Hello hello, people of the Internet! How are you? Today I come with a burst of nostalgia after reconnecting with some animated cartoons that I saw when I was little through Cartoon Network, and that became my favorites, watching these animated series again was like reconnecting with my inner child and reliving the best times, the vacations when my cousin came to my house and we stayed up watching television until my parents sent us to sleep 😄 , that's why today I wanted to select four of those cartoons that I liked the most at that time.

¡Hola Hola, gente de Internet! ¿Cómo están? Hoy vengo con un arrebato de nostalgia después de reencontrarme con algunos dibujos animados animados que yo vi cuando era pequeña a través de Cartoon Network, y que se transformaron en mis preferidos, volver a ver estas series animadas fue como reencontrarme con mi niña interior y volver a vivir la mejor época, las vacaciones cuando mi primo venía a mi casa y nos desvelábamos viendo la televisión hasta que mis padres nos mandaban a dormir 😄 , por eso hoy quise seleccionar cuatro de esos cartoons que más me gustaban en esa época.

Who doesn't get goosebumps watching this intro again? I loved The Powerpuff Girls because it was the first time I saw heroes like me. It wasn't about muscular men or women facing evil, it was about little girls. I mean, the society of that universe didn't just listen to children, they owed them their integrity. I loved their very different personalities, Bubbles' tenderness and Buttercup's toughness, but my favorite was Blossom for her mental agility. She well deserved her leadership because she was the perfect balance between her sisters. Plus, this series was different in every way. For the first time, I saw a family raised by a single "dad." Of course, there were precedents like the series Full House, but it wasn't from my generation. Also, during elementary school, the favorite game of the entire class was precisely The Powerpuff Girls.

I loved this show not only because it was funny with Billy's occurrences, but because it was different from everything I had seen before, it was a more relaxed way of seeing death, in fact The Grim Reaper was one of the protagonists and was constantly involved in problems that she had to solve with her powers, generally all because of some stupidity done by Billy. On the other hand, I really laughed at Mandy's way of reacting, she was like a kind of Wednesday Adams, always in a bad mood, unable to smile, with a scathing comment 😄. My favorite episodes were those with Dracula, who was very old already but he hated being called "old" and his interactions with Grim Reaper were extremely hilarious, as well as Irwin's attempts to win Mandy's cold heart.

Yo amaba este show no solo porque era gracioso con las ocurrencias de Billy, sino porque era diferente a todo lo que yo había visto antes, era una manera más relajada de ver la muerte, de hecho La Parca era una de los protagonistas y constantemente se veía envuelta en problemas que tenía que resolver mediante sus poderes, generalmente todo por culpa de alguna estupidez hecha por Billy. Por otra parte me daba mucha risa la manera de reaccionar de Mandy, ella era como una especie de Merlina Adams, siempre de mal humor, incapaz de sonreír, con un comentario mordaz 😄. Mis episodios preferidos eran esos donde estaba Drácula, el cuál era muy viejo ya pero él odiaba que lo llamaran "viejo" y sus interacciones con Puro Hueso eran extremadamente hilarantes, así como los intentos de Irwin por conquistar el frío corazón de Mandy.

Ahhhhh this was one of my favorites because at the time it made me feel relieved that all imaginary friends had a place to go, although I only remember having one imaginary friend, Jonathan 😄. This was a cute series that promoted friendship. I remember my favorite characters were Blue, because of her cheerful personality, always with a smile, it was like she lit up every space, but I also loved Cheese 😄 because even though he didn't speak, I found the way he reacted to certain situations very funny, like that time he was slowly going down a slope and then he would shout Wiiiii 😄 but when the cart started to pick up speed he would get scared and shout Ahhhhh 😱. I loved that Mac was always looking out for Blue, visiting him daily and helping him when he needed it. Although it focuses on imaginary friends, the series addresses themes such as friendship, growth, loss, creativity, and the importance of imagination

Ahhhhh este era uno de mis más preferidos porque en esa época me hacía sentir aliviada de que todos los amigos imaginarios tenían un lugar a donde ir, aunque yo solo recuerdo haber tenido un amigo imaginario, Jonathan 😄. Esta era una linda serie que promovía la amistad. Recuerdo que mis personajes preferidos eran Blue, por su personalidad tan alegre, siempre con una sonrisa, era como si iluminara cada espacio, pero también me encantaba Queso 😄 porque aunque no hablaba me daba mucha risa su forma de reaccionar ante ciertas situaciones, como esa ocasión en que estaba bajando por una pendiente lentamente y entonces gritaba Wiiiiii 😄 pero cuando el carrito empezó a ganar velocidad él se asustaba y gritaba Ahhhhh 😱. Me encantaba que Mac siempre estaba pendiente de Blue, lo visitaba a diario y lo ayudaba cuando lo necesitaba. Aunque se centra en amigos imaginarios, la serie aborda temas como la amistad, el crecimiento, la pérdida, la creatividad y la importancia de la imaginación.

This is my favorite of favorites, I madly LOVED this series and never missed a single episode, Courage's reactions were very funny to me because he was very scared, but I still think the name was well placed because no matter how scared he was, he always faced whatever it took to defend his family, especially Muriel, who was something like his human mother. Now that I see it as an adult, I think it could be a good metaphor that represents overcoming fears. This series, despite being a cartoon, had such an intense oppressive atmosphere that it almost came through the screen, that isolated rural environment and the dark tones made it feel unsettling, the characters who came to the house to interact with the protagonists were often very bizarre, my favorite of all of them was Fred, who also, I understand is based on a real-life character.

Este es mi favorito entre favoritos, yo AMABA con locura esta serie y nunca me perdía ni un solo episodio, me causaba mucha gracia las reacciones de Coraje porque él era muy miedoso, pero aún así creo que tenía el nombre muy bien puesto porque sin importar cuán asustado estaba siempre se enfrentaba a lo que fuese con tal de defender a su familia, en especial a Muriel, que era algo así como su mamá humana. Ahora que lo veo de adulta pienso que podría ser una buena metáfora que represente la superación de los miedos. Esta serie, a pesar de ser un dibujo animado tenía una atmósfera opresiva tan intensa que casi traspasaba la pantalla, ese ambiente rural aislado y los tonos oscuros hacían que se sintiese una sensación inquietante, los personajes que llegaban a la casa a interactuar con los protagonistas a menudo eran muy bizarros, mi preferido de todos ellos fue Fred, quién además, tengo entendido que está basado en un personaje de la vida real.

And well, people, that's all for today's post, I hope you liked it. Thank you very much as always for supporting my work, I welcome new readers, I love you all very much, I send you a hug and I'll see you in another post.
