Fantastic Voyage (1968–1969)
A Sight And Sound Wonder...But Mainly The Sounds
11 January 2017
Cartoon about a miniature craft/submarine doing science fiction adventures.

Good voice artists are vital to a cartoon and this one had one of the best in the business: Marvin Miller (once Robby The Robot) as the voice of the darkly lite boss. At the start of each adventure he got you in the mood for what was to come with his outstanding delivery of lines!

And when that big ship/submarine started to shrink and go places we sort of felt like we were in some animated Irwin Allen world complete with spacey sound effects used in Lost In Space (1965) and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964).

But let us not get too carried away here, not all the episodes of this short lived series were good, but enough of them were...to make this one of the best old school cartoons ever!

And finally, to add to the list of interesting things to listen to, great music cues playing over these fantastic voyages.
