It took firm hold of American hearts and souls in the 1920s with the advent of Walt Disney's revolutionary mouse and his groundbreaking Silly Symphonies. It continued in the 1940s with Warner Brothers cartoons and Merry Melodies. It soared through the 1950s and 1960s with cartoons from Jay Ward and Hanna-Barbera, who dominated the 1970s as well.

For 50 years parents have turned their kids on to Beatles music, and those kids have carried that torch forward to the next generation.

When they weren't chasing mammoths off cliffs, our ancestors were saving interesting stones, carving ivory tusks, or trading with other tribes. Why go through the trouble? The dude with the coolest stuff was seen as better able to care for off spring or lead the tribe to greatness. From Alibaba's lamp to Luke Skywalker's lightsaber (it is a hand-me-down, remember), mantiques are in our DNA.
