Okay, so here's the thing...
I spent much of my youth watching cartoons on the idiot box. I remember being enthralled by the unusual looking characters, bright colour palettes, and exotic situations. It's something that's never left me and so I still enjoy cartoons today (albeit of a different type).
I was wondering what your favourite cartoons were as a child, and if they still hold up today when you watch them as an adult?
My first choice would have to be Kum-Kum, a Japanese series from 1975 that was dubbed into English and broadcast around the world. It was about a prehistoric cave boy who got up to all kinds of mischief. Unfortunately, all I can find to share here is part of the first episode in its original language. This should give you a taste of what it was like though.
I have managed to find all the episodes on a site somewhere and have been watching through them again. I think the English dub is not that great to be honest with you (they rarely were back then), but it in every other way measures up to the stuff that today's kids are watching. In fact, I would argue that it's better.
Okay, your turn!
