One of the best parts of being a kid in the ’90s was waking up early on Saturday morning to watch all your favorite cartoons. These animated classics didn’t rely on 3D animation or flashy computer graphics- it was a time of 2D and it was fabulous. Take a break from adulting and remember the simpler times by watching these cartoons on DIRECTV.
