Les Folles Aventures de Bill et Ted

Bill and Ted are memorable, even in animation land. Once again we see the adventures of the two groovy guys and their cool dude Rufus (voiced by George Carlin) but this time not live action, which is sort of a drawback. But it is still a nice cartoon. Lively, but not too bad.

A great series spawned by a great and truly inspiring movie. Although the TV series was not highly successful it doesn't mean that it was not a classic. I used to watch this show religiously because this is a great TV series. If you get a chance to watch it, do it.

If you can get past some corniness and goofiness, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures is actually a pretty watchable and fun extension of the original film. (This is true only for the first season. Skip the second. The quality difference is jarring.)

Despite being a Saturday morning cartoon, it captures the adventurous and light hearted spirit of the first movie well. Bill and Ted retain their most excellent friendship with little conflict. Voice acting is spot-on, with Alex Winters and Keanu Reeves coming back to voice their respective characters and adding to the show's charm.

However, it also lacks the depth of the original film, some episodes feel repetitive, and the humor can be hit or miss at times. Even with these flaws, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures is a totally solid Saturday morning cartoon.

I used to watch this show as a kid and I was always a fan of the two films. The first season was great, it had the two main actors doing the voices of Bill and Ted and even George Carlin voiced the animated Rufus. The episodes are funny and have factoids about history littered throughout the episodes....And then the second season happened. No Keanu, no Alex, no George. They changed the animators and the theme song, and everything went down hill. Bill and Ted sound like they are going through puberty in the second season and the episodes aren't funny and they lost the magic.

I was very surprised to see that Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter and George Carlin all reprised their roles in this cartoon series.

I caught a few of them back when they were on (1990-1991), and they were pretty funny, if a bit repetitive. I'm not surprised it went off the air after a year; but it was still fun seeing all the original actors having fun voicing their old characters, while the most bogus sequel was being made at the same time.

Worth seeing on a re-run channel.
