Any children's cartoons that catch your interest?

[Doorknocker]

For me, I enjoy Steven universe and gravity falls. If you enjoy watching cartoons, what kinds do you like watching and for what reason (of you have any particular one).

Avatar the Last Airbender has no right to be as good as it does. The plot and all the issues it touches with awesome animation and character growth in a really interesting universe just shouldn't work for a kids show. But it does.

I LOVE cartoons. As mentioned, it doesn't get much better than Avatar the Last Airbender but there are SO many great shows. Of course I'm partial to amazing boy characters but any well written animated show is enjoyable to watch. A short list:
Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars: Rebels, Kipo and the age of Wonderbeasts, Summer Camp Island, Hilda, Primal, Chowder, Gravity Falls, The Misadventures of Flapjack, Samurai Jack.

I'll add the original Teen Titans and Ben 10 to this list.

I just gotta say, considering the fan base of the shows, I don't think Gravity Falls or Steven Universe were written specifically with kids in mind. That said, I always love Gravity Falls.

Can't go past 'Bluey' myself. Very wholesome and really just captures so well the way that young children act and behave.

I tried watching Gravity Falls once, but I was thrown off by Louise Belcher's voice coming out of Mabel Pines' face.
It's not even like it's "sort of" close; it's the exact same voice. Kristin Schaal does nothing different with her voice.

I couldn't take it so I switched the channel.  Too bad because I have heard many good things about that show.  It's made by cats from the golden age of The Simpsons, so it has pedigree.

I've said it to you before but it's a fantastic show, and you should give it a second chance. Plus it's really short, so there's no excuse. I can record all of Mabel's takes with my deep testosterone voice if you like (because of course I have a very masculine voice, and am totally not insecure about it).

It's already been mentioned but out of all of the current 'popular' children's cartoons, Bluey is the one that I could probably watch with kids for a long time. It's really adorable, wholesome, and educational.

Rick and Morty and Teen Titans. I like Robot Chicken but that isn't really a cartoon. Ladybug from Ladybug and Cat Noir is...uhhhh....kinda hot. Also I really like Harvey Birdman. Oh and Big Mouth, but that is another that is totally not for kids.

[on the rocks]

Most of those are shows for us "adult children"
I wonder what it's like to watch Robot Chicken without having been a kid in the 80s/90s?  It must involve a lot of Googling.

I see they spun off a show for Bird Girl from Harvey Birdman.  Caught an episode or two last time I was somewhere with cable.  That first decade of Adult Swim was off the hook.
I loved the Venture Brothers.

Back to kids shows, though.
I saw a few eps of Amphibia this summer.  That was much more compelling than I expected.  Seems like the show Disney has to pick up the torch from Gravity Falls for that tweenage, but also older, demographic withe a serialized story that has a lot of magic and shit going on.

[Midamoto]

I must add that in my opinion big Mouth is not a cartoon for adults, but totally qualifies as something made for teenagers. It goes into topics that are taboo for children's cartoons, but I think that's the whole point of it.

As for me I'm a man-child who enjoys both children's cartoons, and adult cartoons. As long as it's either entertaining, beautiful, or intelligent.

I know a lot of the characters mostly, but they tend to make a lot of references to when the toys were new or the shows were new and I don't know what a lot of those mean.

I hated Bird Girl. It was boring and just didn't make any sense. Even Birdman like I watched Harvey Birdman Attorney General and the entire thing made no sense to me at all. I had no idea what was going on and felt like I had missed a bunch of important stuff that I needed to watch it. It was nothing like Attorney At Law.

[on the rocks]

Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law was such a great use of (sometimes) obscure Hanna-Barbara characters from decades past.  And that's where those references really land if one grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons on antenna television (before they'd switch to golf or some other boring-ass shit around 10 or 11 AM.)  Back before we had entire channels devoted to cartoons, that's what we had to watch.  And the networks would replay whatever old animation they owned.  When you're like 8, you don't know or care that you're watching a cartoon from like 1965 even though it's 1990.

Jump ahead a decade and a half and now you're a college kid looking for something to watch so you can ignore that report you're supposed to be working on and here comes this show that rewards you for wasting your Saturday mornings all those years ago.  "Oh my god, I do remember seeing a cartoon about Apache Chief or Snagglepuss or whatever and here they are being sued.  Ha, ha!"

Shout out to Gary Cole for some solid voice work as the titular winged lawyer.

I've liked Spongebob since it came on TV, though I haven't seen much after the movie. I was also really into Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, and Samurai Jack.
