Teen Wolf

Teen Wolf (1986) was a Saturday morning cartoon based upon the movie Teen Wolf. Like the movie, the cartoon was pretty bad and very unnoteworthy. A lot of cartoons that were based on movies came out during this time period. To this day I haven't found one that was slightly entertaining. The cartoon featured a cheesy "Teen Wolf" logo whenever some "action" occurred. I couldn't take the animated series anymore that I could bear watching the original movie or it's lame sequel. Why don't these animation creators get some imagination or make another retread of a classic cartoon character. What is the purpose of remaking a bad movie into a television "animated" series.

They'll never learn.

Please avoid, it's not worth watching.

I remember loving this cartoon series when I was 5 years old. Every Saturday morning I would get up at the crack of dawn to watch such shows as The Real Ghostbusters, Muppet Babies and Teen Wolf. I found the old Teen Wolf cartoons on you tube, and as I suspected the series is not as good as I remember it being. The animation is nowhere near as good as animation is today, and some of the story lines are cheese-tastic, but this was the 80's and I think it was somewhat intentional to keep this show in line with the same level of campiness as the movie. But I think it probably would still be relatively entertaining to many 5 year old even today, so I give the show a relatively high rating keeping in mind who the audience for the show would be.

This cartoon presented Scott's wolf outs like a seizure episode, asthma attack..etc because he could feel 'getting different' happening and was concerned he would not fit in at school..etc because of being different.

It made me and other people with disabilities feel GREAT to see ourselves represented. When high school seemed really far away to a first grader, I was reassured things would work out.

Okay, maybe the studios just wanted to make a quick buck on a movie, itself made for a quick buck, but I found so much more in the series--and still do. The VHS tapes I have are wearing out again!

I guess I'm the only one who remembers this show (or watched it for that matter), but Teen Wolf: The Cartoon was an eighties classic. In fact, if I had to define the eighties with one form of media (film, televsion, music) I would have to say Teen Wolf The Cartoon. I think in the years to come this show will be heralded as an important step in not only Saturday morning television...but for mankind as well.

I missed this first time around, but my wife subjected me to a few episodes of it recently. I wish she hadn't. The plots would probably seem corny to a 5 year old and the scripts are so lazy and devoid of wit or intelligence that the same 5 year old would feel patronised by them. As for the animation, I'm not sure I've seen anything made by a mainstream company which is as bad as this. Major characters' faces change shape and size from scene to scene (and sometimes within the same scene). Perspectives and scales also change frequently. Sometimes more effort seems to have gone into the backgrounds (but not always). Movement of any kind is awkward and unconvincing. The typically 80s' graphics for the titles/credits are actually reasonably well done, but that only emphasises how shoddy and stylistically outdated the rest of the show is. Not aimed at me you say? Well, neither is Top Cat or Scooby Doo, but I can still enjoy them.
