My daughter is going through a "let's beat mummy up " fase (she's 3and a half) and today, without thinking I automatically put my arm up infront of me to block her "Kungfu Panda kicks" and said "you cannot harm me...my wings are like a shield of steel!!" in that deep, stong, masculine, all American voice!!! I couldn't for the life of me recall where it came from!..and that's how I got to be on this site! now I'm determined to order the dvd set for my daughter to watch (at least then she won't think I'm crazy when I put the Batfink voice on!!!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1168811707189419412007-01-14T16:55:00.000-05:002007-01-14T16:55:00.000-05:00When I was a kid Batfink come on at times (and rec...When I was a kid Batfink come on at times (and reception quality) that were unpredicably bizarre. Channel 3 from Newark, NJ tyransmitteed up to us in Connecticut - some 50+ miles away - and it depended upon the rabbit ear"calibration" and the weather. Courageous Cat, Speed Racer, Magilla Gorilla, Gigantor,... were all in this "lousy Black+White static interference" dimension of broadcast.<BR/><BR/>There was a movie: Billy the Kid meets Dracula that we saw one rainy Sunday afternoon. There were no more than 20 kids, placed around the theatre in groups of 2 or 3. Billy shoots Dracula and Dracula says "your bullets can not harm me" From about a dozen corners of the theatre there was a response (in perfect unison) "my wings are like a shield of Steel"!!! Followed by cheering and piss-in-your-pants laughter at what we all had just said!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1154299200539641072006-07-30T17:40:00.000-05:002006-07-30T17:40:00.000-05:00I got the DVD set and it's fantastic to have the w...I got the DVD set and it's fantastic to have the whole collection of episodes. I live in HK and watched Batfink at sporadic intervals on local TV when I was a kid. They were usually used as fillers in between other cartoons or kids programmes.<BR/><BR/>I also was a bit disappointed when only the instrumental themes were played at the beginning of each episode. I also would have loved to sing along with the full lyrics of the memorable theme song...but unfortunately its not on the compilation DVD. Also, a few extras would have been nice too, but since it was made in the '50s, I guess very little remains...<BR/>All in all - a must-buy if you're a Batfink fan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1141564505809235702006-03-05T08:15:00.000-05:002006-03-05T08:15:00.000-05:00Can anyone tell me whether the UK DVD box set incl...Can anyone tell me whether the UK DVD box set includes the original Batfink Theme song? The repeats I have seen only have the instrumental music at the start of each episode... but there was a whole marvellous song, some of the lyrics of which were "...and Batfink has a supersonic radar.

I disagree with your opinion that the show's animation was abominable; imo, it was perfect for it.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I remember this fantastic line from Hugo-a-go-go, when he was teaching his gang members the basics of crime: What do you do if you fail at first?

When asked howq he got out he would only say "there's no time to explain that now" or something to that effect. <BR/><BR/>I think I remember that from when this show was on Weinerville.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923040690657152891noreply@blogger.com
