I love my saturday morning cartoons!
05/04/2011
It depends I tend to go on nostalgia trip and watch cartoons /kids shows while working out as I explained in this thread,link . I sometimes like it more then watching adult shows.
05/04/2011
Not really into cartoons
05/04/2011
I don't care for any new cartoons, but I like to watch the ones I grew up on. Kipper the dog is pretty cute, though.
05/04/2011
I keep the TV on cartoons a lot because those are the only shows I can guarantee are safe and that way I don't have to peek around the corner every second to be sure nothing too obscene is showing. I like cartoons a little, but my preference when I'm actually watching TV is lifetime shows like Grey's Anatomy. Usually the ones with little obscenity, nudity, cursing. I don't want to be a bad role model for the kids and I like to keep it clean.
05/04/2011
I hate scary, gorey movies! I LOVE cartoons!! Always will.
05/04/2011
I don't really like one more than the other. It all depends on the movie. I can enjoy, say, Despicable Me just as much as I can enjoy live action movies.
05/04/2011
A few every now and then. They are not that age specific.
05/04/2011
Just another form of show. Some are good, some aren't.
05/04/2011
I'm not a huge fan of most of the newer cartoons, but I will sit down and watch some that were on when I was a kid.
05/04/2011
I'm not a big fan of cartoons. I sometimes catching myself snickering at some double entendre on SpongeBob, to which my 11 year old is usually clueless. But, I don't ever watch them by myself, preferring science shows, oddities, indie films and things like that.
I do, however, prefer most cartoons over romantic comedies.

I still like to watch disney movies that I grew up like Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. with but I don't really like to watch most cartoon shows though.
05/04/2011
Classics are the best.
05/04/2011
Nope. I don't enjoy snow as much as I once did either.

Do anime movies count as cartoons? Plenty of them are R-rated and full of gore. Happy Tree Friends is most definitely a cartoon and is still full of gore.
05/04/2011
Absolutely! Most of the shows I watch are cartoons. There are plenty of cartoons for adults, but I still watch some shows that I watched as a kid just for the nostalgia trip.
05/04/2011
I don't know if I *always* like cartoons *better*, but I sure do love them!
05/04/2011
I've found that I rather like American Dad! and have taken to watching that occasionally.
Used to really enjoy them, especially the really silly stuff like Fairly Odd Parents, but I'd drifted from them. Hell, I don't even watch movies much anymore; it's either a few shows in Discovery channel, or the Food Network.

I was just watching the rugrats on netflix!

I really don't watch TV, but some of the cartoons and animated movies are cute.
05/04/2011
Definitely
05/04/2011
I love cartoons, but I love movies more.
05/04/2011
I love both cartoons and "grown up" movies.
05/04/2011
yep
05/04/2011
I like many different types of animation.

05/04/2011
There are some cartoons I really like. I do have a fondness for a lot of the old ones, I'll admit
05/04/2011
I have to admit I was quite pleasantly suprised when the new Hub channel started and I saw they were showing Transformers and GI Joe...now if they only had Thundercats and He-Man, that would pretty much sum up after school television for my entire childhood. I still watch a lot of other cartoons like Batman and Star Wars the Clone Wars. I am just a big kid at heart.
05/05/2011
I love cartoons!
05/05/2011
sometimes but not much
05/05/2011
YES - I love a good cartoon and laugh!
But I can't say I always prefer them over others.

05/14/2011
I'd rather watch South Park than just about any other show on TV, and lots of animated movies are among my favorites.
05/16/2011
I voted yes because I love cartoons but I love gorey horror flicks more.
05/16/2011
I still enjoy cartoons.

I stayed up late watching every episode of Gotham Girls a while ago. It's so cute and sassy!

Heck yeah, i love cartoons. Grown cartoon as well as kids ones. I have an almost 8 year old son so I get to watch quite a few
05/18/2011
Cartoons are fabulous, but I like a blend of cartoons and non-cartoony things. I miss things like ahh, real monsters!
05/19/2011
I still love watching cartoons.
05/19/2011
Some cartoons are actually made for adults to watch. D:
05/19/2011
I can't get into the same cartoons I used to as a kid. I think M's made an entertainment snob out of me. I'm more into the newfangled cartoons that are all computer generated and not at all cartoon-like, these days. But I still occasionally watch the older stuff, too.
05/19/2011
Yes, but Netflix is NOT helping! I'm finding that, fortunately, I still had good taste as a kid

Oh I love cartoons still. I am constantly watching the disney and nickelodeon channel. I do still enjoy adult movies and shows but the cartoons are always relaxing and I love them!!
06/21/2011
Depends on the cartoon, the "big boy movie," and my mood. But I definitely love me some old movies, especially Home Movies and Clone High XD
06/22/2011
Mostly yes, but I can no longer take cartoons with very simple plots or huge plot holes.
06/22/2011
It depends on the cartoon vs the movie, but animated films can sometimes trump movies in terms of their expression and ability to convey a certain feeling.
I still watch The Simpsons. Other TV cartoons I watch tend to be international though.

I am always surprised when people say they don't watch cartoons because it's childish. Sure, the storylines are simple, but I see nothing wrong with that sort of thing. Really, a lot of blowy uppy movies have simple storylines too. Speaking of which, there are also adult friendly cartoons. I've not seen this one, but I've a lot of adult friends who enjoy Avatar: The Last Airbender.

I'd rather not watch cartoons if I can avoid it. But with three kids 6 and under...I've come to tolerate them.
06/22/2011
As I like to say, animation is a medium, not a genre. Just as live action shows come in all forms, so do cartoons, especially if you broaden the net and look at cartoons from different countries (one of my favorite cartoon movies happens to be from Germany). There's animated shows and movies that are primarily for children, some that are cool no matter what age you are, and some that definitely aren't intended for children (I wouldn't show a kid Death Note, for example, not only because it's dark but because the plot can be confusing).

"Anime" is the Japanese term for cartoons regardless of where they came from (Daffy Duck shorts are anime to speakers of Japanese), so I certainly don't differentiate.

I have been known to occassionaly watch spongebob when there are no kids around. haha.
06/26/2011
Oh absolutely. I love anime and a lot of that is aimed at adults. Not to mention I noticed that I tent to get sucked into some of my daughter preschooler aged shows like Blue's Clues.
06/27/2011
Heh-heh. Rewatching the entire series of 'The Real Ghostbusters' right now.
Yeah, I like animated stuff ... haven't seen anything recent, though. Anime like 'The Big O' and 'Gunsmith Cats', more adult stuff like 'Wizards' and 'Heavy Metal', borderline stuff like 'The Last Unicorn' and 'Rocky and Bullwinkle' ... and stuff from my teens that I'd watch with my younger brother because the plots were still awesome, like 'Tale Spin' and 'Tiny Toons'. Of course there were the Disney movies, and Warner Bros. classics will always be my first love.
"Big boy movies"? What are those? *smirk* Beat people up and make explosions? I watched 'He-Man' for that sort of thing.

When I have time, yes. I find a lot of them really amusing.
06/27/2011
I love cartoons, especially bad ones.
07/18/2011

07/19/2011
cartoons are amazing
07/19/2011
I love my cartoons ^^
07/29/2011
It depends. I LOVE Adventure Time and a whole bunch of "adult" cartoons, but I'm not a big fan on cartoons of the Saturday morning kind.
07/29/2011
I am an anime fan. I also like watching classic episodes of the Simpsons. Sometimes, I watch South Park. Everyone once in a while, I'll see a Disney or Pixar movie. The last one I watched was Ratatouille.
07/29/2011
All the time. Phineas and Ferb is a newer show I like. And fairly odd parents. Of course there is anime as well.
07/29/2011
yes
07/30/2011
Absolutely love cartoons: old, new, children cartoons, adult cartoons, anime, etc.... doesn't matter, I love them all.
07/30/2011
I still adore cartoons from my childhood. Most of the newer cartoons seem very dumbed down or too manic for me to handle.
07/31/2011
Love the cartoons
07/31/2011
I like cartoons (both the classic Disney movie type stuff and the more adult-oriented Family Guy/Simpsons/Etc), but I wouldn't say I like them *more* than other genres.
07/31/2011
well, i meant yes, but your poll wanted me to say no lol i really love watching anime, especially cowboy bebop
07/31/2011
well i watch more adult cartoons, like Family guy
08/07/2011
I think a lot of kids cartoons nowadays are stupid I do like spongebob though
08/08/2011
i love cartoons, whether it's the more adult, such as flcl and big O, the childish like spongebob and MLP:FIM or the deceptively adult, like Dan VS, cartoons are awesome. i just wish they weren't stigmatized as child's fare. really, how is spongebob any worse than dancing with the stars, or the apprentice?
12/30/2011
I am an avid Spongebob fan, not afraid to admit it!
12/30/2011
I prefer cartoons. They're much more relaxing and fun.
12/30/2011
Yes, and I make my guy watch kid movies all the time.
12/31/2011
yes i watch and draw them.
12/31/2011
Yeah but I'm not really a fan of the newer shows. I have a soft spot for Code Name Kids Next Door and ones from a few years ago or ones from my late childhood.
12/31/2011
Only watch spongebob if there's nothing on :p
12/31/2011
I Luuurrve cartoons. Spongebob, Phineas and Ferb, and a few of the nickelodeon shows are pretty good. I don't really do 'gorey' movies, so....
12/31/2011
I watch Nick Jr a LOT. Like some more than others.
01/01/2012
I don't like the new cartoons, but give me some tom and jerry and I'm hooked.

Some of the time. I don't go out of my way to watch cartoons, but I will if friends get me into something new. Not very often, though.
01/01/2012
I love Family Guy and Drawn Together.
01/23/2012
We do enjoy watching cartoons and kids movies occasionally, but not more than we enjoy regular or "adult" films.

When I see some of the old cartoons I grew up with, I cringe at the crappy animation quality. Oh dear god, the Smurfs were just dreadful!

Just because a movie/tv show is in cartoon format doesn't mean it's overly simplistic or for kids. :p
03/24/2012
I hope our children will be able to enjoy Looney Tunes and other classic cartoons.

Looney Tunes!
03/24/2012
I love anything animated! My guy and I are nuts about it. I love anime, claymation, puppets (Fraggle Rock), some 3D (Pixar)... I don't like the majority of cartoons that have come out in the last 10-15 years. I think they've really been dumbed down. It just makes me sad to see soulless cartoons like Spongebob and those slapped together Disney sequels/prequels/midqu els.
Jeez... That made me sound old! lol

While I still love the Disney movies I watched as a kid, and lots of the shows I watched as a kid, I can't really say I like many newer cartoons. My ex watched cartoon network all day long and I couldn't stand it! I greatly prefer shows like House, Law and Order SVU or CI, CSI, or science and history documentaries.i do agree with p'gell that I would prefer animated movies to most romantic comedies, though. Ugh...
03/24/2012
I sometimes watch the ones I liked as a kid for old times sake, I've watched a lot of cartoons recently via netflix as just something going on in the background, while I am on the computer or in and out of the room.
03/24/2012
I love cartoons! No shame!
03/24/2012
I will always love cartoons!
03/25/2012
my roommates are frickin in their 20's and watch stupid kid cartoons like teen titans and pokemon. no joke. I love Archer and some other animes.
03/25/2012
Usually I watch ones that I loved as a kid but once in a while some of the newer cartoons will actually be good and impress me enough to watch some.
And of course Disney movies will always be a tradition in our house. =^.^=

Yes I do enjoy them from time to time
03/27/2012
It depends on the cartoon, I could watch My Little Pony until my eyes fall out. But stuff like Spongebob irritates the jesus out of me!
03/27/2012
Not really. I tend to watch more 'adult' things. But every now and then I do, like the Puss and boots movie or something.
03/31/2012
Not necessarily "more than" grown up shows/movies, but a lot of them are really fun! I especially love Adventure Time.
03/31/2012
I totally watch cartoons. I like my big boy movies too but I will watch a disney movie or "anime" in a heartbeat. Can't watch spongebob though. That show just freaks me out.

Cartoons are so awesome. I love watching a lot of the same shows my young son does: Spongebob is a good example of this.
I do also watch animated series that aren't necessarily for children, including a lot of anime aimed at teens or adults. I think part of what's nice about animated things for me is that animation makes suspension of disbelief easier for me. I know fewer voice actors by name than I do live-action actors, so I'm less likely to be distracted by them.

I watch Japanese animation somewhat regularly, watch old American cartoons on the rare occasion. We watch live action TV on trips and movies a few times a year.
07/09/2012
Yes I buy most of the new movies when they come out on DVD I love to watch them with my little one!

Cartoons are awesome. I love the classic cartoons like Scooby-Doo, Looney Tunes, and Tom & Jerry. Modern cartoons just aren't as good. Anime is also awesome.
07/09/2012
It varies by the cartoon for me. Some cartoons are too cheesy or annoying, but others I still enjoy. I also still love He-Man.
07/09/2012
Daria, Avatar, and Legend of Korra all hold special places in my heart.
07/10/2012
I do!
Old favorites like TMNT, Spongebob, Looney Tunes etc
and the adult cartoons on 'adultswim'!

Both are great, and some of the cartooons get better when you can understand all of the hidden adult jokes. Anime can be just as great
