*** It's even more awesome considering that ExecutiveMeddling forced the team to scap THE ENTIRE ORIGINAL PREMISE FOR THE FILM and make into pop comedy to compete with Dreamworks, AND IT DIDN'T SUCK! That's a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for the company as far as this tropers conscerned!

* SymBionicTitan. As if Genndy Tartakovsky didn't prove himself enough as a great director, this show just enforces it! Great, likable characters, fantastic writing and directing, great comic timing, awesome battles, and something I haven't seen in a western animated series for years: A VILLAIN WHO SCARES THE LIVING S**T OUT OF ME! And as if that wasn't enough, there's actual continuity and character development! And as if THAT weren't enough, episode 10 ends with a giant robot fighting a giant monster WITH AN 80'S LOVE BALLAD PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND! It may not be as artistically done as SamuraiJack, but when you worst complaint you have for a show is "it's not SamuraiJack", you know you have something good on your hands!

** This Troper will state why, outside of catchy tunes and hilarious moments, this show has a genuine heart to it. No one is truly mean, not even the bully and especially not the "Evil" scientist. Refreshing for a kids show. The episode that sums it all up is "Summer Belongs To You." I'm not going to spoil anything but it shows just how well the characters interact and how optimistic the show is.

* Can't believe there's no mention of ''TheRenAndStimpyShow'' yet. No show, earlier or later used DerangedAnimation so gleefully and ''amazingly'' well. It was pure entertaining to watch with its' nonsensical sense of humour, StatusQuoIsGod taken UpToEleven, unforgettable characters that became the basis of a [[TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy cartoonish]] [[TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack duo]], beautiful, smooth and loose animation, and popularising the controversial GrossoutShow and GrossUpCloseUp. This show is an innovative classic that every cartoon fan should be familiar with.

** Agreed, this troper was shown a clip of the show by a friend and instantly fell in love with it. I then proceeded to watch every last episode on Youtube, and despite being on the idealistic end of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism, it still managed to keep the balance of action and drama with comedy and slapstick perfectly balanced. The show has some of the most memorable characters to come out of Disney's vaults, both heroes and villains.

** TheEmperorsNewGroove succeeded by being a departure from the typical Disney style with hilarious LampshadeHanging, brilliant use of the SubvertedTrope, and copious amounts of BreakingTheFourthWall, and yet it still retained the endearing character relationships of Disney. It certainly is a very creative and original work especially in Disney context.

**** I love {{American Dragon Jake Long}} as well. It's a shame that so many people are quick to call it terrible because of Jake's JiveTurkey, because there is so much that is fantastic about the series. For one, for a Disney Channel show, it pushed the envelope dramatically with the Jake and Rose storyline. Second, unlike most Disney Channel villains like [[Kim Possible Dr. Drakken]] or [[Dave the Barbarian The Dark Lord Chuckles the Silly Piggy]], the villains were more threatening than comical, which as someone who likes villains, I think is awesome. Third, the show has so many story arcs throughout the two seasons that there is actually a real story going on in the series, which is pretty rare for a Disney show. Most Disney Channel shows are OnceAnEpisode or MonsterOfTheWeek shows.

** Seconded! The humor was not half bad, some of the plots were hilarious, and Tuddrussell and Larry's relationship was a delicious ice topping! The old-married-couple-like bickering, the seemingly venomous insults, the pranks and nuisances they did to each other and the occasional [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Crowning Moments Of Heartwarming]] were all extremely entertaining and provided hours of great fun to this troper both as a kid and now.

* [[AdventureTimeWithFinnAndJake Adventure Time.]] Seriously. Outside of Chowder and Flapjack, this is the best show CartoonNetwork has had in ''ages'': amazing animation, unique characters, and an offbeat sense of humor. Not to mention the [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar crapload of stuff it gets away with]]. Granted, not everyone may understand the show, but it has a large [[PeripheryDemographic teenage fanbase]]. The show was originally headed to Nickelodeon, but they wanted to water it down because it was [[WallBanger '''too weird''']]; [[NetworkToTheRescue Cartoon Network greenlit it a few years later]] and gave Pen Ward more creative fredom, slapping it with a [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids TV-PG rating]]. I commend CN for making such a bold move.

** [[OverlyLongGag Sixthded...ed...ded.]] I pretty much didn't begin watching it until right when it got cancelled off Fox, only viewing it on Adult Swim. Before that I only caught a few seconds at a time, as back then I doubt my parents would want me to watch such a show. But boy am I glad to have become a fan. I love every episode, even the newer ones which I, too, were afraid would be less good. [[InvaderZim My other favorite show]] will most likely never be un-canceled, but Futurama's return is glorious enough to make up for it. Anyone else's ''jaw drop'' when they first heard that ''four'' full-length movies were coming out? It had been hard for me to believe...

* ''WinxClub'' This trope loves ''WinxClub'', despite [[GuiltyPleasures being aimed at 6-12 year old girls]]. It's simply impossible not to love it: practically every character is also comedy.quirky, likeable, and important to the show, there are funny moments, dramatic moments, epic moments and the battle scenes are ''impressive'', and here's the best part: There's absolutely no UnresolvedSexualTension, no WillTheyOrWontThey, no LoveTriangle...seeing stable pairings from the very beginning is a refreshing change.

Barkin and Itchy Itchiford, respectively. Overall, it is a film that is dark, hilarious, sad, and heartwarming at the same time, a combination that everyone should try. Plus, it is as much for adults as it is for kids.
