    All the above posts are perfectly good reasons why these iconic animation masterpieces have left our screens but perhaps in the end they just went too far, this is the toon that sealed daffy's fate It's only a few seconds long but worth a look.

    It's all about being PC, Donald duck was taken off tv because they wouldn't draw him with pants on and he was deemed to be seen as pornographic,

    It's like WTF?

    There was a local lady that used to make golliwogs, big, well detailed ones. My kids never had one, just never took fancy to them. But the really good bit is that the lady in question was the largest, blackest person you could ever hope to meet. If you'd suggested to her that there were racist overtones to the dolls she would have smacked you silly.

    Good animated cartoons simply cannot be cost effective.
    You want quality stuff, try some old russian cartoons.
    Some of them are available on youtube with fairly decent translations.

Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule

    And here is a slightly newer one.

    And this one is probably not very good for kids. I came across it by accident and laughed so hard I still have tears in my eyes
    NSFW
    Enjoy :-)

    Then why is he still on Telly sans pants, in 3D no less? Check out Saturday morning TV.

    The Last Airbender is pretty freaking good. Nice and Violent with multiple story arcs.

    Samurai Jack was awesome. The sound mixing and editing was out of this world.

    I think, as with most things KB, "The Great Sweeping Generalisation" on the back of "I've never/done/seen/heard this but I think it's terrible" has now brought it's ignorant steam roller to bear on (FFS) Children's Entertainment. Chowder is vastly more subversive than say, South Park. The laughter alternates between adult and kids when I sit down and watch it with them. We all get something completely different out of it. Spongebob is great fun but a bit puerile next to Chowder. Still, the Hasslehoff cameo in the Spongebob movie is either a brilliant cameo or one of the funniest Hasselhoff piss takes ever, second only to the eating the cheeseburger on the floor incident.

    The Wiggles live show is brilliant. They know darn well your kids are torturing you with multiple reruns between 3 years of age and 6 years old, and they do more than tip their hat to apologise.

    I love the existentialist, LSD trip inspired programming for under 3s that comes out of the UK. The Night Garden is particularly hilarious with one character with a misshapen skull who can't take two steps without falling on his face, never goes to bed on time, and carries a "blankey" with him everywhere. Another character pushes a cleaning trolley around polishing the rocks in the night garden, displaying all the fervour of a fully engaged OCD sufferer. Their transport options are hilarious. The Ninky Nonk is a road train with two and three story buildings on chassis with no suspension. The interior shots of characters being hurled hither and yon give a good insight into why one of them has a misshapen skull. The Pinky Ponk is a freaking Dirigible, complete with it's own crew of aliens, who are constantly having to avoid a tribe of rabid Toucans.

    Warner Brothers don't even get close to that sort of genius.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
