Bugs Bunny (Looney Toons) from childhood
(But became number 2 when Pinky and the Brain came out as an adult.)
Not 100% cartoon, but I really liked Mr Bogus. It may have been called different things in different countries.
Voltron
if it’s yours too do yourself a favour and NEVER revisit it
Reminds me of Thundercats. I had so much nostalgia for it until I watched it again.
Ok so been thinking about it and it is so dependent on the time period but I think im going to go with an old one that was just so cool relative to what else was on and what came before. It was the us version of a japanese cartoon and the us version was called. Battle of the planets.
Thundaar, the Barbarian. Absolutely wild sci-fi fantasy. Conan meets Adventure Time.
Close contenders are BTAS, Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, He-Man, and TMNT.
wow. hits a lot of things I was thinking about. Its so hard to say because there is a big thing at different periods. I think if the transformers had come out earlier it might be the one but I was watching it when I was a bit to old to watch cartoons (which is still the case).
It’s a tie between GI Joe and Spider-Man & his amazing friends.
Darkwing Duck is probably the one I remember most fondly. It even had a Twin Peaks inspired episode, Twin Beaks, which I didn’t appreciate until I was older.
Impossible to choose from the absolute bangers of the 80s and 90s.
Heathcliffe, Garfield and Friends, GI Joe, Transformers, Jem, Spider-Man, Tiny Toon Adventures, Tom n Jerry, etc.
Franklin. I’m, at least not in the presence of my family, willing to admit I absolutely love the fairly calm antics of that turtle and his friends and family.
None of the ones I can think of hold up all that well since I grew up in the 80s. It wasn’t until the 90s (with The Simpsons at the vanguard) that ones I would consider to be good for all ages started appearing. The Smurfs was my favorite as a kid.
There are lots of short animated czechoslovakian cartoons for one of the first programs dedicated for children. It is called Večerníček and there are loads of good cartoons.
I can’t pick one but I was bit surprised that some of them aired more worldwide. For example Pat & Mat it isn’t cartoon (stop motion) but I linked it because it is silent.
Batman The Animated Series, prolly
The GOAT.
In my case this would something from the '60s and '70s in the UK then - and I suppose that stop-motion in The Clangers or Bagpuss etc wouldn’t really count, so probably between the gentle, character-based storytelling of Ivor the Engine (and that is a cut-out animation - but I’d think still qualifies) and the surrealism, punning and energy of Roobarb (and Custard).
I’d probably go Roobard as well, though still have a soft spot for Mr. Benn.
It’s about even in my heart between Ren and Stimpy and Rocko’s Modern Life.
Samurai Pizza Cats. I fondly remember it because my grandma would have tapes of it in her house so whenever I visited grandma’s, chances are this show would be playing at some point. I loved watching the launch sequence for some reason and the script is even more zany than I remember LMAO
I remember thinking this was top tier as a kid, and I recall nothing other than the theme song, which goes hard.
You’ve just unlocked a childhood memory. Thanks!
No problem! I’m happy there are other people here who remember this show! 😃
Holy anchovy, you too?
I expected myself to be the only answerer for that.
Me too! 😂 My favourite episode is the one with the dragon, it’s the most memorable one to me for some reason! Which is yours?
It’s so hard to choose. I think I’d choose the episode where Polly and Lucille became singers. I remember at one point reflecting fondly on how they got actual musical talent for the episode, which a TV show like that doesn’t have to do. Saban really gave the show their dedication.
