Revision as of 14:35, 7 August 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.
The "Cartoon Cartoon" brand was first introduced in July of 1997 for the network's Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, originally part of the network's Friday night programming block. This block would become 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 temporarily discontinued and the openings of Cartoon Cartoons that were shown before the opening of the actual Cartoon Cartoons show was dropped. That same month "Summer Fridays" replaced Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, making it the first Cartoon Network Friday-themed program block not to feature the Cartoon Cartoons names or air under the Cartoon Cartoons brand. Summer Fridays also featured shows that were not a Cartoon Cartoons series and syndicated series that originally aired on other networks, such as Teen Titans, What's New Scooby Doo, and Samurai Jack.
Cartoon Cartoons also had a jazzy-7-note theme song (composed by Steve Mank). The song was first played in a promo titled "What's That?" for the brand's 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 improved-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 the network no longer using the "Cartoon Cartoons" logo on June 14, 2004, the ending part of the song is still used in the Cartoon Network "Ripple" logo (along 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 used for an 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 the logo and closing bumper is there the lack of any CN characters that say "Cartoon Cartoons" after the music is played.
