Whatever happened to intelligent cartoons? I am currently visiting my person in Huntsville and while lounging on the couch a Spiderman cartoon came on. What has happened to American cartoons?
I felt like I was watching a train wreck in slow motion--it was drawn out and helpless. I also have to ask, have cartoons become this asinine because viewers prefer dumbed down versions of the archetypes we know and respond to, or is it because no one is watching any more and tv stations must now appeal to the low-intelligence, easy to grab audience members? Is this what many people enjoy? An I simply being too persnickity concerning my cartoon entertainment options?
So many questions, so few answers.
This is a really good question. And a possible paper topic; comparing modern cartoons such as the Justice League or Spiderman ones to the older ones like Looney Tunes.
