Cartoons remind me of a simpler life, a life without problems, a life that is fun and full of happiness. I thought I'd detail out some of my favorite cartoons, just for old times sake.
Speed Racer: I know the movie just came out a few months ago and there was an updated cartoon series with Speed, but it doesn't come close to comparing to the original. The corny Japanimation cartoon just hooked me when I was young. There was just something about the Mach 5. That was a cool car!
Tom and Jerry: Without a doubt this was my favorite and still is. Something about the underdog mouse kicking the crap out of the cat just had me laughing. It was David vs. Goliath played out on the TV. I think the cartoon about Jerry's strong cousin and the Piano Concerto were my favorites. Of course, the tennis, golf, cowboy, billiards, and ice skating ones were good as well. Any T&J Produced by Fred Quimby was awesome! Anything Produced by Chuck Jones was mind-numbingly crappy.
Chip and Dale: No, not the dancers, the chipmunks. A very long time ago the Wonderful World of Disney was broadcast every Sunday night. It was a special treat when they decided to air the Chip and Dale cartoons. They never did this enough and I was always disappointed when there was a stupid movie showing instead of a cartoon. These rascals always figured out some way to make me laugh.
I watched Bugs Bunney, Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck and all the other cartoons that Mel Blanc voiced (his Yosemite Sam was pretty good), but I always thought they were a step below. Good, but not something I needed. The most frustrating cartoon on Saturdays was the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. I actually hated that one. I don't know why, but I couldn't stand to watch it.
Cartoons remind me of a simple, less complex life. A life worth living, for sure, but one that is full of life and fun and happiness.
