Yeah, I consider myself pretty weird, but definitely not immature. So, I have to agree with everyone else that watching cartoons doesn't make one immature.
Do you think you are immature for watching cartoons?

To answer the question, I don't think that I'm immature for watching cartoons. I'm 20 years old and I've watched cartoons for ages. I never saw a real reason to stop it since I've enjoyed a lot of them. I've never understood the idea that you can't enjoy a show unless your within the target audience that the general public has with cartoons. I've honestly tried watching the shows that are geared more towards people my own age, but I couldn't really get into them.
As for immaturity, that doesn't come from what a person watches. That has more to do with how a person acts in situations and towards people. I would be seen as a more shy, probably odd, hopefully friendly and quite kind of person than immature. While I usually don't tell people my interest, that doesn't mean that I'm ashamed of it. It's more like a safety net. I've been bullied for what I like, especially Pokemon back in the day, and instead of putting myself in a vulnerable position with letting people know what I like, I keep it to myself. With the exception of my parents of course. It works better for me. Though, the fact that I don't like socializing probably helps, which also goes back to my shy and quiet traits that I mentioned.
So basically, my answer would be no.

The only one who's ever called me immature for liking cartoons is my dad. (My mom loves animation though.)
My friends acknowledge that a lot of the animation I watch is good, and they enjoy it too, so there really isn't any worry there.

I've considered it. I've had my interests mocked by my family and even my tutors to some degree (when I've referenced influences in projects). I like to psycho analyse people, including myself, so I've hit on a few ways my interests and attitude might be a handicap. But in general, it's what I enjoy and a big part of it is that I've always been keen to see something created be it a piece of art or an achievment by a person. There's so much work that goes into animation that it's obviously alot of creativity on various levels. I'd like to think appreciating that is a sign of maturity. I'd certainly rather watch certain animated shows than reality TV crap and bad soap operas.
Do I think that I'm immature for watching cartoons? No, I think that immature because I'm immature.
But a lot of the cartoons that i've been watching these days are cartoons that aren't necessarily intended for kids. There's the DC Universe pg-13 movies, as well as South Park, and Family Guy.
