The 90’s was a time of great innovation in animation. The medium had been dominated by stand-alone episodes and simple storylines for decades. In the 90’s even the traditional networks’ programming pushed the envelope. More series with serialized storytelling were being told. An overall movement advanced to tell stories with more grown-up themes and utilizing plots and humor that would appeal across an entire family instead of just to kids. In this episode we discuss the cartoons of the 90’s. We talk about some of the themes and recurring elements throughout the decade. We also give out some of our favorite animated series of this era.
Due to time constraints there is no five-minute controversy this week.
This week Keith, Eric, and Miranda join the cast.
