There are a lot of cartoons that we all watched over and over when we were kids even though they came out decades before we were born.

The Flintstones, Rocky & Bullwinkle, and The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show, were a big part of our lives when we were kids and honestly still are to this day. One person actually had a hand in basically every one of your childhood favorites and while you might not know her name, you have absolutely heard her voice.
