Animated TV Shows That Prove The 90s Were The Golden Age of Cartoons

One of the best parts of childhood is watching cartoons. As a matter of fact, the child within adults always enjoys an episode of Tom and Jerry or Oggy and the Cockroaches.

Growing up as 90s kids, we didn’t have a lot on our plate. Except, of course watching everything that was on TV. And there was so much good stuff. Unlike the stupid cartoons, kids these days are forced to endure.

Cartoons are an integral part of the growing up process. Even today, if given a chance (and time of course), we would love to watch them. Fights over remote controls, skipping meals or eating meal in front of our favourite cartoon series is a familiar sight in every household having kids. 

Check out these cartoons that made childhood during 90s awesome! By the end of it, we are sure you are gonna feel nostalgic!
