Before I start, I'm very much aware that cartoons are not intended to be realistic portrayals and they are for the amusement of children and to let their imagination run wild. Of course, anything is possible in cartoons and that's why so many people watch them but you have to admit, the writers seriously do stretch it at times. Here's a few examples of outlandish events in animation:-Disney: Throughout the 20th century, Disney produced numerous classic cartoons,spawned so many influential characters and inspired much of modern animation. Yet they are not always so sensical. The male protagonist in the Little Mermaid discovers a mute naked girl on the beach. What does he do? Marries her without a question. I'm not sure whether she ever was okay with this.
Another example is Cinderella where everybody knows that by midnight, her appearance would transform back to normal yet there's one catch. Her slipper remains golden. After midnight.
I don't know whether that was a mistake or the writers were just too lazy but this is major flaw in their plot line.
-Teenage Mutant Turtles: Anyone notice a flaw in their appearance? The masks. How many turtles, specifically mutant teenage ones live in this town? How does a mask help conceal their identity? I don't know to be honest. And the fact that they wear their own colourised masks doesn't really help the matter. After a while you probably could guess who's who, especially as they seem to fight the same bad guys so often.-SpongeBob SquarePants: This show is one of the main culprits. Already a fairly surreal and bizarre concept, the show truly does stretch the boundaries of logic to new levels. From underwater fires, drowning in underwater beaches and listening to music with your eyes, the show truly doesn't give a fuck about making sense but that's what a made a brilliant and memorable show.
