Cartoon Cavalcade Trivia Quiz

Answer: Once.

"Batman" ran from 1992 to 1995. In the first episode of the DVD boxed set, after Batman fights the Man-Bat, we see our hero bleeding. According to the commentary on the DVD, the producers had "to fight really hard" to include just that scene and it's the only one in the series to feature blood.

The year after its run ended, WB debuted "Superman" and ran it in an hour-long block with reruns of "Batman," now called "The Adventures of Batman and Robin." This hour of programming proved succesful, so the following year, "The New Batman Adventures" debuted. They didn't use the same animators from the original series, and it looked more like "Superman" than the previous series, but they did get most of the same voice actors back.

Answer: Tiny Toon Adventures

"Tiny Toon Adventures" was, unfortunately, short lived. It ran from 1990 to 1992.

Most of the characters on the show were just newer versions of the original Looney Tunes. Buster was Bugs. Plucky was Daffy. Elmira was Elmer Fudd. The list goes on and on. In the series, Bugs, Daffy and the rest were teachers at Acme Looniversity, instructing the new generation on pratfalls, double takes, and jokes the audience wouldn't get until they were older, all in the classic Looney Tunes tradition.

"Pinky and the Brain" were an "Animaniacs" spin-off.
"Lil' Looney Escapades" I just made up.
"Freakazoidz!" I also made up, though there was a show called "Freakazoid!" about a wacky superhero, which was also an "Animaniacs" spin-off.

Answer: Negaduck

"Darkwing Duck" ran from 1991 to 1995. It was the first cartoon to feature a character from another Disney cartoon, in this case, Launchpad McQuack from "Duck Tales".

Steelbeak and Megavolt were both enemies of Darkwing Duck.
Gizmoduck was a superhero on "Duck Tales," who also made a few guest appearances on "Darkwing Duck."

Answer: Dr. Otto Scratchensniff

"Animaniacs" picked up where "Tiny Toons" left off. It aired from 1993 to 1998. Instead of a whole episode telling one story, "Animaniacs" packed as many short sketches as possible into their half hour blocks. It was reasonably successful, and inspired two spin-offs, "Pinky and the Brain" and "Freakazoid!"

Dr. Frank N. Furter is from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
Dr. Strangelove is from...you know.
Dr. Marvin Monroe was a therapist on "The Simpsons."

Answer: Star Trek

"Gargoyles" aired from 1994 to 1996. It centered around a clan of gargoyles, frozen in stone "until the castle rises above the clouds." In 1994, David Xanatos has the whole castle transplanted to the top of his highrise in Manhattan. He intends to use the gargoyles for his evil deeds, but they are noble, and once they learn his true nature, leave the castle and take Manhattan as their castle, swearing to protect it.

David Xanatos and Demona, both regulars, were played by Johnathon Frakes and Marina Sirtis, respectively. The guest stars included Brent Spiner, Nichelle Nichols, and Kate Mulgrew, to name a few.

Answer: Eeyore

"The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" aired on ABC from 1988 to 1991. I remember looking forward to this show on Saturday mornings. Such an innocent time.

Gopher's trademark was that whenever he said a word with the letter S in it, he would whistle the S sound.
Owl was the pompous one, always claiming he new everything.
Christopher Robin was the owner of all the wonderful characters. The character was named after creator A.A. Milne's own son.

Answer: Stan Lee

"Spider-Man" ran from 1994 to 1998. It varied from the comic book in many different ways. The most glaring being that Peter was not fifteen when he got bit, and that Gwen Stacey is not featured in the series.
The final four episodes featured many different Spider-Men. It started with a Spider-Man who hadn't rejected the symbiote traveling to other dimensions to kill all the other Spider-Men. The Spider-Man we'd been watching gathers up all the remaining Spider-Men to battle him. At the end of the fourth episode, Spider-Man returns all the Spider-Men to their own dimensions. One of the Spider-Men was just an actor who played Peter Parker/Spider-Man on a tv show. Spider-Man was intrigued, and after dropping the actor off, went to visit Stan Lee, who the actor had told him had created him in that dimension. Stan Lee provided the voice for his cartoon self, at first expressing disbelief. They end up having a nice chat, and at the end, Stan asks Spider-Man if he'll take him webslinging. Webhead obliges.

Tobey Maguire played Spider-Man in the movies by Sam Raimi.
Steve Ditko was the original artist and cocreator of "Spider-Man."
Steve Rogers is the civilian name of Captain America.

Answer: Mark Hamill

Yes, Luke Skywalker himself voiced bad guys on both series. On "Spider-Man" he was the voice of Hobgoblin. On "Batman" he played none other than The Joker.

Jack Nicholson played The Joker in the 1989 "Batman" movie.
James Franco played Harry Osborne/The New Goblin in the Sam Raimi "Spider-Man" movies.
Christopher Daniel Barnes provided the voice for Peter Parker/Spider-Man in "Spider-Man."

Answer: David Warner

David Warner provided the voices for Archmage on "Gargoyles," Herbert Landon on "Spider-Man" and Ra's Al Ghul on "Batman." He also played Spicer Lovejoy in "Titanic."

Billy Zane and Bill Paxton played Cal Hockley and Brock Lovett, respectively, in "Titanic."
Liam Neeson played Henri Ducard/Ra's Al Ghul in 2005's "Batman Begins."

Answer: Jim Cummings

That's right, Jim Cummings had a part, some of them small, in each of those series.
"Gargoyles" he was Dingo, and several other characters.
"Batman" he was Jekko the Clown and several other characters.
"Spider-Man" he was Shocker, filled in for Peter Parker in a few episodes, and several other characters. (Seeing a trend?)
"Animaniacs" he was the Narrator several times, along with several other characters.
"Tiny Toon Adventures" he was Singer, and several other characters.
"Darkwing Duck" he was Darkwing Duck, Negaduck and several others.
And in "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" he was Winnie the Pooh himself, filled in a few times for Tigger, and, of course, several other characters.

Frank Welker was in all the shows except for "Spider-Man" and "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh." He's best known for doing the voice of Scooby-Doo.
Rob Paulsen was in all the shows except for "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh." He's probably best known for providing the voice of Yakko Warner on "Animaniacs."
Paul Winchell only provided a voice (out of the shows mentioned in this quiz) for "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh." He was the irrepressible voice of T-I-double Guh-ER.
