I hate Little Mermaid I love Dumbo
I also will tune in to some Anime. If there's one thing Japan is good at, its cuteness and appeal. :) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9c/Cosmo.png I often try to draw that style.
What other forums do you regulary visit? And what happens to be your username there? I am a member of... GAC Forums(Discuss golden age cartoons) Toon Zone(discuss animation in general) KH-Insider(I don;t visit that place much anymore, though. I like this place much better.) In all of these forums, I use kaseykockroach as my username.
I'm not sure I fully understand your question. But I mean catoons like the following: Tom & Jerry Looney Tunes Tex Avery at MGM(Droopy,Screwy Squirrel. Red Hot Riding Hood,etc.) Woody Woodpecker Don't get me wrong,though. There are some modern cartoons today I enjoy. But I don't find myself enjoying them on the same level of the classics.
I think some people here are confused of what I'm talking about. When I'm referring to classic cartoons, I am referring the Golden Age of Animation. The 1940's to be excact. Not early Pokemon or Rugrats. The 40's were the golden age because people like Tex Avery,Bob Clampett, Chuck Jones were at thier prime. They did'nt have rude jokes. Just 7 minutes of wild takes, crazy chases, etc. Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Woody Woodpecker are some of the greatest cartoon characters ever created. They had more personality then any other character we see today. Those classic cartoons constantly reminded us that we are infact watching a cartoon, not live action. They did things we could only dream of doing. Today, we have cartoons that are trying to compete with live action on its own terms. Cartoons are too talky, flatly and poorly drawn, and nothing but rude jokes and pop culture refrences. Cartoons back then had pop culture refrences also, but they did'nt COMPLETELY rely on them for attempts at humor, unlike most of today's cartoons. But not all hope is lost. Someday another talented genius shall rise like another Tex Avery. Its only a matter of who that person is, and when it shall come. Then, people should realize what cartoons are truly about. Anyways, I guess I went a little far on that speech. :/

At GAC forums and Toon Zone, I basicially use the same username over and over again. That way it is easy to remember.
I agree with everything you're saying except that cartoons are for kids. Cartoons were never intended for children during the golden age. They were simply made for anyone. When people like Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, or Chuck Jones were making cartoons, they went with what they thought was funny, not children. Anyways, I think you are right about everything else.
I'm not really sure this topic belongs here, but other then the "Anything Else" section, I can't think of any other place to discuss this. Remember getting up on Saturday morning, and turning on the TV and what do you usually find? Tom & Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tex Avery cartoons,etc. Those were some of the best cartoons ever made. They had so much life. So much personality. So much heart and soul. Now, when we get up on Saturday, what do we find? Rude jokes, constant pop culture references, and way too much dialouge. What happend? What went wrong? I can't find myself sitting through any kind of animation they make today. Some people right now might be thinking the only reason I love the classics is only becuase that was the stuff I simply grew up on, and I enjoy them for pure nostalgia reasons. This is not true at all. There are some cartoons I grew up on as a kid, and they just don't hold up. Some examples include the Pluto cartoons, Chip and Dale, and most Mickey Mouse oldies. But those are the only exceptions. All the classic Tex Avery, Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, Woody Woodpecker still crack me up. And now I appreciatte them even more as important films, not just kids' fodder. So, to put it plain and simple, what happend to cartoons? I really hope this topic does'nt cause much controversy.
