Tough to say. I think the first TV animation I saw was Pirates of the Dark Water. My grandparents also had these old VHS collections of classics, so I also recall one that was about the world of the future with weird machines that extruded cars and other abstract inventions.

Other possible candidates include Fantasia, Pinnochio, or any number of Disney movies.

Earliest one I distinctly remember because I associate it with an ear infection (or something) that hurt like a bitch.

I think this was on it too (it was some kind of Fleischer Cartoons Christmas VHS).

That's a nice and comfy first memory.

My first memory is being on an operating table with alien instruments that do shit to me while an evil doctor and my passive and emotionless parents stand in front of me (or above me). I look up at them. I had a hernia when I was 1 and a half years old and had to stay at the hospital, which was like monster town for me. Weird how memory incorporates emotion into what actually happened.

>>80873144
My dad liked it so I'd watch it with him, along with Ninja Scroll, Dirty Pair, Akira and some weird anime movie called X.
Also watched a lot of slasher films and a bunch of black and white war movies.

Dad didn't give a shit but if my mom caught me watching something violent or slightly sexual by myself she'd get mad and make me switch to something more for kids. For some reason her rule seemed to be I was only allowed to watch them if I was watching them with an adult. This is the woman who gave me a softcore porn tattoo magazine that only censored tits and junk with a black dot to keep me quiet in the car.

My mom's censoring was very confusing and frustrating since it was constantly switching from "you can't watch this", "you can only watch this if you cover your eyes at this part", "only if youre dad is watching it",etc. At some point I remember yelling at my mom and trying to explain to her that these cartoons and movies weren't real because I legitimately had begun to think my mom thought they were.

Top kek. I'm so sorry you had to put up with that anon.

Cool, that's one of my first memories too.
They had these metal clips with tiny needles/injectors stapled to my arm, like 6 of them in total clamped to my arm. I am screaming myself senseless and my parents stand stonefaced.
The clips was supposed to inject different chemicals, testing me for allergies to see how the arm/skin would react.

As for cartoons, i don't remember. Something from the 80's.

Fuck man I don't remember that. Cartoons have existed since way before I was born, how the fuck am I supposed to remember the first one I saw? I know you're asking for the first one I remember seeing, but that's pretty fucking hard to remember too since I've been seeing them since before I can remember. It's somewhere in that hazy place between being a baby who can't remember shit and being a toddler who can.

Stupid question, really.

The episode of Thomas the Tank Engine where Thomas is being picked on by the freight cars and gets pushed around by them. I had this episode on vhs and I distinctly remember a weird flub with the tape where halfway through the episode, the audio would suddenly cut out for a second and you hear some man mumbling for a second before the music kicks back in. I was very weirded out by that when I was a toddler.

Years later, I was watching that same episode with a younger relative on a dvd that had this error fixed. It didn't feel right without it.

If it's just watching a cartoon, my earliest memory is Alice and Wonderland while I was in the kids waiting room for the Doctor. I think I was getting something for my ear infection.

But as for watching something consistently, I remember a VHS that had a couple of Merrie Melodies in them.

I distinctly remember Bugs Bunny's laugh, and that little dog's screaming.

I think I had this cartoon on VHS. I have no idea if this show ever aired on television in America. The one episode I've always remembered for some reason is where this Snake gets bit by a mosquito or something and since he thinks its a vampire bite he starts dramatically acting like a vampire. It isn't until one of his friends points out he can't be a vampire because he still has a reflection.

>>80867211
One of those VHS tapes that had two to three hours of old Public Domain cartoons on it, so very likely either Popeye Meets Sinbad The Sailor or one of the Superman shorts

Other possible candidates include the Springfield Gorge episode of the Simpsons, and a VHS tape that had a TV recording of the Disney Alice In Wonderland

One thing that came of this is a lifelong love of old animation
