I'm 18 and I still love watching Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, Disney films, Pixar films, Hanna-Barbera cartoons and awesome DreamWorks films such as Shrek. You're not the boss of me society! To add to that, I want to become a cartoonist/animator when I'm older. I'm going to university this year in September.
Yes! This is why kids shouldn't dread that parents are being jerks to them while trying to drag them away from the TV! Speaking of which, I'm sure that's a possible reason why homework was invented regardless of how much some kids hate it! I should've hopped to it and put my heart and soul into it like an angel throughout all the homework experiences I had to go through!
I’ve cartoons my whole life,from a kid,to a teenager,to where I am now, and I still do I don’t wanna grow out of it,(hopefully not),I’ll like till the day I die lol
I know this is a ten year old video I've stumbled upon so I dunno if you guys changed your minds since then. If not, then let me digress. This whole "toy commercial bad" nonsense is super reductive, and also hypocritical. Funding for merchandising is and has always been a standard business for any cartoon. Hell even for any entertainment outside of cartoons like movies, video games, books, etc. The Universal monster franchise had figurines back when they were released around the 30s-40s so this is not something new or sinful.
"But everything that I've seen on what i consider toy comms (80s action cartoons) is NOT art and is soulless with lack luster content"- Every person who has not seen these shows aside from when they were a kid or seen a clip on UA-cam out of context to make an entire judgement.
Here’s the fun fact: Cartoons were NOT originally for kids back then. Back in the 50s and the 60s Tom and Jerry, Flintstones, Jetsons, Yogi Bear, etc. had adult content in them when it originally came on TV. It had Fred Flintstone smoking a Winston cigarette, not sure about others. Tom and Jerry were too violent back then. When these shows reran, it became family oriented. Cartoons since the 70s and 80s when cable tv started they are for everyone now no matter what age they are in.
I'm 31 and I still watch cartoons. I watched all the good 90s. And I love so much that's come out! Except when they play it way to much..(teen Titans go)
I'm 17... I still love watching cartoons. I remember someone said to me ANIME IS NOT CARTOONS and she said. YOU SUPPOSED TO LIKE ANIME MORE THEN CARTOONS. Me: I don't care I love cartoons c:!
My father told me yesterday that listening to cartoon songs many times is childish and well as getting a plushie. I don't believe his statement is factual in the slightest. As there are tons of teenager and adult fans of MLP: FIM and there are teens and adults who have a plushie of a pony from the show. I agree with you Donknot1999, you're never too old for cartoons as they are for everyone.
True, but not everyone is into cartoons. I, for one hand, still enjoy cartoons, but doesn't want too much of cartoons in my life. So Ben must've ranted about certain cartoons, networks, and of course, the 90s, because he must've been begging mercilessly for cartoons that deliberately cater to his liking like many other cartoon lovers in my age group who have been relying on the internet as a nostalgia soapbox over the past several years praising the 90s and ridiculing the 2000s to the point where benthelooney has now gained a moderately massive cult following after being frequently targeted by the commentary community.
im sorry that your father told you that you cant listen to cartoons or getting a plushie. personally, i love MLP and its true that teens and adults should love the series, even plushes. i enjoy plushies. dont stop watching cartoons or loving plushies.
Well you know Sarah Houck I want you to know for me I was not only bashed for childhood nostalgia but I was bashed also for being autistic and bisexual.
what if i told you that you're not only one. i myself have autism. I was picked on in grade school and high school for just being different but you know what, you can't let that stop you for being who you are in life. if people can't accept you for who are you then thats their problem. not yours. i don't see people not liking cartoons. hell, i watch anime, so what, it doesn't make me feel different than everyone else. even liking nostalgia from your childhood. you love things from your childhood. thats a good thing. you have alot of memories of liking those kinds of things. personally, don't let people judge you for who you are. be yourself and thats all there to it.
Man, how I wish that I saw this video back in middle school. You see, when I was a kid I had this friend named Allison who would used to tell me that by the age of ten and by the time I get older I wasn't supposed to be into cartoons anymore and it pained me so entirely so. :( It led me to believe in middle school that I was absolutely kiddish among others for absolutely loving Sonic the Hedgehog especially for typing up novels of him that were over a thousand pages. :(
Okay so I just asked my mom if she thought that I'm too old watch cartoons, she said: "No, cartoons are don't have age. Your father sometimes still watches cartoons sometimes and he used watch Tom and Jerry with you when you were little," I loosely translated that, she answered in Spanish but you get the idea.

My mom has been saying the same thing to me at least 3 times now. I'm grown and i still watch cartoons but not most of the ones today due to them being terrible, i watch a little of the shows today and a lot of older shows i grew with from the 90s and the 2000s although i don't like the late 2000s that much starting at the end of 2007. Just because some of us people who watch cartoons are grown doesn't mean we can't watch them. Doknot1999 it's nice that you agree with me on this question and that you made a video about this. No matter how old i get i will always love watching cartoons. I will always love the cartoons, reality shows, movies, and even the preschool shows i grew up watching.
I mostly re-watch old cartoons on my laptop because there isn't that many great cartoons today but there is still a some of good cartoons today like Adventure Time, and many more.
Earlier my 11 year old brother came in the room while I was watching my little pony:friendship is magic and he was saying "WHY ARE YOU WATCHING THIS SHOW IT'S JUST FOR LITTLE KIDS"? But yet he mostly watches shows like Bubble Guppies , Team Umizoomi , Paw Patrol , Dora the explorer, etc.
I'm an adult and I've been watch cartoons since was born. I've spent my childhood watching great 90s cartoons and its still a big part of me but its not the most important thing. I'm in college and I have to focus on my classes and there are times where I don't have time to watch cartoons on my laptop.
well i love cartoons and still watch, i am 30 years old people say i am a idiot wen i watch the lion king ,or fox and the hound, dalmations 101 balto and more of that etc etc even i watch pokemon still . just it making me insecure so what you think guys ? sorry for bad english. cuss i dont know anymore.. everyone say's i am a moron to watch cartoons on my age
How can people can call you an idiot because you watch Disney classics like 101 Dalmatians, Lion King, Fox and the Hound? Those are works of art and for any age and generation. WTF? Is this society fucked up in the head that badly? I hate humanity. Hope The end of the World will come soon.
What gives people I don't even know the right to tell me what I'm allowed to watch. Seriously it's mind boggling how certain people cough cough anti bronies can get so emotionally unstable because people may like a certain show is ludicrous and ends up making them look like snobs.
I am 24 years old and i love cartoons. I don't care what anyone says. If people wanna label me as childish go ahead, i dont give af. I will watch spongebob anytime i want, no matter how old i get. I will watch Nickolodien shows Disney, ect until the day I die and even in my grave i will be spending my afterlife watching my fav Nickolodien and Disney and Cartoon network shows laughing and enjoying myself
Definitely not. I still watch Rocko's Modern Life,the first three seasons of Rugrats & SpongeBob,CatDog,Rocket Power,Hey Arnold,Aaahh Real Monsters,Doug,Ren & Stimpy,The Wild Thornberrys,As Told By Ginger,Kablam,The Angry Beavers,Invader Zim,Chalkzone,etc. no matter how old I'm getting.
There is already a lot of wrong in the world! Hunger, famine, sickness/disease, violence, equal rights, homeless, etc and people seem to think adults watching cartoons is a problem!
I've drawn this comic where somebody tells me that cartoons are for kids, then I say to him: "Have you ever heard of South Park?" Then a South Park character hits him over the head with an anvil.
and this is definitely a reason why people as young as their teens and twenties have been feeling at least as nostalgic as old geezers over the past several years!
Actually it started around 60 and 70's when the production companies started turning to kids as target audience (they are easier to entertain and less picky about quality) and marketed it like that and the 80's just sealed it by presenting (spamming it would be a better term) it as sort of virtual babysitter (unwritten rule of children programing, you have to satisfy the parents first).
Jistomigin, you said it man, that's exactly what I was talking about, cartoons were always made for everyone from the start when they were first evented on TV during the 1910s/1920s.
Besides that you're too old for cartoons. I will ask everyone, two questions: What's Time Travel, all about? What would happen, if you leaped anywhere, in time?
Yes! Diligence is a very difficult virtue to practice and maintain these days! I mean, kids shouldn't be bored out of their minds with hearing nothing but too many words being uttered out to them or something! I mean, my dad pulled me aside for parental heart-to-heart talks and told me to sit still when I wanted to be free because of how much I hated sitting still and listening to his lectures, but now I know why I needed them, and they should've prevented me from questioning others' sanity!
I'm 26 and I love cartoons, when I was in my teens my mom and sister bugged me all the time they say things like "grow up" or "you're too old or immature" finally I got fed up and I told them off for it and I pointed out things in the cartoons that would be inappropriate for kids like violence and innuendo and I told them "is this appropriate for kids?" and they admitted that it wasn't and they've been more tolerant since.
You are absolutely right, D’Angelo. Nobody is never too old for cartoons. To be honest with you, I thought watching cartoons were for little kids but it’s actually not. I love watching cartoons and I can watch them for many years to come.
I don't think I'm too old for all cartoons. Some of the shows I watched growing up, I still like as an adult; others I don't think I enjoy or would still enjoy as much. After a few essays I read about the history of animation, my theory for why some adults have been negative about those who still watch them, is because maybe they think all kids cartoons are of low or inferior quality and don't know that some shows are better than others. While there have always been both good and bad shows, the reasons for why some are bad vary from cheap animation to overuse of sick humor. And it really seems in recent years more and more bad ones have been outweighing the good than ever before. But I'd gotten into a few, certain, older shows I didn't grow up on watching, enjoyed them, and since added to my list of favorites. The problem with negativity towards cartoons from some is due to the bad reputation for the most part it's had since the 1960s. I think if it weren't for that, more would be openminded. I haven't watched many bad shows in recent years, but I know of them from the negative reviews I read about them, so I usually avoid those. In my experience, finding great music has been much easier than searching for better shows. At least now everyone can pick and watch whatever 'toons they like online at any time. What I think needs to happen is there needs to be a channel that provides an alternative to the horse-feathers shows and air only great, high-quality ones that several of us would like. Just like there's an independent film industry as opposed to the mainstream.
One of the 90s cartoons that I discovered recently that I never heard of was this cartoon on MTV called "Daria", it lasted from 1997-2002, it seems like it's been forgotten since the series finale aired 11 1/2 years ago. Twisted Tales of Felix was one rare 90s cartoon as well, I heard that it aired in the US during the 90s but repeats were shown on the Latin America CN. Remember Dexter's Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls, Seasons 1-10 of Simpsons, X-Men the Animated Series, Batman the Animated Series!
4:51 actually my parents and brother think I shouldn't be watching mlp friendship is magic my brother thinks its dumb (like most shows I watch), my dad thinks I should watch sports when he knows I think watching sports is boring, and my mom because I'm not a 6 year old girl she even asked how I could stand watching it I mean come on I wouldn't care if you watched it at my age, just because it's made for a specific gender and age group doesn't mean a 14 year old boy can watch it you all have our taste and I have mine.
Anyone can watch cartoons. However, for instance, kids were never allowed to watch The Flintstones back in 1960 since it had Fred Flintstones smoking cigarettes. Tom and Jerry wasn’t a kids show in the 1950s as they were too violent when it originally aired on TV. Back in 80s and 90s, The Flintstones became family oriented for reruns and took out the Winston cigarettes commercials. When it came on Cartoon Network back in the late 90s/early 2000s, The Flintstones were on the prime time slot as it fits the schedule for family oriented shows and did come on early afternoons when kids were in school. In the end cartoons are for everyone but some of the majority of the cartoons are for adults only. A three year old has no business in watching Family Guy, King of the Hill, Bob’s Burgers etc. and any other animated shows that have adult content on them. Yes, you’re correct, cartoons were created by adults.
I think that concept emerged in the late 60s or so because it was when the studio system was no longer able to bundle cartoon shorts with main features in theaters due to the increasing prevalence of television sets in numerous households. Since then, many television animation ratings came from children while parents and babysitters were mostly busy with housework and/or jobs. Because of that, it seemed apparent that animation was considered to be cheaper than live action output and children
It wasn't until high school once I started my freshman year even so the summer before I started high school was when I FINALLY gave it up! What helped even more was that I had this junior friend named Britney whom said that I was actually cool when she saw that I had Cheetah Girls on my Ipod and that I loved Sonic the Hedgehog, in fact, she even so watched Sonic X with me on my Ipod and whenever she herself will borrow my Ipod. So yeah EEP! :)
When I graduate from high school I'm planning on working in Film and Video (especially animation). I loved cartoons since day one and I will continue to do so. My family is even fine with it (they all like cartoons in way or another). However, I typically tend to watch older cartoons (essentially anything from the early-mid 00s at the latest and below). Cartoons are for EVERYONE!!! In fact, cartoons used to be made for adults. Doknot1999, keep watching cartoons and keep spreading the word!
It's actually quite easy, if you're using Windows Movie Maker. All you have to do is click on the picture you want to use over the audio, then expand the time as much as possible (only thirty seconds). Do this repeatedly until you reach the end of the video. It's that easy. Hope this helps. :)
@@Timetravelerfrom-ix4oy I'll be haunting my house. If nobody else is watching the TV, I'll try to turn it on and flip it to the cartoon channel, if not I'll try to write in the dust "hey, this is Ankhara, I'm a ghost, can you maybe put the cartoon channel on, please?"
00:35 I would highly recommend not judging people with Down Syndrome like that, because I've been exposed to those types of people very often as a result of being diagnosed with another syndrome that calls for desperate measures, which of course is Asperger Syndrome, and there is quite a chance that those people have a heart. As for blasphemous, I can pretty much tell why, seeing as though certain media is supposedly treated like religions due to having supposedly strict standards.
I don't care how I old I am, I loved cartoons ever since I was 5 years old and I still love to watch cartoons, I'm 17 now and I'll still watch cartoons no matter how old I'll get, and nobody can tell me not to, I'll always watch cartoons, thanks for this video Doknot
(sorry, YT character limit) were assumed not to care about animation quality issues, so as a result, producers of animated shows continuously wrote down to their presumed audience over the next couple of decades, and that concept was even exaggerated in the 80s toy commercials mentioned in some of the feedback of this video. The problem somehow didn't end until the Disney Renaissance kicked in, but even then, films from that era were considered family films, which meant that they were
Going outside and actually spending time with your kids is the much better option when you think about it. I would much rather color with my kid or read a book with them or talk to them about their day rather than sit them in front of the TV until dinnertime. That's just my personal opinion, though.
I live with my mother, her boyfriend, my brother, and my grandparents, and they're fine with me being a 20 year old dude with Asperger's Syndrome who still enjoys cartoons, and who wants to work for Disney. They know when I work and I get paid, I use the money to get DVDs of the cartoons I enjoy. My father is fine with me liking them as long I enjoy them, but my step mother and step sister judge me for it. They try to use their famous "there are no girls your age that like it" excuse. :P
Great job Doknot1999! Cartoons Are meant for everyone not just for kids! These anti nostalgic teens/young adults just can't get over their hate for nostalgic kids network fans, but I know they will be getting pissed off at this video! LOL!!!
I know this review is quite old now, but I've wanted to make this point for a long ass time. I hate the idea that Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, Mickey Mouse, etc, are now being seen as children's entertainment. Those cartoons were not made FOR young children at the time, since they were usually shown in cinema screens packed with grown men and women, sometimes children, but not all of the time. It was really grown adults who saw these cartoons and enjoyed them at the time. I'm not saying cartoons like Looney Tunes or Tom & Jerry aren't for children at all, because they are fun for children to watch, but because of the fact that they are now seen as children specific media by some, they've basically been botched up and ruined by the studios with every resurrection and reboot thus far. It's actually quite sad.
Cartoons has been my life from when I was little and I'm still watching it today, and forever. I like cartoons old and new, although I like 80's, 90's and 2000's toons better.
Sara Houck Well, every decade had ups and downs. Animators who respect animation as an art form create timeless classics that appeal to all ages. Animators who think cartoons are just for kids create pandering shlock that is unwatchable to anyone over the age of 10.
4:20- I know what you mean man, when i was younger, my mom kept saying that me and my little brother should watch more live-action shows because we were too attached to cartoons, now i'm 18 and he's 15 and we still barely watch live-action shows. we stick to the good stuff, like: MLP:FIM, Gumball, Adventure time, Regular show, Dan vs, Gravity Falls, and Phineus and Ferb. It sickens me when people say i shouldnt watch cartoons, i say "let me live my life the way i want to." simple as that.
Now I know why it's very difficult for me to engage in proper human speech because of how often I'm preferably mute, as those skills are highly essential for raising children.
The main problem is belief that, when you grow up, you have to lobotomize your entire childhood and accept adult behavior and mindset on it's place. If you still watch cartoons, that means that you still cling on to your childhood desires and thus your transition to adulthood cannot be completed until you abandon it. Kinda like modern version of 'Rite of Passage'.
5:26- you're right man, my dad does the same thing, now imagine your's but imagine your dad with a Russian accent. that's mine, i still love him though.
I wouldn't call 80's the worst decade for cartoons (far from it) but the worst flaw of that decade was quantity over quality. The production companies only cared about churning episodes to push their toylines (These episodes must be aired in time to launch our new toyline! C'mon, chop, chop!). They had some pretty great ideas for the time but the execs just didn't give a fuck.
I once had this dream: My family were all in this house, that wasn't my house, and we had company, and we were watching this movie, and I protested, because I thought we were watching something related to either Simpsons or Courage, the Cowardly Dog. Then my dad started snapping at me about how cartoons are for kids, and Double D, from Ed, Edd n' Eddy tried to stand up to me, and my dad scribbled over his homework. It was a strange dream.

I'm an adult and I've been watch cartoons since was born. I've spent my childhood watching great 90s cartoons and its still a big part of me but its not the most important thing. I'm in college and I have to focus on my classes and there are times where I don't have time to watch cartoons on my laptop.
well i love cartoons and still watch, i am 30 years old
people say i am a idiot wen i watch the lion king ,or fox and the hound, dalmations 101 balto and more of that etc etc even i watch pokemon still . just it making me insecure
so what you think guys ? sorry for bad english. cuss i dont know anymore.. everyone say's i am a moron to watch cartoons on my age
+remco19 Don't listen to those people since they have nothing better to do.
well i watch lion king and more disney things.
How can people can call you an idiot because you watch Disney classics like 101 Dalmatians, Lion King, Fox and the Hound? Those are works of art and for any age and generation. WTF? Is this society fucked up in the head that badly? I hate humanity. Hope The end of the World will come soon.
I was doing the dishes one night and my stepdad caught me watching South Park and he said, "You're getting too old to still be watching cartoons." LOL
What gives people I don't even know the right to tell me what I'm allowed to watch. Seriously it's mind boggling how certain people cough cough anti bronies can get so emotionally unstable because people may like a certain show is ludicrous and ends up making them look like snobs.
My dad watches regular show and spongebob and I do to
You are never too old for cartoons
Facts! Don't let society change you
You should tell those people that.Don't be afraid.
I like to draw and hope to do something different and new with my cartoon animation that will amaze people.
I am 24 years old and i love cartoons. I don't care what anyone says. If people wanna label me as childish go ahead, i dont give af. I will watch spongebob anytime i want, no matter how old i get. I will watch Nickolodien shows Disney, ect until the day I die and even in my grave i will be spending my afterlife watching my fav Nickolodien and Disney and Cartoon network shows laughing and enjoying myself
Your never too old for anything!
Definitely not. I still watch Rocko's Modern Life,the first three seasons of Rugrats & SpongeBob,CatDog,Rocket Power,Hey Arnold,Aaahh Real Monsters,Doug,Ren & Stimpy,The Wild Thornberrys,As Told By Ginger,Kablam,The Angry Beavers,Invader Zim,Chalkzone,etc. no matter how old I'm getting.
That's right!
There is already a lot of wrong in the world! Hunger, famine, sickness/disease, violence, equal rights, homeless, etc and people seem to think adults watching cartoons is a problem!
Timmy Motyka Exactly.
Every one is different some watch cartoons some don’t
I love cartoons!!!And i'm 24!
Great!
I've drawn this comic where somebody tells me that cartoons are for kids, then I say to him: "Have you ever heard of South Park?" Then a South Park character hits him over the head with an anvil.
and this is definitely a reason why people as young as their teens and twenties have been feeling at least as nostalgic as old geezers over the past several years!
I'm not too old
Actually it started around 60 and 70's when the production companies started turning to kids as target audience (they are easier to entertain and less picky about quality) and marketed it like that and the 80's just sealed it by presenting (spamming it would be a better term) it as sort of virtual babysitter (unwritten rule of children programing, you have to satisfy the parents first).
I’m 13 I still watch teen titans (2003), SpongeBob, the loud house and Powerpuff girls and big city greens screw the rules. I love cartoons.
Exactly that is a very good point.
Jistomigin, you said it man, that's exactly what I was talking about, cartoons were always made for everyone from the start when they were first evented on TV during the 1910s/1920s.
I'M NOT GOING TO EVER GIVE UP ON CARTOONS OR TOYS OR VIDEOGAMES
+Noah Avery Good for you.
Doknot1999 THANK YOU FOR CHEERING ME UP
Besides that you're too old for cartoons. I will ask everyone, two questions: What's Time Travel, all about? What would happen, if you leaped anywhere, in time?
hey doknot 1999 i love watching cartoons
Yes! Diligence is a very difficult virtue to practice and maintain these days! I mean, kids shouldn't be bored out of their minds with hearing nothing but too many words being uttered out to them or something! I mean, my dad pulled me aside for parental heart-to-heart talks and told me to sit still when I wanted to be free because of how much I hated sitting still and listening to his lectures, but now I know why I needed them, and they should've prevented me from questioning others' sanity!
I still watch cartoons and I'm an adult
Never stop.
Doknot1999 thanks
I'm 26 and I love cartoons, when I was in my teens my mom and sister bugged me all the time they say things like "grow up" or "you're too old or immature" finally I got fed up and I told them off for it and I pointed out things in the cartoons that would be inappropriate for kids like violence and innuendo and I told them "is this appropriate for kids?" and they admitted that it wasn't and they've been more tolerant since.
Ironically, it was anime that showed me that not all animation is for kids.
Great video mate. I prefer the old shows I used to watch years ago. And many people grew up with the shows they liked and still like them today.
I don't think u are too old for cartoons
Thank You! Neither are you.
You are absolutely right, D’Angelo. Nobody is never too old for cartoons. To be honest with you, I thought watching cartoons were for little kids but it’s actually not. I love watching cartoons and I can watch them for many years to come.
I don't think I'm too old for all cartoons. Some of the shows I watched growing up, I still like as an adult; others I don't think I enjoy or would still enjoy as much. After a few essays I read about the history of animation, my theory for why some adults have been negative about those who still watch them, is because maybe they think all kids cartoons are of low or inferior quality and don't know that some shows are better than others. While there have always been both good and bad shows, the reasons for why some are bad vary from cheap animation to overuse of sick humor. And it really seems in recent years more and more bad ones have been outweighing the good than ever before. But I'd gotten into a few, certain, older shows I didn't grow up on watching, enjoyed them, and since added to my list of favorites. The problem with negativity towards cartoons from some is due to the bad reputation for the most part it's had since the 1960s. I think if it weren't for that, more would be openminded. I haven't watched many bad shows in recent years, but I know of them from the negative reviews I read about them, so I usually avoid those. In my experience, finding great music has been much easier than searching for better shows. At least now everyone can pick and watch whatever 'toons they like online at any time. What I think needs to happen is there needs to be a channel that provides an alternative to the horse-feathers shows and air only great, high-quality ones that several of us would like. Just like there's an independent film industry as opposed to the mainstream.
One of the 90s cartoons that I discovered recently that I never heard of was this cartoon on MTV called "Daria", it lasted from 1997-2002, it seems like it's been forgotten since the series finale aired 11 1/2 years ago. Twisted Tales of Felix was one rare 90s cartoon as well, I heard that it aired in the US during the 90s but repeats were shown on the Latin America CN. Remember Dexter's Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls, Seasons 1-10 of Simpsons, X-Men the Animated Series, Batman the Animated Series!
mostly because due to the fact that most any reality shows are so popular which is why there are still so many spin-offs of most reality shows
Good to hear!
That was funny when you did your cheer for BentheLooney for him liking Adventure Time and Regular Show
4:51 actually my parents and brother think I shouldn't be watching mlp friendship is magic my brother thinks its dumb (like most shows I watch), my dad thinks I should watch sports when he knows I think watching sports is boring, and my mom because I'm not a 6 year old girl she even asked how I could stand watching it I mean come on I wouldn't care if you watched it at my age, just because it's made for a specific gender and age group doesn't mean a 14 year old boy can watch it you all have our taste and I have mine.
Anyone can watch cartoons. However, for instance, kids were never allowed to watch The Flintstones back in 1960 since it had Fred Flintstones smoking cigarettes. Tom and Jerry wasn’t a kids show in the 1950s as they were too violent when it originally aired on TV. Back in 80s and 90s, The Flintstones became family oriented for reruns and took out the Winston cigarettes commercials. When it came on Cartoon Network back in the late 90s/early 2000s, The Flintstones were on the prime time slot as it fits the schedule for family oriented shows and did come on early afternoons when kids were in school. In the end cartoons are for everyone but some of the majority of the cartoons are for adults only. A three year old has no business in watching Family Guy, King of the Hill, Bob’s Burgers etc. and any other animated shows that have adult content on them. Yes, you’re correct, cartoons were created by adults.
I think that concept emerged in the late 60s or so because it was when the studio system was no longer able to bundle cartoon shorts with main features in theaters due to the increasing prevalence of television sets in numerous households. Since then, many television animation ratings came from children while parents and babysitters were mostly busy with housework and/or jobs. Because of that, it seemed apparent that animation was considered to be cheaper than live action output and children
It wasn't until high school once I started my freshman year even so the summer before I started high school was when I FINALLY gave it up! What helped even more was that I had this junior friend named Britney whom said that I was actually cool when she saw that I had Cheetah Girls on my Ipod and that I loved Sonic the Hedgehog, in fact, she even so watched Sonic X with me on my Ipod and whenever she herself will borrow my Ipod. So yeah EEP! :)
"Are You Too Old For Cartoons?"
No.
When I graduate from high school I'm planning on working in Film and Video (especially animation). I loved cartoons since day one and I will continue to do so. My family is even fine with it (they all like cartoons in way or another). However, I typically tend to watch older cartoons (essentially anything from the early-mid 00s at the latest and below). Cartoons are for EVERYONE!!! In fact, cartoons used to be made for adults. Doknot1999, keep watching cartoons and keep spreading the word!
Good for you Alex!
It's actually quite easy, if you're using Windows Movie Maker. All you have to do is click on the picture you want to use over the audio, then expand the time as much as possible (only thirty seconds). Do this repeatedly until you reach the end of the video. It's that easy. Hope this helps. :)
You're only too old for cartoons if you're dead, but even then maybe not, a ghost can watch cartoons too if he or she wants.
Nope. I will be spending my afterlife watching cartoons. Even as a ghost, i will be watching cartoons in my grave
@@Timetravelerfrom-ix4oy I'll be haunting my house. If nobody else is watching the TV, I'll try to turn it on and flip it to the cartoon channel, if not I'll try to write in the dust "hey, this is Ankhara, I'm a ghost, can you maybe put the cartoon channel on, please?"
00:35 I would highly recommend not judging people with Down Syndrome like that, because I've been exposed to those types of people very often as a result of being diagnosed with another syndrome that calls for desperate measures, which of course is Asperger Syndrome, and there is quite a chance that those people have a heart. As for blasphemous, I can pretty much tell why, seeing as though certain media is supposedly treated like religions due to having supposedly strict standards.
I have Asperger syndrome.
I don't care how I old I am, I loved cartoons ever since I was 5 years old and I still love to watch cartoons, I'm 17 now and I'll still watch cartoons no matter how old I'll get, and nobody can tell me not to, I'll always watch cartoons, thanks for this video Doknot
I still watch Cartoons and i am 18
(sorry, YT character limit) were assumed not to care about animation quality issues, so as a result, producers of animated shows continuously wrote down to their presumed audience over the next couple of decades, and that concept was even exaggerated in the 80s toy commercials mentioned in some of the feedback of this video. The problem somehow didn't end until the Disney Renaissance kicked in, but even then, films from that era were considered family films, which meant that they were
Going outside and actually spending time with your kids is the much better option when you think about it. I would much rather color with my kid or read a book with them or talk to them about their day rather than sit them in front of the TV until dinnertime. That's just my personal opinion, though.
Reading is boring. And plus can't you do all of those things. It's not like life is going to end the next day?
It's like they say your never to old for Disney soo you're never to old for cartoons it's the same thing I love them all! :)
I know right cartoons are for everyone
If Hollywood wasn't so corrupt, I would have tried getting into voice acting and animation a long time ago.
That's nice to say.
I live with my mother, her boyfriend, my brother, and my grandparents, and they're fine with me being a 20 year old dude with Asperger's Syndrome who still enjoys cartoons, and who wants to work for Disney. They know when I work and I get paid, I use the money to get DVDs of the cartoons I enjoy. My father is fine with me liking them as long I enjoy them, but my step mother and step sister judge me for it. They try to use their famous "there are no girls your age that like it" excuse. :P
I prefer not to work for animation due to personal concerns with labor intensity and time constraints.
Great job Doknot1999! Cartoons Are meant for everyone not just for kids! These anti nostalgic teens/young adults just can't get over their hate for nostalgic kids network fans, but I know they will be getting pissed off at this video! LOL!!!
i like it
I'm sorry that happened to you.That's so messed up.
I know this review is quite old now, but I've wanted to make this point for a long ass time.
I hate the idea that Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, Mickey Mouse, etc, are now being seen as children's entertainment. Those cartoons were not made FOR young children at the time, since they were usually shown in cinema screens packed with grown men and women, sometimes children, but not all of the time. It was really grown adults who saw these cartoons and enjoyed them at the time. I'm not saying cartoons like Looney Tunes or Tom & Jerry aren't for children at all, because they are fun for children to watch, but because of the fact that they are now seen as children specific media by some, they've basically been botched up and ruined by the studios with every resurrection and reboot thus far. It's actually quite sad.
This man speaks the truth, you're never too old to watch cartoons.
Cartoons has been my life from when I was little and I'm still watching it today, and forever. I like cartoons old and new, although I like 80's, 90's and 2000's toons better.
I guess older cartoons are better because they're wiser.
Sara Houck Well, every decade had ups and downs. Animators who respect animation as an art form create timeless classics that appeal to all ages. Animators who think cartoons are just for kids create pandering shlock that is unwatchable to anyone over the age of 10.
If MLP has taught me anything, it's that your never to old to enjoy a cartoon.
Cartoons are not just catered to kids. They're for everybody who have nostalgia in their brain. And to those who don't. then you're missing out.
4:20- I know what you mean man, when i was younger, my mom kept saying that me and my little brother should watch more live-action shows because we were too attached to cartoons,
now i'm 18 and he's 15 and we still barely watch live-action shows.
we stick to the good stuff, like: MLP:FIM, Gumball, Adventure time, Regular show, Dan vs, Gravity Falls, and Phineus and Ferb.
It sickens me when people say i shouldnt watch cartoons, i say "let me live my life the way i want to."
simple as that.
Now I know why it's very difficult for me to engage in proper human speech because of how often I'm preferably mute, as those skills are highly essential for raising children.
The main problem is belief that, when you grow up, you have to lobotomize your entire childhood and accept adult behavior and mindset on it's place. If you still watch cartoons, that means that you still cling on to your childhood desires and thus your transition to adulthood cannot be completed until you abandon it. Kinda like modern version of 'Rite of Passage'.
5:26- you're right man, my dad does the same thing, now imagine your's but imagine your dad with a Russian accent. that's mine, i still love him though.
Hey Doknot how do you make the video show that picture during the whole video I'm having a hard time
I wouldn't call 80's the worst decade for cartoons (far from it) but the worst flaw of that decade was quantity over quality. The production companies only cared about churning episodes to push their toylines (These episodes must be aired in time to launch our new toyline! C'mon, chop, chop!). They had some pretty great ideas for the time but the execs just didn't give a fuck.
I once had this dream: My family were all in this house, that wasn't my house, and we had company, and we were watching this movie, and I protested, because I thought we were watching something related to either Simpsons or Courage, the Cowardly Dog. Then my dad started snapping at me about how cartoons are for kids, and Double D, from Ed, Edd n' Eddy tried to stand up to me, and my dad scribbled over his homework. It was a strange dream.
