★★★★★ · Fireball XL5 - WOWSA! · curiousmike49 · 2024-10-08
This show was one of my earliest memories (Born in '58) and I could not for my life recall the title. I do remember seeing cars and boats reminding me of those vehicles. As the years went by I somehow acquired the idea it was a puppet program but no, it's stop animation. Makes sense, the Brothers Grimm used it 4 yrs earlier and won an Oscar for special effects. Mystery Theater 3000 could have been inspired by 'Robert the Robot, eh? THX!!!
