Tom & Jerry.

When I was a kid we only had two TV stations. Public. Once a week they showed a Tom & Jerry cartoon. Sometimes they'd show Czech or Polish cartoons as well. 3 p.m. on Christmas Eve they showed a Christmas themed Disney potpourri. They still do. Roughly 40% of the population watch this exact same potpourri every Christmas Eve because it's TRADITION!!!!1!ONE!

Tom & Jerry holds a very special place in the hearts of Swedes over the age of 25. The movie club at my old college always shows a Tom & Jerry episode before the main feature. They say the ticket price is actually for the cartoon and the movie gets thrown in as a bonus.

I don't know, there's this sense of craftsmanship in the good old cartoons.
