In honor of FAF bieng cartoons i thought I'd start this off. I know its early but here goes and why?

maybe use your favorite as an avatar for description.

just realy interested in something i haven't seen or maybe forgot.

I remember waking up early as hell about 6:00 every mornin to go to high school and in between the commercials of the cartoons they would show this short cartoon about 5 minutes long called

<-----BATFINK

thats where i learned about him.
the cartoon wsn't that bad but they had a rascist stereotype of asians and i don't remember his name but it was bad now that i think about it.

the cartoons were about 4 minutes long and i know it was made in the 50's and 60's but i liked it anyway

and they kept me going everyday

<----- My role model.

Because he's smart, funny, and looks good in a dress. Just like Eddie Izzard.

Do you know what time it is???

Narff! I miss these guys!

<----

ah, you gotta remember these two. their grotesque humor and odd images just made you wonder how they were allowed to air.

darn, i did it again!

My favourite cartoon has to be the Dilbert comic strip, which I get daily. I can even recognize some of my co-workers playing roles there...

'It's time for Animaniacs; 'cause they're crazy to the max. You'll laugh 'til you collapse....' (I'll have that running through my head for the rest of the day!)

Also a fan of Looney toons (but who isn't?)

speaking of which do you remember when spielberg created

<---------FREAKAZOID!

the computer geek who transform into a superhero it was around the same time as animaniacs. Freakazoid was hilarious!!!!

THE VENTURE BROTHERS (tv series)
Starting out as a spoof of Johnny Quest style adventure sci-fi, right down to the retro-60's design, VB's complex characters and dark, witty plotting, surprisingly deep yet at the same time satirizing pop culture, make it best animated show on TV.

FACE LIKE A FROG (short)
Just about the weirdest thing you'll ever see. I can't explain it, it's inexplicable.

DARKNESS LIGHT DARKNESS (short)
Jan Svankmajer is the modern master of creepy stop motion (and has been ripped off countless times by music videos) and this was the first thing of his I saw.

THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (movie)
Combines my two great loves, stop motion and the music of Danny Elfman . . . basically, it's a feature-length Oingo Boingo video.

GARGOYLES (tv series)
What a terrific idea - at night, stone gargoyles come to life and fight crime. The continuing plot with soap opera twists and links to mythology and Shakespeare, made a good idea a classic. I would schedule my college classes so as not to interfere with this show. Also BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES. Those were good times.

VISION OF ESCAFLOWNE (tv series)
The anime for people who don't like anime. Escaflowne takes all the usual anime cliches - girl falls into another universe and develops magic powers, giant robots, catgirls, families with dark secrets, genderbending - and make it new and exciting. It was so good that I managed to watch all 26 episodes, subtitled on VHS.

THE LAST UNICORN (movie)
A slightly trippy take on fairytales, and holds up surprisingly well for its age. Just skip the love song sequence, Mia Farrow could not sing her way out of a paper bag.

Cartoon as in animated? Cause my favorite comic is Calvin and Hobbes, hands down. Don't know if it qualifies for this thread, though.

I watched it the way women watch soap operas!!

Hmmm.. he does look kinda familar, but I don't think I've ever seen it

Darkness Light Darkness:

Don't let the Czech scare you, the film itself is dialog-free ;)

Enjoy!

EEk the cat.

Rocko's modern life.

Pinky and the Brain.
I watched these with my boys as they grew. I found them to be like alternative music...different and cool! I'm an animation freak in real life.

Wonder Twin Powers - Activate!


I loved playing this with my cousin when I was a kid. I always activated first so got the cool things. She was always the ice cube.

Spiderman: The Animated Series

I used to watch it everyday after school when I was a kid. Spiderman is my favorite superhero! Can't wait for Spiderman 3 this weekend!
