Everyone, at some point in their life, has loved cartoons. For many, their childhoods were shaped by bright colors, zany comedy, and thrilling heroics. There are some viewers that still love cartoons today. And with such a wide variety in terms of what animation can show and the stories it can tell, it's easy to see why.
Much like most aspects of pop culture in the 1990s, cartoons of that decade are often thought of as the very best by the kids who grew up then. The 90s saw the rise of superhero cartoons from the likes of Marvel, DC, and even independent comic companies. Even those based on entirely original ideas found success.
But with companies like Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, the decade also saw a mass wave of fantastically hilarious animated shows as those two studios knew how important this style of entertainment could be to children everywhere. It's no wonder that there are many adults today who would defend even the most ridiculous cartoons of the 90s simply because of how much they meant to them at the time.
There have obviously still been great cartoons released since the 90s came to an end. But there's something so special (and in the cases of some, disturbing) about 90s cartoons. And if one didn't grow up watching these, they might find it difficult to name many of them.
What cartoon is this boy from?
There are several cartoons that undoubtedly defined the childhoods of those growing up in the 1990s. But this anime series is much bigger than a show.

It takes place in a world where people train creatures with various powers to battle, working as a team to achieve glory. The show focuses on a boy named Ash Ketchum as he sets out on his quest to be the best trainer there ever was and is still releasing episodes and movies today. What is it called?

There's his best friend, Patrick the Starfish, who's as dumb as the rock he lives under. There's Squidward, a grumpy squid he works with and also lives next door to. There's also Sandy, a squirrel from Texas who decided to live underwater. What is the name of this show?
What is this animated superhero show?
Compared to how long comic books have been around, it took filmmakers and TV producers an awfully long time to realize how popular media based on them could be. The 1990s saw several popular shows from both Marvel and DC debut to fan acclaim. This DC show is still one of the most fondly remembered today. It focused on DC's caped crusader as he protected Gotham and it served as an introduction to some of his most notorious villains for many viewers. The most popular was the Joker, menacingly voiced by Mark Hamill. What is the name of this DC show?
What cartoon focused on three superpowered girls?
Not every superpowered TV series was based on an existing property. This one came from a completely original idea. After creating three daughters in a lab by adding all the obvious ingredients (sugar, spice, and everything nice), a scientist accidentally spilled Chemical X into the formula. Thus, his three daughters would be born as superheroes. Bubbles, Buttercup, and Blossom can all fly, move incredibly quickly, and have super strength. Genndy Tartakovsky, who created many beloved cartoons of the 1990s and would go on to create the "Hotel Transylvania" movie series, helped bring this show to life. What is the name of this show?
Which cartoon focused on a group of babies?
A show that focused on a group of babies may not sound interesting. But in the wonderful world of animation, anything can be. Debuting in 1990, this show was one of Nickelodeon's first big hits. It followed a group of toddlers, led by Tommy, as they went on adventures around his house. The fun came from seeing how they perceived things that adults found normal but that they found strange or just flat out didn't understand.

What is this show that focuses on a team of superheroes?
Marvel had its fair share of success with animated TV shows in the 1990s, too. This particular series, based on one of their most famous properties, followed a team made of mutants.

What was the name of this show?
What is this show based on a comic?
There were plenty of other comic shows in the 1990s that didn't come from Marvel or DC. One of the most beloved that came from a different publisher focused on four crime-fighting turtles who had been genetically mutated. The show may have premiered in the late 80s, but it was the following decade that saw the love behind the turtles reach its peak.

What show are these four boys from?
With the rise of "The Simpsons" came other animated shows that weren't created for kids. The difference between this show and "The Simpsons," however, is pretty astounding. It follows four close friends in their small, closely-knit town in Utah as they go on hilarious misadventures. The characters of the show swear like sailors and the show is packed to the brim with crude, over-the-top humor. The show is still going and constantly receives backlash. But with a feature film and two video games that have been spun off from it, it's clear how popular it is. What show are these four boys from?
What show is this family from?
Another show that seemed to be born from the success of "The Simpsons," this show also focused on a dysfunctional family. But the humor here is a bit darker. The father, Peter Griffin, is certainly as dim-witted as Homer Simpson, but many jokes also come from his insensitivity. And unlike the baby in "The Simpsons," Stewie Griffin talks quite a lot, though most often to the dog, Brian, who can talk himself. The show has become famous for featuring cutaway jokes that don't have anything to do with the main plot of the episode. What is the name of this series?
What Disney show is this group of friends from?
Many Disney shows of the 1990s may have focused on their existing properties like Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck, but this show was something original. It focused on a group of kids as they pursued something that most kids could relate to: wanting anything but to be stuck in a classroom. Each member of the group had their own personality, like the sports-obsessed Vince or the tomboy Spinelli. But together they were always formulating ways to make their outside breaks last just a bit longer. The show was also given a feature-length movie in 2001. What is this show called?

What show focused on a futuristic Batman?
"Batman: The Animated Series" could only take the Dark Knight so far and eventually had to come to an end. But that didn't mean DC couldn't tell stories within that universe.

The boy was surrounded by an interesting cast of characters such as his kooky grandpa, his easy-going best friend and coolest kid in school, Gerald, and his tormentor, Helga, who was so secretly in love with him that she kept a shrine in her closet. What is the name of this show?
What show is this adventurous family from?
While many cartoons of the 90s were set in urban landscapes that were fictionalized versions of places in real life, this show was set in the exotic wilderness.

From the normal to the abnormal, this animated show aired on Nickelodeon in the mid-90s and focused on wacky adventures of a wallaby. While the things he dealt with weren't strange, it was the zany writing and characters that made it so. The wallaby had two best friends: Heffer, a cow raised by wolves, and Filbert, a nervous wreck of a turtle. There were also his neighbors, two toads, one of whom was always cranky and looking down on the wallaby. Similar to "The Ren & Stimpy Show," this series featured humor that was almost too adult for kids. What is it called?

It focused on an elderly couple living in the middle of nowhere and their pet dog who, despite being spooked by slightly loud noises, always had to protect them from various otherworldly threats.

What was the name of this funny cartoon?
One thing that many cartoons of the 1990s had was the inclusion of a dumb character. They were often the funniest as their stupidity was something kids took tremendous joy in watching. But this series took that character type and put it in the spotlight. It focused on a dumb beefcake who thought he was a gift upon humanity and much more manly than he really was.

What Nickelodeon show are these kids from?
Kids can be pretty rambunctious alone, but a group of them can cause utter chaos.

This hero has no memory of his life before he began fighting crime and is eccentric to say the least. He has super strength and is essentially invulnerable, but is a satire of most superheroes.

What is the name of this beloved anime series?
