What is it that made cartoons from that era (late 50s/early 60s) so appealing?
The characters were masculine. They were based on men who followed the persuits of men. In the end, they generally made a hash of things or succeeded by some zany luck. Either way, the story was sympathetic to the characters because they were men (or humanized male animals).
What's wrong with modern day cartoons? Political correctness has stripped away the masculinity that gave the cartoon its magical quality.
This was when the FCC didn't regulate what was on Saturday morning cartoons. Now, you'll never see Yosemite Sam or the Road Runner because they are "TOO VIOLENT". You won't see Speedy Gonzales because it's stereo typing a race. This is exactly why you don't see Bugs Bunny cartoons anymore. It sucks.
But cartoons are still violent. Also gory and ugly. I don't like today's cartoons because most of the main characters are rude, obnoxious children with bad hygiene.
Inclduing the cereal plugs..there was even a whole show "Linus the Lionhearted". and KHorne made a good point about today's cartoons, and I will include "Disney's" "Phineas and Ferb", and notye I used quotes around Disney due to said terrible drawing, totally not recognizable as a "Disney cartoon."
Lewtube on Political Correntess: Meat and in some cases L:EATHER are sitll ok, so animal rights activism has not affected it completely..YET.
@latex123456 the 70s is when all this started with Peggy Charin's Watchdog Group. She disappeared from the scene by the 1990s. While her intensions may have been well intended, they did far more damage to society and the industry. Since cable is not regulated in the same manner as broadcast television, the territory was wide open for broader material of varying taste levels.
Good use during that Droopy (who gave a LOT to Huck's posture..) bit I cite below, of composer Jack Shaindlin's "Fishy Story" classic..and I have to say that also, Tex Avery's wolf, of cours,e gave to Huckleberry Hound with that North Carolina voice! (Alkso by Daws Butler).Of course Hanna and Barbera worked for MGM themsevles, dire3cting the Tom and Jerry's. And note the last "lookalike of Huck"'s name../FGRED..as in FLITNSTONE (yeah, common name..:))
This was the first Huck cartoon to use Hoyt Curtin's arrangement of "Clementine" under the opening title; orignally seen in October 1958...legendary layout artist Ed Benedict, who worked for Hanna-Barbera and Tex Avery at MGM, and drew the original model sheets for "THE FLINTSTONES", designed this one.
Huckleberry Hound used to be gay.
He told so on The Simpsons :)

Huck was originally syndicated in black and white, 'tripjet'. Color prints weren't distributed until the fall of 1966.
