Growing up in the 90's provided a great source of cartoons and shows to draw from. Original ideas like Pokemon, Dragonball Z, Rugrats, Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, Reboot, and many others have lended a hand in my thought processes and creative tendencies. All the shows on tv seemed to have a different style, and although at the time I grouped everything that was drawn as "Cartoon", and everything that wasn't as a "TV Show", I would later realise the immense differences in artistic styles, story structure, and genre.
Being able to take small parts from each of these shows, and amalgamate them into new ideas is a great joy, and everytime I start thinking about how to take a project, I can see where certain ideas spawned from.
I loved my childhood shows, and I really want to be able to see a future filled with just as many for the new generations so that those kids can have just as much fun as I did.
I couldn't agree more. But I wish I was born 80 years ago, because I really enjoy the old cartoons like the Donald Ducks Silly Symphonies or Looney Tunes. They actually put some work into their creations, they drew every single frame by hand, but what you get today are some lazily computer-animated cartoons. A good example are The Simpsons, I love the first 2 Seasons, but I hate the newest ones. They look so shitty, you can tell they didn't put any work into it.
