The Cartoon
Blast From the Past
So my brother and I talked about Ben 10 on our YouTube channel this week, and the concept of "great cartoon ideas" came up.
It occurred to me that Ben 10 has one of the strongest concepts ever. A kid has 10 aliens on his watch, all of which provide different mechanisms for action and storytelling. But the Omnitrix can expand past those ten aliens and the story can take the audience to different places with diverse landscapes, with a huge variety of plot possibilities. The concept is so strong that they've managed to make four different series and keep fans interested with all the new alien designs.
It made me wonder what you all think about which animated series have the strongest driving concepts, and why.
