Voices That became the problem, to maintain a feeling of Godzilla and at the same time cut down everything that he did. "The problem with the show was simply this: When they start telling you in Standards and Practices, 'Don't shoot any flame at anybody, don't step on any buildings or cars,' then pretty soon, they've taken away all the stuff he represents. īarbera also explained why the show had little violence and deviated from the source material. The show had a sort of father-son relationship, which we had done before on shows like Augie Doggie and Jonny Quest. So, I came up with the character Godzooky, who was like his son.

Hanna-Barbera was unable to use Godzilla's trademark roar, so they cast Ted Cassidy to voice the character, similar to his role in the live-action series The Incredible Hulk.

For instance, Godzilla's claw can wrap around a large ship, and only minutes later the team of scientists fit rather neatly on Godzilla's palm. Godzilla's size in the animated series shifts radically, sometimes within a single episode or even one scene. Godzooky is also able to howl to summon Godzilla. The group often call upon Godzilla by using a special signaller when in peril, such as attacks by other giant monsters. Whenever Godzooky tries to breathe fire, he usually just coughs up smoke rings. Godzooky can attempt to fly using the small wings under his arms. Also along for the ride is Godzooky, the "cowardly nephew" of Godzilla and Pete's best friend, who has a lighthearted role in the show. Quinn Darien, her nephew Pete, and her research assistant Brock. The rest of the crew include scientist Dr. The series follows the adventures of a team of scientists on the Calico, a hydrofoil research vessel, headed by Captain Carl Majors.
