De Volta para o Futuro

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.

There was this odd trend in the 80's and 90's where if a movie was popular, it would get a cartoon series. Even if the movie was more for adults than kids (like "Spaceballs" and "RoboCop") it got a cartoon. And one of those movies was "Back to the Future". Now, I'm not saying all cartoons based on movies are awful, just look at "Real Ghostbusters", but this one isn't that good. I'm a hard core "Back to the Future" fan, but even I can't defend this as a great show. However, it is a guilty pleasure for me. I do find myself watching it every once in a while, and even chuckling at some of the jokes. I even try to watch the "Christmas Carol" episode around Christmas. If your looking for an animated show based on a movie that's just as good as the movie, this is not for you. But if you're a hard core "BTTF" fan and can enjoy anything with Doc and Marty in it no matter how silly it is, feel free to give this a shot.

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.

This little animated series came about a year after the third movie, either an attempt to keep Back to the Future in the public eye or just to cash in on the films. Either way, this was a fun series. Some of the stories were very fresh and clever. One story that comes to mind is Doc, Jules and Verne traveling back and accidently preventing the extinction of the dinosaurs. Those live action bumpers of Christopher Lloyd are clever and funny. The series vanished after it's production ended and has sometimes appeared on a cable station. Watch it if you can.
