skeleton laughs at the end were pretty league-esque so it’s cool. Maybe y’all can cover this on too old when you’re done with X-men, haha.

2024-04-25 16:32:33 +0000 UTCOh shit! gotta go back and check out that Cheers font. Makes one wonder how the cast of Cheers would fair after obtaining the Lightstar Crystal. Feel like Cliff would be the unfortunate one to get Grimskull’d

2024-04-25 14:26:09 +0000 UTCSounds like a half measure that led to many false assumptions.

2024-04-25 13:29:48 +0000 UTCI'm good friends with a set of twins named Josh and Justin, so this episode has been extra fun to listen to.
