Nowadays, when there are countless television channels, countless YouTube channels and many digital viewing platforms, no one can easily watch the same things, even our algorithms offer different suggestions. However, at a time not so long ago, we were all waking up at the weekend, running to the living room without even taking off our pajamas, turning on the TV and finding the channel where our favorite cartoon would be released and waiting for it with excitement.
In this article, we will go back a bit and remember some of the cartoon characters that we loved watching as a child. The strange thing will be: No matter what age you are reading this content, you will find one of your favorite cartoon characters on our list. Your child and family will find it too. Because everyone knows that a good cartoon is timeless and gives the same pleasure to be watched from generation to generation. Let’s do some nostalgia.
Some of the cartoon characters we can’t forget:
Rivals of the animal kingdom: Tom and Jerry
From time to time, many different characters were included in the Tom and Jerry cartoon, in which we watched the endless adventures between cat and mouse, the eternal rivals of the animal kingdom, and the story became much more exciting. Let’s face it, as we got older, we started giving credit to Tom.
What’s up my dear: Bugs Bunny
The character of Bugs Bunny, which we know as a bunny living in its own hole in the 1940s, has developed over the years and has led countless children who grew up with him to exciting adventures. The legend he said while gnawing his green tasseled carrot ‘What’s up, dear?’ Who can forget your line?
Cowboy faster than his shadow: Red Kit
We embarked on the most difficult adventures of the Wild West together with the character of Red Kit, who started his life on the pages of comics and continued as a cartoon on television screens. Of course, along with Red Kit, its arch rivals, the Dalton Brothers, should not be mentioned. Which of us did not want to be with him while our lone cowboy was riding his horse Düldül far away?
ACME inventions: Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote
Wile E. Coyote, who we know as Jackal in our country, ran after Road Runner while he was walking hungry in the deserts of America. He ran so fast that he hung in the air for a while, sometimes not even realizing that he had fallen. Despite the strange inventions of the ACME brand, the Road Runner could not be caught.
Yaba daba du: Fred Flintstone
Who can forget Fred Flintstone, the family man from the Stone Age cartoon? Although everything was made of stone in the world where they lived together with the dinosaurs, they almost used today’s technology. They even had cars, although they drove with their feet. Fred Flintstone’s passion for bowling introduced us all to this sport.
Legend of the century: Mickey Mouse
Mickey Mouse character, created for the first time in 1928 by Walt Disney, the founder of the Disney brand, which has become a world giant today, is sure to be one of your favorite cartoon characters, no matter what your age is. Minnie Mouse, the female version of Mickey Mouse, has also managed to become one of the favorite characters of little girls.
I hate smurfs: Gargamel
Everyone has a different relationship with Gargamel. Because in the cartoons, Gargamel was the villain and his only goal was to catch and eat the Smurfs. That’s why we were so scared of this character when we watched it when we were little. As time went on, we got a little sad when we realized that he was actually a lonely man living alone with his cat Azman.
By the power of spinach: Popeye
Despite his huge forearms, the sailor Temel, who has thin hind arms and a weak body, would have superpowers by pulling spinach out of a jar and wearing it when he needed to protect his beloved woman Safinaz from Rough Beard. Let’s face it, sometimes we felt a little sorry for Rough Beard, too.
Cute and muscular: Johnny Bravo
The smug Johnny Bravo character, who, according to himself, is the most handsome and muscular in the cartoon world, had an appearance similar to Elvis Presley. Despite her repulsive features, she managed to win the hearts of all of us with her silly and cute demeanor.
The excitement of the one-dimensional ball: Tsubasa
After Tsubasa, one of the first anime that many of us watched, we all went out on the street and tried to play ball like him. How excited we were to see if the ball, which became one-dimensional as it accelerated, would enter the goal.
Together we dreamed of becoming Pokemon masters: Ash
Ash, the main character of Pokemon, one of the first anime that many people watched with Tsubasa, took us viewers at a young age with him and made him a companion to his pleasant adventures to become a Pokemon master. Until the boy who thought he was Pikachu showed up!
Come on wake up, join us, all your friends here: Winnie The Pooh
We met many different characters such as Winnie the Bear, Tiger Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Eeyore, and Owl in the series Winnie The Pooh, where we watched the adventures of a little boy Christopher Robin with toys in his dream world, and we watched a fairy-tale world by joining them.
Cute adventures under the ocean: SpongeBob
The cute adventures of SpongeBob, who spent his life cooking crab burgers in Bikini Town, where he lives under the ocean, and his best friend, starfish Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Crab and many other characters, were easily irreplaceable moments for many of us.
The chattering duck: Daffy Duck
Although we often watched it with Bugs Bunny, the cute duck Daffy Duck, who also has countless fans on his own, was as talkative as he was cute, and so nothing happened to him. Still, we can say that his adventures have a different flavor.
The first cyborg we know: Inspector Gadget
The Inspector Gadget character, which we started watching when we did not know what a cyborg is, was an inspector who looked like a normal human but had robotic features. When he was immersed in mysterious events, he knew how to get rid of even the most difficult moments with technologies coming from different parts of his body.
If there are mysteries, look for them: Scooby Doo and his friends
Who do you call when something mysterious happens in town? Of course Scooby Doo and his friends! Along with Scooby Doo, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne, Fred and maybe Scrappy-Doo arrive and solve the mystery. Fear not, there is never a real creature under the mask.
He introduced many of us to science fiction: The Jetsons
Who can forget the cute adventures of the Jetgiller family in the science fiction world decades later, in the cartoon Jetgiller, the cartoon where many of us meet the science fiction genre for the first time in their lives? The father of our family, George Jetgil, his wife Jane Jetgil, the youngest son of the house, Elroy and our adolescent daughter Judy, managed to become the second family of the audience.
We tried to remember them briefly by listing some of the most popular cartoon characters that made us wake up early and go in front of the television excitedly when we were little children. Of course, this list could have been much longer. You can share the cartoon characters you want to be on our list in the comments.
