The 90s where the golden age of cartoons.
How many of these do you remember?

I recognise about 95% of them, and must have watched about 90%. Ah, those were the days. Kinda surprised he didn't include the Marvel Superhero cartoons (Spider-Man, X-Men etc), since those were pretty much the best things coming out of Marvel during the 90s. Also, I don't know what surprised me more-That he filled a half hour out of them, or that I can remember some he missed out. Toxic Crusaders, Skeleton Warriors, Botz Master, T-Rex, Earthworm Jim, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, The Addams Family, Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, White Fang, Mech Warrior (I'm sure they made a cartoon of it), Trollz (the original one dammit. Not the current girly giant hair magical power ones, the rocking muscle men with instruments that transformed into giant weapons), The Dream Stone...though I guess some of those could be from the 80s. Thanks for the nostalgia fest, Truro. Now to watch that 80s cartoon intros video!

I'd seen the 80's one before, forgot to watch the 90's one. Shouldn't this just be in the "Classic Kids' Shows" thread or something? It doesn't seem like the kind of thing that warrants its own thread to me.

Trollz (the original one dammit. Not the current girly giant hair magical power ones, the rocking muscle men with instruments that transformed into giant weapons) Stone protectors? Ah I remember that one. I remember one episode were they used the same plot as one episode of Mario Brothers (A chance to go home "One way trip, with no return!") And they pass it up to go back and rescue the princess.

I remember a lot of those cartoons.
I enjoy this video, it brings back good memories. Even now I still enjoy those cartoons.

From the looks of things, I think was more a fan of Disney's various cartoon series from the early 90's - Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop, Tale Spin, plus the lesser remembered Bonkers. WB's stuff like Tiny Toons was good, but they were never as plot-orientated as the Disney 'toons.
There's some like Dragon Warrior, Mad Max, Sam & Max and Gargoyles that I've heard of but don't recall watching. I swear some of them never even aired here in the UK. Nor do remember this The Critic - looks like some sort of forerunner to Family Guy.
The Hurricanes, Peter pan & The Pirates, Potsworth & Co (The Dream Zone) and the Moomins would have made good inclusions. Seeing as it's mostly American shows in there, that's probably why the Dream Stone wasn't included, Alaric.
Still, this 90's compilation was enjoyable, it made for nostalgic viewing, so cheers for sharing the link Truro. I'll be checking out the 80's one mentioned when I get chance.

Nor do remember this The Critic - looks like some sort of forerunner to Family Guy. The Critic actually aired in the UK late at night on Paramount Comedy years ago, back around '95 or 96, which was when I last remember seeing it. It's also had a few crossovers with The Simpsons, where Jay Sherman came to Springfield to do the Film Festival, and one where he makes a minor appearance in an asylum going " It stinks, it stinks, it stinks!" And on The Critic itself, Jay and a friend are seen going to a fancy dress party as Homer and Marge. The host doesn't recognise him, and announces Jay being " The Bald Gay Man."

I've heard of the Critic. I've read Matt Groening hates it for some reason.
I remember the obsecure ones like Toxic Crusaders (which was loosley based on the movie Toxic avanger. The cartoon was about a cleaner who became a mutant then joined forces with other mutants to battle evil mutants), T-rex (this is a rare show. Does anyone remember it? I used to love it. It's simillar to Ninja Turtles) and Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm which is more like the first movie than the games.

I remember a lot of them, most notably Sonic, back to the Future and Aladdin. However, there were a few favorites of mine I don't think I saw on there like TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck, and The Wild West C.O.W.Boys of Moo Mesa (Which I'm planning to make music videos on this summer so be on the look out!).

I've heard of the Critic. I've read Matt Groening hates it for some reason. Really? I know he disliked the Simpsons/Critic crossover, but I would have thought he'd like the show itself. I remember it. I even mentioned it in that post up there. However, there were a few favorites of mine I don't think I saw on there like TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck, and The Wild West C.O.W.Boys of Moo Mesa The first two were definitely on there, one after the other even (check the 5:17 mark). I don't even know what that last one is.
