Gonzo from Muppet Babies.

I liked that show.

We're all doin' it, chum. That's what we do. We do it. Do what? Therein lies the mystery!

I thought the mystery was if Arthur was a bunny or not.

I don't miss any :p
Cartoons suck anyway. Anime rules! :D

Animes are cartoons, and only whiney fanboys and fangirls make such a distinction.

Quoted for truth! :cool:

I miss the rose colored glasses that I wore when I watched D&D the first time around. A little part of my soul was violently pulled out into the street, slit end from end, and hung from a street lamp by its own intestines when I saw that again a year or so ago.
Fucking Nostalgia, why hath thou forsaken me!?

sorry, but i can't picks just one- hong kong phuey, all of the jetsons, yogi bear(ahhhh, that was truly a multi-talented bear, smarter than the average bear, one might go as far to say. a baseball player, psychic and lovable bear.), the teenage mutant ninja turtles, the smurfs, sherman and mr peabody, rocky and bullwinkle, tails and sonic, brak, goku and last, but certainly not least alf

I also miss the dark, early 90s batman cartoons before the WB took a nice big load in Batmans mouth

Like what?

Futurama generally, but Dr Zoidberg specifically.

Are you saying the entire nation of Japan consists of whiney fanboys and fangirls. If I ever go there, I'll let them know you said that about them.

dont believe in a difference between anime and cartoons anymore since most american cartoons have japanese influences or animators

for example the new GI JOE anime????

Real american hero huh.

Snarf still needs to be put ina burlap sack and beaten with large sticks.

Coincidentally, one of the pictures was aiming at just that, but they weren't beating him with sticks...

even though im totally against amine...I was a kid and didnt really know what anime was, cartoons were cartoons...but i loved speed racer. :D haha, and if anyones a family guy fan and seen the little clip with speed racer..you'd understand the big smile.

Also, anime..but i didnt know, GOD! my favortie cartoons were anime, im gonna go clense myself of the gayness..but i loved the cartoon inspector gadget..not freaking disney version.

Wow-thats dating yourself, huh?

How about Heckle and Jekyll? I liked them.

Popeye too- the old black and white ones where he muttered under his breath.

And Ren & Stimpy. What happened to them?

They could all be subjects in Sin's violence thread.

Queen Slug For A Butt! Princess Whats-her-Face! Evil The Cat! Earthworm Jim!!

Umm, her name is Queen Pulsating, Bloated, Festering, Sweaty, Pus-filled, Malformed, Slug-For-A-Butt.

Marsupilami(sp)

The Raccoons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Raccoons). Okay, so it was hopelessly idealistic, but that's what makes the memories so nostalgic.

Umm, her name is Queen Pulsating, Bloated, Festering, Sweaty, Pus-filled, Malformed, Slug-For-A-Butt.
Of course.. I mean.. it's been such a long time..

Clearly the greatest cartoon character to have left us is hong kong phooey.

Of course.. I mean.. it's been such a long time..

With bittorrent, it is never a long time ago.

I forgot about the Raccoons. That was a good show.

I also wanted to mention...

Captain Planet and The Planeteers
Duck Tales
Smoggies

Heh... good point :D They'll definitely tear up his ignorant ass :sniper:

Number one super guy!

man, so many choices, teh furreh actually doesn't bother me, not since I read "the smoke-off." I guess after you find out that the mind behind "where the sidewalk ends" once wrote for Playboy. you really don't mind people having their fantasies.
where was I? oh, not exactly a cartoon charachter, but the dragon from Eureeka's castle.

I've always thought Hong Kong Phooey was quite strange. On the surface it's a blatent metaphor for the failings of irrational authority but beneath that there's an obvious, almost propaganda-like, subtle condoning of servience which is at odds with the main message.

Lucky Luke

I miss the sweedish chef cinna mini buns commericials.

Slappy Squirrel
(and her victims)

Mighty Mouse

I miss Doug, and the old American-style animated Sonic (not this crappy Sonic X) - whatever happened to that darker of the two Sonic cartoons? It was amazing!

i also miss ren and stimpy...... ahh, good times:(

Bucky O'Hare.

I remember the name and a bit of the theme but I cant remember what it's all about.

Bucky O'Hare.

I remember the name and a bit of the theme but I cant remember what it's all about.

Their ship was... the Righteous indignation? I think it was an environmental sci-fi cartoon, right?

Freakazoid, and Pinky and the Brain

I grew up with: GI Joe, Voltron, Masters of The Universe and Transformers.

But I think the cartoon that I miss the most; which I define as I would watch right now if I could find it in it's unaltered form) is Tom And Jerry.

My favorite was The Two Mouseketeers when the little mouse would chop off the end of Tom's tail and as Tom leapt ten feet strait up yelling, he'd go, "Touche' Pussycat!"

I loved that. :)

I'm devastated not to have been the first to mention "Hong Kong Phooey", so I'll offer up "G-Force" as a pathetic attempt to be original.

Damn...

You trumped me you bastard!

"Five teenagers trained to fly like birds. G-Force, Defenders of Space!!!"

Most of the cartoons I like have been listed and now I'm saddened. I'm going to call my cable company and bitch until I get Boomerang....

oh also forgot the centurions.

Isn't differentiating cartoons and anime like differentiating movies and Hollywood films?



I miss How My Body Works (I think was the title). It has had a lasting effect on me because (even though I know better) I still think the body is full of little people.

Well Calvin and Hobbes was a cartoon, in the papers though, but i certainly miss calvin. If we are talking tv then pinky and the brain was pretty cool. ANd all the people saying the tick, was that show cancelled? I liked the wrestler kid who wore the gas mask and the camo pants. Private Ryan or somethign was his name (help there plz)

Isn't differentiating cartoons and anime like differentiating movies and Hollywood films?


In Japan, Animation is one of the media standards used frequently. Thus, the stories as well as scenes can, and frequently are, targeted for adults. so yes, "cartoons" like Heavy Metal can frequently be found in Japan, with better storyline tho.

as for them being the same, I know alot of Parents who took their kids to see "Princess Mononoke" because they thought cartoons and Anime were the same...

After the first fight scene... they were outta there sooo fast... :rolleyes:

and I still remember the parents who said that their daughter (less then 10 yrs old) could rent and watch Devilman...

Just because it's a cartoon doesn't mean it has to be targeted towards kids, JuNii. Anime and cartoons are the same thing. Care to venture a guess as to what anime means?

You were talking about Hockey in a Thread about Thongs?!?!


Oooookaaaaayyyy...


and to answer CthulhuFhtagn,
Anime is actually the short form of JAPANIMATION, which was, of course, JAPANESE ANIMATION.

so Anime came from Japanese Animation.

Now, How many American Animated Works do you hear referred to as ANIME?

I'm a Leafer for Life.
My friend is a die hard senators fan

Now, How many American Animated Works do you hear referred to as ANIME?
Quite a few, actually. Usually by people from Japan.

Optimus Prime...

Rocko's moder life.

Samari Pizza Cats

sorry, were you responding to me or to Letila?
You. I was half-asleep when I posted that. I'll edit it.

I miss Swat Kats, Tail Spin (for the crazy french fox pirate), GI Joe ( I watched for Cobra. Most little girls watched it and wanted to be Lady Jay. I wanted to be the Baroness!), Ghostbusters (the one based on the movies. Not that strange one with the giant monkey) and Reboot. ( Great stories. Good sense of humor. Why did I watch it? WONDERFUL VILLIANS)

Calvin and Hobbs. And though it isn't a character per se, I do so miss The Far Side.

Quite a few, actually. Usually by people from Japan.true, but the difference is, It's in Japan. As I said, in Japan, Animation is a standard that is accepted by adults as a viable media form. You can and do often see adults, sans children, going to see animated films with subjects and storylines that are not for children. Here in America, however, (and I cannot speak for any other countries.) think in a similar form like you do, Anime is cartoons, thus they end up thinking that it's ok for children to watch it reguardless of rating.

it's because of that, most Anime that was brought over, was censored for content, and images. Any and all remotely Religious symbolism was removed from Yu Gi Oh. any conversation about bust sizes were removed from Sailor Moon. (and Sailor Uranus and Neptune suddenly became 'Cousins') and bikinis were added on to bath scenes in Tenchi Muyo, and most Americans equate Japanese Anime with only the Hentai Stuff.

On a technical term, Cartoons and Anime are similar because they are both Animated. But in the mental imagry in Americans, they are as different as Nascar and WWE Wrestling.

Calvin and Hobbs. And though it isn't a character per se, I do so miss The Far Side.
Hello fellow comic fan.

Calvin and Hobbs. And though it isn't a character per se, I do so miss The Far Side.
and I also...

I too miss the old Bloom County.

Clearly the greatest cartoon character to have left us is hong kong phooey.

he is among the greatest. others would be, the hillbilly bears, that blue dog... huckleberry something..., basically everyone that used to be on cartoon network about 10 years ago, notably the flintstones, jetsons, smurfs and snorks. rocky and bullwinkle was awesome. original rugrats was good. doug was awesome. angry beavers, ren and stimpy, ROCKO'S MODERN LIFE.

when i watch cartoons this day it makes me sad. so much trash on tv these days.

Calvin and Hobbs. And though it isn't a character per se, I do so miss The Far Side.

i loved the far side, they were just too funny

hello people, this is not a debate. how cool would it be to have bugs bunny back on TV messing with a loony hitler?

answer: very!

Are you saying the entire nation of Japan consists of whiney fanboys and fangirls. If I ever go there, I'll let them know you said that about them.

Not this again. I though we cleared it up for you a while back. Anime is Japanese for cartoon. Just the other day I asked some of my students what their favorite anime was. Answers included both Japanese and non-Japanese.

Isn't differentiating cartoons and anime like differentiating movies and Hollywood films?

Exactly so.

And JuNii, the origins of Anime are disputed, but are generally considered to have come from the English "animation", not Japanimation

anime Look up anime at Dictionary.com
c.1985, Japanese for "animation," a term that seems to have arisen in the 1970s, apparently based on the Eng. word. Manga (q.v.) is Japanese for "comic book, graphic novel," but anime largely are based on manga and until 1970s, anime were known as manga eiga or "TV manga." The two terms are somewhat confused in Eng.

Some claim it's rooted in the French.

I want Rei Ayanami!:fluffle:
Oh, goodness, yes.
