Even as a kid in the 90s , I could sense that this cartoon was artistically and thematically different than all the other cartoons prevalent back then. The urban jungle aesthetic, the unusual character and environment designs, the detailed futurism, the animation ... Everything about this show was made with care and attention, by a team that clearly cared about their final product.

Kinda bizarre how 2040 was futuristic but now this show is older than the time between now and 2040.

I remember watching this series in my childhood.....it was way ahead of it's time

I saw this as a kid. I didn't appreciate it as much. But now rewatching it as an adult, its interesting. A plant that evolved to feed off of pollution, we could use something like that.

The values of this show stayed with me. And till this day, even if I am the only one. I care, because someone has to care.

The ideas which was shown in the cartoon is relevant today even more than in 90-s.Climat changes, wars for resources ( in Arctic too), ecological problems, diseases, power of corporations and corruption.

It's a shame that we never had another Phantom cartoon series one about the 21th Phantom from the comics set in the 30's.💀

What a hidden gem. Aired Sunday’s at 6 in the morning back in the day. MTV style due to the Peter Cheung art design. Well-known voice actors from sci-fi and fantasy. Environmental theme. Classically awkward integration of 90’s CGI. And that theme song was incredible. Really wish this would get a proper release on blu-ray or streaming service.

Predates Batman Beyond by two years

turn up the video on future uploads plz, I watch on my TV surround system.. when ads come on I have to mute for sound difference

I was obsessed with this series as a teen.

This is the coolest animated series I've ever watched and his high tech gadgets are way ahead of it's time!

Phantom was the first Superhero to use UnderWear outside

Future heroes. A staple of the 90s. Flying cars, and synth guitars!

I am 28 born 1995, and I grew up on this type of stuff. Also the original power rangers, pokemon, double dragon, the list goes on...

I am 49 years, I am blessed and proud to say, I have seen those divine, nowadays kids missing lot

dude... i had a cassette of this animation back in the day, i was like 4 or maybe 6, this is one hell of a nostalgia attack

There is very much a ''Batman Beyond'' feel to this cartoon. Only this did it first, brilliant stuff.

I heard of this show when I saw an ad for the video game in an EGM magazine from 1995, but I never saw this show back in 1994 when I was 2 years old, in fact, I didn't know it even existed and aired on TV. I wanted to watch this show for years until I finally did in 2022. It is a great series based on Peter Falk's The Phantom. When I saw the first episode back in 2019, I was shocked the character design looked so much liked Æon Flux (and surprise, surprise! Peter Chung did the character designs). Phantom 2040 is a fantastic 90s animated series I've been watching recently.

When I was a kid, this and the new Speed Racer would come on around 7am every Saturday, they werent my favorite cartoons but they were a reminder that the weekend is here and the Saturday morning cartoons I really wanted to see (Spiderman, X-Men and Batman) were airing later on that morning, I miss the 90s....
