I'm in my late teens. I still watch classics such as Popeye , Bugs Bunny , Daffy Duck. And Scooby Doo , Jetsons , Flintstones , Tom and Jerry , Sylvester and Tweety , Pink Panther , Rock and Bullwinkle, Yogi Bear.

The newer cartoons just SUCK ! I hate anything that's computer animated. I don't know why. Old cartoons just have a certain feel to them. They're innocent. The newer cartoons always have some kind of toilet humor in them.

I prefer old cartoons newer ones. Shows such as South Park are crap. I do laugh every time I watch The Simpsons. I hate Family Guy and King of the hill.
If the show "Top Cat" was made today...

The cartoon would have Rap music in it. The show's theme song will be Rap. All of the cats will wear baggy pants and try to talk like they're black.

Seriously. Disney has gone from Mickey Mouse to Hannah Montana. Mickey Mouse has been reduced to a half hour spot on weekday mornings for little kids. Pretty soon he will be completely erased from Disney. They never even air anything even CLOSE to the old cartoons. At least Cartoon Network and CW11 are actually keeping Tom & Jerry alive, but Disney just goes with whatever will make them money.

This doesn't just go for Disney. Nickelodeon, too. I knew they'd be going downhill the second Rugrats turned into "Rugrats: All Grown Up". I used to love Rugrats.

Then of course the Animaniacs... They've been taken off TV for a while. Kids have never even HEARD of Popeye... And Bugs Bunny hasn't had an encounter with Elmer Fudd for what seems like forever.

What the hell is going on? Is this what Disney would have wanted to happen to his creation?
Joe B, you cannot outgrow good cartoons. A good cartoon is appealing to everybody, not just 4 year olds.

Yes, they have their own channels on cable, but they have gotten rid of them on their primary networks which are actually known. The primary networks do not even advertise the secondary ones, as if they are embarrassed by them.
I am not saying Disney was a good man. I am saying that he, along with other people, were visionaries. They were pioneers in the world of cartoons, and nobody has cleared the bar they had set. And as for Nickelodeon having the best cartoons in history... Only three modern Nickelodeon cartoons come to anybody's mind. Spongebob, Fairly Odd Parents, and Jimmy Neutron.

i used to watch them as a kid. i had two 6 hour vhs tapes of the all kinds of cartoons. i still have the vhss but they dont work anymore. so i actually found a dvd at walmart that is a 4 disc set. its awesome. it has a lot of cartoons i used to watch as a kid and still do now. im looking for the title of one those old cartoons. its a dog who is walking down the road trying to hitch a ride. he rolls up his dog sleeve does this funny hitch hiking thumb thing. its so awesome and i dont know the name of it. i know this is not a lot of info, but maybe by chance someone knows what im talking about. im watching the dvd now. it brings me back when i was a kid, and i love it. things used to be so pure then in a sense.

Why are classic Looney Tunes, Popeye, Pink Panther, etc. better for adults & new ones like The Simpsons, Spongebob, etc. better for kids?-I LOVE old cartoons & I'm 38 yrs old.(whoever get's the best answer wins 10 points)
As of my answer; Old cartoons not only "RULE", but they have "MORE VIOLENCE"!!!-& I love it!!!
Yes, I LOVE the old Tom & Jerry!-MORE Violence!!!

I would love to purchase old cartoons from Gumby, X-Men, Captain N, Macron 1, Transformers, Betty Boop, Popeye, Felix, Sailor Moon, Digimon, Scooby-Doo, etc. And also old shows like Golden Girls, I Love Lucy, Johnny Carson Show, Andy Griffith Show, etc. Does anyone know where to purchase new sets of these shows?

im looking for old cartoons. i dont mean popeye and tom and jerry. like courage the cowardly dog, braceface, rugrats, you know the shows that havent had a new episode in like 5 yrs. thx for all the answers :]]]

Does anyone else remember these classic Christmas (or similar) cartoons?

Santa's Surprise
Christmas comes but once a year
Somewhere in Dreamland

and similar cartoons, like Popeye, Betty Boop, Little Lulu?

I think they were made in the 40's or 50's originally, but I grew up watching them because we had some old tapes. I still pull them out every year. You can't beat the quality of the old cartoons... they have something wonderful that the more modern ones just don't have!
on the contrary, cajohnson667, I'm only 19!

And its awesome that I'm not the only one who loves 'Somewhere in Dreamland'. Its just a good wholesome cartoon and Warner Bros were not racist... *grumbles at stupid politically correct paranoia*

Does anybody remeber the old cartoons of Donald Duck where he had three "nephwes", Huey, duey, and luey? I remeber he had Daisy his girl friend babysit sometimes, but they mostley stayed with him, where did they come from? Where is this "brother" or "sister" The nephwes came from? or where they Daisey's brother or sisters? Also, if Goofey is a dog, (wich I am guessing he is), how come Pluto (mickey mouses dog) can't stand and talk either? Also do you remeber the cartoon Poeype? He had a baby named "sweet pea" whose was that? Every one watched him, and bluto, still tryed to get Olive oil, and poeypye still tryed to date her too, (what a slut) and the baby was seen bounceing back and forth, weird...

Ah yes, remember all those old cartoons? popeye, road runner, tom and jerry, elmer fudd, deputy dog, dudley doright, tweety, under dog, el kabong, top cat, pink panther, foghorn leghorn, the golpher indians, wiley coyote, and all the rest that I failed to mention. Personality wise, who are you and why?

like felix the cat
popeye
and old cartoons like that beer and cigars were so common

Is there any value in watching old cartoons like Popeye, Little Lulu or Little Audrey or Casper? Or are they just a waste of time?

I LOVE the older cartoons like classic Tom & Jerry/Looney Tunes/Popeye/Pink Panther/etc. & the new cartoons don't attract my attention at all.
Just like "Shockwav" says-"THE NEW ONE'S SUCK" & the main reason old cartoons rule is "HEAVY VIOLENCE!!!" & they're more funny!-the newer one's are too G rated.

Are copies of old cartoons available anywhere?
Izzy, Tom & Jerry was a cat & mouse!
Go Blitz. Someof these I have never heard of but I will check them out!
Dave, will do. Planning a party with Name this cartoon!

I have noticed that in the old cartoons and even the new ones that characters turn the pages of books the wrong way. I figured this was due to drawing the animation cells backwards or what have you. Wouldn't they have caught onto that problem by now?

Or is there another reason? Thanks in advance.
