Do you think if there were more characters in Ed Eddn Eddy in the Cul de sac and the school do you think they would stand up for the Eds whenever they get beaten up the kids or they get harrassed by the Kankers

Not only did it educate it's viewers on numerous occasions with episodes about Beethoven and Michaelangelo, not only could it provide incredibly wholesome and feelsy moments like some of the Rita and Runt stuff and the golden wrapping paper, not only was it full of catchy songs, but it also had incredibly smart writing, some of which might even go over a 10 year olds head even beyond adult jokes. It also had lots of pop culture references, beautiful animation, incredible voice talent, excellent slapstick and a wide variety of comedy styles.

Each of the characters were well defined and even had some depth to them. For example, the Warners only usually annoyed those who were being jerks. If someone wasn't being a jerk or rude, the Warners wouldn't annoy them. Another example is how the Brain wanted to take over the world which sounds evil, but he wants to do it so he could make the world a nicer and better place.

This show also had so many different characters, you didn't know who you were getting.

This was hands down the smartest written comedy of the 90s and honestly, I feel like a lot of kids comedies afterwards never were as smart or intelligent as Animaniacs. It's a show that did not talk down to kids in the slightest. It's so good that I really doubt anyone has a single bad thing to say about the show, except maybe Buttons and Mindy. Some people really don't like those segments. Poor Buttons.

It focused less on action compared to X-Men and Spider-Man and those two were also very dramatic. However, there were times when Batman: The Animated Series had the feel of a primetime drama, but aimed at kids. It didn't really get into the fights until later in the episode. Honestly, Batman Beyond was more action-packed than Batman: The Animated Series and later DC cartoons like Teen Titans were more packed with action.

It's been a long time since I've seen BTAS, but I remember a lot of the show spent time exploring the villains, as well as Batman and sometimes Robin rather than battles.

And it was awesome for that. I wish more superhero action shows could prioritize drama over fights, because Batman: TAS became one of the greatest animated shows ever made because of how it spent so much time developing its characters and it's drama. Sure, Batman Beyond was fantastic too and had an excellent mix of drama and fights, but there's a reason Batman: TAS is often considered the crown jewel of superhero cartoons.

and yes, I put it in Fox because Batman: The Animated Series was a Fox Kids show. It predates Kids WB.

This show wasn't mean spirited at all. The point was to have CatDog having to survive in a world that's against them. Also, they may get on each other's nerves, but they're brothers. They learn to work together and they do deeply care about one another. There's an emotional core at the center of it. Yet, people like Mr. Enter find the show mean-spirited and unpleasant. Ren and Stimpy was arguably more unpleasant than CatDog with the gross-out. This show at the core of it all was about brotherly love and the determination to get through a difficult world.

It's meant to be a social commentary. A satirical show. Probably the most satirical Nicktoon of the 90s besides Rocko's Modern Life.

Made these on commission for a friend I think they came out pretty cool, first set I’ve done of them.

Horace Horsecollar was originally going to star on an animated series for The Disney Afternoon called "Maximum Horsepower" which would explain his dissappearance from cartoons after 1930s. The concept would be that, in 1939, Horace had gotten tired of playing minor roles. When he learned that Mickey was going to star in a segment of Fantasia, Horace was going to demand Walt Disney to give him a starring role in that movie as well. On his way to Disney's office, Horace ends up abducted by aliens who bring him halfway across the galaxy because they are in desperate need of the hero that they believe Horace is, despite his dreams of returning to Earth and resuming his acting career. Sadly, the idea got scrapped.

First pebbles from the suggestions I got on my last post

What's your opinion on 1995 Mickey Mouse short, Runaway Brain?

Am I the only one who felt bad for the Eds as a kid and didn't like it whenever episodes ended with them getting kissed by the Kankers anyone felt bad for them too as a kid and wished that they could have escaped the Kankers?
