When we were younger we were fascinated by fictional characters and items we saw in cartoons and animated shows. Let’s take a look at some of them:
1. The superhero cape
Who didn’t want to be a superhero when they were younger? We all wanted to be that we made makeshift superheroes capes. After seeing Batman and Superman soar in the air saving lives, we thought we could do same.
2. Ben 10’s Omnitrix
Ben 10’s Omnitrix was another favourite The fact that he could turn into different aliens with different powers was just cool. That explains why there were so many knock-off versions that we all wore at some point.
3. Dora’s backpack
Dora’s backpack was everything we wanted in a backpack. It could talk and give you directions. Imagine all the adventures one would likely get into and all the trouble you would have gotten out of when you were younger and the backpack came to rescue.
4. Flying cars
Can you count the number of times you sat at the back of your parents’ car in traffic, wishing your car could just fly like the flying cars in Batman Beyond and Blade Runner? Flying cars come handy in beating the ever-blazing traffic especially in Lagos city.
5. The kids next door treehouse
The kids next door were the coolest kids ever because they had their advanced treehouse with all kinds of cool inventions. It was so fascinating to look at back then, wasn’t it?
