godzilla is something big! hey! on dragonland godzilla juniorsters, watch my show, godzilla wars.

I always was impressed at how over and over again Godzilla could just materialize out of 5 feet of water!! After seeing a feat like that, Godzooki is NOT a credibility problem with me!

It jumped when they dropped Janna. She was cool.

This show is an indication of how adults think they can pass anything over on kids. I never watched the original Godzilla movies, but I see the disparities after reading all these posts.

Many other cartoons have this issue. For example, the rotating background when a character is running or driving. This is very evident in anything by Hanna Barbara.

Godzooky was just comedy relief for the younger kids. That blonde haired kid got on my nerves. Most of his lines were "Aunt Quinn!!"

This show jumped the shark when NBC decided to make this series more "child friendly". Hanna-Barbera wanted to make this cartoon a continuation from the Godzilla movies. NBC stations across the country said the cartoon has to be more child friendly to appeal to the audience. Little did they know the Godzilla movies from the late 60's and &0's WERE more child friendly. So the Unrealistic Godzilla cartoon was born. It is unfortunate Hanna-Barbera couldn't make the cartoon they wanted to make. I think some one should have told NBC stations to see Godzilla's revenge and then, recently released Godzilla vs Megalon. Those movies were not as unrealistic to the Godzilla legend as this cartoon is. First of all Godzilla didn't have laser eyes and breathe fire. He had a radioactive atomic breath ray he fire from his mouth. Thirty stories was not Godzilla's height at that time. Godzilla's original height was 50 meters(164 feet) which remained the same in the first 15 films. Godzilla's "roar" in this cartoon sucked. The famous cotrabrass rubbed with a leather glove roar heard in all movies (I don't know about "Godzilla raids again" ,Godzilla sounded like Angurius in most of that movie) and all Godzilla fans know and love was never heard in this cartoon. Although when it appeared on Cartoon Network and went to a commercial break they had newly drawn footage of Godzilla being attacked by some jets and they used the cotrabrass Godzilla roar not the one in the cartoon show. It is rumored Toho wanted too much of a licensing fee for the roar. Personally I think they should have paid it because besides the Godzilla name and Godzilla himself there's nothing from the Toho Godzilla films in the cartoon. The Video Games Super Godzilla, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters melee and Godzilla: Save The Earth uses both trademark character and Roars from Toho's monsters seen and heard in various Toho films. Some villains came close to Rodan(The Firebird) ,Hedorah the smog monster (The Breeder Beast) and Kumonga(a giant spider) but, they were not the real deal.Wouldn't it be cool to see a cartoon versoin of Megalon ,Gigan ,or King Ghidorah? A big not the real deal is Godzooky. He ws a rip off of Godzilla's son Minya (or Minilla). Minya looked kinda like Godzilla and Godzooky didn't. First of all Minya had the body of a Litte Godzilla with very small dorsal fins, a few visable teeth and NO wings so he couldn't fly (not yet anyway see Godzilla vs the Smog Monster). Godzooky looked like a dragon ,had a fat lower body ,with dorsal fins on his head and neck ,and wings so he could fly. He is not Godzilla's son and it is never spoken in the series what was his relation but, a source on the internet says he is his Nephew. That source also says Godzooky was rescued by the Calico crew when he was stuck between two peices of coral. As gratitude Godzilla saves the calico crew from many dangers. The calico crew is made up of Captain Carl Majors ,Dr. Quinn Darion ,Brock Borben (spelling?) ,and Pete Darion. If godzilla was as mean as he was in most of the movie they would be running for their life and screaming Godzilla? Godzilla. Godzilla! Ahhhhhh. Many fans (and I agree with them) think their sould be a new Godzilla cartoom show. It would be nice too see a anime style Godzilla cartoon. It could take place after Godzilla: Final Wars. Better yet the Heisei series since we never go to see Godzilla Jr. as a adult Godzilla (he and Godzilla 2000 are said to be two different creatures). The monsters in Godzilla: Final Wars are good for a new cartoon.A Cool cartoon version of Angurius or Rodan (the real deal not a firebird rip off)is just what Godzilla fans need. Why doesn't 4 kids entertainment make a new Godzilla cartoon to save Godzilla's honor? Toho or any other studio (mainly cartoon studios) if you read this please make a new Godzilla cartoon show with real Godzilla monsters and their roars. Please the honor of Godzilla is in you hands.

After thinking about it I think that when they decided to go with a different Godzilla roar instead of the one from the movies it jumped the shark. Godzilla's roar is so distinctive that you just can't mistake it for no other. Why they change it for the cartoon I do not know.

When I was a kid I was a Godzilla freak. I loved it so I looked forward to the cartoon. When I saw it I thought "What the heck did they do to my Godzilla?". Number 1: he's controlled by humans? Huh? Godzilla is supposed to be a force of terror turning Tokyo upside down! Not a pet! Number 2: They changed his roar? Godzilla has THE most distinct roar in movie history. When he roared it told others that the King of the Monsters was on the scene. It was part of his grand air of power; loud and piercing. In this cartoon they gave him a generic monster roar like "RAAAAR!!" What the hell was this!? That was heartbreaking for a little Godzilla fan like myself to hear. I damn near threw my bowl of Corn Pops through the tv. Number 3: Godzookie. Godzilla did have a son but this wasn't him. The son's name is "Minya" and he didn't have little bat wings under his arms like this stupid thing did! I gave the show a chance but I just couldn't get past these changes that they made. I loved the Toho Godzilla films. Even the ones made recently are even greater looking than the ones from the 60's and 70's because of the improved special effects. So being a big fan it hurts me to say that this cartoon sucked like an open airplane window at 30,000 feet. They could've done way better than that. It jumped the first day.

If they were going to introduce a baby Godzilla, shouldn't he be a little blue snowman that blows smoke rings like in the movie? And a NEPHEW named Godzooky? With Wings? Bad enough the implication that a whole clan of monster lizards existed somewhere...but with random mutations, too? This show was substandard even when I was 10.

This show jumped when they introduced "Godzooki"-yeech!!.I don't care if it is a "kids show"! He (Godzooki) is still a nightmare & a joke! Small wonder Godzilla get's little or no respect as a cinematic icon in America!

It jumped immediately. What I never understood about this show was how lousy it was to begin with. Godzilla.. man's best friend? Plus, if you watch the show closely, (I try not to but it happens) you see that Godzilla goes from 10 ft tall to the size of the earth and all sizes in between during various episodes. There is absolutely NO consistent size perspective for "the king of the lizards". What were those Japanese animators smoking?

Imagine a Saturday morning cartoon that won't hold the attention of a nine-year-old. That was Godzilla. I mean, I kept watching, hoping Godzilla would start acting "correctly". No such luck. The problems were legion, and the fact that a nine-year-old could spot them all was a bad sign. No matter where their boat is, Godzilla's always right there when they need him. Godzuki (amidst all his other problems) varies in size from four feet to half the size of the ship, depending on plot. Godzilla always managed to avoid hurting (forget killing) any of the bad guys, despite his ungainly size and rudimentary motor skills. It did have a killer theme song, though - "Up from the depths, thirty stories high..."

This show jumped the first day it was aired. I mean, I love godzilla movies (seen 'em all except GMK) but come on, that wasn't Godzilla. Sure it kinda looked like him, but there were no other similarities between the two. Since 1) Godzilla doesn't breath fire, he has a Radioactive Ray he fires from his mouth 2) Where's the contrabass rubbed with a leather glove, that's the Godzilla roar I know and love, not a generic roar 3)Godzilla controlled by humans, WTF? 4) Since I've noticed that Toho was involved in the making of the cartoon, where in the hell were the foes from the films, I mean wouldn't a cartoon version of King Ghirdorah or Gigan have kicked ass. 5) What was the connection between Godzuki and Godzilla. Minya looked more like him and he couldn't fly.

I just remember that little Godzooky guy bugged me so much. And if I remember right, he didn't look a thing like Godzilla! Didn't he have wings?

I don't think GODZILLA ever actually jumped, but things did change for me when I look back now, some 20 years on, and realize that if I could summon a 700ft fire-breathing radioactive dinosaur at the touch of a button, I don't think I would bother being an academic that sailed around the world taking geological samples. No sir. I would invade Tahiti and proclaim myself king.

This show was doomed from the start. Take some stupid sniveling humans with a annoying kid that looks like a girl, then add a stupid Godzilla wannabe that made Godzilla Jr look like the king of the monsters, and finally add in the fact that Godzilla was being commanded by some stupid humans. In the japanese movies Godzilla would have eaten Godzukei (spelling?) and all of those loser people albeit they would have given him some slight indigestion afterwards. If you want Godzilla, this isn't the place.
