Mighty Heroes

I was looking at the listing for the animated Lord of the Rings, decided to click on Bakshi's name and saw that he was responsible for one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. I know I loved them but all I can remember clearly is Diaper Man. I had tried to look them up on the web once before but there wasn't much to be found. It's a shame because I remember really getting a kick out of these shows. I hope someone puts these out on DVD so I can see them again. Alot of nostalgic thirysomethings would love to have them, I'm sure.

On the one hand, I forgot that this show even existed, but on the other hand I cannot believe that I am the first person to comment on it...

Bakshi was absolutely brilliant and created what (probably) the best satire of the superhero genre ever attempted. I remember this show to be amazingly humorous and insightful (and more than a bit goofy). I hope that Rhino picks these up and puts them out like they have all the other old kids' shows.

A great memory... I love IMDB...

Sometimes, I would bring this show up to my friends....I'd say do you remember a cartoon from the mid 60's with crazy superheroes? Diaper Man was always the one that stuck out in my mind. I was so little when this was on, but I loved it. I probably caught it in syndication, I don't think I would remember it at 3?

Thanks yet again, IMDB for helping me remember the title and proving I'm not nuts to my friends!

Dodo The Kid From Outer Space was another from that time that you helped prove I wasn't imagining it?

Keep up the good work :)

hard to believe that this was one of Ralph Bakshi's earliest directorial efforts. i had almost forgotten about this series until i found it uploaded to Youtube earlier tonight. if there is a series which is just begging to be put onto DVD, it is this one. you can still buy it for now, but only on VHS. i'm hoping that one day the rest of the TerryToons back catalog (Mighty Mouse, Heckle and Jeckle. . . etc.) will find its way to become licensed. while I'm glad that a lot of shows are getting licensed, there's a lot more that has not. (Beanie and Cecil, and Hoppity Hooper are but part of a very long list here.) I'm now a big anime fan, but back in the day when i was watching this, i can only imagine how the Japanese felt when they saw this.since American animation was a big influence on the Japanese. i hope we can show these old shows some love and bring them back to be viewed, re- discovered and loved all over again.

If your a Gen X-er, you have to remember a group consisting of Diaperman, Strongman, Cuckoo Man, Ropeman and Tornado Man. They are "the Mighty Heroes" who messed things up during the beginning of the thirty-minute show but usually come together in some unusual ways to defeat their foes.

Created by Ralph Bakshi who later did "Spiderman" (Your Friendly Neighborhood...), "Fritz the Cat" and "Wizard". I didn't even know that he create this fantastic show from the sixties. Mr. Bakshi is a genius for that time period and has done other fantastic works besides the above mentioned shows. Hopefully one day soon they will put all the Mighty Heroes 20 episodes and other well-known shows such as "Space Ghost" and "the Herculoids" (to name a few) on dvd (so what are you guys who made these shows waiting on?).
