I wish to register a complaint
Last night i watched the 100 greatest cartoons on Channel4, because as is traditional for Sunday evenings, there was bugger all else on. In retrospect it was a mistake, because before i watched that, i watched 'The Grudge' (American version, subtitles give me a headache), which is the only horror film ever that I'm refusing to watch again on the basis of it being too scary. Most horror films let anticipation build up between scares, but this one just hammers at you over and over again until you flinch every time someone moves. The combination of that and the cartoons left me dreaming about looking for Ziggy Marley to tell him about the one other cartoon character with a Jamaican accent (which i now can't remember) in a huge HMV type shop full of cartoon characters who kept turning into grey dead Japenese people with soul sucking eyes making a 'rrrrrrrrrt' noise and dislocating thier limbs.
It was also a bad idea because they put in a whole bunch of things that were stop-motion animation rather than cartoons, and left out all the following which are much better than a lot of the ones they put in:
Daria
Stressed Eric
Captain Planet (still our hero, still needed)
Around the World with Willie Fogg (still remember all the words to the theme tune)
Angry Beavers
Count Duckula
Batfink
The Snorks
The Smurfs
Mysterious Cities Of Gold
Jem and the Jet Set
Brace Face (she has cow pyjamas)
Alvin and the Chipmunks
And Barbar gets in? Sinners...
