Big cartoon guy. I argue cartooning and animation are America's true art form.
While it seems the "Golden Era" of cartoons is behind us, here at Atlas Bravo we are here to help you navigate the catalogs and find these gems of lost media again.
Sit back, unplug the phone, and grab some cereal :D

MEN IN BLACK "THE SERIES" (1997)
Originally aired on Kids WB from October 11, 1997. The show features characters from the film Men In Black, which was based on the comic book created by Lowell Cunningham
Originally published by Marvel/Malibu Comics. The series was produced by Adelaide Productions, a division of Columbia/Tristar as a half-hour series. Originally airing on Saturday mornings, and later moved to weekdays during its final season.
AB Take: Luh this shit. "AGENT JAYYYYYY!"
BATMAN "THE ANIMATED SERIES" (1992)
Receiving praise for its writing, art design, voice acting, orchestrated soundtrack, and modernization of Batman source material.
After the series ended its original run, a follow-up titled The New Adventures of Batman began airing on Kids WB in 1997 as a continuation of the series, featuring a revamped animation style. Lasting 24 episodes, it has often been included in the same syndicated re-run packages and home media releases as the final season.
AB Take: Top 3 for me.
Fun fact the first seasons were drawn on black paper. IMO it is what gives the animation the charm, depth, and grit. Not to mention the beautiful Art Deco Gotham. 20/10 :D
Stream: Boo pay-walled. HBO.
JOHNNY QUEST. (1969)
Produced by Hanna-Barbera for Screen Gems, created and designed by the late comic book artist Doug Wildly.
The show was inspired by radio serials and action-adventure comics, the show featured more realistic art, human characters, and stories than Hanna-Barbera's previous cartoon programs.
AB Take: The art work is like a warm blanket. 40/10 MUST WATCH.
Stream: Boo pay-walled. Boomerang.
SECRET SQUIRREL (1965)
Secret Squirrel Show, which debuted in 1965 on Saturday mornings. The character was given his own show in 1966, titled The Secret Squirrel Show, but was reunited with Atom Ant for one more season in 1967. The half-hour program included three individual cartoon segments: "Secret Squirrel and Morocco Mole", "Squiddly Diddly" and "Winsome Witch." Secret Squirrel was a parody of the spy genre, and most of the shorts parodied elements of the James Bond films.
AB Take: Love, Love, Love this shit. 3 Thumbs up.
