Boy, i almost had a tear come down this morning when I saw a picture of my favorite cartoon as a child "Alvin and the Chipmunks". I remember as a kid after school, watching this cartoon show almost every day. It brings back many nice memories and a piece of my innocence.

I always liked Chip and Dale, which is just soo apropriate.. who are strangely absent from the avalanche of merchandise sold at the Disney Themeparks.. guess they dont want them to be a bad influence..

I loved The Smurfs :D
Clumsy, Jokey, Brainy, Smurfette, Vanity, Hefty, Gargamel, Azrielle
It's gonna be a movie next year I heard with John Lithgow as one of the voices, I guess he'd be Papa Smurf
-
I used to live for Robotech. They recently released the series on DVD and I've been contemplating the purchase. I'm just not sure if it was a great piece of work or whether I was a stary eyed kid. Gosh, that was over 20 years ago!
-
This is going to date me. Josie and the Pussycats. I was such a budding little queer.
As an adult, clearly the most superior cartoon ever is Pinky and the Brain. Any disagreement will not be entertained.
-
Animaniacs!
I have the first two sets on DVD.
Benj
(Who is also tiny, toony, and loony.)

Fritz the Cat.

I love Fritz the Cat!
It's so deliciously fucked up!

Fritz made Matty the Damned the well adjusted adult he is today.

I was introduced to Fritz the Cat at the tender age of 19.
It was, strangely enough, the same night that I first watched "Pink Flamingos."
It's been downhill ever since.

Me too... I can even sing Wacko's World by heart.
-
i wish I were a kid again..
The cartoons that are on now kinna suck. Except for Spongebob.
-
Looney Tunes -- especially Bugs Bunny, Wile E. Coyote / Road Runner, and Foghorn Leghorn.
The 1970s certainly produce some unusual and not-so-memorable cartoons: Anyone remember The Perils of Penelope Pitstop? ::)

United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Haiti, Jamaica, Peru...
My favorite is the Ingmar Bergman parody... when Wakko dies from eating too many Swedish meatballs so they challenge Death to a game of checkers.
"Are we dead... or is this Ohio?"
It was sheer brilliance.
-
Freakazoid. ^___^;.
I liked Garfield & Friends, Hey! Arnold, Rugrats, Power Rangers (not a cartoon, but hey), Scooby Doo.
Uhhh. I still watch cartoons. Haha. They suck compared to the ones that I grew up with (cartoons from the mid 90s). But some are cool. Spongebob is fucking awesome.
-
The Perils of Penelope Pitstop?
;D ;D
I always liked the Flintstones and the Jetsons! I'm still waiting for dinner in a pill form!
-
SuperFriends was definitely my favorite Saturday morning cartoon growing up.

Of course later they added The Wonder Twins. You can see here what eventually became of them.

-
Rocky & Bullwinkle, Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw, Hekyll and Jekyll, all the Looney Toons.....
As an adult, my favorite is Goofy. He always makes me smile, and the Goofy laugh is my one "impression"....uh-HEEE-uh
;D
-
When I was really little, I was entranced by Batfink. A Hal Segar cartoon from the late 60's.
The theme song was cool as:
The Bat-illac is ready, it's a wonder car (really just a zooped up pink VW beetle),
And Batfink has his Supersonic Sonar Radar ,
A missile that can find him, he will never feel,
His wings are his protection, like a shield of steel.
It's Batfink.....
and Karate.
And, who can forget the villian; Hugo A-Go-Go.
As I grew, and to this day, anything directored by Chuck Jones. He directed the majority of the Looney Cartoons that are now considered to be classic. His style was unique. You'd know him from your favourite Roadrunner, Bugs, Elma Fudd and Daffy cartoons.

For me it's a toss up between the Peanuts cartoon specials and Felix the Cat. The Jetsons was also a big favorite of mine.

Roobarb and Custard...insane music and definately a subtext, though of course for innuendo, it has to be 'Captain Pugwash' although I understand that Seaman Stains and Master Bates were in fact apocryphal ;D
Love the disney animations of course...the Tigger Movie dubbed into russian definately the funniest thing I've ever seen!
-
"Underdog" and "Johnny Quest" for me, but my all time favorite and still is today "Scooby Doo"!
-
I do remember Penelope Pitstop, and the whole Wacky Races thing, as well as Batfink. Josie and the Pussycats was a fave,until they became The Pussycats in Outer Space. I never could stand that alien pet of Melody's, Bleep... I know that it wasn't a cartoon, but it was wierd enough, does anyone remember Sigmund and the Sea Monsters? No wonder we're all so screwed up.. watching this stuff for hours every Sat. morning warped my fragile little brain :D :D
-
Awwww. all you guys sound adorable talking about cartoons.
-
not all cartoons
UK-
the clangers, bagpuss, magic roundabout, dangermouse, thunderbirds/stingray, basil brush (boom boom :)) moomins (they were deffo smoking summat, no?)
USA - mr rogers, captain kangeroo, looney tunes, lamb chop, dastardly & muttley, jetsons, flintstones
South Africa -
Interster (kinda afrikaans Thunderbirds - does anyone else remember this..? I loved it)
Bangalory Time? I am humming the theme tune, something about "following the bangalory man" and "taking my horse round the world for a jig"..whatever that means
Liewe Heksie, which I used to listen to on the radio, although they did make a tvshow of it later. I always felt sorry for her when the kabouters were makign fun of her.. "moenie vir my lag nie" - that was her, yes?
..and there was one with a cow, mina moo..? That might have been radio though too.
As a big person I think The Simpsons is amazing. Family Guy good, too.
kate
ps - does anyone, uk or otherwise (can't remember where I was) recall Jungle Ted & the lacy button-poppers…? Sort of felt animals, & a tarzan-ish character…they all had these weird fastener things holding them together..very short, like 10mins each, but there was something not quite right about it..

Everything by Sid and Marty Croft is untouchable. Witchy Poo and the Flute are my faves.

I liked Sigmund and the Seamonsters, but I HATED H.R. Puffinstuff!

I am all over some Sid and Marty Krofft! My much-maligned recent avatar was of Benita Bizarre from The Bugaloos. I loved the Far Out Space Nuts, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, The Lost Saucer and, of course...Land of the Lost.
But for old cartoons, I loved Precious Pupp. He was that great dog who terrorized everyone right under the nose of Granny Sweet. She was totally wrapped around his paw. He has a great wheezy laugh that got used again for Muttley.

Who wants to talk about being aged?

I always made time for The Jetsons, Flinstones, Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, Tom and Jerry
-
As a child: The Amazing Superfriends and Spiderman
As an adult: Herculoids (before my time), rediscovering them now and the colors are trippin'!
I also enjoy the twisted and perverse Ren and Stimpy.
-
Oh, oh. I also really liked Captain Planet.
(http://www.graxdomain.co.uk/images/captain_planet.gif)
You're right, mom. I'm not gay. It's just a phase.
Edited to add this because everyone needs to hear the theme song. Hahaha.

I remember Josie and the Pussycats, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, Land of the Lost, The Jetsons, Scooby Doo, Wonder Twins power Unite...
My favorite was Speed Racer, and (I can't remember the name of it) a little white lion cub who ruled the jungle. It was Speed Racer at 12noon, then the little lion cub at 12:30pm.

I think the Croft brothers' productions are a generational appreciation phenomenon. I hated H.R. Pufnstuf's puppets and the story lines. Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Bullwinkle and Rocky, the Flintstones, the Jetsons, and others were cartoons. The only puppets I remember are Kukla, Fran, and Ollie (excluding Fran) and there's a very vague memory of Howdy Doody but I think it instilled a life-long fear of marionettes which I harbor to this day. I would not be able to sleep in a room with a marionette in it.
When Sesame Street came along I watched it in high school (remember at 3PM most other channels were running soap operas and I'd rather eat a bug than watch one). Land of the Lost was about the only Croft show I'd watch sometimes because there a cute teen boy in the cast. Now, to reach an all-time low I'm going to admit something I've never told a living soul: as a 9 year old I had a crush on Race Bannon, the blond adult on Jonny Quest. It may have been my first acknowledged homosexual attraction.

i liked HE-MAN ;D

This is going to go over the heads of everyone but the older members...
If Lamb Chop married Howdy Doody she would be Lamb Doody.

How could I forget Shari Lewis? I loved her and sock puppets never scared me like ventriloquests' dummies still do. Which is good because I cannot wear shoes without thick, absorbent, cushiony socks.

I am so glad someone is behind me on this one! That dragon was the stupidist creature I've seen on TV. Now "Land of the Lost" was awesome. I still remember that monkey boy named "Chaka".
-
I just remembered this great cartoon that was on when I was a kid called "Belle and Sebastian."
The cartoon came before the band...
-
My favorite cartoons were:
G-Force (Battle Of The Planets)
Star Blazers
You can find them on YouTube.
-
I can't remember the actual cartoon but I've always liked saying the name Pingu! Oh and Chilly Willy. I do believe they were both very cute wee penguins. Thinking about it I also like the waving penguin emoticon thingy on MSN. Maybe I just have a wierd thing for penguins... ::)
Miss Melia :)
(whose 'inner child' still likes most cartoon type things)

Voltron! Defender of the universe!!

Also GI Joe and sometimes He-man.
-
I remember Hong Kong Fui or however you spell it, I think the person who was the voice for him was Scatman Carouthers, wasn't it? I also like Speed Racer, but also liked Shazam and Isis but those weren't cartoons.
-
My Lady Q is right!
Hong Kong Fui....number one super guy!
Hong Kong Fui....quicker than the human eye!
Yes, it was Scatman Crothers who did the voice. I still love that cartoon.
I was also into G Force. Remember getting into big trouble with my mother when I was little because I threw an absolute HISSY FIT in a store because we weren't going to get home in time to see G Force that night. Must have been about 8 at the time.
And for the record: I will still watch a good cartoon. I currently watch Veggie Tales on saturday morning if I get the chance.

I "still" sing that song, puck! How can I forget that tune! :D
-
this is the song that never ends
yes it goes on and on my friends
some people started singing it not knowing what it was
and they'll continue singing it forever just because :D
P.S. I swear G-Force was written by drama kweens :D There came a point where even I had to question my own G-Force mania. I'll blame my cousins
-
I know I will prolly get bitch slapped for this but I liked Sailor Moon......
-
Sailor "who"?... ??? The only sailor I've ever known is Popeye!
-
Judging from the size of Popeye's forearms, we can conclude that he:
A: Masturbated a LOT, and:
B: Was ambidextrous.
And NO, I did not fantasize about him, but another famous sailor. Capt. Crunch ;D ;D
-

Catman,
No I never did fantasize about Captain Kangaroo per se. But I still have some great wet dreams about a three way between me, him, and Mister Greenjeans (pant pant) Whose jeans maybe aren't quite so green by the time we're done :o ;D :o ;D :o

Saw the live action Transformers trailer in the movie theater the other day. I really hope they don't muck it up. I loved that cartoon.

Bugs Bunny The First Cross Dresser

Hmmm. Marine boy, all looney tunes, captain caveman, hong kong phooey, scooby doobie doo, huckleberry hound, bullwinkle and rocky, etc. ::) ::)

Bugs Bunny The First Cross Dresser
No joke! And he always kissed guys, too! Love me some Bugs. (Wonder if that was short for Buggery?)
My Saturday Veggie Tales hour is on now. I'm thrilled.
-
Transformers and Smurfs rule!

A Bugs Bunny episode I saw as a child... Did not make much sense at the time but, Bugs and Sylvester were throwing each other out of the house in the snow and at night. In one scene, Bugs throws Sylvester out, stands at the door and says "Hey Sylvester, don't forget your rubbers!" Have the best day

I do remember that episode but not those comments. I'd love to see a re-run and get the real laugh out of those words! I'll really get a kick out of it now... ;D

Where do you keep that time machine? ;) You're really going waaay back in time when I wasn't even 10 yet. I was even surprised when someone "antibody" mentioned Simba the White Lion! I do remember that too. Disney really did nasty ripping off that name and giving no credit to the first cartoon that used it!
