Lately I rembered about a few cartoons I used to watch some years ago. A few researches on youtube and I found old episodes. I feared to be genuinely melancholic about the time when these cartoons were incredibly entertaining to me. Well, I was not so disappointed, I had quite a lot of fun actually! It is great to look at things with a “new” eye (especially the Japanese and comics cartoons :). Most themes are musical sins and actions scenes often seem very very slow. Some plots tend to reach the essence of stupidity while some daze me by their complexity and strangeness. There are also some cartoons that will always amaze me by their talents (Pink Panther, Tom & Jerry, Wacky Races, Hey arnold, Recess…).

I was so enthusiast about this experience that I did some research on the internet and found websites that gathered all the major cartoons. To my surprise I realized that I had seen episodes from most of them. Though I had never genuinely followed any series I had still been watching about a hundred different cartoons. It really struck me! My parents tended to prevent me from watching tv. How come I could have spent so much time watching this crap? I still cannot believe I used to love pikachu!

Although most cartoons were a delight and a door towards imagination, it still brings a bitter taste in my mouth. I wish I had done something else with my time. In fact those cartoons are a part of my identity. I guess that is also the reason why it is so funny to watch them again. The self-derision, the delusion about how I used to imagine the world, the nice memories it brings back…

Here are the
I collected. It is a very efficient test to see if we are from the same generation.

Enjoy!
