All’s fair in love and war in cartoon-land as TELETOON Retro couples pursue the love of fans and a spot in TELETOON Retro’s Hall of Fame as the Top 5 Sweethearts in honour of Valentine’s Day. Starting today and running until Sunday, February 6, viewers can vote at www.teletoonretro.com for their top 5 favourite cartoon love matches, for a place in TELETOON Retro history.
TELETOON Retro has narrowed the field to 18 classic animated admirers and is inviting fans to select which couples are the Top 5 Sweethearts of all-time. The list of nominees for the Top 5 Sweethearts is made up of the following cartoon couples:
· Smurfette and Hefty Smurf

Following the voting period, the Top 5 Sweethearts will be announced on Friday, February 11 and a special programming marathon featuring all five couples will air as part of the “Retro Rewind” programming block on Sunday, February 13 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. ET.
These winners will be inducted into the TELETOON Retro Hall of Fame, joining the Top 5 favourite cartoon characters of all-time as chosen by the fans in December 2010. TELETOON Retro Hall of Fame was the inaugural campaign that inducted the Top 5 TELETOON Retro characters of all time. Viewers were encouraged to cast their votes for their most beloved cartoon favourites and the winners were announced in December, with Bugs Bunny, Scooby-Doo, Optimus Prime, Batman and Spider-man taking the Top 5 spots, respectively.
