Do you know Dollar, the dog? How about Rumplestilkskin? Are you familiar of the smurfs?
I came home early evening yesterday and found Mother Goose, my Man, and Kulot eating the wonderful, wonderful spaghetti cooked by Ched, when all of a sudden, the conversation focused on Fairy tales, or the lack thereof, that Kulot is aware of.
She has no idea whatever happened to Little Red Riding Hood and the only thing she knows about Snow White was that she had seven dwarfs. We also tried to quiz her on some cartoon characters that we once knew growing up: some she knew, many she did not have a clue.
After much thought and consultation with Ched, Kulot finally stated that even when she has no idea what the color of the smurfs is, she was proud to say that at least she knows the members of the Teletubbies family and could even name their colors! They even sang the theme song.
Then it occurred to me: of course we have a seven-year gap so that would be natural. So I thought, if that is the case then it can be safe to say that the cartoon generation of a person can also determine his age!
Like me, I am now 22 and my favorite cartoon then was Richie Rich, that filthy rich kid who owned half the world, with the cute dog, Dollar, and has the most jaw-dropping gadgets and props in the planet. I sure enjoyed that cartoon. I also liked The Adam’s Family, that morbid cartoon of a family who loves everything nasty and ghostly and ghastly, that was so cool. The Jetsons was also one of my most loved. It was about a family living on the future, with all the convenience and high-tech gizmos even now are still to be yet achieved. But I did not know Voltes V and the other ones that came during that time, I was before that.
How about you? What cartoons defined your generation?
Prinsesa's Anatomy 
i like Richie Rich too! pero im really a Disney baby. until now I love Ariel the Little Mermaid and Belle of the Beauty and the Beast. Ü
i’m a mixture of both. i’m not a big fan of fairy tales made into movies though.
pasabit lng po 🙂 nyay… bk8 naabutan ko pa po ung adam’s family dti… tom and jerry, teletubbies and pokemon po ung amin… geh po…
inabot ko din yan, favorite ko nga yang pokemon!
hehehe ako rin po… kaso po pinapaulit ulit na lang nila sa 7 ehh… pero madami na pong bagong episodes… cute ni pikachu…
I have poor memory when it comes to cartoons of my generation. When I went to Disneyworld, they’re not there anymore hehe 🙂
I can only remember my daughter’s favorites. She started with Calliou, Teletubbies, Dora, Strawberry Shortcake, Bratz Kids and recently Hanna Montana, Alvin and the Chipmunks and Lady Gaga 🙂
i still know some of those your kid knows LOL
my favorite fairy tale is snow white.
at the end, the wicked queen went uninvited to snow white’s wedding.
some iron shoes were heated in a fire, and the wicked queen was forced to wear them. she “danced” in them until she finally died.
now that’s a wedding to remember!
i’m not sure if that’s the same ending i read but i think it rocks.
i love the simpsons, beavis and butthead, shows that you see on television.
yes, i even have some beavis and butthead comics.
i like ritchie rich too, but i haven’t seen a ritchie rich in probably twenty years.
i also like the simpsons. i think richie rich died already a long time ago LOL
naabutan mo ba yun saturdany cartoon machine sa channel 9 dati?
malamang-malang hindi na
hehe
hindi na!
I liked watching those cartoons especially the Smurfs.
Dun ko nakuha yung ” Finders keepers Loser weepers.”
tinky winky… dipsy… lala… po!
I used to watch Care Bears, Rainbow Brite, Voltes V, Voltron, Scooby Doo, The Flintstones, Thundercats and a bit of Richie Rich and Visionaries, too.
i also like flintstones! i like wilma a lot. i was not able to watch care bears though, pero i’ve heard about it.
funny thing, i was not really into cartoon when i was young! but i remember rainbow bears, voltes V (although it’s not a cartoon), flying house, super book, shaider (not a cartoon also), ect, etc!
were the rainbow bears the care bears?
One of the cartoons I’d rush home from school to go home and watch was the “Thunder Cats.” That’s a long time ago.
i think the cats i knew are that of top cats and felix the cat!
cedie, ang munting prinsipe! ala ako na-miss na episode nito.

Casper defined my generation!
