Following the discussion going on in a random thread about Tom and Jerry, what is your favourite cartoon?

I think mine has to be Road Runner (Speedii Maximus) and Coyote (Ravenous Wolfus). They did exactly the same thing every single cartoon, but it was still comedy everytime he fell off that cliff. Or painted a tunnel in the wall that Road Runner can run into, then Coyote runs into the wall and falls over, then Road Runner comes driving a lorry out and runs over him - brilliant.

Tom and Jerry fall into the same category - always the same gags, but always brilliant.

With out a doubt, my all time favourite is Image

I agree with the above three, but for me Tom and Jerry is the best ever, even after 50 or 60 years. I won't have time tonight and possibly not tomorrow but I'm really going to have to go through YouTube and find some of the old cartoons I loved.

I saw a Tom and Jerry that talked once.. it was crap. I know in the normal episodes they occasionally say the odd words, but they're basically silent, which is how it should be.

Also did you know.. Mayor Quimby from the Simpsons is named after Fred Quimby, who did the producing (or directing or both) on most of the Tom and Jerry cartoons (obviously Itchy and Scratchy is a more graphic version of Tom and Jerry anyway.)

I didn't know that, but when I watched that Tom and Jerry youtube thing you sent me the other day, I noticed his name and did make the connection. Maybe that's the psychic thing that Viv is babbling on about.

I absolutely love cartoons. All of these are ace:

Ren & Stimpy
Rocko's Modern Life
Cow & Chicken
I M Weasel
The Powerpuff Girls
The Fairly Odd Parents
Invader Zim
The Angry Beavers
The Animaniacs
Pinky & The Brain

But I think Spongebob is my current favourite. I have an excellent 'Great Buns At The Krusty Krab' T shirt.

Battle for the Planets! - G force. 5 extraordinary young people working as one!

I wanted that cool jet thingy that Mark had and I liked the guy who sounded like Pete from Big Brother.

Mamma had a chicken
Mamma had a cow
Dad was proud
He didn't care how

Forgot that! Don't like it as much as the others mentioned though.

Yeah, but I think he has a nephew or something called Freddy.

I totally agree with these, plus i also like sheep dog 'n' wolf (i think thats the name of it). The one where Ralph wolf tried to steal the sheep but Sam Sheepdog kept stopping him.

My all time fave though is Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner

All the above but for a different idea Willo the Wisp was always good and the Wombles and The Magic Roundabout but not sure if they count as cartoons.
