Very few things take us back to our childhood days like old cartoons. From television to movie animated series' and features to the black and white comics on the newspaper, they always elicit a very personal smile from us. There is something about cartoons that connect with our most primal emotions. They were there when we grew up and offered us our very own world. They made our imaginations race and entertained us for hours. But more than just being entertaining, they were also our first lessons in life. They packaged social compulsions and basic ideas in a package that appealed to us. Aren't you glad that you can look back at old favorites through watching old cartoons online ? We take little breaks from work or spend hours in the weekend just watching the shows that helped us grow as we remember why we like them so much and what they mean to us.
Remember those after bath sessions where you were glued to the morning toons while your mom powdered and dressed you? Or when you were not allowed to go out after 5PM and thus spent the early evening glued to the TV. Or the moments where you panting while trying real hard to get to your friends house first where you watched your favorite show. Or how you made up adventures and tea parties playing as your favorite character. Or when you spent breakfast with the family reading the dailies, dad with his business section, mom with her lifestyle section and you with your funny comic strips. These are nuggets of memories that will stay with you forever. They played a part in turning you into who you are now. Whenever you see a familiar drawing or hear those electronic sounding theme songs, you will smile and remember.
To a child, cartoons are life lessons. And now, as you take care of your own kid, make sure that you watch funny cartoons with him. Use these shows and movies as a vehicle for you to grow closer. Have great fun as you act out the characters form these cartoons and play with him in his exciting adventures with the Power Rangers. Relive your childhood days and share his. Make sure that he enjoys every second of being a kid. A lot of the newer cartoons are made with computers and are very sophisticated. But whether an actual hand drew them or an artist in front of the computer gave them life, cartoons will always play a very important role in our lives as a teacher.
