Good news everyone!

Thundercats

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 7 points 7 months ago

The old Tom & Jerry Cartoons. Even my kids are disappointed when they start watching Tom & Jerry and then notice that it's the new stuff. Same with Looney Tunes.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Batman, the animated series. Sometimes I'd get home in time to watch it and I was always really excited when I realized that it was on. From my younger years then it's definitely Thundercats. Thundercats. Thundercats! HOOOO!!!

I miss Gargoyles. I loved having Diana Sirtis and Jonathan Frakes back together again.

Courage still haunts my nightmares to this day. Excellent show.

Old Warner cartoons, notably road runner.

World Premiere toons on cartoon network.

Just end nineties cartoon network, that was the best.

[-] Brewchin@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Road Runner, Tom & Jerry, Wacky Races... I'll still watch them if I stumble upon them.

Meep meep beats Acme Inc every time.

The Power Puff Girls

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 7 months ago

I still regularly think about the old Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon. The more anime one with an overarching storyline, not the episodic Looney Tunes kinda one (though I did also like that one for the comedy). I haven't watched it in years. I'm not sure how to find it, either. Did it have a subtitle or something? It was the one with Sally Acorn, Bunny Rabbot, and Boomer. I only remember those characters in that specific show so hopefully that narrows it down.

I'm not sure how I've managed to have never heard of this before but now I feel like I have to watch every episode lol

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

All 52 episodes are definitely worth it, you might say it's an anime hybrid between Spongebob, TMNT, and MMPR that predates them all.

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Found it streaming on Peacock! I'm enjoying it on my retro entertainment center now lol

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

That's amazing. Makes me want to be there.

Ulysses 31 was a space travel cartoon with Greek theming.

It was a International-Japanese production and had one of the most kick-ass theme songs ever.

[-] Wiz@midwest.social 3 points 7 months ago

If you are GenX, you might remember the cartoon between the cartoons.

Schoolhouse Rock was catchy and educational.

Harvey Birdman (and also, when he became an attorney at law).

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 months ago

As a kid, Ghostbusters and inspector gadget were my jam. I had the toys, they were so cool.

As a teen, I loved Freakazoid and Animaniacs.

As a young adult, Dexter's lab and Johnny Bravo.

[-] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 3 points 7 months ago

Biker Mice from Mars, I loved that show as a kid, gave me a lifelong appreciation for Root Beer

[-] eightpix@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I have nostalgia for my late-teens early 20s cartoon consumption. I was still watching Batman:TAS and the 90s Spider-Man series. There were flashes of high-intensity (if not well told) brilliance from the 90s Real Adventures of Jonny Quest series. I have to admit, the CGI they used was not as well executed as Reboot. Darkwing Duck, Peter Pan and the Pirates, and Gargoyles were shows what I looked back on fondly.

Daria, Clone High, and Ren and Stimpy all made an impact on me as a young adult. Daria, for its sardonic, anti-establishment stance. Clone High for its mockery of sitcoms and rom-coms and teen angst. Ren and Stimpy for pushing everything past its limit.

In the end, though, it was Samurai Jack and 90s X-Men that stood head and shoulders above them all. X-Men because it was what I collected and knew the best. Samurai Jack because it was cinematic, well- paced, and offered me something that no other TV show, movie, cartoon series, or comic book did or could: "... [a] fool [who] seeks to return to the past to undo the future that is Aku!"

Teen Titans, everything just clicks with that show

[-] Bruncvik@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

There may be dozens of us who still remember Captain Future. I used to get in trouble in school for doodling his space ship in my workbooks.

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Lately I've been rewatching the old Alf animated series from the late 80s. It was a lot weirder than the live action show and it took place on Alf's home planet! There was almost no trace of it anywhere until recently it popped up on one of those free streaming channels! I was starting to think I'd just dreamed it lol

Franklin

I don't know how obsessed I was as a kid, but I had a Franklin domino set and one of the PC edutainment games that I absolutely loved a lot. Don't recall much else about how much I watched it, though. It's a series I got re-obsessed with a couple years ago.

I recently got the "Hey, It's Franklin!" CD I didn't know existed back then and I absolutely LOVE it despite the majority of the songs being pretty childish. Absolutely love track 2 "What I Do In The Morning", alongside track 5 and 6 "Hello" and "Friends". Only song on the CD I don't like is track 15 "Rainforest Song".

Some day I am going to look up the domino set and buy it for nostalgia and for my love of the show.

[-] Capitao_Duarte@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 7 months ago

There are many, Grim adventures of Billy and Mandy, Ben 10 classic, Camp Lazlo and lots of other city era cartoons from Cartoon Network. But the number one that hits me with nostalgia, so much so that I don't re-watch much to not tint it, is Foster's Mansion for Imaginary Friends
