Have Some Retro Fun with Your Kids with Netflix Throwback Cartoons #StreamTeam

June 15, 2015 by Kathryn 66 Comments

When I was a child, I was a little bit of a cartoon addict. Despite barely being able to crawl out from under the covers in time for school during the week, I would pop out of bed like a jack-in-the-box on Saturday morning to watch weekend cartoons. In fact, I once woke up so early that the morning kid’s shows hadn’t even started yet!

Now I have two boys that love cartoons as much as I once did, and while some of the shows they enjoy are ones that are brand new to me, others are throwbacks of cartoons that I once loved when I was their age. At first I’ll admit that it took some convincing for me to sit down and watch a revamped version of one of my childhood favourites. But once I saw a few episodes of some of the new shows, I was hooked!

My personal favourite throwback cartoon is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. When I was young, the Turtles first appeared as a Saturday morning cartoon series. A few years later, the live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie was released. While I’m sure I had been to the movies before, TMNT was the first movie I remember seeing in the theatre. And I enjoyed it so much that I managed to convince my mom to let me go back to see it three more times!

Sitting down to watch the new adventures of some of my favourite childhood heroes on Netflix was an interesting experience and I wasn’t sure what to expect. But it only took one episode to get me hooked on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles again. And my boys enjoyed the series just as much as I did! While Zackary’s favourite turtle is Leonardo and Benjamin’s is Michelangelo, I have to admit that memories of the movie have ensured Donatello is still my top turtle!

the smurfs movie

Netflix has so many other fun throwback cartoons to enjoy with your kids and it’s a surefire way to bond together as old favourite characters enjoy fun new adventures. Watching The Smurfs movie is tons of fun for kids and sure to bring back memories of the eighties children’s cartoon for adults. And the new adventures of lasagna-loving Garfield the cat are a great choice too!

Throwback cartoons are a great way of reliving childhood memories while connecting with your kids, and Netflix makes it so easy to do that anytime. While my boys still watch plenty of brand new shows (and some that don’t enjoy at all), they’re also always happy to sit down and watch a few cartoons that I enjoy as well. And seeing Zackary and Benjamin excited about the antics of characters I once loved is something that always puts a smile on my face! Check out the extensive list of throwback shows on Netflix and enjoy some retro fun bonding with your kids!

    I was a total Saturday morning cartoon junkie. Both me and my sister would lay on the floor, turn on the TV (with our hands, as remotes did not exist) and watch all morning. To this day, if I see an old Looney Tune cartoon on I will watch it, smiling the entire show. I have not seen the new Mutant Turtles, but I LOVED the Smurf movies. I think they paid homage to the old school show, but made it fun for everyone.

    Anyone remember a cartoon with red car I think was a crime fighter of sorts. When it slept the only thing that woke it up was its own horn. I wish I could remember more.

    Permission to contact me about this is hereby granted.

        I remember that one too, but that may not be it. Does Speed buggy sleep and wakes up only to its own horn? Memories have faded over time, maybe it was not on for very long. I spent a good deal of time in Google but didn’t find it.

    I grew up watching the Smurfs and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Although i love the TMNT i do not really care for how they look now, i think they should’ve left them the way they are before the went and reinvented them. Both are classic though!

    I love Netflix! I’ve already seen the first smurfs movie and just couldn’t get into it for some reason, but I did finish watching it. I think it would be cool if they were more true to the originals, maybe instead of updating the look they would keep it 2D and exactly as they used to look. I saw a preview for an upcoming Jem movie, and thought it was awful, it’s live action (that doesn’t bother me at all) but the name is the only thing it has in common with the cartoon (at least from what I remember of the show), so annoyed by this. grr, lol. Sorry, that was kind of a little rant, huh?
