Oh, sure, although mostly older stuff (The Real Ghostbusters, Freakazoid, Sonic Sat-AM, Digimon Adventure 02 specifically, Batman The Animated Series, etc). Nostalgia is certainly a factor, but I enjoy animation and especially appreciating the work that goes into creating a cartoon. Helpfully, a lot of the shows I grew up with in the late 80s and through the 90s were only sort of intended for children and were made by people who loved art and animation and wanted shows they could enjoy, and not just slop intended to sell toys (not that I don’t watch The Masters of the Universe on occasion. What a goofy fucking show. I watched it a lot as a kid and always said I hated it, but obviously I didn’t. Today, an Orko figurine lives by my computer). TRGB slips after the first two seasons, but the others I enjoy wholly. Eh, there’s others I like too but only watch piecemeal and on occasion, like Dexter’s Laboratory and Power Puff Girls. I need to find Pinky and the Brain to rewatch. I wonder if I would enjoy rewatching Inspector Gadget?

Newer stuff not so much. I mean I like animation a lot as an art, but also, I am very picky when it comes to style, so most newer programming for any age is right out.

Like Saturday morning cartoons then no, I tried watching some old cartoons I grew up on like chip and dales recently on Disney+ and it made me realize how much they simplified the plots and dialogues for the kids, it was too boring for me. I do watch adult animation though and sadly so many people still think anything animated is just cartons for kids because of companies like Disney and Hana Barbera pushing that dynamic for all these years

I do like Spongebob!

I definitely watch some content meant for children, because much of that content works with multiple age ranges. For example, Ponyo. That shit makes me cry like a bitch. Fantastic film.

yes. i watched 4 or 5 episodes of Earthworm Jim yesterday. i rewatch Gravity Falls once a year or so. spongebob, pinky and the brain, and many others are all in my lineup

I dont watch a lot of TV anymore. A lot of the stuff taking itself seriously tends to suck. There are a few absolute gems, but most of everything else is like, petty, or bullshit, or garbage in some other way. There was this wave of reality-show fever when it feels like every damned TV show had to shoehorn some contrived petty drama that sidetracked from the interesting stuff and i got so fed up and checked out of the medium. It absolutely felt like every channel was doing it, inescapable.

Except for stupid cartoons. There’s something about a show not taking itself seriously that makes it perfect. And the serious kids media wasn’t made to cash in petty, mean spirited bullshit, its made as a reminder of some important lesson that we should not forget to pass on to the next generation. Yeah i prefer cartoons.

I’ve stopped for a while, like ten years at least, but picked them up again since covid.

The vast majority of things I watch are intended for mature audiences, yes. Movies and series created for kids specifically just don’t entertain me, with a handful of exceptions. Shrek is love, Shrek is life, of course. I also really enjoyed a cartoon called Final Space, which I suspect is targeted for young teens but it’s pretty good! Despite being canceled :(. If anything has a Disney/Pixar label on it I avoid it like the plague though, it’s usually a cringefest for me.

I still watch them, Some kids cartoons are timeless and some its like a completely new show from an adult perspective.

Not as much, mainly because there’s an unwritten rule with watching cartoons you grew up with. That being, don’t watch some cartoons if you want to preserve the memory of how fond of the cartoon you were as a kid. Because not all cartoons are going to land the same as an adult than it did as a kid. So, there’s some shows I avoid myself to not have that feeling. There’s others like the old Transformers stuff I’d watch because that was a little before my time and I heard it was good, as well as the other series.

But revisiting things like old Nick cartoons or even a lot of Saturday morning level of cartoons because, I enjoyed those more as a kid than I probably do as an adult.

Yes. I watch the Spiderman cartoons from the late 60’s, Spongebob Squarepants and Rik and Morty (although I suspect that is more for adults).

Invader zim is still fun, as is clone high. Or anything from Studio Ghibili

I will forever love Looney Tunes. It’s a classic.

An adult is a kid with bills to pay.
