                      A good cartoon if you're into cheesy stuff

                      I like to watch this cartoon when there is nothing else on despite it being rarely on TV. This cartoon is funny if you're a kid but since I am 12 I think the idea of Godzooky personaly stinks. I mean I can cope with Minya but Godzooky will get annoying.

                      My introduction to Godzilla.

                      I saw this show when I was a small kid. I remember that Godzooky was cute and funny. And I thought that Godzilla was a dragon. This was in the mid 80's or something, before I watched GODZILLA VS GIGAN in the early 90's. The bad thing about this show, was that it was a disappointment to fans! His roar is done by Ted Cassidy. It is rumbley, grating, and stupid! Godzooky was voiced by Don Messick. His laugh sounded like, Scooby-Doo! Nowadays, my brother is annoyed by the show, because of the little boy's redundacy. Hey, a lot of you fans who is reading this will know that he is annoying as Ichiro from GODZILLA'S REVENGE (1969), or Goro Ubuki from GODZILLA VS MEGALON (1973). Now I know that Godzooky files, and he is Godzilla's nephew. So, that means Godzooky's father is Rodan! And Rodan and Godzilla are brothers! Godzooky is a hybrid! Anyway, the show would look cool if they shown cartoonizations of King Ghidorah, Gigan, Megalon, Mothra, Rodan, Hedorah. That would be cool. It would be great that they re-released the show, only this time replace the stupid roars of Godzilla and Godzooky with Godzilla and Minya's roar from the movies. That would be great for Cartoon Network, or the Sci-Fi channel in honor of Godzilla's 50th Anniversary. Happy 50th Anniversary Godzilla! Let GODZILLA FINAL WARS (due out in Japanese theatres, December 11th) break a leg!

                      Fun For Goji Fans

                      Entertaining enough "Monster of the week" show for kids that is required viewing for Goji fans and might be a nice way to introduce the titular monster to young children.

                      The animation is of the regular Hanna Barbera style and Godzuki is something of a cult figure in Goji circles actually.

                      Recommended for Goji completionists and fans of Hanna Barbera primarily.

                      The American Godzilla no one wants to talk about

                      So Hannah Barbera, the people that made Scooby Doo the Flintstones , yogi bear and those classic cartoon to the rights to make a Godzilla animated series but the thing was. They basically only had the name and nothing else for Godzilla. He doesnt have his iconic atomic breath instead actually shots fire out of his moth and laser from his eyes . And his iconic roar the roar is just done by some guy. The show was basically like the other shows that Barbera made . A group comes across monster and they have to call Godzilla for help rinse and repeat for 20 something episodes. Godzuki sucks basically the scrappy doo of the show . The characters are nothing to write home about. The animation is bad but it has a charm to it . Thank God, we have come such a long way from this.

                      Americans just have to screw up Godzilla every chance they get.

                      I saw this show as a kid and it just never appealed to me all that much even though I was a big Godzilla movie fan and I still am. This show just really outlines a problem in my book, us Americans strange need to make Godzilla into something he is not. We never make him look like the Japanese version, we mess with how strong he is and we generally seem to want to name stuff Godzilla when they just are not Godzilla. Even the movie which was rather bad at least got his roar right, this does not even do that. They add a stupid monster named Gadzooky too which is a real annoyance, but then again the Japanese do have a baby Godzilla that would be seriously lame in "Godzilla's Revenge". Still the idea of Godzilla being summoned like an attack dog or something is rather lame too, though they sort of did that in "Godzilla vs Megalon", however in most of the movies even where he is good he comes of his on accord. The fights in this series are sorely lacking as well as I find it rather pathetic that the fights in the live action movies are better, more epic than a cartoon show. I mean it is animation, you are not bound to the laws of physics and stuff you can do anything and most of the battles are horrible. And why does Godzilla always blow fire in America, in Japan it is a radioactive breath, here he always breaths fire, he is not a dragon, but then the fact they remove his cool back plates and make his head bigger he does look more like a dragon than Godzilla and Gadzooky most certainly looks like one.

                      • Trivia
                        Due to copyright issues, the creators couldn't use Godzilla's classic roar for the show. Instead, Ted Cassidy voiced him using generic cartoon monster sounds that were also used as stock sound effects in other shows of the time. A widespread rumor says that in the Japanese version, they changed Godzilla's roar to the one used in the films, but this was not the case, since the show was not released in Japan.
                      • Goofs
                        Throughout the entire series, Godzilla's size keeps changing wildly, even within episodes. In some shots, he can hold the crew of the Calico ship in his hand, while in others, he's so big that he can grab the entire ship.
