I can't handle most new cartoons, though. I grew up watching reruns of the classic Looney Toons and Hannah Barbara cartoons (also watched a lot of Betty Boop and Popeye, but that's not related), so when I see the new ones, the animation really throws me off and it's just not the same.

I also loved the bizzare/dark/messed up cartoons of the late 90s and early naughties (2000s). Things like Courage the Cowardly Dog, Invader Zim (I'm a huge Jhonen Vasquez fan), etc.

I also loved the movie the Brave Little Toaster as a kid, but looking back it's actually kind of disturbing (the air conditioner kills itself, there's a scary clown nightmare sequence, a flower dies of loneliness, there's a part where the appliances end up at an electrician's who basically "mutilates" and experiments on them Frankenstein-style, and there's a song called "Worthless" where a bunch of cars sing about their inevitable deaths as they are killed by a car crusher).
Only time I watched older cartoon was when I was at my dad's when I was little. Always made me sleepy.

OH GOD I love Invader Zim. The last anime convention I went to they had a panel with the voice actors of Gir and Zim. The voice actor of Zim was hilarious. When I was watching Invader Zim when I was younger my stepdad started watching it and was like, "This is a child cartoon?". Invader Zim so wasn't a child cartoon.

Ha, I've watched The Brave Little Toaster when I was younger as well. I've never realize how dark that was. xD

My all time favorite cartoon when I was little was Rugrats. I watched that show religiously.
Thanks for this!
