The office has been reminiscing this past week about the amazing cartoons we watched avidly when we were younger.

The animation varied from stunning to charmingly tacky, and the storylines could either be inspiring or incredibly cheesy (Captain Planet anyone?). However, all the individual elements combined to make the best kids TV of an era.

The theme tunes in particular were astounding. They may have fallen into the genre of the softest of soft rock, but nevertheless, they’ve stuck in our brains for decades.

Check out some of the links below for the intros to some of our favourite 80s and 90s cartoons. You can’t help but sing along.
