You know what, I sure do. There's often layers of meaning in cartoons; some meant for kids, others meant for adults. I enjoy watching the same cartoons and movies I used to watch when I was a kid, and catching all the jokes I didn't get before. It's also nice to mindlessly watch a simplistic plot unfold and know exactly where it's going; there's some comfort in that. But mostly it's just to feel like I'm a kid again, and to see what bizarre situations the characters get themselves into.

No I don't like cartoons at all as an adult. Even as a kid I think I quit watching them by the time I was ten years old. I liked kids shows just not cartoons.

Yes, I do. I still enjoy watching cartoon like I used to only now I have more fun because I got to watch it with my husband and two daughters.

From Powerpuff Girls, X-Men, Dexter's Laboratory, Barbie, Tom and Jerry, Ben 10, Mr. Bean and many more. My daughters are fun to watch with because they want to be the character of the cartoon that we're watching. It is fun to see their faces light up with glee every time the character they identify with is on the scene. It helped me too because it helped me relax and we do laugh a lot especially when watching Tom & Jerry cartoons or Mr. Bean. It helped me not to lose touch the child in me. All of us has still has the child within us and we should not forget it otherwise we will not be able to have fun and enjoy life!

Yes, I do!

In fact, I watch cartoons together with my kids. My husband is a big fan of Slam Dunk also. Personally, I love to watch Spirit, Mulan, Kung Fu Panda, Tarzan, and a lot more! I enjoy them more than the real-person movies. Aside from that, most cartoons offer moral lessons.

Sure, and I don't agree with the premise behind this question. Why should a story being animated make it less suitable for adults than that same story being live-action? It's like saying that poetry is less suitable for adults than prose. The only difference is the medium.

A lot of people's perceptions are colored by things like Looney Tunes (which can be pretty nuanced/classic themselves -- some of them are in the Library of Congress!) but there is so much good storytelling going on in animation. Take WALL-E by Pixar. It got universal critical acclaim, and it had a lot of themes and emotion, yet it was completely animated.

I still do and I still laugh along the funny parts which usually amuses children. :) I'm kid at heart and I know that. I enjoy simple things in life that's why I enjoy these stuffs.

I can still watch old episodes of Tom and Gerry, or Road Runner, or Bugs Bunny and laugh along with it. :)

I also enjoy watching Japanese anime. These type of animations, aren't just for kids so I also enjoy them. One of my favorite animes are Fruits Basket, Fushigi Yuugi, Naruto, Special Class A, Inuyasha and many more. I'm an anime nut. XD

No I never really liked them as a child and I have continued my aversion to them to this day. Even the anime ones that everyone goes on about how they are not cartoons. I find no value in them.
