    Samurai Pizza Cats. I fondly remember it because my grandma would have tapes of it in her house so whenever I visited grandma’s, chances are this show would be playing at some point. I loved watching the launch sequence for some reason and the script is even more zany than I remember LMAO

        Me too! 😂 My favourite episode is the one with the dragon, it’s the most memorable one to me for some reason! Which is yours?

          It’s so hard to choose. I think I’d choose the episode where Polly and Lucille became singers. I remember at one point reflecting fondly on how they got actual musical talent for the episode, which a TV show like that doesn’t have to do. Saban really gave the show their dedication.

    I was really fond of Gargoyles.

    Xanatos was an incredibly well written villain now that I think about it again.

    In my case this would something from the '60s and '70s in the UK then - and I suppose that stop-motion in The Clangers or Bagpuss etc wouldn’t really count, so probably between the gentle, character-based storytelling of Ivor the Engine (and that is a cut-out animation - but I’d think still qualifies) and the surrealism, punning and energy of Roobarb (and Custard).

    Impossible to choose from the absolute bangers of the 80s and 90s.

    Heathcliffe, Garfield and Friends, GI Joe, Transformers, Jem, Spider-Man, Tiny Toon Adventures, Tom n Jerry, etc.

    “Space Adventure Cobra” and “Captain Future.” I rarely see these cartoons from my time being mentioned, unlike the Smurfs or He-Man for instance.

    Thundaar, the Barbarian. Absolutely wild sci-fi fantasy. Conan meets Adventure Time.

    Close contenders are BTAS, Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, He-Man, and TMNT.

      wow. hits a lot of things I was thinking about. Its so hard to say because there is a big thing at different periods. I think if the transformers had come out earlier it might be the one but I was watching it when I was a bit to old to watch cartoons (which is still the case).

    There are lots of short animated czechoslovakian cartoons for one of the first programs dedicated for children. It is called Večerníček and there are loads of good cartoons.

    I can’t pick one but I was bit surprised that some of them aired more worldwide. For example Pat & Mat it isn’t cartoon (stop motion) but I linked it because it is silent.

    Franklin. I’m, at least not in the presence of my family, willing to admit I absolutely love the fairly calm antics of that turtle and his friends and family.

    The Angry Beavers and Avatar The Last Airbender; even saw it when it premiered in Germany.

    It’s a shame Nickelodeon switched to only producing iCarly-style sitcoms shortly afterwards… always hated those.
