Forgotten 90s Cartoons
Duration: September 1 - November 30, 2023

The Cartoons
1. AAAHH!!! Real Monsters
AAAHH!!! Real Monsters was another weird '90s cartoon from Nickelodeon about three young monsters — Ickis, Oblina and Krumm — who attend a school for monsters to learn how to scare humans. The show aired from 1994 to 1997, with each episode focusing on the monsters making their way up to the city from the sewers where they reside to practice their scares on humans. AAAHH!!! Real Monsters is one of those cartoons that is fun to watch for kids, as well as adults. AAAHH!!! Real Monsters is very '90s in nature and offers a unique blend of humor unlike any other cartoons of the time.
📺 Read a book where someone moves to the city OR where there are humans and "others" OR whose author's first name begins with I, O or K.

2. The Angry Beavers
Following the lives of beaver brothers Daggett and Norbert Beaver, 1997’s The Angry Beavers centers on the young pair as they move from their parents' house and become bachelors in the forest in the fictional Wayouttaatown, Oregon. Created by Mitch Schauer for Nickelodeon, the series was inspired by Schauer’s early years in Oklahoma in which he was homeless and often spotted beavers in a nearby river. He also was heavily against the beavers being soft and safe, instead opting for the duo to be bad-tempered and politically incorrect (it is called angry beavers, after all).
📺 Read a book set in Oregon OR with brothers in the story OR whose author's first or last name begins with M or S.

3. Bear in the Big Blue House
Produced by Jim Henson, Bear in the Big Blue House follows Bear and his friends Tutter, OJ, Pip, Pop, Treelo and Shadow on their daily adventures in the Big Blue House. Each episode typically has a theme that results in a lesson learned by the end of the episode. Bear in the Big Blue House aired on Playhouse Disney from 1997 to 2006. Most recognize Bear in the Big Blue House for its use of song, specifically the show's theme, and Bear's "Goodbye Song", which he sang each night with Luna the moon.
📺 Read a book where someone learns a lesson (your interpretation) OR where a bunch of people live together OR whose author's first and/or last name have the letters BEAR in any order.

4. Cow and Chicken
Cow and Chicken is a weird cartoon about the adventures of the unlikely animal siblings Cow and Chicken. Cow and Chicken aired on Cartoon Network from 1997 to 1999. The show was known for its slapstick, surreal humor and odd characters, like the villainous Red Guy, a unique take on the Devil. Cow and Chicken also served as the foundation for I Am Weasel, another Cartoon Network series.
📺 Read a book with a brother and sister as main characters OR where there is a villain in the story OR whose author's first or last name begins with C or N.

5. Dragon Tales
This PBS series aired from 1999 to 2005, lasting three seasons. Dragon Tales was about two kids, Emmy and Max, and their adventures with their dragon friends Cassie, Ord, Zak, Wheezie and Quetzal in the whimsical world of Dragon Land. Emmy and Max work with their dragon friends and go on quests. The educational premise of the show teaches children how to overcome problems and bundles in a few moral lessons, as well. Dragon Tales was very positively received during its time on air and served as a great show for preschool-aged kids.
📺 Read a book tagged Children's OR with a dragon in the story OR whose author's first name begins with E or M.

6. Freakazoid!
This superhero comedy aired on The WB from 1995 to 1997. Freakazoid! followed the adventures of Dexter Douglas, a geeky teen who transforms into the zany superhero Freakazoid, who battles supervillains like The Lobe and Cobra Queen. Dexter gained his abilities from a computer bug activated by a "secret key sequence" that was accidentally activated by his cat Mr. Chubbikins. While the show's setting is set around Washington, D.C., the locale often varies with the show's humor, taking Freakazoid to locations around the world as needed.
📺 Read a book set in Washington, D.C. OR where the MC has a cat OR whose author or main character has the same initials like Colleen Coble.

7. PB&J Otter
PB&J Otter was a musical TV show that aired on Playhouse Disney from 1998 to 2000, lasting three seasons. The show focused on the Otter family — mainly the three Otter children, Peanut, Butter and Jelly — in their rural fishing community of Lake Hoohaw. PB&J Otter follows the typical children's cartoon formula of: kids encounter a problem, solve it and learn a lesson in the process. The show won an Annie Award in 2000.
📺 Read a book tagged Music OR set near a lake OR whose author's first or last name begins with P, B or J.

8. Pepper Ann
This Disney cartoon followed the life of the title character, 12-year-old Pepper Ann, as she experienced the ups and downs of adolescence. Pepper Ann ran from 1997 to 2000, lasting five seasons. Pepper Ann was a unique "girl's" cartoon. It wasn't focused on girlish stereotypes, but rather featured a cast of strong female leads who didn't always fit into society's standards of femininity. Pepper Ann is witty, charming and was definitely worth waking up early on a Saturday morning to watch.
📺 Read a book with a 12 year old girl in the story (does not have to be the MC) OR with a character that wears glasses OR written by a female author.

9. The Powerpuff Girls
What happens when you mix “sugar, spice and everything nice” and accidentally add a dash of “Chemical X?” The Powerpuff Girls centers on Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, three kindergarten-aged girls with superpowers. The girls all live in the fictional city of Townsville with their father and creator, a scientist named Professor Utonium, and are frequently called upon by the city's mayor to help fight nearby criminals and other enemies using their powers. Created by Craig McCracken, the hit series debuted in 1998 and garnered rave reviews from critics and audiences alike with specific praise for its lowbrow humor and quirky characters. For the design of the butt-kicking trio, McCracken pulled inspiration from wrestlers and the paintings of Margaret Keane, drawing the three girls with large eyes, something which may have helped endear younger audiences to the massive incoming popularity of anime. The show introduced iconic villains, such as the mad scientist chimpanzee Mojo Jojo, the glamorous supernatural demon HIM and Bigfoot-hillbilly monster Fuzzy Lumpkins. The series ran for 6 seasons and spawned a feature film and TV specials.
📺 Read a book with a butt-kicking female MC OR where the MC is raised without a mother OR where you find the author's initials in "The Powerpuff Girls".

10. Rolie Polie Olie
Rolie Polie Olie is about a family of spherical robots who live in a teapot-shaped house on a geometric planet in a galaxy of other geometric planets full of uniquely-shaped robots. Rolie Polie Olie aired six seasons on Disney Channel from 1998 to 2004. Episodes focused on the main character, Olie, as he embarked on various adventures, learning life lessons along the way. Rolie Polie Olie is most well-known for its signature use of 3D animation and its simple, bright, futuristic elements.
📺 Read a book tagged Futuristic OR where a character has a dog OR whose author is Canadian.

I've heard of most of them, but we rarely watched anything but PBS. Couldn't stand all those toy commercials on the Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, especially during the holiday season!

Welcome Barb!

I've forgotten about the commercials. Sophia watched a lot of PBS. She loved P, B and J Otter and Cailou (OMG I hated that show!!!)

The Lost Challenges
Forgotten 90s Cartoons
Duration: September 1 - November 30, 2023

Progress: 0 out of 10

The Cartoons
1. AAAHH!!! Real Monsters
AAAHH!!! Real Monsters was another weird '90s cartoon from Nickelodeon about three young monsters — Ickis, Oblina and Krumm — who attend a school for monsters to learn how to scare humans. The show aired from 1994 to 1997, with each episode focusing on the monsters making their way up to the city from the sewers where they reside to practice their scares on humans. AAAHH!!! Real Monsters is one of those cartoons that is fun to watch for kids, as well as adults. AAAHH!!! Real Monsters is very '90s in nature and offers a unique blend of humor unlike any other cartoons of the time.
📺 Read a book where someone moves to the city OR where there are humans and "others" OR whose author's first name begins with I, O or K.

2. The Angry Beavers
Following the lives of beaver brothers Daggett and Norbert Beaver, 1997’s The Angry Beavers centers on the young pair as they move from their parents' house and become bachelors in the forest in the fictional Wayouttaatown, Oregon. Created by Mitch Schauer for Nickelodeon, the series was inspired by Schauer’s early years in Oklahoma in which he was homeless and often spotted beavers in a nearby river. He also was heavily against the beavers being soft and safe, instead opting for the duo to be bad-tempered and politically incorrect (it is called angry beavers, after all).
📺 Read a book set in Oregon OR with brothers in the story OR whose author's first or last name begins with M or S.

3. Bear in the Big Blue House
Produced by Jim Henson, Bear in the Big Blue House follows Bear and his friends Tutter, OJ, Pip, Pop, Treelo and Shadow on their daily adventures in the Big Blue House. Each episode typically has a theme that results in a lesson learned by the end of the episode. Bear in the Big Blue House aired on Playhouse Disney from 1997 to 2006. Most recognize Bear in the Big Blue House for its use of song, specifically the show's theme, and Bear's "Goodbye Song", which he sang each night with Luna the moon.
📺 Read a book where someone learns a lesson (your interpretation) OR where a bunch of people live together OR whose author's first and/or last name have the letters BEAR in any order.

4. Cow and Chicken
Cow and Chicken is a weird cartoon about the adventures of the unlikely animal siblings Cow and Chicken. Cow and Chicken aired on Cartoon Network from 1997 to 1999. The show was known for its slapstick, surreal humor and odd characters, like the villainous Red Guy, a unique take on the Devil. Cow and Chicken also served as the foundation for I Am Weasel, another Cartoon Network series.
📺 Read a book with a brother and sister as main characters OR where there is a villain in the story OR whose author's first or last name begins with C or N.

5. Dragon Tales
This PBS series aired from 1999 to 2005, lasting three seasons. Dragon Tales was about two kids, Emmy and Max, and their adventures with their dragon friends Cassie, Ord, Zak, Wheezie and Quetzal in the whimsical world of Dragon Land. Emmy and Max work with their dragon friends and go on quests. The educational premise of the show teaches children how to overcome problems and bundles in a few moral lessons, as well. Dragon Tales was very positively received during its time on air and served as a great show for preschool-aged kids.
📺 Read a book tagged Children's OR with a dragon in the story OR whose author's first name begins with E or M.

6. Freakazoid!
This superhero comedy aired on The WB from 1995 to 1997. Freakazoid! followed the adventures of Dexter Douglas, a geeky teen who transforms into the zany superhero Freakazoid, who battles supervillains like The Lobe and Cobra Queen. Dexter gained his abilities from a computer bug activated by a "secret key sequence" that was accidentally activated by his cat Mr. Chubbikins. While the show's setting is set around Washington, D.C., the locale often varies with the show's humor, taking Freakazoid to locations around the world as needed.
📺 Read a book set in Washington, D.C. OR where the MC has a cat OR whose author or main character has the same initials like Colleen Coble.

7. PB&J Otter
PB&J Otter was a musical TV show that aired on Playhouse Disney from 1998 to 2000, lasting three seasons. The show focused on the Otter family — mainly the three Otter children, Peanut, Butter and Jelly — in their rural fishing community of Lake Hoohaw. PB&J Otter follows the typical children's cartoon formula of: kids encounter a problem, solve it and learn a lesson in the process. The show won an Annie Award in 2000.
📺 Read a book tagged Music OR set near a lake OR whose author's first or last name begins with P, B or J.

8. Pepper Ann
This Disney cartoon followed the life of the title character, 12-year-old Pepper Ann, as she experienced the ups and downs of adolescence. Pepper Ann ran from 1997 to 2000, lasting five seasons. Pepper Ann was a unique "girl's" cartoon. It wasn't focused on girlish stereotypes, but rather featured a cast of strong female leads who didn't always fit into society's standards of femininity. Pepper Ann is witty, charming and was definitely worth waking up early on a Saturday morning to watch.
📺 Read a book with a 12 year old girl in the story (does not have to be the MC) OR with a character that wears glasses OR written by a female author.

9. The Powerpuff Girls
What happens when you mix “sugar, spice and everything nice” and accidentally add a dash of “Chemical X?” The Powerpuff Girls centers on Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, three kindergarten-aged girls with superpowers. The girls all live in the fictional city of Townsville with their father and creator, a scientist named Professor Utonium, and are frequently called upon by the city's mayor to help fight nearby criminals and other enemies using their powers. Created by Craig McCracken, the hit series debuted in 1998 and garnered rave reviews from critics and audiences alike with specific praise for its lowbrow humor and quirky characters. For the design of the butt-kicking trio, McCracken pulled inspiration from wrestlers and the paintings of Margaret Keane, drawing the three girls with large eyes, something which may have helped endear younger audiences to the massive incoming popularity of anime. The show introduced iconic villains, such as the mad scientist chimpanzee Mojo Jojo, the glamorous supernatural demon HIM and Bigfoot-hillbilly monster Fuzzy Lumpkins. The series ran for 6 seasons and spawned a feature film and TV specials.
📺 Read a book with a butt-kicking female MC OR where the MC is raised without a mother OR where you find the author's initials in "The Powerpuff Girls".

10. Rolie Polie Olie
Rolie Polie Olie is about a family of spherical robots who live in a teapot-shaped house on a geometric planet in a galaxy of other geometric planets full of uniquely-shaped robots. Rolie Polie Olie aired six seasons on Disney Channel from 1998 to 2004. Episodes focused on the main character, Olie, as he embarked on various adventures, learning life lessons along the way. Rolie Polie Olie is most well-known for its signature use of 3D animation and its simple, bright, futuristic elements.
📺 Read a book tagged Futuristic OR where a character has a dog OR whose author is Canadian.
