What were your favorite cartoons, growing up?

Speed Racer. No question about it.

Ultraman doesn't count, since it was live action (and I'd sacrifice small animals on the hood of my car to get someone to release the LA series as a DVD box set), but it was the only other non-educational kids' show I watched religiously.

I love the theme song for Speed Racer--who doesn't?--but I don't think I ever watched the show when I was young.

Do you mean Saturday morning cartoons, or comic strips?

I remember watching the Smurfs, some Tarzan cartoon, Looney Toons. Not a toon, but I loved PeeWee's Playhouse and watched it well into my teens.

As for comic strips, I used to read whatever they printed in the paper-- all the funny ones anyway. The serialized comic soap-opera type strips did nothing for me. I've always thought Family Circle was hokey and un-funny. I recall liking "Shoe" and "Beetle Bailey" though I'm not sure why. As a grown up, I love "Life in Hell" and "Calvin and Hobbs."

I meant TV cartoons, but it's cool to hear about comic strips, too. :)

I loved Looney Toons, back in the day. Now, since they cut out all explicit references to violence, it's not quite as funny.

It was all about Roadrunner/Coyote.

[kali-ma.livejournal.com]

Bugs Bunny, especially the ones with the Coyote and Roadrunner
Scooby-Doo
Woody Woodpecker
Smurfs
I can't remeber the name but it was the one with Justice League of America - Wonder Woman, Superman, the Wonder Twins, etc.

[novapsyche.livejournal.com]

Superfriends! Right?

Wonder Twin power... activate!

[kali-ma.livejournal.com]

Shape of ... a Scorpion!
I think it was Wonderfriends, maybe...

[metaphorge.livejournal.com]

It was definitely Superfriends.

G.I. Joe (especially the movie)
Transformers
Thundercats
The Last Unicorn
The Hobbit

we watched most anything when we were kids, but it seems like some of my faves are more "boy-oriented", which fits my personality well. i wish i'd been more aware of things like Voltron and Macross.

[novapsyche.livejournal.com]

I never watched G.I. Joe. I did, however, watch Thundercats (though for some reason I have but the faintest recall of the show).

Bugs Bunny

Snoopy, Come Home

Superfriends!

Robin Hood (Disney version)

I also used to like the live-action shows Shazam! and Isis that were on Saturday afternoons. (This was in the '70's)

[metaphorge.livejournal.com]

The Rankin-Bass holiday specials reigned supreme, with Rudolph's Shiny New Year firmly on top.

[metaphorge.livejournal.com]

When I was very small, I loved Hanna-Barbara's Laff-o-lympics and the old Batman cartoon (not Batman, the Animated Series, that was much later).

Later on, it was all about some Smurfs, TransFormers and GI Joe, all of which I still love. The mythology from TransFormers has found its way into my magickal practice.

Im telling ya, Optimus Prime is the ideal Slain and Reborn King.

[metaphorge.livejournal.com]

Dude... he came back twice.

And that's only if you count in the same comtinuity. Talk about your never ending cycles of creation and destruction.

And let's not forget the Dark God Unicron, the Bringer of Chaos. And and and....

[blackwinterbyrd.livejournal.com]

smurfs, because they were on for 90 minutes.
thundercats, she-ra, he-man, tom and jerry. hmm. ralph bakshi? wizards.

[novapsyche.livejournal.com]

I loved the Smurfs when I was really young. He-Man, She-Ra came later.

Looney Toons, Woody Woodpecker, The Alvin Show (not Alvin & the Chipmunks), Rocky & Bullwinkle. Good stuff.

I always watched Charlie Brown on the PBS stations whenever I could. Because we lived so close to Canada, most of these would be in French.

Define "cartoon."
Like, on tv? Or in the newspapers? Or comic books?
When I was a kid, there were Mickey Mouse cartoons on tv, and some I've forgotten the name of.
In the papers there was the Katzenjammer Kids and Krazy Kat, and Little Orphan Annie (The name of the comic was some other name) and I think Charlie Brown came along later.

For comic books I liked most of them, favorites being Scrooge McDuck, Superman and Batman.

*thinks*
Smurfs
Looney toons/merry melodies, specifically bugs, roadrunner, yosemite sam.
Voltron. The lions one.
Superfriends
Transformers
Gobots (but they were on before I got home from school, so I missed the 2 seasons they were on, mostly)
the Zelda part of the mario/zelda show.
Captain N the game master
Gummy Bears!!
Duck tales
he man and she-ra weren't bad either.

I remember thinking that my friends who watched Gem and GI Joe were weird.

[novapsyche.livejournal.com]

Hey, I watched Gem! In fact, I think it was Jem. There's even a song that I liked so much that I recorded it from TV onto cassette. Sad, yes. The song? "Alone Again."

Alone again, with my guitar
Alone again, it will be my falling star
I see some friendly faces who smile at me and then
just like every other time
I'm alone again, alone again, all alone, again

Looking in the mirror, I don't like what I see
Another person I hoped I would be
Always seems like people are laughing at me

Alone again, with just my song
Alone again, which is right where I belong
What good is it to fight it, just accept it and Amen
just like every other time

I'm alone again, alone again, all alone, again
Alone again, alone again, all alone, again
Alone again

Obviously, it made an impression on me. I remember wishing their songs were longer than twenty seconds.

[novapsyche.livejournal.com]

Lame, very lame, I know.

[quiet-flame.livejournal.com]

I was all about My Little Ponies and Care Bears.

Also, I love that icon.

[kittenkissies.livejournal.com]

Wacky Races
Warner Brother ones.
There was this set of horribly animated cartoons on a local station...they were educational, and really funny, but no one seems to remember them.
