Here are a few of my favorite cartoons:

You can watch the opening titles to Johnny Quest here. I love this show for the 1960's visual asthetic and for the strange ix of creepiness, adventure, and humor.


"One Froggy Evening" is probably my favorite Warner Bros. cartoon. I'm not sure why. I guess it's because it reminds me of my Uncle Denny. He died a few years ago. We'd watch this on VHS everytime we visited his house. Also, the guy in the cartoon with the mustache is very funny. I know just how he feels. You think you got something great, but nobody can see it, and it ends up getting you in trouble. That happens to me a lot.

  3. My favorite cartoon of all time is the classic "Tom and Jerry". I love the fact that there is no dialogue. The way the two main characters communicate makes it all the better. It makes you pay attention that much more. The conflict between Tom and Jerry makes the show hilarious. The clever little mouse, Jerry, and the territorial cat, Tom, are always bumping heads. I watched "Tom and Jerry" as a little kid and I still do when I have the time.

  8. I always loved watching Rugrats when I was growing up because it made me really happy. The movie was amazing too, one of my favorites. It just shows us how we are when we are little. It shows us just how crazy and adventurous we really were.

  14. My favorite cartoon growing up was probably Wil E. Cayote and RoadRunner, it was always entertaining seeing the crazy contraptions that Cayote would make and see him fail over and over again. I'd always root for RoadRunner but in the same sense I always wanted to see Cayote prevail.
