Before, the word “cartoon” would generally only be connected with detective dogs, multi-colored bears and ninja turtles made especially for kids to watch on Saturday mornings on your local channels .

It started with the impolite teenagers from “Beavis and Butt-head” and the crude youngsters from “South Park”. It seems like animation has garnered a following from those people who are old enough to watch live-action, but seem to find a unique appeal in cartoons instead.

 

In today’s trends of computer graphics as well as special effects in films and Television shows, where HDTV and 3-D has become a norm, it is really refreshing to know that people will still appreciate watching something as “low-tech” as 2-D animation. It seems that the point is not how “hi-tech” the animation is, but the fact that you are able to let a yellow cartoon person say something that would never fly if a true live actor said it.

 

Thanks to “The Simpsons” who laid the foundation on local channels, there’s no surprise nowadays that shows like “Family Guy” lead on satellite television Tv. But if you believe that Matt and Trey, the guys from the operation of “South Park”, would be less controversial in comparison to what Cartmann and his team does today, you might be wrong.  It seems like grownup cartoons will always be edgy.

Shows just like “The Life and Times of Tim” from HBO  is an animated series about a luckless man residing in New York in his mid-twenties and the progressively more awkward situations he gets into both in his work and private life.   The drawing looks like “Dr. Katz” however the dialogues will appeal towards the crowd that follows “The Office”. It will likely be worthwhile to attempt to watch an episode even if you’ve never wanted to see any other animated sequence in addition to “The Simpsons”.

 

So before crossing out cartoons off your own viewing list and leaving it to the youngsters, you might like to try searching at the latest trends of animated series with 2-D that survive and flourish in the middle of the constantly progressing technology of film and TV.
