Sextuple time must not be confused with compound duple time
This is a message at the
Sextuple time article. I always though they were the same thing at different tempos. Anything contrary to this piece of information that shows that they're different in any way besides tempo??

Maybe a difference in things like beat stress (secondary stresses and the like). You could count 6 beats per measure as 1 2 3 4 5 6 or as 1 2 3 4 5 6 or as 1 2 3 4 5 6; while each may be written as a 6/8 time signature, whether one is considering the piece as sextuple time or as compound time would of course depend on the "feel" and "swing" of the piece. --

6/8 is usually a duple meter. At the speed of an average Mozart 6/8 rondo finale, you cannot really feel it as 6 beats, but rather as 1-and-a-2-and-a. The sextuple interpretation will require some explanation, like a marking "in six", or if there is a constant quarter-note pulse. They are not the same thing: one has two beats (and would be more clearly written as 2/[dotted quarter]) while the other has six.
Furthermore, I would expect that 1 2 3 4 5 6 would be more likely to be written as 3/2 instead of 6/4, even if there is a constant quarter-note pulse, so that it will not be misinterpreted as the more common 1 2 3 4 5 6. An example is in Musorgsky's Trepak from Songs and Dances of Death, shifting between 4/4 and 3/2 (nevertheless with six obvious beats to the bar).

List of cartoons that came out in the 80s-90s (from 1985-2000) in Cartoon Network
Hey,(InedibleHulk—
Russell.mo) Maybe it's not you're cup of tea, but Samurai Jack has great style and action, as well as a certain dreamy/trippy sensibility. You might also like
Star_Wars:_Clone_Wars_(2003_TV_series), which has some of the same aesthetic and creative people involved. The whole run of shorts is on youtube here
[1], and works pretty well as a ~2 hour movie. Very little dialogue (so perhaps easier for Russell.mo), and much better than the Star Wars I-III movies :) Let me know if you like them!

I guess you can call it as the cartoons that played in that time period, because some things dates are not matching in what Hulky stated, but most of the info that I require to know, are there... --
