Heh. Reading this thread then BAM! Wall of text.
I really hate todays cartoons, with an exception to Foster's. They all are just getting worse and worse with their jokes...

I watched "Now and Then, Here and There" a few years ago.

It was the darkest, most simultaneously depressing and yet beautiful thing I'd seen for a while - an anime so utterly not meant for children that it would break their fragile little minds to watch it, what with the crapsack world and all.

Disney's version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" could have come close - and it stands as my favorite product of Western Animation to date. That movie was frightening, yet awesome.

What hope does little kids have?

Well, there's pixar, and the indie movement is rising enough that we soon might have a significant output of even feature movies...

This thread draws my mind back in time to my favorite cartoon series: Aeon Flux. That was weird.

Pixar is the most perfect and awesome example of what I speak of. Pixar took the ghosts of Disneys old animators, wrung out the wrongs of the old days and infused it with technology they stole from the future where all children are considered adults, swearing they would not let that come to pass.

 The indie guys are a mixed crowd for me. Many of them are balls-off awesome. Then there are placed like Newgrounds, and while they are good at what they do they are a cesspool. A good looking one, but a cesspool nevertheless.

 And to further expand on why Anime is not for the western world:
 Around the age of 10 I saw Princess Mononoke. It had some iffy parts, but it was glorious. It was quirky enough of a world to keep me interested, and thanks to being American and not European the blood parts didn't phase me, as all injuries in eastern animation are handles with holes and spurts of blood, with gore being nonexistant.
 Then my sister got an episode of Slayers.

 Now you can see where I'm going with this.

 Just import all of Hayao Miyazaki. That will be fine for now.

I still don't understand a bit about slayer, though. Even though I know Lina Inverse (Wikipedia Article on the hero that based on her (DOTA(SUE ME, I PLAY DOTA(TO GET SOCIALIZED(AND I PLAY CS TOO!)))))))))

Why does every one hate Chowder? Its alot better than Flapjack, and so much better than Fosters. Especially that fucking cheese character. That piece of shit pissed me off so much, especially when people at school started repeating what he said. But, I do agree that Total Drama Island is pretty shitty... Any one here ever watch Dexter's Lab? Samurai Jack I'm sure, right? Both good ones in my opinion. Though, maybe I only think Dexter's is good because I have quite a few good memories of it from when I was younger. Ah well.

I still say that Chowder has excellent voice acting.

Anyone else remember the show with the two beavers that were brothers, where one was yellow and the other was brown?

Also, anyone else reading my posts in their head with a young MJ's voice?

[Mulch Diggums]

The angry beavers! And I guess chowders got some pretty good voice acting, but I love the world, generally the story, the snappy jokes at times. /much/ better than that total drama island crap, and fosters.

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

Yeah, it was great. The scientist guys were my favorite.

I loved Oxnard Montalvo.

I felt like going into a rant today, but armok pretty much already said it. 

I personally liked the older stuff better than this new stuff (not to say there isn't a few gems). Of course, I don't have a luxury of cable/satellite  TV, so I can't really say much about the 'new stuff'.

[Cheeetar]

The only children's cartoon (although it isn't a cartoon, more of a sort of sesame street thing) that has freaked me out lately is 'Yo Gabba Gabba', for reasons best explained by youtube.

No, although I do occasionally read posts in Professor Farnsworths voice.
