11 Amazing Themes From Classic Cartoons You Hopefully Haven't Forgotten

thundercats Like any self respecting man in his early to mid-twenties, I spent most of my early life in front of the magic box watching animated characters with all the amazement of a Victorian gentleman gazing upon the first steam train. Cartoons stood alongside fish fingers and chips as the main staple of my childhood diet, and I couldn't get enough of them. School playground talk would always consist of what the funniest cartoon was, and great intellectual debates about the merits of different theme songs were among the most hotly contested. Now that I am older, and yet no wiser, cartoon theme songs will invariably come up in conversation a lot.

Here are 11 of my personal favourite cartoon themes from childhood in no particular order. Be warned, viewing these slides may result in nauseating nostalgia and an inability to control smiling.
