Ok Spitfire, this is for you since I don't feel like quoting every individual section.

First off you are twisting some of my words. You telling me that I haven't seen any other good drawn cartoons is not what I said. I said "cute looking" and I was only referring to what currently airs on Fox Saturday mornings only. Now, if you can point out another cartoon that airs Saturday mornings on Fox, then I will take back my statement.

Secondly, I know what 'dark cartoons' are. I am fully aware that by most standards, TMNT was not that 'dark'. However compared to what is currently airing on Fox Saturday mornings, it is the darkest. Perhaps they have resurrections on Yu-Gi-Oh or whatever, I honestly do not know? From what I have seen though, TMNT had the most serious toned atmosphere.

Animators, musicians, entertainers, etc. have a duty to produce projects which set good examples for the young minds that it is being broadcast to. Do you think anything will get better as long as they keep encouraging an ugly distorted world in their cartoons? This isn't the 1950's anymore. Parents are too busy working jobs to pay the bills and are no longer able to fully watch their children and make sure that they are not exposed to anything too violent.

Also, have you ever seen a Looney Tunes cartoon before? Are you aware that grenades, guns and explosives have been blown up in characters faces more times than can probably be counted? So do not say that Shokonabo's fate is that much worse than what has been going on for years. Although I cannot recall any 'kiddie' toons where someone's fingers were rotting off and their entire body was decaying right on screen. That seems a little more dark than anything in FF, wouldn't you say?

Finally, I am not young. In fact, I am 26. I judge an action cartoon by the action and choreographed fights. Do you watch action movies for just the love scenes?
