Rewinding my childhood

What’s your favorite cartoon?

To be honest, I don’t really have one these days but as a kid, I was OBSESSED with eighties cartoons. Pretty much any of them. He-Man, She-Ra, Thundercats, Gummi Bears, DuckTales…if it had bright colours, dramatic theme music and a slightly chaotic storyline, I was sold…hook, line and sinker.

There’s something about that era of animation that just hits different. Maybe it was the Saturday-morning excitement, perhaps it was the toy commercials disguised as plots, or maybe it was just the fact that everything felt new and magical back then.

Although, even now, I absolutely love and appreciate a Disney animated movie. There’s a real nostalgia that washes over me when I watch them today, that cosy, childhood feeling you can’t quite recreate as an adult. It’s comfort viewing at its finest.

So while I might not have a single favourite cartoon today, those classic eighties shows and Disney films still have a special place in my past and in my heart.
