11 Retro Cartoon T-Shirts Guaranteed To Unlock Some Serious Nostalgia

We all have that one cartoon - or maybe two or even three - that, the second we hear the opening theme tune again, or even look it up for a comfort watch on YouTube (hey, we've had Charlie Chalk on whilst writing this), takes us straight back to our childhoods and hits us in all right in the feels.

Always looking for ways to share our love for our favourite shows we grew up with, it's with our epic and ever-growing collection of retro T-Shirts and cartoon T-Shirts that we've captured that very feeling of comfort and nostalgia!

Bring those memories flooding right back and transform your everyday style with our top toon-tastic picks that are guaranteed to bring back som major nostalgia…

Transformers Optimus Prime T-Shirt

Transformers Optimus Prime Ecru T-Shirt

There's definitely more than meets the eye when it comes to those Transformers Robots in Disguise! Oh, how we secretly wished that our family car - and others along our road - growing up could morph into Optimus Prime and overthrow those malevolent Decepticons! We've captured Optimus at his epic best in the print on our exclusive Transformers T-Shirt.

SuperTed Charcoal T-Shirt

Superted Charcoal T-Shirt

Heroic - but in a slightly different way - was one little Ted who was far from ordinary, bought to life by Spotty Man and Mother Nature with some cosmic dust and special superpowers, and that was SuperTed! Lovingly narrated by the legendary Derek Griffiths in the late 80s and early 90s on CBBC, you'll feel equally supercharged with our SuperTed T-Shirt.

Women's She-Ra Princess Of Power Fitted T-Shirt

Women's Charcoal She-Ra Princess Of Power Fitted T-Shirt

This is one tee that'll transform you into the most exciting and powerful woman in the universe, for the honour of Grayskull: She-Ra! Bringing girl power to 80s toons, this fearless freedom fighter was a true heroine, and we feel sure that when you pop this She-Ra T-Shirt on you'll be ready to liberate Etheria from the deadly forces of Hordak!

Dungeons And Dragons Cartoon T-Shirt

Dungeons And Dragons Cartoon Navy Marl T-Shirt

One cartoon that always ended on a weekly cliffhanger was one that was inspired by one of the world's most epic role-playing board games: Dungeons and Dragons! Forever making us suspicious of getting on dark rides at theme parks, if you were one of the millions who tuned in each week wondering if Hank, Eric, Diana, Presto and the gang were ever going to find their way home, this Dungeons and Dragons T-Shirt is the one for you!

Women's Rainbow Brite Made in the 80s Fitted T-Shirt

Women's Rainbow Brite Made in the 80s Fitted T-Shirt

Rainbow Brite undoubtedly captured the technicolour vibrancy of the 80s more than any other cartoon. With the little magic leader of the Colour Kids, her friends the Sprites and her magical horse Starlite, this bright and cheerful Rainbow Brite T-Shirt that proudly ties her to being “Made in the 80s” is sure to keep that miserable Murky Dismal at bay - even on the greyest of days!

My Little Pony Meadows White T-Shirt

My Little Pony Meadows White T-Shirt

Like so many 80s cartoons that found themselves born out of a much-loved toy line - and My Little Pony was no exception, galloping onto our screens after becoming a hit with a generation of all young equine fans everywhere. This bright and beautiful My Little Pony T-Shirt features the classic logo and four original G1 ponies happily trotting about a wildflower meadow that'll be perfect for your next adventure in Ponyland!

Rugrats Group Vintage Wash Charcoal T-Shirt

Rugrats Group Vintage Wash Charcoal T-Shirt

First introduced to UK audiences on Live & Kicking on Saturday mornings, Nickelodeon's 90s classic The Rugrats took a weekly look at life in the playpen for Tommy, Chuckie, Phil and Lil, and the bossy Angelica Pickles. Our classic Rugrats T-Shirt pays homage to this much-loved toon and is one you'll want to wear when you're playing hide and go peep!

Spider T-Shirt

Spider Ecru T-Shirt

One of the most adorable cures for arachnophobia on CBBC in the early 90s was the musical and merry adventures of Spider. Over 13 episodes, meeting a rocking Crocodile, Little Miss M, staying overnight with a Panda and chasing after hamsters, our eight-legged chum became friends with the boy in the stories - and our Spider T-Shirt is definitely one that's only scary cos' it's hairy!

Moomin Sunshine T-Shirt
