Cartoon Network Groovies - Atom Ant - Atom's Theme - 4K Restoration

Arguably one of the best works of the Cartoon Network Groovies era. 4K restoration from Turner Broadcasting archive master.

At 0:36, how exactly is what they did bad?

Man, "Atom Ant vs. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" is a really esoteric concept for Hanna-Barbera's next movie

[andreas.]

Me as a kid: *Changes channel because this was too scary*
Me now: "Man this is a banger."

[monsterzero]

I always found that Fire-Breathing Robot to be a rather kickass design. Like something out of concept art for Epic Mickey.

[Datte]

I just realized that Atom Ant was battling the four horsemen of the apocalypse

[davionanderson]

Who else can agree that the mutant elephant is ironically scarier than the horsemen of the apocalypse

[AdahnFlorence]

Man this aesthetic is so fucking fascinating, like the way it uses a mixed media look and CG and practical effects together reminds me of so much. There's some bits in this that look like Sex Pistols album covers, Parappa the rapper, old Soviet PSAs, that one section from Grim Fandango where Manny goes into the world of the living. It just feels like theres alot going on here with the visuals.

I love how they've pulled from those old atomic bomb safety videos, it makes it sound awesome

[ninjatoaster]

1:17 "His job is to protect us when there is danger of the atomic bomb." Good grief The danger has grown since then.

[shadowmaster]

Insane to me that they sampled an atomic bomb psa for an atom ant theme remix and put it on the network

[kfcdoubledown]

I've always loved this music video, had a great flair to it that set it aside from the rest of the Groovies they were showing at the time and a lot of more subtle bits like the three-headed man "selling smiles", and their being the Four Horsemen.

I think it sums up Boomerangs really cool but oddly creepy style. Like, it's really weird and uncomfortable, but also really stylish and 60's. "W E M U S T A L L G E T R E A D Y N O W"

[DreadfulNedburns]

I don't wanna call this deep, but there is a lot more going on than the 'weird cut out style' that i summed it up as when i was six.
The moment your brain recognises the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse imagery...

[sdestroyer]

I remember being woken up at the ass end of dawn to this psychedelic shit blasting from the tv just before having to go to school, this and Boomerang's music was both creepy and nostalgic, i miss it tbh

For me, before I knew about Ant-Man and the Atom, there was Atom Ant.

[PrincipalityofBelka]

Holy hell that 3 headed man looks like a My Life As a Teenage robot villan

[rattletooth]

This changed my young brain when i first saw it i think if it often. The art style, the sound bites, the music. It's so good

[nobody]

Wow, this is great. Good work! This one always slightly creeped me out as a kid

[rubberbandbacraft]

Just noticed. He removed the bombs but didnt stop death

I found the original audio for the video. It's from a safety video for what to do in case of the atomic bomb. It was called “duck and cover” and you can find the full thing on YouTube
