Cool Video: Fan-made Saturday morning cartoon intro for Friday the 13th!

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

So this is is great! Parodying the advent of R-rated Saturday morning cartoons in the 80s/early 90s (including ROBOCOP, RAMBO, TOXIC AVENGER, and even a proposed ALIEN: COLONIAL MARINES cartoon that released a toyline), artist Mike Chiechi posted a funny fan animation imagining a world where coked-up 80's executive greenlit a Saturday morning cartoon for kids based on the FRIDAY THE 13TH franchise called JASON AND FRIENDS. 

You can watch it below, from his Facebook page "Frank's Kid":

Wow, this cartoon really nails the old-school Hanna-Barbara schlock of the era, right down to the graded film stock, stilted animation, and shoehorned in pet sidekick!

Meanwhile, you can check out more of Chiechi's art on his FB page and Insta account!
