As it turns out, it wasn't a creative decision that led to the downfall of many transformers.

Do not grieve soon.

I shall be one with the Matrix parent company.

Hasbro wanted to shine the spotlight on a new line of second generation toys so they decided it would be great to wipe out the first generation of characters in the movie.

What happened all the hot water?

I'm sorry fred.

I used it to do the wash this morning.

Oh boy, personally, I'm glad there's no hot water, it stings my trunk.

Eventually that popularity led to the show being connected to a lot of products, but one economic connection didn't particularly age well and one of the commercials, barney and fred watch Wilma and Betty working hard as they do Garden Shore's.

So the duo sneaks off to avoid their guilt rather than help out their partners.

Yeah, me too.

Let's go around back where we can't see them.

We should save the chocolate in case we get hungry.

Later during their conversation.

Graham p rabbit and granddad dog glance at grandpa Pig like he might be an option on the table.

Fortunately the trio was rescued before anyone has turned into bacon.

But what makes it more disturbing is the fact the trio was only stuck on the island for a couple of hours.

Is anyone else missing cheese?

We've only been here five minutes scram.

P rabbits number seven.

The house on american activities.

Mr Magoo today the character of Mr Magoo is seen as an old man who gets into problems due to his bad eyesight.

Could you direct me to Armand's exclusive shop for men?

Thank you.

Officer, put in a good word for you with the chief.

However, there was a lot more to the character than people expected.

John Hubley was an animator at Disney until he left the company after a notable strike.

In the 19 forties, Disney blamed the strike on communism when they testified at the House Un american Activities Committee in 1949 Hubley and Millard Kaufman began creating comics with Magoo, 80,000 people down.

The duo parodied the obsession of hunting apparent communist by developing the character.

Magoo would often spout offensive remarks about the movement and turn on neighbors with his paranoia.

Even Magoo's nearsightedness was meant to reflect his shortsighted nature.

Right away, right away, I hear you, I hear you.

It's never sticky, never gummy dries instantly even drives under water.

No, no, no out number six.

The orphans duck tales in the original Duck tales cartoon, Donald Duck leaves his nephews, Huey, dewey and Louie with scrooge Mcduck.

So I'll buy you a globe.

The dynamic between the boys and their rich relative was so fun that it probably made viewers overlook one major question, why aren't the trio with their parents?

Thankfully the comics expand on that backstory.

So cheap kids were left with Donald temporarily after their unnamed father was hospitalized.

Apparently the patriarch was injured after the trio put firecrackers under his chair as a wacky practical joke.

Fan theories suggest that since the kids remained with Donald and their father is never mentioned, he likely perished from their joke viewers also posit that their mother Della Duck abandoned her Children in the wake of this incident.

Yes, number five, stuttering purpose.

The looney tunes franchise, one of the most recurring aspects of looney tunes character, porky pig is the fact that he often stutters while speaking soon after his debut in 1935 the unique vocal feature took center stage, but it wasn't exactly on purpose, porky's voice actor at the time, joe dougherty had an actual stutter.

His speech disorder apparently caused recording sessions to take longer at points.

Actors like the legendary count kotelly were brought in to voice porky and speed things up.

But the studio eventually decided to fire dougherty in 1937 when the reins of the cartoon pig were handed to mel blank and other actors, the stutter was kept as a character trademark.

He don't want no trouble.

If there's one character that nailed the maniacal laugh at Skeletor, you spend much time watching the, if I am to know my enemies, I must study them.

What's the matter?

The terrifying and sometimes hilarious baddie is a real thorn in the side of he man.

And when mattel's toy line became a tv show, Skeletor became a household name, is a lucky fool.

One day I will destroy him and his friends in the palace.

But his inspiration is pretty spooky.

When Mark Taylor was a kid, he went to an amusement park and spotted a creepy corpse in a front house that he was convinced was real.

It turns out he was right.

The body actually belonged to a notable outlaw named Elmer mccurdy.

Years later when Taylor was working as a designer for mattel, he used the startling childhood incident as the inspiration for humans nemesis.

They were fools not to use it, but I will, I'll dig it out, trap jaw.

I've got a kingdom to destroy.

Thanks to working on big projects like the power puff girls and dexter's laboratory.

Chris Savino garnered quite the resume.

He eventually used his experience to create the 2016 show, the loud house.

I also do furniture moving and jar opening keeping in mind.

Oh, it's my lucky day.

I dropped a jar of pickles under the sofa, but Sorvino's accomplishments were overshadowed by a dark truth.

In 2017, he faced numerous allegations of harassment on top of this.

Savino allegedly blacklisted women from the animation industry when they wouldn't consent to an inappropriate relationship.

His terrible actions had seemingly been going on quietly for over a decade.

Behind the scenes, after the serious allegations went public, Nickelodeon fired Savino.

They continued making the loud house without his involvement.

I justified it by telling myself that kids around the world were getting into science because of me.

But science is honest and I certainly haven't been number two causing seizures Pokemon on top of being a video game in a merchandizing juggernaut Pokemon also has its famous anime, but one of the franchises.

Darkest moments came in an early episode of their popular show that aired in Japan in 1997.

A scene features lights flashing quickly.

The sequence reportedly caused hundreds of kids to be hospitalized due to seizures and other conditions as a result of the scandal.

The episode didn't air outside the country.

It also meant Oregon was barely featured in future anime episodes or films.

Ironically it was pikachu attack in that scene that caused the issue.

But Corrigan is still seen as the face of this dark incident.
