Saturday Morning Watchmen...Classic cartoon intro ripped from an old VHS, enjoy!! Watch the digitally remastered swf here: www.newgrounds.com Download mp3 here: www.newgrounds.com I'm kidding, this is an animation which I made, thanks to everyone for the attention and praise it has received. Thanks to Hans Van Harken and Josh Tomar for voicing Ozymandias and Bubastis respectively. All other voices, singing, music and animation by yours truly. Check out the Wikipedia article here: en.wikipedia.org Lyrics: Strong together, united forever They're the best of friends But when troubles about, you'd best watch out For the Watchmen! Nite Owl is their leader And he loves to party down Rorschach's friends to the animals... "Yeah, when he's not clowning around" "I'm nutty!" Beat up some thugs, say no to drugs Be in bed by 10 But if troubles about, you'd best watch out For the Watchmen!

WATCH OUT!
One Beer - Banned Cartoon...This is a banned cartoon from the banned episode, Elephant Issues. It's about the dangers of alcohol. This cartoon was only shown once in America, when it first aired, afterwards, it was never shown again on TV in America in later channels like Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. I can't say if it was banned in other countries like Canada or Mexico. I see that alot of people here have been posting comments saying that they remember watching this cartoon, i myself don't remember watching it but look, if you're going to show alcohol on a kid's cartoon, then wouldn't it be a banned cartoon? of course it would. Anyway, i'm glad to see that my video is popular with so many views.
