In fact, I don't think I've even seen a single Mickey Mouse cartoon...
- k-mcgrady 10y agoWatched tonnes of Looney Tunes growing up on British TV. Never seen a Mickey cartoon and I've always been curious if there even were any besides a few when Disney first started.
- riprowan 10y agoI'll take Bugs Bunny and the Roadrunner v Wile. E. Coyote (supra-genius) over Disney any day of the week.
- Noos 10y agoof course, because those are adult cartoons filled with adult references a cultured person would get, and more or less robbed the 1940s for comedy. It's more about how dynamic 1940s culture was compared to our own, I think. If you go a bit later, to when they started doing new animation for Looney Tunes tv specials in the 70s and 80s, the cartoons got dumber as well.
