Reading over the thread about 90's cartoons made me try to think about how many good cartoons there have been SINCE the 90s, and even with 2010 not so far away, the list I could come up with is barely a fraction as long:
Samurai Jack
Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
Chowder (Which I absolutely LOVE. I can't remember feeling this way about a new cartoon since I don't know how long.)
That leaves us with a grand total of THREE, all of which were created by people who worked on stuff in the 90s.
I thought Ed Edd n Eddy would've made the list but it turns out it actually first aired in 1999. Most of the time Billy & Mandy just annoys the hell out of me...
So what happened??? Did I just outgrow cartoons or did everything just turn crap when the 90s were over? It can't be nostalgia because I see things from the 90s that I don't even remember and it's still great as ever.
Thoughts or cartoons that I missed?
Drawn Together =B
Catscratch. Do the Clone Wars cartoons count? Maybe Avatar (From what I've seen of it)
[edit]
In terms of cartoon quality, yes, they have gone downhill. The problem is that it's getting too "expensive" to make these cartoons, since one person can pretty much animate an entire episode himself now with pre-animated clips from a library (I know they did this for Shaolin Showdown; the animators never animated a walk; they pulled it out from a library). Just give it a bit- soon enough all cartoons will look crappy (see: golden age of animation turned into HB TV crap, then that turned into the goodness of the 90s) and the only way for it to gain interest will be in good character design, storytelling, plots, visual styles, etc.
Sometimes I mix up Danny Phantom and Fairly Odd Parents :[
Spongebob? Or was that in the late 90's?
Spongebob premiered in 1999
samurai jack was cancelled before the last episode could air, i was really pissed off. I liked the animation style of samurai jack and how they used robots to make up for them not being able to show blood. Although i expect the final episode would end with jack committing seppuku
i dont think ive seen many cartoons that ive liked since the 90's. Anyone ever saw the jackie chan show? It was a cartoon of jackie chan i only saw one episode but it was something else.
RIP
they still air Hey Arnold in Hungary, fyi
Hey Arnold had really awesome writing.
Also I forgot about Avatar. That's not really my kind of thing but it's still a good show.
Quote from: R. WappinAlso I forgot about Avatar. That's not really my kind of thing but it's still a good show.
I'm not too familiar with the story or the characters, but hot dog, the action fighting sequences they have in there are brilliantly choreographed, imo. It's just like watching a kung fu movie (without the senseless plot and bad lipsync of course)
Ed Edd n Eddy was so close to the millenium that it doesn't feel 90s.
Also, Invader Zim? Surely you can't forget Invader Zim.
Oh yeah! For some reason I thought Invader Zim came out in 1999 too. Fairly OddParents also came out at the same time, (But the shorts on Oh Yeah Cartoons were 1999...)
Invader Zim was good. Too bad it was canceled so quickly. It had a lot of potential. Also, that sucks to hear that Samurai Jack was canceled before they could air the last episode. I think the series won an Emmy.
I use to watch Hey Arnold every day after school and was simply ecstatic about the movie - I think it premiered on the last day of school for me like back in grade 3 or 4, and I went. I loved it - but I was so disappointed to see how empty the theater was.
Quote from: KingDavidbut I was so disappointed to see how empty the theater was.
ive know that feeling all too much, its even worse when your not watching an short film.
You guys can sorta rejoice. Craig said that Samurai Jack will be concluded. In the form of a feature film.
And I don't think he's just blowing smoke.
REN & STIMPY!!! (199?)
Invader Zim (2001)

Invader Zim was truly, truly an awesome animated show. I used to tune in for every new episode, then got really depressed after it got cancelled since they kept saying there was going to be new episodes after the Christmas episode aired... They never did, but I do own all the unaired episodes on DVD now so I'm content. :3
Hmm, what about The Boondocks and The Venture Bros. they may both be Adult Swim, but they both are very well traditionally-animated shows and improve in appearance each season.

It might be just because I only got to see the first episodes of it since it got aired for the first time here in Argentina today, but Flapjack looks like a preety decent show

i dont really watch tv but flapjack is great.
I loved Animaniacs and Rocko's Modern Life. Ren & Stimpy was another great show. Ed Edd n' Eddy was one of my personal favorites.
Also, I was never a fan of Invader Zim. There were some funny parts but it wasn't a great show in my opinion.

Yes, yes, yes, yes and goddamn fucking no. Invader Zim was indeed a great show, I remember the amount of disgusting and deformed kids on screen at the same time, ahhh, the memories

I loved beavis and butthead, it was a great show. The movie was great as well. Invader Zim on the other hand was really gay, besides the intro which was neat.

ah. yeah, i didn't realise that this thread was for cartoons that are still continuing since the 90s. i'm not thinking straight :\

Quote from: ZyphoneeQuote from: The Last Gunslingermucha lucha and jackie chan adventures
1989 the number another summer (get down)
Sound of the funky drummer
Music hittin' your heart cause I know you got sould
(Brothers and sisters hey)
Listen if you're missin' y'all
Swingin' while I'm singin'
Givin' whatcha gettin'
Knowin' what I know
While the Black bands sweatin'
And the rhythm rhymes rollin'
Got to give us what we want
Gotta give us what we need
Our freedom of speech is freedom or death
We got to fight the powers that be
Lemme hear you say
Fight the power
Chorus
As the rhythm designed to bounce
What counts is that the rhymes
Designed to fill your mind
Now that you've realized the prides arrived
We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
from the heart
It's a start, a work of art
To revolutionize make a change nothin's strange
People, people we are the same
No we're not the same
Cause we don't know the game
What we need is awareness, we can't get careless
You say what is this?
My beloved lets get down to business
Mental self defensive fitness
(Yo) bum rush the show
You gotta go for what you know
Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be
Lemme hear you say...
Fight the Power
Chorus
Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant ---- to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was
Simple and plain
Mother---- him and John Wayne
Cause I'm Black and I'm proud
I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped
Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps
Sample a look back you look and find
Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check
Don't worry be happy
Was a number one jam
Damn if I say it you can slap me right here
(Get it) lets get this party started right
Right on, c'mon
What we got to say
Power to the people no delay
To make everybody see
In order to fight the powers that be
(Fight the Power)

Surprised to hear Squidbillies, but I can agree with that.
grim adventures of billy & mandy
Quote from: Emanhattangrim adventures of billy & mandy
I truly only liked the show after they hit Season 3 and the show got a total stylistic makeover, basically after Billy's house mysteriously grew a full second floor. I always liked the inconspicuous adult humor sprinkled in.
