Only ‘cause you’re old.
(Butch Hartman is still a massive turd, though.)
That hashtag XD
Personally, my childhood was a team effort across the board XD
I recognize everything here except the one on the top right.
But yeah, as much as I like Butch's work, this wasn't his best moment

SilverHawks. It was a sister series to ThunderCats and, at least in my opinion, FAR SUPERIOR to ThunderCats.
But it never really got the recognition it deserved.
I remember those shows.
can someone please explain? I am kind of in the dark here

Butch Hartman is the guy who created Fairly OddParents and Danny Phantom. He has a massive ego, he recently left Nickelodeon Animation after 20 years there, and he's a MASSIVE RAGING DOUCHEBAG whose ego is out of control.
He recently made the offhand statement "I created your childhood" in some interview or something. It's caused...a moderate backlash on social media.
The collage above, which I put together myself? Those are shows I watched growing up, cartoons that shaped MY childhood. Butch Hartman had nothing whatsoever to do with any of them.
4910457
Hmm, I personally liked the 2012 Thundercats over the OG, and I've seen both, but I might check out some of SilverHawks
My childhood was made by Tara Strong.
4910467
I was really hyped for that thundercats
4910467
Oh, 2011 ThunderCats is superior to the original in every way. Pity Cartoon Network fucked it over so badly.
4910473
Even though it was, if memory serves, getting REALLY damn good. Its like how they barely advertise Adventure Time, one of the shows that practically SAVED CW

I took a look through her IMDB when I first became a brony, and yeah ... it's freaky how much I loved as a kid she acted in. I said, "No wonder I like Twilight so much; that voice has been keeping me company since I was three!"
I was too young and had learning disabilities back then, still, classic CN shows where more of my childhood than DP and FOP, which where more of a casual viewing as I was more into videogames. Rather dick comment on part of Mr Harthman
4910464
never really watched any shows as a kid, except Power Rangers and I was obsessed with the original Bionicle series
I liked Danny Phantom well enough, but I wasn't a child when this guy was creating stuff.
If any one person gets credit for my childhood, it's probably Shigeru Miyamoto.
4910484
Oh, he's chock full of dick comments. Like jokingly blaming Tara Strong for the suicide of a fellow voiceover artist. Who was a close personal friend of Tara's.
Who was the Lead Designer on Super Metroid? Because that was my childhood.
Haha, I never had Cartoon Network.
I looked at his imdb page, and yeah I never watched any of his works. My childhood cartoons was all from the early to mid-eighties to the mid-nineties. This guy had nothing to do with it. If anything he is one of the reasons I despise the majority of cartoons that came out in 2000 and onward.
Bruce Timm and Paul Dini created like, eight shows that I love that I watched while growing up and even THEY didn't create my childhood, much less Butch "I made like two good shows" Hartman.
What about the D&D cartoon? Gods, I loved that show.
Tiny Toons was the most subversive cartoon I ever watched as a kid. On the surface, it was just Loony Tunes 2.0, but there was a level of humor and reference to it that you needed a surprisingly broad level of exposure to a number of subjects to fully get. I knew adults at the time who didn't catch even half of what that cartoon was up to.
I loved it, and was so disappointed when it was finally stopped.

Miyamoto kinda lost my favor lately, but fuck me if I ever say if that guy wasn't the shit back in the day. Mario was my childhood hero for most of my life

Must applaud Tara for keeping her cool, but it's clear she'd rather kick his balls.

Butch Hartman worked for Nickelodeon, not C--well, okay, he was involved with Dexter's Lab, but he's mostly known for his career with Nickelodeon.
4910543
Animaniacs was everything Tiny Toons was cranked up to 11. It wasn't even subtle about it:
4910593
Tress MacNeille was my childhood. She did the voices of SO MANY characters I liked, including in Animaniacs, Tiny Toons and in Disney afternoon.
4910593
Never had Nickelodeon either. You ever heard about Qubo?
4910489
It's a shame that Bionicle never got a series. It did get a few direct to DVD movies. In a way it was ahead if its time.
Here's who helped shape my childhood: Sunbow. Warner Brothers. Disney.
I wasn't aware of Butch Hartman until well after my childhood was over.
While I enjoyed some of his stuff, I wouldn't put it in my pantheon of best animated series.
I'll add that while video games were #1 in my childhood, if we're talking about TV shows specifically then Animaniacs was definitely the most defining one.
Which is funny, because I was missing half the goddamn jokes until I grew up.

)
I love Animaniacs. It was funny no matter the age of the viewer. (And omg that joke!
Yeah, I never really followed Hartman's shows when they were on Nick. He had no tangible impact on my childhood.
So, in short, not cool, dude.
Duane Capizzi, Jeff Kline, Dwayne McDuffie. And a little bitta' Tom Ruegger and Craig McKraken.
Im suprised no one has said anything about the DC animated universe, that showed how great a shared continuous universe could be decades before Marvel even attempted.

That came along a little late to call it "my childhood", because I was in high school when B:tAS started. Tiny Toons came along a couple of years before that, IIRC.
Most of my childhood were mostly consist of Lonny Tunes, Merry Melodies, and Hanna Brabera. The rest of them were Japanese anime like Doraemon, Ninja Hattori-kun, Ikkyū-san, and Fist of the North Star. I think I haven't seen any of Hartman's work until I graduated from High School.

Partly metal, partly real! SILVERHAWKS!
I loved that show growing up, and I agree, the series was far superior to ThunderCats, as were the toys. There was also BraveStarr that showed around the same time and got less recognition than SilverHawks
I mean, he’s not wrong from a certain point of view. Pretty sure many childhoods of a generation included OddParents and the like.
Other than that... frankly as of initial research, I find the controversy sketchier than the subject of said controversy. Twist perception, create backlash. If he wants to create a Christian-based streaming service, let him. No different were it Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, etc.
But again, this is just initial findings. Further research may change this stance.

It's more the fact that he's using media channels with connections to the arm of "Christianity" that's servicing the alt-right and fundamentalist conservative agenda. I don't know HOW deep into the alt-right he's digging here, but in the current climate, a lot of people are very sensitive to that, to the point that even "a Christian network" can be a cause of backlash, simply because of the bad press Republicans are giving Christianity right now.

If he wants to create a Christian based streaming service, that's fine.
If he wants to create a Christian based streaming service while advertising it to his investors as all-inclusive, that's fraud.
This post might as well have been called "I lost my mojo and got Alt-Right Religion."
This is because he wants to be the ass every kid's head is shoved up, I think. His idiotic babbling about how depression didn't exist when he was a child proves that he himself is talking out of his ear most of the time and he wants the kids of the world to be as ignorant and blind as he was.
Man, this made me realize just how much tv I watched as a kid. Offhand, the shows I remember watching include everythinv in that collage plus Bravestar, Voltron, the dubbed versions of Grendizer and Gaiking, Starvengers (aka dubbed Getter Robo G), G1 MLP, Mazinger Z (english dub), Ghostbusters, Centurions, Visionaries, Doraemon and Ultraman. Yup, pretty much a team effort; although I doubt anyone could claim to be solely responsible for creating any one generation's childhood.
Yes, I'm aware of what that list suggests about my age
