Best Animated Children's Shows - Last 5 Years?

[Grey Fox]

Let's see, if you ask my kids some of their favourites are:

Paw Patrol
LEGO Ninjago
Transformers Rescuebots
Star Wars Rebels

All of course are designed around selling toys...

My son is addicted to the Paw Patrol like fucking crack or something. He's all sad & moppy but then it comes on tv & POOF you can actually talk with him. It's like he's a teenager, ffs.

@Malthus, I have no new suggestions to add, my children are still too young & I quebec francophone cartoons are no use to you.

I occasionally watch cartoon network lately.
Adventure Time and Teen Titans are fun.

All my kids were into Paw Patrol about a year ago in a massive way, but Timmy has outdrown it by now.  My youngest, Joshua, is still obsessed.  There's no way you're going to be talking to him if Paw Patrol is on.

CHASE IS ON THE CASE

You could go for some classics like 90s Batman, Justice League, Avengers, Gargoyles, ...

I really liked Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears, and I am not ashamed to say so.

I'm collecting recommendations here for my kid, who is nearly 11. 

He's a big fan of Gravity Falls and Star vs. The Forces of Evil, both Disney shows (albeit not standard Disney fare).

I've head good things about Steven Universe, though I've never seen any episodes.

Any other good, recent animated shows out there? Let me know!

[And no, Rick and Morty isn't a kids show. ]

It's older than 5 years, but Avatar the Last Airbender, and its sequel are good.

Oh, the latest version of VeggieTales (Netflix exclusive) is a surprising hit around our house as well.   

None of which helps Malthus in the slightest. 

Actually, he still likes Lego Ninjago a bit. Though in terms of sophistication, it is light years behind a show like Gravity Falls (which is easily his favorite).

He's gotten into Star vs. The Forces of Evil more recently, because it is still ongoing. It looks entirely like a more girl-appropriate "magical princess" show, while being, to a great extent, a deconstruction of what you would normally assume of a Disney princess (the lead character is a cheerful but dangerous maniac, and some of the plots are basically G-rated horror - one in particular we saw the other day was as if David Cronenberg wrote a Disney kid's show  ).

Graduate to PG13 animated horror and have him watch Modoka Magika instead.

Anybody that exposes their kids to Canadian kids programming should be summarily shot.

Case in point:  Caillou. 

That whiny little shit.

Lola used to watch some educational show with dogs that had one crippled dog.  Found that terribly depressing.

Also, Peppa Pig. WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT OF THIS?

Shitty Aussie shit.

That's British, isn't it?

It comes from a retarded commonwealth country. So I just picked one.
