"You watch that?! It's a kiddy cartoon!"

[Andara Bledin]

My mom was always a huge fan of the Spiderman cartoon.

In my parents' house, Saturday is major chore day. We couldn't turn the TV on until we'd finished. So, we got up early and got all the chores done, so Mom and I could watch X-Men. Neither of us liked missing X-Men. After that, we'd flip channels to whatever other cartoon we felt like watching.

Most people think any cartoon is for kids. I watched the Looney Tunes when I was a kid and they were funny but they were much funnier as an adult because I started to get more of the jokes.

When I was a kid, I used to watch them after school. Every time my dad came home early from work, he'd sit and watch them with me and he would laugh harder and more often than I did.

that...right there.....

Also you realize how racist they were But it was a part of life back then. They don't do that kind of stuff now.

The only so-called "children's" movies I've enjoyed aren't really for kids specifically, but rather for general audiences. Like Toy Story.

Cars isn't any more just for kids than Toy Story. Or Tangled, Bolt, The Emperor's New Groove, etc, etc, etc. I love all of those.

Things like Shrek, are aimed slightly higher, but not by much. It got a PG for language, specifically.

There are a few "kiddie" shows that I like to watch, largely for the nostalgia factor (like Disney's Robin Hood). But I do enjoy watching most of the offerings from Pixar, and I really loved Tangled. I have also been known to watch an episode or two of ICarly. Fiance LOVES Spongebob, and I can't stand it. It's just so...silly and gross and weird.

Now, of course, we watch a lot of animated shows that are NOT intended for kids. Things like Family Guy, Futurama, American Dad, Archer, Bob's Burgers, etc.

I <3 MLP:FiM so hard! Can't wait for next season.

Yay, another pony fan! Who's your favourite? Mine, obviously, is Rainbow Dash.

Heh; tell those people to watch Watership Down, Felidae and Plague Dogs and then get back to you; they may change their opinion sharpish. Also; none of those cartoon movies are aimed at kids, and none of them are anime.

I have to admit that I'm a little baffled at the number of adults that enjoy children's shows and movies.

I have one friend who always wants me to come over and watch a movie with her. When I get there, she throws in Cars or something. I chuckle maybe once or twice throughout the movie, but for the most part I'm bored silly. I don't understand what possible intellectual stimulation can be found in these children's shows for someone with an adult brain.

Welcome to my world.


I watch wrestling.


If I ever mention it in passing to someone, I get the following:
"How can you watch that?"
"It's so fake!"
"You know it's not real, right?"
"Aren't you a little old for that?"


It's gotten to the point that I've started telling people I watch porn.

[DrFaroohk]

I don't go out of my way to watch them, but I actually enjoy most of the kids shows and movies that we frequently have on in the house. It's a nice break when I just can't play with blocks, color and sing the alphabet anymore.

If you're an adult, in your own home, you can watch whatever you want.

Damn straight.

I don't care what age group a show is aimed at, if I enjoy it I'll watch it. I still watch a lot of cartoons and other kid-type shows and am quite happy doing so. Especially if the shows are ones from my own childhood. They really bring back memories.

Heh, I'm currently visiting my dad right now and went shopping with my step-mom today. As we passed a toy store I noticed a large fraggle sitting on one of the shelves so I decided to have a look through the store to see if they had any other nostalgia-causing toys in stock. As I was wandering the aisles the theme from Fraggle Rock started playing over the loudspeaker and I sang along with the whole song before I remembered I was in public.

I'll state what i said at another message board-

[Gibbo]

also I have all 8 seasons of dangermouse on DVD and the first season of count duckula-God save the awesome BBC cartoons!

I'd still happily spend all day watching them now, even though I'm 34!
