Cartoons and Cereal: A History of Saturday Morning Cartoons (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798310254848)

Saturday morning was the time for cartoons and cereal, a ritual shared by generations of kids gathered around the TV. In this historical retrospective, you'll learn about this half-century tradition and the cartoons that brightened mornings, from the limited motion of black-and-white classics to the computer-animated marvels that changed TV animation forever. You'll hear all about the shifting of theatrical cartoons to the small screen, the prehistoric sitcom that launched cartoons into primetime, the cheapness of the 1970s, the consumerism of the 1980s, and the golden era of the 1990s. Grab a bowl of your favorite cereal and indulge in the cartoon of yesteryear.
