Line 248:
* Suzie Carmichael in ''[[Rugrats]]'' told Angelica where babies ''really'' came from, but since her mom is a doctor, it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. One of her older brothers, Edwin, is a much better example of this.
* Lisa Simpson on ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', and this has quite often been a plot point of the show.
** Maggie as well. In addition, it's been shown that she's very strong for a baby.
* Mac from ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'', who's become more mature to counteract his freewheeling friend, Bloo.
* Huey from ''[[The Boondocks]]''.
Line 261:
'''Aang''': You still ''are'' a kid! }}
*** Considering Katara's background, that line becomes particularly [[Tear Jerker|poignant and bittersweet]].
* Arnold from ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'' in spades. His grandfather in contrast is a bit of a manchild.
** Just about every kid in Arnold's class, actually. There's no way that's a group of fourth graders. No way.
*** But Arnold is the one they go to when they are in over their heads. Even the adults did this eventually.
Line 270:
* Jeremie Belpois of ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' is not just the leader of the [[Five-Man Band]], but devises all the planning and strategies in the fight against XANA, sometimes even keeping ahead of the malevolent AI. Hence, even for a [[Teen Genius]], he proves much more mature and serious that could be expected from any 11/12-year-old. At least, as long as Aelita isn't directly involved... then he can get emotional and show his true age.
* The ''[[Monster Buster Club]]'' members are twelve years old. Said twelve-year-olds regularly beat up evil aliens and save the day with a combination of gadgetry, teamwork, and physical prowess bordering on [[Charles Atlas Superpower]].
* In ''[[South Park]]'', all of the students with the exception of [[Cheerful Child|Butters]] have shown to be consistently more intelligent than the adults especially in the later episodes and understand many complex things. This is inverted with the adults who have a tendency to act like children, which is where a lot of the humor comes from.
** The basis of the main plot of the episode "Cartman Joins NAMBLA" is Cartman feeling too mature for his friends and attempting to make friends with adults. [[Shotacon|It worked far too well.]]
* This seems to be the entire premise of FOX's upcoming animated series, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL3aOAryx_c Allen Gregory].
Line 277:
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]''
* [[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy|Mandy]] may be a real bitch but she's EASILY the smartest character on the show.
