Hi all! I am in town for a week to visit with my mom. We don't get to spend much mother-daughter time together, but lately Steven Universe has become our thing.

Here's the problem, we binged watched the whole show last time I was in town, and I am hoping to find a show similar to it.

What do I mean by that? I love a story driven plot with vibrant and 3 dimensional characters and the songs are icing on the cake.

Do you know any other cute cartoons that have deeper meanings and rich stories?

I've heard a lot about Gravity Falls but I sort of want something more Wizard of Oz-like, and I don't know if mom would enjoy Over the Garden Wall. What are some good suggestions, /co/?

Bonus points if it has musical episodes, and a slightly cutesy chibi look.

Thanks!
>>
over the garden wall has the things you want

>>80976914
I don't know if my mom would like it. I appreciated it, but it felt too slow and... it lacked something, I don't know what.

What about just going by plot and character driven stories? Any other suggestions?
>>
Have you considered anime? It seems like you might have an easier time finding what you're looking for in one.

Other than that the only thing I can think to suggest is Wakfu. The story is good, the characters are fun, and it has a cute anime-inspired art style

Trying to find something as good as SU in those regards is sadly a fool's errand.

I've had a lot of people try to sell Adventure Time on me as similar, but it's never hooked me that hard. From what I've seen, though, it does have some pretty neat parts and definitely a Wizard of Oz feel. Also songs!

Beyond that, though, you may have to make concessions. If you want cute characters and a Wizard of Oz feel, look into Gumball. If you want a a strong story driven-plot with meaning, go for something like OTGW. If you want songs, you may even want to look into MLP.

>Have you considered anime?
I would've recommended Madoka and One Punch Man, but if OTGW is too slow then pretty much no anime is going to fly. Even the slapstick stuff is pretty slow-paced.

Good job OP. If you're being honest here, I hope you find something that works for you and your mum. But if you have ulterior motives, even better, as the SU hatebase will have a hard time responding to this.

It's because few cartoons fulfil this.
>Do you know any other cute cartoons that have deeper meanings and rich stories?

I can name cute cartoons but they are episodic with no real plot. Meanwhile the cartoons with strong plots are action cartoons.

I have never seen it, but maybe MLP is what OP is looking for?
>>
>>80976837
Well, you might consider some of the shows the creators of SU like to reference and seem to have taken inspiration from, like Revolutionary Girl Utena, Sailor Moon, and Invader Zim.
>>
>>80977993
>>80976837

I just remembered, something you might want to look into OP is Star vs the Forces of Evil. Unlike SU, it has fewer episodes and is in hiatus right now, and the plot is not hinted at till the last episodes.
And if you don't mind 3D cartoons maybe Miraculous Ladybug could work. First like 20 episodes are episodic but the plot gets around the last few episodes as well.

OP your demand in a cartoon in that high regards is slim to none.

Please fuck off with your lesbian rocks show and quit sucking the shows dick

Watch a few episodes of Wander Over Yonder. It can be a saccharine at times and it's much lighter in terms of lore and worldbuilding but it's really cute with fantastic art and character design that often reminds me of Samurai Jack. It also has great musical numbers.

Over the garden wall

And after all, the whole series combined is as long as a normal movie so not much time instead of SU which should be around 8 hours by now or something

Very good cartoon, I wish they made more episodes, even though it did have a solid conclusion.

I don't know what you mean by "deeper meanings", but Wander Over Yonder is a cute, fun cartoon that gets story driven during the second season. If you like SU, you'll like Wander, but for different reasons. It has much stronger comedy, visuals, and even songs, but as a trade off, the main characters don't have a lot of depth to them (there's still some, but that's saved for specific episodes or side-characters like the Black Cube of Darkness) and the overall story is more simplistic. But nonetheless I highly recommend it.

No, OP. Don't listen to this dickhead. Forcing their bullshit. I wouldn't even give it a teaser watch. It's boring as fuck and is too cute for it's own good, it thrives on cringe.
>>
>>80979993
I've heard believably good things about the second season, but I admit I didn't get that far when actually watching it for reasons you mention.

Watching through this now myself. A lot of episodes are hit or miss, but I can't bring myself to stop watching it because I know it's ending soon. And when I let it, it's actually kinda fun(ny), fuckin Emperor Awesome.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic sounds like something you'd like.

>cute characters and stories

The more dramatic stories start happening in Season 2 and onwards, but all of its good. The movies are okay, but not required.
