What was your favorite cartoon or animation while growing up, past or present?

I've always liked Looney Tunes w/ bugs bunny & daffy duck.

Hey Arnold, Rugrats, Angry Beavers, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Kenan & Kel.

I grew up in the 90's, so obviously 90's cartoons are my favorite :). I'm super happy that they're playing them again on TV :D

When I was growing up, my favorite was all of the full length Disney cartoons.

The first animated weekly that I remember when my parents bought our first black and white TV and we got two fuzzy channels was Fearless Fosdick (not sure about spelling). It was a claymation animation about a detective. Anybody old enough to remember this one?

Now, with the grandkids, SpongeBob of course.

I second you on Rocky and Bullwinkle. I also liked Roadrunner and Underdog. But I would look for Rocky and Bullwinkle.

But I was the kind of kid who would turn on the TV and let it run. I was usually playing with something else at the same time, like melting modeling clay on the heat register. I'm sure Mom and Dad loved that one.

I liked Pluto.. Still do..

Also Tweety Bird..

The others we watched growing up were mostly Afrikaans and most of you wouldn't recognise them.. "Liewe Heksi", "Dawie kabouter", "Wielie Walie", "Haas Daas se nuus kas", and "Bennie Boekwurm", just to name a few..

What's important is not what happens to us, but how we react to what happens to us..
