The Best Cartoons Were From Ages Gone By

I will say this right now, the cartoons of today cannot even hold a candle to the cartoons of the ages gone by. You look at the ideas that come out nowadays, and you realize its the stupidest piece of crap you've ever seen. Take the 80's for example. How many of the coolest cartoons came out back then? I can think of three off the top of my head; Voltron, Thundercats and Transformers. You could have only had those three, basically because they were the best.

Take Voltron for example. This show was almost the basis for the Power Rangers series (which is not a cartoon for those of you who are ill informed). Five lion robots forming into one giant warrior robot? What's better than that?!? I watched the show whenever I could when I was younger. It was my hour of happy time when Thundercats and Voltron aired back to back.

Where did all the action adventure go in today's world of cartoons?
