>>I could never whittle it down to one! My most favorite recent animated movie is Nimona. My most favorite recent animated series is The Dragon Prince. I grew up watching cartoons in the 1970s-1980s. However, early cable television relied a lot on cartoon archives and my partner is a huge animation fan, so I've seen a ton of stuff from earlier and later. And by earlier I mean things like "Gertie the Dinosaur."
Ooh, I loved Nimona!
I watched The Dragon Prince season 1 in Swedish to practice my language skills, but for some reason never picked it back up again when the next season came out. Now I want to get back into it!
Wow, Gertie the Dinosaur! I've learned something today :D
>>Again, I could never narrow it down, so among the favorites are Elfquest and Calvin and Hobbes.
I *loved* Elfquest when I was a kid. My library had almost all the volumes. I was so fascinated by that world.
>>Something new. And I have one series, Schrodinger's Heroes, that occasionally spawns scripts instead of my usual fiction or poetry. I had to go out and buy some instruction books, which is how I discovered Scott McCloud's books. "Black and Blue in Waxahachie" was actually illustrated by someone else, but that version doesn't seem to be linked on the series site.
I keep hearing you mention Schrodinger's Heroes and I just poked around a little bit on that link - that's cool! Picturing you theoretically making a cartoon/comic out of a script from a TV show that didn't actually exist is kind of wild. :D
>>I've seen some of the 1980s cartoon. And trailers for a live-action movie later.
The 80s cartoon had such a big impact on collective culture at the time. I was expecting to get a lot of the 80s cartoon as the answer to this question, and so far I'm not surprised!
