Harry & Toto

Harry and Toto are best friends and together they live in Opposite Town. They help youngsters to spot the difference in every episode.

They are just as different from each other. Harry is a hare who is really fast, while Toto is a tortoise who is very slow.

With them are a lot of animals ready to help with a problem or give advice. A problem usually arises when Harry and Toto are playing together. This way they have to find a solution, realizing that there are always two sides to a story.

Every episode of this cartoon learns young viewers opposites using basic examples.

The Smurfs

The Smurfs originally in French called "Les Schtroumpfs" is about a group of small blue creatures called Smurfs, created by and first introduced as a series of illustrated comic strips by the Belgian cartoonist Peyo.

Peyo's first comic appeared in the Belgian magazine Spirou, and several decades later was adapted into English by Hanna-Barbera Productions who titled it The Smurfs.

The Smurfs is about tales of bold adventure. Almost all the characters look essentially alike — mostly male, very short "as tall as 3 crab apples high", with blue skin, white trousers with a hole for their short tails, white hat in the style of a Phrygian cap, and sometimes some additional accessory that identifies a personality.

For example, Handy Smurf wears overalls instead of the standard trousers, a brimmed hat, and a pencil above his ear.

The Smurfs can walk and run, but mostly they are seen skipping on both feet. Their favorite food is sarsaparilla (a species of Smilax) leaves, whose berries the smurfs naturally call smurfberries.

Some of the common Smurf characters are Lazy Smurf, Grouchy Smurf, Brainy Smurf, and so on. All smurfs, with the exception of Papa, Baby, Smurfette, Nanny and Grandpa, are said to be 100 years old.

There were originally 99 smurfs, but this number increased as new Smurf characters appeared, such as Sassette and Nanny. Smurfette is not one of the original smurfs because she was created by Gargamel, the evil wizard.

This one will always be one of the classic cartoons on the list.

The Cramp Twins

The Cramp Twins is an animated series created by cartoonist Brian Wood. It is about Lucien Cramp and Wayne Cramp, non-identical twins who live with their hygiene-obsessed mother and Western-obsessed father in the town of Soap City.

Obviously, neither get along. Wayne's best friend is Dirty Joe. Then there's Wendy Winkle who has a huge crush on him even though he hates her. His enemies are Miss. Hillary Hissy. Lucien's friends are Tony Parsons, Mari and Luke Harrison.

Lucien is the smarter out of the two twins, but also considered the 'eco-loser' and is not really a fighter, and thus, is bullied by Wayne. He enjoys science, nature and is a vegetarian. He keeps pet worms, which is unknown to everyone else, except Tony and Mari and hides them underneath his bed. Lucien has a fear of clowns, knows how to knit and likes to go to the swamp. Lucien is technically the oldest one of the two twins as he was born first. Wayne often calls him "nerd" or "girlpants".

Wayne Archibald Cramp is taller and less intelligent than Lucien. Normally spending time thrashing/beating up Lucien, Wayne has a blue skin. He is obsessed with junk, which he collects and hides in his room, and spends most of his time at the junkyard, which is owned by his only friend, Dirty Joe.

He has a fear of the swamp and is afraid of frogs. Wayne is constantly annoyed by Wendy Winkle, who has a crush on him. Wayne is extremely in love with anything sugary, which appears to be his source of energy and if he is deprived from it, he becomes tired and speaks nonsense. He likes to give the impression that he is the best-behaved of the twins to his mother but he is a horrible bully and troublemaker, and sometimes it is Lucien who gets in trouble for his misbehavior, although there are many cases in which he got what he deserved.

Pink Panther

In the Fall of 1969, the Pink Panther cartoons made their way to television via The Pink Panther Show. NBC added a laugh track to the original cartoons, with Marvin Miller brought on as an off-camera narrator talking to the Pink Panther during bumper segments featuring the Pink Panther and The Inspector together.

Pink Panther shorts made after 1969 were produced for both broadcast and film release, typically appearing on television first, and released to theatres by United Artists.

One version of the show was called The Think Pink Panther Show. A number of sister series joined The Pink Panther on movie screens and on the airwaves, among them The Ant and the Aardvark, The Tijuana Toads (a.k.a. The Texas Toads), Hoot Kloot, and Misterjaw (a.k.a. Mr. Jaws and Catfish). There were also a series of animated shorts called The Inspector, with the bumbling Clouseau inspired Inspector and his sidekick Sgt. Deux-Deux, whom the Inspector is forever correcting.

The studio was sold to Marvel Comics in 1981, and became Marvel Productions. In the 1984 the series, "Pink Panther and Sons" in which the still-silent Pink Panther was a father of his two talking sons, Pinky and Panky. Yet another new series of cartoons, called The Pink Panther, produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Animation, premiered in syndication in 1993, and had the Pink Panther speaking with the voice of Matt Frewer. Unlike the original shorts, not all episode titles contained the word "pink", although many instead contained the word "panther".

In 2007, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. in conjunction with Jordan's Rubicon animation company began co-production of the animated series "Pink Panther and Pals" portraying a teenaged panther and his friends.

A Pink Panther comic strip was started in 2005. It was written and illustrated by Eric and Bill Teitelbaum.

Another unmistakeable trademark of the Pink Panther is his theme-song.
