Cartoons.........

Written by blueroze from the blog what's in a name on 12 Jun 2009
Favourite this post

Cartoons

We all watched them at some point in life
Some of us are still watching them even now

I am a sucker for cartoons
I even go to cinema to watch them

Arthur

I say HEY! (HEY!)
What a wonderful kind of day.
If you can learn to work and play
And get along with each other

When I was young I used to love Arthur (and his sister DW) , Pepper Anne (and the theme songs)

Pepper Ann, Pepper Ann,
Marchin' in her own parade.
Pepper Ann, she's like one in a million!

On SABC 2 there was Afrikaans cartoons with characters known as Victor and Hugo…I also loved, even though i understood like 40 to 50 % of what they said

But I must say my all time favourite is SpongeBob squarepants….the yellow little man with a good heart.
I just adore him and his underwater town of bikini bottom!…..he is such a sweetie

Pirate: Ohh.... who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
Kids: SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!
Pirate: Absorbent and yellow and porous is he!
Kids: SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!

The Simpsons were poplar at some point (I also practices and mastered drawing them with their funny hairstyles)

And then we have the Disney characters and Looney tunes, all of them from the popular as Donald duck to the not so popular as Pocahontas.

So mabloggas did you watch cartoons?
Are you still watching them?
Which one is/was your favourite?
Is it good that kids must watch them?
Other than for entertainment reasons, did you learn anything?
Is there an educational element in them?

My 4 yr old son loves Ben 10. I never had a chance to watch these when I was young. We didn't own a tv at my house but I don’t think I’ve missed a lot because I hate watching Ben with his silly watch and the aliens.

When I tell him to go watch his popayes he’ll shout cartoons mommy, cartoons… But that’s how we used to call them..

My son is a real Ben 10 groupie. He’s got a Ben 10 collection, the double DVD with all the episodes, THE WATCH (but he got pissed off when he realised it can’t change him into an elien), clothing and bags. He can squeeze all these from his Daddy but try and ask the Daddy for something essential like a new Guess/Polo handbag and you’ll think you’ve asked him to buy you a private jet.

Dash
12 Jun 2009 12:37

blueroze, BT that's a good one. But mine will ask what BT is... He used to be crazy with Spiderman and now he does'nt want anything to do with it. He told his Daddy to take back all the Spiderman material to the shop in exchange for BT stuff.

Eish guys don't get me started with Ben 10. My child is going gaga over him. He hasn't even watched one episode......... Peer pressure at 3 years old.

Spongebob is my sweetheart, I used to watch religiously when I was in high school.
PepperAnn was also a favourite, SHE -RA and HE-MAN..............

I Love Cartoons also ... But not the stupid ones with violence!

There are some really awesome ones with tons of wit woven into them,

Lots of children material with a sprinkling of adult nonmeclature to get the child's brain working.

I let my children watch those. Especialy Animaniacs, most and pixar stuff

I go to the cinema for cartoons ... even without the children.
