The Hollywood Reporter has a nice look back at the impact of the X-Men cartoon from the 90's.
This series is what got me in to comic books and I think it is one of the most important animated series or childrens' series to date.
I can't really think of any kids series that dealt with racism, sexism, and discrimination the way this show did. And it was unlike most other shows in going out of it's way to have a diverse cast with powerful female characters in prominent roles.
Also, it is worth remembering that this show helped make the X-Men crazy popular household names before the movies ever came out.
