I have lots of cartoons that were favorites as a kid, and I have to say, the Fraggles, while not cartoons, were top on my list for shows. The world they created is amazing- the diggers, the trolls! Living underground! Cool!
He-man was another huge fave. But really, who wouldn't like Adam fighting crime with his battle cat? And Orco? Heck yeah! Consequently when She-ra started I was in for that one too. My best friend Mikey and I used to play He-man and She-ra with wrapping paper tubes as swords. Also we used to look for the smurfs under the mushrooms in our yards. He swore they lived with him and wouldn't go near my yard. That he had the right kind of mushrooms. Hmmm, our parents were, how shall we say, sober-challenged?
I did go thru a more girl phase- care bears, rainbow brite, jem. The nicey nice ones. Mikey and I did regularly watch G.I. Joe and transformers in the mornings. So what if I was raised by animated creatures? I have a soundtrack in my life with lines like 'more than meets the eye...'
Was I excited by the idea of the upcoming Smurf movie? Not nearly as excited as I was when I was flipping channels and saw fraggle rock listed! Out loud: "oh my god. Oh My God! OH MY GOD!"
