TVLine’s ongoing review of TV’s all-time greatest theme songs continues with this ultimate animated series breakdown. This week, we’re revisiting some classic cartoons alongside some newer (and more adult-oriented) fare, so fans of all ages can relive their childhoods.
In this rundown, we’ve culled the best of the best from Warner Bros., Nickelodeon, the Disney Channel, Hanna-Barbera and more, serving up everything from Looney Tunes to Bob’s Burgers. There are also some pizza-loving mutant turtles, a ghost-hunting team of detectives, a jungle-swinging Tarzan parody and more than one selection from Fox’s Animation Domination lineup.
