Unpleasant Animated Surprises
Aug. 13th, 2011 04:25 pm"What the -- whoa."
Marty stared at the VHS he held in his hand. He'd picked it up because the bright color of the box had piqued his interest. He'd been expecting some kiddy cartoon, with silly characters and bright colors and lots of nostalgia.
What he hadn't been expecting was two guys who looked like him and Doc on the cover.
Granted, the guy who looked like him had his hair hidden under a hat, but considering he was standing right next to a cartoon Doc and in front of a DeLorean, Marty was fairly certain it was supposed to be him. There were two kids on the cover as well -- a blond and a brunet. Marty frowned curiously -- hadn't Doc mentioned something about his movie self ending up with two kids? And on top of it all was the logo and title: "BACK TO THE FUTURE -- Clara's Folks & Brothers." "Hey, Doc, come check this out!"
Doc wandered over. "What is it?"
Marty showed him. "How weird is this? They made a cartoon out of us!"
Doc stared, taking the VHS. "Great Scott. . ." He flipped it over. "'Back to the Future: The Animated Series.' Well, I guess it makes sense, considering how popular those movies seem to be. . ."
Marty rooted through the shelf. "There's a couple of others, Doc. 'A Friend In Deed & The Money Tree,' 'Mac The Black & St. Louis Blues' -- Oh geez, I'm a pirate in this one."
"You're a what?"
Marty showed him the cover, with Cartoon-Marty posing in full pirate gear. "These look goofy as hell." He laughed. "Is it bad that makes me want to watch them?"
"I'll admit, I'm curious as to what this cartoon's all about," Doc admitted with a chuckle of his own. "Gather them up and we'll take 'em back to my room. If nothing else, they should be amusing."
"Hell yeah." Marty scanned the shelf and grabbed the other VHSes he could find. "Man, us as cartoons. . .this should be good."
After Watching The Episodes
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CRAP?!"
