The other day on the beach I had a funny discussion with some friends on influential cartoons we watched growing up in different parts of the world. Here are just a few of our top picks. Candy Candy,  my favorite- A Japanese anime I watched every day when I lived in Spain.

The Adventures of Asterix

FIDO DIDO

Mafalda from Spain Little Lulu

Probably the most international recognizable cartoon of all TIN TIN

Ulysses 31 a Franco-Japanese Anime tv series from 1981

Gargamel from the Smurfs

and last but not least another favorite Inspector Gadget
