cartoons

I thought that cartoon characters were actually real people and that it was some sort of camera trick to change them into cartoon form on the television. So I truely thought that Fred and Wilma Flinstone were just some actors performing in front of a live studio audience.

I used to believe that Jane Jetson was supposed to be an alien. After all, she had those weird musk-ox-like horns!

I didn't realize until I was about 28 that those "horns" were just supposed to be her hair. Duh.

She was WAY more interesting when she was an alien!

When I was little, I used to watch "Underdog", and on that cartoon was a character named Polly Purebred. Being around five years old, I had no idea what a pure bred dog was, and thought that it was weird that Polly Purebred was named after some kind fancy bread.

I used to believe that cartoons were filmed live action by tiny tiny people that lived in the carpet.

i used to beleive that this cartoon i loved to watch was real, and one night i had a dream that i was in the cartoon with all the characters and for weeks after that dream i actually felt sad because i wanted to live with those characters.

I used to believe Superman flew because in the movie, he was flying.

I used to think that cartoon characters were just people wearing costumes. So one day I asked my older sister what she would do if she met one of the characters from a show we watched. She just laughed at me, and explained that they were drawings.

I used to believe that cartoons were actually real, and that there was this fantastical city filled with cartoon characters. I would beg and plead for my parents to take me there because it was my dream to meet Scrooge McDuck. Mainly because I wanted to swim in his coin pool. Might I add, the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit didn't help me to shake this belief either.

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 I was about 4 or 5, I had this crush on Max from The Goofy Movie.
I would draw pictures and watch the movie ALL the time.
I still wonder why I had a crush on a cartoon character.

I used to think that on winnie the pooh it hurt his feet when they were playing the theme song and he was walking on the letters that spelled out ''POOH BEAR'S 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!

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

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