For decades, kids woke up early on Saturday mornings in rapt anticipation of the long-standing tradition of Saturday Morning Cartoons. The ’90s saw an amazing innovation in cartoons: Nickelodeon introduced a new line of original animation called Nicktoons, and they were on Sunday mornings. Yes, the weekend suddenly had a new contender for the favorite day all over the country as Sundays finally had the same entertainment value as Saturdays. Only, these new cartoons weren’t the same old hat, either; they were imaginative shows that pushed the boundaries of animation. Thanks to the ’90s, the world would never the same.
Now you can get excited about the ’90s again with these Playing Cards from Aquarius! These cards will take you back to your lazy childhood Sundays, watching the world of cartoons reach new heights as you eat your cereal. With beautiful artwork and classic playing card form, these cards will take your nostalgia to a whole new level.
