Set in World War I, Dick Dastardly, his dog Muttley, and the rest of the Vulture Squadron are bent on capturing Yankee Doodle Pigeon to prevent him from delivering his messages to the enemies. Aboard their many crazy aircraft, Dastardly and Muttley devise nefarious plans to stop the pigeon. Their motivation is the possibility of earning a medal or maybe even a 30 day furlough. The only problem is, that crafty pigeon always seems to be one step ahead. —Brian D. Switzer <bswitzer@uoguelph.ca>

Quotes
[theme song]
Dick Dastardly: Muttley, you sniggering cowardly hound / When courage is needed, you're never around! / Those medals you wear on your moth-eaten chest / should be for bungling, in which you are best! / / So, Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon, / Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon, / Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon / Stop the pigeon, how? / Nab him, jab him / tab him, grab him / stop that pigeon NOW!
Dick Dastardly: So, Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon, / Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon, / Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon / Stop the pigeon, how? / Nab him, jab him / tab him, grab him / stop that pigeon NOW!
Dick Dastardly: You, Zilly, stop sneaking, you don't have a chance / For you return by the seat of your pants! / And you, Klunk, build me a thingumabob / That catches that pigeon, or I'll lose my job!
Dick Dastardly: So, Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon, / Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon, / Stop the pigeon, stop the pigeon / Stop the pigeon, how? / Nab him, jab him / tab him, grab him / stop that pigeon NOW!

10/10

watched this in the 90s as a kid.

Originally watched it in portuguese, after watching it in its original language I found it even smartier and funnier. Newer cartoons would be way better if they took some things from the past. Too bad it isn't possible because there's so much interest nowadays to push for the current agenda, etc.
