Favourite cartoon?

Trollheart · 11-08-2012, 08:16 PM

I'm not talking about the Simpsons or Futurama or South Park or Family Guy, or any other "animated series". I mean the cartoons we watched as kids: the Looney Tunes, Hanna Barbera, Yogi Bear type things. Hell, even the weird Polish or Czech cartoons they used to put on during afternoons on Irish TV, with the fateful words "Well, we're running a little ahead so here's a cartoon" and we'd all cross our fingers for Bugs Bunny or Porky Pig but instead get some incomprehensible drivel about a badly-drawn pencil chasing a magnet or something. Man they were strange!

My own favourites I would narrow down to
Top Cat (YAY!) --- think this was known as Boss Cat in the USA
Pink Panther (A sterling example of how a cartoon with no words AT ALL could be fantastic)
Road Runner (Meep meep!)
Daffy Duck in anything
Yosemite Sam ("When ah says whoa mule, ah MEEEANNS WHOA!")

Others I'll probably think of later.

Care to share your memories of childhood cartoons? Or maybe you still watch them...?

Nope, he was Top Cat here too. I used to like him a lot when I was little.

I used to also love Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings (talk about fucking weird):

All of those were totally bitchen. I'd add Felix the cat.

On a non-cartoon related subject I also dug Davey and Goliath. Don't hate. LOL

From the Looney Tunes my favorite was the rooster. We called him Sofronije, here in Serbia. What the hell was his original name, in English? I can't remember.

I loved this Hungarian cartoon, Gustav. But only when I got a little older I understood how great it really was

Notice the subtle (or not so) proletariat propaganda.

Also, the Italian La Linea was really popular here. Genius

Pink Panther was also my favorite and many more.

I'm almost certain you're referring to Foghorn Leghorn. Great character indeed.

Yes, that's him. Foghorn Leghorn! No wonder I didn't remember it.
Anyway, the dubbing was so great, all our best actors did it. And thanks to nostalgia, I rarely watch these cartoons in original English, even though now I can. Otherwise I hate dubbing, and luckily, only cartoons were dubbed here.
