Oh definitely.
I love Phineas and Ferb! It is awesome and funny and the music is kick ass. I also watch Ben 10 and it's sequel: Alien Force, Generator Rex, Chowder, Adventure Time sometimes and The Regular Show sometimes as well. And occasionally, I'll look at Spongebob SquarePants, Penguins of Madagascar... Back when they were on, I used to watch Rocket Power, Huntik, 16 and Stoked
And then there is anime. That's not even a question.

I'd be pissed that adults are seeming quite accepted for liking Harry Potter, which is a series of kid's books, yet other stuff pigeonholed as for kids is mocked if an adult or even teen enjoys them.
Even if the format is seen as kid's stuff when the content is adult, like some graphic novels, video games and cartoons.
Also, putting a moody cover on Harry Potter doesn't turn it into an adult novel. By all means enjoy it, but don't pretend you're any more mature than someone who likes Spongebob because of it

Well, I liked Toy Story, but that's because the franchise was essentially made for people my exact age. Seriously, I moved to my dorm, like, a month after the Toy Story kid did. Also, it's fucking Pixar. That's what they do.
I also liked the "Avatar" cartoon after my friends, who had seen it when they were kids, urged me to check it out, saying it had "adult themes" despite being technically for kids. I have to admit, they were right, it was quite good.

I'm 23 or 24. 23, I think. Anyway, I watch some anime, and don't feel bad about it. In terms of quality science-fiction, anime's pretty much the only venue open to me.
I don't think format matters. If something is animated or live-action... who cares? It's content that's important. I'd rather watch a good cartoon than a bad movie, and likewise, would rather watch a good movie than a bad cartoon.

I don't care what the form is as long as I find it entertaining. I am always on the lookout for new entertainment. Sturgeon's Second Law, "Ninety percent of everything is crap." If I did limit what form it is, I would have to look considerably harder for anything good.
Grouping everything animated as for kids is also a form of bigotry. Stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own.
There is also so much more you can do with animation than you can do with live action and to an extent CG.

Of course I do. Cartoons are awesome. I may legally be an adult, but show me where I signed off my right to have fun in any way I please. I embrace my inner child, because that's who I am.ReservoirAngel said:
Not everyone may gain enjoyment from cartoons, and that's entirely their preference, but any adult who bashes cartoons for being childish is just lying to themselves to make them seem more mature than those who love them. And I pity them for their egos.
Coyote and Roadrunner FTW!
Many people tell me I'm immature for it, but it really is my favorite cartoon.

Would I have this avatar if I didn't like cartoons? Okay, so maybe Disney movies don't count as cartoons in some people's eyes, but I still watch stuff like Kim Possible, Batman: The Animated Series, The Powerpuff Girls, and innumerable other things I used to watch when I was growing up (*coughPowerRangerscough*). Seriously, I'd be here all day if I listed all the things I'll still happily watch from my childhood.
I've got to say, I can't help but laugh at people who are all smug about looking down on others for liking something. That sort of condescending attitude is just hilarious to me. It's hard to take that kind of smarmy cynicism seriously when you know they like stuff that's considered just as geeky or weird by the outside world. =P

Heck yeah I watch cartoons. Always will And I'm 36.
All time favorite for me really has to go to a short running show that got screwed by the network.
All who remember SWAT Kats as the most awesome thing ever, stand fast! You're never alone!

yes I watch both cartoons and anime. Although I have learned to stay away from the cartoons I grew up on. You know the Gi joes/thundercats/transformers from back in the day. Cuz man they are terrible now. Or they were terrible then and I didn't know better.
Oh god... lol. I remember going back and watching Further Adventures of GI Joe (Pyramid of Darkness, started the weekly show), a year or so ago. I had to stop the video and laugh for 5 minutes at one point, after seeing someone fly an F-14 down low enough to scrape the wing across the body of a tank. Then be pulled up and flown away undamaged after cutting the tank in half(!).squid5580 said:
Again, I had to stop and laugh for 5 minutes before I could even think about starting it u9p again.
