What Was Your Favourite Cartoons As A Child

h7nlrp2v0g5u48

I watched some very funny cartoons when I was a child. The ones I found the funniest were the likes of Mr. Mago, Droopy and Road Runner to name but a few. Even with my own kids growing up they used to find the older cartoons the best over the newer ones. So just for fun lets see who can come up with some crackers.

Jack the Stripper

Pawpatrol

Dastardly and muttley "Catch the pigeon"

Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny and Woody Woodpecker is all I can think of.

RiderOnTheStorm

Pink Panther. He had a great car and he was never the butt of the joke.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Transformers
Centurions
Teenage mutant Ninja turtles
James Bond jr

Winterlong

Top cat!

Tauriel

Scooby Doo
Animals of Farthing Wood
Jackie Chan Adventures
Smurfs
Cardcaptors
Digimon
Looney Tunes
Tom & Jerry

Porky Pig.

Banjo

Loved the Looney Tunes ones, He Man, Dungeons and Dragons, Duckula, Dangermouse, Flash Gordon, Defenders of the Earth, Trap Door, MASK, Ulysses 31, Centurions and of course Battle of the Planets.

The thing is though, when you compare them to some of the stuff that's on kids TV now, they're so slow moving and obvious and dull. Not a patch on the rapid fire lunacy of Teen Titans Go! or the innocent moronity of Clarence or the subtle depth of Adventure Time or the heartwarming We Bare Bears. Cartoons have come a long way. A lot of it is probably down to the toys being developed after the show takes off rather than the other way around.

I grew up in the 70s and so I got to watch The Amazing Spiderman, Valley of the Dinosaurs, Hong Kong Fooey etc. on Saturday mornings. My favourite cartoon character remains Daffy Duck though.

Scooby Doo and Tom and Jerry

I remember a lot of those you mentioned and they don't seem to make them like those any more. I remember sitting down one day and watching a Tom and Jerry matathon on Cartoon ntework but the older ones seemed to be more fun than the more up to date ones for some reason.

Quandary

The original x-men cartoons were my favourite and still hold up well.

Summer wind

The Smurfs Woody Woodpecker, Scooby Doo, Fraggle Rock.

Azatadine

Maybe a different catagory of cartoon but I loved 'Battle of the Planets'.

Hrududu

Mysterious Cities of Gold
Ulysses 31
Dogtanion

jester77

Thundercats, MASK, Jetsons, Gummi Bears... bouncing here and there and everywhere

I was a teenager already but loved watching dangermouse with my kid brothers in the early 80s.

I agree with you Daffy Duck is one of my favourites as was Fog Horn Leg Horn. Who ever came up with a name like that must have been a pure comic genius. Brilliant name for a cartoon character.

Animaniacs and Hey Arnold

Tzardine

Dont see it mentioned yet. Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors was my favorite. Followed by MASK.

Whacky Races still the best. Tom & Jerry a very close second, Pink Panther in third.

Loved Scooby-Doo until Scrappy came along, hated him. Some great stuff in the 70's such as Bod & The Moomins.

If we're talking animation then The Magic Roundabout and Paddington Bear still can't be beat.

SCOOP 64

Mr Benn, he used to visit a fancy dress shop then put on a costume go through a door and come out to different century/time according to the costume, back in the seventies so doubt many would know it.

Mysterious Cities of Gold was amazing - fantastic theme tune too. Turtles was always great and I loved Mask.

I also enjoyed Mrs Pepperpot, Whatamess, Mr Ben, Towser, and Link Anchorman.
