Best Cartoons of the '80s

Alexandr

The Top Ten

1 Transformers

Transformers should always deserve a come back and I believe there should be comic books that are crossovers of transformers and star wars and a animated movie that's a crossover of transformers and equestria girls and collect the toys shirts and dvds of it all the time

Transformers is my favorite 80s cartoon show it is the coolest and my favorite transformer is optimus prime and he is the best and the coolest

Transformers is my favorite eighties cartoon show and my favorite transformers is optimus prime because he's the best the coolest and the fan favorite and I know he was reborn in the toy line as a powermaster he would form into a super robot

What this should be number 1 on the list and this has never had a reboot show just reboot movies!

5 DuckTales DuckTales DuckTales is an American animated television series produced by Walt Disney Television Animation. It premiered on September 18, 1987 and ended on November 28, 1990 with a total of four seasons and 100 episodes.

Pretty good if you ask me, should be number 1.

Another Great Cartoon

6 He-man and the Masters of the Universe He-man and the Masters of the Universe He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is an American animated television series produced by Filmation based on Mattel's toy line Masters of the Universe.

This show has the power.

The Filmation series was the first and, to date, still the best. The fandom (or what's left of it, anyway) SUCKS, though! You'd expect that level of sheer character hate from 15-16-year-olds, not 45-46-year-olds. FFS, people, GROW UP.

It's the first T.V. show based off a toy. I had to take a daily dose of it.

21 Paw Paws
22 She-Ra: Princess of Power She-Ra: Princess of Power

The Magic School Bus what aload of crap that was. I would've rather been an 80s kid instead of born then.

My second favourite animated T.V. Show behind SpongeBob SquarePants.

No one messes with The Simpsons. They rock! They outsold every cartoon as merchandise (video games, board games, DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, a segment on IMAX's CyberWorld 3D movie, a crossover with Family Guy, puzzles, computer games, a arcade game, clothing, compact discs, toys, digital cameras and a virtual community). - kristyrosepetal4

32 The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is an American Saturday morning original animated television series produced by Walt Disney Television that ran from January 17, 1988 to October 26, 1991.

The reason why I'm voting for The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh because it's one of my favorite Winnie the Pooh T.V. Shows and Disney Shows. This cartoons needs more votes from fans. - Nectaria
