Top 5 «Adult» cartoons to make you feel like a child again

We all have our inner child somewhere inside and with these cartoons I can assure you you’ll remember those good old days while watching something new.

5. Disenchantment

Disenchantment is a relatively new tv show from the same producer of The Simpsons and Futurama, Matt Groening, except this time it´s not situated in the future or in modern times but in the past. It is set in the medieval fantasy kingdom of Dreamland, the series follows the story of Bean, a rebellious and alcoholic princess, her naive elf companion Elfo, and her destructive «personal demon» Luci.

4. Bojack Horseman

We are starting the list strong with this Emmy Award nominee. It is a Netflix original animated show created by Raphael Bobs, “BoJack Horseman” tells the story of Bojack, who is voiced by Will Arnett, as his struggles with the Hollywood life in the ’80s and ’90s, after starring in his hit television show, Horsing Around, Diane, voiced by Allison Brie, who is a ghost writer, writing Bojack’s memoirs. Now, just a quick note, animals within this universe can speak, they wear human clothing, and they often walk upright. It is an animated show, after all. Despite getting over the initial hump of how weird this universe is, the show is hilarious. While containing a continuous and linear storyline.

3. Total Drama Island

I know this one is a little old but it is still gold. This animated series from Canada spoofs survival programs by recounting the misadventures at Camp Wawanakwa, an island retreat where 22 teens compete in extreme challenges for the $100,000 grand prize. Each season is filled with very well structured characters and a great plotline.

2. Midnight Gospel

The Midnight Gospel is an American adult animated streaming television series by the same creator of another amazing cartoon, Adventure Time, Pendleton Ward and comedian Duncan Trussell. The interesting thing about this show is that it is written as a podcast, each episode revolves around the protagonist Clancy’s and her travels through planets within the simulator, with the beings inhabiting these worlds as the guests he interviews for his spacecast. It is not just entertaining and visually beautiful, it’s also very deep and thought-provoking.

1. Gravity Falls

While this show isn’t necessarily directed towards adults it sure is worth the time. Gravity Falls is an American animated mystery comedy television series created by Alex Hirsch for Disney Channel and Disney XD. The series follows the adventures of Dipper Pines and his twin sister Mabel who are sent to spend the summer with their great-uncle Stan in Gravity Falls, Oregon, a mysterious town full of paranormal forces and supernatural creatures. The kids help Stan run «the Mystery Shack», the tourist trap that he owns, while also investigating the local mysteries. It’s a great mystery show that has great wit, fantastic writing, and many jokes. Almost like a more clever Scooby Doo. Each episode builds on each other and has great call backs with a bigger mystery to solve episode by episode.
