Yep. Cartoons peaked in the 90s. Strangely I think the peak of music was late 60s, 70s - at least rnb.
But cartoons reached a peak in the 90s
Adults was watching cartoons like crazy in the 90s. My dad and my friends parents were legit interested in our cartoons back then. Used to trip me out to walk in and our parents would be watching our cartoons when we weren't around.
My friends and I used to get a kick out of that
Cartoons were airing on Primetime back then. Remember when Batman: The Animated Series aired on Sunday Nights at 7pm? When X Men aired on Friday nights at 8pm on FOX? When they aired previews of new Disney cartoons on TGIF in the early Fall? Those were lasting impact on animation.
Nowadays, these cartoons are pure bullshyt and have nothing worthwhile to stand on.
