Best Animated Children's Shows - Last 5 Years?

[Malthus]

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. ]

Damn.

BoJack Horseman?

Star Wars Clone Wars and Rebels, if he's into that sort of things.

I've got a few kids under 5 now so it's not the same demographic as an 11 year old... but the kids love the Octonauts and I enjoy it too.

The UK version over the American one as the American one has given the medic penguin, Peyso, a Mexican accent and i'm used to him sounding like a Brit.

BoJack Horseman?

Now, now.

Star Wars Clone Wars and Rebels, if he's into that sort of things.

I've tried him on Star Wars Rebels, but I think he dislikes the animation style - too "uncanny valley" I suspect.

Gravity Falls, Sanjay and Craig, Uncle Grandpa, and Adventure Time (which is probably not really a kids' show but my kids like it).

[Darth Wagtaros]

Gravity Falls and Adventure Time.

[Hamilcar]

Avatar the last airbender

I'd go with Bucky O'Hare.


Oh, sorry, I thought you said 50 years.

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...

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. 


Edit:

Oh Teen Titans Go! is also popular.

[Syt]

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

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  ).
