Top Ten Toons

Lollipop's favourite channel Boomerang TV recently surveyed 1000 adults (aged between 25 and 54), asking them to identify their most popular cartoons from their childhood years. The results are in and it's Tom and Jerry that takes the top-spot. Created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera in 1940, Tom and Jerry is officially a classic, and with the recent DVD releases is sure to remain a favourite for generations to come. In at number two, came Scooby Doo (no doubt with the help of the recent movie release), and in at three, Cosgrove Hall's Dangermouse. Here's how the best of the rest fared:

1. Tom and Jerry
2. Scooby Doo
3. Dangermouse
4. Top Cat
5. The Flintstones
6. Bugs Bunny
7. Popeye
8. Road Runner
9. Wacky Races
10. Hong Kong Phooey

If your favourite character isn't in there, let us know. We'll be compiling our very own favourite cartoon list later in the year.
