Revision as of 21:35, 24 June 2017
Cartoon Cartoons is a collective name used by Cartoon Network for their original series from 1997 to 2003. The majority of them were produced by Hanna-Barbera and/or Cartoon Network Studios. The concept of Cartoon Cartoons was spearheaded by Fred Seibert, and originated from his animation anthology series, What a Cartoon! (later re-titled to The Cartoon Cartoon Show). Once their popularity had grown, the Cartoon Cartoons were featured on the network's Friday night programming block, Cartoon Cartoon Fridays.
The name was retired by the network in 2003. Since their heyday, re-runs of the Cartoon Cartoons have continued to air on The Cartoon Cartoon Show (2005–2008) and Cartoon Planet (2012–2014).
History
See also: What a Cartoon!Cartoon Cartoons first appeared as shorts on animation showcase series What a Cartoon! in 1995, under the name of World Premiere Toons. The series was produced by Hanna-Barbera and Cartoon Network Studios under the direction of Fred Seibert. Seibert had been a guiding force for Nickelodeon (having overseen the creation of Nicktoons shortly prior to his departure) prior to joining Hanna-Barbera and would establish Frederator Studios years later.
Through What a Cartoon!, Cartoon Network was able to assess the potential of certain shorts to serve as pilots for spin-off series and signed contracts with their creators to create ongoing series. Dexter's Laboratory was the most popular short series according to a vote held in 1995, and became the first Cartoon Cartoon in 1996. Three more series based on shorts debuted in 1997: Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, and I Am Weasel (the latter two as segments of the same show; I Am Weasel was later spun off into a separate show). These are followed by The Powerpuff Girls in 1998. The series Ed, Edd n Eddy premiered in 1999. and concluded with Mike, Lu & Og and Courage the Cowardly Dog in 1999, creating a lineup of critically acclaimed shows.
About the moniker Cartoon Cartoon, it was officially introduced in July 1997. But during November 1998, it was renamed as Cartoon Cartoons instead.
The Cartoon Cartoons aired prominently throughout the network's schedule and on the Friday night programming block, Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, which became the marquee night for premieres of new episodes and series beginning on June 11, 1999.
The Cartoon Cartoons were intended to appeal to a wider audience than the average Saturday morning cartoon. Linda Simensky, vice president of original animation, reminded adults and teenage girls that cartoons could appeal to them as well. Kevin Sandler's article on them claimed that these cartoons were both less "bawdy" than their counterparts at Comedy Central and less "socially responsible" than their counterparts at Nickelodeon. Sandler pointed to the whimsical rebelliousness, high rate of exaggeration and self-consciousness of the overall output which each individual series managed.
In June of 2003 The Cartoon Cartoons brand was temporary discontinued and the openings of Cartoon Cartoons that were shown before the opening of the actual Cartoon Cartoons show was dropped. Also that same month Cartoon Cartoon Fridays was replaced by Summer Fridays that was the first Cartoon Network Friday-themed program block to not feature the Cartoon Cartoons names and was the first to not air under the Cartoon Cartoons brand. Summer Fridays also features shows that are not a Cartoon Cartoons original series and syndicated series that originally aired on other networks prior to Cartoon Network. These shows include Teen Titans, What's New Scooby Doo, and Samurai Jack.
Cartoon Cartoons is popularly recognizable for its famous jazzy-7-note theme song (composed by Steve Mank) that is first heard during its brand name introduction in 1997. In 1999, Michael Kohler worked with Mank to make a remixed version for Cartoon Cartoon Fridays. In 2000, Primal Screen composed the original extended version of the song and it was used for the What a Cartoon! (The Cartoon Cartoon Show) reruns as an intro and ending, as well in promos of Cartoon Cartoon Summer and Cartoon Cartoon Primetime. Despite that the network stopped to use their original logo in June 14, 2004, the ending part of the song is still played at the Cartoon Network Productions "Ripple" logo (among with the 1992-2004 Cartoon Network logo, blue rings from the bumper that appear behind the logo while the music plays, the parent company byline ("A Time Warner Company" from 1999-2001; 2003-present and "An AOL Time Warner Company" (2001-2003), the Service Mark (1999-early-mid 2014) and Trade Mark symbols (late 2014-2016) that can be seen on all CN shows made from 1999 to 2016 and takes place on a black background (with the exception of DreamWorks Dragons), starting with Ed, Edd n Eddy. It is also played on Asian-exclusive logo that features the 2010 CN logo with the copyright notice or information displayed below on some shows that were made and distributed by Cartoon Network Asia such as Animal Control (Season 1) and Courage the Cowardly Dog: The Fog of Courage. The only difference between its closing bumper and this production logo is there is no any CN characters that say "Cartoon Cartoons" after the music is played.
Programming blocks
More shows premiered bearing the Cartoon Cartoons brand, airing throughout the network's schedule and prominently on "Cartoon Cartoon Fridays", which became the marquee night for premieres of new episodes and shows beginning June 11, 1999. In June 2003, the block was rebooted under an hybrid live-action format as "Fridays", hosted by Tommy Snider and Nzinga Blake, who was later replaced by later co-host Tara Sands. It aired shows outside the "Cartoon Cartoon" moniker, such as Samurai Jack, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, Camp Lazlo, My Gym Partner's a Monkey and Squirrel Boy. The last airing of "Fridays" was on February 23, 2007.
As early as September 2005, the "Cartoon Cartoons" label was primarily used for The Cartoon Cartoon Show, a half-hour program featuring episodes of older Cartoon Cartoons that were no longer shown regularly on the network, and "Cartoon Cartoons The Top 5", an hour-long program featuring a countdown of the week's five "best" Cartoon Cartoons from the older lineup.
The block Cartoon Planet was revived on Cartoon Network on March 30, 2012, airing in a format similar to The Cartoon Cartoon Show. It features Cartoon Cartoons such as Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, I Am Weasel, The Powerpuff Girls, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Codename: Kids Next Door, and other original Cartoon Network Studios series such as Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Camp Lazlo, and Chowder.
