I was just wondering if there are any cartoon fans who've reach their adulthood and continues to watch cartoons? Most of the time, cartoons are targeted to a young demographic group.

I'm in my twenties and can't get my mind off the cartoons I grew up watch, the ones that were produced in the late 80s and throughout the 90s.

If you're an adult and still watch cartoons, how old are you?

I'm 42 and still enjoy old re-runs of "Bugs Bunny" and "Daffy Duck", Scooby-Doo and "Hong-Kong Phoey" , "Captain Caveman", "The Moomins", "Albert the fifth Musketeer" , "Wacky Races", "Danger Mouse" and "Duckula" !


I also love "The Simpsons" and some bits of "American Dad" and "Family Guy" ( not all of it though). I think it's a great way to relive your young years and allow yourself a little nostalagia. To be honest some of those to me were absolute gems.


I loathe all the latest cartoons though or the way classic characters have been messed with such As Scooby or those awful "baby Baby Bugs Bunny and Daffy". If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I have noticed that cartoons are one of those cultural points of reference you have in common with other people and it is quite common for me to meet people and end up havign this great long nostaligc discussion about certain classic episodes.

I love cartoons and am not ashamed of it ! Hybby loves them too which helps.

Same here! And I'm a big fan of the roadrunner
I also like the Disney movies.
FYI: I'll turn 39 later this month!
