When you think of cartoons, you think of animation that is a light-hearted source of entertainment with comic relief. Even though most cartoons are generally created for kids, it is surprising how often deeper topics and more mature themes are added to it by its creators.
Considering the fact that the target audience for most cartoons consumes its content during their formative years, these shows play a huge role in shaping us and making us the people we are. It might not be easy for kids to catch a lot of the undertones and emotional complexities prevalent in the cartoons of the 90s, but they tend to permeate into the subconscious quite easily. As for the adults who were kids when the cartoons aired but are now on a rewatch spree with streaming services at their disposal, having a superhero to look up to is cool but it is even cooler when the superhero who can destroy any evil has the same complexities in their emotions as them.
The greatest feat about the cartoons in the 90s was the fact that censorship wasn’t as heavy as it is today. Creators got away with a lot of implied adult humor, which is something very prevalent in shows such as Nickelodeon’s Spongebob Squarepants. They would also use cartoons as means of social commentary or as means of emotional release.
In this video, we will talk about eleven such animated series from the 90s that are often intense and mature, with darker undertones than you would expect from a generic cartoon for kids.
