cartoons

When I was 5, I used to watch re-runs of 60's cartoons and there was one called "Atom Ant" about an ant who had super powers. I thought his name was "Adam Ant" and it took me a while to figure out the truth.

I used to believe that Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd were real. Anytime Elmer would try to kill Bugs, I would scream at the TV for him to stop because I loved Bugs. My mom laughed at me but I didn't understand why until much later.

I also thought that if I fell in a deep enough hole, I would meet up with ugs.

I used to get mad at the Bananas In Pajamas because they were so dumb when they did stuff. I wanted to go into the TV and tell them how to do things!

I used to believe that cartoons were actual real life people, places, and things, except, covered in tin foil and painted to render them flat.

i used to think that the people in movies were drwan and was amazed at how good they were at drawing them so good.

When i was younger about 7 I used to watch Sailor Moon and believed that they were real and i could become a sailor scout than a very very close friend died so i had to grow up much faster than kids should have to and than i would see my friend in my dream as a protector of the scouts a half a year later they cancelled the show so i was forced to give up my childish dreams at 7 1/2 years old

I used to think it was the greatest coincidence in the world when they would have the Jetsons episode where they traveled back in time and met the Flintstones. "What are the odds of my two favorites cartoons families traveling through time to meet each other?" I thought. It was only later that I realized Hannah Babara was masterminding the whole thing behind the scenes.

When I was younger I saw a cartoon about how bears have to store up food and water to hibernate for the winter. Since it was near winter time, I figured we had to also and I'd better get started! So I go into the bathroom and drink about 10 dixie cups of water. Then my little sister comes in and asks what I'm doing. I share my plan with her, and she joins in. After about 20 cups, my mom comes in and need I say I had a lot of explaining to do!

As a child, I went to a Montessori school, and I thought that the Flintstones were a "Montessori Family", not a "Modern Stone-Age Family" Whenever I see a field-trip from a Montessori school, I tell them this, and they have a good laugh about it.

I made up a theory when I was about 5, that every night when I was asleep, all the cartoon characters that I would watch on TV the next day would sneak into the house and climb into the back of the TV before I got up the next morning.
I didn't really believe it was true. I wonder why I made up this 'theory'?

Until quite recently I thought that all cartoons were made by drawing the same picture over and over and the pictures then being flicked in front of a camera, like the flickbooks you make in school. I imagined a poor, underpaid Korean man (for some reason exploited workers were Korean) standing in front a camera and flicking thousands and thousands of pictures.

I once was absolutely terrified of steam or any other white gas. This was because i'd seen a halloween special of the simpsons. At the end it showed the family getting turned inside out by a mysterious fog. They then started dancing around and singing.
I didn't want to join a freak show!

I believed that if I was in a car accident, I couldn't be harmed because cartoon characters would fly down out of the sky and save me! After all, they weren't confined to time and space were they?

I never understood the "D" in Disney, the one that's supposed to be like Walt Disney's signature. I thought it looked like a funky Q, or some wierd symbol. I only realized it was supposed to be a D about 8 months ago, me being 14.
