  • One thing I'm super proud of is his ability to handle subbed content. We saw a three-hour stage performance of Spirited Away in Japanese, and he read through the whole thing no problem. I'll definitely look into these, and I do think he's about ready for original Dragonball!

  • I did try a little Ren and Stimpy on him, I think I'm gonna wait a bit on that one - wife's advice. That said, you've mentioned a lot that nobody else has, and I can't believe I haven't shown him Doug yet!

  • One thing is for sure, I seriously need some gen 1 Transformers. My fav is still Transformers Prime, despite the janky CGI Blum's voice acting really does it for me.

    I'll get some Patlabor and make an assessment before showing him, generally as long as there's a happy ending there's not much he can't handle.

  • Holy smokes. I missed the boat on TDI's original run, thanks for the suggestions!

  • Pirates of Dark Water and Family Dog look right up my street, thanks! How could I forget about Two Stupid Dogs?! We do already have Cow and Chicken, by my wife hates it lmao

  • It wasn't a commercial success because all the adverts were targeted at too young an audience. It should have been presented for what it is, which is goofy and random enough for kids and genuinely twisted enough for grownups.

  • You make some solid points, if I'm willing to tolerate the California Raisins he should at least see some of these. We'll do a retro theme one day and hit all of these, likely.

  • I'm def adding Thundercats, Talespin, and X-Men, but COPS is a hard no lmao. I didn't even know that existed though, that's hilarious. Is M.A.S.K. good or hilariously bad?

  • Oh shit! I guess that means I'll have to show him Osmosis Jones too. Haha, I wonder if it holds up.

  • I should get original Animaniacs, the new stuff is alright but I have no excuse not to have the classics. We have Batman TAS, but I'd totally overlooked the others. Thanks!!

  • That's a stunning list, thank you!

    My own personal prejudice I guess, I feel like the laziness of the animation and writing of that era set back the whole medium, made it "just trash for kids" in a lot of people's minds.

  • Thanks! The newer DuckTales is in this list, we finished that earlier this year. The older stuff I haven't gotten to yet. I definitely need to get Chip & Dale, haven't seen that stuff in centuries, feels like.

    We're fairly permissive with scary/intense stuff, our true north isn't PEGI or ESRB so much as Don Bluth's admonition that kids can handle anything, as long as there's a happy ending. He found Robot Dreams (2023) way more traumatic than Ghostbusters (1984), and that's just a story about growing apart and making new friends. He's very self aware, and will tell us when something's too much to handle.

    I should get Macross, yeah. I never saw that one actually. Thanks!
