Why Did 80's Cartoons Age So Badly?

[nieman]

I think the animation was better. There was some cheese but back then, the villains were cliche, and heroes were heroes, but for the most part, they aged fine.

G.I. Joe, most of the old Ninja Turtles episodes, Muppet Babies, that Disney ish is classic, Heathcliff, Bionic Six, Transformers, Dungeons & Dragons...

tmnt cartoon is a classic kids cartoon

what do you consider classic 90s kids cartoons ?

Most people count X-men, Spider man the animated series and other comic book focused cartoons as "90s" cartoons

 

[Majestyx]

voltron is still piff.

gi joe... some of those episodes are ass, especially the very early ones. but the later ones are still cool. i havent seen the TMNT or he man in a minute so i wont comment.

spiderman was piff, but was it really any different from TMNT ?

never fukked with xmen. the batman shows were ok, but nothing amazing.

spiderman and batman were definitely oriented for a more teen audience. TMNT and GI Joe were for kids.

thats the theme with the 90s- most classic cartoons either were for teens or adults. not that many amzing kids-oriented cartoons. besides rugrats, of course.

it really depends on who was doing the animating.

and the animation for those cartoons does not hold up today at all.

I see a lot of '80s babies in this thread mad we got better cartoons than them.

But seriously, the '90s had more than its share of garbage as well, especially since when one show got popular, a bunch of other blatant ripoffs came out.

Its true. Batman TAS changed the game in 92. It made character development in comic book cartoons a necessity.

 

[Grifter]

Captain Planet is still good especially Captain Pollution episodes.
