What was your favorite cartoon growing up?

[sartinjacqueline05]

Mine was Ed Edd n Eddy. I was obsessed with that show when I was little and I still enjoyed it today. My favorite character in that show used to be Ed but nowadays it's Rolf.

[Jenny-Toons]

Tied between Ed, Edd, n Eddy and Courage the Cowardly Dog. Still watch the old episodes. You just can't beat them.

[unknown_user]

I was all for soviet ones

Leopold the Cat

Well, Just You Wait!

The Bremen Town Musicians (film)

[azzy-m]

I'd say it's a tie between Ben 10 (and maybe Ultimate Alien and Alien Force too why not lol, mostly the original though), Bakugan, and Powerpuff Girls (original, obviously). Those were the ones I remember the most, lmao.

[Jophiel]

Fairly Odd Parents, old PPG, and Doreamon~

[sobigdrasil]

So cool to see that :'D cause in 90 in russia we had a lot of soviet cartoons and not so much foreign once ^^'
Disney cartoons we can see only on Saturday from 8 till 9 am :')

[Iris-Grimoire]

Xiaolin Showdown, Dave the Barbarian and most of the CN and Fox Kids/Jetix classics for sure. We had a lot of reruns in our local channels too so 2000-2009 was basically the same year by the end.

[Kelheor]

Soviet Winnie the Pooh (it's savage), Tom and Jerry (I had it on videotapes) and Sailor Moon (I first watched it in '97 and immediately became the fan for life)
Our Winnie and Piglet

[gempompadour]

I loved Beyblade, Biker Mice from Mars and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

[AbelDraws]

Cardcaptor Sakura, pichy pichy peach, doremi, Pokemon... Any anime that was aired on tv at the time tbh x'D

[MoonlitHues]

HMMMM...
I can't pick favourites, but here are a few I remember well, for various reasons

---

Nominated for... Most emotional impact!
And for potentially traumatising a few kids growing up...

Summary

Flukta frå dyreskogen! ("The Animals of Farthing Wood")

For me it has to be in Norwegian, and Nynorsk specifically. I still feel a strong mix of emotions when I hear the intro. My heart...

---

Nominated for... Most MAGICAL TRANSFORMATIONS.
And for appealing to my "ooo shiny" magpie soul.

Summary

Tenko and the Guardians of the Magic!

I even used those tricks they taught in each episode, eternally COUNFOUNDING my friends with my MAGICAL power. I still know (and use) some of them.

---

Nominated for... moral in every episode.
And for some of the most mood setting music ever.

Summary

Pokémon!

Charmander being left on that rock still breaks my heart...
And Pikachu's farewell will still make me cry, not gonna lie...
Pikachu not evolving to beat Raichu...
Etc, etc, etc...

---

Nominated forrr... inspiring too much fanfic reading?
And subsequently showing me how anything that doesn't exist in canon, most likely exists in fanon somewhere... Man. I dived way too deep.

Summary

Digimon!

Not even going to go into detail.
People who have gone deep into fandoms before... they know, haha.
I need to rewatch the first season for nostalgia.
Listening to the intro theme was a blessed mistake.

[Freemints30]

As a kid the grim adventures of Billy and Mandy was my jam, along with code name kid's next door. Secret satudays was also my favorite thou that show stop airing on weekends(the only time I could watch tv) and aired during weekdays, so I had to really try really hard to atleast watch season 2 final.

[sartinjacqueline05]

@Iris-Grimoire I remember I went through a crazy Xiaolin Showdown obsession a few years ago. I ended up watching all of the episodes on youtube and eventually got the whole series on dvd.

[Ariaz]

Well, I loved most cartoons than were out early 2000s. The Secret Saturdays and Danny Phantom were my pride and joy. Then there's Princess Tutu and Fruits Basket that started my love for anime : D.

[phoenixrenaissance]

I have to agree with Ed, Edd and Eddy as well as Courage the Cowardly Dog.
It's funny though, cause I have a distinct memory of hating E,E&E the first time I watched it. XD And god forbid I have to watch the Corage pilot episode again.

[Rhonder]

Oof it's hard to lock down one or two, but several faves have already been mentioned:

Codename: Kids Next Door, Ed, Edd, & Eddy, Xiaolin Showdown, Digimon (season 2 is my fave but they're all great!)

Another that absolutely needs mention on my end though is Code Lyoko, that was absolutely my JAM in middle school! Even went back to rewatch a large chunk of it in college haha

[phoenixrenaissance]

Oh no, I totally forgot to add ReBoot. That was definitely one I had to catch every episode of and I've def binged it several times in my adult life.

[Kiweevil]

Without a doubt, Pokémon. Though I was never allowed to watch it because my dad was a stupid racist who would ground me over "that stupid chinese sh​t". I'm very glad to be moved out now.

As a kid, all the cartoons I really had access to were Angry Beavers, Garfield and Friends (both of which my dad had illegally downloaded the entire series on the computer for me to sit and watch when he was too busy to be a parent) Family Guy, American Dad, Futurama, Drawn Together, and South Park. Because those were the only other cartoons ever on in the house

[Kann]

I always liked the ones who got cancelled quickly. </3

I watched a lot of cartoons as a kid but first that came to my mind wa The Life and Times of Juniper Lee. I also remember enjoying Ed, Edd 'n Eddy, Powerpuff girls and other CN classics.

Oh and Pokemon when it first started airing all over the world. I was so into Pokemon that I made up over 400 "new ones" not knowing a thing about how types and evolution works. xD

[Cavechan]

So many. Probably easier to say what I didn't like.

I think my number one favorite though was Angry Beavers! I loved that show and its quirkiness.
