The Great Cartoons of My Past

As a kid growing up, I got to watch shows that I, today, still enjoy watching. After hearing someone talk about the movies he likes to watch and then hearing another talk about Mr. Magoo's Christmas, it brought back memories and I remembered watching Mr. Magoo thinking that if he had opened his eyes more often, he wouldn't get himself into some of those awkward situations. And after all these years, I never saw another old character play a role ever since. Would a new up to date Mr. Magoo be of any interest to our kids of today? Or has he passed on and I was too busy watching 90210?

Well, after talking about Magoo, I started thinking of all the cartoons I loved to watch as a kid. I enjoyed watching Charlie Brown. I often cried alot when Snoopy was lost and he cried when he was alone. I really did cry. I was in the living room sitting quietly while my parents were busy doing stuff. I don't think they knew how sensitive I was. I felt passionately about snoopy. I guess that's where my love for dogs began.

After that, the holidays would come and halloween brought the Great Pumkin Patch and then there was christmas. When the claymation holiday shows came on, I would get excited. While watching them, I was so invovled that if you fell down, I wouldn't have noticed. I was watching my show. My eyes fixed hard on the screen while watching Rudolph and frosty. But frosty was more cartoon than claymation. Either way, at 35, I own the movies on tape. But now, my mission will be to buy them again on DVD. I was telling this girl here, that no matter how old I am, I will still sit there and watch it. Hell!! I'll watch it now and even in July. I don't have to have kids to watch it, but one day if I have any, I'll be watching it along side with them. And it wouldn't bother me at all.
