How about Rin Tin Tin, Lassie, Mr. Ed, the Talking Horse.....Rocky & Bullwinkle....I used to hate that damn Natasha! I think my fav cartoon was The Tasmanian Devil....for some reason, I can relate to him.
When my grandson visits and I see some of the cartoons they have now, there is not a whole lot of effort put into drawing/design...there is actually a program that uses HANDS that are fisted, and they are decorated with faces...I am amazed at how the standards have been lowered for what our kids watch on TV.
