The Jungle Book
I used to view the jungle book cartoon continuously. It was one of the best kids shows. My goodness, how cute Mowgli looked! It depicted the story of a boy brought up by the talking animals living in the forest, especially Bagheera (panther) and Baloo (bear). The voice, the characters, music, everything was just excellent in it. This show presented the love between animals and humans. It also taught the kids that animals can also be good friends and are not always harmful.
The Arabian Nights
The Arabian night’s stories are some of the world’s massive reserves. They consist of stories told in Asian countries like Persia, Arabia, and India. Aladdin, the hero of this story and Agrabah, continued his expeditions with the help of Princess Jasmine, his fiancee, his pet monkey Abu, magic carpet, Iago the greedy parrot, and his best as well as sweet friend Genie who lived in a lamp. These tales conveyed a great sense of venture, truth, superb imagination, justice, faith and love.
Popeye
Children who did not like to eat spinach, Popeye, who was a sailor, had become an inspiration for them. He inspired the kids to eat spinach so that they can become stronger and face difficulties easily. How childish that was! It worked for many and was an excellent enjoyable show in which he loved Olive Oil and always tried to impress her by overcoming any obstacle. Bluto was also a character who too loved Olive Oil. Both Popeye and Bluto used to keep on fighting to please her. The love triangle was a good one and funny.
Tom and Jerry
Tom and Jerry, one of the best evergreen television shows, portrays comedic fights between the cat and the mouse. Tom always tries all sorts of ideas to catch Jerry. But most of the time, he fails, because of Jerry’s intelligence, abilities, and fate. On the other hand, there have been times where real friendship seen between the two characters. Even now, everyone enjoys watching the love-hate relationship between the two.
Duck Tales
“Duck Tales”, the cartoon series that filled many of our childhoods with amusement, told the story of a duck Scrooge Chuck, who was one of the richest ducks in the world and yet he persistently kept on finding ways to increase his wealth. He also had three cute grandnephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, who were left in Scrooge’s house when Donald went to join the Navy.
Disney’s Adventures of the Gummi Bears
The Gummi bear is the story of tiny and cute looking gummi bears that lived in a hollow tree called gummi glen. They produced gummiberries that grew in the forest and made a great juice of it. This juice made them durable enough to defend themselves from enemies. The way they used to jump very high after drinking the milk was surprising.
Dexter’s Laboratory
Dexter’s laboratory is the story of a short and genius boy who has a hidden laboratory in his house. He has an elder sister, Dee Dee who escapes from all securities and enters his lab. The show depicts the experiments made in the lab by Dexter. It also shows the love between brother and sister.
The Powerpuff Girls
Does anyone remember Powerpuff girls? Yes, I am talking about the three super-powered cute little girls, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, the one who was always ready to save the world from monsters and villains like Mojo Jojo, and Fuzzy Lumpkins. They were born in a chemical lab by mistake when Professor Utonium was performing his experiments. These girls were a source of inspiration for girls that even they can stand against all the odds and the evils.
Pingu
Pingu, a cute little penguin, made of clay was very naughty and playful. He resided in Antarctica with his family where he played and made lots of mischief with his friend, Robby, the seal. The way he used to make loud squawking noise to grab attention or show his excitement or anger was incredible. His style of speaking was something like “mweep mweep”. It was enjoyable to see this cartoon. Not only kids but also elders loved to watch this.
I bet now after going through all these shows you must be thinking of watching them as well. Go on! Enjoy watching these best kids’ television shows. And keep coming back to the page!
