I only remember one scene from this old 80s cartoon . The scene showed a boy and I guess who is his mother in a helicopter or spaceship looking down at these very large alien creatures that are "stampeding" across the earth below. I don't remember anything else about this show. Not even if it was a good one or not. If you've seen Starship Troopers, there is a very large bug in the show with multiple large, red eyes. This is what made me think of the cartoon. From what I can remember the alien creatures were somewhat peaceful and the boy may have wanted to save them? All I can remember are those red eyes. I've been thinking about it for years now and would love to hear your thoughts on the matter.
