What was your favorite cartoon as a kid?
 

I'm quite ashamed to admit that I religously viewed "Talespin."

I hear skip enjoyed silent cartoons.

Babar

Whoa! And I thought talespin was gay!

Spider Man and his Amazing Friends.

I remember watching Robotech right before school each morning.

Also remember both versions of Voltron. The Lions one and then the vehicles one.

I liked Robotech to. There were 3 series I remeber the first one was pretty good, the second series sucked and the third series was the best they had motorcycles that became battlesuits or something.

The original Scooby Doo, Speed Racer and Battle of the Planets were all favorites.

One was definitely Speed Racer. Although they weren't cartoons, how about some Johnny Socko and his Flying Robot and Ultraman?

Transformers, Spiderman, and Hercules were three of my favorites.

I liked He-Man, GI Joe, Voltron, Inspector Gadget, Flintstones, Scooby Doo. Bugs Bunny and Friends when I was much younger. I also remember getting up at 5 in the morning and watching the cartoon express on USA. The Laugh-Olympics were the greatest.

Now I'm partial to Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

ooh, yeah, forgot about transformers. Loved transformers and Thundercats too.

Damn. No love for the Road Runner? Wile E. Coyote is the greatest cartoon character ever IMO.

Those were cool. I loved watching Ultraman and the flying robot. Cool shows.

I wanted to BE Space Ghost. I clearly remember taping typing paper around my forearms and (mentally) shooting death rays at aliens lurking around my house.

:shake:

Wile was awsome, I can never make up my mind which Bugs Bunny character I like better him or Yosemite Sam.

Space Ghost was on Cartoon Express on USA.

I like it far better now that he does his talk show.

What was with the circling vomit that opened Ultraman?

Battle of the Planets / G-Force

Wacky Racers. I really liked the ensemble cast and the fact that endings were unpredictable. You never knew who would win that week's race.

Gotta love Mickey. :)

I remember some of the Saturday morning cartoons being, Transformers, He-man, the Smurfs, the Snorkles (basically underwater smurfs), Looney Tunes, and I found the Hair Bears on Cartoon Network the other day. I was a little older, but my nephew would watch X-Men on Saturday mornings when I was babysitting him for a while. There were more, but I've slept several times since then.

I've noticed that there aren't really Saturday morning cartoons as I remember them anymore. Once shows like Saved by the Bell and City Guys came on, cartoons became extinct. Now it's educational type shows that they borrow from the Discovery Channel. Poors kids get enough education at school during the week. Bring back cartoons!!!!

At some point when I was a little kid, I realized that I knew about Mickey, but I had never seen him in a cartoon. To this day, I don't think I've ever seen him, other than introducing a skit on the old Walt Disney Show. He's kind of like the J.D. Salinger of cartoon characters.

By the time Inspector Gadget got over, I didn't have time to walk to school on time, so I was late nearly every day.

I also really liked the stuff that was rarely on, Like HR PufnStuf or Land of the Lost.

Oh, Mickey's done tons of cartoons. Disney used to show them in the mornings, after movies, he's done movies and shows.

But I must say I grew up on Disney.

There's a cartoon on the Disney Channel. I forget what it's called. But Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy run a club. All the Disney animated stars from all the Disney shows/movies come to eat dinner and take in a show. They usually show old cartoons. There's usually things that happens at the club that they have to take care of.

The House of Mouse? That's crap.

Looney Tunes
Tennessee Tuxedo
Johnny Quest

Yep, that's the one. I didn't really care for it either, but I liked to watch the old cartoon footage.

Speaking of old Disney cartoons, I think one of my favorites would have to be the one where Goofy does the instructional video. I think it was different exercise equipment. Something like that.

I used to run home from school in order to be in time to catch the beginnings of Speed Racer. I see it now and wonder about the 8 year old mind.

Big Time rep!!!!

Definately Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Disney put out a series of VHS tapes several years back that had a lot of the old Mickey/Minnie/Goofy cartoons that were so popular when we were kids. Even though my kids are older now, we still keep the tapes (until they come out on DVD) to occasionally drag them out to watch.

Looney Tunes (Bugs, Daffy, Sylvester, etc)
Rocky & Bullwinkle (Still crack me up)
Johnny Quest (Is Hadji an insurgent now?)
Popeye (Well Blow Me Down! WTF?)
Yogi Bear (Is Boo Boo Illegitimate?)

I know a lot of you like Disney, but I don't think Walt would like the meglo-mania greedy marketing Michael Eisner World Domination Disney Corporation. They've gotten waaaaay out of control.

Also, Looney Tunes didn't sell out (aka "Space Jam") until AFTER Mel Blanc kicked.

Looney Tunes
Merrie Melodies
Ultraman
Speed Racer
Hanna Barbera (snagglepuss, Huckleberry Hound,Yogi bear, Penelope Pitstop, Jetsons. etc)
MrMcGoo
Dudley Doright
Fat Albert
ScoobyDoo
Rocky and Bullwinkle

Peanuts Specials

I never missed Space Ghost. Well at least when I didn't have to go to F'ing catechism on Saturday morning.

gotta throw in the Flintstones & the Jetsons

I disagree to some extent.....

I think if Walt were alive today, there wouldn't have been the lean years that Disney had before Eisner came along. Much as he is reviled, if it weren't for Michael Eisner, The Disney Corporation might have gone into the tank, especially with Roy running the company.

While I think that Disney is more about the money now, than quality of entertainment, they still know how to put out good family fare. And face it, who would you rather have owning Disney....the present situation, Roy Disney, Rupert Murdoch or Ted Turner?

They have at some level, maintained some of Walts' dream, but in cases where it means more money, they have modified it a little.

No contest - Doug.

Let's so, there were so many. I remember scheduling life around cartoons when I was a kid.

Okay, when I was little (and I know I'm going to catch hell for this) :
Care Bears
My Little Pony
Smurfs
Jem and the Holograms
Pound Puppies
GI Joe
Transformers
Thundercats
Danger Mouse

Then as I got a little older:
Ducktales
Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers
Talespin
X-Men
The Tick
The Adventures of Batman
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles


There's probably 9,000 more, but I can't think of them now. The real sad part is, I can still remember most of those theme songs.

Transformers and TNMT. Sometimes Voltron (the lions one) - but every episode was the same, heh.

:clap:

You are super cool.

TMNT, Doug, and Rocko's Modern Life ranked very high on my list.

I also liked Darkwing Duck quite a lot, though I didn't watch it very often.

That's the Super-Kickass-Disney-Troika. :thumb:

Life is like a hurricane
Here in, Duckburg...

Zorak > Tad Ghostal

(God, I loved SGC2C and Cartoon Planet back in the mid-to-late '90s -- too bad music licensing issues keep Cartoon Planet from being aired on Adult Swim or even put on DVD.)

Underdog is my favorite as well... in fact, as a tribute to my childhood, I got a tattoo of underdog on my left arm.

As serious as life gets, it reminds me to nurture the child within.

Are you serious?

Yeah... your inner child is a dork, Ali. :D

I thought about getting Bugs Bunny tattooed on my other shoulder blade. But then I decided against it.

Another cartoon I loved that I haven't seen mentioned is Hong Kong Fuey

Voiced by Scatman Caruthers.

Thems fighting words... Rashaan Shehe. ROFL

heh, i'm older than mickey mouse...




well, almost...


(mickey was born in 1928)

We all think you're Goofey!!! :p

no, goofey is my cousin...

i'm goofy... :D :D :D

You should have had it put on your underarm.


As an additional bonus, it would then appear if you raised your arms to fly like Underdog.

George of the Jungle
Yosemite Sam and Daffy Duck
Foghorn Leghorn

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...I loved them

Speed Racer
Woody Wood Pecker

Thundar the Barbarian

Never revisit childhood favorites. :shake:

Mostly Transformers and Voltron

Popeye (the original), Felix the Cat, the Pink Panther, Bugs Bunny, and Bullwinkle.

ROFL

I felt the exact same way with Speed Racer. I remebered it as the coolest show on Earth (well, one of the), that is until I watched the DVD a few years ago.

thundarr stands the test of time.. Trying to find the dvds, show is still great...
