Sketch’s 2010 Cartoon Round-Up

I contemplated making a top 5 or top 10 for the year but I felt like I wouldn’t be giving some shows their due if I just did that so rather than make a list I decided to give a micro-review and some personal thoughts on the cartoons of 2010 that I was able to catch. For the record, I did not include any direct sequels such as Ben 10: Ultimate Alien or Total Drama: World Tour. Follow the jump to see what I thought about the new cartoons that premiered in 2010.

DeviantArt: A Hive of Creativity and Weirdness

where Art meets application!

When thinking about the internet, the first things to come to mind are usually social networking sites. From instant messaging on AIM to long, faux-philosophical status updates on Facebook, to even the silliest of 140-character messages on Twitter, the internet has become a place for the sharing of information. But along with the sharing of information comes the sharing of some of the more bizarre information and ideas in the world. I doubt anyone knew that there are people that get aroused by anthropomorphic animals before the internet became mainstream. Nor that everything and anything can and will be porn whether you like it or not, and at least a thousand people could be getting off on it at this very moment.

Check It: Cartoon Network Forever 3rd?

I don’t need to tell you that Cartoon Network has gone through a lot of changes in its short history as a network. From only showing classic animation in the early 90s, to creating original animated programming beginning 1995, to even the embracing of live-action in the mid-2000s: Toon has been through quite a bit. But if one thing has stayed constant, it is the channel’s inability to surpass their fellow networks in the ratings. No matter how original the concept, no matter how funny or action-packed one of their shows might be, and no matter the timeslot, Cartoon Network is rarely able to catch more than a second’s worth of glory. Time to take a look at the reasons why.
