5 Most Popular Cartoons Of The 90s

During the 90s, Saturday mornings used to be dominated by cartoons of all shapes, colors, and sizes. Not only kids but adults also kept themselves free so that they could watch cartoons. Go through the below-mentioned list and refresh your memory of the most unforgettable but almost forgotten cartoon series of the 90s:

The Little Mermaid

Adapted from the fairy tale written by Hans Christian Anderson, it aired from September 1992 to November 1994. The series was about Ariel, a princess mermaid, and her friends. The episodes that lasted for 30 minutes each showed Ariel’s adventures in an underwater setting.

Wish Kid

The interesting series, which aired from September to December 1991, was about a kid named Nick. The character was based on the then kid superstar Macaulay Culkin, who also lent his voice to it. Nick possessed a baseball glove, which granted his wishes when he punched it 3 times. Darryl, his friend, knew of the magical glove and he accompanied Nick on adventures, which resulted from random wish fulfillment.

Kid ‘n’ Play

It ran from September 1990 to August 1991 and was based on real Hip-Hop pair called Kid ‘n’ Play. However, the duo did not voice their cartoon versions. The series, apart from being funny, had a moralistic angle to it too, which made many parents encourage kids to watch cartoons. Kid ‘n’ Play aimed at teaching kids about the bond of friendship, that they should not fight with their friends, and should avoid getting themselves into trouble.

Yo Yogi

The series, from September 1991 to December 1991, featured a number of well-loved Hanna-Barbera characters like Snagglepuss, Doggie Daddy, Augie Doggie, Cindy Bear, and Huckleberry Hound. They all were headed by Yogi Bear. The episodes showed the gang (called Lost and Found) working together to solve mysteries. The major attraction of the series was the 3-D chase scenes. Prior to every such a scene Yogi Bear spun his hat, which acted as a cue for the viewers to wear 3-D glasses and feel being a party to the chase.

Beethoven

The basic outline of the series was inspired by the movie of the same name. It aired from September to December 1994 and is one of the most fascinating 90's cartoons to watch now. Beethoven is the name of a St. Bernard, who was adopted by Emily Newton. Slowly, the entire family starts adoring him. He is fun loving but gets into trouble repeatedly from which the family saves him. Unlike in the movie, Beethoven, in the series, could talk with other animals.
