The top 10 cartoon theme songs of the '80s

While Saturday morning cartoons weren't anything new in the 1980s, it kind of feels like that's when they hit their peak. Producers had refined their strategies (improving upon the '60s and '70s), the stories balanced lightness with coolness (unlike the brightness of the '90s to come), and...

Personally, i liked this one very much: watched it subbed as a kid on TV (French audio).

I think it's from the 80s, though it might be from earlier.

Yeah, remember that.

The game is actually quite modern:

Know what sucks? When old people talk about cartoons they liked as a kid, and they were made after I stopped watching cartoons...

You stopped watching cartoons? Well there's your problem. Even the ones ashamed of it just have kids...

I didn't really like the 80s cartoons I saw bits of. Spongebob's pretty cool for a new(Yea, yea. I know) cartoon.

Gotta go for the more intellectual stuff. Lots of modern shows are really good, but even from the 90s you get stuff like animaniacs, reboot, gargoyles, probably a few others I'm sure I'm forgetting.

 

[brianmanahan]

it's probably a tie between duck tales

and tale spin

 

[brianmanahan]

oh actually, maybe gummy bear adventures...

 

[AdamK47]

Not 1980s, but close. 1992

 

[MrSquished]

I loved me the danger mouse!

This theme will always stick with me

Animaniacs was my sister and I's favorite cartoon for a while. They were a riot.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

Early 90s but I'm still posting it anyways

There was a sequel of this cartoon in 2012: the game likely was released around that time.

Really.

Nobody even remembers stuff like TerryToons or Underdog or Tom and Jerry. There was a bunch of black and white stuff from the 30s and 40s that ran quite a bit in the 60s on mornings.

my grandma had a couple of VHS tapes, each loaded with 50 cartoons from the 40s through 60s

when she didn't want to keep a close eye on 5 kids for a couple hours, she'd put one of those in

i watched a bunch of tom & jerry, road runner, bugs bunny, popeye, superman, and a little WW2 stuff thrown in for good measure

You gotta be kidding me with Tom and Jerry here. They've released 8 Tom & Jerry games in the last 20 years alone. And they did an Underdog movie in 2007.
