What is a Cartoon! (later known as The What a Cartoon! Show and The Cartoon Cartoon Show >) is an American animated showcase series created by Fred Seibert for Cartoon Network. Shorts are produced by Hanna-Barbera; at the end of the run, Cartoon Network Studios' production tags are added to some shorts to signal that they are native to the network. The project consists of 48 short cartoons, intended to restore creative power to animators and artists, by recreating the atmosphere that gave birth to iconic cartoon characters from the mid-20th century. Each of the shorts reflects the theatrical structure of the cartoon, with each film based on the original storyboard drawn and written by the artist or creator.
The series was first aired on February 20, 1995, and shorts promoted as World Premiere Toons . During the original run of the shorts, the series was titled for The What a Cartoon! Show and then to The Cartoon Cartoon Show until the last shorts aired on August 23, 2002. The project served as a launching point for several animated television series Cartoon Network, including The Powerpuff Girls (1998-2005), Dexter Laboratories, Johnny Bravo , Beef and Chicken , Courage of Cow Dogs , Mike, Lu & amp; Og , Lamb in Big City , What Happened... Robot Jones? , Codename: Kids Next Door , Grim & amp; Evil and Megas XLR and Fox's Family Guy .
The series was influential to give birth to many original Cartoon Network hits and helped revive television animation in the 1990s. After having some original shorts, they became the first Cartoon Cartoon (collective term for the original Cartoon Network retro series). From 2005 to 2008, The Cartoon Cartoon Show was revived as a block for reruns of old Cartoon Cartoons that have been phased out by the network.

Histori
Asal dan produksi
Fred Seibert became president of Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc. in 1992 and helped guide the animation studios that are struggling into their biggest output in years with performances like Stupid Dogs and Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron Seibert wants the studio to produce cartoons short, inside the American animated golden era. Although a project of 48 shorts will cost twice as much as the normal series, Seibert's pitch for Cartoon Network involves promising 48 chances to "succeed or fail", opening up possibilities for new original programming, and offering some new shorts to the thousands already available. present at Turner Entertainment library. According to Seibert, quality does not really matter to cable operators who are distributing struggling networks, they are more interested in promising new programs.
With Turner Broadcasting CEO Ted Turner and Seibert boss Scott Sassa, the studio is spreading across the globe to spread the word that studios are in an "unprecedented phase", where animators have a better idea of ​​what cartoons should be rather than executives and Hanna-Barbera supporting them. The company started taking pitch in earnest in 1993 and received over 5,000 pitch for 48 slots. The diversity in filmmakers includes various nationalities, races, and gender. Seibert then described his hopes for idealistic diversity as "The wider the palette of creative influences, the wider and larger the audience."
Seibert's idea for the project is strongly influenced by Looney Tunes. The founders and heads of Hanna-Barbera, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, as well as veteran animator Friz Freleng, taught Seibert how the shorts from the American animated Golden Age were produced. John Kricfalusi, creator of The Ren & amp; Stimpy Show , becoming a kind of teacher for Seibert and was the first person to be called Seibert while looking for new talent for the project.
As is the habit in direct action films and television, the company does not pay any creators to the storyboard that is put forward and pitched. For the first time in studio history, each creator can retain the rights, and earn royalties for their work. While most in the industry scoff at ideas, the impulse, according to Seibert, comes from cartoonists who flock to Hanna-Barbera with original ideas.
Format
Format for What are Cartoons! is ambitious, because no one has ever tried anything similar in the era of television animation. The resulting shorts will be the product of the original cartoonist's vision, without executive intervention: for example, even music will be an individually created score. Each short "Looney Tunes" (7 minutes) will debut, by itself, as a stand-alone cartoon on Cartoon Network. Seibert explains the project goal in a 2007 blog post: "We do not care what the sitcom trend is, what Nickelodeon does, what the sales department wants. [...] We want cartoons."
Crew
The What are Cartoons! The staff has creators from Europe (Bruno Bozzetto), Asia (Achiu So), and the United States (Jerry Reynolds and Seth MacFarlane's colleagues). The crew also contains first-timer series (such as Genndy Tartakovsky, Craig McCracken, Rob Renzetti, Butch Hartman, and John R. Dilworth), but veterans as well (like Don Jurwich, Jerry Eisenberg, and Ralph Bakshi). In addition to the veterans, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera each produced two shorts each for What is a Cartoon! . Many key crew members from the previous Hanna-Barbera series 2 Stupid Dogs joined the What a Cartoon team! too.
Many crew members then went on to write and go directly to Dexter Laboratories, Johnny Bravo , Beef and Chicken , I Am Weasel >, and The Powerpuff Girls , including the ones mentioned above. The Kitchen Casanova director John McIntyre is best known for directing several episodes of Dexter . Two shorts Ralph Bakshi ( Malcom and Melvin and Babe! He... My Calls ) are considered too obscene to display. It has been reported that John Kricfalusi is scheduled to direct several new shorts (produced by his production company, SpÃÆ'¼mcÃÆ'¸). However, both Yogi Bear - influenced cartoons are assigned separately by Seibert, and instead aired as their own: Boo Boo Runs Wild and A Day in the Life of Ranger Smith both aired in 1999.
Inspired by Seibert's interest in modern rock posters Frank Kozik, each of the show's creators worked with Creator Hanna-Barbera Creative Corps Internal Creative Director Bill Burnett, and Senior Art Director Jesse Stagg to create high quality series, limited editions, glittering art posters. The Corps launched a prolonged Guerrilla delivery campaign, targeting heavyweight animations and critiques that led to the launch of World Premiere Toons . The first poster campaign of its kind introduced the world to innovative new characters.

The project was broadcasted entirely as The Powerpuff Girls on "Meat Fuzzy Lumkins" , which made its world premiere on Monday, February 20, 1995, during a television show called World Premiere Toon -In (termed "President's Day Nightmare" by its producer, Williams Street). This special event is hosted by Space Ghost and Space Ghost Coast to Coast players, and features comic interviews and artificial contests with cartoon makers. Toon-In is broadcast on Cartoon Network, TBS Superstation, and TNT. To promote shorts, Cartoon Network's marketing department came up with the concept of "Dive-In Theater" in 1995 to showcase 48 cartoon shorts. The cartoons were shown in water parks and large city pools, taking care of the children and their parents for an exclusive poolside shooting on a 9 'x 12' movie screen.

Two pilots entitled King Crab: Space Crustacean and Thrillseeker , each dated 1999 and 2000, were also retrofitted into The Cartoon Cartoon Show anthology.

On September 12, 2005, The Cartoon Cartoon Show was revived, this time as a half-hour program featuring an older Cartoon Cartoon segment that no longer appears regularly on the network, such as Cow and Chicken , I Am Weasel , and more. Some Cartoon Cartoons were moved exclusively to this event and Top 5, although there were also some overlaps with events that already had regular half-hour slots outside the series.
