16 Iconic Cartoons Series That Are Streaming Right Now

Get ready to remember some truly legendary theme songs.

1. Powerpuff Girls

Cartoon Network

Did you ever want to be a Powerpuff Girl? I certainly did. Not only were these three ladies 6-year-old badasses, but the writing included plenty of jokes that might've gone over your head as a kid that you can appreciate now.

You can stream the whole show on Hulu.

2. Hey Arnold!

NIckelodeon

This show gave us Arnold, who was the coolest 9-year-old in the world, but it also gave us the eternally iconic Helga G. Pataki, whose passionate love poems and slightly disturbing shrine were always hilarious. But best of all, the show wasn't afraid to lay down some real-world truth, like “Life’s a little disappointing.”

You can stream the whole show on Hulu.

3. Rugrats

Nickelodeon

There's no better way to escape your troubles than hanging out with a bunch of babies and toddlers who are experiencing the world for the first time. Best of all, once you finish, you can catch the first two seasons of All Grown Up on Amazon.

You can stream Rugrats on Hulu and All Grown Up on Amazon.

4. Adventure Time

Cartoon Network

The fun never ends with Jake the Dog and Finn the Human! If you were devastated when this show went off the air in 2018, fret not because you can relive the laughs and all of Marceline's songs.

You can stream Adventure Time on Hulu.

5. Danny Phantom

Nickelodeon

The Danny Phantom theme song was the bop of the 2000s, and you're lying if you say this sentence doesn't make you want to listen to it. Plus, who are we kidding, Danny is super cute. Sorry not sorry.

Danny Phantom is available to stream on Hulu.

6. Ben 10

Cartoon Network

If you were ever jealous of Ben Tennyson's Omnitrix — aka the super cool watch that let him turn into 10 (and later more!!) different aliens — you're in luck! You can watch Ben and all his alter egos in action on TWO different shows.

Ben 10 and Ben 10: Omniverse are both available to stream on Hulu.

7. Steven Universe

Cartoon Network

If you ever wanted a cartoon to move you to the point of tears, look no further than Steven Universe. It's a coming-of-age story that explores themes like family, gender identity, and mental health. That's right, all of that in a cartoon that's just as enjoyable for adults as it is for kids.

Steven Universe is available to stream on Hulu.

8. Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends

Cartoon Network

If for no other reason, watch Foster's because it is so damn pretty. But if you need another one, this show will remind you of a time when you made up your own imaginary friend. It might even inspire you to imagine a new one, because what else are you gonna do?

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is available to stream on Hulu.

9. The Magic School Bus

PBS

Unfortunately, The Magic School Bus did not provide an accurate representation of what actual school buses are like, but you can still appreciate Miss Frizzle's penchant for unforgettable field trips (if you can get over your FOMO).

Both The Magic School Bus and The Magic School Bus Rides Again are available to stream on Netflix.

10. SpongeBob SquarePants

Nickelodeon

The show that gave us a never-ending supply of memes and the world's most enthusiastic (and, fine, occasionally annoying) sponge is still on the air, but the first five seasons are here for your nostalgic pleasure. So grab your jelly-fishing net and avoid the Alaskan Bull Worm.

The first five seasons of SpongeBob SquarePants are available to stream on Amazon Video.

11. Avatar: The Last Airbender

Nickelodeon

This show did Game of Thrones better than Game of Thrones did Game of Thrones. Mythology, action, drama, and even romance, Avatar had it all. Most importantly, it featured the two best animal sidekicks ever animated, Appa and Momo.

Avatar: The Last Airbender can be streamed via NickHits on Amazon Video.

12. DuckTales

Disney

The original cartoon is also available to stream, but the 2017 reboot of DuckTales is just unhinged, animated chaos. It combines the Disney-infused nostalgia of the original with modern-day humor, plus it features David Tennant as Scrooge.

DuckTales is available to stream on Disney+.

13. The Proud Family

Disney

Ahead of the revival (!!), you can use your time at home to catch up with the Prouds and never skip the theme song by Destiny's Child and Solange.

The Proud Family is available to stream on Disney+.

14. Phineas and Ferb

Disney

As far as I'm concerned, this show should have been called Perry the Platypus and His Two Human Friends, but I digress. Phineas and Ferb had unbelievable adventures and got to spend a lot of time outside, which might make you a little jealous of them right now, but you should still watch!

Phineas and Ferb is available to stream on Disney+.

15. Recess

Disney

Recess was one of my favorites back in the day because it made me believe that I had the finesse to pull off pranks at school (I did not). You shouldn't pull pranks at school, but you definitely should take a trip down memory lane to a time when your biggest concern was getting detention.

Recess is available to stream on Disney+.

16. And finally, Kim Possible

Disney

She can do anything! Including making you feel like your problems are so not the drama. If you need any more convincing, allow me to remind you of the "Naked Mole Rap," a song that should have won 18 Grammys.

Kim Possible is available to stream on Disney+.
