Title: cartoons
Post by: psychopathetic on March 25, 2009, 10:32:30 PM: being a parent, i tend to catch a lot of stuff on nickelodeon and cartoon network. and disney channels sometimes, too. anyway, just wondering if there were any folks here who are into cartoons. i mean, i know some of y'all watch family guy or the simpsons but are any of you fans of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack? probably the best cartoon that's on right now. it's obviously aimed at teenagers/young adults but i watch it with my daughter who's three and she loves it also.

there's a show on disney called phineas and ferb which is actually geared toward kids but i find myself watching it even when i'm alone. it's hilarious. i think a lot of cartoons these days have jokes and innuendos specifically inserted for the sake of parents watching along with their kids.

i greatly appreciate it.

Theres one called "growing up creepie. pic a goth/emo girl being brought up by insects, living with them still. its warped enough to be funny to adults.

damm, i forgot " a town called panic " check it out at www.atom.com its from the aardman group. it really is for adults but its always placed in the kids programs section over here in oz.

Most cartoon shows today are so stupid that I can't stand to watch them. I'd rather watch a rerun of Bonanza or Gunsmoke on TV Land.

Fritz the Cat.

Talk about an awkard first impression. I was looking for people to go to the midnight showing back in college and one girl said she'd go, having no idea what the movie was.

Post by: Phaedrus on March 26, 2009, 10:06:07 PM: Oh yeah! When my little niece comes to visit We watch Viva Pinata sometimes on my laptop. She's nuts for the show. There was another one too, something about dinosaurs and a card game, I think. She's one of those kids that hates dolls but loves anything having to do with animals or dinosaurs.

Last Christmas I gave her and my other step nieces/nephew each a 20 dollar Wal-Mart gift certificate. She spent hers on an expensive Alfred Hitchcock"The Birds" barbie doll, just because she wanted the little birds that came with it. Won't touch the doll.

It's hard to get more interesting than Ren & Spimpy (although I must say FLCL pulls quite even).

If you want really good children's movies you should check into Studio Ghibli. They make films that are like Disney films, only worthwhile.

FLCL is amazing. I think I've finally go it figured out, but every time I watch it I notice something different that gives me something to think about.
