1. Heck no.
I'm 49 and I like the ones that throw in jokes only us "old guys" get.

Like the time my nephew and niece were watching "The Powerpuff Girls," and I detest that show.
Then an episode came on, "Meet The Beat-Alls."

I looked, and I knew the joke right away, and as the cartoon went on, my nephew and niece were baffled, as to why I was laughing my head off.

2. I recently showed my 9 year-old niece 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit'...and she loved it
An appreciation for quality animation transcends age.

7. DH is the worst.
he loves adult swim- johnny bravo, sea lab 2000, inu yasha (sp?), all that stuff. he used to let the kids stay up late to watch with him. incorrigible.
i did sort of like taking the kids to see those movies, but when they outgrew it, i was ok with it. although the teenager still likes that stuff, too. had to take her to see "up" for her birthday. the last one i really liked was "monsters, inc."

29. "Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy" was specifically created to resemble the 40s Warner Bros. cartoons
except it's Canadian, suburban, totally lunatic, and appears to have been scored by Cab Calloway

31. Same class as you and I like 'em too.
The old ones of course !! I was at the dentist office watching Boomarang and a worker came and cut off the tv saying since all the children were gone she was going to cut it off. I said I was watching Power Puff Girls and I'd like to finish. She just huffed off with her little nose in the air. Twit.
