So I was looking back on some of my favourite cartoons from when I was a kid, and I had a blast of nostaglia. So I thought I'd share some of them.
Insepector Gadget:

This cartoon was probably the first cartoon I truley loved. I wouldn't miss a episode and I had quite a lot of the toys. I mean, he's like a private investigator cyborg with a transforming car. What's not to like?
Samurai Pizza Cats:
.
/* */
I liked this before I even knew what anime was, this show was rather awesome. A tad bit silly though.
Transformers:
.
/* */
Speaking of transforming cars, this was pretty much the most awesome thing ever. I had an obsession with dinosaurs at that time, so naturally the dino-bots were my favourite characters.
Denvor The Last Dinosaur:
.
/* */
The obsession with dinosaurs also lead me to watch this cartoon. Although I look at it now and I think it's awful. Pay attention to the lyrics. "He's my friend and a WHOLE LOT MORE", they're practically molesting him.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:
.
/* */
I was probably one of the only people I knew who thought Donatello was the best.
The Land Before Time:
.
/* */
This movie was fucking awesome, it still is in my opinion. Brilliant animation and good music.
Fern Gulley:
.
/* */
.
/* */
This movie was just sweet. Robin Williams played my favourite character, also the animation was just stunning.
Ren & Stimpy:
.
/* */
I loved this show because it was just so "naughty" for its time.
Widget The World Watcher:
.
/* */
Widget... He could transform into anything. It's pretty awful looking back on it now, but I liked it for some reason. He sounds like a $2 hooker.
Street Sharks:
.
/* */
Generic Ninja Turtles rip off, with terrible puns... But I liked it. I had so many of the toys.
Beast Wars Transformers:
.
/* */
I would always rush home from school to catch this cartoon. Although obviously its very outdated now, it still holds a special place in my heart.
Pokemon:
.
/* */
I was rather late getting into this Pokemon trend, but I ended up watching it for a little while and rather liking it. Although it was a short lived trend here, I grew a seperate obsession with the red and blue versions of the game.
Dragon Ball Z:
.
/* */
A lot of people I knew hated it because they put it in the same bag as the passed trend "Pokemon". Yes, because it was Japanese animation. I know its just such a silly, over the top show.. But I was really into it and rarely missed an episode. I still consider it one of my favourite cartoons... I was also introduced to Sean Schemmel (english voice of Goku) at Supanova in Perth back in June this year, which I was rather stoked about.
Neon Genisis Evangelion:
.
/* */
I had no idea what was going on, but it was awesome!
Batman of the Future:
.
/* */
I never really liked Batman all that much, but I thought this cartoon had a really sharp solid style.
Digimon:

I started watching this show quite a lot on Fox Kids back when that was around on the pay TV network "Foxtel" here in Australia. It was pretty sweet, but I never really got into any of the other seasons. Around this time I started to grow out of anime, since I saw it was becoming really overused.
Justice League Unlimited:
.
/* */
Ironically, my favourite character was "The Flash". This cartoon was just great.
Invader Zim:
.
/* */
I can't begin to explain how much I love this cartoon. I idolize Jhonens work. (couldn't find a full video without the spanish lmao). I shat a brick when I met Jhonen at Comic-Con.
Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends:
.
/* */
... This is just a awesome cartoon.
That's about all I can think of for now. :)

Well I was going to bed, but I guess I could stay up all night watching my Samurai Jack DVD's and Cats Don't Dance.
