Do you still watch cartoons as an adult?

I can not forget in a hurry the days of the popular Tom and Jerry series in our time. That was the time when we won't eat anything because we are trying to catch up with the series.

However, as adults, I think that this is different and I would like to know if you still watch cartoons because this is what I always enjoy watching even at this age.

Yes, cartoons are still an acceptable for adults to watch so I still watch them. The difference is that cartoons for adults exist now, so rather than watch the ones meant for children, I watch adult ones like BoJack Horseman. I was also never really into cartoons to begin with, so my experience with them has been someone else introducing me to the cartoon and then, I decide to watch it too. Shout-out to an ex-boyfriend for introducing me to BoJack in the first place lol.

This is nice. I always have fun watching cartoons and one thing that I have gotten to understand is that it is even better than watching some movies that are poorly scripted as well.

That’s a good point - there are a lot of cartoons designed more with adults in mind rather than children. Just because something is animated doesn’t mean it’s created for little ones! I’ve heard a lot about Bojack Horseman and I really need to check out some episodes.

Cartoons is just telling a story in style. One can watch the children ones and enjoy. Once the story is well told, I see no problem in watching cartoons

I still watch cartoon shows and cartoon movies. In fact, some of my all time favorite movies are actually cartoon movies. When I was a kid I watched a lot of cartoons, however, I stoped watching cartoon when I became a teenager. I stopped watching cartoon because I though cartoon was for kids and I was no longer a kid. Then after a long time, when my nephew and nice began watching cartoon, I sat with them watching cartoons. These days I watch cartoon with my two years old child.

We cannot deny the fact that cartoons are still entertaining even though we are already adult. It was the best days of our lives when we was young. We sacrifice everything to watch our favorite cartoons but as we grow older, we already have our priorities and we don't have much time on watching cartoons, but sometimes I am watching some clips when I have my free time and it was so relaxing to watch them once again.

Yeah, I watch cartoons with my daughter. Especially because I don't like modern cartoons, as they seem very evil and not kid friendly. So we watch the old cartoons I used to back in the old days. Like Samurai Jack, Jimmy Neutron and many many others. It's fun to this day, hehe.

Jimmy neutron is a nice kid cartoons and one that you can watch with your little children. There are some new generation cartoons that are not nice for kids and this is something that I don't really like when we are talking about cartoons watching since there is ought to be a balance on that angle.

What I dislike in modern cartoons is the art and the animation. Modern animation seems not so kid friendly. It even seems somehow aggresive, at some point. Not suitable for the mind of the children. I'd even prefer my 3 years old daughter to watch Courage rather than these "new cartoons".

I don't see why adults should not watch cartoons anymore. Actually, there are a lot of cartoons that I have enjoyed as a child, that I come to understand better when I watched it as an adult. Like Spongebob. Or Adventure Time. There are a lot of cartoons that you come to appreciate more when you are older.

You are right as watching cartoons while we are old enough is one way that we can get to understand some basic things about what they are trying to show us. I have learnt so much by watching cartoons and I don't really bother about what people around say about it.

Yes I still watch cartoons. I still watch anime, I read manga, I read comic books. I even play games from time to time. If you enjoy doing something, just do it. Age doesn't have anything to do with something that brings you joy. There's nothing wrong with an adult still doing stuff he or she enjoyed doing when they were younger.

You mentioned Pixar and I instantly thought of Coco.

That animated movie is my most favorite of all! It not only gives you a nice look at a culture and tradition but it also teaches you a lot about family and love. It's just one of the movies I love watching over and over.
And I think I watched it 4 times when I got the DVD.

Well, I've been watching cartoons all my life. I was a child of the 80's that grew up watching them every afternoon. Right now, I don't have kids of my own, but I have a Godson and a God-daughter, and they really like to watch Paw Patrol and Peppa Pig. Honestly, not my favorite ones, but certainly they really get entertained with those, and whenever you go to their house, for sure you will see the TV on with cartoons on it.

I know right? sometimes the repetitive sound of the characters gets in my head too. And believe me, those guys that make cartoons, really do their research on what keep kids entertained, so they use the right colors, the right words, the perfect drawing, so they can make that cartoon a worldwide success.

I still watch cartoons because my little kid watches it and I always check a few episodes of shows she watches to make sure that they are suitable for her age or if there is anything in the show I don't agree with it.
There are cartoons and animations that are targeted for adults like Family Guy and Adult Swim and adults enjoy them and are huge fans of them. Animes are also big nowadays even with adults.

Watching cartoons at this age is not just an entertainment. They become a portal that bring us back to memory lane. What I love about cartoons is that they can bring out the child in us. They become children again because of them.

People can say what they want about animes being for kids, but when you watch them keenly, you will begin to see you could not be any more wrong. As a matter of fact, I have learned to not let my children watch just anything animated. Quite frankly, most mainstream movies have nothing at all on animes. Nothing.

There are a lot of cartoons out there that targets more matured audiences like the Simpsons, South Park, Rick and Morty, and Family Guy. This cartoon show has more matured contents than kids show I would advise doing not let your kids watch this shows, parental guidance is a must.

There is something exceptionally relaxing about watching cartoons. I don’t have as much time to watch them as I’d like, of course - the demands of adult life really do keep me quite busy.
