Poll: Adults and cartoons

[Eclectic Dreck]

I will willingly watch a good cartoon. As examples, I recently watched the following cartoons and enjoyed them:

Up
Wall-E
Futurama Season 5

 

[bulldogftw]

It depends on what cartoon it is

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!

go season 2 intro
The people that canceled this show should be banned from the entertainment industry forever.

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.

I agree some series do not stand the test of time. The original transformers is so filled with plot holes, appearing and disappearing transformers, template errors etc. G.I. Joe animation was always over the top(makes it funny that that is the most heard complaint about the live action movie).
Some series do look as good as they did the first time i watched them(like jayce and the wheeled warriors, and my personal favorite The adventures of the galaxy rangers <3)

If you bought the dvd boxsets of that series (and i proudly own those) it contains a cute music video of the complete song from the intro.

Spoiler: My real fav and i already posted to much

Since you clicked on it, my all time favorite series is a more recent one it is called Exo squad. For the people that still might remember them the intro from season one.
I love this series (even today) and i hated it that the 3rd season got canceled. Season 2 ended in a real big clifhanger. It did wrap up the season 2 storyline but something much bigger threatened the earth in the last eps.

Yes, they should. Glad someone else remembers it so well

I'm 27 year old and I still like cartoon alot, I always catch the last South Park, Family Guy, American Dad, The Simpsons. I even liked the 12-ish episode of Season 2 of Futurama (those made in 2010)

 

[MassiveGeek]

I answer this on behalf of my boyfriend:

YES!!!

 

[michaelod]

I still watch cartoons, but only when I'm alone, I feel awkward watching them with others around me.

I generally enjoy the dark comedy that's in a lot of cartoons, or if they have an unusual art style or concept, one fairly recent cartoon that I found myself enjoying greatly was Flapjack.

Yes on all the versions i found on youtube
I normally check before posting but non of the s2 intro's worked (didn't check intro 1 since i love the guitar riff on season 2(great use of music on the whole series)).

The reason for canceling ... it was too violent , there is a script for the last eps of season 2 but it was never made(reminds me of the final eps of the dungeons and dragons animation that was also never made)

 

[Horus Lupercal]

I am 28 and I watch Phineas and Ferb among other cartoons.
As I always say You can not grow up before you find the child in you

 

[Vothriller]

Mainly [Adult Swim], family guy and south park BUT I still enjoy the old looney tunes/merry melodies stuff. Who doesn't?

 

[AdamRBi]

If it was written and drawn by passionate adults, then it's fine for adults to watch. Half of what I watch are cartoons, both old and new, I'm just a big fan of animation. Not just the adult animation ether. In my opinion unless it was written by or written for the lowest common denominator then an adult can enjoy it.

There's only two types of people who dislike all cartoons. Those who simply prefer Live-Action and those who think it's mature of them to dislike it.

 

[D Moness]

Since there is much love for Phineas and Ferb in this topic i wanted to look up the different intro's. Since most countries dub it(normally i dislike dubbing but it isn't that bad in this series(also really fun to see all the songs dubbed)).
Found a nice link someone took 10 different language intro's


For the people that wanna know the language are :
1.USA (English)
2.France
3.Russia
4.Holland
5.Germany
6.Spain
7.Bulgaria
8.Ukraine
9.Sweden
10.Italia

"Too Violent". Geez.

For the network that would later air Teen Titans and straight up do the Terror of Trigon arc in season 4, Swat Kats is 'too violent'? Wtf.

Yes, the stuff the SKs do totally beats time freezing, buildings being pulled into each other to squash someone, the legions of hell coming up, and everyone turning to stone.

Yep, two Kats shooting missiles at things is just so horrible, in comparison... ;p

Don't get me wrong either, I did like TT. But it's still part of why I consider 'too violent' arguments to be bs. If they'd given proper toy support, they almost certainly wouldn't have pulled it, because collectors would probably have jumped on them.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I'm 29 and I still watch cartoons. What few cartoons I consider worth watching that is.

 

[General Vagueness]

oh you meant new cartoons
in that case, not so much

 

[Arisato-kun]

I'm an animation major. I prefer many cartoons to other shows on TV.

 

[Wolfenbarg]

Many of the really good cartoons that last in public memory are written for all ages instead of just children. That's the Disney philosophy at least, and it seems to work really well for them.

 

[Small Waves]

I still love cartoons just as much now as I did when I was a child. I grew up watching The Simpsons, Ducktails, Futurama, Dexter's Laboratory, Arthur, Sonic (weekdays), and Recess. I still love them all because they were clever, have a few jokes I missed the first few times and am getting now, and have endearing characters that have chemistry with each other.

A while ago, I finally got around to watching a few series that I should have watched months, if not years ago, including Wakfu, Clone High, and Morel Orel. Late 2010 was very kind with Adventure Time and Regular, but also shocking in that after 25 years, we now have a good My Little Pony show.

I swear on my life, I am not trolling. There's a new My Little Pony series, and it's actually good. I'm not going to make a long winded post. Just watch the first four or five episodes on youtube (which are allowed up because Hasbro and The Hub are totally cool with that) and notice how there's actual animation, conflict, personality in the characters, and how it's the complete opposite of every other half-assed piece of shit program aimed at girls and accept that Craig McCracken's wife (Lauren Faust) is a powerful Sorceress who can turn shit into diamonds.

Certainly worked for Darkwing Duck.

*goes to look to see where the new comic of it is available*

 

[JezebelinHell]

OMG! I watch Phineas and Ferb, Power Puff Girls, Samurai Jack, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Johnny Bravo... I think that is all but probably not... It isn't a daily thing but hey they are more entertaining than most shows they bother to put on.

Oh nope, forgot one, I am watching Danger Mouse all the way through because I have only managed to see a few episodes when they ran them in the states. Hence the DM avatar at this point.
