Saw Kate Winslet's tits in Titanic and I was in love.

Yes, this.

I knew there was a reason I watched Titanic a lot on VHS when at my aunt's house, and it wasn't for Billy Zane's overacting.

Ok maybe a little of it was for that...

I admit that pre 80's, cartoon characters kids might find attractive were scarce, and even then the 90's was really were it took off, but any person in their 20's probably had a crush on a non-real character as a young kid.

She was the female hitwoman in Dumb and Dumber

This blew my mind
 
oh and of course Michelle Pfeiffer from Dangerous Minds. I think the candy giveaways and trips didn't help.

You seriously never heard of people finding someone like Jessica Rabbit attractive as children?

Attractive as in "If that were a real woman I would totally be in love with her"? Yes.

Actually in love with a cartoon character? No.

You can find a drawing / cartoon / 3-d model attractive, I get that... but having a crush / wanting to be in a relationship / wanting to fuck it? No. Especially with anthropomorphic animals... Sure, it has a semi-attractive body when it's drawn... but it's also covered in fur, has a tail a dog/cat/whatever's face.

If something like that was real, people would hunt it down with pitchforks and kill it, not want to stick their dicks in it...

Okay... most people wouldn't.

The hell?

I never said I or anyone else was in love with a drawing, dude. A crush? A crush is not serious, ESPECIALLY as a kid. I said was a young kid who thought Rogue from X-Men was cute, not I was some 40 year old maniac who wanted to screw some out of proportion goat-woman.

Where the feck is all this coming from?

As I said in my post on the last page, there's simple physical attraction and then there's an actual interest in a relationship (even if said individual doesn't know what constitutes one or that relationship is impossible, e.g. a family member).

I would consider a Crush/puppy love to be more than just simple attraction. And in the case of having a crush on someone that physically doesn't (and cannot) exist... that strikes me as strange.

Well I would posit that a lot of things children do are "strange".

I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree here. It sounds like there's a generational issue (I was born in the early 80s), though the cartoons I watched as a kid are the ones that seem to get the most mention (Duck Tales, Rescue Rangers, late 80s Disney, early 90s Fox Kids).

I'll admit that kids do lots of strange shit, but I'm seriously wondering how anyone could have an attraction to an animated cartoon character. Is it a personality thing, idolization ("Hero likes Female, I like Hero, therefore I will emulate Hero's attraction to Female.") I dunno. I will agree that depictions of the human form can be attractive, but it sounds to me like Pygmalion wishing an inanimate object would come to life.

I say ol chap, we were very matoor and logical for our age as young lads

Probably making a mistake taking such an obvious troll attempt seriously, but I don't think maturity or logic had anything to do with it. I wasn't a 7 year old going "Well, Mrs. Rabbit there is certainly attractive, but to form an attraction with a non-existent being would be illogical and quite improper! I shalt not feel such feelings!". The thought just never occurred to me to look at a cartoon character and feel anything for it other than the entertainment intended.

From the number of similar responses in this thread, either it's not an uncommon point of view or (gasp) there's a vast conspiracy to hide the fact that deep down we all want to marry the cartoon characters of our youth.

you are tying to make too much sense of it. Kids are kids, there are cartoon characters that some kids find cute and like the character for one of many reasons. If you wanna get deep about the reasons, look up psychological papers, or go write a new one if one hasn't been written yet.
 
Kristy McNichol was the first crush I remember. Sometime after, it was Jodie Foster in some cheap ass drama movie with Martin Sheen. You got to see her bare back, and it was the first time something moved.

Woah...Childlike Empress...I was so totally there. I didn't even understand the feelings I had for her, just that I liked her a lot and thought she was pretty. Her and the fairy from Legend.

Fun thread, really!
Anyway, when i was like 7 i had a HUGE crush on Athena/Saori Kido/Lady Isabel (as she was called in Italy)...
Frankly i'm a little sad to see i was apparently the only one around here madly attracted to her... :(

I thought she was a bitch, always hated her

Ah, Melanie Griffith. She was the "It girl" for awhile in the mid 90's.

Definitely Kelly from Saved by the Bell was numero uno. Also Kerri Green from "The Goonies."

I seriously can't believe I'm finding it weird that people DIDN'T have any thing for a non-live action character as a kid. What you like as a kid is COMPLETELY different from even as a teenager.

Surprised there has been no love for one of my biggest crushes as a kid -

Karate Kid, Back to the Future II & III, Cocktail, Adventures in Babysitting. So good.
