Cartoons in the 1990s were educative, entertaining and innocent. It was completely connected to our lives back then. They were appropriate and fun and we all had our personal favourites. Those were the uncomplicated and interesting cartoon days that we still crave when today’s cartoons are nowhere that innocent, appropriate or educative.
Cartoon Network underwent a huge change within last decade and honestly, everyone can attest that the “Now” CN has not an ounce of the class that the “Then” Cartoon Network had!
1. Scooby Doo:
We all simply loved Scooby Doo and A Pup named Scooby Doo. They were hilarious, entertaining and considered logic even in most scary situations. Shaggy and Scooby taught us that it’s perfectly OK to be goofy and real, Velma taught that it’s perfectly OK to be Nerd and wear glasses, that doesn’t make you uncool, and Fred taught that sometimes you cannot do things on your own, you need a team, like he always says – “Let’s Split Up”, He taught the most important lesson Teamwork > Solo work and Daphne taught us that it’s perfectly fine to be “Damsel in Distress”, well, if you have an admirer in Fred, why should you complain *winks*.
2. Flint stones:

The show primarily focussed on the modern day collocations based in the stone-age. Use of animals, birds and the like for their regular works is something that really fascinated us all. In 2013 it was named the second greatest Cartoon of all times.
3. Power puff Girls:

Powerpuff girls are the trio cute, little super-heros that were created by Prof Utonium, when he accidentally added “Chemical X”. Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup – Well, weren’t they adorable? The hotline phone and the way Mayor was always dependent on them and the way these girls fought the evil Mojo Jojo and others.
And there is also a good news that Powerpuff girls are all set to return in 2016 due to the heavy demand of “Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice and yes- Chemical X”
4. Johnny Bravo:
Johnny Bravo, with his over confidence and being certain that all women want him. With his big hair and tight black clothes and being ruggedly handsome, he’s known for his karate chops, accompanied by the sound of a bullwhip. He is pompous; he always has his sunglasses on. His legs seem like he skipped the leg days. His narcissistic nature and his general attraction towards women constantly lead him into hilarious situations.
5. Dexter’s Laboratory:

This show was something that inspired us to find the inner creative genius in ourselves. The way Dexter invented many inventions and how DeeDee wrecked his technologies made it an interesting watch.
