The Best & Worst 80s Cartoon Movie Concepts!

In response to the resurgence of all the great 80s cartoons in Hollywood, we decided to put together another list. We have compiled what we believe to be the 10 best and the 10 worst 80s cartoon movie concepts. First we give you the cartoon, a brief description (for anyone who isn’t familiar) and then OUR movie pitch. We have worked day and night to give you some great and terrible movie ideas!
Keep in mind, that just because something is in the “bad idea” section, it doesn’t mean we don’t love it. This is about whether it is a good idea for a movie or not. Begin wherever you like!
Start at 10 Best! … or start at 10 Worst!
Enjoy!

I’m trying to find the name of an mid 80’s robot cartoon. the show was built around a group of humans living with several automaton robots (pardon the redundancies, I’m tired) one robot was a martial artist, one cleaned the underground lab where they all lived, ect. their enemy was the corrupt world president, who looked suspiciously like lex luthor (the villain had as an assistant a well built blond woman). the one clear detail I remember (I was four or five when this was on the air so bear with my memory) is that the martial arts robot was named zen. can you help me name that show (or movie)
