The first season of My Little Pony (stigma or not) was really great, too. It was headed by Lauren Faust who was behind The Powerpuff Girls.
She recently did Super Best Friends Forever, which was just as great: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7ging4Nqww http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7ging4Nqww.
Bruce Timm, who was involved in Batman: TAS, and later The Adventures of Superman, and then Justice League Animated, is now doing Green Lantern, all of which are excellent.
I don't think we should get too wistful, because a lot of the greats are still around making material on par with some of their earlier, classic work.
I remember watching interviews Vince Gilligan, who went from writing for X-Files (and Lone Gunmen) to Breaking Bad, and back in the days of X-Files, the budgets were just obscene, which allowed them to do whatever they want. The now-ancient Superman cartoons also had a by our standards insane budget, and a lot of that probably explains why today feels slightly different, nostalgia aside. I mean, just consider back when Tom & Jerry and Donald Duck cartoons employed entire orchestras to score the sketches.

- Aardwolf 14y agoI remember accidently seeing My Little Pony on TV in the 90's while zapping for good cartoons. It was something with flying pink pony's with long hair that looked all girly to me. Why do I hear so much about My Little Pony on the internet these days?
- kmfrk 14y agoIt was rebooted (is that the right word) a few years ago. Lauren Faust had to quit the project, unfortunately, and the show isn't very interesting now, but you definitely should check out the first season. It is unironically one of the best cartoons out there.
