When watched the loin king on video, i used to believe that-if I broke the screen-imba & Nala would actually come out & play with me!!

When I was little I once was watching Scooby Doo with My Family, On Break It Said To go make Scooby and Shaggy a Sandwich. I really thought that Scooby and Shaggy were going to come wanting a sandwich,so i had my dad make a huge sandwich filling it with things i thought they would like,Boy was i dissapointed and Boy was my dad mad.

My favorite show was Sailor Moon when I was little, and I began hoping and hoping she was real. I was old enough to pretty much know, cartoon characters weren't real, but I kinda thought maybe she was. So I remember one night, actually several nights in a row, I left out a note saying "Sailor Moon, if you are real, please leave me something like your transformation brooch or your wand." Needless to say it never happened...much to my disappointment.

I argued with my mother once that the Mighty Mouse cartoon was indeed in color, and I was positive! She said it couldn't be color on a Black & white TV. Who do you think was right?

My Husband and I both tried this as kids:

There was a cartoon/movie on years ago called "Dot and the Red Kangaroo". At one part, Dot shows the Red Kanagroo how to dig up water to survive or something (I forget the plot). She did this by on clean swipe on the soil with her claws and then the water appeared. Well, we both tried the same thing upon seeing the show. He gave up after a while, but I dug down at least two feet only to find NO WATER and that my parents house was built on a rubbish dump!

As a big fan of cartoons as a child, I thought that it was only logical that WE too had the black outlines that surrounded most cartoon characters. I was amazed when I couldn't see my outline, or anyone elses for that matter..so I just figured that we moved to fast to see them.

When I was a kid I used to think Walt Disney was make-believe--like Santa or the Tooth Fairy. I guess Micky and his gang seemed to good to be true.

I remember when I went to Disneyland in Paris, I was 4 and I was extremely excited to see all the Disney characters. I thought they were real, and when I saw them I asked my mom: "If those are the actual Mickey Mouse and Goofy, and Pluto, why are they *always* smiling?" Then (a few years later) I found out that they were just people in costumes. I was so disappointed...

you know that cartoon show on disney channel called kim possible??? ya well of course every cartoon needs a catchy theme song, and i liked singing all of them... but anyways when it came to the part call me beep me if u wanna reach me... i thought it said call me BEAT me if u wanna reach me... to me since kim possible beat up bad guys and was tough i thought that in order to get her phone number you need to beat her in a battle... this made perfect sense to me... but when i sang the theme in my living room where my mom overheard she insisted it was beep me not beat me.. oh well

i dont sing out loud anymore

When I was little I thought the teenage mutant ninja turles were real. (this was back when they came out with the 1st cartoon show and the first movie and all) I thought this becuase I saw people in ninja turtle costumes on tv at certain events and because they starred in their own movie. I thought they were real superheros and celebrities. I got a 'autographed poster' by them and believed they really autographed it. I felt so special.

The Animaniacs were fictionalizations of the Warner brothers and the "Warner Sister" it took me years to realize this was not the case.

When i was about 4 or 5 i got the Aladdin movie. I was so happy I watched it all day everyday. My uncle got tired of it and told me if i closed my eyes at the end of the movie, before the ginie jumped out and said "gotch ya" that he wouldn't say it. So for about a year, everytime I watched it I closed my eyes at the end.

When I was little, I used to think you could buy anything you saw on a Cartoon. (I.E. Rainbow Monkeys from KND, et cetera.)

I very early found out that cartoons are in fact series of fast changing pictures, each next only a bit different from previous. It was well explained in some magazine for kids. So I knew how does every cartoon work, but I though it is executed just like the cartoon-book you can make yourself - they are holding out there in the studio thick stack of colored papers right in front of camera, and when the sheets are moving very fast, it is just being filmed and showed on TV. So many times I just wondered why all those cartoons on TV are so perfect quality since there should be visible trails of sheets moves etc. Then some day I found out they just record each one picture in the other film-tape tile, and this is it.

My Dad had told me when I was around 5 years old that he made a potion that could turn me into a Ninja Turtle. I ran around and told all the neighborhood kids that I had this potion and was so cool becasue of it. Needless to say, I never turned into a Ninja Turtle.

i used to believe that cartoons where real, i thought that they were acting, but they were still real!

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.

After watching for the first time the episode of the Rugrats with the dust bunnies I thought dust bunnies would come and eat me!!!

when I was little I wasn't allowed to watch the simpsons, but my brothers were and when they would talk about the show and say "Bart," I would yell at them claiming that it was Bark not Bart, Bart wasn't a real word.

I used to believe that looney tunes and nickelodeon were interchangeable words that meant the same thing
