Voltron Legendary Defender

Cartoons are for kids… or so some people think. But even when an animated show is actually made “for kids,” that doesn’t mean it’s stupid, disposable slop. Some of the greatest cartoons ever made are standout epics regardless of their intended audience. But what are actually some of the greatest animated TV shows ever made?

While the history of animation dates back to the dawn of cinema’s golden age, the first animated television show is often considered to be Crusader Rabbit (1950-1959). The series paved the way for animation in the newfangled business that was television, unlocking an industry that has survived and thrived ever since. The advent of cable, the internet, and streaming has turbo-charged animation, with seemingly more animated shows made now than ever before.

With animation still a powerhouse in the realm of television, it begs the question of what are actually some of the greatest of all time. (A quick note that we’re excluding anime from Japan, but only because that is a prolific category worthy of its own list.) Here are just 32 of the greatest animated TV shows ever made.

Voltron Legendary Defender

In 2016, Netflix unleashed one of the greatest animated reboots of the streaming era: Voltron Legendary Defender. A reimagined take of the original ’80s hit cartoon Voltron (itself an English dubbed version of the Japanese anime GoLion), Voltron Legendary Defender blasted off with its fresh spin on the original show’s mythology and characters, adding new dimensions with plentiful heart and humor. Boasting breathtaking animation and an expansive sci-fi universe that would have made Frank Herbert take notes, Voltron Legendary Defender proved that reboots can be just as blazing as the iconic originals.

Clerks: The Animated Series

It lasted only six episodes, but it wasn’t even supposed to be there anyway. In 2000, the lethargic protagonists from Kevin Smith’s seminal 1994 indie drama Clerks – namely Dante, Randall, and Jay and Silent Bob – found themselves on the ABC network, starring in an outlandish cartoon series with an adult-oriented sense of humor that foreshadowed future giants like Family Guy and American Dad. While the vulgarity of Smith’s acclaimed movie was toned down to suit broadcast TV standards, Clerks: The Animated Series ran buckwild with whatever itcouldget away with. Clerks was not long for this world, but there’s simply too much hysteria – and razor-sharp satirizing of the pop culture zeitgeist circa 2000 – to not check it out.

Scavengers Reign

Beautiful, haunting, imaginative - these are just a few words that can describe this mesmerizing science-fiction epic from creators Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner. In Scavengers Reign, the survivors of a damaged interstellar cargo ship find themselves at the mercy of an alien planet with strange, and at times menacing fauna. As the survivors work tirelessly to get back to their ship and continue their voyage, they become drawn into the planet’s many mysteries. Featuring gorgeous animation and hypnotic sequences that sometimes feel like watching a hand-drawn nature documentary, Scavengers Reign stands out as one of the most beautiful shows ever crafted. Originally made for the Max streaming service, it later landed at Netflix.

26. Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers

Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers

The launch of theDisneyChannel in the 1980s inspired a slew of original television cartoons with some unexpected leads. Among the first wave of Disney Channel shows included DuckTales, TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop, Timon & Pumbaa, and more. But among the best of them is undoubtedly Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers. This series stars the titular chipmunks who start a detective agency to take on cases deemed (literally) too small for conventional police. While the show only lasted a year, between 1989 and 1990, an astonishing 65 episodes were produced and made Chip and Dale household names. In 2022, the heroes got their hybrid live-action/animated reboot movie that was aimed at both kids and adults with its hilarious commentary on Hollywood reboots and millennial nostalgia.

25. Adventure Time

Adventure Time

If there’s any one Cartoon Network series that defined the early 2010s, it has to be Adventure Time. A whimsical and delightfully surreal animated fantasy, Adventure Time takes place in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo where Finn the Human and Jake the Dog traverse a kingdom full of bizarre creatures and quirky characters. No matter what gets thrown Finn and Jake’s way, Adventure Time never fails to be an engaging (and often poignant) story about the power of friendship in the face of adversity. While originally made for kids, the series became a major hit in its appeal to adults familiar with the fantasy genre.

24. Daria

Daria

If your mental image of cartoons is that of energetic characters making kooky faces, you’ve never met Daria. While the show spins-off from the more popular and remembered Beavis & Butt-Head, Daria stands out from it and other animated shows with its sober and grounded portrayal of high school life from the POV of acerbic teenager Daria Morgendorffer, who meets her suburban surroundings with apathy and cynicism. In contrast to other animated shows of its time, Daria’s distinctlyun-complicated animation - evoking the realism of indie cinema - imbued the show with a refreshing identity. While its abundance of licensed popular music makes Daria something of a late ’90s/early ’00s time capsule, the show’s authentic storytelling about the trials of growing up make it timeless even decades later.

Justice League

Animation is a medium naturally suited to the exploits of comic book superheroes. But while there are a million and one superhero cartoons out there - and certainly many with Batman and Superman - few feel as focused and operatic as Justice League and its sequel, Justice League Unlimited. Arguably the definitiveDC Comicsanimated series of the 2000s, the first show explores the formation of the iconic superhero team. The sequel sees the Justice League expand to include the rest of the DCU, with overlooked, B- and C-tier heroes getting the spotlight in its episodic seasons. While the shows spiritually pay homage to the Gold and Silver Age of comic books, its modern sheen and quality production make JL/JLU a timeless classic.

13. Over the Garden Wall

Over the Garden Wall

When the autumn equinox comes around, that’s the right time to fire up Over the Garden Wall. A beautifully short-lived miniseries, Over the Garden Wall follows two brothers who get lost in a mysterious forest. This simple, storybook-like premise betrays the world of haunting mystery that awaits, as the brothers encounter all kinds of threats with a brave chest and a sense of humor. A fine balance between dark melancholy and innocent whimsy, Over the Garden Wall is all tricks and more treats that make it a perfect Halloween binge.

12. Steven Universe

Steven Universe

The groundbreaking Cartoon Network series Steven Universe combined science-fiction, fantasy, and coming-of-age storytelling to produce a singular show unlike anything seen before. The series follows Steven, a young boy who inherits his late mother’s powerful gems to protect Earth from alien threats. Celebrated during its lifetime for its progressive themes including gender diversity - historic for a childrens’ cartoon - Steven Universe champions the power of love is the greatest power that transcends time and space.

Gravity Falls

“What if Twin Peaks was made for kids?” That’s a crude way of summarizing Gravity Falls, but you can’t deny it’s kind of in the right direction. In this acclaimed animated series that aired on the Disney Channel in 2012, twins Dipper and Mabel Pines spend a summer with their eccentric great uncle in Gravity Falls, a pacific northwest mountain town overrun with mysterious creatures, dark secrets, and supernatural forces. Beloved for its sharp writing, serial plot narrative, and gleeful fun with popular conspiracy theories, Gravity Falls makes a great case for its loyal fanbase.

The Flintstones

Way before the Griffins and the Simpsons, there were the Flintstones. While popularly considered a children’s cartoon today, in its historic debut in 1960, Hanna-Barbera’s The Flintstones originally targeted an adult audience with its send-up of contemporary suburbia through Stone Age and dinosaur-related gags. (Kids just love dinosaurs too much to not notice howgrown upthe humor actually was.) Decades on, The Flintstones occupy an irremovable place in pop culture - maybe even more than their futuristic counterparts, The Jetsons - and it’s all because of how innovative and brilliant the original series was.

4. The Simpsons

The Simpsons

Sometimes, the giants really are worth their stature. Since its premiere in 1989, Matt Groening’s The Simpsons has been an unstoppable juggernaut in its clever caricature of both Western society and universal human nature. In the suburban town of Springfield, family man Homer Simpson tries to raise his family while the world outside goes a bit loony. While even die-hard fans acknowledge that the show is far beyond its peak years - and even its premise of a high school graduate having a stable-enough job to raise a family of five with a dog feels outdated - the show is arguably the picture definition of “too big to fail” with an astonishing 35-plus seasons and over 760 episodes aired. The show has earned numerous awards and milestone achievements that commemorate its historic broadcast length.

3. SpongeBob SquarePants

Spongebob Squarepants

Many of the so-called “greatest cartoons of all time” try their darndest to elevate childrens’ entertainment with smart and mature creativity. And then there’s SpongeBob SquarePants, a cartoon that is as gleefully ridiculous as its slapstick name implies. The show chronicles the adventures of SpongeBob, an annoyingly optimistic yellow sea sponge who lives life in Bikini Bottom with best friends Patrick Star, Sandy Cheeks, and annoyed neighbor and coworker Squidward. With vibrant animation and infectious humor, SpongeBob SquarePants has stood the test of time to become a major cultural touchstone for millennials and Gen Z. Simply put: Without SpongeBob, the internet’s collective sense of humor would be very, very different.

2. Batman: The Animated Series

Batman: The Animated Series

A revolutionary superhero epic, the Emmy Award-winning Batman: The Animated Series remainsthedefinitive interpretation of DC’s resident Caped Crusader. Starring the late Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne/Batman, the series follows Batman in his tireless quest to protect Gotham City against his numerous archenemies, including most of all The Joker (Mark Hamill). With an arresting art deco-inspired aesthetic, sophisticated writing, and its plentiful themes of justice, morality, and duality, Batman: The Animated Series soars as the apex of both the superhero genre and childrens’ animation at once.

1. Avatar: The Last Airbender

(Image credit: Paramount Global)

Everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked… and everything changed when Avatar: The Last Airbender premiered on Nickelodeon. Broadcast between 2005 and 2008, this imaginative and carefully crafted animated fantasy tells of Aang, a young, highly-energetic monk and the last living “airbender” who reawakens after a century in deep sleep. Teaming up with new friends Katara and Sokka, Aang embarks on a journey to fulfill his destiny as “The Avatar” - a master of the four elements (air, fire, earth, and water) and restore peace in a war-torn realm. While Avatar: The Last Airbender never forgets to be a kids’ cartoon and has plenty of comical zaniness, the series impresses as a majestic fantasy with its themes of destiny, duty, and redemption.
