Basically, folks, this is my attempt at a Top 100. Others have done one based on wrestlers, girls, films etc, but horrible cartoons is a top 100 I haven't seen yet. And, being a cartoon fan, I thought I'd jump all over it.
It's exactly the same as any other Top 100 before. Send me a Top 25 via PM and I'll count them all together to give you guys Wrestlecrap's Top 100 Worst Cartoons of all time.
But, unlike others, I do have a few guidelines I'd like people to follow.
Really think about what you want to put on your list
Yes, I know it's your opinion and yes, I know you have a right to it, but really, think about what sort of cartoon is bad. When I tried this on another (Toon Dedicated) forum, I got alot of people saying Loonatix. Mostly because people thought it crapped on the Looney Tunes and ruined the legacy. That might be a good reason why it was a bad idea, in your view, but it does not tell me why it was a bad cartoon.
And also think about Cartoon history in general. Would the toon you hate be that bad during that era?
All I'm asking is for people to really think about their choices. Just so we don't have something stupid as Number One. ;D
And just as a bonus, another tip.
I like to judge a 'toon on 4 different factors.
1. Animation. Half of the time, this doesn't matter. But the other half, it really, really does. Some cartoons I really hope somehow get on this list will show that in a huge way.
2. Dialogue. Is it cheesy in a good way or cheesy in a horrible way? If it's cheesy in a horrible way, it's a horrible toon.
3. Plot. Is the concept outlandish? Do the show plots just drag on like the ending of Return of the King?
4. Voice Acting. Do the voice actors sound like they don't care about the piece at all? Would they rather be somewhere else?
Just as a little guide for you guys.
Anyway, I'll give you guys till....say, the beginning of October, so you have about half a month to get your entries in. I'll be more precise of the day when I settle into Uni properly, but you guys will know.
So until then, get voting 'Crappers!
Edit: And to anyone who's ever done a Top 100 list before....feel free to PM me some tips.
