Cartoon Muscle

[penguin101]

Welcome to the new cartoon muscle thread.

This thread has been started purely with the intent of getting back to how cartoon muscle appreciation once was.

It is a place to post and talk about sightings of muscle and muscle growth in animated shows and movies. You can also post screen captures and images of cartoon muscle and growth. There can be artwork and morphs that you have found, or that you may have drawn yourself. There can be fan fictions that you have found or have written. If it's from a cartoon and there's muscle in it, it can be posted and discussed here.

I'll start the ball rolling by naming a few shows with muscle that you may not have heard of or come across in your travels.

Sinbad Jr. (and His Magic Belt): made in the 60s, and featuring Mel Blanc, this show was about Sinbad Jr. the sailor who would get out of sticky situations by tightening a belt that gave him superhuman powers. One of these was an incredible physique and strength to match. The Sam Singer version I think had the better growth scenes, as you could see the muscles stretch and bulge out like balloons, though the Hanna-Barbera version had a more defined body on Sinbad, and even featured a few episodes where you saw him shirtless. ^_^

Dragon Flyz: a show from the 90s about warriors who fought battles in the sky, astride powerful dragons. The men on this show were RIPPED. The arms and the chests on those guys. Might not have been the hugest things in existence, but man were they impressive. Then again, a lot of the good warriors are.

A.T.O.M: a fairly recent French-made show about extreme sports fanatics and their hi-tech vehicles fighting evil in all forms and locations. In my opinion, the guys in this show are HAWT. Again, not exactly massive, but toned, trim and terrific. It's shows like this that make you thank God for tank tops, board shorts and wetsuits.

Bananaman: an older British cartoon, where a kid would get superpowers from eating a banana. Not a bad bod on Bananaman, and the transformation may be brief, but certainly not too shabby.

Action Man (1995): another one where a good deal of males are ripped. There was even an episode where a weak little nerd became huge after a steroid treatment. No growth, but the bod was still great.

If anyone else has some other material to share, please don't hesitate to share it. Everyone and their opinion is welcome here.

There were a few different ones I remember but I have had one hell of a time trying to find them.

An obvious one, Fairly Odd parents. Everyone knows about it and all its muscle growth glory.

There was also Mummies Alive. Only one episode with a transformation but it was called Dr. Jekkyl and Mr. Huxley I think. The main character's teacher gets sucked into a magical artifact and become possessed with unbelievable powers.

Also, the cartoon, Kong. About king kong but i remember several episodes with substantial muscle growth or power transference.
