Ellen DeGeneres took a look at some of your childhood’s favorite cartoons and found them lacking.

Telling a story about her nieces and their cartoon addiction, DeGeneres admitted they were getting frustrated with her regular cartoon choices – Finding Nemo and Finding Nemo, of course. But when she let them watch Dora the Explorer (“She’s not exploring. She’s lost! Isn’t she lost? She’s always asking for directions – use the GPS on your phone like everybody else does.”) and Yo Gabba Gabba, DeGeneres said she was blown away by how lackluster they are.

So she flipped the channel to show them some of her favorites from childhood – Sesame Street, Winnie the Pooh, and the Jetsons. Sadly, now that she’s an adult, she had a completely different viewpoint on the classics.

Watch and giggle along as Ellen deconstructs the popular children’s shows.
