Childhood Cartoons


























Growing up in the 80's and 90's era, I have to say that my all time favorite cartoon is Inspector Gadget. I also really liked watching G.I. Joe, ThunderCats, The Jetsons (reruns), The Flintstones (reruns) Heman and Dennis The Menace. These cartoons that I've mentioned, some were movies, some were TV shows, and some are remakes now.  I also grew up watching the following reruns: Bugs Bunny & Friends, Popeye, Woody Wood Pecker & Friends, Tennessee Tuxedo, Underdog, Mighty Mouse, Rocky & Bullwinkle, etc. There are a list of a lot of cartoons that were retro that were made out of TV shows, movies, and remakes. There were a lot of cartoons who had a hero or heroes and villain or villain's in them. As a child, we always rooted for the hero because the villain ultimate goal was to take over and take control of the city. Cartoons have a fictional narrative that appear to be real but it's not because it's only fiction. Today's fiction is the opposite of that. For example, when we read fictional stories, the stories that we read are real and possibly already have happened but it is written as fiction for the readers to wonder what happens next. It tells that narrative that we want to meet and get to know the characters in the story or stories.

Cartoons and movies can be thought of as real but we call those as based on a true story. A lot of times when we are watching movies we watch a lot of documentaries. These documentaries for example of people who are suicidal, drug addicts, food binging, etc., are based on a true story relating to the character or character's playing those particular role or roles in the movie or movies. Not to confuse you readers and fellow bloggers, cartoons can appear based on a true story if the narrator is dealing with issues that the character or characters in the cartoon in is displaying like depression, hunger, anorexia, etc. You are encouraged parents or grandparents if you have children or grandchildren that is ages 6-12 to watch the cartoons with your children or grandchildren and monitor the cartoons that they are watching.
