Foo - What is your favorite cartoon of all-time?

Ok...what is it? What was your favorite cartoon of all-time as a kid?

I'm not talking about modern day cartoons that are are really for adults (South Park, Simpsons, King of the Hill, etc...), but the cartoons you *HAD* to see when you were a kid (either after school or on Saturday mornings). :D

My vote: The Battle of the Planets (aka G-Force)....it was the best!!


What's yours?

Angry Beavers.

cowboy bebop

Foghorn Leghorn! I love the way he would tell the baby chicken hawk to get the chicken....and when he (heh heh) got shot (heheheeeee) in the face and his beak just spun around and around and around. When it slowed to a stop it stopped crooked and it was HILARIOUS! :lol: :roflmao: And he says (as he straightens out his beak): "My son, Isay Isay that is NOT the way to do it!" hahahahahahhhhhhaaaaaa

My favorite Foghorn Leghorn trick was when he would mark out how long the dog's rope was then sneak up while the dog was sleeping and beat the heckfire out of him, then run just to the other side of the white line. :D

Popeye (The Sailor Man)!

- Wil

That's a good one, too! *sigh* Thanks for the memories...

Tom & Jerry and Speed Racer

robotech! This is a japanamation series from over twenty years ago. I remember a couple of summers that I watched it religiously. I recently watched parts of the macross saga again and it still rocks!

Tenesee Tuxedo - a swaggering penguin that spoke like the Secret Agent from "Get Smart" and hung out with a dense Walrus named "Chumly". I think Chumly was the first character to ever utter the word "duh...".

Speed Racer!
Ren & Stimpy (orignal season)

Speed Racer....he had the cool car and he got the girl. I never could figure out why he spent so much time with that damn monkey!

Mighty Mouse

Family Guy, Simpons and South Park. Theres this new one that is out on tv called Drawn Together and its hilarious.

Rocky and Bullwinkle Show

Cecil (the seasick sea serpent), Popeye, Clutch Cargo and Space Angel, PRINCESS KNIGHT, Huckleberry Hound, Bugs Bunny, all those Merrie Melodies, Max The 2000 Year Old Mouse, Top Cat, The Hair Bears, the animated Star Trek, those Flintstones, old-old animated Superman (anyone remember the one with that weird little machine that stuck to iron/steel and melted the bridge? Creeped me out!) Aqua-Man, Thor, Luno, all that weird cool amateur stuff on Sesame Street, Atom Ant, and I'm sure I can think of plenty more!

Family Guy, Simpons and South Park. Theres this new one that is out on tv called Drawn Together and its hilarious.
Somebody can't read the rules. :p



A few others I really loved:
Popeye, Jayce and the Argonaughts, Secret Squirrel (from Bananna Splits), The Legion of Justice (esp. the Wonder Twins), Hong Kong Phooey, The Laugh-o-lympics (esp. Snagglepuss).

Great cartoon!

The reason he sounded like the agent from "Get Smart" is because it was the same guy who played the agen on "Get Smart" that did the voice for Tenesse Tuxedo. Don Adams. :)

The Far Side, Dilbert and a Finnish strip: Viivi & Wagner. In no particular order.

Lost Cities of Gold

Somebody can't read the rules. :p

The rules are bs if you're younger. I DID grow up watching the Simpsons and that was and still is my favorite cartoon, but I'm going to throw in Voltron and Thundercats for hooha's.

not necessarily favorites but more of a trip down memory lane: Tom Terrific and His Wonder Dog Manfred from Captain Kangaroo, Felix the Cat, The King and Odie, and Betty Boop.

Mine are all over the place, but mostly on NBC He-Man, Voltron, Captain N "The Gamemaster", Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling, Camp Candy,

I'll probably add more later

It's not like you younger ones ONLY had the "adult" cartoons to watch. Just because they were on when you were younger, doesn't mean they were "your kid cartoons".

Like I said...the ones you rushed home from school to watch or got up Sat. morning to watch. You younger kids probably saw them any time you wanted with cable nowadays, with cartoon network and such.

Somebody can't read the rules. :p Guilty. The cartoons / comic strips in my previous reply are my current favs. When I was a kid, it was Asterix & Obelix and Donald Duck.

Did you get Sally Starr & Pixanne in DE as well?

Peabody's Improbable History

Rocky and Bullwinkle!

As a child, Bugs Bunny cartoons.....especially the ones with Gossemer or Marvin the Martian.

My favourite full-length cartoon has to be:

"Les Triplettes de Belleville"

- Wil

I probably watched more of the Hanna-Barbera toons than any other:

http://www.arkivperu.com/arkiv_hannaybarbera.jpg

Favorite as a kid: Roadrunner.
Favorite as an adult: The Simpsons
Favorite newspaper cartoon as a kid: Peanuts
Favorite newspaper cartoon as an adult: Calvin & Hobbes

I think that covers it all!

Peabody's Improbable History
OH yeah....that was a great one.....Mr. Peabody and Sherman. :D


Which reminds me...I forgot another that was my favorite cartoon as an early adolescent.

There's no need to fear....Underdog is here!
http://www.canmag.com/images/front/lap/underdog.jpg


What he ever saw in Sweet Polly Purebred, I'll never understand. She was a whiny, annoying little twit who always got herself in harm's way.

Darn. It's been so long since I was a kid, I've forgotten all the good ones! How could I forget Underdog? :o

Funny how there really isn't Saturday Morning Cartoons anymore.

Thundar the Barbarian (and his cohort Chewbacca...I mean Ooklah the Mok).

Funny how there really isn't Saturday Morning Cartoons anymore.
Isn't there? I've been out of the traditional cartoon watching age for quite some time now......Saturday morning cartoons was something I thought was an American staple that would never go away. If Sat. morning cartoons are gone, it kind of feels like a little bit of America was taken away. ;)

Of course Speed Racer is #1

I still watch Looney Tunes every night on Boomerang
Foghorn and Henry Hawk and the Dog, Gossamer and Bugs
And of Course when Elmer shoots off Daffys beaks "Hey laughin' boy, no more buwetts.

Thunderbirds & Stingray(love the marionettes)
Cool McCool, Thor, and the cartoons from Banana Splits- three musketeers, arabian nights and live action Danger Island "U Oh Chungo"!

Johnny Quest - the episode with the electricity monster gave me nightmares.

The Herculoids - Gotta get me a laser dragon. Oh, and a giant rock ape.

Since I lived in a big TV market, we had anime 'way back in the 60's.

I remember Simba the White Lion (which I dind't like) and Gigantor (in B&W). The first battlemech on TV. Is that where "Iron Giant" came from?

There was another one I liked...Incredible Four, Fanstastic 5? It was in B&W too. My youngest son inherited my Japanimation-loving gene!

I liked the old Beatles cartoon, partly because my dad hated it.

Of course, I can't give away my most favoritest animation character of all, since so many of my computer passwords are based on his adventures.

Oh, what the heck...He was once a little green slab of clay...come on, you know the words!

Guilty. The cartoons / comic strips in my previous reply are my current favs. When I was a kid, it was Asterix & Obelix and Donald Duck.

OH! Was Asterix and Obelix ever animated? I used to read the comic (in German) in HS and it even made the Sunday funnies (in English).

TV old is Rocky and Bullwinkle
TV new is Drawn Together, the first amimated reality show (?)

Newspaper is a tie Far Side and Dilbert

Davy and Goliath, in a freaky sort of way. Goliath's dopey voice saying, "I don't know, Day-vee" was worth the whole morality play thing. And I would stay up on Saturday nights to catch Mr. Bill on SNL. Sort of a claymation theme, I guess. I love Nick Park, too.

After school, Bugs was #1, along with other Chuck Jones, I. & Friz Freleng cartoons. Carl Stalling, the composer for the Warner Bros. cartoons, was amazing. He used to crank out full orchestral scores in really short time periods. The Carl Stalling Project CD is great. And all time favorite toons (that I can remember) are the one with the Monster ("Monsters lead such innnnn-teresting lives") and Duck Dodgers in the 24th 1/2 Century.

I don't know whether to be ashamed or embarassed, but much of my opera knowledge is due to Bugs Bunny cartoons. Who can forget Barber of Seville? Or "Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit!" They also did some (loosely) historical cartoons too like Daffy Duck as the Scarlet Pumpernickel. I've since bought both sets of the looney tunes DVD's that have come out.

There's quite a few mentioned already. I used to like Heckle and Jeckle and Woody Woodpecker.

Another great one...I forgot all about Woody Woodpecker....he was great too!! :)

cow and chicken

Scooby Doo, Speed Buggy, Speed Racer, Plastic Man, Bugs, The Wacky Races (MUTLEY!!!), Captain Caveman, Hong Kong Phooey, and The Groovie Ghoulies.

Edit: Some guys want to build a hotrod. I would wante to build "Speed Buggy".

Classic:
Rocky and Bullwinkle -- "Again?"
Pink Panther -- "..."

College:
Eek the Cat -- "Really?"
Pinky and the Brain -- "I think so, Brain. But this time, you put the pantaloons on the chimpanzee."

Current:
Drawn Together -- no quotes fit for a family-friendly board.

Classic: Pink Panther -- "..."

Another great one I forgot......The Pink Panther. I also loved the little side cartoons in The Pink Panther, like "The Tijuana Toads".
