Someone got defensive today because I called Adventure Time a children’s cartoon. I assume there must be some confusion, so I want to walk you through these facts to make sure everything is clear.
Adventure Time is a children’s cartoon.
My Little Pony is a children’s cartoon.
Steven Universe
is a children’s cartoon.
Regular Show
is a children’s cartoon.
Over the Garden Wall
is a children’s cartoon.
There is nothing wrong with these indisputable, undeniable facts about these shows. The fact you are watching a children’s cartoon as an adult is not a reflection on your character and maturity level; your unbearable defensiveness and asinine denial of reality is far more telling.
Not only is it not an insult, if you ask me, it is a compliment.
These are shows made for the future of humanity and they are so well done that adults can love them just as much as children. It is not easy to write for children and it is an important job.
