Cartoons have really changed!
This weekend I spent the mornings catching some cartoons with my son and wow, not anything like I remember growing up.  And the ear worm theme songs… I’ve had the “Blue’s Clues and You” song in my head for the last two days.  But does the fact that I miss the classics just make me some cranky old guy?  Don’t get me wrong, it is catchy when the Bubble Guppies wrap about going outside or sing their time for lunch song, but I will still always love “Meet the Flinstones”, the “Fraggle Rock” theme song and will always be a sucker for “Merrie Melodies” with Bugs and the gang.

Lately the big push has been to turn classic cartoons in to live action films.  I have to say it is neat to see a cartoon come to life, but will the live movies ever be as good as the animated version?

Now I have not gone back to the theatre yet since they reopened, but when I do, I know popcorn is a must.  Have you ever wondered why popcorn and movies go so well together?  Basically, it started when movies got sound and became really popular during the Great Depression.  For those of you curious like I was, here you go.

One of the best songs to come from a cartoon has to be this stone age classic.
