Anyone remember 'Solar Squad'? Obscure late 90s animated gem.

Hey all, long time lurker here. Been racking my brain about this one – 'Solar Squad' was this amazing Saturday morning cartoon that aired for like a hot minute in '97. It had these kids who could merge with their alien pets and fight space crime or something. Animation was choppy, probably why it didn't last, but the character designs were super unique? If anyone has ANY info or like a clip, that'd be wild. Been trying to find it for a nostalgia trip.

First time poster here... 'Solar Squad' sounds so familiar. I think my cousin had an action figure from the show - looked like a kid in a space suit? That’s all I got though.

As someone who archives retro shows, 'Solar Squad' is one of the holy grails. I've been on the lookout for any production cells, scripts, or VHS recordings. The animation studio supposedly had a massive liquidation sale in the early 2000s – there could be some lost eps out there. If I find anything, I'll share.

There's a theory that 'Solar Squad' got yanked cause it was too close to the truth about alien life lol. Kinda out there, but with the weirdness of that show, I almost buy it. Who knows what the government doesn’t want us to see 👽

Oh, 'Solar Squad'. Overrated mess if you ask me. There's a reason some shows don't get remembered - they weren’t that great to begin with. Maybe let this one stay lost?

Hey there! So here's the thing about lost media like 'Solar Squad', it was on such a short run that finding legit clips is rare. The show had licensing issues which is why it kinda vanished into thin air. Protip: Might wanna check physical media swap meets or collector's fairs. I've seen weirder stuff resurface in places like that.

You're in luck! I remember 'Solar Squad'. It aired on a pretty obscure network and got pulled pretty quick. But I think the character designs were by some dude who later worked on big shows like 'Samurai Jack'. Will dig around - I might have some old VHS tapes with a few episodes recorded. No promises on quality though.

DUDE, Solar Squad!! I thought I was the only one who remembered that show. I swear the blue alien dog thing was my fav. No clips, but I’ll hit up some old forums and see if anyone's got the goods.
