I have a DVD with Balloonland (Pincushion Man) around here somewhere. But that's 1935 or something like that.

...I own them. I also own felix, and mighty mouse. I loved them when I was really little, but as far as my memory goes, I only very vaguely remember that phase.

which is why ninja turtles outranks, I at least remember that part of childhood.

(I also have 5 disks of rin tin tin lol)

Popeye was an extremely popular Sunday comics character that got converted to movies

he bounced around to many different studios so he never had much consistency

started with the Fleischer studios until Paramount purchased them

then United Artists bought the catalog and eventually got sold to MGM and Turner

Mighty Mouse was a "Terrytoon"

they had some movie shorts in the 40's that were cheaply made (compared to the other studios) and he resurfaced as a TV show that led to his popularity (they also made Caspar and Baby Huey)

Love love LOVE Popeye! I can totally see why Olive Oil was so in love with him. (We need a heart smiley)! LOL

Underdog was the creation of Jay Ward who did TV cartoons and was most famous for Rocky and Bullwinkle

(also George of the Jungle)

he was ahead of his time for TV

EWWW!

All of these characters just creep me out.

The Taz is the man!

Hmmmmmmm good name for a puppy!

Well certainly not old school, but I believe Jessica Rabbit is my favorite toon by far.
