Volver al futuro

I like this cartoon and Dan Castellaneta is hilarious as the voice of Doc. When I see Doc, Dan does a great impression of Christopher Lloyd's character. It was great that Tom Wilson reprised his role as the voice of Biff Tannen. I would usually watch this online. I liked the adventures of Marty, Doc, Jules and Verne. I saw some of Biff's ancestors from time to time and it's still great to have Biff being the bad boy like he did in the trilogy. I noticed that the characters would usually fall or getting hit in a funny way. I hope I can get the entire set on DVD and enjoy it.

My family and I, especially the children, really enjoyed this cartoon show. I think it's because it's engaging, funny, and educational. It shows examples of history, physics, chemistry, and other sciences. It also shows the importance of friendship, family, honesty, and responsibility. It shows us to appreciate what we have and not be afraid to dream.

We particularly enjoyed the moments where Dr. Brown and The Science Guy talk about interesting scientific facts and conduct experiments.

It's a pity that there are only a few episodes of this show. There are 26 in total, but we would love to see more. I hope that someday they will make a sequel or remake of this wonderful project. I think it is still relevant today because the topic of time is always interesting and exciting. I recommend everyone to watch this show if you haven't seen it yet.

Back to the Future: The Animated Series is far from a perfect animated adventure of the Back to the Future world. It has enough humor, color and happiness to entertain younger 5-9 year old fans of the franchise, but for ages 9 and up, it isn't good enough.

Cons: The animation is typical Saturday morning, the jokes usually fall flat, and the two new kids of Doc and Clara, Jules and Verne, really make the show worse. They are super annoying and unfunny, and if they weren't even in the show, it would be 3x better, and i would give it 8 out of 10, but they just aren't good. I also don't understand why Christopher Lloyd couldn't be Doc in the animated segments, but can be Doc in the live action segments.

Pros: It is at least trying to give you good entertainment. The episode Brothers is pretty good, and is one of the only good episodes in the short lived series. It has more laughs, more plot, and better Jules and Verne, surprisingly. Doc actually sounds like Doc in this episode. But those are the only pros in the show.

Overall, I have mixed to negative reception to this animated show. The mixed part is the plot. Its sometimes pretty good, but some of the episodes have a really bland one. The negative is everything else. At least try new animation. It would be better. I won't really recommend this if you love the movies, but I guess its enjoyable for the young ones.

We really wanted Marty didn't we? We wanted Fox.

Instead we got Doc Brown and his family. Bumber. I mean, Marty was in it, but he wasn't the center, central driving force of the story and as kids we didn't like that one bit.

Sure...it was still fun. It was still funny, and Marty was still there, but the focus was on the Brown children, likely because the people that made the cartoon decided that--despite the fact that there were tons of cartoons about teenagers and adults--that children wanted a cartoon about kids their own age.

And because of that it really wasn't Back to the Future.

You couldn't buy us off that easy.

The animated adventures of Doc and Marty were a great way to continue the series, however a few things could've helped. First of all, only a few cast members from the films returned to voice characters, which is a shame. The only time we see Christopher Lloyd as Doc is in the wrap arounds, and the voice of Doc is provided by Dan Castellaneta (the voice of Homer Simpson). It probably would have been a more successful show had Michael J. Fox also returned as the voice of Marty.

However, the true fans are still happy with the result, and the show has a sort of cult status. The fact that CBS only seldom aired reruns, the audience wasn't wide and many fans of the film series hadn't seen this show. Thankfully, the whole series is now available on dvd since 2015, the franchises 30th anniversary.
