I THINK THAT CARTOONS NOWDAYS ARE SP PATHETIC. THE CREATORS ARE USING TOO MANY SPECIAL EFFECTS AND THE GRAPHICS ARE TOO ADVANCED. CARTOONS SHOULDNT BE LIKE THAT. ALSO THEY ARE BRINIGN OUT SHOWS LIKE THE TWEENIES AND TELETUBBIES, I MEAN HOW STUPID ARE THEY. I WOULD HAVE HATED GROWING UP WITH THOSE SORT OF SHOWS. CARTOONS IN THE EIGHTIES WERE SIMPLE WHICH MADE THEM MORE ENJOYBALE. I THINK THAT ALL CARTOONS NOW SHOULD BE AXED AND PRODUCERS SHOULD BRING BACK THE OLDIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :80srock: :born80s: :raph: :micheal: :leo: :donatello:

The Justice League cartoon is great if you're into the background of the comics - the last multi-parter of the new series had real emotion to it. In fact, in a similar vein to Samurai Jack, it's perhaps aimed at an older age group than "traditional" cartoons...

I think it's a little unfair to say all modern 'toons are bad.
Like most of us on here, you're looking at things through rose tinted specs. I had my faves from the past sure, but I'm not gonna assume that all toons of today are bad. There are plenty of modern toons that I would've loved as a kid. Beyblade, and Digimon to name but a few.

na i domnt think all cartoons nowdays are bad its just alot of them are. they are too modernised 4 my liking. i know im older now but i can still see from a childs persprective as it wasnt that long ago. cartoons when we were younger were much better. i dunno wat is was about them but they really hit the spot and were really enjoyable and still are. If i look back at cartoons like rugrats i think they are silly now wheras i used to think they were ok. On the other hand i still love all the old cartoons from the 80s just as much as i did when i was young. xxx

i think it depends on sort of cartoon, many more cartoons i think nowdays are aimed at a younger audience and have less appeal, the ones that alike to the 'truely' good cartoon 80s therefore seem good too :)

Yeah but anyone who watched kid's TV in the '60's would probably say all the stuff we watched was 'rubbish'. Everyone thinks their own era was best. :)

Erm I dunno... I suppose kids like cartoons nowadays but let's be honest... some of the old 80s stuff was really bad!

Some of the cartoons that they have today aren't that bad. Some of them are totally stupid. Two of them are most definitely Mucha Lucha and Ultimate Muscle.

I almost never like any new cartoons, but one cartoon I really like is Pokemon series :) but thats the only new cartoon I like. I think that the cartoons of the 80s were more original,better storylines etc but maybe there will be good cartoons again who know ?

call me an old woman but i`m shocked at the level of violence in the cartoons on today. i was watching one with my nephew who`s 8, i think it was called the cramp twins, and they just constantly hit each other and my nephew started copying it.
our cartoons were about friendship and sharing or going on make believe adventures.

Look at stuff like Tom and Jerry and the roadrunner, and elmer fudd (was that his name?!). They were always hitting/killing each other but they came back to life each time. :D
