Gantz, Watership Down, Animal Farm, Super Jail, and Urslua looks like my father’s mother, whom I hated, so I freaked the fuck out when my mom brought that VHS he.
You mean from the Disney Little Mermaid movie?
Yup, that’s the one.
Was Attack of the Killer Tomatoes real or did I dream that?
A series of movies & a Saturday morning cartoon show.
Either it’s real or we’re both from the same alternate universe.
Where there’s a cornucopia in the fruit of the loom logo.
I was a kid in the 90’s. It’d probably be easier to list the normalest cartoons. Like Doug.
Freakazoid, possibly. Or Toxic Avenger. Though the latter is more insane that they turned the original concept into something for kids in the first place.
The Last Unicorn. Runner up, The Rats of Nymn.
The Secret of Nimh is one of my favorite movies.
I thought that was “The Secret of Nickel Metal Hydride” for the longest time.
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
Duckman, though that was not for kids.
Ren and Stimpy and Rocko’s Modern Life both had stuff that was bizarre and only allowed in a kid’s show because it was over their heads.
Batman TAS and Gargoyles both had some heavy shit. The latter also had a guy die by having fire erupt from behind his eyeballs, and a scene where a surgeon explains a gunshot wound in visceral detail. God I love that show.
The original sonic cartoon is like a chili dog induced fever dream
Will check out
You mean Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog? I love Robotnik in that show!
Yeah that’s the one, with the surreal desert backgrounds like krazy kat comics
I’ll have to take a look at Krazy Kat
Danger Mouse - I think the consistent 4th wall breaking, kidnapping narrators, and sense of humour as a whole had an effect on my from a formative age.
Monkey Dust - the cartoon that made it clear to me that cartoons weren’t not at all nesseccarily safe for kids. I was too young to appreciate it at the time, it was too disturbing for tween me.
Sealab 2021 and Excel Saga both crazy animations that I found easier to digest about that time, too.
Watership Down, other folks have already mentioned.
Muran Buschstansangur
Grave of fireflies
I think for me it was Robot Chicken that would play late at night
I have no idea when I first saw it but I loved it right away! I definitely loved it when Family guy would do anything claymation or with action figures like Dwayne Johnson showing Peter and Lois “having sex”
Do Saturday Night Live skits count?
The Ambiguously Gay Duo
I’ll allow it
Watership Down.
Was visiting relatives and we rented movies from a tiny video store that didn’t have a lot of options or kids, so we got that and Crocodile Dundee.
Dundee was fun. The bunnies were less so.
My husband is still scarred by that one.
Watership Down was what traumatized me on seeing blood in cartoons. Cartoons and blood just…dont mix.

Probably the Toxic Crusaders, but only after watching the movie it’s based on.
The cartoon itself is just another knockoff TMNT, which was the style at the time. I have no idea how someone showed a board of directors the Toxic Avenger in the early 90s and said, we should take this and make it a cartoon for children.
I’m so glad all this shit got greenlighted tho, tv in the 90’s was wild, especially for kidz
