Top 10 Best 90s Cartoons of Each Year (1990 - 1999)

Tiny toons was 🎉🎉

90s had the best cartoons period.

Spider-man didn't make the list? Oh well. Props to Gargoyles

1997 must have been the year I grew up, because I'm not a fan of anything past 1996. I also became a fan of South Park at 10 years old.

I was born in 1998 does that count

Power puff girls. My favorite.😁🇵🇷🇺🇸😁

The top 1 best 90s cartoon of each year

How the hell you gonna come up with a list and get ELMIRAS name pronunciation wrong?!?!

Sonic SatAm should be on here.

We only had regular TV in the early 90s. With the rotor antenna. I remember on really clear days we could get extra channels. We only had 4 we could get consistently (Fox, Abc, NBC, PBS). But on clear days we sometimes got Tiny Toons. We could also get Smoky mountain wrestling sometimes.

Beast wars is far better than hey Arnold will ever be beast wars has engaging characters amazing stories incredible visuals for the time and just an overall amazing atmosphere just an everlasting mark on the transformers franchise in contrast hey Arnold is a fucking Snoozefest of a show where the most exciting things that happen is when the show actually ends the only reason why nickelodeon has any any
Nostalgia linked to her in a loose because it was in the 90s any other decade it wouldn’t of been able to be a show at all because it sucks ass Beastwars should’ve won for 1996

1991 should've def been Ren & Stimpy. Goated show

The Tick!

South Park is still around without ever truly any changeover puts out games and while I play Pokémon guess what I'm waiting for. The new South Park game not Pokémon. Pokémon is basically a street girl while south park is still the high class escort of the 2. Every year trying to put out the same old thing in a new skin.

Ren n Stimpy jumped off nicktoons...it was the most popular

We are the last generation that has great mothers...

Wait didn’t tiny toons end in 1992? They really can’t make up their minds about when stuff aired

🙄 Let me 1st state that Rugrats was just a 90’s version of Jim Henson’s The Muppet Babies from the 80’s, which was WAY better! Next, this list unfortunately needs to be categorized according to family economic status and thus location during this period because some of these cartoons were on cable networks while the others were on regular tv, and coming out of the 80’s recession with a republican President, many inner city children did not have access to certain cartoons. Thus…
1990: Yes, Tiny Toon Adventures
1991: DarkWing Duck; Rugrats was on cable.
1992: X-Men The Animated Series; Batman had excellent graphics, colors and action, but it was like watching a soap opera made for kids (BORING)! X-Men had real powers, action, lots of females, and a premise that many urban children could relate to.
1993: The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers; let’s face it this was basically a cartoon (with all the FAKE animation), and it took the country by storm.
1994: Animaniacs!
1995: Sailor Moon; Hey Arnold wasn’t on regular tv.
1996: Pokémon or Recess; after this more families basically started to transition onto cable though because with Democrat Bill Clinton going into his 2nd Presidential term, households were doing much better financially so cable was becoming an option for more and more inner city kids. However, I started high school in 1997 and my first job in 1998, so I had no idea what cartoons came out except Cartoon Network’s odd ones. 🤷🏾‍♂️

The 90s was such a golden age for cartoons. We were spoiled as kids.

Now they got roblox bs

What was that cartoon about a talking blue piano and the bad guy was this blonde man who hates music? I think he has a pet of some sort, I just can't seem to get anyone to remember the tv programme. I would also like to know what that old cartoon about a city under the see, in the intro you can see a statue of something with a blue burning flame. It wasn't sponge bob, it was a completely separate show. In one episode they get attacked by a giant oil slick!

Top 10 best 90s cartoon shows of Cartoon Network:
10th What A Cartoon!
9th Cow And Chicken
8th I Am Weasel
7th Courage The Cowardly Dog
6th Johnny Bravo
5th The Looney Tunes
4th Batman The Animated Series
3rd Ed Edd N Eddy
2nd Powerpuff Girls
1st Dexters Laboratory

Can anyone remember the cartoon in which there are sheeps and flying pillows and also a man wearing red suit

IMO, Yu-Yu Hakusho, Cowboy Bebop, Berserk, and Rurouni Kenshin fill up my top 4 favorite animated series of the 90s. Anime just had more depth when it came to its overarching plot and characters, plus they weren't deterred by the heavy censorship the Western cartoons had to adhere to. Really surprised you guys didn't include Ren and Stimpy in this list though... but I am so glad you guys mentioned Beast Wars. Because in all honesty, Beast Wars had the better overarching plot as compared to its G1 predecessor.

swat katz

Digimon and Spiderman TAS needed a shout

Does anyone here remember a 90s animation of a teenager with a mouth in his hand?

Damn, The Nostalgia.

Pokemon shouldnt be on the list its an anime not a cartoon as it suggest in the video

No “Ren & Stimpy” 😢😢😢

How is "Bobby's World" not here..that's easily a top 3 90's cartoon...

gargoyles
rosswell conspiracies
adventures of tintin
street sharks
exosquad

So many good shows man. They don't make them like this anymore. Only one I really disagree with... Dexter's Laboratory > Hey Arnold! for 96 👍

Daria

Spiderman tas should have got the 94 spot

X-Men is the greatest cartoon ever but man you can't go wrong with either in 1992
