Ask Lemmy

When I was like, 2? My parents were like "Hey! What's this new cartoon? Let's take the kid to the drive-in!"

Fritz the Cat:

The Last Unicorn. Runner up, The Rats of Nymn.

The Brave Little Toaster. It's a bit endearing until the LSD trip goes bad.

The crazy stuff on Liquid Television

The lord of the rings cartoon. I still don't know wtf it is.

In my mid-teens, after Saturday Night Live they showed Fantastic Planet on Night Flight. That was an experience.

The old Nintendo cartoons, things like the Mario Super Show and the classic Sonic show. If you thought live action Mario and Luigi arguing with fungus people was weird, sometimes the people behind the cartoons would get so lazy that they wouldn't fully draw some of the frames or throw in a lazy scenario for the main characters like "what if Yoshi had a secret family he was hiding off-screen". Of note, people often ask me "why are you so relatively soft on the Zelda CDi games" and the answer relates to the deal of effort.

If puppet shows count, objectively it's Mr. Meaty.

Oh, man, when I was a kid around 1990 I was in France (maybe? Pretty sure it was somewhere in Europe), and they had this subtitled cartoon (I didn't know either language) that "starred" a villain named something like Amin Tumani ("I'm in to money", but made into a name) that was a stereotypical middle easterner. And to add to the crazy I'm 99.9% sure he died at the end of every episode.

If anyone knows anything about this cartoon, LMK.

The Last Unicorn

The most hauntingly memorable was a weird mid-century Donald Duck piece of math propaganda. We watched it in school.

Donald Duck in MathMagic Land. Not scary, but odd.

The first one that comes to mind is this one from probably the early 90s. From what I remember it was a group of kids and one of them is sick or something and the other kids try to save him? In the end they each sacrifice a year of their life so that the sick friend can live. I wanna say Steven Spielberg was a producer.

There was also that one crossover movie where a bunch of cartoon characters from whatever was popular in the 80s did an anti-drug movie.

Adolar's Fantastical Adventures

An old Hungarian cartoon about a boy who hides an inflatable rocket in his violin case. He uses it to fly to strange planets like a two dimensional one. Most vivid image I have in my mind is how the rocket stretches when it approaches light speed.

Watership Down.

Ugh Probably Teens Titans GO: Its episodes just go from Fart Jokes to how to pay Taxes.

Probably the Toxic Crusaders, but only after watching the movie it's based on.

The cartoon itself is just another knockoff TMNT, which was the style at the time. I have no idea how someone showed a board of directors the Toxic Avenger in the early 90s and said, we should take this and make it a cartoon for children.

Quads was fucking wild. I remember watching it in between Undergrads and the Oblongs. The wonders of having both parents work night shifts.

I saw a lot of Christian propaganda cartoons.

I remember there was a whole series where kids traveled through time to watch "historical" events.

The Point!

From Wikipedia: The Point! is a fable that tells the story of a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in the Pointed Village, where by law everyone and everything must have a point. Nilsson explained his inspiration for The Point!: "I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses [each] came to [a] point. I thought, 'Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's [still] a point to it.'"[4]

I’m pretty sure this is why I do drugs today.
