What Do You Think of Cartoons?
63.6% of people said that they love cartoons! Not so close behind, 27.3% of people think they are only okay, and 9.1% liked them when they were little. It looks like no one dared to say that they hate them and no one thinks they are just for babies! Good to know.
What are your Favorite Cartoons?
There were a lot of varying answers to this question, so I'll just go over the top results! With a whopping 17 votes, The Amazing World of Gumball was just barely the most loved cartoon of the bunch! Just behind it, with 16 votes, are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and SpongeBob SquarePants! Lastly, the third-place champion is Gravity Falls.
What do you Like/Dislike about Cartoons?
It seems that a lot of people appreciate the creativity and work going into the animation. On the other hand, there are people that just need something to zone out to. You do you.
Who is your Favorite Cartoon Character?
I'm happy to see the representation of older cartoon characters, like Tylee from Avatar: The Last Airbender and Betty Boop. There are also some newer cartoon characters, like Raine from The Owl House and Callum from The Dragon Prince. You can't go wrong with favorite characters.
Do You Find Yourself Watching Any Particular Genres?
There was a surprising number of people that are not very picky when it comes to their TV. However, there were a few people, with taste, that prefer more sci-fi, adventure, or fantasy cartoons.
What is Your Most Hated Cartoon?
Everyone hates the cartoon reboots, and rightfully so. The new Power Puff Girls and SpongeBob SquarePants reboots took some heat. Surprisingly, some beloved classics like Phineas and Ferb were also hated by some people.
What is your Ideal Environment for Watching Cartoons?
Most cartoon watchers like to huddle up in their cave with snacks and devoid themselves of all non-blue light, but there were a few additional unique answers.
What is Hands-Down the Best Cartoon?
There is a solid mix of new-age and classic cartoons. Most of them were a total culture reset and painted our childhoods in rainbows.
Whether you love or just mildly like cartoons, it is undeniable that funny little animated shows played a big part in our childhoods. However, if you enjoy the new reboots you are not welcome in this household.
