No matter how old we grow to be, cartoons will always bring a smile to our faces, and send the rush of nostalgia through us every single time we watch them. Although I spoke about annoying cartoons in one of my previous blogs, there are many cartoons that will always have a special place in my heart.
1. Tom And Jerry
Tom and Jerry is a simple, yet a hilarious cartoon show for children. The show is so effective that it makes not only children giggle, but brings tears out of the eyes of adults from laughing so hard! I have been watching Tom and Jerry ever since I was 5 years old. When I was younger, Jerry was my favourite character. I loved that mouse and its pranks! As I grew, I began to pity Tom and realize what a jerk Jerry really is. Nevertheless, this show is always my favourite and I still have DVDs of Tom and Jerry hidden away in my basement!
2. Courage the Cowardly Dog
Courage the Cowardly Dog is about a little pink dog that goes by the name of Courage. The plot of this show is hilariously ironic, as Courage is scared by anything and everything very easily! However, he always manages to overcome is fears and save his owner, Muriel, from whatever evil threatens her life. This cartoon has a very inspiring moral, which is that no matter how scary and terrifying something may be, you can always overcome your fears and defeat the evil. So no matter what happens, you will always be able to fight your fears in the end!
3. Scooby-Doo
Scooby Doo is about a team of four friends called the Mystery, Inc. and their dog, Scooby Doo, who go around solving crimes and uncovering mysteries. The monsters always turn out to be humans in the end, which leads to a very deep meaning of the show, which is that the real monsters are us humans. This can be put in context to the wars that are going on today. The moral of the show is quite true because the “monsters” cause pain and havoc and that is similar to man, who also goes around creating pain and havoc in the world. Luckily there are people like Fred, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma, and even Scooby Doo, who help to unmask the monsters and stop them from hurting innocent victims.
4. Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner
Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote is a cartoon that is similar to Tom and Jerry, where a hungry coyote fails all his attempts at trying to catch the Road Runner for supper. Although this is an entertaining cartoon that also causes the viewers to pity the coyote at times, there is a very important lesson to be understood from this cartoon, which is to never give up. This can be seen from the numerous attempts of the coyote, where he tries to catch the bird, even though he has failed a number of times before.
Cartoons are not always for entertainment. They also have a large number of hidden meanings and morals that need to be noticed and passed on to children who watch these cartoons.
