Cartoons Hit Harder When You're an Adult!

​Why do cartoons hit harder when you're older?
​We've all been there. You re-watch a show like Adventure Time or Regular Show from years ago, or you realize just how dark Star Wars: The Clone Wars actually was, and suddenly... the "kids show" is dealing with loss, war, heartbreak, and themes that went right over your head as a kid.
​They aren't "kids cartoons" anymore—at least, not just for kids.
​In this video, we're exploring why these animated shows are so emotional to watch as an adult. From the surprisingly mature finale of Regular Show to the complex themes of Adventure Time and the raw, tragic arcs of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch, these shows grew up right along with us.
​What cartoon moment hit YOU the hardest as an adult? Let me know in the comments below.
