Watching some of the finest cartoons of all time was a privilege that we took for granted when we were kids. Now that we've grown up, and look at the kind of animated movies and TV shows the kids of today are subjected to, it's no wonder that we thank our stars for being born in that era. Coming to the topic at hand, while you were watching all those cartoons as kids you had also probably started to realize your love for cars. See if our list of the top animated cars of all time leads you down memory lane.

No matter how much the price of petrol rises, you'd never have to worry about it if you own such car. The only thing you'd want to make sure if you wish to drive this machine is to never skip leg day. The car from The Flintstones was powered by the sheer strength of the characters' legs. Those who have watched the show will never forget the wacky sound Fred Flintstone's legs would make when he'd wind them up and start driving the car.

The Emmy award-winning Batman: The Animated Series is one of the finest representations of the caped crusader in any form of media. The series' focus on intense storytelling, complex characters, and noir aesthetics gave a fresh aura to the character of Batman himself. The Batmobile featured in this series was sleek and stealthy and had all the trappings of what a Batman's car should look like.

The Mystery Mobile was the van that all the characters from Scooby-Doo cartoons used to travel around in while they carried on with their mystery-solving. This show was launched in the 1960s, which was a period that was seeing the height of the counterculture movement in the US. That is why it's not a surprise that the Mystery Machine's decals are inspired by flower power imagery.

This next entry to our list of the top animated cars of all time was featured in the anime series Speed Racer, which is known for its intense racing action. The best part about this mean machine was its steering wheel hub that had buttons labelled from A to G that each triggered various mechanisms, allowing the car to perform insane stunts. Take button F for example, which activated Frogger Mode and allowed the car to drive underwater, or button E, which activated Illuminating Eye, allowing Speed Racer to see farther and more clearly than with ordinary headlights.
