kids should be dreaming about driving some sort of rocket tank to kill their teacher or having a thundercats sword to chop their heads off, or anything along those lines, certainly not talking to their pets and telling their friends they love them, thats not what kids should be.

Card Captor Sakura is actualy pretty damn good in it's true form, it's just nelva ****ed in the ass with their subbing of it. In the japanese version, almost every character is attracted to someone of the same gender, both of sakura's teachers are in love with someone from her class(bear in mind these are 10 year olds), Sakura's father was sakura's mother's teacher, and sakura's mother's (female) cousin was in love with her, and that's why she resents him. Tomoyo/Madison is completely infatuated with sakura, even though they're the same gender and they're, again cousins. Also, Meilin is Li's cousin as well as fiance. CLAMP are a ****ed up organisation. But it is a good anime/manga.

Oh come on people!!!

How can you forget BATTLE OF THE PLANETS!!!!

Also anyone remember the nursery rhyme.. Three Blind Mice?

"....farmers wife
who cut off their tails with a carving knife
did you ever see such fun in your life
as three blind mice."

I mean, we were taught that mutilating disabled animals was FUN!

actually, that may explain a few things...

I quite agree with Raziel. There is far too little mindless baddy bashing going on. As far as I've noticed every new children's cartoon is either some kind of animated soap set in "real life" where NOBODY has superpowers or a secret identity (I blame Hey Arnold for these) or a tie-in to a new collecting game (I don't even know if Card-captors cards are availible in this country).

That said I did watch Jackie Chan's cartoon series today with my little brother. It's exactly what there should be in the afternoons.

Ah the Ninja tutles-the Pokemon of my generation.I watched that show religiously when i was a kid:D Twas a classic.Bebop and Rocksteady were like monsterised versions of Beavis and Butthead(they were dim but cool guys:D )I also remember Shredder and that brain that lived in the robots body(kang or krang wasnt it?)Todays Japenese crap aint a patch on it(though the turtles were japanese made but diffo story).Aye the turtles ruled.As for the singalong types of shows i loved Playbus(?) on BBC(especially the Y Bird stop).Also ALF and the Den in general.But if you watch a few eps of Pokemon they connect to the next like a normal tv series and b4 you know it you watch it every day to find out where they are gone to next.
Dont worry Im attending Pokemonoholics Anonomyous and Ive quit viewing.;)

About the only modern cartoons I'd give my vote to is X-Men (the later series) and Batman Animated (which friggin' kicked ass). Iron Man is cool too, but a little too goody-two-shoes.
As for the one's I grew up on;
Ulysses 31
Captain Planet
Ultra Force (seriously under-rated cartoon)
Thundercats
HE-MAN
Defenders of the Earth
Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors
Transformers
Maxi's World (sad, I know, but Maxi was my first cartoon crush)
Gummi-Bears
Duck Tales
etc etc

I think Mord is refering to the version from the late 60s. It had a cheesy but memorable intro tune sung in the style of commericals from that time...

"Spiderman. Spiderman.
Does whatever a spider can.
Spins a web, any size.
Catches thieves- just like flies.
Look out! Here comes the Spiderman!
Is he strong? Listen, bud.
He's got radioactive blood.
Can he swing, from a thread?
Take a look overhead.
Hey, there! There goes the Spiderman!
In the chill of night, at the scene of a crime.
Like a streak of light, he arrives just in time!
Spiderman. Spiderman.
Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman.

Wealth and fame? He's ignored.
Action is his reward.
To him, life is a great big bang-up.
Wherever there's a hang-up,
you'll find the Spidermannnnnnnnnnn"

I remember that theme tune.
It used to always be stuck in my head. In fact I was disappointed when it wasnt used for the film.

yeah i remember the original spider man cartoon it was great at the time.
Unfortunately the Animation was of very poor quality even by the standards of the day and it has Aged very badly.

Bagpus on the otherhand is Timeless.
