Animated cartoon

Hi everyone, do you still remember the animated cartoons shown on TV when you were kids? Some of them are still popular until now. Some are domestically made and some from abroad. And I want to know about each animated cartoon that might be known worldwide, besides Donald Duck, Pooh bear, Tom and Jerry. Looking forward to your posts!

I would expect that the Warner Bros. characters (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, et cetera) are popular worldwide. It isn't a Saturday morning cartoon, but I know that The Simpsons are very famous internationally, and probably South Park as well.

Thanks for your note YoungCalifornian. Yes, they are well-known and we have those figures decorated on mugs, T-shirts.

Looking forward to your no

Traditionally Saturday morning is dedicated to children's shows on all the major American channels (CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, the WB), most of which are animated. The Simpsons on the other hand was the first animated show I'm aware of to debut at prime time (8:00pm to 10:00pm), which is usually reserved for adult sitcoms and dramas.

From Japan came AstroBoy. In Japan it is called Atom Boy.

I think the first ever cartoon was Felix The Cat. Does anyone know whether this is true?

Hi Mike in japan,

AstroBoy was quite popular and had frequent appearance on TV, kid books. I liked that one, but it's not that often seen now adays which is surely a pity.

I have little idea of Felix The Cat, though I recognize the figure, but it is not until I read your note that I got to know his name.

I still rmember the theme song;

Felix the Cat
The wonderful wonderful cat
Whenever he gets in a fix
He reaches into his bag of tricks

Felix had a magical bag from which he could get anything he needed.
I wish I had one!
