Silly Rabbit, Cartoons are for Kids!

Hi, everybody! I’m excited to be back on Sourcerer  and I have something new and exciting to talk about! Cartoons!

Okay.

I know, I always talk about cartoons here.  Just go with it.

I started posting about children’s media last year with an enormous discussion of the Disney Princess franchise. That post was supposed to be a one-off, but it turned out to be my most popular article. The conversations it inspired are what made me realize how strongly I feel about children’s media as something that should be valued and taken seriously.

I never really had a chance to respond to every comment the way I wanted to. Silly Rabbit started as a bunch of comment responses. The tone is a little bit different from my He-Man and She-Ra series, but I think anyone who enjoyed that series will like this one.

I like cartoons. I like them so much I’m going to spend the next several weeks sharing about why I think more adults should watch them and responding to comments about them. If you’ve been on my blog at all, which I hope you have by now, you’ll know how opinionated I can be, and I can never resist the urge to blog about animation.

  2. You headline reminded me of an old joke:

    Once in a land far, far away there lived a group of people called Trids. The Trids were happy except for the huge ogre that lived on the mountain. The ogre would periodically terrorize the Trids.

    The Trids tired of the ogre and sought to reason with him. They thought one of their religious leaders would be a good intermediary. So a group of Trids and their minister went up the mountain and before they could even say one word the ogre kicked them down the mountain. Not being dismayed the Trids thought that maybe the ogre was Catholic, so they sent another delegation, this time led by the local priest. But alas, as they approached the ogre he once again kicked them all down the mountain.

    The Trids were upset until they thought that perhaps the ogre was Jewish. Unfortunately, no Trids were Jewish, so they wrote to the people of another land and asked them to send a Rabbi to help them with the ogre. The Rabbi arrived and led a delegation of Trids up the mountain. The ogre saw them coming and kicked all of them, except for the Rabbi, down the mountain. The Rabbi, having been told of the previous expeditions, wondered why he alone had not been kicked down the mountain, so he asked the ogre. The ogre laughed and replied:

    “Silly Rabbi, kicks are for Trids!”

  4. I like cartoons too, so I’m looking forward to this series 😀 My dad also enjoyed to watch cartoons; it’s one of my favourite memories of him – the way he would laugh and engage with the material. I get my love of stories, in whatever form, from him I think!

  5. I adore cartoons. I’m currently watching Young Justice on Netflix. Over on my blog I’ve been writing about recent animated movies; many are intended for kids but can still be enjoyed by adults 🙂
