Cartoons that gave you self esteem or gave you an actual lesson

The Finale of Evangelion taught me that I should not ever hate myself and that I can't be happy without first felling pain.
I don't know why but that gave me a deep meaning to it....... to bad the movies destroyed it in the first scenes :P.
 
I always look for morals, especially in movies. Aladdin's main moral was "be yourself", as it constantly beat you over the head with, but there were some underlying ones too...

- You should marry for love, not wealth. The Sultan learned that at the end.
- Quit while you're ahead. Hence how Jafar got turned into a Genie.
- Don't let your anger get the best of you. Hence how Aladdin tricked the Genie into getting him out of the cave without actually wishing for it.
 
Muppet Babies taught me never to loose my keys because I may end up at the center of the earth's core and cause extream earthquakes......scary.
 
Gintama has taught me to always check for ninja's; calcium is very important; having a drag queen persona can be extremely useful; if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, it MUST be an old guy in a duck suit; zura ja nai katsura da!; a surprising amount of Japanese; you don't have to be a super duper awesome drafstman to be a kickass mangaka (sorry Sorachi-sensei XD); Studio Sunrise seems to have all of the epicly good crack; and when you fight, it's to protect something.

Oh, also, you can get away with creating something extremely phallic so long as you call it the Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon and make up some sort of interesting history to accompany it. XD

Back in the day, Freakazoid taught me that I'm not crazy and weird, I'm advanced. XD
 
An episode of The Simpsons taught me that movies can change your life. I never thought there could be a bomb in my toilet until I saw Lethal Weapon 2, and now I check every time.
 
Animaniacs!

- That most of the countries of the world can be sang and recited under 2 minutes.
- Good idea / bad idea
- Learning what we should "learn" from the wheel of morality. >D
- How to make English literature...FUN!!

Pinky & The Brain

- Why two completely opposite intellectual lab mice shouldn't take over the world. :) (And why, you shouldn't put mice/rats in a NIMH situation...unless you give them the knowledge of difference between good and evil.)

David the Gnome

- Respect nature and learn how to deal with death. (Although, I never saw the final episode of the show....)

Muppet Babies

- Their wild and inspired imagination. Then Nanny, of course, always comes in to tell the babies what they shouldn't be doing.

Rugrats

- Where do a lot of things come from? Ooooh yeah.
 
I don't have a funny one, I'm afraid, but Gargoyles (especially the tragic lives of Demona and MacBeth) taught me that revenge is never the solution to ANYTHING, merely a vicious cycle of reprisals that lulls you into a false impression that you're gaining some form of vindication when all you're really doing is sacrificing your humanity until you look back and realize you've destroyed everything you thought you were fighting to save.

Yeah. Revenge. It's really THAT bad. It can ONLY destroy you.
