Well said nicola.....I absolutely loved Dr Katz. A classic. Just how could Mr Benn NOT make the list? That is incredible. But there's the problem, The Incredibles and Finding Nemo pushed the really good cartoons from our childhoods down the list. They are more recent in peoples memory, and of course, technology an society have moved on, so these cartoons are much more 'today'...as indeed, is the Simpsons.
Perhaps the show should have been the Top 100 ANIMATIONS, which would then put 5029's mind at rest.
If you don't think of Clangers and Bagpuss as cartoons, then why was the Wind in the Willows included ? It is model animation too.
However, Yollob, Hector's House was a puppet show. If it were to be included, then the floodgates would have opened ( and maybe even Thunderbirds would have won ).
Like Spudqueen, I too would like to have seen Mole included.
And while we're off the subject of best cartoons...
I recently bought a DVD trilogy of Camberwick Green, Trumpton and Chigly. Wonderful stuff. It's amazing how you can still remember some of the songs after nearly 40 years. Check out The Trumptonshire Web for a blast from a much gentler past.

littleoldme I was dragged along to see the Iron Giant by my daughter a couple of years back, she hated it, I loved it. It's not Disney and whoever made it didn't do a very good job of promoting it, it's based on a book and is a very moving story which works on more than one level...and yes I did cry ok!..it's worth a viewing-x-
Xollob, didn't you think that the Trumptonshire trio of programmes on DVD were a very mixed bag of film transfers ?
Most episodes have the opening and closing titles edited off ( obviously straight from the video master that the same company released ), and the picture quality was so varied.
They hadn't spent any time in doing a decent transfer or video grading !
Tony, the picture quality of the Trumpton Trilogy is indeed as rough as a badger's bum in places, but I think we have to remember that Camberwick Green was made in 1966 - I don't know what quality the master tapes will be after all this time.
Instead of fancy image enhancement technology, I suggest you invite round a few friends who still remember the series and drink lots of beer. Did this recently and had a wonderful time.
