In 1966, Format Films released a series of cartoon shorts starring The Lone Ranger and Tonto. These were quite interesting, if unusual. You see, many of these seemed to have strong steampunk elements...obviously influenced by the then-contemporary The Wild Wild West. (There was even a semi-recurring villain who was a little person--Tiny Tom--lifted clean from TWWW's Dr. Loveless.) There were heat rays, human dynamos, mechanical monsters, portals to prehistoric times, lost dinosaur valleys...that kind of thing.

So this is a rather unusual take on the Lone Ranger mythos. (A later Filmation cartoon series, from 1980, was far more realistic, often dealing with historical figures or situations.) But this did have its charm, despite the steampunk/sci-fi/fantasy elements fitting somewhat uneasily with the masked man's environment. The animation, though limited by television budgets, was rather innovative and atmospheric. The voice work was terrific. And Tonto, despite having the broken English he wouldn't lose until the 1980 cartoon, had some solo outings and was always depicted as smart and resourceful.

One YouTube DIY riffer--Josh Way of Fun With Shorts--has been doing riffs of these. But plenty of DIY riffers have done shorts that you guys have covered (and vice versa), and who's to say that as good a job as Josh does, you couldn't outdo him?
