Telling my story about me and how I grew up watching movies.

In the late-80s, I grew up in Europe and moved to Benghazi when I was small. I found on television watching hundred of movies was the first time. I watched Police Academy is one of my favorite films, next Highlander II is the worst movie ever made (too young watching movies thought was a great movie).

I moved to Manchester for a better life and I look around the house thought was Libya much better (turns out to be economic fall and regime still power). My mum met her college mate looking like hotel apartment I open on television watching Oliver Twist, Innerspace and Dragnet movie. I must I watched Beetlejuice pretty funny and I am a fan of Tim Burtons and I want to be just like him a film director.

Worst Cartoon Review - The Osmonds (animation).


Today, looking back 70s Saturday morning cartoon "The Osmonds".

They get their own cartoons, such as Bill Cosby, Fat Albert, Jackson 5ive, and many celebrities' own cartoons. I had seen documentaries when I was 13, and my mother has been a fan of the music since she was young, I pointed to him, "Who is that guy?" my mum said, "Donny Osmonds" I didn't know he was on the band along with his brothers like Jackson Five or BeeGees. I'm making fun of their terrible cartoons in the past and I did my reviews. Actually, they remember them since growing up listening to music in the 70s. The Osmonds producer by Rankin/Bass production brought us, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, The King Kong Show, The Return of the King (1980), Silverhawks, Tigershark as a part of The Comic Strip, and The Wind in the Willow (1987 film).

Some of the Japanese live-action in English dubs such as King Kong Escape (1967), and The Last Dinosaurs.



I grew up watching Thundercats, one of my favourite TV series as a kid. F--k to reboots for ruining my childhood. What Cartoon Network did to Teen Titans Go and PowerPuff Girls.

In "The Beatles" cartoon each episode owns the song lyrics but they're not really singing it was voice actor late Paul Free. John Lennon didn't like the cartoon version of themselves.

The Osmonds intro

A terrible dancing spinning like ballet.

In the opening intro, the theme song "One Bad Apple" by The Osmonds poses an apple from the book Adam and Eve. Jimmy dancing making me funny looks stupid, and the five brothers are the worst dancing in the intro looks ridiculous. Donny begging the girls, (he married to future wife, Debra), hmmm....must hate him for the worst singing on billboard much better than Jackson 5 except The Beatles split out in 1970. The Jackson 5ive is the worst animation series except it wasn't Michael Jackson it was the voice of Donald Fullilove who sounded impersonation of Michael. The show was cancelled after 23 episodes and The Osmonds 17 episodes were also cancelled due to low ratings on Saturday morning.




1st. Arabic opening

I remember this since I was a kid. I grew up watching in Arabic It didn't sound like Donny it was the Lebanese voice actor who had done previously anime. I don't watch any episodes but my all-time favourite is Mazinger Z in Arabic, sadly cancelled only 24 out of 92 episodes similar to the American version (Tranzor Z) and 65 out of the 92 episodes but I had to see that first. I love anime as a kid, and I do love the monster movie. 

In 1997, Donny plays himself as a guest star in Johnny Bravo, the same outfit from the seventh cartoon, and hiding and seek in garbage makes me funny.
