10 Best Cartoons of the 90's for Kids

A list of the best 90's cartoons for Kids.

Aaahh! Real Monsters - Before the movie 'Monsters, Inc.', there was this fun cartoon about monsters whose job it is to scare humans. The monsters in this cartoon are in scare school, however, and are just learning to scare humans. Easily scared Ickis was one of my favorite characters, but I also loved the way Krumm had to carry his eyeballs around in his hands. If your child is afraid of monsters under their bed, this cartoon might help them see the things that go bump in the night as a little more likeable.

Rugrats - Rugrats is one of Nickelodeon's best and most popular cartoons, and I really miss it. The cartoon answers the question: what if babies could talk? There are so many great characters in this cartoon: Tommy the brave, red-headed Chuckie the scaredy-cat, Angelica the evil older cousin, Phil and Lil the dirt-loving twins, and of course the adults who were almost always outwitted by their own children. I loved getting to see the many inventions of Tommy's father Stu, the crackpot toy inventor, and how the kids reacted to some of the faulty (and scary!) toys. My mom loved this show, and even when I got older and saw reruns of it, I still enjoyed it. It's just one of those cartoons that all generations can enjoy, and you don't come across those very often.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The concept of this cartoon is very odd: expose some sewer turtles to a mysterious green ooze, and they become lean, mean, teen fighting machines! I loved the fact that the four turtle characters all had very different personalities, but the best was Michelangelo, "the party dude", with his surfer dialogue and devil-may-care attitude. The turtles all had special weapons, were coached by a giant talking rat, were friends with a female reporter who was always running off to "powder her nose", and really loved their pizza. Let this show be a lesson to those trying to come up with kids' cartoons ideas: the weirder the premise, the better.

The Powerpuff Girls - With all of the male superheroes out there, it was about time for an all-girl fighting squad when 'The Powerpuff Girls' took Cartoon Network by storm. These poorly-drawn elementary students with superpowers were created in a lab by a professor who used sugar, spice, and everything nice. Oh yeah, he also accidentally added "Chemical X", which gave the girls their incredible superpowers. There was just something about these bubble-headed, big-eyed cuties that captured the imagination of girls, but the best of the characters was definitely girly-girl Bubbles, lover of all things cute and cuddly. The supervillains they fought were also pretty interesting: a monkey with a gigantic brain, an androgynous devil-like character, and 'The Gangreen Gang', a group of green, unhealthy-looking teens always out to corrupt the Powerpuff Girls.

Tiny Toon Adventures - This probably has to be my favorite out of all of the 90's cartoons on this list. There have been many cartoons that take popular cartoon characters and make younger versions of them, but this is by far the best to do so. Buster and Babs Bunny (no relation) were great characters, but my favorite was always troublemaker Plucky Duck. There was a mini-version of all of the classic Looney Tunes characters, including wacky Gogo Dodo, spinning Dizzy Devil, and, in the place of wabbit-hating Elmer Fudd, an avid rabbit hugger (to the point that she was dangerous), Elmyra Duff. I wish this show still came on now, because at the time it did, so many of the pop culture references went way over my little head.

Animaniacs - Like 'Tiny Toon Adventures', this cartoon was full of fun pop culture references. Of course Wackko, Yakko, and Dot were great as a Marx Brothers-esque trio that were locked away at Warner Bros. in the 1930's and unleashed on modern times (they did inspire a whole generation of children to walk around saying, "Hellloooo nurse!" to every woman they saw.) But my favorite characters in this great 90's cartoon were Pinky and the Brain, two laboratory mice on opposite ends of the I.Q. spectrum. Buttons the dog and his charge Mindy, who was always keeping him on his toes whilst chasing balloons, were also great, as was Chicken Boo (the chicken who thought he was a person), almost too-sexy for a kids' cartoon Minerva Mink, and the pigeons that thought they were starring in Francis Ford Coppola's great trio of films (or should I say, duo), the Goodfeathers.

Rocko's Modern Life - This bizarre cartoon about a wallaby and his unlikely friends, which included a tortoise and a male heifer, was almost a little too weird for me as a child, but it would pave the way for new Nicktoons like 'Sponegbob Squarepants' with its strange characters and storylines that could appeal to adults and children alike. Despite some of its gross-out humor (much of which had to do with body parts), 'Rocko's Modern Life' was actually a bit more sophisticated than 'Spongebob Squarepants', and I miss Rocko, his Woody Allen-esque friend, Filburt, and the slightly darker side of this ahead-of-its-time cartoon.

X-Men - I only started watching this great 90's cartoon take on the popular comic books because my brother was obsessed with it, and even though I was kind of lost as far as the storyline was concerned, I loved the sophisticated drawing in this cartoon, and I appreciated the fact that there were strong female characters in it, like Rogue, Storm, Mystique, Jean Grey, and Jubilee. It's one of the very few action cartoons I enjoyed as a girl.

Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers - I loved this modern take on the classic Disney duo of Chip and Dale, the adorable chipmunks that used to cause Pluto the dog so much angst. In this cartoon, they are part of a detective agency with two new mice pals and a pet fly named Zipper. Gadget was one of my favorite characters on the show, and I loved seeing what kind of fun inventions she would create using household items. Monterey Jack, the cheese-obsessed jolly mouse, was also a great addition to the team. Actually, my least-favorite part of the show was Chip and Dale's constant bickering!

Dexter's Laboratory - This popular 90's cartoon about a boy with a secret lab made it cool to like science...sort of. It was always fun to see what kind of crazy inventions self-proclaimed boy genius Dexter would come up with, and how his sister Dee Dee would screw them up. I also loved the other segments of the show that featured crime-fighting characters the Justice Friends and Monkey, the primate with a superhero secret identity. I guess I really appreciated this show, however, because my sister and brother acted almost exactly like Dee Dee and Dexter.

So take a trip down memory lane and rent some episodes of these great 90's cartoons from Netflix or buy some of the DVD's; you'll be surprised at how many more of the jokes you'll get now that you're older (and hopefully a little more like Brain and less like Pinky).
