OUR CHILDHOOD CARTOONS

     

     Are you one of those missing their childhoods? If you are, you are probably missing the games you played with your friends, the joy you had at those times, and maybe the energy, and may be the pure dreams you had at those times. Life was easier and you had no responsibilities. All you had to do was playing games and watching cartoons… Do you remember those our indispensible cartoons? We used to watch them without any boredom and maybe our mother was only able to get us eat our meals while watching them. I miss them very much! If you agree with me, let’s have take a brief journey to our childhood’s cartoons…

1. CEDRIC

     “If you are 8 and in love, then life is beautiful.” Our little love boy Cedric is very romantic and sometimes fool cartoon character. Created by Belgian comic strip writer Raoul Cauvin and drawn by Laudec, Cedric is loved by almost every people at every age all around the world. His cute behaviours and endless efforts to win his love Chan, Chinese girl, makes the cartoon even more attractive and interesting. We hope that one day he gains his “East Pearl”s love…

2. SAILOR MOON (AY SAVAŞÇISI)

     Did you remember this cartoon? One of our favourite and popular cartoons of our childhoods. It was on the air firstly in the years between 1992-1997.  It has 5 seasons and 200 episodes and its original name is Seeramuun. Sailor Moon is a very popular Japanese cartoon which is watched most of the countries in the world and has hundreds of thousands fans all around the world. Plot is, on the other hand, a war against evil forces. A group of teenage warriors having special powers fight against those evil people. It has also humour in it. It is a very enjoyable cartoon. We can say that Japanese people know how to make a cartoon as it is in every field…

3. SMURFS

 

 

     Little blue cute creatures… they were one of our indispensible and never gets old cartoon of our childhoods. Papa smurf, poet, handy, lazy, clumsy, etc. they were very funny and enjoyable. Smurfs, created and first introduced as a series of comic strips by the Belgian cartoonist Peyo (pen name of Pierre Culliford) on October 23, 1958. Although it was removed for a while due to some rumors and misunderstandings, Smurfs have taken their place on the stage recently.  Towards the end of the last summer with an amazing movie, they were remembered again and they introduced themselves to our new generation perfectly.

4. TOM & JERRY

    

     They are on those that never gets old. They are a legend loved by not only children but also adults; from seven to seventy… Created by William Hanna ve Joseph Barbera Tom and Jerry are loved very much since its first show in 1940.  The cartoon took the Academy Award for Animated Short Movie. The cartoon features comedic fights between a house cat, Tom, and a mouse, Jerry. It is full of fun and amusement.

5. THE FLINTSTONES (TAŞ DEVRİ)

     A cartoon that take us to the past, very very past… we loved them, their different lifestyle even their cars! They were created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbara. I think the new generation children have a right to watch this amazing cartoon so, I hope authorities can hear our voice and give the children this chance.

6. POPEYE

     The reason under the fact that we love spinach is our hero Popeye. Throughout all our childhood, we admired him, his strength. He have us loved spinach. It seems that he will be our hero all the time, too. What do you think?

7. SCOOBY DOO

     Another interesting and amazing Hanna-Barbara production. Our funny, always hungry and a little coward dog Scooby cannot keeps himself out from the trouble. Always ghosts, creatures but in the end always unexpected persons. With Velma, the brain of the group, Fred the handsome as well as clever guy of the group and Daphne beautiful girl of the group and lastly Scooby’s best friend Shaggy, they are always curious, crazy guys. They are still popular and watched all around the world.

8. ROAD RUNNER AND COYOTE

 

      They are nemesis but at the same time best friends. Throughout our childhood, we pitied the Coyote and always hoped that one he can catch the Road Runner. They are the characters that never get old. 

Those are some of the unforgettable cartoons of our childhood and 90s. apart from those there were Ninja Turtles,  Tsubasa little footballer, and so on. They had a very big place in our lives and hearts. So, what do you think? What was your favourite cartoon in your childhood? Do you miss them?
