What Are Your Alltime Favorite Cartoons

Oliver Postgate's stuff was always very gentle Aliens like the Clangers and Ivor the Engine were very easygoing, but Noggin the Nog was something else.

Inspired by Norse legend it had dragons storytelling in ancient halls and a villain called Nogbad the Bad.

It was like Beowulf for kids.

Another popular piece of stop go animation was Captain Pugwash. He was a pirate whose crew may or may not have had rude names like Master Bates and Seaman Staines. I can't remember if they did or if it was just a story heard later on in life.

He also did Sir Prancelot an ineffective Knight whose evil nemesis was Count Otto. He even used him for Eeny Meanie.

Eeny Meany miney mo
Catch Count Otto by the toe,
If hehollars don't let him go,
Eeny meany miney Oh no.

I think meany miney didn't turn out the way he wanted.

Nobody could match the Warner Brothers cartoons, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Yosemite Sam, et al. That is until the modern Simpsons, family guy, Bob's Burgers, et al.

I rarely watch cartoons. Remember that as a child I loved to watch Pokemon. My favorite hero is Pikachu.

Speed Buggy Theme Song

Futurama

Just the Bugs Bunny cartoons were so enjoyable.

This was a bit weird.

My favourite would be

Wacky Races

It's gotta be SpongeBob, Dexter's Laboratory, Ed Edd n Eddy.Those cartoons basically carried my childhood.

I’d have to put Dragon Ball Z as the favorite one. I know some people separate cartoons and anime, which is fair, but I’d still count it for a question like this. As a kid, it had everything I wanted in an animated show.

I can't believe I've missed this thread until now!

When I was a kid, it was a lot of Bugs Bunny and Kukla, Fran, and Ollie (who we called Kooky, Freak, and Olive). We also watched a lot of Rocky & Bullwinkle.

Then Scooby Doo came along and there were suddenly girls in the cartoons! Someone who kinda, sorta looked like me. Although I've always been a lot more like Velma than Daphne.

I mainly stopped watching until the 90s or so, when I had basic cable and it was something to watch. Got into Nickelodeon for a while there, i.e. Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Tiny Toons, Rugrats, Animaniacs, Rocko's Modern Life, Gargoyles (starring a lot of the cast of TNG!), The Critic, The Tick, Dr, Katz Professional Therapist, Freakazoid, Dexter's Lab, Hey Arnold, Angry Beavers, Johnny Bravo, Ed Edd & Eddy, Powerpuff Girls, Earthworm Jim, Courage the Cowardly Dog. Space Ghost might be in this decade.

And, of course, Beavis & Butthead.

In the following decade came As Told by Ginger, the Brak Show, Fairly Oddparents, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, and of course Jimmy Neutron.

I can take or leave the Simpsons and Sponge Bob. Family Guy is okay in small doses.

I'm going back many years, I remember Deputy Dawg, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Warner Bros cartoons, 15 minutes of very young Muppets that was buzzed in from D.C., Walt Disney cartoons, probably Mighty Mouse for my younger brother, I think the whole family watched The FlintStones. I especially loved the cartoons at the local theaters, like the Road Runner.

Mighty Mouse Playhouse..the theme: “mr. trouble wont come around when he hears this mighty sound. Here I come to save the day! That that means that Mighty Mouse is on the way”

When I was around twelve, we got our first TV. At twelve noon, during summer vacation, Mom would turn on an hour long cartoon show. Many of them were Ub Iwerks films: Willie Whopper and Flip the Frog. But there was a nice mix of others. Mama Don't Allow, which featured the voice of Smiley Burnette, about the children in the old woman's shoe playing after bed time. The Sunshine Makers, about little people bottling sunshine and using it to convert the baddies into happy beings. I miss that show, and I'm surprised nobody else ever mentions it.

I grew up watching all types of cartoons and animation. Some were first run cartoons/animation. And some were reruns that were originally made before my time. I used the term animation and cartoons interchangeably. To, me they are different terms for the same thing. Now, anime, on the other hand are also cartoons. It's just a Japanese influenced or Japanese produced cartoons. When I was watching cartoons in my youth all throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, some of that was anime. Back then, I didn't know the term anime. Years later, I discovered the term anime and realized that some of the cartoons I grew up on were anime and I wasn't aware that they were anime back then. Some anime I grew up watching included: Marine Boy, Battle of the Planets, Star Blazers, Speed Racers, and Voltron. These cartoons were all produced somewhere between late 1960s all the way to the early 1980s.

I liked Marine Boy when I was little.

Battle of the Planets was a bit later on and I don't remember the others.

I do remember writing in my school book how much I liked Marine Boy, only I spelled it Mreen Boy.

It was so long ago. I think the time of day I watched both Marine Boy and Battle of the Planets was after school
along with Starblazers, Voltron, and Transformers. It's hard to remember which years I watched each particular one.
I'm sure there were some overlapping.
