La guerre des tomates

This was a funny cartoon series based around the familiar movies. The show is hysterical, with Dr. Gangreen (voiced by John Astin) being the funniest. I remember one scene where he is chasing and shooting at the good guys from a helicopter or something and said, 'If this were prime time I could use real bullets.' Worth watching if you can find it anywhere.

One of the great eightes movies of yester year, well tv series.It was a very good tv series but could never stand up against the much better sequel to the original film which was kinda lame.Over all, a series worth watching if you can manage to find any episodes.

I really liked the Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes movie franchise, it managed four films ranging from the 1970's to the 1990's and a certain amount of it's essence was captured in this Saturday morning cartoon.

With the same characters, couple of the same voices and much of the same humour it showed real promise until you realised how watered down it was for the kids.

Plenty of the humour will have gone over children's heads but not enough of it. And for that reason it wasn't overly appealing to either kids or adult fans of the movies thus it only lasted 2 seasons.

Sadly the show nose dived further with the second season which was made by different people. The animation quality dipped, the writing was full on kids show and lost the original feel and the continuity died a death as if the writers had never watched the first season.

Due to this the viewing figures dropped and the show was swiftly cancelled. Though it never met its potential this was a shame as if the show had continued the way season 1 had it may well have reached cult status.

For fans of the franchise I'd give this a lesser recommendation but for anyone else it's a hard pass.

The Good:

First series does continue the movies theme

John Astin is great

The Bad:

Every episode is a mixed bag of conflicting demographics

Second season is rather weak

Things I Learnt From This Show:

The Professor isn't mad, he's angry

The Season 2 writers need to retire from the industry

If a tomato eats and spits out a human they become a tomato but if a tomato eats and spits out a tomato they become human. Wait, what!?

Loved the first season which has fu;; episodes that spoof movies like Jaws, Terminator, Martians invasions, Invasion of Body Snatchers etc... and really good animation. The comedy humor reminds me of the Tick and the Killer Tomatoes movies. I really loved season but then came season 2 :(. We see some major changes from the showrunner and a completely different animation which sucked. Not sure why they changed up the animation. The season 2 episodes are okay but it felt like a totally different show. The story editor switched up and I don't get why. The original showrunner did a good job. Oh well, worth a watch if you're a fan of the movies. 100 percent a horror cartoon show which I wish we got more of.

This was one of the greatest cartoons of my childhood, I wish it'd run for a bit longer because it was funny and very well written. Based loosely on the second film "Return of the killer tomatoes" it only ran for 2-3 series, and I'm pretty sure the second series was also called "Return of the killer tomatoes" Had the very catchy theme tune from the film but only John Astin returned to voice it. It would be great to see it again but I imagine it's nearly impossible to track it down now. Like the other great cartoon series based on a low budget film, "Toxic crusaders", it added to the original film/s
