Gah, you guys make me feel old! And I'm only 22...
Earliest memory was getting chased by a duck when I was 3.
I grew up watching Garfield every Saturday morning, as well as Rude Dog, Rescue Rangers, and a few years later, Doug.
First movie was 101 Dalmations.
My childhood was great other than being constantly made fun of at school. (gee, that's a new one, eh?) We always had a lot of animals, so I spent most of my time outside playing with the dogs, cats, and pony. Or wandering around the creek trying to catch minnows or playing in my treehouse.
*sigh* Great stuff. I miss having pets and getting to go outside and roam around.

Earliest memory...
I was at my grandma's, I got no idea what age I was, but I could just barely walk and was learning to talk. I was walking towards the front door, when grandma asked me where was I going. I pointed at the door and tried to say "There," and then I was mad with myself 'cause I couldn't pronounce it properly.
Not very surprisingly, my favorite game as a kid was pretending to be some kind of an animal. Wolf being one of the favorites, though mom didn't let me howl in the house.

Do we really need the solution? Couldn't we just enjoy the problem for now?

I have no idea what my first memorie is. I have lots of old ones, though I'm not sure which is the oldest. I also have memories but am not sure if they really happened or are just old dreams.
Anyways:
LOVED The Care Bears and My Little Ponies. Me and my mom used to go around places with used things and look for Care Bear toys/stuff animals/books whatever. I'd watch all the Care Bear tapes I could find. Loved the first two movies the most. Thought the third one was just alright.
I didnt really watch too much tv when I was younger, I'd watch tapes and things my parents taped for me off the tv. Also loved the Garfield specials, Tom and Jerry, Pee Wees Playhouse.
Watched all the animated Disney movies. And the Don Bluth movies.
Read Henry and Mudge series, Spot books, I Spy books, Clifford, and Arthur.
Also, I had(still have) a ton of coloring books, but prefered tracing over them with computer paper then actually color them
I played with Disney action figures, McDs/Burger King toys, legos, building blocks, animal toys, Littlest Pet Shop, My Little Ponies, Care Bears and the stuff they came with(Care-A-Lot castle, CloudCars, ect) and Jurrasic Park dinosaurs (I lost my raptor toy, I still want to find it. It was frickin awesome!)
Other stuff I watched in my later childhood:
Aladdin series
The Little Mermaid series, Rescue Rangers,Gargoyles, Goof Troop, Bonkers
Boy Meets World, Step by Step, Full House, Sabrina, Dinosaurs, Family Matters(TGIF line up!)
The Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, Teenage Mutent Ninja Turtles(Also loved the live action movies)
And I was really into the Disney Adventures magazine

Um, nobody believes me, but, earliest memory, would have to be me being born. I'm serious okay, I don't remember THAT much, but I do have some imagry of the event flowing around in my head.
Okay, earliest fully coherent memory, would be me trying to learn how to walk. Which I actually can prove, as I remember enough subtle details that my folks can confirm I know what I'm talking about.
Happiest early memories though, well.... getting an NES was pretty good, but I'm going to have to say, the family camping trips to George-Lake Alaska. Just this huge picturiesque body of water full of clams and whitefish and surrounded by forests, beaches, and rocky shores. The amount of mischief I got into there is almost staggering.

Well, I remember I only watched cartoons with animals in them, and I cried when something bad happend to the animals...
My favorite game was 'being' some kind of animal, most of the time a dog and a wolf. But only, it didn't just remain a game : my mom told me that when I was young, I always acted like an animal and even refused to learn how to walk . So I guess you get born with therianthropy .

*gasp* You are my long-lost sister!
I had the Jurassic Park compound and spent hours on end playing with that thing! Greatest toy ever!
I also collected hotwheels. I think I had almost 50 at one point.

I remember waking up at 6 to watch Digimon. I know I played with lego constantly I was always building towers and proding by brother with them. The first movie/s were the The Land Before Time. I had almost all of them. I would always imitate Ducky. I don't know where they are now. Earliest memory would be when I was 3 or 4 my Dad left me in the van to go fishing. Man, was I p*ssed.

All the sh1t I've gone through on the schools I've been on, and the several therapy's I've had because of the nightmares I've had back then (yes, I had them a lot back then). Also, I'm now realising that my best friend and I have been friends for over 6 years now. Damn... Time flies.

First movie ever on the big screen was the original release of Star Wars, back in 1977.
Favorite kid's shows back in the early eighties would include Captain Kangaroo and a thing called "Gigglesnort Hotel." Its cast were mostly puppets, except for one live actor. It was set in a hotel, whose owner was an eccentric old man who thought he was a captain in charge of a ship. I also followed the various "Kroft Superstars" shows, the most memorable of which was Land of the Lost.
I also had a head start on Anime fandom, as one of the earliest cartoons I followed was "Battle of the Planets," a b*stardized version of "Science Ninja Team Gatchaman." Soon after I followed "Star Blazers," a redub of "Space Battlecruiser Yamato." And, I followed the king of American revisionist Anime, "Robotech."
I remember Fangface coming out, too. I also remember a cartoon based on Teen Wolf. Other cartoons I followed include "Superfriends," "G.I. Joe"--the eighties version, the original "Transformers," "The Real Ghostbusters" (so named because it was the one based on the movie characters, to set itself apart from another series that took the name "Ghostbusters"), and "Muppet Babies."
As for movies watched over and over until the parents went insane, I didn't have VCRs, so I had to catch them each time they came on. But, I saw Day of the Triffids 17 times; it was a sci-fi thriller about a monster plant invasion. I also watched ad-nauseum Empire of the Ants.
The one movie I have seen most often is Star Trek III: the Search for Spock. I lost count of the total number of times I've seen it, but it must be in the thirties. The first time I saw it, I cried when they self-destructed the Enterprise.

Well, I have a vague early memory of...swallowing a bandaid. O.O; And I think one of my earlier dreams was about a clown book, and riding my dad's shoulders in the dark...and an exit sign over the bathroom door. That was a weird dreem.
I saw The Lion King four times in theaters...I also watched My Neighbor Totoro a lot (that movie's helped form who I am, I think!)
And a lot of my brother's interests rubbed off on me. Godzilla, Garfield, Ninja Turtles...all some of our top fascinations.
Of course, I played at being an animal every day, too. that or similar playing with my many stuffed animals.

Very fond memories of cartoons in my youth.
Gargoyles, Tail Spin, Duck Tales.......flash forward to today..I'm awaiting Guardians of Luna
I took refuge in my world of imagination, it granted me solitude.
Sometimes I feel cheated out of my child hood. I still play video-games and watch cartoons to grasp some sort of closure that conflicts me from within.
I recently started to praty, date, and relish insane boozed fuel night-life.
Still, I can sigh recalling back then when kids were innocent. Games were not violent, Michael Jackson wasn't a bleached perv........Metallica wasn't scared of Napster.

Oh wow. What do I remember from being little. BEANIE BABIES! I collected them like crazy! (didnt everybody?) I still have a few.
I also used to have a doll house and I bought all the Jurassic Park toys and made the dinosaurs attack the house. It was great! And then inside the house would be Batman and Aladin and Simba and the normal dollhouse people and horses. I was a weird kid. I mixed all my toys. And sometimes Id make me ferrets attack the house. Poor things....
TV wise, I remember power rangers way too well. "Go go power rangers! you mighty morphin power rangers!" And when I was really little I was obsessed with Barney.
What is it about little kids and dinosaurs?
Hey, anybody remember Gulla Gulla Island on Nickolodeon. And Stick Stckley and Face. Weird...
