15. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
As popular as 1978’s Attack of the Killer Tomatoes has become as a cult movie, the fact is it isn’t very good – so it was quite weird to see a cartoon spin-off of the franchise (especially one aimed at children).
The animated Attack of the Killer Tomatoes series was actually based on 1980’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes – the original movie’s sequel – and it was awful. It couldn’t decide what kind of cartoon it wanted to be and regularly contradicted itself – and the stories and characters were poorly written.
It aired for two seasons – the second of which saw a change in animation style (which was confusing to viewers), becoming the first ever Saturday morning cartoon to be computer animated – totalling twenty-one episodes.
