Whatever floats your boat.

I've been a fan of cartoons all my life. I can even remember watching a Bugs Bunny cartoon in kindergarten (btw, it's a crime the way the old Looney Toons have been censored these days). In the 80s, I was a Transformers junkie. In the 90s it was Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain, but those cartoons actually had a lot of material that seemed to be written with an older audience in mind. I even watched a lot of anime in university. There's not much now that interests me, but I recently discovered Dave the Barbarian, and that one's actually kinda good.

I used to love the Animaniacs! :D There was one story about a pair of gloves, that was really sad... :( (I remember it from way back when it was on consistently and half an hour long, with more than one cartoon, rather than the seemingly random, five-minute segments they started showing instead.)

I don't judge people by what they like. I think you can learn much more about someone by focusing on what they do and say.

P. S.: If you really liked cartoons past your childhood, then you've probably heard others claim that your shows are "brain-rot". I find it painfully hypocritical to see you attacking programs aimed at PRE-SCHOOLERS in a similar fashion. Those shows were designed with ONLY little kids in mind.

No. I remember in college we got to watch a DVD, and there was a variety of different ones. There was only one kid film, and it didn't take long at all for everyone to agree to watch that one, and we all enjoyed it.

The way I see it, U-rated films are good for kids, but also grown-ups like them too.

I hate it when people think the Simpsons is just for kids. I love the Simpsons, and there's some adult humour in it too. A lot of people automatically assume that just because something is a cartoon it means it's for kids. I suppose the word ''cartoon'' makes people think of kids, because of cartoon network.

So what if you get entertained by children's movies and shows? As long as you're having fun.

I think it's perfectly fine. I watch cartoons, but I'm 18. My mom is 47 and she LOVES cartoons. She usually defends them too because so many grown ups think its childish.
