The Powerpuff Girls: Knock It Off
(2001)
Episode 6, Season 4

One of the darkest episodes of the Powerpuff Girls.
WARNING: SPOILERS!

When a cartoon that usually relies on action and comedy combined, it's pretty tough to have an episode so dramatic, dark and serious. With only one or two scenes relying on humour, this has one of the show's darkest and most serious one time only villains.

What also makes this episode stand out more, is the mix of heartfelt scenes and even rather disturbing content. Especially the scene when Dick Hardly captures the girls and you see all the knockoffs. This is also one of those overlooked episodes that doesn't get enough attention but it's definitely up there as one of the darkest things shown on Cartoon Network.

South Park: Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina
(2005)
Episode 1, Season 9

A weak unpleasant mess!
I think many of us can agree on this one, but this was a terrible terrible episode. ALSO if you have a weak stomach, DO NOT watch the live action surgery scene that comes early in the episode, it's gruesome. Mr Garrison gets a sex change. Any plots alone in animated sitcoms involving this plot are bound to be bad. So avoid this one while you can, also I can't bear the scene where Kyle's kneecaps burst. Kyle by the way wants to play alongside his favourite basketball team, but he's not tall enough.

Also, Gerald becomes a dolphin and that's pretty much the whole episode. Skip it while you can. It's a disastrous episode. Not one of South Park's greatest unfortunately.

Road Rovers
(1996)

If only it didn't get cancelled
Far by my most second favourite cartoon Spielberg did, after Animaniacs. Even if the ratings were low, so what, I still enjoyed it and loved it, was so funny and I adored the cast, wow Jess Harnell and Tress Macneille were in there and were just fantastic, the whole cast were brilliant, especially the legendary Frank Welker.

I'd love to see this cartoon again, was so awesome and the jokes were brilliant. Also I can remember the hilarious moment where Brain cameos in it, you hear his voice and it played the PATB theme instrumental, that was just fantastic, I love it in those cartoons when cameos pop in. I wish this cartoon and Animaniacs came back, i loved them

The Nightmare Before Christmas
(1993)

Good film, but not my cup of tea
Funny enough loads of people find this a beautiful film, it is beautiful, in ways, the ending scene was gorgeous and sweet, but really, it wasn't my cup of tea, I'm not really a Tim Burton fan, but it did have some beautiful animation, but really...some of the film was just so....so.....well you know.

Sally was sweet and had a lovely voice but of course, like nearly every Disney film, the females always have to put up with being locked away or something.

Not everyone in the world liked the film as far as I know, an old school friend of mine said it was the first film he saw in the cinema and to be honest, fell asleep.

I woulda done the same if I was young, but since I've only the seen the film recently, don't really care, its an okay film though.

The Land Before Time
(1988)

Brilliant and a true non Disney masterpiece
Wow, The Land Before Time, truly my all time favourite movie, very special to me because I grew up with it from day one. I was also born the day it was released as well as the same year (November 18th). We had this movie on video long ago and we watched it all the time, I've loved this movie for a long time and still do, mostly for the beautiful soundtrack, the characters and of course, the memorable song. "If We Hold On Together" is a brilliant song, just love it, always brings back so many memories and yet, such a wonderful feeling after watching the film. Too bad this film got spawned with so many DTV sequels and a TV Series which made it so crap, I think they should have left it off at the original, I love the movie and always will.

Animaniacs
(1993)

90s was the best decade for cartoons and Animaniacs is definitely number one on the list
Wow, what can I say about Animaniacs, definitely one of the greatest shows ever made, I loved it ever since I can remember, was five when it came out and I fell in love with the characters and everything. A cartoon that now made me realise it was more than just madness, randomness slapstick and so on...it was educational, Nations of the World, the Presidents, US Capitols, parts of the brain...SO ON...Animaniacs was everything, yet just an incredible cartoon, I can't thank Steven Spielberg enough for making such a classic masterpiece of a cartoon, even the adults adored it, I know some of us dislike it now, like my sibs but I still love it! Just so glad I grew up to remember the one cartoon which just makes me want to buy the DVDs, too bad they aren't Region free or anything, but it's a true masterpiece, I could kill for it, the acting cast was brilliant, nearly all the characters were lovable, the parodies were darn right funny, the lyrics were genius, just everything was amazing.

As a kid, I remember having a huge crush on Yakko, I mean what can I say about Yakko, he's charming, clever, witty, and yet, the girls who watched the show just loved him and who could do a better role for him than Rob Paulsen? His role was just fantastic and I couldn't see anyone taking his place, Rob was what made Yakko an unforgettable character, his mannerisms were just charmingly a big tease and wow...amazing hoy many fan (girls) swooned over his mischief...notably wagging his eyebrows. Yeah Yakko would still have to be my favourite.

What I love about Animaniacs is the Warners, just so unique in every way, all little rascals of riot but yet so lovable, looking at them now I just wish they were my adopted children, I just love them.

If I were to change the world, I'd bring 90s TV back on the air and Animaniacs would be a big yes.

Oh and spoiler...one for the quote section...

Yakko: Could you do that "no no no" thing again? Hello Nurse: No no no no no no. Yakko *with glee*: I LOVE THAT!

D'Artacan y los tres mosqueperros
(1981)

Masterpice
Despite the manipulation into Twenty Six episodes, DATTM was a true classic, I loved the series, I was given the DVDs as a present and I just love it to death, my real favourite cartoon of the 80s. The only thing that put me off it was the fact that Dogtanian had a doggy name and of course, he never even saw his parents or school friends again and Juliette, been given a name like in Disney films, where the heroine is named (eg.The LIttle Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast etc.) well that was a few years before that happened. Pip tough was the most annoying and the episodes focusing on a jungle, just put the cartoon off a little.

Overall, still a brilliant masterpiece in the making.

Animaniacs: Wakko's Wish
(1999)

Was all right but...
To be honest, I grew up with Animaniacs and I loved it ever since it came out and into my life, and when I saw the movie like 3 years ago I was excited cos it was Animaniacs but...seeing it fully one time, I actually have to say, it wasn't bad for a finale or a Direct to Video movie, but...weren't the Warner siblings a little out of character, notably Wakko for being the responsible one of the group that and Yakko when being more of the parent as well considering that hes the oldest.

Also the fact that pushing nearly every character has been seen even background or one off characters (the nanny in the SOM parody and Katie KaBoom), also Minerva Mink was seen in a few spots and yet, no one still knows why she wasn't put in the background or anything, since her character was too saucy anyway.

However, it wasn't bad for a movie as I said above, the fact that it was a little too childish put it off and everyone outta character almost, they did kinda make it sorta Disney esquire with the REPRISE at the end of the movie, and of course, thumbs up for fitting in the Wheel of Morality at the end.

There was one or two scenes I admit (WARNING, spoiler) making me cry and they were the scenes where Yakko was comforting Dot when she was sick, I cried when both happened, out of character but still incredibly emotional.

Also, maybe some of these wishes in the films still may NOT be true since everyone in the film weren't in Burbank like they were in the TV series, but more just done for the film, because it was like a Fairy Tale.

However, I did enjoy the film since I am a huge fan of Animaniacs. THey just needed to work more on the humour
