cartoons

my brother told me that cartoons were real people that got surgery to make their eyes big and round and then they were sent to live in the cartoon world for the rest of their lives.

I used to believe that the reason the Simpson characters were yellow was because they were made of macaroni and that's why Bart looks wierd. It took awhile but when I saw the Simpsons movie I realized they were people.

My 6 year old nephew used to believe that Tom Kenny had a magic voice because he could laugh very long without stopping in the Spongebob's longest laugh video. He then found out that they just played a recording of him laughing and repeated it several times.

I thought Kaa's name from The Jungle Book was spelled "Car" and that he had a brother named Truck.

I thought Full Metal Jacket had something to do with Fullmetal Alchemist. I thought it might have been some kind of silly spinoff.

When I was a kid I believed in superheroes. Even though they were cartoons on tv, I thought the shows were based real amazing people and the cartoons , like superfriends, were reenactments of their exploits.

When I was little, I swore that cartoons were in color even though our TV was black and white. But other non-cartoon shows were black and white. My folks told me it wasn't possible for just the cartoons to be in color but I thought they were nuts.

I was around 6 - 10 when my evil older sister and older twin cousins would pretend jack from Nightmare Before Christmas would call me on the phone asking for a date. It was my all time favourite movie but i would get so afraid that his girlfriend would kidnapp me in the night. They didn't give it up until i found my cousin hiding in the next room on the cordless phone. I also believed i was adopted and they were aliens with special powers.

I grew up in Germany, so naturally I believed that Disney cartoons were made there, since they were all in German language. It never occurred to me that they might be translated for us. Strangely enough, I knew exactly what other cartoons came from Asia, Italy or Poland, but I was never suspicious of Disney, because even their songs were in German!

i used think animated films were shot on special film to look like a cartoon. I never questioned why the animals talked and stuff though

You know how when you press on the outer corners of your eyes, little blue dots appear? I used to think that that meant that I was a Sailor Senshi.

I used to believe cartoons were real people and animals. They were just wet.

When I was little I was convinced there were two worlds- one of "regular" people, like me, and one of the cartoon people. I would watch cartoons on tv and think that the characters were alive and acting just as regular people do. I always wanted to know where they lived and how to gain access to this cartoon world.

When Fraggle Rock was a popular cartoon, my parents got a big box with the word "Fragile" on it. Of course, I thought this was a big present for me with Fraggles inside.

I thought cartoon characters were actors in costumes. I was jealous of the actor playing Speedy Gonzales, because I figured it was a child like mne in the costume.

WHEN I WAS LITTLE I USED TO THINK THAT THE REASON YOU COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE TEACHER ON CHARLIE BROWN WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS TALKING IN CURSIVE.

I used to believe that everything was animated, so when I saw an acting movie, I used to say wow! they are really good drawers!

When I was 4 or 5 I used to think the scooby doo monsters would jump out of the tv and chase me around my house!!!!!

When I was little I used to always want the bad guy in cartoons to win because I used to believe that they would be sad if they didnt win and I wanted everyone to be happy! xD For example, I wanted Tom to catch Jerry in the Tom and Jerry show!
