As a child, what were your favourite animated cartoons?

Question

Tell me something about them. These were mine (re-runs folks, I'm not THAT old):

The 'intellectually challenged' Baby Huey first appeared …in 1950.
Many animated shorts featuring Huey had recurring themes. Most common among them was him trying to be just like any other kid his age. He would see his peers playing, and would immediately get excited. Whenever he tried to involve himself in the activities of his peers, themselves anthropomorphic ducklings, he often wrecked their efforts. As a result, they would drive him away through trickery (and into tears). A hungry fox would show up feigning friendship and setting traps along the way. At first Huey was blissfully unaware of the fox's true agenda. But as his peers watched the annoyed fox in action from a safe distance (and fearing for his safety just as they did their own), he came to realize the truth about his predator and dispose of him, usually by saying: "I think you're trying to kill me!", and would finish the fox.

The end of the cartoon showed Huey being embraced by his peers..

2. Foghorn Leghorn is a large, 'intellectually brilliant' anthropomorphic adult rooster with a strong Southern accent and a penchant for mischief. He first appeared in 1946.
Many of the gags involved Foghorn and a canine nemesis (informally known as the "Barnyard Dawg’… engaging in one-upmanship through a series of pranks. Most common among them was Leghorn's taking up a plank of wood, while ambling along humming "Camptown Races," (the only intelligible words being "Doo-DAH! Doo-DAH!") and, coming to the sleeping Dawg with his front half inside his doghouse, picking up his tail and rapidly whacking (almost always with eight strokes) his exposed rear end. The dog would give chase, usually with his leash still attached to his collar, until it was stretched taut and his barking was replaced by an anguished shriek, although in rare cases it's the dog that starts the series of

pranks and as such it is somewhat difficult to tell who started the feud.

Other recurring themes throughout the cartoons included the attempts of the diminutive Henery Hawk to catch and eat Foghorn, and the rooster's efforts to woo the widowed hen Miss Prissy (often by babysitting her bookish son, Egghead Jr).

What do you guys think...did cartoons use to be more PERVERSE in 'the good old days'?

Ooops - I almost forgot to ask:
IS FEMINISM TO BLAME?

I neglected to add that Baby Huey was gargantuan - and so was his diaper!

Answer 1

Answer 2

Pink Panther
Scooby Doo(Like the idea of a talking dog)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(old version)

Talespin
Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers

Answer 3

growing in Europe, I watched a lot of Nu Pogodi - its a series about a wolf and a rabbit and how the wolf always tries to eat the rabbit but the rabbit always escapes...the cartoon is very old and they prob dont show it anymore.

i also watched a lot of Cow and Chicken, Dexters Laboratory, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and 2 Stupid Dogs

and who can forget.... I R BABOON! hahahaha

Answer 4

My favorite was and I guess still is Road Runner. (oddly, I see both coyotes and road runner near me.) They were predictable, but wonderful watch. Of course we always wondered why, with all the money he had to spend at Acme, why not call Chicken Delight (a very old chicken home delivery company). Beep beep.

Answer 6

Jonny Quest, Hadji, Race, Dr. Quest and Bandit had my great devotion. It was sci-fi, sort of like X-Files with kids, sunshine and better directing.

Answer 7

as a child it was mugli, but as an adult it is definetly alice in wonderland as all the characters are so self centred with alice herself being so unlike the evercompasionate characters of cinderella etc.the mad hatters party is the best with them celebrating the nonsensical 'un-birthdays' with half cups of teas(literally vertical half cups) which have everything including spoons and clocks, but somehow they draw the line at mustard ,which is so funny.the more you watch it the more meaning you can see in it

Answer 8

All by the "Pink Panther" I collected a lot of material!
