Lucky Luke. He was my hero because he was cool. He was my primary school crush.
You could only read it when I was young, now they made Lucky Luke movies which I love to watch when the kids watch it. My favorite character now is Rataplan. He's the funniest.

Hmm, that is a difficult question. Some of my favorites were Digimon, Darkwing Duck, Monster Rancher, and the Land Before Time series. I have not seen anything of in a quite a while.

That being said, though I suppose it might be a bit of a point of shame at my age, I still like animation and cartoons. The nostalgic factor is probably one reason, but, truth be told, I am struggling with life right now. I think a simple, light-hearted film or cartoon can prove appealing during hard times. Honestly, I would like to see at least some of them again.

Since I was a kid I wanted to be a Christian Cartoonist someday so I loved to watch cartoons in the past. BUT watching them again today I am very disappointed in the hidden things I see that I didn't see when I was a kid. Very sexual jokes, evil occult symbolism, ect. Even shows for kids today . Very disappointing to me :(

Lol I just do, even when the kids are not at home sometimes. Hahaha I wonder what the neighbours think. Who cares?
I remember when I was very depressed I watched Louis de Funes all day long.

How can you pick just one? I loved cartoons. As a kid my favorite was either G.I.JOE or My Little Pony obviously for very different reasons. As a teen it was a toss up between Courage the Cowardly Dog, Dexter's Laboratory, and Johnny Bravo. I haven't watched G.I. Joe or My Little Pony since I was a child. I have watched an episode of the ones from when I was a teen and they can still make me laugh or at least smile.

The Legend of Zelda show that was a part of the Super Mario Bros Super Show. Always made sure I watched it every Friday. I also liked Captain N: Game Master. Yes, I was a video game nerd back in the day. I have watched both since then (thanks Netflix) and I still enjoy them for their cheesy antics and my kids liked the Zelda cartoons too.

I also liked Duck Tails, Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers, Bugs Bunny, Animaniacs and a few others, but if I missed those I didn't really get disappointed about it.

I guess I'll add since I only included one (Jetsons)but these ones were favourites and tbh, ones I'd gladly watch now still...
Duck Tales, Goof Troop, Inspector Gadget, Smurfs, Bobby's World, TMNT, Tale Spin, Tiny Toons, Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Garfield, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers.

IMO nothing can top cartoons from the 80's or early 90's.

Strictly cartoons, no stop motion or puppets?

Dino Riders.

They rode dinosaurs into battle, with lasers.

How can that not be the best cartoon of my childhood ever?

Growing up as a kid we had 3 channels. ABC, NBC and CBS and that was it (ok PBS also but nobody watched it).

The only time cartoons were on was after school and Saturday morning.

We watched the Flintstones after school and Little Rascals (which was not a cartoon).

On Saturday morning there was Speed Buggy, Hong Kong Phooey and the Bugs Bunny Road Runner hour.

Years later when we got cable I continued to watch Bugs Bunny as it is the best cartoon ever made, it is not even a debate unless you are going up against Tom and Jerry but Bugs Bunny is still better.

Garfield. I was a huge fan and obssessed.
I liked the humour of it. Also, I really like cats. They are just cleverer than dogs.

But ive grown out of it. I think the early ones were best. It was a comic strip before it was a cartoon.

I havent revisited it, but the movies were a disappointment. Im not into CGI, and the humour has kinda dumbed down. I think it reached its peak in the mid eighties. After about 1989 it kinda lost steam.

Oh yes there were some cartoons, Flintstones and Calimero and Scooby Doo and Remi from Sans Famille.

My sister had two cats, one thin one, white with a bit of black spots and a fat red one she named Odie and Garfield.
