In 1991, Turner Entertainment purchased animation studio Hanna-Barbera Productions for US$320 million.* [5] Cartoon Network is an American basic cable and satellite television channel that is owned by the Turner Broadcasting System division of Time Warner. The Cohen era: 1992–2001 channel airs mainly animated programming, ranging from action to animated comedy. It was founded by Betty Cohen and launched on October 1, 1992. It is primarily aimed at children and teenagers between the ages of 7–15, and also targets older teens and adults with mature content during its late night daypart Adult Swim, which is treated as a separate entity for promotional purposes and as a separate channel by Nielsen for ratings purposes.* [1] A Spanish language audio track for select programs is accessible via SAP; some cable and satellite companies offer the Spanish feed as a separate channel. As of August 2013, Cartoon Network is available to approximately 98,671,000 pay television households (86.4% of households with television) in the United States.* [2]

History
Development: 1986–92 On August 4, 1986, Ted Turner's Turner Broadcasting System acquired Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/United Artists from Kirk Kerkorian; due to concerns over the debt load of his companies, on October 17, 1986, Turner was forced to sell MGM back to Kerkorian after approximately only 74 days of ownership. However, Turner kept much of MGM's film and television library made prior to May 1986 (as well as some of the United Artists library) and formed Turner Entertainment.* [3]

Launch On February 18, 1992, Turner Broadcasting System announced its plans to launch the Cartoon Network as an outlet for Turner's considerable library of animation.* [6] The channel's launch occurred on October 1, 1992, and was hosted by the MGM cartoon character Droopy in a special event called Droopy's Guide to the Cartoon Network, during which the first cartoon on the network, The Great Piggy Bank Robbery, was shown.* [7]* [8]* [9]* [10] Initial programming on the channel consisted exclusively of reruns of classic Warner Bros. cartoons (the pre-1950 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies), the 1933–1957 Popeye cartoons, MGM cartoons, and Hanna-Barbera cartoons.* [6] At first, cable providers in New York City, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and Detroit carried the channel.* [9] By the time the network launched, Cartoon Network had an 8,500-hour cartoon library.* [11] From its launch until 1995, the network's announcers said the network's name with the word “The”added before “Cartoon Network”, thus calling the network “The Cartoon Network”. By the time that the network debuted, Cartoon Network also operated a programming block (containing its cartoons) that aired on TNT, entitled “Cartoon Network on TNT”.
On October 3, 1988, its cable channel Turner Network Television was launched and had gained an audience with its extensive film library.* [4] At this time, Turner's an- Cartoon Network was not the first cable channel to have imation library included the MGM cartoon library, the relied on cartoons to attract an audience. Nickelodeon pre-1948 color Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts, had paved the way in the 1980s. On August 11, 1991, 1
2 Nickelodeon had launched three“high-profile”animated series: Doug, Rugrats and Ren & Stimpy, further signifying the importance of cartoons in its programming. The Disney Channel and The Family Channel had also included animated shows as part of their programming schedules, as did USA Network, whose Cartoon Express was widely popular. In each of these cases, until October 1, 1992, cartoons were only broadcast during the morning or the early afternoon. Prime time and late night hours were reserved for live-action programs, following the assumption that television animation could only attract child audiences, while Cartoon Network was a 24-hour single-genre channel with animation as its main theme. Turner Broadcasting System had defied conventional wisdom before by launching CNN, a channel providing 24-hour news coverage. The concept was previously thought unlikely to attract a sufficient audience to be particularly profitable, however the CNN experiment had been successful and Turner hoped that Cartoon Network would also find success.* [12] Initially, the channel would broadcast cartoons 24 hours a day. Most of the short cartoons were aired in half-hour or hour-long packages, usually separated by character or studio – Down Wit' Droopy D aired old Droopy Dog shorts, The Tom and Jerry Show presented the classic cat-andmouse team, and Bugs and Daffy Tonight provided classic Looney Tunes shorts. Late Night Black and White showed early black-and-white cartoons (mostly from the Fleischer Studios and Walter Lantz cartoons from the 1930s, as well as black-and-white Merrie Melodies and MGM cartoons), and ToonHeads would show three shorts with a similar theme and provide trivia about the cartoons. There was also an afternoon cartoon block called High Noon Toons, which was hosted by cowboy hand puppets (an example of the simplicity and imagination the network had in its early years). The majority of the classic animation that was shown on Cartoon Network no longer air on a regular basis, with the exception of Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes. A challenge for Cartoon Network was to overcome its low penetration of existing cable systems. When launched on October 1, 1992, the channel was only carried by 233 cable systems. However, it benefited from package deals. New subscribers to sister channels TNT and TBS could also get access to Cartoon Network through such deals. The high ratings of Cartoon Network over the following couple of years led to more cable systems including it. By the end of 1994, Cartoon Network had become“the fifth most popular cable channel in the United States”.* [12] Series For the first few years of Cartoon Network's existence, programming meant for the channel would also be simulcast on TBS and/or TNT, both of which were still full-service cable networks that carried a variety of different programming genera, in order to increase the shows' (and Cartoon Network's) exposure; examples include The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, Cartoon Planet, SWAT
CHAPTER 1. OVERVIEW Kats: The Radical Squadron and 2 Stupid Dogs. The network's first exclusive original show was The Moxy Show, an animation anthology series first airing in 1993.* [13] The first series produced by Cartoon Network was Space Ghost Coast to Coast in 1994, but the show mostly consisted of “recycled animation cells” from the archives of Hanna-Barbera, being an ironic deconstruction of a talk show. It featured live-action guests, mostly consisting of celebrities which were past their prime or counterculture figures. A running gag was that the production cost was dubbed “minimal”. The series found its audience among young adults who appreciated its "hip" perspective.* [14] Kevin Sandler considered Space Ghost Coast to Coast instrumental in establishing Cartoon Network's appeal to older audiences. Space Ghost, a 1960s superhero by Hanna-Barbera, was recast as the star of a talk show parody. This was arguably the first time the network revived a “classic animated icon”in an entirely new context for comedic purposes. Grown-ups who had ceased enjoying the original takes on the characters could find amusement in the“new ironic and self-referential context”for them. Promotional shorts such as the“Scooby-Doo Project”, a parody of the The Blair Witch Project, gave similar treatments to the Scooby gang.* [15] However, there were less successful efforts at such revivals. A Day in the Life of Ranger Smith and Boo Boo Runs Wild (1999) were short cartoons featuring new takes on Yogi Bear's ing cast by John Kricfalusi. Their style of humor, sexual content and break in tone from the source material was rather out of place among the rest of the Cartoon Network shows, and the network rarely found a place for them in its programming.* [16] In 1994, Hanna-Barbera's new division Cartoon Network Studios was founded and started production on What a Cartoon! (also known as World Premiere Toons and Cartoon Cartoons). This show debuted in 1995, offering original animated shorts commissioned from Hanna-Barbera and various independent animators. The network promoted the series as an attempt to return to the “classic days”of studio animation, offering full animator control, high budgets, and no limited animation. The project was spearheaded by Cartoon Network executives, plus John Kricfalusi and Fred Seibert. Kricfalusi was the creator of The Ren & Stimpy Show and served as an advisor to the network, while Seibert was formerly one of the driving forces behind Nickelodeon's Nicktoons and would go on to produce the similar animation anthology series Oh Yeah! Cartoons and Random! Cartoons.* [14]* [17] 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.* [14] Dexter's Laboratory was the most popular short series according to a vote held in 1995 and eventually became the first spin-off of What a Cartoon! in 1996. Three more series based on shorts debuted in 1997: Johnny
1.1. CARTOON NETWORK 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 were followed by The Powerpuff Girls in 1998 and concluded with Courage the Cowardly Dog and Mike, Lu & Og in 1999.* [14]* [17]* [18] The unrelated series Ed, Edd n Eddy was also launched in 1999, creating a line-up of critically acclaimed shows.* [12] Many of these series 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 series beginning on June 11, 1999. In 1997, Cartoon Network launched a new action block called Toonami, which in its original incarnation had included shows like Sailor Moon, Tenchi Muyo!", Gundam Wing and “soon to be phenomenon across the nation” Dragon Ball Z. Toonami was hosted by Moltar from the Space Ghost franchise until 1999, where Toonami was later hosted by its own original character “T.O.M.”.
3 September 1999 (from Nickelodeon) and October 2000 (from ABC), however, the majority of the post-July 1948 cartoons that were shown on its now-sibling broadcast network The WB's Kids' WB block began airing on Cartoon Network in January 1997. Newer animated productions by Warner Bros.' animation subsidiary also started appearing on the network – mostly reruns of shows that had aired on Kids' WB and some from Fox Kids, along with certain new programs such as Justice League.* [20] Cartoon Network's programming would not be available in Canada until 1997, when a Canadian specialty channel called Teletoon and its French language counterpart launched.

The block was a major failure to the network, and was plugged months after its premiere, making it one of the shortest-lived blocks on the station. On December 8, 2006, Cartoon Network produced their first live-action television movie called Re-Animated, a collaboration between both live-action and animation. A year later in 2007, the film was spun off into its own halfhour series entitled Out of Jimmy's Head, which continues the events of the film. This was also the first show on Cartoon Network to feature live-action characters as the main cast, even though it was not the first to combine live-action and animation together (the first being Space Ghost Coast to Coast). The show was short-lived, as it only lasted for 20 episodes, making Out of Jimmy's Head the only show on Cartoon Network to be affected by the Writers Guild of America strike in 2007.
CHAPTER 1. OVERVIEW was working on a new project called Cartoonstitute, which was headed by animators Craig McCracken as executive producer and Rob Renzetti as supervising producer. Both reported to Rob Scorcher, who created the idea. It would have worked similar to What a Cartoon!, by creating at least 150 pieces of animation within 20 months.* [26] Cartoonstitute was eventually cancelled, and out of all the shorts, two or three, Regular Show, Secret Mountain Fort Awesome and Uncle Grandpa, were selected, after animator Craig McCracken (creator of The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends) left the network after 15 years in 2009. On September 20, 2008, Cartoon Network ended Toonami after its 11-year run.* [27] On May 25, 2008, Cartoon Network began airing animated shorts that served as interstitials between programs, called“Wedgies”, which included The Talented Mr. Bixby, Nacho Bear, Big Baby and The Burmeno Avenue Experience. The Wedgies shorts ran from 2008 to 2009, with a second run in 2010; the shorts were discontinued afterward, although reruns can still be seen on Boomerang as of March 2013. On July 14, 2008, the network took on a refreshed look created by Tristan Eaton and was animated by Crew972. The bumpers of that era had white, faceless characters called Noods, based on the DIY toy, Munny. The standard network logo was then completely white, adopting different colors based on the occasion in the same style.* [28] As April 23, 2009, Cartoon Network launched the pacific time zone western feed after Nick GAS discontinued for Dish Network customers.
In June 2009, Cartoon Network introduced a block of live-action reality shows called“CN Real”, featuring programs such as The Othersiders, Survive This, BrainRush, Destroy Build Destroy, Dude, What Would Happen and Bobb'e Says.* [29] The network also aired some limited sports programming, including basketball recaps and Snyder era: 2007–14 Slamball games, during commercial breaks.

inates from the network's in-house studio, Cartoon Network Studios. The studio originally began as a small division of Hanna-Barbera but eventually was spun off when that studio was folded into Warner Bros. Animation in the late 1990s. This studio would produce some of the network's earliest original series, including Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, The Powerpuff Girls, Ed, Edd n Eddy and Cow & Chicken.

(Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies), Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (Tom and Jerry and other series), and Hanna-Barbera (The Flintstones, Scooby-Doo, Snorks, and others). Especially in its earlier years, the company's co-ownership with HannaBarbera gave the network access to an established animation studio, something chief rival Nickelodeon did not yet have.* [54]

Marketing
Cartoon Network shows with established fan followings, such as Dexter's Laboratory, allowed the network to pursue licensing agreements with companies interested in selling series-related merchandise. For example, agreements with Kraft Foods led to widespread in-store advertising for Cartoon Network-related products. The network also worked on cross-promotion campaigns with both Kraft and Tower Records. In product development and marketing, the network has benefited from its relation to corporate parent Time Warner, allowing for mutually beneficial relationships with various subsidiary companies.* [55] Time Warner Cable, the former cable television subsidiary of the corporate parent (which was spun off from Time Warner in 2009), distributes Cartoon Network as part of its packages. Turner Broadcasting System, the subsidiary overseeing various Time Warner-owned networks, helped cross-promote Cartoon Network shows and at times arranged for swapping certain shows between the networks. For example, Samurai Jack, one of CN's original shows, was at times seen at Kids' WB, while Cardcaptors, an anime licensed by Kids' WB, was at times seen at Cartoon Network. In each case, the swap intended to cultivate a shared audience for the two networks. Time Inc., the former subsidiary overseeing the magazines of the corporate parent, ensured favorable coverage of Cartoon Network and advertising space across its publications. Printed ments for CN shows could appear in magazines such as Time, Entertainment Weekly and Sports Illustrated Kids until Time Inc. was spun off from Time Warner on June 9, 2014. AOL, a now-former sibling company to Time Warner covering Internet services, helped promote Cartoon Network shows online by offering exclusive contents for certain animated series, online sweepstakes and display advertising for CN.* [55] Warner Home Video, the home video subsidiary, distributed VHS tapes, DVDs and Blu-ray Discs featuring Cartoon Network shows. Select Warner Bros. Family Entertainment VHS releases came with bonus cartoons from Cartoon Network. Rhino Entertainment, the former record label subsidiary of the corporate parent (which was spun off from Time Warner in 2004), distributed cassette tapes and CDs with Cartoon Network-related music. These products were also available through the Warner Bros. Studio Store. DC Comics, the comic book subsidiary, published a series featuring the Powerpuff Girls, indicating it could handle other CN-related characters. Warner Bros., the film studio subsidiary, released The Powerpuff Girls Movie in 2002. Kevin Sandler considered it likely that the film would find its way to HBO or Cinemax, two television network subsidiaries which regularly broadcast feature films. Sandler also viewed book tie-ins through Warner Books as likely, since it was the only area of marketing not covered yet by 2001.* [55]

1.1.4 Controversy and censorship Cartoon Network has, during its history, broadcast most of the Warner Bros. animated shorts originally created between the 1920s and the 1960s, but the censorship practices of the network and its corporate parent resulted in editing out scenes depicting discharge of gunfire, alcohol ingestion, cowboys and Indians gags, tobacco, and politically incorrect humor. The unedited versions were kept from both broadcasting and wide release on the video market. Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs (1943), a politically incorrect but critically well-regarded short, was notably omitted entirely, while The Scarlet Pumpernickel (1950) and Feed the Kitty (1952), both well-regarded, had their finales heavily edited due to violence.* [56] There was controversy in 2001 over a network decision concerning further omissions from broadcasting. Cartoon Network scheduled a 49-hour-long marathon promising to broadcast every Bugs Bunny animated short in chronological order. The network originally intended to include 12 shorts that had become controversial for using ethnic stereotypes, albeit broadcasting them past midnight to ensure no children were watching, with introductions concerning their historic value as representatives of another time. The network's corporate parent, however, considered it likely that there would be complaints concerning racial insensitivity. This led to all 12 being omitted in their entirety. Laurie Goldberg, vice-president of public relations, defended the decision, stating, “We're the leader in animation, but we're also one of the toprated general entertainment networks. There are certain responsibilities that come with that”.* [56] Following complaints by its adult fanbase, the network offered a compromise solution: the 12 omitted animated shorts would be included in documentaries. The first such documentary was a special on“The Wartime Cartoons”. It notably included Herr Meets Hare (1945) in its entirety, but only certain clips of Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips (1943). Kevin Sandler considered it a positive sign of the network being willing to “confront and unveil”some of the dishonorable aspects of animated history, but noted that so far only the Warner Bros. shorts got this serious treatment, not the MGM animated shorts also broadcast by the network.* [56] When Cartoon Network began rerunning the original Looney Tunes again in March 2011 (given their own time slot this time in place of marathons during New Year's Day), most censored scenes in some cartoons (along with original title cards) have been reinstated, such as gunfire and alcohol, though the network still edits out racially insensitive scenes. Three of the network's shows, Adventure Time, Regular Show, and Mad have shown scenes of violence, mild profanity, sexual references, sexual themes, drug references, demon possession and alcohol references. Rebroadcasts of these series in earlier timeslots may feature edits for time or content. Examples of cartoons that have had their censored scenes and title cards

Despite this fact, Toonami managed to get these series on the air through editing out heavy amounts of violence, drug usage, language, sexuality and nudity particularly with Rurouni Kenshin, YuYu Hakusho, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Gundam, Dragon Ball Z, Outlaw Star, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Tenchi Muyo!, Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon; however, scenes with some swearing, suggestive dialogue and depictions of blood were broadcast uncensored. Series such as Yu Yu Hakusho, Cyborg 009 and Rurouni Kenshin, which were becoming much too violent and dark to edit, were moved to later timeslots. Anime such as Naruto and One Piece received minor editing and include light swearing, partial nudity, and alcohol references. In November 2006, Cartoon Network and Schoolly D were sued over the authorship of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force theme music. Drummer Terence Yerves claimed he had co-written the theme music with Schoolly D in 1999, while working at the Meat Locker Studio. Yerves was aware the song would be used for a television series but did not approve of it being used for Aqua Teen Hunger Force, however, he did not file the copyright to the Library Of Congress until May 2006, after the series' fourth season had already started airing. Yerves demanded in the lawsuit a payment of $150,000 for each time the series aired after the lawsuit was filled, he also demanded that all existing copies of the series' DVDs be impounded and for Aqua Teen Hunger Force to be cancelled by the network.* [57]

1.1.6 Sister channels and related projects Adult Swim Main article: Adult Swim Adult Swim (often stylized as [adult swim] or [as]) is a teen/adult-oriented nighttime programming service that airs on Cartoon Network from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. ET/PT in the United States, and broadcasts in countries such as Australia and New Zealand; Adult Swim is treated by Nielsen as a separate network in its ratings reports (similar to the company's ratings treatment of Nickelodeon and Nick at Nite and Nickmom) due to differing target demographics between it and Cartoon Network.* [1] The network features myriad stylistically variable animated and live-action shows, including original programming, syndicated shows mainly consisting of Fox animated programming, and Japanese anime, generally with minimal or no editing for content. The programs featured on Adult Swim are geared toward an 18+ audience, in contrast to the originally all-ages young Teen and preteen daytime programming on Cartoon Network. Adult Swim has moved its start time up an hour at 8pm on March 31, 2014.

Toonami Main article: Toonami Toonami (a portmanteau of “cartoon”and “tsunami” , suggesting a “tidal wave”of animated cartoons) is a brand of Cartoon Network, used initially for actionoriented programming blocks on Cartoon Network television channels worldwide, mostly showing American cartoons and Japanese anime, originating in the United States on March 17, 1997, and ending on September 20, 2008. It was revived on May 26, 2012, as a Saturday night anime block on Adult Swim, reclaiming their Saturday anime lineup, similar to its previous mature-geared “Midnight Run”incarnation which was that block's forerunner.

Main article: Ed, Edd n Eddy
Main article: Courage the Cowardly Dog

It is the first Cartoon Cartoon to not be produced by Hanna-Barbera and the second not to be introduced by a short film. It premiered on Cartoon Network on January 4, 1999. The series revolves around three adolescent boys collectively known as“the Eds”, who live in a suburban cul-de-sac. Unofficially led by Eddy, the Eds constantly scheme to make money off their peers in order to purchase their favorite confectionery; jawbreakers. However, their plans usually fail, leaving them in various predicaments.
Courage the Cowardly Dog is the eighth Cartoon Cartoon, created by John R. Dilworth. It is also the sixth and final series to be introduced with a short film appearing on World Premiere Toons. Its central plot revolves around a somewhat anthropomorphic dog named Courage who lives with his owners, Muriel and Eustace, an elderly, married farming couple in the “Middle of Nowhere” (the fictional town of Nowhere, Kansas). The three frequently run into monsters, aliens, demons, mad scientists, zombies, and other perils that Courage must fend off to save his owners. Although most of the creatures that the three face are frightening or disturbing, some turn out to be sweet or simply in distress. The show is often noted for its surreal, often disquieting humor and bizarre plot twists. The series combines elements of black comedy, comedy horror, science fantasy, surrealism and sometimes drama.
Before g on with Cartoon Network, Antonucci also approached Nickelodeon with the show, however they demanded creative control, which he did not agree to. A deal was ultimately made for Cartoon Network to commission the show, after they agreed to let Antonucci go in his own direction. During its run, there have been a number of specials and shorts produced in which the Eds would appear apart from their regular series airings. A number of video games either based on the series or featuring the series' characters have also been produced. The series' TV movie finale, Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show aired on November 8, 2009, officially ending the series.* [4]

It also features several unrelated sketches and shorts, similar to The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.

2.2 What-a-Cartoon What a Cartoon! (later known as The What a Cartoon! Show and The Cartoon Cartoon Show) is an American animation showcase series created by Fred Seibert for Hanna-Barbera Productions which aired on Cartoon Network. The project consisted of 82 short cartoons, intended to return creative power to animators and artists, by recreating the atmospheres that spawned the iconic cartoon characters of the mid-20th century. Each of the shorts mirrored the structure of a theatrical cartoon, with each film being based on an original storyboard drawn and written by its artist or creator. The series first aired on February 20, 1995, and the shorts were promoted as World Premiere Toons. During the original run of the shorts, the series was retitled to The What a Cartoon! Show and later to The Cartoon Cartoon Show until the final short aired on August 23, 2002. The project served as the launching point for multiple Cartoon Network series, including Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny
What a Cartoon! creator Fred Seibert at Vidcon 2014.
Fred Seibert became president of Hanna-Barbera Cartoons in 1992 and helped guide the struggling animation studio into its greatest output in years with shows like 2 Stupid Dogs and SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron. Seibert wanted the studio to produce short cartoons, in the vein of the Golden Age of American animation. Although a project consisting of 48 shorts would cost twice as much as a normal series,* [1] Seibert's pitch to Cartoon Network involved promising 48 chances to “succeed or fail”, opened up possibilities for new original programming, and offered several new shorts to the thousands already present in the Turner Entertainment library.

According to Seibert, quality did not matter much to the ans as well (like Don Jurwich, Jerry Eisenberg, and Ralph cable operators distributing the struggling network, they Bakshi). In addition to the veterans, William Hanna and were more interested in promising new programs.* [2] Joseph Barbera each produced two shorts each for What a Cartoon!.

The diversity in the filmmakers included those from various nationalities, race, and gender. Seibert later described his hope for an idealistic diversity as“The wider the palette of creative influences, the wider and bigger the audiences.”* [4]
Many of the crew of What a Cartoon! later went on to write and direct for Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, I Am Weasel, and The Powerpuff Girls, including those named above. The Kitchen Casanova director John McIntyre is particularly known for directing several Dexter episodes. Ralph Bakshi's two shorts (Malcom and Melvin and Babe! He... Calls Me) were considered too risqué to be shown.* [7] It has been rumored that John Kricfalusi was slated to direct several new What a Cartoon! shorts of his own (produced by his production company, Spümcø).* [8] However, both Yogi Bear-influenced cartoons were commissioned separately by Seibert, and instead premiered as their own: Boo Boo Runs Wild and A Day in the Life of Ranger Smith both premiered in 1999.* [9]
Seibert's idea for the project was influenced heavily by Looney Tunes.* [4] Hanna-Barbera founders and chairmen William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, as well as veteran animator Friz Freleng, taught Seibert how the shorts of the Golden Age of American animation were produced. John Kricfalusi, creator of The Ren and Stimpy Show, became a teacher of sorts for Seibert and was the Inspired by Seibert's interest in the modern rock posters first person Seibert called while looking for new talent for of Frank Kozik, each of the shows' creators worked with the project.* [5] the internal Hanna-Barbera Creative Corps Creative DiAs was the custom in live action film and television, the rector Bill Burnett, and Senior Art Director Jesse Stagg and designer Kelly Wheeler to craft a series of high qualcompany did not pay each creator for the storyboard submitted and pitched.

The format for What a Cartoon! was ambitious, as no one had ever attempted anything similar in the television animation era.* [4] The shorts produced would be a product of the original cartoonists' vision, with no executive intervention: for example, even the music would be an individually crafted score. Each "Looney Tunes length” (7 minutes) short would debut, by itself, as a stand-alone cartoon on Cartoon Network.* [3]* [4] Seibert explained the project's goal in a 2007 blog post: “We didn’t care what the sitcom trends were, what Nickelodeon was doing, what the sales departments wanted. [...] We wanted cartoons.”* [4] Crew
Intertitle for What a Cartoon! 's World Premiere Toons.
The What a Cartoon! staff had creators from Europe and Canada (Bruno Bozzetto), Asia (Achiu So), and the United States (Jerry Reynolds and colleague Seth MacFarlane). The crew also contained young series first timers (like Genndy Tartakovsky, Craig McCracken, Rob Renzetti, Butch Hartman, and John Dilworth), but veter-
The first cartoon from the What a Cartoon! project broadcast in its entirety was The Powerpuff Girls in Meat Fuzzy Lumkins, which made its world premiere on Monday, February 20, 1995, during a television special called the World Premiere Toon-In (termed“President's Day Nightmare”by its producers, Williams Street). The special
20 was hosted by Space Ghost and the cast of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, and featured comic interviews and a mock contest with the creators of the various cartoons. The Toon-In was simulcast on Cartoon Network, TBS Superstation, and TNT. To promote the shorts, Cartoon Network's marketing department came up with the concept of “Dive-In Theater”in 1995 to showcase the 48 cartoon shorts. The cartoons were shown at water parks and large municipal swimming pools, treating kids and their parents to exclusive poolside screenings on 9' x 12' movie screens.* [11]
CHAPTER 2. THE CARTOON CARTOONS Next Door in 2002. Two pilots entitled King Crab: Space Crustacean and Thrillseeker, respectively dated 1999 and 2000, was also retconned into The Cartoon Cartoon Show anthology.
Beginning February 26, 1995, each What a Cartoon! short began to premiere on Sunday nights, promoted as World Premiere Toons.* [12] Every week after the premiere, Cartoon Network showcased a different World Premiere Toons made by a different artist. After an acclimation of cartoons, the network packaged the shorts as a half-hour show titled World Premiere Toons: The Next Generation, featuring reruns of the original shorts but also new premieres. Intertitle for What a Cartoon! in its third incarnation, The Cartoon Cartoon Show (2000–03; 2005–08).
On June 9, 2000, The What a Cartoon! Show was relaunched as The Cartoon Cartoon Show. In this new format, it aired reruns and new episodes of the full-series Cartoon Cartoons, as well as new Cartoon Cartoon shorts and old WAC! shorts. From 2000 to 2001, the pilot shorts appearing on the network's viewer's poll that lost to The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and Codename: Kids Next Door were added to the anthology. The show continued to air until October 9, 2003, when it was temporarily dropped from the network's schedule.
Intertitle for What a Cartoon! in its second incarnation, The What a Cartoon! Show (1996–97).
Eventually, all of the cartoons were compiled into one program bearing the name of the original project: The What a Cartoon! Show.* [5] The show's initial premieres for each short preceded Cartoon Network's Sunday night movie block, Mr. Spim's Cartoon Theatre. The shorts continued to air on Sundays until 1997, when the network moved the shorts to Wednesdays at 9pm.* [13] Following the premiere of Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken and I Am Weasel as full series in July 1997, the series shifted to Thursday nights, where it remained.* [14] The What a Cartoon! Show continued airing new episodes on Thursdays until November 28, 1997, when the final short of the 48 contracted during Seibert's era aired. In 1998, Cartoon Network debuted two new short pilots and d them as World Premiere Toons: Mike, Lu & Og and Kenny and the Chimp in“Diseasy Does It!",* [8] both of which were produced by outside studios. The two pilots were later compiled into The Cartoon Cartoon Show, while both shorts eventually garnered their own series, Mike, Lu & Og in 1999 and Codename: Kids
On September 12, 2005, The Cartoon Cartoon Show was revived, this time as a half-hour program featuring segments of older Cartoon Cartoons that were no longer shown regularly on the network, such as Johnny Bravo, The Powerpuff Girls, I Am Weasel, and others. Some Cartoon Cartoons were moved exclusively to this show and the Top 5, though there was also some overlap with shows that already had regular half-hour slots outside the series (such as Courage the Cowardly Dog, which returned in October 2006 as part of The Grim and Courage Hour). In 2006, the programming was expanded to also include non-Cartoon Cartoons that were regularly shown on the network, such as Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Camp Lazlo, My Gym Partner's a Monkey, and Squirrel Boy. The show ended on June 1, 2008.* [15]* [16] In 2007, reruns of What a Cartoon! played briefly on Cartoon Network's retro animation sister channel, Boomerang.* [17] Legacy Dexter's Laboratory was the most popular short series according to a vote held in 1995 and eventually became the first spin-off of What a Cartoon! in 1996. Two more series based on shorts, Johnny Bravo and Cow and
2.2. WHAT-A-CARTOON Chicken, premiered in 1997, and The Powerpuff Girls became a weekly half-hour show in 1998. Courage the Cowardly Dog (spun off from the Oscar-nominated short The Chicken from Outer Space) followed as the final spin-off in 1999. In addition, the Cow and Chicken short I Am Weasel eventually was also spun off into a separate series: in all, six cartoon series were ultimately launched by the What a Cartoon! project, any one of which earned enough money for the company to pay for the whole program.* [5] In addition to the eventual spin-offs, the What a Cartoon! short Larry and Steve by Seth MacFarlane featured prototypes of characters that would later go on to become MacFarlane's massively successful Family Guy. The What a Cartoon! project and its assorted spin-offs brought Cartoon Network more commercial and critical success, and the network became an animation industry leader as the 1990s drew to a close. In 2001, coinciding with the death of William Hanna, Hanna-Barbera Productions merged with Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network opened its own production arm, Cartoon Network Studios, in Burbank, as the rightful HannaBarbera successor to produce original programming for the network and future projects. Two What a Cartoon! shorts, Windup Wolf and Hard Luck Duck, were the last cartoon shorts directed and produced by co-founder and co-chairman William Hanna. In addition, What a Cartoon! and spin-offs were the final original productions released by Hanna-Barbera. Creator of the What a Cartoon! Show, Fred Seibert, left Hanna-Barbera in late 1996 to open up his own studio, Frederator Studios, and to produce Nickelodeon's own version of What a Cartoon!, titled Oh Yeah! Cartoons.* [18] The showcase contained familiar What a Cartoon! alumni (Butch Hartman, Rob Renzetti) and launched several successful Nickelodeon series, including The Fairly OddParents, ChalkZone and My Life as a Teenage Robot. Frederator Studios launched another animation showcase in 2006, titled Random! Cartoons, which in turn produced Nickelodeon's Fanboy and Chum Chum in 2009 and Cartoon Network's Adventure Time in 2010.

2.2.2 List of shorts Original show The following is a list of the original shorts produced under Fred Seibert's management for What a Cartoon! by Hanna-Barbera. The shorts are listed in by director and/or creator, and do not contain extra cartoons added on by Cartoon Network when the show was re-titled The Cartoon Cartoon Show. Cartoon Cartoon shorts Two Cartoon Cartoon shorts were produced in 1998 and one in 1999. All Cartoon Cartoon shorts produced between 2000 and 2001 were entered in The Big Pick, a contest to choose the newest Cartoon Cartoon. The shorts premiered on Cartoon Cartoon Fridays in the weeks leading up to “The Big Pick”and the winner was revealed during the actual event. The winners were The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, in 2000, and Codename: Kids Next Door, in 2001. In 2002, 8 new shorts premiered during the Cartoon Cartoon Weekend Summerfest, only this time, they weren't competing against one another. These were the final Cartoon Cartoon shorts before the brand name was dropped. One short, LowBrow, was given its own series called Megas XLR. Cartoon Cartoon segments From 2000 to 2003, The Cartoon Cartoon Show featured new episodes and reruns of the full-series Cartoon Cartoons, interspersed with premieres and reruns of the Cartoon Cartoon shorts (some of which were retconned WAC! shorts). From 2005 to 2008, the block was revived, this time dropping the shorts. Episodes from each show were anthologized into 7 or 11-minute segments.

Dexter's Laboratory (commonly abbreviated as Dexter's Lab) is an American comic science fiction animated television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network. The series follows Dexter, a boygenius with a secret laboratory, which he fills with his marvelous inventions. Dexter constantly battles against his sister Dee Dee, who always manages to gain access to his lab, despite his best efforts to keep her out. He also engages in a bitter rivalry with his neighbor and fellowgenius Mandark. The series' first two seasons contain additional segments: Dial M for Monkey, which focuses on Dexter's pet lab-monkey-turned-superhero, and The Justice Friends, about a trio of superheroes who share an apartment.

Dexter's Laboratory received high ratings and became one of Cartoon Network's most popular and successful original series. During its run, the series was nominated for 4 Primetime Emmy Awards, 4 Golden Reel Awards, and 9 Annie Awards, winning 3 additional Annie Awards. The series is notable for helping launch the careers of several cartoonists, such as Craig McCracken (The Powerpuff Girls, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, and Wander Over Yonder), Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, American Dad!, and The Cleveland Show), Butch Hartman (The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom, and T.U.F.F. Puppy), and Rob Renzetti (My Life as a Teenage Robot). Spin-off media include comic books, DVD and VHS releases, music albums, collectible toys, and video games.
2.3.1 Overview The series revolves around Dexter (voiced by Christine Cavanaugh in seasons 1–2; Candi Milo in seasons 3–4), a boy-genius who has built a secret laboratory hidden behind a bookcase in his bedroom. The laboratory is filled with highly advanced equipment and access is achieved by speaking various s or by activating hidden switches on Dexter's bookshelf (e.g. pulling out a specific book). Though highly intelligent, Dexter often fails

at what he has set out to do when he becomes overexcited and makes careless choices. He manages to keep the lab a secret from his clueless, cheerful parents (voiced by Jeff Bennett and Kath Soucie), who never notice any evidence of it. Although he comes from a typical all-American family, Dexter speaks with a thick accent of indeterminate origin. Cavanaugh described it as “an affectation, some kind of accent, we're not quite sure. A small Peter Lorre, but not. Perhaps he's Latino, perhaps he's French. He's a scientist; he knows he needs some kind of accent.” * [1] Genndy Tartakovsky explained,“He considers himself a very serious scientist, and all well-known scientists have accents.”* [2] Dexter is frequently in conflict with his hyperactive older sister, Dee Dee (voiced by Allison Moore in seasons 1 and 3; Kathryn Cressida in seasons 2 and 4). In spite of Dexter's advanced technology, Dee Dee eludes all manner of security, and once inside her brother's laboratory, she delights in playing haphazardly, often wreaking havoc with his inventions. Though generally dim-witted, Dee Dee occasionally outsmarts her brother and even gives him helpful advice. For his part, Dexter, though annoyed by his intrusive sibling, feels a reluctant affection for her and will come to her defense if she is imperiled. Dexter's nemesis is a rival boy-genius from his school named Susan“Mandark”Astronomonov* [3]* [4] (voiced by Eddie Deezen). Mandark also has his own laboratory, but his schemes are generally evil and designed to gain power while downplaying or destroying Dexter's accomplishments. As the series progresses, Mandark becomes significantly more evil, with his laboratory darkerlooking, industrial, and angular in contrast to his original brightly lit lab with rounded features. Because Dexter's inventions are often better than his, Mandark tries to make up for this by stealing Dexter's plans. Mandark's weakness is his love for Dee Dee, though she ignores him and never returns his affections.
Recurring segments Most episodes of Dexter's Laboratory are divided into three different stories or segments, each one being approximately 8 minutes in length. Occasionally, the middle segment centered around characters from the Dexter's Laboratory universe other than Dexter and his family. Two of these segments were shown primarily during the first season: Dial M for Monkey and The Justice Friends.* [5] Dial M for Monkey was the middle segment for the first six episodes of season one, and The Justice Friends took its place for the rest of the season.
In the pilot, Dexter (right) and his sister Dee Dee (left) fight over a device that changes people into animals.
the Commander General (voiced by Robert Ridgely and later Earl Boen), and a team of assembled superheroes. Dial M for Monkey was created by Genndy Tartakovsky, Craig McCracken, and Paul Rudish.* [6] The Justice Friends consists of Major Glory (voiced by Rob Paulsen), Valhallen (voiced by Tom Kenny), and the Infraggable Krunk (voiced by Frank Welker), a team of superheroes who are all roommates living in an apartment complex called Muscular Arms. Most of the adventures of the trio deal less with their lives as superheroes and more with their inability to get along as roommates; it is presented as a sitcom, including a laugh track. Genndy Tartakovsky's inspiration for The Justice Friends came from reading Marvel Comics when he was learning how to speak English.* [7] Tartakovsky stated in an interview with IGN that he was somewhat disappointed with how The Justice Friends turned out, saying, “it could have been funnier and the characters could have been fleshed out more.”* [8]
Between the three main segments in seasons one and two are brief mini-segments, many of which feature only Dexter and Dee Dee. Other characters from the series may star in them also, such as “The Puppet Pals”, two live-action puppets named Puppet Pal Mitch (voiced The Dial M for Monkey shorts feature Dexter's pet labo- by Rob Paulsen) and Puppet Pal Clem (voiced by Tom ratory monkey, Monkey (vocal effects by Frank Welker), Kenny). whom Dexter believes is an ordinary monkey and nothing more. In contrast, Monkey secretly has superpowers and fights evil as the superhero Monkey. Monkey is ed 2.3.2 History by his partner Agent Honeydew (voiced by Kath Soucie),
26 Influences and design Dexter's Laboratory was inspired by one of Genndy Tartakovsky's drawings of a ballerina.* [9]* [10] After drawing Dee Dee's tall, thin shape, he decided to pair her with a short and blocky opposite, Dexter, inspired by Tartakovsky's older brother Alex.* [11] The series was animated in a stylized way, which Tartakovsky says was influenced by the Merrie Melodies cartoon The Dover Boys at Pimento University.* [12] Dexter's Laboratory, however, was staged in a cinematic way, rather than flat and close to the screen, to leave space and depth for the action and gags. Tartakovsky was also influenced by other Warner Bros. cartoons, Hanna-Barbera, Japanese mecha anime, and the UPA shorts. Tartakovsky has said the character Dexter was designed “as an icon” —his body is short and squat and his design is simple, with a black outline and relatively little detail. Since he knew that he was deg the show for television, he purposely limited the design to a certain degree, deg the nose and mouth, for instance, in a Hanna-Barbera style to animate easily.* [13] Production
Series creator Genndy Tartakovsky worked on Dexter's Laboratory from its inception through the end of the second season. He also directed the television movie Ego Trip.
Dexter's Laboratory, along with Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, The Powerpuff Girls, and Courage the Cowardly Dog, became responsible for pushing Cartoon Network in a new direction focusing on original programming and “character-driven”cartoons.* [14] After enrolling at the California Institute of the Arts in 1990 to study animation, Tartakovsky wrote, directed, animated, and produced two short films that would become the basis for the series.* [15] Dexter's Laboratory was then made into a seven-minute pilot as a part of Cartoon Network's What a Cartoon! project, promoted as World Premiere Toons, which debuted on February 26, 1995.* [16] Viewers worldwide voted through phone lines, the Internet, fo-
CHAPTER 2. THE CARTOON CARTOONS cus groups, and consumer promotions for their favorite short cartoons; the first of 16 animated shorts to earn that vote of approval was Dexter's Laboratory.* [6] In August 1995, Turner ordered six half-hours of the series, which would include two cartoons around one spin-off segment titled Dial M for Monkey.* [6] The show premiered as a half-hour series on TNT on April 27, 1996, and on April 28 on Cartoon Network and TBS Superstation.* [17] Mike Lazzo, then-head of programming for the network, said that Dexter's Laboratory was his favorite of the 48 shorts, commenting “We all loved the humor in brother-versus-sister relationship”.* [18] A second season premiered on Cartoon Network on July 16, 1997.* [5] Allison Moore, the voice of Dee Dee and a college friend of Genndy Tartakovsky, left the show after the first season because she was no longer interested in voice acting. The role was subsequently recast with Kathryn Cressida.* [19] Dexter's Laboratory ended its initial run in 1998 after two seasons, with the second season lasting 39 episodes, a notable record for a single TV production season on Cartoon Network.* [20] The initial series finale was “Last But Not Beast”, which differed from the format of the other episodes in that it was not a collection of cartoon shorts, but was a single 25-minute episode. In 1999, Tartakovsky returned to direct Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip, an hour-long television movie.* [21] This was the last Dexter's Laboratory production that Tartakovsky was involved with and was originally intended to be the final conclusion to the series. The special was hand-animated, though the character and setting designs were subtly altered. The plot follows Dexter on a quest through time as he finds out his future triumphs.* [21] Christine Cavanaugh won an Annie Award for her voice performance as Dexter in Ego Trip for“Outstanding Individual Achievement for Voice Acting By a Female Performer in an Animated Television Production”.* [22] On February 21, 2001, Cartoon Network announced the series had been picked up for a 13-episode third season.* [23] The new episodes, which ran for two more seasons, had a different production team than the originals due to Genndy Tartakovsky working on Samurai Jack and Star Wars: Clone Wars.* [7]* [24] MacFarlane and Hartman had left Time Warner altogether at this point, focusing on Family Guy and The Fairly OddParents, respectively.* [25]* [26] Beginning with season three, Chris Savino took over as the creative director for the show in the absence of Tartakovsky. Later in season four, Savino was also promoted to producer giving him further control over the show, such as the budget.* [27] This second line of episodes featured noticeably different visual designs, minor inconsistencies with the original episodes both in storyline and in visuals, and different sound effects. Christine Cavanaugh retired from voice acting in 2001 for personal reasons and was replaced by Candi Milo as the voice of Dexter for the majority of these new episodes, though Cavanaugh still voiced Dexter for the

Fifty-two episodes were produced over the original run from 1996 to 1998, which was followed by the TV movie Ego Trip in 1999. An additional 26 episodes were produced and broadcast from 2001 to 2003.

The episode was only shown during certain animation festivals and was never aired on Cartoon Network due to the characters swearing, even though the swear words were censored.* [41] Tartakovsky commented that "standards didn't like it.”* [42] Linda Simensky, then-vice president of original programming for Cartoon Network, said “I still think it's very funny. It probably would air better late at night.”* [41] Fred Seibert, president of Hanna-Barbera Cartoons from 1992 to 1996, has attested to the existence of the short.* [42] In October 2012, Genndy Tartakovsky was asked about the episode during an AMA on Reddit, and he replied “Next time I do a public appearance I'll bring it with me!".* [43] Adult Swim later asked fans on Twitter if there was still any interest in the episode, and the response was“overwhelming”.* [44]* [45] The episode was finally

CHAPTER 2. THE CARTOON CARTOONS interview for Cartoon Network that he also derived the name from his full given name, "Efrem Giovanni Bravo Partible.”It has also been said that on the Valentine's Day special that his birthday is on Valentine's Day (meaning when the episode came out on 2-14-2003 that his official age is 15) and he likes Kung-Fu chick shows. When voicing Johnny Bravo, Jeff Bennett made his voice sound like that of Elvis Presley.* [4]
• Bunny “Momma”Bravo (voiced by Brenda Vaccaro) —Johnny's mother. She has had a lively past and sometimes reveals a surprising hidden talent. The show's original format portrays her as a calm, nurturing woman, but was made into a louder, more extroverted character once the show was retooled. She's very dedicated to her son, but as a result of her awareness of his low intellect and womanizer attitude, does not always treat him and his problems seriously. Her husband is never seen or mentioned. Like Johnny, Bunny has her own trademark sunglasses which always cover her eyes. Bunny hopes that Johnny will find that special someone he's been looking for. Bunny is mostly referred in the show as “Momma”by Johnny, who pronounces it in an Elvis-esque manner. • Little Suzy (voiced by Mae Whitman) —A little red-haired, intelligent girl from the neighborhood (often called “Little Neighbor girl”by Johnny), who is very cunning and talkative. In many episodes, Suzy is shown to have a major crush on Johnny (although the feeling is not mutual). Her parents were never shown, but she is often shown to be related to big time celebrities. For example, it was revealed in an episode during her birthday that Farrah Fawcett is her cousin. She also has a crush on an 8-year-old country music singer Lonnie Dash. In the early series, Suzy was more of a cute-type character with a round head, while in the retooled series, she is thinlooking and more grown up. But went back to her original design in season 4. Suzy has many interests (such as selling lemonade and participating in the Buttercup Scouts) and has proven to be very successful in most of those interests. It is very obvious that Johnny finds Suzy annoying as he won't even go to her birthday parties or school dances. • Carlton “Carl”Chryniszzswics (voiced by Tom Kenny) —A local nerd, also known as Carl Shocker, considered by many (especially Johnny) to be extremely annoying. He is Johnny's “best friend”. He is a local genius and geek, who is very intelligent, but somewhat eccentric and timid. He was introduced after the show's retooling following the end of the first season, and seems to be Johnny's only friend, although Johnny often denies that. Carl sometimes uses Johnny for his experiments' sake. Carl really likes Johnny and he continues to hang
out with him, even after all of the mean things that Johnny does to Carl and says about him. Carl remained in the show after the return to the original style, but was relegated to smaller roles. However, Johnny is much nicer to Carl when he shows up in the final season. • Pops (voiced by Larry Drake) —The greedy owner of a local diner. He often gives tips and advice to Johnny; however, his advice often turns out to be useless, sometimes provoking trouble for Johnny. His diner's chili is made from rather suspicious ingredients and he serves food made from many animals, such as possums, pandas, cougars, seals, horses, and bald eagles. Like Carl, Pops was introduced in season two after the show's drastic retooling and remained even after the return to the original format, although he was relegated to brief cameo roles. Pop culture references The series was abounding in pop culture references. The original short that preceded the series, Mess O' Blues, was based around an Elvis Presley impersonator.* [3] Johnny Bravo lives in “Aaron City”. Aaron was Elvis Presley's middle name. Even from the first season, creator Van Partible intended for the show's middle segment to be a form of“Johnny Bravo Meets...”, intended as a parody of The New Scooby-Doo Movies.* [3]* [5] An entire episode of the first season of the show is based around homages to The Twilight Zone' (or, as the show dubs it, “The Zone, Where Normal Things Don't Happen Very Often”.) In that episode, which consisted of three Twilight Zone parodies, opened and closed by the words of a narrator, and would consist of Johnny encountering something strange, for example, being at the mercy of a boy who can seemingly alter reality at will, or fighting a personal war with a clown trying to damage a plane's wing (only to discover he was one of two clowns kept to “balance”the plane) - the episode also included a talking doll that attempted to commit murder. Additional references to the episodes spoofed included Johnny trying to inform William Shatner of the clown on the wing, with Shatner implying he had been in a similar situation before, and Johnny referring to his godlike babysitting charge as“Billy”and "Will Robinson,”a reference to actor Billy Mumy who played the role in the original Twilight Zone episode.* [6] Humor Much of the humor of the series revolves around the antics and dimwittedness of Johnny himself. The entire series revolves around Bravo's undying desire to go on a date with a woman, and most women beat him up when he asks them. In turn, Bravo asks them in a very confident, almost cocky manner. Johnny also has been seen to do absurd
2.4. JOHNNY BRAVO things just to see a woman. Though narcissistic, Johnny has a relatively innocent nature, which, in conjunction with his lack of intelligence, can occasionally land him in the middle of others' dastardly plots (where he often remains oblivious even as they unfold). When Johnny enjoys something, usually something he tastes or sees, he often exclaims enjoyment by saying,“Mmm, (object)-y!" This joke was introduced and was most prevalent in the second season. This is similar to one of Homer Simpson and Pee-wee Herman's catchphrases. Sly adult humor is found in many early episodes of the show. In one episode, when Little Suzy calls Johnny to ask if he wants to come over, Johnny nonchalantly tells her to "[call] back in 15 years when [she is] a co-ed.”In regard to the adult humor,”Butch Hartman stated "...being concerned with the content of the episodes wasn't our main focus”, and creator Van Partible re that “No one was really watching Cartoon Network [...] As far as content, they were pretty lenient on all the kind of things that were going on.”* [3] Guest appearances The series has had numerous guest stars, which include: Don Knotts, Jessica Biel, Alec Baldwin, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Rick Springfield, Luke Perry, Farrah Fawcett, Brock Peters, Vendela Kirsebom, Adam West, Dionne Warwick, Jack Sheldon, Mick Jagger, Richard Simmons, Joey McIntyre, Mr. T, Mark Hamill, Shaquille O'Neal, Donny Osmond, Seth Green, Allyce Beasley, Curtis Armstrong, Michael Jeter, Chuck D, Jeffrey Tambor, Tia Carrere, Laraine Newman, and Hal Douglas. Initially, the goal of the first season of the show was to have popular 1970s icons (such as Osmond and Fawcett) to appear on the “Johnny Bravo Meets...”middle segment of the show, but guest stars were used informally after the second season began.* [3]
35 The short would be aired on Cartoon Network's new animation showcase, World Premiere Toons.* [3] Also known as the What a Cartoon! Show, the series' short cartoons (three per half-hour episode) mirrored the structure of a theatrical cartoon, with each film being based on an original storyboard drawn and written by its artist/creator. Partible initially roomed with Craig McCracken (creator of The Powerpuff Girls), Paul Rudish (a designer on that series) and Genndy Tartakovsky (creator of Dexter's Laboratory).* [3] The only two cartoonists fresh out of college were Partible and Seth MacFarlane.* [3] Partible changed his character from Mess O' Blues around so that“he would be more of this '50s iconic James Dean-looking character that talked like Elvis”. Partible picked voice actor Jeff Bennett to play Johnny Bravo solely based on his young, hyped Elvis impression.* [3] The short, Johnny Bravo, premiered on World Premiere Toons on March 26, 1995, and involved Johnny trying to score with a zookeeper girl by capturing a runaway talking gorilla. Partible, with a small team of animators, animated the short themselves in-house at Hanna-Barbera using digital ink and paint (the latter shorts and seasons 1 and early season 2 of the series would instead use the traditional ink and paint and film camera).* [7] Two more shorts on the program followed (Jungle Boy in“Mr. Monkeyman”, and Johnny Bravo and the Amazon Women) and the shorts were so popular that Cartoon Network commissioned a first season of series based around Johnny Bravo, consisting of 13 episodes.
The crew of the first season of Johnny Bravo consisted of several writers, animators, and directors from World Premiere Toons, including the aforementioned MacFarlane and Hartman, Steve Marmel, and John McIntyre. Veteran cartoonist and animation legend Joseph Barbera was also a creative consultant and a mentor for the first season of the series.* [8]* [9] Partible stated in a 1997 interview that the goal of the series was to have “animation remi* The episode“Johnny Bravo Meets Adam West!" in which niscent of the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons”.

CHAPTER 2. THE CARTOON CARTOONS
After the series ended in 2004, the No. 5 Kellogg's Chevrolet was given a special paint scheme with Johnny Bravo on the hood. It was driven by Kyle Busch in the 2005 Sharpie 500 NASCAR race. On the long lasting impact of the show, writer/director Butch Hartman states:
or on CartoonNetworkHQ.net would be shown for two hours the next day. He would also constantly appear in commercial breaks, cracking jokes or answering humorous emails and phone calls.
The show's creative team went on to create many successful television series throughout the 1990s and 2000s, including writer Seth MacFarlane, creator of the popular animated series Family Guy. Shortly after the series' first season was completed, writer/director Butch Hartman left to work on Nickelodeon's Oh Yeah! Cartoons, from which those shorts spun off his own success, The Fairly OddParents. Steve Marmel, writer for Johnny Bravo, has been a producer and writer for The Fairly OddParents since its premiere in 2001. In addition to Johnny Bravo, director John McIntyre directed episodes of several other Cartoon Cartoons, and more recently served as a supervising director on Cartoon Network's original series The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack.

vision series created by David Feiss for Cartoon Network. The series follows the surreal adventures of a cow, named Cow, and her chicken brother, named Chicken. They are often antagonized by “The Red Guy”, who poses as various characters to scam them. Late into the series run, the characters I.M. Weasel and I.R. Baboon, who were part of the series' recurring segment, I Am Weasel, were given their own half-hour series of the same name. Like Dexter's Laboratory and some other Cartoon Network series from the 1990s, the original pilot appeared

CHAPTER 2. THE CARTOON CARTOONS
as an episode of the animated shorts showcase project What a Cartoon!, the brainchild of Fred Seibert, thenpresident of Hanna-Barbera. The Cow and Chicken series first broadcast on Cartoon Network from July 15, 1997, to July 24, 1999, with reruns airing prominently on the network until June 1, 2008. Reruns are played on Boomerang, which are rated TV-Y7. The series was nominated for an Emmy Award in 1996 and 1998.
2.5.1
Premise
The program focuses on the misadventures of two unlikely yet somehow biological siblings; the sweet-natured, dim, ecstatic anthropomorphic Cow and her cynical elder brother Chicken. The series is set in an eccentric, surreal environment and humored with laughably grotesque, repulsive comedy and animation, and revolves around the surreal, strange escapades experienced by Cow and Chicken that are often triggered by their odd, naked enemy the Red Guy. The humor and storylines depicted in the series are sometimes based around traditional childhood worries, anxieties, or phobias such as cooties or venturing into the girls' restroom, but enhanced comically. Other characters include Chicken and Cow's slightly delirious, dimwitted human parents that are only seen from their legs down (even in scenes where showing nothing more would be ridiculous), and Chicken's two best friends Flem and Earl, along with the appropriately-named cousin, Boneless Chicken.
2.5.2
Characters
Main characters • Cow (voiced by Charlie Adler) —Chicken's 7-yearold sister.* [1] She is usually depicted with low intelligence and childlike naivety, and is often blind to her brother's disdain and carelessness for her. However, she is better-liked by her peers and has achieved a wide array of accomplishments throughout the course of the series, such as being crowned a beauty pageant queen (under the Red Guy's tutelage and training), becoming a model, and often masquerading as her intelligent superhero alter-ego Super Cow. However, many of Cow's achievements have proven to be scams pulled by the Red Guy against her or for his own benefits and pleasure, albeit she has accomplished a lot without his manipulative guidance; she has written a musical before that was performed by the school drama club in one episode and was able to temporarily put a stop to the long-running, destructive “Cheese War”that had been devastating the home of her new-found lover, only for new conflicts to be triggered shortly afterward. Cow is noted for her superhero alter-ego, Super
Cow, who has displayed greater intelligence than she has and is capable of speaking Spanish, albeit the Red Guy has attempted to unmask the superhero. Cow owns three dolls that she greatly cherishes; Crabs the Warthog, Manure the Bear, and Piles the Beaver. • Chicken (voiced by Charlie Adler) —Cow's 11year-old brother.* [1] He can be mean to his younger sister, and even to the rest of the family. He has a powerful ego, but in spite of this, a powerful conscience (usually only displayed when Cow is in danger). He is more intelligent (and sane) than most characters, and his selfish actions can actually come to others help. His speech is riddled with malapropisms and sarcasm. Chicken is very fond of ice skating. Like other chickens, he cannot fly, and is afraid of flying. Chicken is the only character in the show who knows that his sister and Supercow are the same person. Chicken even once turned into his own alter ego, calling himself“Wonder Wattle”to save his sister. Whereas Supercow speaks fluent Spanish, Chicken requires the help of a Spanish dictionary. • The Red Guy (voiced by Charlie Adler) —based off the character in religion Satan in the pilot episode “No Smoking”, he is no longer shown as that character, but instead as a being who is known for masquerading as different people with different occupations in order to harm, torture or scam Cow and Chicken for reasons never established in the series. Often, these characters are given pun names related to the Red Guy's bare posterior and lack of pants (e.g. Doctor Lackslacks, Mrs. BareDerriére), and sometimes he has been known to disguise himself as more than one character in the same episode in order to continue bothering Cow and Chicken, and sometimes I.R. Baboon and Weasel. • Flem (voiced by Howard Morris and Maurice LaMarche on occasion) —Chicken's best friend who has thick red lips. He and his father both wear glasses. Of the three (Earl, Chicken, and himself), he is the one most often sent to perform tasks because his peers consider him the ugliest or fattest. Flem is named after one of David Feiss's friends in middle school who was not good-looking but was very loyal. • Earl (voiced by Dan Castellaneta (using a higher pitched version of the slurred, drunken voice Castellaneta uses when he voices Simpsons character, Barney Gumble)) —Chicken's other best friend who is tall and skinny and wears a red baseball cap, a black shirt that exposes his belly button, and braces. Like Flem, Earl is based on one of David Feiss' friends in middle school. Earl lives with Flem and Flem's Dad.
2.5. COW AND CHICKEN • Dad (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) —Cow and Chicken's father. His brother is Professor Longhorn Steer. On screen, only his legs and waist are shown. He is identified by green pants and brown loafers. He boasts his manliness, stating that even the most mundane of tasks (such as driving in the snow) “bring out the man in him”. Dad does not seem to know about Cow's birth and once stated she was born in a cabbage and claimed, “That was the best cabbage we ever had”. Like his wife, sometimes he seems to be insane. For example, he once woke up his kids at 3:00 a.m. only to tell them how he and Mom met. Sometimes he indirectly refers to himself as a woman (when talking about a clock ed down to all the girls to his family, he said that his mother gave to him, when he was giving said clock to Cow) or to Mom as a man (“start your day off like a man, just like Momma”). • Mom (voiced by Candi Milo) —Cow and Chicken's mother. Like Dad, only her legs and waist are shown on screen and is identified by a white dress with red polka-dots, a yellow apron and red flat shoes. She is prone to giving her children rules applying only to a specific situation that can also be applied elsewhere, such as“never go to the carnival naked”or“never run around in a burning school auditorium”. She is sensitive, as shown in one episode, crying when Chicken asked what would happen if a guy goes in a girl's bathroom (though it is hinted she might have been worried Chicken would commit voyeurism). • Teacher (voiced by Candi Milo) —Cow and Chicken's female teacher who is simply called “Teacher”. Her catchphrase is “basically”. In class Teacher will say “Shut your pork traps!" or “Shut your pie holes!" to get her students to listen to her. She responds to Chicken's strange, even contradictory observations, such as realizing the Earth is cubic, with “That's why you go to school!" Recurring characters • Crabs the Warthog (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) —one of Cow's favorite dolls; he is shaped as a green warthog with wheels in his snout, as well as being dressed up in some smart and colorful clothes. His first appearance was in“Part Time Job.”Crabs also has a key role in the episode, “Cow's Toys”. He appeared in “Can Cow Come Out and Play?" and in“Lawnmower Chicken”. Along with many other “kids' show for adults”aspects of this show Cow is heard shouting“I've got crabs...”followed by a toolong pause, finished with “the warthog”during at least one episode. • Piles the Beaver (voiced by Tom Kenny) —one of Cow's favorite dolls; he is shaped as a purple beaver
39 with blond hair. Much to Manure the Bear's disgust, Piles has a rip-cord that says random things such as, “I'm Piles the Beaver. Hey!" His debut was in “Cow Loves Piles”, but he was first mentioned in the episode, “Who is Supercow?" Piles also has an important role in “Cow's Toys”. Like Crabs, Piles is referenced by Cow with a too-lengthy pause when saying “I've got piles...the beaver.” • Manure the Bear (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) —one of Cow's favorite dolls; he is shaped as a disgruntled bear wearing a dirty diaper. Manure was first referenced in“Chicken's First Kiss,”when Earl tells Chicken that he was hit with the same doll. Manure was not introduced as one of Cow's dolls until the third season. Like Crabs and Piles, he has a key role in“Cow's Toys”. He is implied to soil himself often. • Boneless Chicken (voiced by Charlie Adler) — Cow and Chicken's funny uncle. An older chicken who possesses no skeleton, except for having teeth. He always says strange things, but the watcher cannot tell if he is serious or just joking. He is a veteran of the Vietnam War. He only appeared in“Alive!", “The Laughing Puddle”,“The Exchange Stüdent” , “Dream Date Chicken”, “Boneless Kite”, and “Cow & Chicken Blues”. It is unknown which side of the family he is related to. • Grandmama (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) — Mom's mother and Cow and Chicken's grandmother. She often seems as blind as a bat; she has glasses, but refuses to wear them. She was seen in the episodes“Grandma at the Mall”and“No Smoking”. • Grandpapa (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) — Mom's father and Grandmama's husband, whom she lost, because she could not where she put him. She buys him again at a grandpa bazaar. He looks surprisingly similar to her. • Flem's Dad (voiced by Michael Stanton) —usually seen wearing Summer Camp clothing; he made appearances in the episodes,“The Legend of Sailcat” , “Going My Way?", “Lost at Sea”(in which the Red Guy calls him an idiot). Flem's Dad can play the guitar. • Cousin Black Sheep (voiced by Tom Kenny) — Cow and Chicken's other cousin. He's the black sheep of the family. He is in fact extremely kind and cultured, but people accuse him of misdemeanors anyway, because he is a black sheep. Like Boneless Chicken and Cousin Sow, it is unknown which side of the family he is related to. • Snail Boy (voiced by Tom Kenny) —Cow and Chicken's other cousin. Mom and Dad's nephew.

History
Main article: List of Cow and Chicken episodes Cow and Chicken has a total of 52 episodes in 4 seasons
The idea of Cow and Chicken first existed as a story that David Feiss had made for his daughter.* [2] Feiss was a cartoonist who had worked with Hanna-Barbera and related projects since 1978.* [2] Later, Feiss was called to submit any ideas he had for the series What a Cartoon!, a series composed of various cartoon shorts from various creators and writers. Feiss submitted three ideas for the series to Larry Huber, the series' executive producer. One of the ideas was Cow and Chicken.* [3] Cow and Chicken premiered on the What a Cartoon! series in 1995. Although most cartoons in the series had never gone beyond one short, Hanna-Barbera had decided to turn Cow and Chicken into a full series (possibly since the Emmy Award nomination of the original short), following many letters from fans asking for more Cow and Chicken cartoons.* [3] The Cow and Chicken series premiered on July 15, 1997, in the United States,* [1] although the first season was originally shown on Cartoon Network in Europe earlier that year.* [4] The series ran for 52 episodes through 1999. Reruns continued to be shown on Cartoon Network until June 1, 2008. As a ing segment, the show included a cartoon called I Am Weasel; this segment was spun off as an independent series late in the show's run. Typically, an episode would consist of two seven-minute Cow and Chicken shorts playing back-toback, then followed by a seven-minute I Am Weasel short before the end credits.* [1] The exception to this structure was episode 105 (“The Ugliest Weenie”), which

that were produced from November 1996 to April 1999. Each half-hour contains 2 Cow and Chicken and 1 I Am Weasel segment.* [6]
2.5. COW AND CHICKEN
2.5.5
Humor
Cow and Chicken drew on several types of cartoon humor through its run. The series often made use of cartoon violence; Cow and Chicken were frequently placed in dangerous situations and the Red Guy was frequently pummeled and beaten (usually by Supercow). The series also made fun of the clichés of cartoons. For example, Cow has an alter-ego: Supercow, who is a superhero with different characteristics to her normal character (such as flight, and the ability to speak Spanish); and the Red Guy tries in vain to discover Supercow's secret identity so he can “die happy”. Another cliché made fun of in the series is that the children's parents, who are called Mom and Dad by everyone, exist only from the waist down, and can be seen to stop at the waist (whenever their shadows appear, they are cut off at the waist). A picture even exists on the wall of the parents from the waist down. Cow can disguise herself as Dad simply by wearing Dad's pants. This makes fun of the idea of partially unseen characters and cartoons in which adults are seen only from the waist down (e.g. Muppet Babies). Many jokes of the series use adolescent humor, which made the show somewhat controversial. Recurring jokes and gags In some episodes, the misper bodies of Cow and Chicken's parents are used as a gag. For example, in the banned pilot episode ("No Smoking") the cartoon“camera”accidentally zooms out too far, and shows Mom and Dad cut off at the waist. In another episode (“Cow and Chicken Reclining”), Cow and Chicken search through a closet by throwing out everything inside, and for a small moment, the upper (human) bodies which are rumored to be the bodies of Mom and Dad are visible as part of a discarded science project by Cow (however, considering the absurdist nature of the show's humor, this may be a throwaway gag).
41 ences such as“Mr. Likenopants”,“Officer Pantsoffski” ,“Mrs. Bare Derriere”,“Ivan Panced”,“Lance Sackless”, “Ben Panced,”“Rear iral Floyd”, “The Great Pantzini”,“Larry Lackapants”,“Mr. Jeans Begone”, “Dr. Laxslax”and “Dr./Mr./Prof. Heiniebottom"; Supercow will refer to the Red Guy's incarnations as“El Diablo sin pantalones”(literally,“the Devil without pants”). Within the show, the characters often refer to everyone else as ladies, girls, gals, or men, regardless of their gender, as well as constantly peppering their speech with malapropisms and using sarcasm. Mom and Dad will often say things to imply or outright say they are of the opposite gender. “It's ( time you started off your day like a man. Just like Momma!") The show often breaks the fourth wall. I Am Weasel exists as a cartoon in the fictional world of Cow and Chicken, however, this is contradicted in“I.R. In Wrong Cartoon”(a crossover between the two cartoons), when the Red Guy, disguised as a bearskin rug, says to Cow when she wants to take Weasel out of the TV to make him real, “He's just as real as you and I.”In “The Laughing Puddle”, when the entire population of Folsom has gone into the titular puddle, Chicken states,“Is anything in this cartoon ever going to make sense?" A few times throughout the series, some characters (usually the Red Guy) request for the cartoon to end.
Controversy The segment “Buffalo Gals”, which aired initially on February 20, 1998, along with the follow-up segment “Cow and Chicken Reclining,”was banned by Cartoon Network because of its innuendos implying that the Buffalo Gals were lesbians and its stereotyping of lesbians. The episode contained obvious sexual humor, which includes Mom's line “Oh, the Buffalo Gals, a motorcycle riding gang that randomly bursts into people's homes and chews on their carpet.”, the name of one of the bikers being“Munch Kelly,”the Buffalo Gals singing "Buffalo Gals" (Buffalo gals, won't you come out tonight?), and the Buffalo Gals playing softball and talking about“pitching” and“catching”, slang for gay sex.* [7] The episode aired only once, and was replaced with the episode“Orthodontic Police”in future airings, including on Netflix streaming.
They are occasionally seen driving a car with their feet, writing and grabbing on to things with their toes, and dialling a phone by kicking the numbers. Mom and Dad's shadows are shown as being cut off at the waist in several episodes like “Cow and Chicken Reclining”. Mama's body can be seen cut clearly in one scene when she laughs sitting on a TV in the episode “Which Came First?". A picture even exists on the wall of the parents from the waist down. In one episode, Cow disguises herself as Dad by wearing his pants, which nearly cover Cow's face. They were also seen in their only-legs form in the I Am 2.5.6 Weasel episode“Who Rubbed Out Cow and Chicken?".

Overview
The Powerpuff Girls revolves around the adventures of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. Each of the girls has a color: Blossom is pink, Bubbles is blue, and Buttercup is green. The plot of a typical episode is some humorous variation of standard superhero and tokusatsu fare, with the girls using their powers to defend their town from villains and giant monsters. In addition, the girls have to deal with normal issues young children face, such as sibling rivalries, loose teeth, personal hygiene, going to

the Powerpuff Girls were created by Professor Utonium in an attempt “to create the perfect little girls”using a mixture of "sugar, spice, and everything nice" (shown in respective fields of light blue, light green, and pink). However, he accidentally spilled a mysterious substance called “Chemical X”into the mixture, creating, instead of the “perfect little girl”, three girls (each possessing one of the above elements dominating her personality), and granting all three superpowers including flight, super strength, super speed, near invulnerability, x-ray vision, super senses, heat vision, and energy projection. In the original plot, the accidental substance was a can of “Whoo”, which was replaced by “Chemical X”in the aired version.* [7] The three girls all have oval-shaped heads, abnormally large eyes (inspired by Margaret Keane's art* [8]), stubby arms and legs, and lack noses, ears, fingers, necks, and flat feet with toes (McCracken preferred them to look more symbolic of actual girls rather than going for a“realistic”

look, meaning fewer body parts were needed* [9]). They wear dresses that match the colors of their eyes with black stripes, as well as white stockings and black Mary Janes. They do not have secret identities. The closing theme to the cartoon offers a nutshell description of the three Powerpuff Girls' personalities: Blossom, commander and the leader. Bubbles, she is the joy and the laughter. Buttercup, 'cause she's the toughest fighter. • Blossom (voiced by Cathy Cavadini) is the tactician and self-proclaimed leader of the Powerpuff Girls. Her personality ingredient is “everything nice”, her signature color is pink, and she has long red hair with a red bow. She was named for having spoken freely and honestly to the Professor shortly after her creation as shown in the Powerpuff Girls Movie. She is often seen as the most level-headed, and composed member of the group and also strong and determined.* [10] Her unique power is freezing objects with her breath as seen in the episode “Ice Sore”. • Bubbles (voiced by Tara Strong in the series and by Kath Soucie in the What a Cartoon! episodes) is the cute and sensitive one. Her personality ingredient is sugar, her signature color is blue, and she has short blonde hair in two pigtails. Bubbles is seen as kind and very sweet but she is also capable of extreme rage and can fight monsters just as well as her sisters can.* [10] Her best friend is a stuffed octopus doll she calls “Octi”, and she also loves animals. She exhibits the ability to both understand foreign languages such as Spanish, and communicate with various animals (squirrels, cats, monsters), and her unique power is emitting supersonic waves with her voice. • Buttercup (voiced by E. G. Daily) is the toughest of the three. Her personality ingredient is spice, her signature color is green, and she has short black hair in a flip. She is a tomboy who loves to get dirty, fights hard and plays rough; she does not plan and is all action.* [10] Buttercup is the only Powerpuff Girl without a unique super power (aside from being able to curl her tongue as shown in the episode“Nuthin' Special”).* [11] McCracken originally wanted to name the character “Bud”until a friend suggested the name Buttercup.* [4]

With a 10-year run, Ed, Edd n Eddy remains the longest-running original Cartoon Network series and Canadian-made animated series to date, and is also one of the longest-running United States 2.8.2 History animated series.
2.8. ED, EDD N EDDY Production Although cartoonist Danny Antonucci began his career by working as an animator on various children's series for Hanna-Barbera, his later solo works were edgy and aimed at adult audiences. He gained notoriety with the 1987 short film Lupo the Butcher and then, after founding his own production studio, a.k.a. Cartoon in 1994, created the series The Brothers Grunt for MTV. It was quickly cancelled, however, upon being met with poor reviews.* [1]* [2] On a dare, Antonucci then decided that he would try producing a children's animated series of his own. While deg a commercial, he ended up drawing three characters that he felt particularly pleased with. Growing excited over their potential, he named them Ed, Edd, and Eddy and spent the following months developing a show around them.* [3] He faxed a one-page concept sheet to Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon in 1996.* [3]* [4] Both studios quickly responded, Cartoon Network in only 20 minutes, and were enthusiastic and wanted to see more; they each demanded creative control, however, and Antonucci refused.* [1] After Cartoon Network agreed to let Antonucci have control of the show, conversations between Antonucci and the studio continued.* [1] Vice president of programming and production of Cartoon Network, Mike Lazzo, showed high interest in the series and requested a show bible, which came through by fax, a few pages at a time, over a period of the next few months.* [4] After an affirmative response from Cartoon Network president Betty Cohen, the legal paperwork and deal-making began, followed by a start-up meeting at the Chateau Marmont Hotel in Los Angeles. A deal was made that Antonucci's studio, a.k.a. Cartoon, would produce Ed, Edd n Eddy, the first Cartoon Network original series to be produced by an outside production company rather than Cartoon Network's Hanna-Barbera. The series also entered production and by-ed a sevenminute short; this marked the first time that one of the studio's original series had ever done this.* [4]
53 Antonucci, an advocate of hand-drawn animation, wanted to ensure Ed, Edd n Eddy was produced in a way similar to the cartoons from the 1940s to the 1970s. As a result, the series was the last to use cel animation; the cels were shipped to Korea for creating the initial animation, and then later edited back at Antonucci's a.k.a. Cartoon studio.* [1] To give the impression of movement, Ed, Edd n Eddy used “boiling lines”, shimmering character outlines which have been compared to Squigglevision.* [5]* [6] The boiling lines are not as noticeable as those in Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, but are still visible,* [7] and Antonucci likens it to cartoons of the 1930s.* [1] The boiling line is created by tracing off a drawing three times through sheets of paper.* [3] Antonucci explained that he felt it “helps keep the characters alive”and that he wanted to depart from other Cartoon Network series and pay homage to the classic cartoon era.* [1]* [3] According to Antonucci, he based the characters on real people in his life. The personalities of Ed, Double Dee, and Eddy are based on his own traits, and the activities of his two sons while the cul-de-sac children and the Kanker sisters were all based on children he grew up with.* [8] Rolf is based on Antonucci and his cousins, since he was part of an immigrant family, and grew up in a first generation foreign household with different customs and ways of living, compared to those born in Canada.* [8]* [9] Jimmy is based on one of his cousins, who was rather feminine and spent most of his time playing with girls rather than with boys.* [3] Jonny and Plank are inspired by one of Antonucci's childhood friends, a loner who spent most of his time outside with his blanket.* [3] He stated that he believed it was important to add Plank, a board of wood, to the show, and that he “thought it would be really cool to do the show with Plank taking on a character of his own”and to cause Jonny to do things he would usually never do.* [8] Some wanted Plank to be able to talk, smile and blink as if he was alive, but Antonucci insisted that it should be treated as a piece of wood, brought to life by Jonny's imagination.* [3] All the children have multicolored tongues; Antonucci said that the idea came after he saw his son and his friends with different-colored tongues because of eating different candy while he was working on a storyboard.* [3] The characters went through a number of “walking cycles” , a process used to determine how each character should walk or run, turn around, blink, etc. before the crew came up with the final product.* [3] Casting
Danny Antonucci, creator, director and co-writer of Ed, Edd n Eddy, produced the series on a dare.
Matt Hill, Samuel Vincent, and Tony Sampson were respectively cast as Ed, Double Dee, and Eddy. David Paul Grove and Keenan Christenson played the parts of Jonny 2 × 4 and Jimmy, respectively, while Sarah was voiced by Janyse Jaud. Peter Kelamis voiced Rolf, while Kathleen Barr was cast as Kevin. Nazz was voiced by Tabitha St.
54 Germain in season 1, Jenn Forgie in season 3 and Erin Fitzgerald in seasons 2, 4, 5 and 6. Fitzgerald also played the part of May, one of the Kanker Sisters, except in season 3 when she was voiced by Jenn Forgie. The other two Kanker sisters, Marie and Lee, were voiced by Kathleen Barr and Janyse Jaud. Eddy's adult brother is mentioned frequently throughout the series but does not appear until Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show, where he is voiced by series voice director Terry Klassen.* [10] Music and title sequence

This is animation that's, well, really animated.” * [42] Terrence Briggs of Animation World Magazine considered every second of the show “filler”and lamented that the main characters are drawn as“products from the school of acid-trip caricature.”* [43] After Briggs' review was published, a large number of letters ive of the show were sent to the magazine, prompting it to “take a

He is close called Albonquetine, named after one of their founders, friends with three animals; a pig named Pig (voiced Joshua Wendell Albonquetine.

CHAPTER 2. THE CARTOON CARTOONS “great thinkers”as Nietzsche, matters of existentialism, and the relevance of time. Og enjoys experiencing new things. To name a few adventures, Og made a video game for himself in“A Boy's Game” , performed nude in a fashion show in “Hot Couture”(possibly an homage to "The Emperor's New Clothes"), and made jujubombs in an episode of the same name.
• Wendell (voiced by S. Scott Bullock) is Lu's father, Og's uncle, Albert's brother and the Governor of the Island. He is wiry, weak-willed (as seen when he ate so many sweets that he returned into his former, “pre-workout”shape in the course of a few hours), and is seemingly unable to control his daughter or of delivering any sort of punishment to her. He is then apt to start crying. He has been the island's Governor for many years. This was misinterpreted by Mike, who thought he was an American-esque governor, which lead to an“election”on the island, not realising that the Islanders came to the island from England (and, as seen in the episode with “King Bob”, they hold the “King of England”in great respect). He has a large collection of tea cosies, and speaks in a squeaky falsetto similar in style to Kenneth Williams, although whether this was intentional or not remains uncertain. • Alfred (voiced by Tom Kenny) is Og's father, Wendell's brother, Lu's uncle and Margery's husband. He is eccentric and charismatic, and also has a noticeable speech impediment preventing him from pronouncing his Rs. He fancies himself to be the island's hunter, using suction-cup arrows to persistently hunt a single wombat. It appears that the island's inhabitants are vegetarian (though clams and chicken soup appear to be fair game), so one may wonder what happens if Alfred ever catches the wombat (Including Alfred himself). • Margery (voiced by Kath Soucie) is Og's mother and Alfred's wife, who fancies herself to be an artist and writer. Her arts including painting, sculpting, and cooking. The majority of Margery's artwork has to do with the island's ancestors. For this, she often seen working on a sculpture of several ancestors on the side of a mountain, reminiscent of Mount Rushmore. Every once in a while she will also be found painting food, and often found cooking it. Margery is the island's chef, preparing meals and tea for everyone on her side of the island, as well as preparing buffets and elaborate meals for special occasions. In writing, she is something of a historian. Throughout the series she is working on a book about the island's history titled“Cuzzlewits End”. Margery is very level-headed compared to Alfred's eccentric behavior. An example of this is shown in “Scuba Dooby Doo”when Alfred valiantly offers to protect everyone from the mailman whereas Margery plans on serving tea and crumpets.
• Old Queeks (voiced by Corey Burton) is the Island Elder and Medicine-Man whom the Islanders seek advice from. He is also seen to be able to perform a kind of magic, summoning dead spirits. He is often opposed to Mike's innovative ways, but sometimes gets caught up in the modern crazes to hit the island. Old Queeks claims to be psychic and he claims to “know all and see all”. In one episode, Mike becomes suspicious of Queeks and decides to investigate him. She climbed up the opposite side of the mountain and found that Old Queeks was not psychic but that he spied on the Islanders through a telescope. Even after Mike informed the Islanders about Old Queeks' telescope, they still held onto their beliefs that he was psychic and communicated with a higher power(s). In some respects, this is truth enough. He can see all with a telescope, and he did bring ghosts to the island to plague Mike for annoying him. He lives alone on the top of a mountain in a cave, and enjoys using “bat products”(i.e.: products made with bat guano). This includes everything from toothpaste to snacks. • Lancelot is Lu's long-suffering pet land turtle. She dresses her up in gaudy outfits, forces her to perform weird and dangerous stunts, and often makes her carry Lu on her back. For this reason, Lancelot is always running away from Lu, which is why she keeps her on a leash. Despite this abuse, Lancelot tends to be the savior of Mike and the Islanders (especially Lu) when they're in trouble. Like the other animals on the island, Lancelot tends to exercise more common sense than the humans. Unlike the of the Philosophical Society, she does not speak (except for a “squeaky”type scream when Lancelot's in danger or a snickering laugh and in “Night of the Living Relatives”where she shouted“BOO”to scare the daylights out of Lu). According to a Cartoon Cartoons book from 2001, Lancelot is female, though many times in the series Lancelot is referred to as a male by other characters. • Three pirates living nearby are descended from the pirates who caused the Brits to be shipwrecked in the first place, but were then shipwrecked themselves. Their leader is a captain with two wooden legs and two eye patches. Despite these handicaps he seems to get around without any problems. The pirates sometimes attempt to catch and eat Lancelot, but are always foiled by the three children. In one episode Mike invited the pirates to a Thanksgiving type feast but with only one catch, that the three Pirates had to dress up as Mike's (girl)friends visiting from Manhattan without causing concern with the others (with the exception of Lancelot who saw through their disguises). Their captain is known to force his men to put on blindfolds, so he can sneak into his treasury and put a rabbit puppet named Bunny on his hand, engaging in conversations with it, speaking for it in

a squeaky voice. In its first appearance, its mouth 2.9.5 External links moved as the captain spoke. In its following appear• Official website (archive) ance, the mouth stayed still. • The Cuzzlewits, the other inhabitants of the island (whose very existence Lu eagerly denies), live on the other side of the island. Although they are shown to live in caves, one of their number, Hermione (voiced by Grey DeLisle), a Cuzzlewit girl, is seen to be an extremely experienced thinker. She is accompanied by two Cuzzlewit boys, twin brothers Haggis and Baggis (voiced by Brian George and S. Scott Bullock, respectively), who constantly batter each other with clubs and appear to be dimwitted and rowdy. In the only episode taking place on the Cuzzlewits' side of the island, “Queeks, Queeks Who Got the Queeks?", they are revealed to have a much larger population than the Albonquetanians. The elders of the Cuzzlewits and the Albonquetanians do not get along, hence their separation. This leads to a practical question: what do the Cuzzlewits call the island? Despite the adults' squabbles, Mike and Hermione become friends in“The Three Amigas”. The Cuzzlewits are shown to all have the same genetic characteristics – an underbite which causes their lower central incisors to be bucked teeth.

2.10 Courage the Cowardly Dog
Courage the Cowardly Dog is an American animated horror comedy television series created by John R. Dilworth for Cartoon Network, and the eighth series to fall under the Cartoon Cartoons label. It follows an anthropomorphic dog named Courage who lives with his owners, Muriel and Eustace Bagge, an elderly, married farming couple in the“Middle of Nowhere”(the fictional town of Nowhere, Kansas). Courage and his owners are frequently thrown into bizarre misadventures, often involving the paranormal/supernatural and various villains. The show is known for its surreal, often disturbing humor and bizarre plot twists, dark and sometimes ma2.9.3 Episode list ture themes, and combines elements of horror, comedy, This is a list of episodes from the animated series Mike, science fantasy, and drama.

other supernatural perils from myths and legends that Courage must fend off to save his owners, unbeknownst to them. Although most of the creatures that the three face are frightening or disturbing, some turn out to be sweet and simply in distress. The plot generally uses horror conventions, common to horror films.
When deciding on sound effects, Dilworth tried to avoid pre-made stock sounds.* [2] He contributed a substantial amount of new material to sound designer Michael Geisler and only looked for sounds that made him laugh. The composition of the series' music relied on what was being portrayed: suspense, comedy, or action. The production crew worked together to come up with new music for the series that had not previously been used. There were a few sections on one particular piece that Dilworth exceptionally liked.* [2] The production crew was able to isolate these sections and expand them into a usable theme.* [2] Dilworth further complicated the crew's job by suggesting layering the theme with a variety of funny sounds, a strange tempo and a voice over of a crazed laugh or person singing to give the music and sound effects their own personality beyond anything else out there.* [2]
Original music featured in Courage the Cowardly Dog was composed by Jody Gray* [6] and Andy Ezrin.* [7]* [8] Classical music can be heard at times, which pays homage to classic Warner Bros. animation and the scores of Carl Stalling.* [9] In several episodes, Gray arranged various famous classical pieces and wrote up to 15 songs, such as Although episodic in nature, there are a handful of re- Wagner's “Ride of the Valkyries”.* [8] curring characters in the show's cast, including Courage's sarcastic, sentient computer, the family physician Dr. In 1999, Cartoon Network gave Dilworth permission to Vindaloo, the Gypsy fortune-telling chihuahua Shirley turn the short into an animated series.

However, Dilworth lains, such as Katz and Le Quack. insisted on taking the production to his Stretch Films Studios. The stories' plots were written by the show's head writer, David Steven Cohen, in addition to Irv Bauer, Craig Shemin, Lory Lazarus, Bill Marsilii, Allan Neuwirth, Bill Aronson and Michelle Dilworth. 2.10.2 Production Originally, Courage the Cowardly Dog was created as a seven-minute animated short,“The Chicken from Outer Space”. Dilworth started the animated short with HannaBarbera, sponsored by Cartoon Network and introduced Courage.* [2] Dilworth graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 1985. He became an art director and founded his own animation studio, Stretch Films in 1991, and incorporated in 1994.* [2] The animated short was shown as one of the episodes of Cartoon Network's World Premiere Toons in 1996, a Hanna-Barbera Cartoons innovation by then-president Fred Seibert. The short served as a de facto pilot for the future series.* [3] The original animated short had no dialogue except for one line spoken by Courage, who had a more authoritative voice than in the series. It was uttered by voice actor Howard Hoffman who also provided all the other vocal sounds and effects for the short.* [2] An alien chicken was the villain in this short, and it would later reappear in the series to seek its revenge.* [4] The short was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 68th Academy Awards.* [5]
Broadcast history Courage the Cowardly Dog originally was premiered as a short on February 18, 1996. The show premiered on November 12, 1999 and became the highest-rated premiere in Cartoon Network history at the time.* [10] It last aired on November 22, 2002, with 52 episodes produced in four seasons. On April 20, 2012, the series returned to Cartoon Network in re-runs on the revived block, "Cartoon Planet".* [11] On July 22, 2013, the series began to air reruns on Mondays on Cartoon Network.

2.11.3 Characters
A common running gag used throughout the first season was that, whenever the phrase “hold the phone”was said, there would be a cut to this still. This did not appear in Season 2.
Each episode is divided into three chapters; each one's title, as the narrator once quipped, is “some pun on the word 'sheep' or something": in the episode “To Sheep, Perchance, To Dream”, one of the chapters was actually named “Some Pun on the Word Sheep”. Fake ments are in between the chapters, and sometimes short skits, such as the Sombrero Brothers. The fake ments are usually of products from Oxymoron with the Oxymoron Spokesperson promoting it. Each product is usually of low quality, contrary to what one may think, or painful. The show's most unusual characteristic is its frequent breaking of the fourth wall. For instance, the vast majority of the characters make references to the show's structure, script, and, occasionally, its premise. For example, in the episode“Agony of De-Bleat”when General Specific finally captures Sheep, the Angry Scientist states that he didn't actually have the Ray Gun ready, thinking that they would never capture Sheep due to it “being so contrary to the set-up of the show”. The Narrator is also a pivotal character, frequently interacting with the characters via voice-over (and sometimes directly, when other characters unexpectedly show up in his studio). He also criticizes the television medium itself (such as the fact that two-thirds of the final episode of the first season was actually composed of dream sequences) and the script, occasionally ad-libbing when he doesn't quite get the script. He also tells the viewer to “just go with it” when the script seems to make no sense. Literal humor is also important to the show's style. Phrases and expressions such as “Hold the phone!" or "wild goose chase" are usually followed by literal interpretations of the phrase mentioned. A running gag in the show, for example, is that whenever a character exclaims, “Great Scott!" a Scotsman appears out of nowhere, saying, “Yes?" Whenever the phrase “Hold the phone!" Is said, it would cut to a still of Lisa Rental holding a phone. The first time the still is shown, it is in the episode“Baa-
• Sheep (voiced by Kevin Seal) is an anthropomorphic sheep, who is the main protagonist of the series. He is owned by Farmer John, who named him sheep due to the fact that“when he was born, he looked just like a sheep.”Sheep has a hard time with life—between getting chased by the military and trying to see Swanky the Poodle, the poodle that Sheep loves, without getting bonked on the head by Lady Richington with her stainless steel wig. Yet, he still makes time to act in dish-washing commercials, travel through time, get a job at a hip club, and also makes a living jumping over fences for insomniacs. Sheep bleats and does not speak in any intelligible human language. As he is a normal sheep, aside from possibly higher intelligence, he has trouble resisting his animal urges, such as eating grass, even when he is being chased by General Specific. • General Specific (voiced by Kevin Seal) is the main antagonist of the series. The dim-witted leader of the Secret Military Organization, Specific does his best to capture Sheep for his Sheep-Powered Ray Gun. He is never discouraged by his constant losses. Specific always speaks through his clenched teeth. He mentions in one episode that he has a steel plate in his head. In one episode, he also developed the habit of throwing his subordinates into “The Pit” (a door, appearing out of nowhere under the characters' feet) (he once did it to the subordinate who asked him why he doesn't simply catch some random sheep and make the Sheep-Powered Ray Gun compatible to it), but later, finds out that this is a problem, when neither he nor Private Public can manoeuvre the helicopter properly, because Specific dropped the helicopter pilot into the Pit. General Specific's name is an oxymoron. On his uniform, he has 3 medals that look like exclamation marks, and one that looks like a question mark. • Farmer John (voiced by James Edmund Godwin) is Sheep's original owner, also seeking to recapture him—although in a more mild-mannered way than General Specific. In one episode, it is revealed that “Far”and “Mer”are actually Farmer John's first and middle name, not his job description. According to Dirk and Sondra's reenacting of Farmer John's parents naming him, he was named“Far”after his father's desire to know how“far”he goes in life and “Mer”after a relative of Farmer John's mother. Sondra also jokingly suggested (albeit it's unclear if she said it on her own or if she was still acting as Farmer John's mother) that Farmer John could be named 'Elton'. Both Dirk and Sondra laughed at the suggestion. Farmer John's personality is best described

CHAPTER 2. THE CARTOON CARTOONS that, in order not to kill any of his farm animals, he prepares water soup for the re-union. He is constantly using pseudo-psychological talk, which is, in fact, extremely boring and instead of “helping”, it forces the characters not to pay attention to him. Another example of his annoyance is his “thanks” speech at the re-union, where he thanks for everything, including “air”and “silly shoes”he sometimes call Sheep “Sheepie”.
• Ben Plotz (voiced by Ken Schatz) is the show's narrator. He often complains about the quality of the writing on the show, but overall, he has an appreciation for the cast. He, on one occasion, embellishes the storyline when he dislikes the ending. • Private Public (voiced by James Edmund Godwin) is General Specific's right-hand man. He is always right behind General Specific, and despite being much smarter, he would prefer to receive orders than give them. His name is also oxymoronic. • The Angry Scientist (voiced by Mo Willems) often gets his hump busted for being an Angry Scientist rather than Mad, but he is the brains behind the organization, despite his extremely limited grasp of the English language (referring to it with the phrase “Why are you not my Englishness be understanding? All the timing with that.”). His inventions include the Sheep-Powered Ray Gun, the Clome, and a Time-Travel Bicycle (although Private Public flatly points out that if he can invent a time machine why can't he invent a ray gun that works without a sheep). He often goes into fits of rage at General Specific when he calls him a 'Mad Scientist' (“ANGURY!! I am an ANGURY Scientist!!"), and on one occasion, he is called the 'Angry Chemist'. At the end of Season 1, he considers calling himself “The Scientist With Some Issues”, now getting angry whenever he gets referred as “The Angry Scientist”. He's mistakenly called 'Mad Scientist' so often that, in one occasion, he complained about if out of habit when he was called 'Angry Scientist'. He once opened an anger management center where he taught people to become angrier. General Specific used to be one of his clients until he said the center made him madder, making the Angry Scientist expel him, claiming it was an 'Anger Management Center' and not a 'Madness Management Center'. General Specific was so angry for being expelled The Angry Scientist considered him another satisfied customer. • The Plot Device (voiced by Stephanie D'Abruzzo) is a machine that comes up with plans for General Specific, such as disguising sleep potion as water soup cooks to sneak into Farmer John's house. Her name is a pun as her main role in the stories is as a plot device.
• General Lee Outrageous (voiced by Joey Mazzarino) is General Specific's cousin, who is a stereotypical 1970s disco partier. He is nearly identical to Specific, but has sunglasses, shiny clothing, blue hair shaped into a ponytail, a gold tooth and three stars on his hat, as opposed to Specific's one star. Lee is also Specific's rival, and uses a goat-powered ray-gun. He has a sidekick called Private Party, who is similar to Private Public and could be his cousin. His name is a pun on “generally outrageous”. • Lady Virginia Richington (voiced by Ruth Buzzi in the pilot and Stephanie D'Abruzzo in the series) is the owner of Swanky. Lady Richington, of the Filthy Richingtons, is quite rich. She owns the majority of the city and is never seen without her gaudy jewellery and lavish clothing. While she may not look very intimidating, she has a severe hatred of sheep in general, and won't hesitate to pummel them into fluffy pulps with her stainless steel wig. • Lisa Rental (voiced by Stephanie D'Abruzzo) is an annoying, evil little girl, who thinks that Sheep is a “cutesy wootsey dog”and wants him desperately. Lisa also loves to refer to Sheep as “Doggy Woggy Smoggy Foggy Loggy Toggy Doggy”. Her name is a pun on the words, "lease a rental". When she and General Specific first met, she convinced him that Sheep was a dog by having Sheep obey her commands (not knowing her true colors back then, Sheep played along) and telling him Sheep was a sheep dog. • X Agent is a black-woollen sheep whom General Specific hired in order to capture Sheep. X Agent becomes best friends with Sheep and, after feeling remorse for betraying Sheep, betrays Specific and becomes a Batman-like superhero. In another episode, he becomes an overprotective guardian of Sheep. He leaves after Completely Powerful Guy reads a telegram from “The Writer”, informing X Agent that he has been assigned to Toledo, Ohio, and that the request is not“just a convenient way of getting you out of this show.”Like Sheep, X Agent bleats and does not speak in intelligible human language. • Oxymoron is an ox who debuted in numerous “Phony Bologna”ments for the Oxymoron company. He also makes cameos in some episodes. His name is a parody of oxymoron, a phrase in which an adjective that means the opposite of the noun that it describes is used (e.g. a smart idiot, a planned coincidence, Hopeless Optimistic, etc.). • Victor (voiced by Ken Schatz) is an obnoxious salesman and spokesperson who usually hosts the Oxymoron commercials.

Evil Con Carne is an American animated series/spin-off of Grim & Evil and sister show of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, created by Maxwell Atoms.* [1] The series first appeared on Cartoon Network during the show Grim & Evil, along with The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.

by the cartoon industry because they didn't want the competition in world domination.
On April 13, 2012, the series returned to Cartoon Network in reruns on the revived block, Cartoon Planet.* [2]
• Boskov (Jesse Corti in the pilot, Frank Welker in series): A former Russian circus bear, Boskov carries Con Carne's brain and stomach on his body. He is sometimes difficult to control due to his animal instincts and lack of intelligence.
2.12.1
Overview
Hector Con Carne was a“jillionaire playboy”crime lord and evil genius bent on taking over the world. Eventually, he was caught in an explosion initiated by his nemesis, Cod Commando, a soldier for the Secret Paramilitary Organized Response Kommand (S.P.O.R.K.). The explosion scattered most of his body across the world. He was rescued by a scientist, the curvaceous Major Dr. Ghastly, who placed his living remains into two containment units: one for his brain, and the other for his stomach. These two units were later installed into Boskov, a purple Russian circus bear, giving Con Carne's brain control over (almost) all of the bear's actions and movements. Hector, Dr. Ghastly and his military leader, General Skarr, then created a secret laboratory on an island with a bunny-shaped mountain known as “Bunny Island”(a parody of Blofeld's lair in the James Bond movies). Gathering an army, Con Carne resumed his quest for world domination and made a new goal: to find his missing body parts. The "Con Carne" of the title is Spanish/Italian for “with meat”, as well as a pun on the expression“evil incarnate” and the dish "Chili con carne". Characters
• Stomach (Armin Shimerman): This former stomach of Hector Con Carne will only talk if it's about food. • Cod Commando (Maxwell Atoms): Con Carne's nemesis. He is an extremely talented anthropomorphic codfish secret agent/superhero in SPORK, who only speaks in gibberish. He almost invariably thwarts Con Carne's evil plans and is responsible for destroying Hector's body. • Destructicus Con Carne: (Rino Romano) Destructicus is Hector and Ghastly's son from the future, created when the two, along with Skarr, were stranded on a deserted island. Destructicus rejects his father's evil ways and becomes a superhero, fighting in the name of good, mainly against Hector's forces. He still loves his parents, though only Ghastly returns his affections. In his premiere episode, “The Time Hole Incident”, the present Hector is baffled at how he was conceived (considering Hector lost his reproductive system). • Estroy (Maurice LaMarche): Hector's very short next-island neighbor; the two are very competitive. He wears a metal mask to hide his immense beauty, as seen in the episode “The HCCBDD”. He is a parody of Destro, a villain from the G.I. Joe series. He also seems to have a crush on Ghastly.
• Hector Con Carne (Phil LaMarr): the main character and the antihero. He was a dynamic, evil playboy type, but was reduced to an anthropomorphic brain and a stomach after a gigantic explosion. Somehow, the stomach has taken on a life of its own. He is often frustrated by the difficulty of taking over Minor characters the world in its current state. • Abraham Lincoln (Peter Renaday): The “Presi• Major Dr. Ghastly (Grey DeLisle): A mad sciendent”of this show.

The pair also may use Grim's enormously strong supernatural abilities or ties with a number of beastly characters to achieve goals or desires for themselves with grotesque, altered, or twisted end results. Famed fictional monsters including Dracula, the Wolfman, and the bogeyman are also comically depicted in the series, which also includes the characters of the nerdy, awkward Irwin and the snobby, stuck-up, spoiled Mindy. The show lacks continuity for the most part, as many episodes end with characters killed, exiled, or stuck in a situation. Characters sometimes display an awareness of some events from previous episodes, but there are no clear character arcs or coherent plot lines tying the show together for the most part.

Billy and Mandy are best friends, although sometimes it is hard to tell. She almost never smiles, and denies it when she actually does. Her parents are also scared of her.

History
Billy and Mandy started out as a short made by Maxwell Atoms during school. In the short, Billy was trying to drill his head to free the evils from within. The short has never been shown publicly.* [6] The show's existence is the result of a viewer poll event by way of telephone and the Internet called Cartoon Network's Big Pick which was held from June 16 to August 25, 2000.* [7] The three final choices were The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Whatever Happened to Robot Jones? and Longhair and Doubledome.* [7] Out of the three, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy attained the most votes with 57%; Robot Jones came in second place at 23% while Longhair and Doubledome received 20% of the vote.* [7]* [8] The first season began airing on Cartoon Network on August 24, 2001. Originally part of Grim & Evil, Billy & Mandy served as the main show. In each episode, an Evil Con Carne short was put between two Grim shorts.* [7] On occasion, it was the other way around, with two Evil shorts and one Grim short. On June 13, 2003, the network separated the two and gave each their own full-length program. The shortlived Evil Con Carne show was cancelled once the alreadyproduced season had aired. Some characters from Evil Con Carne occasionally appeared on The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. General Skarr would become a permanent recurring character by moving next door to Billy. And in one episode Major Doctor, Hector, Bozkov and Stomach tried convincing Skarr into coming back to

CHAPTER 2. THE CARTOON CARTOONS got his powers (For example, in The Spider Queen, he was elected to his position as the Grim Reaper while he was in middle school; however, in“A Grim Prophecy”, it is shown that he was the Grim Reaper since his childhood with his parents forcing him to be the Reaper, which is revealed to be all a dream and further contradicted in a later episode where he is seen stumbling over his scythe to become Grim Reaper). His scythe is the source of his powers and possesses many magical qualities; although he is still capable of using magic without it, these instances are quite rare.
• Billy (voiced by Richard Horvitz): He is an eightyear-old happy-go-lucky child with an extremely low IQ of −5. He was outperformed by a shovel and a candy necklace on an IQ test. He has an extremely large, pink nose, wears a blue and white striped shirt, and covers his orange hair with a red hat. His main affiliations are Grim and Mandy. Mandy is Billy's best friend, though she treats him more like a servant than a friend. It has been hinted several times that Billy may have underlying feelings for Mandy that even he (in his stupidity) may not fully realize. Billy is definitely kinder to Grim than Mandy is, and while he may go against the Reaper's advice and use him as a plaything, he appears to genuinely like him. Of the two children, Billy is the one who most often tells Grim that he's his “best friend”.
• Major Dr. Ghastly (voiced by Grey DeLisle): A mad scientist, Ghastly is the brains behind all Hector's plans. Ghastly does not really seem to be intent on taking over the world; she is more interested in inventing things and getting closer to Hector. • General Skarr (voiced by Lance Henriksen, then by Armin Shimerman): Con Carne's paramilitary leader. He is a cold-hearted, hateful and harsh man, with a scar on his face, and one eye. He tends to be more evil than Con Carne himself, many times trying to overthrow his leader. He has made several appearances on Maxwell Atoms' other show, “The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy”, as Billy's next door neighbor. He has also starred in the Billy & Mandy spin-off, Underfist. Skarr seems to resemble Fearless Leader, Herr Starr and General Armin Skull. It has been stated that he quit working for Hector Con Carne after they were “bought out” by the cartoon industry because they didn't want the competition in world domination. • Boskov (voiced by Frank Welker): A former Russian circus bear, Boskov carries Con Carne's brain and stomach on his body, via metal plates on said spots. He is usually controlled by Con Carne and seems to care for everyone around him. He is sometimes difficult to control due to his animal instincts and lack of intelligence.

In the context of the show, this often means that historical figures have made different, sometimes anachronistic, choices in life (see free will), and as such will not be able to fulfill the role that history says they fulfilled.

Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones? (usually shortened to Robot Jones) is an American animated television series that aired on Cartoon Network from 2002 to 2003. The show centers on Robot Jones, a robotic teenager attending a suburban middle school. The show is the 12th series to fall under the Cartoon Cartoons label.
2.16.1 Overview Plot and characters The series centers on Robot Jones (Macintalk Junior; Bobby Block), who, as his name suggests, is a robot who lives in a small city in Delaware, in a futuristic version of the 1980s.* [1] Robot attempts to learn of human nature by attending Polyneux Middle School, where he makes

He also meets Shannon Westerburg (Grey DeLisle), a girl he has an unrequited crush on, because of her large retainer and metal prosthetic leg.
After waning from the network executives, constant time slot changes, and steps to redevelop the series (including re-casting the voice of Robot), Greg Miller left the show and Robot Jones was cancelled during its second season. Animation Robot Jones's animation style can been seen as a throwback to 1970s and 1980s cartoons such as as Schoolhouse Rock!, with an intentionally messy and rough look. The artistic style seems to be influenced by Paul Coker and Jolly Roger Bradfield. Robot Jones 's animation technique is different from most American cartoons from the early-to-mid-2000s. It was animated with traditional cel animation, at a time when many American cartoons had switched to digital ink and paint (possibly due to the 1980s settings).* [1] The show was animated at Rough Draft Studios at Seoul, Korea.
In each episode, Robot, usually with the help of his friends, does whatever he can to fit in the human society, which sometimes goes awry and gets himself into situations brought on by his social ineptitude and others' lack of understanding. In some episodes, he gets into a conflict with genius twin brothers who look nothing alike, Lenny and Denny Yogman. At the end of most episodes, Broadcast Robot makes a data log entry, in which he states what he learned that day and what conclusions he has arrived at After being cancelled, the series continued to air for a few more months throughout 2003 and 2004, before beon humanity. ing removed from the network's schedule.

He is quite a fanatic to rock music. He has blond curly hair and wears a green jacket. • Charles “Cubey”Cubinacle (voiced by Myles Jeffrey) is the shorter friend with dark, straight hair, sunglasses with window blinds for lenses, and roller skates. He is a video game lover. • Mitch Freeman Davis (voiced by Gary LeRoi Gray) is a lad often seen wearing headphones, a red sweater and sandals. His eyes are obscured by his long hair. In “Scantron Love”, his last name was Davis. • Dad Unit is Robot's father. When he says something, he often says it three times; one example would be “Listen to your mother! Listen to your mother! Listen to your mother!" as said in the inaugural episode. He has one hand, wears a tie and in his focus on tasks he often gets into shenanigans such as smashing through walls. He is voiced by Macintalk's 'Ralph' voice, which was also used for the voice of Auto in WALL-E. • Mom Unit (voiced by Grey DeLisle) is Robot's mother. She is pink in color and her hands look like the ends of a gas pump's hose which she uses for giving fuel to her fellow units. She seems to generally have a no-nonsense attitude. Recurring

Shannon talks with a lisp. • Gramps Unit (voiced by Macintalk's 'Zarvox') is Robot Jones' grandfather. Gramps Unit sounds like Robot Jones' father, but he could be the dad of Dad Unit & Mom Unit. It is shown in“Vacuum Friend” that he strongly dislikes humans and wishes for machines to take over from mankind as rulers of the planet. However, he cares deeply for Robot, as seen in “House Party”. • Mr. McMcMc (voiced by Maurice LaMarche in the pilot and Rip Taylor in the series) is Robot Jones' math teacher.

2.17 Codename: Kids Next Door Codename: Kids Next Door, also known as Kids Next Door or by its initials KND, is an American animated television series created by Tom Warburton and produced by Curious Pictures* [2] The series debuted on Cartoon Network on December 6, 2002, and aired its final episode on January 25, 2008. The series came about as the result of a viewer's poll by Cartoon Network.* [3] The series centers on the adventures of five children who operate from a high-tech tree house fighting against adult tyranny. They use advanced 2x4 technology to battle evil adult super villains. Using their codenames (Numbuh 1, Numbuh 2, Numbuh 3, Numbuh 4 and Numbuh 5) they are Sector V, part of a global organisation called The Kids Next Door.
Warburton created a pilot episode for another show, Kenny and the Chimp. Originally, there was a group of children who called themselves “The Kids Next Door” among the recurring characters, and would often get Kenny into trouble. The plot-line was then changed to focus on the group of kids alone, and later, the kids battling adulthood.* [7] In 2001, the show's pilot episode, “No P in the OOL”, won a Cartoon Network viewer's poll, and as a result, Codename: Kids Next Door was greenlit to become a series.* [8] Storylines The episodes are titled as the Kids Next Door's missions, denoted as “Operation:" followed by an acronym which often gives viewers clues as to what the episode is

Such a practice has inevitably led to the creation of many KND villains who escaped decommissioning (notably Cree, Numbuh 5's older sister, and Chad, formerly Numbuh 274 and supreme commander of the Kids Next Door).
• Numbuh 1 / Nigel Uno (voiced by Benjamin Diskin) - A bald English boy who is rarely seen without his trademark sunglasses and does not put complete trust in anyone but his teammates. He wears a red long sleeve shirt, gray shorts, and brown boots with rocket jets. Nigel is a workaholic who consistently puts business before himself. In the movie “Operation Z.E.R.O.”, he mentions that Numbuh 2 is his best friend. Throughout the series, his girlfriend is Numbuh 49, but their relationship came to an end in the final season when she explained that she was tired of him repeatedly putting KND priorities over her.* [10] He is the only operative on his team to be an only child, though he shares a siblinglike relationship with his cousin Numbuh 10. He is the first KND operative to be selected for Galactic Kids Next Door from planet Earth. His last name, Uno, is Italian and Spanish for "one".
Technology
• Numbuh 2 / Hogarth “Hoagie”Pennywhistle Gilligan, Jr. (voiced by Benjamin Diskin) - An inventor and pilot with a ion for flight, rarely seen without an old fashioned brown aviator hat with the number 2 on it. Numbuh 2 builds all the technology used by his sector. He is an overweight American boy with light brown hair who wears a light blue collared shirt, brown pants, and black sneakers. In “Operation: F.I.S.H.Y.”, he says he is Numbuh 4's “bestest best friend”. Hoagie often enjoys cracking puns, though he is the only one who finds them funny. His interests besides flight include Yipper trading cards and being a film-noir detective.
KND agents utilize a vast array of mechanical, electronic gadgets and machinery, collectively referred to as 2x4 (two-by-four) technology. The KND 2x4 technology was originally conceived as an assortment of common household objects, being put to use in combat situation; a theme
• Numbuh 3 / Kuki Sanban (voiced by Lauren Tom) - A happy-go-lucky Japanese girl whose love for every creature often interferes with her responsibilities. Kuki has black hair and wears an oversized green sweater whose sleeves cover her hands,
The practice of strict decommissioning at age 13 was later on revealed to be subject to exceptions: kids who have proved to be exceptional agents are offered the chance to carry on in KND as spies infiltrating the teen organization.* [9] Decommissioning has also proved reversible due to a “re-commissioning”module used twice in the series.

CHAPTER 2. THE CARTOON CARTOONS black leggings, and black sneakers. She is a fan of Rainbow Monkeys, a stuffed monkey toy series, and irrationally defends her love for them, occasionally allowing her aggressive side to show. In contrast with her innocent, gentle, and happy-go-lucky personality, she is the pilot of a giant robotic rabbit named H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P. (Hare Inspired Piston Powered Ingenious Exoskeleton Hops Over Parents), which is thoroughly armed with missiles; however, the robot is destroyed in every episode it appears in, with Numbuh 3 parachuting out afterwards. She has been shown on numerous occasions to scare her teammates with her fierce anger. She is shown to have a crush on Numbuh 4, most evident in “Operation: N.A.U.G.H.T.Y.”where she claims to have got the best gift for him and later when she was possessed by the powers of Santa's sleigh, and turned into a greedy creature, she was brought back to normal when Numbuh 4 gave her a Christmas gift (french fries). Unlike the others, the two often call each other Wally and Kuki rather than using their codenames. She also made a cameo in Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure where it is revealed that after Grim was fired from being the Grim Reaper, she was his replacement. Her last name “Sanban”is Japanese for “number three".
• Numbuh 4 / Wallabee “Wally”Beatles (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) - A short Australian boy with a blond bowl haircut known for acting impulsively. Wally wears an orange hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers. He is the most capable one of the team when it comes to physical fighting; however, his general lack of intelligence often leads to him being easily fooled and selected for dangerous missions. Numbuh 4 is shown to receive poor grades in school and is often depicted as dim-witted. However, he displayed intelligence in “Operation: S.A.T.U.R.N.”where he points out to Numbuh 3 that she cannot follow the Rainbow Monkey scent because there is no air in space and in “Operation: P.O.O.L.”he was able to tell his teammates from their Negative counterparts and later defeated his own counterpart Negative Numbuh 4 by making him scared when he told him“Well if you're my opposite, then that makes you a coward.”He is shown to sometimes bully kids in school and give them wedgies, but it is implied that he was also bullied by teenagers. In “Operation: B.R.I.E.F.”, he says that Numbuh 1 is his best friend. He has an infant brother named Joey Beatles who appears throughout the series. He also has a crush on his teammate, Numbuh 3 (which he often denies). He often makes compromises to please her and does things he does not want to do, such as dres as her plush toy and singing on stage with Kuki. He came close to confessing his feelings to her in many episodes “Operation: U.N.D.E.R.C.O.V.E.R.”, “Operation: H.O.S.P.I.T.A.L.”, “Operation: L.O.V.E.”
and “Operation: P.L.A.N.E.T.”In “Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.”, he is shown to be married to Numbuh 3. His last name is a reference to The Beatles, who had four principal .
• Numbuh 5 / Abigail “Abby”Lincoln(-Gilligan) (voiced by Cree Summer) - An intelligent and laid back girl of African American and French descent. She wears a red cap, blue dress with white stripes on the side, white shoes, and braided black hair. Despite having the highest number, Abby is Sector V's second-in-command, rarely overreacting in their missions, instead opting to calm her friends, and usually assumes leadership whenever Number 1 is absent, including saying “Kids Next Door, Battle Stations!", Number 1's usual line. She talks in third person much of the time, and loves sweets (especially ice cream). In “Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.”, it is shown that she takes over sector V after Numbuh 1's departure and becomes the supreme leader of KND. She often had episodes focused on her which involved Heinrich Von Marzipan, a candy hunting villain and rival. Abby has a teenage older sister named Cree (formerly known as Numbuh 11 and also voiced by Cree Summer) who betrayed the KND and is a recurring teenage villain. Her last name is a reference to the fact that President Abraham Lincoln is on the United States five-dollar bill.
• Numbuh 86 / Fanny Fulbright (voiced by Jennifer Hale) - Head of decommissioning who speaks and yells in a Scottish accent at unnecessary times. She has red hair and often wears a green shirt, an orange skirt, brown boots, and a gray helmet with the number 86 on the front. She is frequently shown to be sexist, believing girls are far superior to boys (often calling boys “stupid”). Due to this, the only character with a positive attitude of Numbuh 86 is the happy-go-lucky Numbuh 3. However, she its in “Operation: E.N.D.”that she finds Numbuh 4 to be “kind of cute”. In “Operation D.A.D.D.Y”, it is revealed her father is the villain Mr. Boss.
• Numbuh 362 / Rachel T. McKenzie (voiced by Rachael MacFarlane) - A blond girl who is the Supreme Leader of the Kids Next Door Organization, and one of the major recurring and ing characters in the show. Numbuh 362 gained a major role beginning with the season two episode “Operation: F.U.G.I.T.I.V.E.”, where it is explained that she is the KND's top spy. It is revealed in the season three episode “Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S.” that she had taken the position of supreme leader after Numbuh 274 was decommissioned.
2.17. CODENAME: KIDS NEXT DOOR Villains • Delightful Children from Down the Lane / Sector Z Operatives (voiced by Benjamin Diskin, Dee Bradley Baker, and Cree Summer) - Five “delightfulized”children who move, talk, even laugh in synchronization. They obey all adults, especially their adoptive father: they and Father are the most recurring villains of the series. Rather than interfere themselves, the Delightful Children usually stand back and let a giant robot or super-powered minion do their work. In “Operation: Z.E.R.O.”, it is revealed that they are the lost KND operatives of Sector Z, having been “delightfulized”by Father. Their names are: Bruce* [11] (short blonde boy), Lenny* [12] (football helmet boy), David* [13] (tall boy), Ashley (tall, blonde girl) and Ogie (chubby, brunette girl).* [14] In “Operation Z.E.R.O.”they were turned back to their original selves for a short while to help Nigel fight. They then reverted to their villain selves, due to the“delightfulization”process being permanent. • Father / Benedict Uno (voiced by Maurice LaMarche in Father mode and Jeff Bennett in Benedict mode) - An adult who constantly wears a suit of shadows, and is the KND's greatest enemy. He first appeared in the season 1 finale: Operation: G.R.O.W.-U.P.. His powers include pyrokinesis, levitation, mind control, and shape-shifting. Despite being one of the strongest villains on the show, he can be temporarily incapacitated by dousing his flames with cold substances or water. Father's body is completely black with a red outline along his body and eyebrows, giving him a silhouette-like appearance with few other discernible features, which include his bright yellow eyes. However, this is actually just an illusion, his true appearance is that of a tall, middle-aged man with glasses and suspenders, as seen in “Operation Z.E.R.O.”, as well as with his good counterpart from the alternate universe. In "Operation: Z.E.R.O", it is revealed that he is Numbuh 1's paternal uncle. • Mr. Boss (voiced by Jeff Bennett) - A child-hating corporate executive, who acts as the de facto leader of the KND's standard rogue's gallery. He is very physically large, has a bald head, a mustache, an over-sized cigar in his mouth, and a hunched back. He often holds gatherings for the other villains of the series. He also is Numbuh 86 and 85's father, and is the second in command of the villains after Father. In “Operation: D.A.D.D.Y.”, he explains to his daughter Numbuh 86 that while he loves his own children, he hates everybody else's children, with his original appearance involving him planning to launch the children of his employees into space so they'd be able to work late with no families to come home to.
83 • Numbuh 11 / Cree Lincoln (voiced by Cree Summer) - Numbuh 5's teenage elder sister and Father's apprentice, Numbuh 11 first appears in the season 2 episode “Operation: S.U.P.P.O.R.T.”She is a former KND operative (going by the name Numbuh 11) who served as leader and 2x4 tech officer of Sector V three years prior to the start of the series. She was the one who gave Numbuh 5 her trademark hat. Numbuh 2 has a crush on Numbuh 11, and makes advances towards her (which she repeatedly rejects). In “Operation: K.I.S.S.”when she comes across him after he accidentally turned himself into a teenager, he gives his name as “Hank” . The two go on a date, though Numbuh 11 is repulsed when she later finds out who “Hank”really is. Despite Numbuh 2's affections for Numbuh 11, he is shown to be married to Numbuh 5 in “Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S”. Numbuh 11 began working for Father after betraying the KND. • Numbuh 274 / Chad Dickson (voiced by Jason Harris) - The so-called“best”Kids Next Door operative, who rose through the ranks after becoming famous for defeating an infamous gang of adult tyrants. However, in the season 2 finale “Operation: E.N.D.”he betrayed his fellow operatives by hiding that he turned 13 years old. In the following seasons, he ed the teenagers and became a recurring villain, leading his own team of villain teenagers known as The Jets. In the season 6 finale “Operation: T.R.E.A.T.Y.”, it is revealed that he was working undercover for the KND. He disappears along with Numbuh Infinity at the end of T.R.E.A.T.Y and is never seen again according to Numbuh One. He is the son of villains Mega-Mom and Destructo-Dad. • Knightbrace / Jasper Jelly (voiced by Tom Kenny) - A villain obsessed with dental and oral hygiene and has a weakness for taffy. Mr. Jelly had aspired to become a dentist all his life, but used extreme methods and was kicked out of dental school for trying to put braces on babies. He was then forced to work in his family's candy store, thus damaging children's teeth rather than cleaning them. He then became Knightbrace and sought out to repair the damage he had done. His one weakness is taffy. • Stickybeard (voiced by Mark Hamill) - A candyhunting pirate who sails the suburbs in his ship, The Sweet Revenge, with his crew of pirates, robbing kids of their candy. his name references the notorious real-life pirate Blackbeard, much like his ship references Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge, as well as the fact that his beard has pieces of candy stuck to it. The candy of Stickybeard and his crew is very prominent to the point that parts of the ship itself is made of candy, and they use weapons made of candy, such as candy cane swords and gumball cannons. He has a personal rivalry with Numbuh

He was a cabin boy for notorious candy pirate Long John Licorice, before the former became cursed to a state of living licorice death along with the rest of his crew.
• Toiletnator / Lou Pottingsworth III (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) - The weakest villain in the series and an embarrassment to the other villains, to whom he is constantly trying to prove himself. He has control over toilets and toiletries. He is the selfproclaimed nemesis of Numbuh 4, who is revealed to be his nephew in the comic story “Operation: H.I.S.T.O.R.I.E.” • Count Spankulot (voiced by Daran Norris) - A spoof of Count Dracula, he is a vampire who spanks naughty children. The count made his brief debut in the episode “Operation: C.A.N.N.O.N”to spank the KND for not returning their library books on time and has become a recurring character ever since. By removing one of his gloves, he can turn people into spank-happy vampires like himself, and they can only change back to normal if they spank him. • Crazy Old Cat Lady (voiced by Grey DeLisle) A old woman who lives with thousands of black and white cats. She is an exaggeration of the common archetype of an old woman owning cats. Her bond with her cats is so strong that she possesses the power to control them and can order them to attack enemies when threatened. In extreme situations, the cats form together into the shape of a giant cat around her, which she directly controls. • Grandma Stuffum (voiced by Grey DeLisle) - A large German woman who creates gross armies of living food to fatten kids up to obese proportions so they will not cause trouble. She commands an army of living food that aggressively feeds itself to kids. Among these are Grandma Stuffum's constant companions, Liver and Onions. Stuffum has twice also exhibited above-average strength. • Mr. Fizz / Angelo Fizz (voiced by Jeff Bennett) The head of the Soda Control Board, who has raised the legal soda drinking age to thirteen. He enforces this law strongly, putting him in conflict with the Kids Next Door. Mr. Fizz speaks with a Spanish accent and wears a fancy white suit and purple glasses. He uses weapons based on soda bottles and barrels, and cannot stand the sound of children. He is easily stressed out, and usually resorts to drinking soda to calm his nerves. • Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb / John Wink and Timothy Fibb (voiced by Tom Kenny and Dee Bradley Baker) - A pair of villains who use robotic Super
Chairs to fight the KND during the early seasons. They are almost always seen sitting next to each other and have an alternating speech pattern, often asking rhetorical questions to each other and addressing the other by name at the end of each sentence. They were inspired by Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd from the James Bond novel and film Diamonds are Forever. • Henrietta “Heinrich”Von Marzipan (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker and Candi Milo) - He is Numbuh 5's chubby German candy-hunting rival with blond hair, blue eyes and a monocle. He loves candy as much as his rival Numbuh 5 does. He is based on the Nazis from Indiana Jones films. In“Operation: C.A.R.A.M.E.L.”it is revealed that Heinrich is actually a girl. In the episode, magic caramels can be created by ritual that takes away one's most cherished quality. In turn for this sacrifice, the caramels become the most delicious candies in the world. Henrietta created the caramels using her femininity and ate what she believed to be all of them. Numbuh 5 kept the last remaining caramel that contained Heinrich's femininity and was able to reverse the ritual. • Ice Cream Men (voiced by Tom Kenny, Dee Bradley Baker, Kevin Michael Richardson, and Daran Norris) - The men who operate Ice Cream Trucks. In the KND universe, Ice Cream Men are portrayed as villains who mainly serve as henchmen to The Delightful Children From Down the Lane and Father. They sell ice cream only to “responsible adults”, referencing the real life tendency of ice cream trucks to drive by potential customers without stopping, to the point of it appearing intentional. Numbuh One was briefly employed by the group during the period he had been turned into an adult by the Delightful Children. • Senior Citizen Squad (voiced by Candi Milo, Tom Kenny and Dee Bradley Baker) - A group of senior citizens led by Numbuh 2's grandmother (Lydia Gilligan) who use an anti-aging cream that turns them into very physically agile teenagers.

Later, when they attack the Sector V Treehouse, the effects of the anti-aging cream wear off and their true identities are revealed. They also appear as of the senior citizens home being “helped” by Robin Food and his merry men, who have been stealing junk food from children and giving it to the elderly, while the seniors themselves hates the food, and would rather be served regular retirement home fare.

Numbuh L is very possessive over him and will often go out of her way to try to get him to spend more time with her. She gets angry when he puts his KND work before her and his tendency to jilt her or break off dates just to go on missions. Even though she continues to tolerate it, she eventually breaks up with him, after repeatedly being neglected for his missions. The rest of the team find her to be more of an annoyance or a topic to pester Nigel about rather than a helpful ally, though she has been useful in a few instances. • Numbuh T / Thomas “Tommy”Gilligan (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) - Numbuh 2's younger brother, first appearing in “Operation: T.O.M.M.Y.”in his first appearance, Tommy was an enemy of the KND because he wanted to be with his older brother and hang out with his friends, but they would not allow it. When he started proving to be more useful, they changed their minds. He originally sought to the KND as “Numbuh T” (despite being repeatedly told that “T”is not a number), which the others agreed to after his helping them in the season 2 finale“Operation: E.N.D.” However, he was forced to quit to save them from Father in “Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S.”and, due to a computer safeguard, was unable to re.

Main article: Adventure Time (pilot) According to series creator Pendleton Ward, the show's style was influenced both by his time attending California Institute of the Arts and by his experience working as a storyboard artist on The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. In addition, he explained that he tries to include

89 Finn and an “oblivious”Princess Bubblegum going on a spaghetti-supper date.* [12] However, the network was not happy with this story, and asked for another. Ward then created an early storyboard for the episode "The Enchiridion!" which was his attempt to emulate the style of the original Nicktoons short. Cartoon Network approved the first season in September 2008, and “The Enchiridion!" became the first episode to enter into production.* [12]* [13]* [15]* [16] The series was originally billed as Adventure Time with Finn and Jake.* [7] This was because the producers were at first unsure if they could secure the rights to the simpler title Adventure Time. Despite these initial reservations, the end of the original was later dropped.* [17]
Production
The show was created by Pendleton Ward.
“beautiful”moments like those in Hayao Miyazaki's film My Neighbor Totoro, in combinations with elements of subversive humor.* [2] The show began as a single standalone animated short which ran for seven minutes. Ward created the short almost entirely by himself, and wrapped up production for the short in the spring of 2006.* [9] It originally aired on Nicktoons Network as a stand-alone short in January 2007,* [9] and was later re-aired as part of Frederator Studios' Random! Cartoons on December 7, 2008.* [1]* [10] After its initial release, the short video became a viral hit on the internet.* [11] Frederator Studios then pitched an Adventure Time series to Nicktoons Network, but the network ed on it twice.* [12] The studio then approached Cartoon Network. The network said they would be willing to produce the series if Ward could prove that the series could be expanded into a series while maintaining elements from the original short.* [13] Ward quickly retooled the concept of the pilot; he wanted a potential series to be “fully realized”, rather than be characterized by the “pre-school vibe”that permeated the original pilot.* [11] One of the major changes from the pilot to the series was the new-found emphasis placed on the background art. Dan “Ghostshrimp” James, a freelance illustrator and former Flapjack storyboardist, was tasked with deg the world of the show; reportedly, he was told by Ward to make the series look like it took“place in a 'Ghostshrimp World'".* [11]* [14] He designed major locations, such as Finn and Jake's home, the Candy Kingdom, and the Ice Kingdom.* [14] Ward, with help from his college friends Pat McHale and Adam Muto, turned in a rough storyboard that featured
While many cartoons are based on script pitches to network executives, Cartoon Network allowed Adventure Time to “build their own teams organically”and communication through the use of storyboards and animatics.* [18] Cartoon Network chief content officer Rob Sorcher explained that this novel approach was sanctioned because the company was dealing with“primarily visual people”and that by using storyboards the writers and artists could learn and grow “by actually doing the work.”* [18] Many of the series' artists have backgrounds in indie comics. Pendleton Ward refers to them as “really smart, smartypants people”who were responsible for inserting weirder and more spiritual ideas into the series during its third season.* [19] In an interview with The A.V. Club, Ward explained that the writing process for the show usually begins with the writers telling each other what they had done the past week in an attempt to find something humorous to build off of. He also said that,“a lot of the time, if we’re really stuck, we’ll start saying everything that comes to our mind, which is usually the worst stuff, and then someone else will think that’s terrible but it’ll give him a better idea and the ball just starts rolling like that.”* [20] Ward also revealed that a major inspiration for the series is the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons. Before the series aired, many of the writers were avid fans of the game. However, because of the busy schedule that comes with writing and coordinating a television series, they no longer had time to actively play the game. Ward explained that, because the writers were too busy, they would attempt to write stories that they would “want to be playing D&D with.”* [20] Sometimes, the series' writers and storyboard artists convene and play various writing games.* [21] One example is called exquisite corpse, in which one writer starts a story on a sheet of paper, and the paper is folded and another writer tries to finish it.* [21]* [22] Ward, however, noted that “the ideas are usually terrible”.* [22] Storyboard artist Cole Sanchez revealed that episodes' scripts are either created by expanding the good ideas that these writing games produce, or

Adventure Time is a storyboard-driven series, meaning that the writers for the episodes use storyboard templates (pictured) to draft out both the dialogue, as well as the action in a scene.
After the writers pitch the stories, the ideas are compiled onto a “two-to-three”page outline that contain “the important beats”.* [23] The episodes are then ed to storyboard artists, who are given a week to“thumbnail a storyboard”and fill in the details, complete with action, dialogue, and jokes.* [23]* [24] Ward and his creative directors then review the storyboard and make notes. The storyboard artists are then given another week to implement the notes and clean up the episode.* [24] Storyboard writing and revisioning can take up to a month. Following the revisions, the voices for the episode are recorded and an animatic is compiled to get the timing of the episode down to the necessary 11 minutes. Prop, character, and background designers then create and clean up the designs. Following this, the animation process begins.* [25]* [26] The episodes' design and coloring are done in Burbank, California. Animation is handled overseas in South Korea, courtesy of Rough Draft Korea, a sister studio of Rough Draft Studios, Inc.* [26]* [27]
Ward described the show as a “dark comedy"; he said “dark comedies are my favorite, because I love that feeling—being happy and scared at the same time. It's my favorite way to feel—when I'm on the edge of my seat but I'm happy, that sense of conflicting emotions. And there's a lot of that in the show, I think.”* [32] Executive producer Fred Seibert compared the show's animation style to that of Felix the Cat and various Max Fleischer cartoons, but said that its world was also equally inspired by Dungeons and Dragons and video games.* [33] Ward intends the show's world to have a certain physical logic instead of“cartoony slapstick". As a result, even though magic exists in the story, the show's writers try to create an internal consistency in how the characters interact with the world.* [2]* [33] In the United States, the series is rated TV-PG,* [34] and Ward has said that he does not want to push the show's PG rating. He explained,“I’ve never really even thought about the rating. [...] we don’t like stuff that’s overly gross. We like cute stuff and nice things”.* [24]
Actually animating an episode takes about three to five months.* [25]* [26] During this time, retakes, music scoring, and sound design are completed.* [25] Once the animation is finished, it is sent back to America where it is reviewed; during this time, the staff looks for mistakes in the animation, or “things that didn’t animate the way [the staff] intended”.* [26] These issues are then fixed in Korea and the episode is finished.* [26] It takes about eight to nine months for a single episode to be created, although multiple episodes are worked on at the same time.* [20]* [25]* [26] According to former lead character designer Phil Rynda, most preproduction is done in Photoshop. The animation is then hand-drawn on paper, then digitally composited.* [28]* [29] However, there have been elements in episodes that were not hand-drawn, such as the second season entry“Guardians of Sunshine” , which was partially rendered in 3-D to emulate a video game,* [28] and the fifth season episode "A Glitch is a
The episode“All Your Fault”was the last regular episode of the series to feature a “directed by”credit.* [35] The subsequent episode,“Little Dude”, only credited Adam Muto as supervising Director and Nick Jennings as art director.* [36] Muto later explained that as of season five, no one was being credited solely as director.* [37] Both Muto and Nate Cash had, in previous episodes, been credited as creative directors, but according to Muto, the series decided to phase the title out in favor of the title “supervising director”.* [37] “Bad Little Boy”, the subsequent episode, however, still had a “directed by”credit.* [38] This is due to the fact that the episode was produced before“Little Dude”, but aired out of order.* [39] Similarly,“A Glitch is a Glitch”also featured a“directed by”credit, but this is due to the fact that the episode's director, OReilly, was a guest animator and director for the series.* [30] For the first half of the season, both Muto and Nate Cash took turns holding the supervising director credit on different episodes.* [36]* [40] Starting with “Shh!", however, Elizabeth Ito, a former storyboard artist for the show in season one, returned to the series and was also credited as supervising director in place of Muto.* [41] Muto in turn was promoted to supervising producer,* [42] and later co-executive producer.* [43] In an interview with Rolling Stone, Ward revealed that he stepped down as series showrunner sometime during the fifth season. The duties of showrunner then fell to Muto.* [44]
3.1. ADVENTURE TIME Cast The voice actors include voice acting veterans John DiMaggio (who portrays Jake the Dog), Tom Kenny (who plays the Ice King), and Hynden Walch (who voices Princess Bubblegum). In addition, Jeremy Shada portrays the voice of Finn the Human, and Olivia Olson portrays Marceline the Vampire Queen. Ward himself provides the voice for several minor characters, as well as Lumpy Space Princess. Former storyboard artist Niki Yang voices the sentient video game console BMO, as well as Jake's girlfriend, Lady Rainicorn.* [45] Polly Lou Livingston, a friend of Pendleton Ward's mother, Bettie Ward, plays the voice of the small elephant Tree Trunks.* [46]* [47] The Adventure Time cast records their lines together in group recordings as opposed to different recording sessions with each voice actor. This is to record more natural sounding dialogue among the characters. Hynden Walch compared these group recordings to“doing a play reading—a really, really out there play.”* [48] The series also regularly employs guest actors and actresses for minor and recurring characters.* [49] The crew cast people who they are interested in working with. In a , both Adam Muto and Kent Osborne noted that the Adventure Time crew has been attempting to cast the entire cast of both Star Trek: The Next Generation and The Office as various characters.* [50]
91 the Mushroom War, the origin of the series' principal antagonist the Lich, and the backstory of several of the series principal and recurring characters, such as the Ice King, Marceline, and Princess Bubblegum.* [54]* [55]* [56] Ward has itted that the details behind the Mushroom War and the series' dark mythology form “a story worthy telling”, but that he feels that the show will “save it and continue to dance around how heavy the back-history of Ooo is.”* [57]
Title sequence and music
Originally, when Ward was developing the title sequences, the rough draft version consisted of quick shots and vignettes that were “just sort of crazy, nonsensical”, and that alluded to the show's theme of quirky adventures.* [24] These shots included “the characters [...] just punching random ghosts and monsters, jumping through anything and everything [and] there were a bunch of atomic bombs at the end of it”.* [24] Ward later called this version “really silly”.* [24] After he sent the draft to the network, they did not enjoy it; they wanted something more graphical, like the intro to The Brady Bunch. Ward, inspired by the intros to The Simpsons and Peewee's Playhouse developed a new intro that would feature a panning sweep of the Land of Ooo, all the while, a synthesizer note would slowly rise until the main theme enters. Ward's draft for this idea was handed off to laySetting and mythology out animators and the sequence took shape. Notably, Pat McHale worked on the Ice King's shot and gave him a The show is set in a fictional continent called the “Land “high school book”smile, and the crew also struggled on of Ooo”,* [51] in a post-apocalyptic future about a thou- getting Marceline's shadows correct.* [24] After the pansand years after the“Great Mushroom War”, essentially ning sweep, the intro cuts to the theme song, with shots of a nuclear holocaust. According to Ward, the show takes Finn and Jake adventuring. For this part of the sequence, place “after the bombs have fallen and magic has come Ward was inspired by the “simple”aspects of the inback into the world”.* [52] Before the series was fully tro for the 2007 comedy film Superbad; when the theme developed, Ward's original intention was for the Land of mentions “Jake the Dog”and “Finn the Human”, the Ooo to simply be “magical”.

of other weird sounds.”* [24] As the show progressed, Basichis's friend Tim Kiefer ed the show as an additional composer.* [58] The two currently work together on the music.* [59] The series regularly features songs and musical numbers. Many of the cast —such as Shada, Kenny, and Olson—sing their own songs.* [48]* [60]* [61] Characters often express their emotions via song; examples of this include Marceline's “I'm Just Your Problem”, as well as Finn's“All Gummed Up Inside”.* [62]* [63] Although the background music for the series is composed by Basichis and Kiefer, the songs sung by characters are often written by the storyboard artists.* [64]* [65] For instance, the“Fry Song”was written by storyboard artist Rebecca Sugar, who storyboarded the song's parent episode "It Came from the Nightosphere". Reportedly, during the network pitch of the episode, Ward beatboxed and Sugar played ukelele and the two performed the “Fry Song” . Sugar later called the experience “super terrifying” , although the network did green-light the episode.* [65] Frederator, Seibert's production company, would often post various demos and full versions of songs sung by the characters.* [66]* [67] The show rarely refers to popular music, although Johnny Cash's 1969 single "A Boy Named Sue" was originally supposed to be featured in the third season episode “Dad's Dungeon”, the 1982 song "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" by Gary Portnoy —better known as the theme from the sitcom Cheers—played a pivotal role in the fifth season episode "Simon & Marcy", Tree Trunks sings a karaoke version of the song "(I'd Like to Get You on a) Slow Boat to China" in the fifth season episode “Bad Timing”, and the Frank Zappa album Apostrophe (') makes an appearance in the same episode.* [56]* [68]* [69]* [70] Furthermore, the promotional television ad for the sixth season premiere "Wake Up" and "Escape from the Citadel" featured the song "Cat's in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin.* [71]

3.2. BEN 10 (TV SERIES) • Benjamin Kirby “Ben”Tennyson:
101 One of the most feared aliens in the galaxy and archenemy of Ben. Vilgax is vicious, arrogant, and dangerously relentless, as he will stop at nothing to take the Omnitrix, which he wishes to use in order to create a transforming super army. In the past, Vilgax was an enemy of Grandpa Max. Vilgax was injured and remained in a regeneration chamber in the first season, but when completely healed, he was cybernetically enhanced, giving him colossal size, strength and durability that made him a match for every alien Ben could access at that time.
Ben is shown to be a cocky, immature boy, who is not above enjoying attention and enjoys making jokes even during fights. Though his immaturity makes a bad impression on some people, Ben is good-hearted, noble, and loyal, and his actions are motivated above all by a strong and sincere will to help and save others in need. He will stop at nothing to protect his family or anyone in danger whether human or alien. Ben proves to be resourceful, intelligent(Ben has been known to have Eidetic Memory), • Kevin Levin: shrewd and cunning when needed, which saved him from many situations, especially when the Omnitrix cannot activate or doesn't provide him with the alien he originally An 11-year-old delinquent sociopath with a mutant power that allows him to absorb energy.

A “not-quite-all-there”Max, under the effects of Zombozo's happiness-draining, mentions having been afraid of heights as a kid and then, when “enough was enough”, Max“climbed up to the top of the water tower”and“scared the fear”right out of him. It was shown that Max had a childhood friend called Donovan Grand Smith, who sums up Max:“growing up he always was the worrywart never the risk-taker”, like himself. Thirty years earlier, Donovan and Max had both been broke when Donovan offered Max a business opportunity which he turned down. Max later became a Plumber (Donovan thought Max was an actual plumber), establishing that Max's career as a Plumber lasted for about twenty-eight years before he retired (Max mentioned that after twenty-eight years on the job, he'd never figured out who was behind the Bermuda Triangle). It was revealed that Max had been an astronaut and would have been the first man on the moon, but left the program before the Apollo Moon mission. In his own words, Max said he just “took his step for mankind in other ways”. Main villains • Vilgax:
A scientist whose career was cut short when it was discovered that he was performing twisted genetic experiments on animals. He had hoped that his research would win him the Verties Award, which is an award in veterinary science. Because of the nature of his research, he lost the award to another doctor named Kelly. This drove him insane, and he dropped off the map for five years until he could perfect his research. After being defeated by Ben for the first time, Dr. Animo makes himself a personal nemesis to the boy, always hoping to defeat him and rule the world. His powers include controlling animals, reviving them and creating them. • Zs'Skayr: An Ectonurite who was originally one of Ben's forms. Zs'Skayr was sampling Flourana DNAs into the Omnitrix but ended up having his own DNA sampled along with it creating a clone of him and Ben's form “Ghostfreak”. His powers include invisibility, intangibility, possession, tentacles, energy beam projection, telekinesis and firing energy beams from his hands. • Charmcaster: A gifted human who was the teenage niece of Hex. She first appears to be loyal to her uncle, but was actually using him to get power for herself. She becomes Gwen's personal nemesis. Her powers include mana manipulation and spell-casting.

CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES
Themes
The Omnitrix (The Omnimatrix) Main article: List of Ben 10 aliens The Omnitrix (The prefix omni- means all, the trix means matrix) was originally created by a Galvan (Grey Matter's species) named Azmuth and Albedo. The Omnitrix was intended to allow beings to experience life as other species in order to bring understanding and foster peace in the universe. In the first form that Ben found, the Omnitrix looked like a wristwatch, primarily black and gray in color, with a gray (or black) dial in the middle (like a watch face) and had a green hourglass shape on it (actually the intergalactic “peace”symbol, also on Plumber's Badges and Azmuth's home world). However, many beings, like Vilgax have seen the Omnitrix' abilities as something that could be used as a powerful weapon.

However, this may possibly be a safety mechanism where the Omnitrix taps into an emergency reserve of energy, as the Omnitrix almost immediately timed out mere moments later. This feature was apparently switched off after the recalibration. The Omnitrix has been known to 'malfunction', such as unexpectedly timing out, recharging instantly or changing into a different alien than was selected; however, these might be safeguards programmed to protect against someone stealing it. It was confirmed by Dwayne McDuffie, the Omnitrix times out not to recharge its energy, but to prevent damage to Ben. Capture Mode

Films, Sequels, and Spin Offs
TV films Two Ben 10 films have been released at different times during 2007 and 2008. The first is a regular animated feature called Secret of the Omnitrix, in which the Omnitrix is accidentally set to self-destruct and Ben must track down its creator to stop it. A trailer of the film was released with the film Billy & Mandy: Wrath of the Spider Queen, and it aired August 10, 2007. Michael Ouweleen described the film's villain, which was actually Vilgax, as “like Darth Vader without the sense of humor.”* [6] A different version of Secrets of the Omnitrix, which introduced a different alien (Eye Guy) to the one in the original (Heatblast), aired on September 1, 2007. A third version (in which XLR8 was featured) aired on October 20, 2007. It was stated during the premiere of Alien Force that Secret of the Omnitrix was intended to be the chronological finale of Ben 10, even though it was broadcast long before the last episode, which was not canon. A CGI movie titled Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens was first released on March 11, 2012 in Asia* [7] and on March 23, 2012* [8]* [9] in the US. The movie focuses on a 10-yearold Ben returning to school after the summer.* [10]* [11] The movie was released in 2 different versions on Asia. The Filipino viewers will hear the Philippine winners while the rest of Southeast Asia will hear the Malaysian kids.* [12]

It has since been premiered in Canada, on Teletoon.* [13] A video game of the show is now out for the Nintendo DS, Wii, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable.* [14] Another sequel series, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, premiered on April 23, 2010 and takes place 3–4 weeks after the finale of Alien Force.* [15]

3.3. BEN 10: ALIEN FORCE The recalibrated Omnitrix does not do this; instead, it simply reverts the transformation without a warning given because this feature was accidentally switched off when the Omnitrix recalibrated. In “War of the Worlds Part 2”, the Omnitrix had reset, also turning the time out warning function back on. The hourglass, when recharging, also flashes red instead of remaining a solid red as it had when the Omnitrix was in its original configuration. In “Ben 10: Alien Force The Video Game”, when the Omnitrix was out of power it beeped differently from in the original series, from “The Secret of Chromastone” and so on, the Omnitrix flashes green instead of red when signaling a time out. Capture Mode When a new DNA sample has been unlocked from the Codon Stream for future use (it identifies the DNA against the database on Primus, then unlocks that code on the Omnitrix), or when the Omnitrix actually captures new DNA that is not already present in the Codon Stream. It can also reclaim lost alien forms that may have escaped the Omnitrix. Absorbing lost alien forms can be done in two ways: when transformed into an alien, the Omnitrix flashes a yellow light and absorbs the alien; or when the Omnitrix is inactive, it sends some radar waves and then reabsorbs the alien. Unlike in the original series, if an alien touches the Omnitrix in Ben 10: Alien Force it will not be captured because it doesn't work the same way after it recalibrated. Self-Destruction Mode It was used when Ben wanted to take back the Omnitrix from Vilgax, but it didn't work; despite that the S.D.M was used and successfully triggered in, it only destroyed the Omnitrix rather than the universe, though this is because it only charged for 30 seconds, it might because the S.D.M was intentional.

Kirk used to activate the Enterprise's one minute selfdestruct sequence (000 destruct-0). Other features • It functions as a GPS;

This simply unlocks the DNA in the Codon Stream, although the Omnitrix also has the capability to capture new DNA; • The Omnitrix can show a database image of all aliens available at the time, or show a database image of aliens that escaped the Omnitrix. The images of the aliens in the Omnitrix are shown in green, while the escaped ones are shown in black; • There is a particular method used to safely remove the Omnitrix, that could be how he removed it between the two series. It involves a code that the wearer of the Omnitrix uses with voice activation (Decouple Omnitrix Command Code: 000 Release Coupling 0). Ben may have known this code as he may have ed it if he used the code to take off the Omnitrix after he was done with it at the end of Ben 10; • When suffering from electromagnetic interference, the Omnitrix can cause unintentional transformations, and the Omnitrix will be unable to deactivate until the source of the interference is gone. This is how the Tiffin was unintentionally sending signals that caused the Omnitrix to malfunction, turning Ben into Rath. It also can work in reverse, rapidly changing the from one form to another until it times out. This happened in “Secrets"; • When in danger, Primus can send a distress call to the Omnitrix, which teleports itself to Primus with its host in order to protect the planet; • As revealed in“Vengeance of Vilgax”, if the Omnitrix is hacked, some of the stored species may escape the Codon Stream. The escaped aliens are practically mindless and function on instinct, roaming with no stable conscience or fixed motives.

You killed my father. Prepare to die!" similar to Inigo Montoya in Princess Bride. Also this episode has a similarity to the Batman Beyond episode“Rebirth Part 1”. It is alike in many ways: • The father of one of the main characters is killed by a villain. • A possession wanted by that villain is in a photo frame with a picture of the boy and his dad. • Both of the boys have black hair. • When Kevin reveals that he has a home, Ben says that he would not be surprised if Kevin lived in some“underground cave”- this might be a reference to the Batcave.

However, in the premiere episode,“Fame”, a young fan named Jimmy Jones deduces Ben's secret identity and reveals it to the world. Ben becomes an overnight celebrity, hailed by kids as a hero but distrusted by most adults as a possible threat. With Gwen, Kevin, Julie, and Grandpa Max still at his side, Ben continues to battle alien threats to the galaxy, including finding five aliens that were attacked and kidnapped by an Osmosian villain named Aggregor. Their names were Bivalvan, Galapegus, P'andor, Andreas, and Ra'ad. After Aggregor captured and fused with all five aliens, he began searching for the Map of Infinity to go to the Forge of Creation and absorb the vastly limitless, infinite God/cosmic-like powers of Celestialsapiens. Later, Kevin is forced to absorb energy from the Ultimatrix and goes insane with tremendous energy and power, but is shown that he does still have a good human heart, and still does care, and that he has not gone completely evil. Kevin is eventually returned to normal and Aggregor's actions are reversed.* [2]

At the time he believed that too many futuristic themes appeared in media and literature, so he wished to create a series that would “get back to nature”.* [2] Camp Lazlo originated from a camp-related children's book series concept by Murray that, according to him, “outgrew its medium”. As Murray developed the concept, he felt that his “lunatic characters wanted to live”and decided that a simple story could not sufficiently house his characters. Murray desired to create a series about a group of children without“high tech stimulus”and“in nature”.* [3] Linda Simensky, who had previously worked with Murray on Rocko, had since moved to Cartoon Network and called Murray to solicit a new series. After an initial hesitation, Murray sent Simensky* [4] the idea for a show with a working title of 3 Beans. Simensky“thought it sounded too much like a salad”, so Murray changed the name to Camp Lazlo. When approval was given, Murray decided to produce the show at Cartoon Network Studios and brought Mark O'Hare on as co-producer.* [5]

Crew of Rocko's Modern Life, such as Robert Scull or Peter Burns, have worked on this show.* [2] For season one, Murray hired among others comedy writer Martin Olson, who had collaborated with Murray on some of the most successful stories for Rocko's Modern Life. Murray asked Tom Kenny to voice characters because Murray felt that Kenny “adds writing to his roles” and “brings so much.”Murray looked for “comedic timing”in his voice actors, and therefore he used many stand-up comics and sketch actors.* [2]
The music score for the show was composed by Andy Paley, and features original camp songs, bluegrass and cowboy swing. Joe Murray explained that the team often used“strange instruments”such as washboards, and the musical saw.* [2] In addition to Paley's music score, According to Murray, the“green light”to start Lazlo had the show also utilized many tracks from the Associated been initially given and later revoked, leaving Murray and Production Music library.

The setting of the show was designed to deliberately bring a nostalgic feeling of childhood summer camps and “evoke a comfortable place to visit.”The colors Murray asked many staff who participated in instill the feeling of summer camp, rather than basing

CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES
color schemes on real-life colors; Murray and Sue Mondt, the art director, chose the colors. In Camp Lazlo, the sky can be yellow, and trees are not always green and brown. For the architecture and objects, books with cabins, camps and Native American artifacts were consulted. Ultimately, Murray wanted to create a place where nature prevails, and the hustle and bustle of real-life is left behind, with no technology to distract from the impressions of camp life. He describes the camp as having a “retro”feel. Murray likes 1950s and early 1960s designs of objects like advertising art, lamps, and old vacation brochures, and he said that the “brushy quality that developed at that time”heavily influenced the setting.* [2] The exact geographical locations of these settings is unknown. • Camp Kidney, set in the Pimpleback Mountains next to Leakey Lake, is the camp where most of the show takes place. This is a summer camp attended by a group of boy scout-like campers called The Bean Scouts. In keeping the theme of the name of the camp, the campers are allowed to name their cabins after various types of beans: Jelly Cabin, Pinto Cabin, Fava Cabin, and so on. The camp is known for a low standard of quality, and has been threatened with closure more than once. The camp is led by Scoutmaster Lumpus, with most of the istrative details assigned to his assistant, Mr. Slinkman. A full staff complements the camp, including a nurse and a chef. • Acorn Flats is across the lake from Camp Kidney, attended by girls of similar age, called the Squirrel Scouts. Acorn Flats has higher quality facilities than Camp Kidney, a point of contention between the two respective camps, with Acorn Flats being the more dominant in the rivalry. The leader of the Squirrel Scouts is Jane Doe, and her assistant, Ms. Rubella Mucus. Both Camp Kidney and Acorn Flats are part a larger hierarchical organization, under the direct command of Commander Hoo-ha, with “The Big Bean”as the head of all scout chapters, which includes Beans and Squirrels and (possibly) Tomato Scouts.

3.5.6 Reception Ray Richmond of The Hollywood Reporter posted his review of the series on 7 July 2005. Richmond said that his child enjoyed the show but did not ask to see it again. Richmond said that the show forms “plenty lively and a nice, safe way for a child viewer to spend a half-hour.”Richmond said that the show has too much “self-consciously precious”humor; the reviewer said that the trait may not factor for children and described children as “demanding and non-discriminating at the same time.”* [12] Ginia Bellafante of The New York Times said that if she became “socio-analytical about the Lazlo enterprise,” Camp Kidney appears to be a stand-in for “our culture of obsessive parenting.”* [13] Kathie Huddleston, a reporter for the Science Fiction Weekly, created a favorable review of Camp Lazlo.* [14] The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reviewed the series and gave it an “A.”* [15] Joly Herman of Common Sense Media posted a review of Camp Lazlo on Go.com. Herman describes the humor used in the Camp Lazlo as making it an “unpredictable show for younger viewers.”Herman gave the show two stars out of five.* [16] Awards and nominations

The game is published by Crave Entertainment and developed by Collision Studios. The player plays as the three main characters (Lazlo, Clam and Raj) to compete in a series of game challenges and earn merit badges in the Leaky Lake Games event. That will allow them to compete against the Squirrel Scouts in a final tournament. In the game, the player meets characters, such as Scoutmaster Lumpus, Slinkman, Edward, and many others to receive hints and directions in achieving goals in the game. They trigger some of the mini-games, which are all timed. The game received generally mixed reviews.* [22]

Murray did not want for the series to be used in Happy Meals; the only action he could take was refusing to appear in the television commercials. Murray stated on his website that he will not explain his opposition to Happy Meals due to his respect for the effort placed by Cartoon Network “marketing people.”Murray stated that his opinions are his alone and do not reflect the opinions of Cartoon Network. He said that he appreciates Cartoon Network's “campaign for healthier eating habits for kids.”“C”Raggio, a character designer, appeared in the commercials instead.* [23]* [24]

3.6 Cartoonstitute The Cartoonstitute was a planned Cartoon Network project created by Cartoon Network's executive Rob Sorcher that would have been a showcase for animated shorts created without the interference of network executives and focus testing. It was headed by Craig McCracken (creator of The Powerpuff Girls, and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends) and Rob Renzetti (creator of My Life as a Teenage Robot).* [1]* [2] 39 shorts for the project were in development at Cartoon Network Studios, but only 14 of these were completed. Eventually, balancing 5 shows and adding another proved difficult and the project was scrapped.* [3] Of the shorts which were made, only Regular Show and Uncle Grandpa have been greenlit to become animated series (the latter was initially greenlit as Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, before becoming a series of its own).* [4] On May 7, 2010, Cartoon Network ed nearly all of the shorts to their website. The only shorts not ed were Maruined, 3 Dog Band, and Joey to the World.* [5]

3.7 Chowder (TV series) Chowder is an American animated television series created by C.H. Greenblatt for Cartoon Network. The series follows an aspiring young chef named Chowder and his day-to-day adventures as an apprentice in Mung Daal's catering company. Although he means well, Chowder often finds himself in predicaments due to his perpetual appetite and his nature as a scatterbrain. He is also pestered by Panini, the apprentice of Mung's rival Endive, who wants Chowder to be her“boyfriend”, which he abhors. The series is animated with both traditional animation as well as short stop motion puppet sequences that are intercut into the episodes, and that run over the end credits. Chowder premiered on November 2, 2007, and ran for three seasons with 49 total episodes. It garnered one Primetime Emmy Award win, six Annie Award nominations, and two additional Emmy Award nominations during its run. The series finale, “Chowder Grows Up”, aired on August 7, 2010, and features Logan Grove as the voice of Chowder.
The series was first announced on April 3, 2008, at Cartoon Network's annual upfront in New York City. The project was to be similar to The Cartoon Cartoon Show (also known as the What a Cartoon! Show) which aired on the network more than a decade earlier and gave birth to some of the channel's first animated series, such as Dexter's Laboratory and Cow and Chicken. The Cartoonstitute was to establish a think tank and create an en- 3.7.1 Characters vironment in which animators can create characters and stories. A section of Cartoon Network Studios in Bur- Main characters bank, California, was set aside exclusively for the project. • Chowder (voiced by Nicky Jones): A 10-year-old The “Cartoonstitute”name was imagined by Lauren Faust, the wife of Craig McCracken, and one of the later chubby purple cat—bear—rabbit* [1] who serves as * creators of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

3.7. CHOWDER (TV SERIES) lives with Mung Daal and his wife, Truffles, in a room at the top of the catering business. Chowder wants to become a great chef, but he is very impulsive and scatterbrained and often gives in to his urges. He is always hungry and eats anything, even a customer's order. Chowder can also regurgitate objects, and he is used as a storage container by the other characters. According to Greenblatt, he is a composite of a cat, a bear and a rabbit, and his species was verified in at least one episode.* [2] C.H. Greenblatt voiced his adult self in the last episode. • Mung Daal (voiced by Dwight Schultz): The elderly short tempered chef who runs the catering company at which Chowder works.* [3] Although his exact age has not been stated, he has mentioned that he has cooked for at least 386 years,* [4] and he celebrated 450 years of marriage to Truffles (see below).* [5] He is a light blue-colored humanoid of indeterminate species. Mung is named after the Indian dish mung daal; Greenblatt had originally planned to give Mung an Indian accent, but later decided against it.* [6] • Shnitzel (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson in “The Froggy Apple Crumple Thumpkin”, and John DiMaggio afterward): A taupe rock monster and professional chef who works at Mung Daal's Catering Company. His vocabulary consists almost entirely of “Radda”while it translated “Okay”, although he sometimes says other simple words.* [7] He talks in the episode“The Trouble with Truffles” because he finally gets calm enough. Shnitzel is the "straight man" to the other more excitable characters and is frequently agitated. He gets stuck with menial labor or cleanup duty, as well as the heavy lifting because he is extremely strong. Although usually angered by Chowder's antics, Shnitzel really has a soft spot for Chowder, as he cries when it was thought that Chowder has vanished forever.* [7]* [8] Kevin Michael Richardson voiced Shnitzel for the debut episode “The Froggy Apple Crumple Thumpkin” and was replaced at the last moment by DiMaggio due to Richardson being busy with other projects at the time.* [7]
117 ally in Chowder in a manner similar to how Oscar the Grouch appears in Sesame Street.* [10]* [11] • Gazpacho (voiced by Dana Snyder): A woolly mammoth storekeeper who sells strange produce and ingredients at the farmer's market. He does his best to offer advice to Chowder when needed. He lives with his overbearing mother, who never appears on screen, but is present at the end of episode “Gazpacho!". In “The Spookiest House in Marzipan”it is hinted at that Gazpacho has no mother, and that he actually suffers with dissociative identity disorder, but creator Greenblatt says this was merely to “pay homage to Psycho". Gazpacho shows no interest in moving out and improving his own life. Gazpacho's worst enemies are ninjas. Greenblatt named him after the cold soup gazpacho; Greenblatt said that he did not know why, but the name suited the character immediately.* [6] • Panini (voiced by Liliana Mumy): A 10-year-old pink Cabbit who has a crush on Chowder and reminds him at every opportunity. Chowder does not return the feelings and responds with“I'm not your boyfriend!" whenever she greets him. Panini is an apprentice to Ms. Endive, and is also possessive of Chowder. Panini gets jealous when she sees Chowder with another girl. Her original character concept had her bully Chowder in a manner described by Greenblatt as similar to Angelica Pickles from Rugrats.* [12] Greenblatt removed the pointy ears since he felt this did not fit in with the rounded shapes in Chowder. Greenblatt did not like characters similar to Angelica and believed that he needed to make Panini “cuter and sweeter”.* [12] Greenblatt said that the details of Panini formed when the creator decided that Panini had a crush on Chowder; since Chowder is not old enough to fall in love with females, according to Greenblatt this aspect would frustrate Chowder “in a more fun way”.* [12] In the last episode, it is shown that Chowder finally returned Panini's feelings and they are married with many kids and was voiced by Grey DeLisle. Panini's name literally means“sandwiches”in Italian, while her former name, Borlotti, is a type of beans.
• Truffles (voiced by Tara Strong): A mushroom pixie/fairy and Mung Daal's wife who handles the Recurring characters business side of Mung's catering business. She is practical but has a foul temper and easily loses pa• Ms. Endive (voiced by Mindy Sterling): A smart obese female chef who teaches cooking to Panini tience with her husband, his staff, and their cuswith strict discipline. She's also occasionally portomers. Greenblatt said that he based Truffles on his trayed as the show's main antagonist or villain. She mother.* [9] Greenblatt said that he initially found difficulty in working on any story with Truffles since is usually depicted as gargantuan in size. This is the character could be“so abrasive”that the Chowshown in the episode “The Apprentice Games” der staff had to be “a little more sensitive about where Mung Daal and Chowder enter the games finding her softer side.”Greenblatt said that the by riding on Endive's posterior.

CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES despises boys and boyfriends because her fiancé did not show up on their wedding day. Ms. Endive is first seen in the second episode with Panini,“Chowder's Girlfriend”. The creator describes her as Martha Stewart with Oompa-Loompa colors.* [13] Greenblatt chose to name her after the endive since endive is bitter and Belgian endive is fancy; hence the character is bitter and fancy.* [6] Endive's character stayed constant throughout the initial development. The long nose, which changed from a rectangular shape to a triangle shape for the final version, represents how Endive looks down at other characters. It was revealed in later episodes that Ms. Endive is in love with Shnitzel. Greenblatt said that he felt that her evolution throughout the series was fun to observe, especially when William Reiss wrote plots involving Endive.* [12]
• Kiwi (voiced by C.H. Greenblatt) is a photorealistic pink creature who always gives advice to Chowder and his friends. His name is only pronounced in the episode “Brain Grub”, where it is known that after Chowder alters the animated universe, Kiwi is reduced to selling used cars. • Kimchi (voiced by C.H. Greenblatt): Chowder's pet, who lives in a cage next to his bed. Kimchi is an anthropomorphic flatus (due to the unpleasant odor of kimchi). He likes things with odors unpleasant for the other characters, and he “talks”by making flatulent sounds. Kimchi was first seen in the episode “The Froggy Apple Crumple Thumpkin” . Kimchi is usually shown with a blank personality but in “Stinky Love”it is shown that he has an opinion.* [14]
to Paté and Panini's best friend, Ceviche was introduced in the episode “The Apprentice Games”. He practices aerobic-style dancing and is very charitable and kind to others. Because of his irable attitude and amazing talents (as well as good looks, as it was shown on one episode that he has a wellsculpted body) he is well-liked. He is good friends with Panini and will make unwanted advances upon her, which are either refused or unnoticed. Ceviche is also a close friend to Chowder. He has a crush on Panini. He speaks in a monotonous voice and serves as deadpan humor for the show. • Chestnut (originally voiced by Tone Lōc, then John DiMaggio): Like the food, Chestnut is small and tough. He is a tiny, blue horned devil-like creature with a deep, gravelly voice and, to many character's surprise, is physically very strong. Because of his size, he uses everyday objects as other things (e.g. using a briefcase for a hydrofoil, or a hat as a vacation home). He sings small songs to himself, usually consisting of his catchphrase of “Dinka loo dinka lee.”He is teacher of the BLTs, a parody of the SATs. He always refers to himself in the third person when speaking. • Reuben (voiced by Paul Reubens): A pig who is a conman and steals from others. He was Mung's “Inspector”when he needed to renew his cooking license but he just used that to fail Mung and Endive. He later made the group, minus Truffles, use his boat for their fishing trip but just spent the trip annoying Mung and keeping the other engers on board so he can get more money out of them. At the end of the episode, it turned out that the ship was stolen and Reuben abandoned ship when the real owners came and left the group to be arrested.
• Gorgonzola (voiced by Will Shadley): A young green rat apprentice candle holder with a surly at• Mr. Fugu (voiced by Bob Joles): A floating baltitude.

3.7.3
Development
119 Cartoon Network's VOD website also within the United States.* [16]* [19] One of the unusual design features of the show is the patterns used on the clothing or players. The patterns are developed as a full-screen image and then sent to the production house, where the characters are modified to fill the patterns in over the character clothing.* [14]* [16]* [20] Using this technique, when a character moves, their patterns do not follow, but display as a “static”background. A similar technique was used in the Monkey Island video game series (particularly for the Stan), the Nickelodeon series The Off-Beats, and the Mr. Bean animated series.* [17] The show is also known for the very wide variety of media used in various episodes. These include animation using watercolors and ink-and-paint in addition to the cartoon's classic pattern style. It also uses stop motion animation with real food, action figures and clay; live-action scenes with the voice actors of the show and puppets; both marionette and hand-controlled. This was also sometimes used in Courage the Cowardly Dog. It boasts one of the most diverse varieties of mediums used in any single series.
3.7.5 Cancellation The puppet versions of the characters Chowder (a Hand-Rod puppet) and Mung Daal
During his time working on Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants, Greenblatt had been sketching various characters for his own animation series concept.* [14] Greenblatt originally based the premise on the idea of the sorcerer's apprentice style of story, such as The Sword in the Stone. The plot devices were modified so that the story revolves around a master chef who teaches his young apprentice how to cook. Chowder himself was developed with no specific species in mind, but rather with the intentions of invoking the image of a child's soft squeeze toy.* [16] Some of the inspiration comes from Dr. Seuss, with other inspiration from Saturday morning cartoons.* [16]* [17] Greenblatt pitched the concept to Cartoon Network, and two years later the series was approved with another year for production before the pilot episode aired. Greenblatt estimates he spent about seven years working on Chowder before the show made it to air in 2007.* [14]
3.7.4
Production and format
Episodes are produced in seasons which consist of twenty 24-minute episodes. Each episode is produced with a 30-second puppet sequence that is meant to run over the ending credits.* [18] Episodes can be purchased from the iTunes Store in the United States which are delivered with the sequences as are episodes which are available on
Chowder was cancelled by Cartoon Network in August 2010. C.H. Greenblatt noted this on his blog, saying: “I didn't really think there'd be this many upsides to having a show officially cancelled by a network, but I'm feeling happier than I've been in a long time. Since we've only got post-production, my schedule finally eases up. I haven't had a break like this in a long, long time... Chowder has opened up a lot of awesome possibilities for me, and creatively I'm feeling more inspired than ever.”* [21] C.H. Greenblatt also noted that many of the staff signed on to a new project at Disney. This is a reference to the Disney Channel animated series Fish Hooks, which Greenblatt himself also works on as an episode director.
3.7.6 Reception Some of the reviews were positive,* [22]* [23]* [24] two raising questions as to whether Chowder can entertain with its occasional bathroom style humor,* [25] or sometimes recycled material.* [26] Barry Garron of The Hollywood Reporter thinks that the show will appeal to both children and adults alike, using exotic artwork, unusual settings, and a zany cast of characters.* [22] On Toon Zone, Ed Liu expands on the animation and crazy antics of the characters, pointing that the humor of the show is kid-friendly without being juvenile. Liu reminds his readers that Chowder is still in its early phases, and with just a little more time to develop, he feels that the show will be successful.* [23]

3.9 Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends (or simply Foster's for short) is an American animated television series created and produced at Cartoon Network Studios* [2] by animator Craig McCracken (creator of The Powerpuff Girls and Wander Over Yonder). It first premiered on Cartoon Network on August 13, 2004, at 7:30 pm E/P as a 90-minute television movie, which led to a series of half-hour episodes. The series aired on Cartoon Network and its affiliates worldwide, except in Canada where it aired on English and Francophone Teletoon networks. The show finished its run on May 3, 2009 with a total of six seasons and seventy-nine episodes.
3.9.1
Overview
The series is set in a world where childhood imaginary friends coexist with humans and is set in an orphanage designed for outgrown or abandoned imaginary friends in which they may reside until adoption by another child. In the Foster's universe, imaginary friends take physical form and become real as soon as children think them up. Once the children outgrow them, the friends move to Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, where they stay until other children come to adopt them. The home is run by the elderly Madame Foster, its lovable, elderly founder; her imaginary friend Mr. Herriman, the strict rule-abider and business manager; and her granddaughter Frankie, who handles day-to-day operations. After being forced to abandon his imaginary friend Bloo, a young boy named Mac bargains with the caretakers and employees working at Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends; that they guard Bloo from adoption so long as
Main characters • Mac (voiced by Sean Marquette) – A bright, creative, happy-go-lucky, sensitive and somewhat shy 8-year-old boy and Bloo's creator and best friend who visits Foster's every day. Mac is often the voice of reason among his friends (especially Bloo) when they're making decisions. However, his good nature tends to make him somewhat naive. He is very attached to Bloo and it is shown in episodes such as “House of Bloos”and“Duchess of Wails”that his biggest fear is never seeing him again because Bloo is what keeps him happy and cheerful and vice versa. Mac becomes extremely high and hyperactive to the point of a rabid mania when he eats sugar. Once in this state, he will become impossible to control, will often become obsessed with seeking any other source of sugar, and if he gets hyperactive enough, will run around naked or in his underwear. He also has a huge crush on Frankie. Mac and Bloo are the two main protagonists of the series. • Bloo (voiced by Keith Ferguson) – Mac's 5-yearold imaginary friend and best friend who resembles a simple, domed cylinder. Bloo is often very selfcentered, egotistic, narcissistic and occasionally sociopathic as well as having a knack for getting in trouble. Despite all this, he still has a good heart and apologizes for his actions. Bloo loves paddleballs even though he cannot make the ball hit the paddle (though the only time he was able to do it was in the episode “Let Your Hare Down”). His full name is “Blooregard Q. Kazoo”. He became increasingly mischievous over the run of the series and can be a show-off. He is the only character to appear in every episode of the series. Note: Bloo was mentioned by Eric Cartman in the South Park trilogy episode "Imagination Land" as well as making a cameo appearience briefly. Mac and Bloo also made a cameo appearance in The Powerpuff Girls Series Finale: “The Powerpuff Girls Rule!" • Wilt (voiced by Phil LaMarr) – A very tall, friendly, caring, kind, helpful, red-colored disabled friend with only a right arm, and crooked left eye-stalk (which he describes as “wonky”). However, in “Good Wilt Hunting”, it is discovered that he was not always this way; he was injured in a fateful accident during a basketball game, leaving his left arm crushed (and fell off sometime before or after he got
3.9. FOSTER'S HOME FOR IMAGINARY FRIENDS to Foster's) and his eye injured. Wilt exhibits consummate good sportsmanship, which he applies to every part of life he can. He is considered the nicest person at Foster's and is known for being excessively polite and apologetic, saying“I'm sorry”in almost every sentence. Wilt has a big heart, is frequently cool and collected, and, only on very rare occasions shows anger at all. His name is an homage to NBA star Wilt Chamberlain. Wilt was shown to be created by Jordan Michaels, a basketball star (and a homage to Michael Jordan). His over-sized basketball shoes always squeak against the floor/ground, no matter what surface he is walking on. According to the episode “Room with a Feud”, between him, Coco and Eduardo, he has been in the house for the longest time. • Eduardo (voiced by Tom Kenny) – A Spanish/Latino guardian friend. Eduardo is big, hairy and violet-purple, has horns, a snout, a pointy demonlike tail and large teeth. Despite his large size, overwhelming strength, and menacing demeanor, Eduardo is docile, timid, lacks confidence and is very comionate who has a toddler-like nature, crying at minor negative occurrences, and being scared of almost everything. However, he can be ferocious if angered or in the circumstance that danger befalls his friends. Eduardo has a fondness for potatoes, dogs, and his cuddly toys. His creator, Nina Valerosa, is now a police officer. • Coco (voiced by Candi Milo) – A bird-airplanepalm tree friend who can only say (or write) her name at various speeds and different emphases. A talent unique to her is her ability to lay colorful, plastic eggs containing a plethora of objects from customized baseball cards to money, at will. Mac, Bloo, Eduardo, Frankie, Wilt, and others usually understand her when she speaks, and often translate for her (though Wilt once itted that he has no idea what she attempts to convey). Despite her helter-skelter appearance and quirky behavior, she can demonstrate a perceived intelligence, principle and kindness. No one knows who her creator is as she was found on a South Pacific island by two scientists named Adam and Douglas, in reference to the late writer, Douglas Adams. • Frankie (voiced by Grey DeLisle) – Madame Foster's 22-year-old redheaded granddaughter and Mac's romantic interest, addressed as “Miss s”by Mr. Herriman. Her parents are never seen or mentioned in the series. Frankie is the caregiver at Foster's and helps keep everything in order. In spite of Mr. Herriman's fussiness and fixation with rules and cleanliness, having to take care of everyone and everything in the house, and Bloo's mischief-making (all of which cause her tremendous stress and a bad temper), she is usually very friendly,
123 out-going and easy-going. According to her driver's license in “Bus the Two of Us”, she was born on July 25, 1984. She once made a cameo appearance in the The Powerpuff Girls Series Finale:“The Powerpuff Girls Rule!".
• Mr. Herriman (voiced by Tom Kane) – A gray and white elderly anthropomorphic lop ear rabbit friend imagined by Madame Foster who speaks with a British accent. He wears a tailcoat, white gloves and a top hat, as well as a monocle over his left eye (though it is sometimes seen over his right eye). He is in charge of the house (the “President”of Foster's) and is extremely strict about the house rules (or just politeness and order in general), but he is also seen to put the rules before common sense, as seen in "Destination: Imagination" when he sticks to the rule written on the chained up toy box of never letting the imaginary friend who is trapped in there out despite what would happen to him if he didn't. He is often found punishing Bloo for his various misdemeanors. It was revealed in “Busted”that the reason Mr. Herriman is so hard on Bloo is because he feels that, given that he is allowed to stay at Foster's even though he still has an owner, he has already broken one of the main house rules. He is extremely fond of his creator Madame Foster, harboring great respect and loyalty to her, even at her most prominent levels of unabashed pep and energy. Mr. Herriman may be considered unruly Madame Foster's superego. On the other hand, Herriman has a love/hate relationship with Frankie, usually working with her to preserve order at Foster's, yet just as often scolding her for what he perceives (often inaccurately) as“laziness”and“immaturity”from her part (usually stemming from the fact that the amount of work she has to do is too much for her to get all of it done in certain time frames). However, at the end of the 90-minute special “Destination: Imagination”, Herriman its that he was wrong and finally comes to respect and appreciate Frankie. He also has fear of dogs (due to the fact that dogs are natural predators of rabbits) and is easily scared out of his wits whenever he comes across a dog as shown in the episodes“Who Let the Dogs In?", and“Setting a President”.
• Madame Foster (voiced by Candi Milo) – The founder of Foster's and the maternal grandmother of Frankie. Madame Foster is elderly but has childlike boundless energy and enjoys life to its fullest. Her imaginary friend is Mr. Herriman, whom she imagined when she was a child and never gave up. Like Bloo, Madame Foster occasionally becomes hyperactive and mischievous. However, there are times she's shown to be the wisdom of the house.

Plot
Five years prior to the series, a massive explosion released high concentrations of nanites into the atmosphere, infecting almost every living thing on Earth. These nanites may randomly activate inside their hosts, mutating the subject into a monster known as an E.V.O. (short for "Exponentially Variegated Organism”). Though some E.V.O.s retain human-level sanity, intelligence, and memory and are in full control of their special E.V.O. abilities: most go violently berserk and cause widespread chaos and destruction. An international organization known as Providence exists to combat the E.V.O. threat.

3.11 The Life and Times of Juniper Lee The Life and Times of Juniper Lee is an American animated television series, created by former MTV reality star Judd Winick and produced by Cartoon Network Studios. It premiered on Cartoon Network on May 30, 2005, and ended its run on April 9, 2007. The show has reruns but only on Cartoon Network Asia.
3.11.1
Premise
The series centers on the life of a preteen girl, named Juniper Lee, who lives in Orchid Bay City. Based on Winick's adopted hometown of San Francisco, California, the city is a hub for magical activity and is filled with various monsters and demons, both good and evil. The magic and human worlds have been separated by a magical barrier, known as“The Veil,”which prevents ordinary humans from seeing any magic-related events or the creatures related to them. Juniper has recently been made the new Te Xuan Ze, the protector and the keeper of the balance between the human and magic worlds. To accomplish her task, she has been magically enhanced, making her far stronger and faster than ordinary humans. She can also use various kinds of magic to assist her. Maintaining the balance often interferes with her personal life, including her schoolwork and her social life, but she always manages to keep everything flowing. The show has a fairly campy and lighthearted take on the genre, often makes fun of itself, and rarely seems to take itself seriously.
129 Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets The Simpsons. That's the simplest way to put it. At the end of the day, it's about a little girl who fights monsters. There's a rather massive backstory to the whole thing, which really provides a spine to build from. I've only tapped into it a little in the show, but for me, knowing it's there is important. The show needs a spine, and needs a place to work from...* [2]
3.11.3 Main characters Juniper “June”Lee Juniper Lee (voiced by Lara Jill Miller) is the main character of the series. This eleven-year-old ChineseAmerican short tempered girl lives in Orchid Bay City, and is the current Te Xuan Ze. Juniper is relatively uneducated in the world of magic, mostly relying on brute force, a real talent for insults, and the advice of her grandmother, Ah-Mah, and her enchanted dog, Monroe, to defeat her foes. She has long black hair, and after she inherits the powers of the Te Xuan Ze, a lock of hair on the left side changes to pure white from root to end (Juniper's grandmother Jasmine, the former Te Xuan Ze, has the same stripe in her hair) and Juniper later dyes this reddish-pink. The juniper flower symbolizes protection, referring to Juniper's role as the Te Xuan Ze, protecting others. She wishes to go to astronaut camp, but cannot because she can't leave Orchid Bay City while she is the Te Xuan Ze until another member of her family is chosen. She's also hoping for a breathtaking romance with her close friend Marcus Conner. Jasmine Lee
Jasmine Lee, or “Ah-Mah”(Chinese: 阿嬤; pinyin: Āmā; literally: “grandma”, voiced by Amy Hill) as Juniper calls her, is Juniper's grandmother, and the previous Te Xuan Ze. Many in the magical world consider her to be the greatest Te Xuan Ze ever. Calm and deliberate in most respects but crude and tough when she needs to be, the 69-year-old gives June advice on dealing with the magical community and their expectations of her, and assists her when she is in serious trouble. As of the “Monster Con”episode, Ah-Mah was shown to 3.11.2 Inspiration still possess a significant amount of magically-enhanced speed and strength, though her stamina and durability are Winick has stated that Juniper Lee was inspired by both severely diminished (in comparison to her granddaughThe Simpsons and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Juniper does ter who has superhuman strength) to the point of being follow in the footsteps of Buffy, as stated in the quote unable to stand unassisted after two to three minutes of below: combat (this is because of her old age). This s her assertion in the first episode - that it was no longer her Interviewer: We’ve touched on just about place to act as Te Xuan Ze - and is pragmatic, in the sense everything else, so hit us with the high concept. that it prevents June from shirking her responsibilities. In Sum up the show for us…Judd: I’m sound“Little Big Mah”, she claims that she knows about 26 difing like a broken record, but it's kind of like ferent styles of hand-to-hand combat, and that she hasn't
130 been to China for 40 years (as Roxanne: “I haven't been to China in 40 years! Uh, I mean weeks. For weeks.”). Younger Jasmine is depicted with a purple streak in her hair, instead of the usual magenta Te Xuan Ze streak. Ray Ray Lee Ray Ray Lee (voiced by Kath Soucie) is Juniper's hyperactive eight-year-old dimwitted brother. Like Juniper, Ray Ray can see through the magic barrier, though this is not a naturally-occurring ability. In the episodes after “Star Quality”, he is occasionally seen watching monster TV. When Juniper first gained her powers, a group of demons attempted to drain her powers. Ray Ray unwittingly intervened, causing some of her powers to transfer to him, as seen in“Adventures in Babysitting”. Whether or not he'll gain other powers similar to hers remains to be seen, as Ah-Mah has implied that he may over time. He is hyperactive and careless, has crazy hair, and often gets himself into trouble when dealing with the magic world. Ray Ray is often over-eager in regards to the magic world, finding every single event involving it, no matter how bad or ominous, to be “cooool.”A recurring joke about him is that asks if he has ever run out of energy, where someone would say, “but there's always a first time.”He also has a sibling rivalry relationship with Juniper, although it is often seen that he cares for her deeply. Since episode “Feets too big”, he has a crush on Lila, the Sasquatch. In the episodes after “O Brother, What Art Thou?", Ray Ray is a homunculus, his mind having been transferred to an artificial body after accidentally mutating his original body into a massive dinosaur by ingesting the growth potion that was supposed to make a giant grow back to his proper size. In “Meet the Parent”, Monroe states that Ray Ray has a bladder control problem, though this has never been confirmed, save in“The World According to LARP”when Juniper said that he wet his pants on the jungle gym once, and again in “Dream Date”where he has trouble making it to the bathroom after drinking punch. Since he is very young still, it is probable he will outgrow these tendencies. In“Te Xuan Me”, where after Juniper was erased from knowledge he took up being the Te Xuan Ze, and being particularly skilled at his position, even earning Monroe's praise. However, after everything was set back to normal, Ray Ray started to study in magic spells as a way to help his sister in future battles.
CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES his lack of grasping hands or opposable thumbs (according to Ray Ray, he uses this as an excuse for everything). Monroe has been magically enhanced, allowing him to be understood by those who can see through the magic barrier. Anyone else listening to him will only hear barking. He is also lactose intolerant. Dennis Lee Dennis Lee (voiced by Alexander Polinsky) is Juniper's grumpy, cynical older brother who does not take June or Ray Ray seriously and usually calls them names. He loves manga and video games and does not like anyone touching his stuff. In “Not in my Backyard”, it is revealed that Dennis never gives June a turn in his video games (he says if monkeys fly out of his butt, she will have a turn, which will never happen). Also, when he saw that Ray-Ray got one of his comics books, he didn't like it at all. In “The World According to L.A.R.P.”, he's been known to take stuff out of June's room, which annoys her. In“Sealed With a Fist”, Dennis has grown to trust June after they work together with Boomfist and the heroic team of H.A.T.E. (Heroes Against Terrible Evildoers) to defeat the villainous team of L.O.V.E. (League of Villainous Evildoers). Jody Irwin Jody Irwin (voiced by Colleen O'Shaughnessey) is Juniper's best friend and usually the happiest of the group. She tries her best to cheer the group, even in the most ridiculous of ways. June tries her best not to disappoint Jody, but being Te Xuan Ze, she ends up doing so but Jody forgives her. She is the only Caucasian member of the group. Ophelia Ramírez Ophelia Ramírez (voiced by Candi Milo) is one of Juniper's friends. She is a gothic, grouchy girl with pinkishpurple colored hair and Hispanic descendancy. She doesn't like a lot of stuff and especially hates Roger (in fact, at some nights, Ophelia has nightmares that she's dating Roger). When she is in charge, she wants everything done perfectly and usually has Roger doing something ridiculous.

3.12.3 Setting 3.12.1
Overview
The series revolves around Flapjack and Captain K'nuckles. Flapjack is a young boy raised by a talking whale named Bubbie. Flapjack leads a peaceful life until the duo rescues a pirate by the name of Captain K'nuckles, who tells Flapjack of a place called Candied Island, which is made completely of candy. Inspired by the adventurous pirate, Flapjack, Captain K'nuckles and Bubbie get into strange predicaments and “misadventures”in search of candy, Candied Island and the coveted title of “Adventurer”. The three spend most of their time in Stormalong Harbor, their place of residence, and home to many strange characters.
Most characters live in the fictional city of Stormalong Harbor. The city is built on a series of docks in the middle of the ocean with no surrounding land. It is possible to actually swim underneath the city, which is often done by Bubbie. However, Stormalong has a sewer system and a series of underground tunnels. Most inhabitants are sailors of some sort, and sailors and/or pirates are constantly visiting from other lands. Stormalong has a great variety of (often bizarre) shops, including a bar that serves candy instead of alcohol (The Candy Barrel). The wealthier citizens live on more elevated piers, while the lower class lives lower in the city. The city appears to be relatively dystopian, with a large level of crime and loitering, with the only forms of law enforcement being

The lead characters, Captain K'nuckles and Flapjack
of taking advantage of Flapjack for his own needs, he is actually fond of him and will often attempt to get him out of trouble when a scheme of theirs goes too far. He also defends Flapjack when others try to deceive him, something that he does on a regular basis. Most of his body is composed of wood: his hands are wooden, his legs are pegs and his behind (his “sittin' muscle”, as he calls it) is a wooden board. He is also made of parts stolen by other pirates. Because of his artificial body, he makes mechanical noises when he moves. K'nuckles spends most of the adventures with Flapjack trying to find Candied Island. Flapjack often has to defend him when he is in trouble. During the ending of the final episode, Thurop Van Orman portrays live-action K'nuckles. • Bubbie (voiced by Roz Ryan) - An anthropomorphic whale, she is Flapjack's devoted, adoptive single mother. Bubbie serves as the primary home and transport of both Flapjack and K'nuckles. She frequently disapproves of Flapjack's desire for adventure, but will always be won over. As told in “Oh Brother”, she found Flapjack at sea in a bed of seaweed. Bubbie and K'nuckles frequently disapprove of each other's actions, especially concerning 'adventure'. She believes K'nuckles to be irresponsible, lazy, and a bad influence on Flapjack. However, Bubbie is classified as a hypocrite by K'nuckles because of how she has a consistency of being irresponsible and rule-breaking herself. It is revealed in “100 Per Census”that Bubbie's last name is the same as her first name. Flapjack lives in her mouth.
• Flapjack (voiced by Thurop Van Orman) - A boy who was found and raised by Bubbie, a talking whale. Flapjack is very naive and oblivious to danger,* [3] thus he is easily caught up in perilous situations. He holds K'nuckles in extremely high regard, with his affection for the captain sometimes bordering on obsession. His catchphrase is “Adventure!" (said whenever excited). He is voiced by series creator Thurop Van Orman. During the ending of the final episode, Thurop's son Leif plays the role of Flapjack. Flapjack's original voice actor was meant to be Paul Reubens, but Reubens never showed up Secondary characters to any recording sessions. • Peppermint Larry (voiced by Jeff Bennett) - The • Captain K'nuckles (voiced by Brian Doyle Murowner and manager of The Candy Barrel, the only place in Stormalong where adventurers can get ray) - A washed-up and childish old sailor who candy (besides the Candy Trough, only seen in one claims to be the greatest adventurer the world has ever known. Nowadays, he prefers to nap and drink episode). Peppermint Larry is shown as a genermaple syrup, while telling outrageous tales of past ally nice person, but can also be hasty and selfish adventures and getting Flapjack wrapped up in his at times. Peppermint Larry is lonely and unsocial, high seas hi-jinks. In reality, his stories are either so he made a woman of candy named Candy Wife. completely false, or nowhere near as adventurous or He loves Candy Wife as if she were real, while most amazing as he leads Flapjack to believe. He may not other residents of Stormalong“played along”to hube an entirely incompetent adventurer however, as mor him; until the episode “Just One Kiss,”the he was able to steal the Mermaid Queen's heart and show was deliberately vague as to whether or not successfully escape her guards in “Gone Wishin'". she was actually “alive”or a delusion in Larry's He is a candy addict; he will do whatever it takes to mind.

The sweethearts turned out to be Blood Gnats, which Doctor Barber reveals to the entire Candy Barrel. When Flapjack realizes he is not in love with her, Sally sadly asks,“You, you don't love me?" even though she had displayed disgust at the prospect earlier. As she departs, Flapjack is seen taking off his scarf and waving it at the ship, shouting,“Farewell, Sally Syrup! I don't love you!" Sally answers, waving her own handkerchief at him, “I don't love you too!" Flapjack then sighs dreamily, indicating that, despite everything, he might love Sally Syrup. By the end of the episode she drifted away to Blood Island for more shells and to get rid of the Blood Gnats. Then in The Return of Sally Syrup, we found out that Sally Syrup's dad is The Professor and niece of The Inventor and she thought Stormalong Harbor was boring until Flapjack tried to show her how fun it could be there. When she had to leave she said she actually did have fun. She and Flapjack shared a moment before she had to leave, when she was in the air and flying away she said, “The best part about today was spending it with you”(speaking to Flapjack). When he asked, “Really?" she answered, “Just kidding dummy!" but she could've just been faking it to keep up her reputation. Flapjack then said “There goes my heart.”
• Doctor Barber (voiced by Steve Little) - The current doctor and barber of Stormalong. He is not only a doctor and a barber, but also a certified candyologist. Like many characters in the show, Doctor Barber has an odd, unsettling demeanor. His driving ambition is to perform surgery on and give hair cuts to as many people as possible. It is unclear whether his drive to perform surgery is motivated by his desire to help his patients or is caused by a terribly sadistic nature. His obsession with surgery leads him to always advise the simplest medical problems be addressed with a surgical procedure (much to the denizens chagrin). In an early episode, it is revealed that he feeds the leftover hair from his clients to an odd monster that lives under his barber shop. He seems to have a very secretive lifestyle that is far outside of what Flapjack and K'nuckles know. Doctor Barber sometimes gets shipments in from Candied Island. Flapjack sometimes helps Doctor Barber with his insane shenanigans, often without understanding what Doctor Barber is really up to. Doctor Barber appears to live with his mother, though she resides in a dresser drawer and may simply be a voice Barber hears in his head a la Norman Bates Villains in the film Psycho.

He invented the camera, but it is also powered by kids (having one of the kids draw whatever he saw).

3.13 Megas XLR Megas XLR is an American animated action comedy television series created by Jody Schaeffer and George Krstic for Cartoon Network. The series revolves around two slackers: mechanic Coop and his best friend Jamie, who find a mecha robot from the future called Megas (Mechanized Earth Guard Attack System) in a New Jersey junkyard. Coop modifies Megas and replaces his head, the control center, with a classic muscle car, and names him XLR (eXtra Large Robot). Together with Megas's original pilot Kiva, they must defend Earth from the evil alien race called “the Glorft”. The series is an homage and parody of mecha animation. Schaeffer and Krstic conceived the idea of an animated series where the main character would pilot a giant robot utilizing his video gaming skills. The pilot episode, LowBrow, was shown in 2002 during Cartoon Network's Cartoon Cartoon Weekend Summerfest, to determine which pilot would become a new Cartoon Cartoon; it was the most popular among viewers. It aired on the Toonami block from May 1, 2004 to January 15, 2005 for two seasons (totaling 26 episodes), before being cancelled due to low ratings.
Before the plan can be executed, however, an attack by the Glorft forces the human resistance to send MEGAS back in time before proper preparations are made, but the time drive is accidentally damaged in the attack and, as a result, sends the now-crippled MEGAS (its head was blown off in the attack) all the way back to the 1930s. MEGAS languishes in a New Jersey junkyard until it ends up in the hands of a mechanic, Coop (David DeLuise), and his slacker best friend, Jamie (Steve Blum), around the year 2004. Coop turns MEGAS into a hot rod project by repainting it with a flaming paint job, replacing its head with a classic muscle car (resembling a car from the '70s MOPAR family; most likely a Plymouth Barracuda) and naming it XLR (eXtra Large Robot). Kiva goes back in time to retrieve MEGAS, and when she finds she is unable to pilot it because of Coop's modifications, she grudgingly decides to train Coop, who is now the only person who can pilot it. However, the Glorft have followed her through time and, much to Kiva's chagrin, it is now up to the three of them to defend Earth from the Glorft and various other threats.
3.13.2 Production While playing video games, Schaeffer and Krstic came up with an idea of making an animated series in which the main character would use his video gaming skills to pilot a giant robot.* [4] The pilot short (LowBrow) was shown in 2002 as part of Cartoon Network's Cartoon Cartoon Weekend Summerfest, a contest to determine which pilot would be selected as the next Cartoon Cartoon. It was the most popular among viewers, and was greenlit as a series.

In late 2012, fans on Twitter started using the hashtag #BringBackMegasXLR. The co-creator George Krstic and director Chris Prynoski announced they would bring back the show; seeing as Megas XLR had been written off by Cartoon Network, the studio Titmouse, Inc. would have to get the rights to the show.* [7] On April 29, 2013, George Krstic posted a tweet saying that he and Chris Prynoski were having a meeting at Titmouse to discuss bringing back the show along with Motorcity.

3.14.1 Overview A boy named Adam is expelled to a middle school established for anthropomorphic zoo animals due to a spelling error making his surname “Lion”. There, he is befriended by a mischievous, eccentric spider monkey named Jake, hence the title of the series, along with a sassy toucan named Lupe, a giraffe named Ingrid, who is

In spite of his usual kindness and fondness for his friends, Adam despises being banished to Charles Darwin Middle School because of something beyond his control and longs for his previous humanized middle school. Usually, the episodes are focused on Adam's experiences at Charles Darwin Middle School due to his inability to fit in with his anthropomorphic schoolmates, the challenges that he must face (such as the presumed stupidity of his peers, being schooled in subjects of use only to animals, the introductions of new students of odd, dangerous, or fictional species to the school or the misadventures that Adam stumbles into with them, or the common affects of adolescence as they are experienced by zoo animals).
3.14.2
Characters
Adam (left) and Jake (right)
• Adam Lyon (voiced by Nika Futterman) is a 12year-old human boy who was transferred from Chester Arthur Middle School to Charles Darwin Middle School (CDMS) by an accidental misspelling of his last name from “Lyon”to “Lion” . As the series title suggests, in gym class, Adam was paired up with Jake Spidermonkey and the two become best friends. Jake's plans have them getting involved in situations which end up with him and Adam in trouble. Adam, being physically weak, is often preyed upon by the other animal students. His personality is downtrodden, due to being in an animal school and he also has a reputation of complaining about his daily experiences at the school. Adam can be arrogant and strong-willed at times. Outside of school, he is often seen with a human girl named Kerry, with whom he has a secret crush. His efforts to impress her end up with Adam's embarrassment. Towards the middle of the series, Adam seems to be on the borderline of sanity. Throughout the series, he has shown an extreme interest in clowns; for instance, his favorite super hero is Captain Clowny, despite the time he didn't get a Captain Clowny action figure for his birthday after makinga wish on
137 a star that he would. he eagerly hopes to attend a clown-based summer day-camp and his college of choice is Clown College, as seen on his resume in the episode “My Feral Lyon”. • Jacob P. “Jake”Spidermonkey (voiced by Tom Kenny), as his last name implies, is a spider monkey who quickly became Adam's best friend. He is often very possessive of Adam and hates not having him around regularly. Jake is emotional and goofy, who takes to heart some of Adam's comments and actions, leading to some overly-dramatic and exaggerated reactions. He can be lazy and selfish, but at the same time, he is also fairly sensible. A running gag in the series is his obsession with the wellbeing of his butt, which he made grow so large that it blocked out the sun in one episode. Along with the majority of the other animal students, Jake lives close enough to the school that he can see it from where he lives. Jake is often depicted as unintelligent. Jake has an older brother who looks like a taller, more stretched-out version of Jake. • Windsor Gorilla (voiced by Rick Gomez) is a highly intelligent Western lowland gorilla, who serves as the anti-bully at the school and often gives confusing wisdom to people. He speaks in a soft-spoken and nearly monotonous manner, often stringing together technical words as a matter of his normal speech. When he talks, only the side of his mouth closest to the camera moves and the rest of his mouth remains closed. He is usually seen with Slips and is generally shown to be the leader of the two. Windsor tends to relate with Adam's troubles better than the rest of the school, having a good grasp of both human and animal worlds, although he occasionally gives in to his animal instincts as well. Windsor has an older brother in high school who plays for his school's football team. • Slips Python (voiced by Rick Gomez) is an easygoing, street-talking green tree python. He is an underachiever and excessive daydreamer whose gullibility allows him to believe anything he hears, which makes him a constant source of misinformation. As a snake, he has no limbs, yet wears a T-shirt (why is never explained). Slips has an older sister in high school who, despite being a girl, looks like an older version of Slips with a deep voice. He is usually seen with his best friend Windsor. • Guadalupe “Lupe”Toucan (voiced by Grey DeLisle) is a female Keel-billed toucan, who is loud-mouthed, acerbic, dominating and materialistic, although she considers herself to be mild-tempered and low maintenance. Her best friend is Ingrid, who she dominates more than anyone else. Lupe loves popular culture, such as celebrities and fashion, though not being fond of clumsy toucan celebrity Kiki BonBeaky (despite

CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES this, she said later on that she was one of Kiki's biggest fans). She does not like milk.* [1] She speaks with a somewhat exaggerated, but fake, Chicano dialect and is known to have some issues involving what she sees as her overly large beak. Lupe has an elder sister who is in high school. She has a boyfriend named Corey Vulture, who is seen in the episode “Lupe in Love”.
suck up the water with a loud noise. Bull has a big sister, Euripedes, who graduated CDMS prior to the beginning of the show and left a lasting impression in the school, a fact that has caused Bull to develop an inferiority complex at the mere mention of her name (despite the fact she is not only half Bull's size, but bullies via feminine taunts instead of physical abuse).
• Ingrid Giraffe (voiced by Grey DeLisle) is a female Masai giraffe and the tallest student in CDMS. Her towering height only adds to her feelings of insecurity, as she tries desperately to blend into the background. She is often seen with her neck going up then heading down on the screen in an exaggerated hunch, since it is very long and is often seen from the neck down. Lupe, Ingrid's best friend, often hushes her when she gives advice and basically runs the whole “friendship”. Ingrid has a crush on Adam Lyon, of which he is mostly unaware, or is actively frightened by her advances. She is also considered to be the weakest in the group.
• Henry Armadillo (voiced by Tom Kenny) is an armadillo who speaks in a thick southern drawl.
• Principal Poncherello Pegone Pixiefrog (voiced by Maurice LaMarche), as his last name implies, is a Pixie Frog and the CDMS principal. As a strict, but fair, , he runs a tight ship, which is somewhat remarkable, considering he could easily be squashed underfoot by most of his students and the rest of the faculty; for instance, when he was forced to watch the cheerleading practice, he ended up being crushed under LaTanya Hippo's foot with the weight of the entire team. Principal Pixiefrog always dodges lawsuits, is terrified of lawyers and is scared when anyone in the school could get sued (he is shown to have Liticaphobia). He talks similarly to Windsor, only moving part of his mouth, but his voice is much louder. Adam always asks him if anything bothers him, this frog principal will always help him to see. It is also revealed that Principal Pixiefrog has a mother, who bothers him.* [2] • Mrs. Geraldine Sharon Warthog (voiced by Grey DeLisle) is Principal Pixiefrog's assistant; she does all of the filing and is a warthog. Ironically, she never works. Completely fed up with her job and her employer, she always has an air of complete exasperation about her. Her voice is identical to that of Nurse Gazelle. • Virgil “Bull”Sharkowski (voiced by Phil LaMarr) is a bull shark who enjoys beating up smaller kids and stealing their lunches. His intimidating presence, however, is offset by a high-pitched, squeaky voice that sometimes lessens the impact of his verbal threats. Despite being a bully, he also has a soft humane side that he does not usually realize he is revealing. Due to Bull being a water creature, he wears water-filled headphones over his gills to help him breathe; when he talks, he will stop as his gills
• Coach Tiffany Gills (voiced by Brian DoyleMurray) is a female goldfish. Coach Gills is the school's tiny, deep-voiced PE and health teacher who instructs her students from inside her fishbowl. She often pesters Adam when he does not perform as well as his fellow students. In “Le Switcheroo” , she and Adam trade roles for a day. After experiencing some trouble, they later reconciled. She has mentioned several times in the series that she has no friends. She once had a crush on Mr. Cheetah, an athletic individual who plans to succeed her and Principal Pixiefrog in their careers. Ironically, though she is a fish, she apparently cannot swim. • Miss Chameleon (voiced by Nika Futterman) is a female chameleon who is the drama instructor and art teacher. As expected from a drama teacher, she is a drama queen, who speaks overly melodramatically and will often have stereotypical horror music playing when on-scene. She can blend into her surroundings and turn invisible, although in reality, that is a popular misconception about chameleons. She holds class while perched on a twig located under a warming lamp. • Dickie Sugarjumper (voiced by Tom Kenny) is an Australian-American sugar glider. He made a successful career as a writer for the school's greatest class clowns. His catch phrase is “Hello! How's your tros?" • Endugu Elephant (voiced by Phil LaMarr) is a Jamaican-American African elephant. • Kerry (voiced by Cree Summer) An AfricanAmerican girl attending Chester Arthur Middle School who Adam has a secret crush on.

Reception
My Gym Partner's a Monkey was a ratings success for Cartoon Network. On the series' Cartoon Network“Fridays”block two-episode premiere at 9:00 and 9:30 P.M. EST, the first episode was seen by 1.2 million and the second by 1.3 million children ages 2–11, according to preliminary data from Nielsen Media Research.* [4] The 9:30 P.M. telecast ranked as the #1 telecast on all television, broadcast and cable, with both boys 6–11 and boys 2–11 in the time period.* [4] The series went on top the Fridays block ratings, gaining millions of viewers.* [8] My Gym Partner's a Monkey received generally positive reviews from critics. William Barker of Web Wombat gave the King of the Jungle DVD a positive review, awarding it with a score of 70%, saying: “With an original – dare I say unique? – premise, My Gym Partner's a Monkey makes for a somewhat refreshing change from super heroes and mutants, and the cut-out animation style is captivating, though far from novel. It's not the most impressive cartoon show I've ever seen, but it's quite cute and fairly amusing – even for the older primates among us.”* [9] Larisa Wiseman of Common Sense Media awarded the series three out of five stars, saying:“It's difficult to tell what age group the show's producers were aiming at – the animation style and slapstick by themselves would seem to appeal mainly to grade-schoolers, while the jokes and life lessons are definitely aimed at the tween set. The sly humor may even give some adults the occasional laugh-out-loud moment. Overall, My Gym Partner's a Monkey is commendable for its effort to include a subtle message in each episode. Younger viewers will probably find Jake's sometimes-annoying goofiness amusing, and will definitely find the story lines entertaining.”* [10]

3.15 Regular Show Regular Show is an American animated television series created by J. G. Quintel for Cartoon Network that premiered on September 6, 2010. The series revolves around the lives of two friends, a blue jay named Mordecai and a raccoon named Rigby—both employed as groundskeepers at a local park. Their regular attempts to slack off usually lead to surreal, extreme, and often supernatural misadventures. During these misadventures, they interact with the show's other main characters: Benson, Pops, Muscle Man, Hi-Five Ghost, Skips, Thomas, Margaret, Eileen, and CJ.* [1] Many of Regulars Show 's characters are loosely based on those developed for Quintel's student films at California Institute of the Arts: The Naive Man from Lolliland and 2 in the AM PM.* [2] Quintel pitched Regular Show for Cartoon Network's Cartoonstitute project, in which the network allowed young artists to create pilots with no notes, which would possibly be optioned as shows. The project was green-lit and it premiered on September 6, 2010.
The series revolves around the daily lives of two 23year-old friends, Mordecai—a blue jay, and Rigby—a raccoon. They work as groundskeepers at a park and spend their days trying to avoid work and entertain themselves by any means.* [3] This is much to the chagrin of their manager/boss Benson—a gumball machine and their coworker Skips—a yeti, but to the delight of their (other) manager/boss Pops—a man with a lollipop for a head. Other coworkers include an overweight green man called Muscle Man, and a ghost called Hi-Five Ghost.* [4]

Premise
Main article: List of Regular Show characters
J. G. Quintel, creator of the show and voice of Mordecai, based the show on his student films produced at CalArts.
Regular Show largely grew out of creator J. G. Quintel's life and experiences in college. Quintel attended the Cali-
3.15. REGULAR SHOW fornia Institute of the Arts, and many of the characters on Regular Show are based on the characters developed for his student films The Naïve Man from Lolliland (2005) and 2 in the AM PM (2006). Both originated as part of a game called“48-hour films”, in which students put words into a hat, pulled out one word at midnight and spent a weekend developing ideas for a film. Quintel attended college with Thurop Van Orman and Pendleton Ward, who both went on to work at Cartoon Network Studios with Quintel; Van Orman created The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack and Ward created Adventure Time. Quintel concurrently worked on Camp Lazlo and as creative director on The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack while completing his degree. He was later invited to pitch for Cartoon Network's Cartoonstitute, a project to showcase short films created without the interference of network executives and focus testing,* [5]* [6]
141 the series.* [7] Regular Show was inspired by The Simpsons and Beavis and Butt-head, and Quintel credited the stylistic elements of Joe Murray's Rocko's Modern Life and Camp Lazlo as working their way into his style.* [7] Video games Street Fighter, Shadowrun and ToeJam & Earl —which Quintel played when he was a child —inspired the series, as did some British television programs. Quintel's interest in British television was influenced by his British roommate at CalArts, who introduced him to The League of Gentlemen, The IT Crowd, Little Britain, The Office and The Mighty Boosh; the latter was very influential to Quintel and would later influence the humor in Regular Show.* [6]
J. G. Quintel returned to the characters from his films, put them together with newer characters and created a pilot.* [6] Quintel wanted to present a visual pitch rather than a verbal one, believing the idea would make little sense otherwise. He storyboarded the idea for the pilot, and Craig McCracken and Rob Renzetti liked his presentation.* [7] Regular Show was one of two series from the project that were green-lit (the other show being Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, based on the Cartoonstitute short Uncle Grandpa, which in turn became its' own series later on). The project was eventually scrapped and never premiered on television. (l.* [8] The character of Mordecai embodies Quintel during his college years, specifically at CalArts; Quintel said, “That's that time when you're hanging out with your friends and getting into stupid situations, but you're also taking it seriously enough.”* [1] The character of Rigby was randomly developed when Quintel drew a raccoon hula-hooping. He liked the design and developed the character of Rigby to be far less responsible than his companion.* [9]
3.15.3 Production
The show is inspired by some British television series and video games. Episodes are produced using storyboarding and hand-drawn animation, and each episode takes roughly nine months to create. Quintel recruited several independent comic book artists to draw the show's animated elements; their style matched closely Quintel's ideas for the series. The show's soundtrack comprises original music composed by Mark Mothersbaugh and licensed songs. While preparing for the beginning of the show, Quintel looked for young, independent, comic artists to compose the show's storyboard artists; he thought that the style would closely match that of Regular Show. He looked through blogs and convention s for the “total package”, which he said was the ability to write and draw; something that many independent comic book artists possess. In addition, Quintel attended many open shows at CalArts—an eight-hour festival of student animation.* [6] The style and sensibility of Regular Show was difficult to work with in the beginning; the artists struggled to create a natural, sitcom-like sound for
The series is rated TV-PG-V. Cartoon Network told Quintel early on that they wanted to “age it up from the TV-Y7 stuff we'd been doing in the past”. This direction led the crew to use adult oriented humor with innuendos and drug and alcohol references because they wanted to cater for both the younger and adult audiences. The writers generally make these jokes subtle. The show also makes use of sub-textual adult humor through music. One of the program's storyboard artists, Calvin Wong, said that he enjoys the limitations set by writing for the show since the adult-oriented jokes that are approved are satisfying.* [9]
Writing The process of writing a script for Regular Show begins with the staff writers playing “writers games”for inspiration to find an idea that they find enjoyable. Once an idea is approved, the premise of the episode is written and ed to the storyboard artists, who create the dialogue. The writers try to make the conversations feel natural to the audience, using examples from their own experiences. The script is then shown to the network executives, who give notes on what should be added or changed. The plot generally begins with a basic problem that the characters must overcome. While the protagonists work on their task, a magical, supernatural, or strange element appears and complicates the initially simple problem. The writers decided to follow this narrative structure to take advantage of the animation.
The plots of the episodes are influenced by the writers' and Quintel's personal experiences, such as performing prank telephone calls or accepting an eating challenge from a restaurant. The show often references 1980s culture, using music and electronic devices from that era because many factors from the decade left a positive influence on Quintel. The show also makes references to modern social trends such as viral internet videos.

CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES
Voice cast The voice acting of the series is relatively low-key, and the intention was to make most of the characters sound natural and conversational.* [1] Quintel wanted to make the show listenable and given contrast to most other cartoons, which often are difficult for adults to listen to. The main cast consists of voice acting veterans Mark Hamill, who portrays Skips and Roger Craig Smith, who plays Thomas. William Salyers plays the voice of Rigby, Janie Haddad portrays Margaret and Quintel's former CalArts classmate Sam Marin voices Benson, Pops, and Muscle Man.* [1] Quintel portrays Mordecai and Hi-Five Ghost.* [1] of the production staff have voiced several characters throughout the series; these include Minty Lewis, Toby Jones, Andress Salaff, and Matt Price. The Regular Show cast record their lines together in group as opposed to individual recording sessions for each actor; this is to help the show's dialogue sound natural. The series regularly uses guest voice actors for recurring characters; these guests include Steven Blum, Courtenay Taylor, David Ogden Stiers, and Robin Atkin Downes, Jeff Bennett, Jennifer Hale, David Kaye, Fred Tatasciore and Julian Holloway.
Animation Each episode of Regular Show takes about nine months to complete. Quintel and his 35-strong team develop each episode at Cartoon Network Studios in Burbank, California.* [10]* [11] The script is illustrated in rough handdrawn images, known as storyboards.* [12] The storyboards are then animated and mixed with the corresponding dialogue to create the animatic, which is then sent to be approved by the network. The show's artists assemble the assets (backgrounds, character designs, props) to send to Saerom Animation in South Korea, where the more challenging aspects of the episode are performed. When finished, the episode is sent back to California. Music and sound effects are created and the final episode is mixed and completed. The process allows the production team to work concurrently on dozens of episodes at different stages of production. Although most modern animation has switched to hybrid methods such as the Cintiq, Regular Show has been described as “far more low-fi", and is animated traditionally by hand using digital ink and paint. Although Cintiqs were optioned to be used for the program, Quintel felt more comfortable working on paper, considering it to be more organic and more representative of each artist's individual style. Board artist Calvin Wong said, “the tools of the trade as being pencils, pens, white out and occasionally light boxes and electric erasers”.* [6]
Musician Mark Mothersbaugh works as the main composer of the show.
Music Regular Show has no regular theme music; instead at the beginning of each episode, a blurred sound (provided by Quintel) followed by a ticking a clock is heard over the title cards. The main composer of the series is Mark Mothersbaugh, one of the founding of the band Devo. As Quintel was developing the pilot he considered asking Mothersbaugh to create the music for the show. The episode's animatic was sent to Mothersbaugh along with a request for him to the show's staff and crew. Regular Show will occasionally make use of licensed songs—mostly from the 1980s; this began when Quintel and the staff writers started recording the animatics using copyrighted songs for the montage scenes. The network executives watched the animatic and asked the crew if they wanted to use some of the songs for the finished episodes.* [1] Quintel said that the songs are chosen for their suitability for the scene, whether they sound good and are affordable. Quintel enjoys using the songs in the episodes because adult viewers might them and younger viewers might appreciate older music.* [1] Songs have included "You're the Best Around" and "Mississippi Queen".* [1] The show also produces original songs which are used on the episodes. These are generally composed by Mothersbaugh and written by one of the staff's storyboard artists.* [1]“Summertime Loving, Loving in the Summer (Time)" was written by the staff member Sean Szeles and appeared in the episode “This Is My Jam”(season 2, episode 13).* [1]

Reception
Ratings Regular Show became an instant hit. Its first and second seasons, broadcast on Monday nights, ranked number one in its time slot among all key boy demos across all of television according to Nielsen Media Research.* [20] The pilot's premiere was watched by 2.097 million viewers.* [21] For the following episodes of the first season, viewership increased by over 10 percent from the time period of the previous year. For instance, the entry was viewed by 1.339 million children aged 2–11, a 65 percent increase from the previous year. It was also watched by 716,000 children aged 9–14; a 43 percent increase. The second season premiere, “Ello Gov'nor”, marked a decline from the first season premiere's figures. It gained 2.067 million views, but it marked an increase from the first season finale, which was watched by 2.028 million viewers.* [22]* [23] The third season premiere, “Stick Hockey”, saw a bigger decline in viewers, recording 2 million views.* [24] As the series continued its ratings grew; the fourth season premiere, “Exit 9B”, was watched by 3.047 million viewers—a significant increase from previous seasons.* [25] Critical reception
143 .* [27] He finished his review by calling the show“a pretty awesome piece of refreshing off-the-wall comedy”and wrote that it's “humorously animated, brazenly silly and almost always funny”.* [27] DVD Talk's Neil Lumbrad described the show as“offbeat sense of humor with a lot of randomness that makes its title both peculiar and hilarious”and compared it to the original Looney Tunes shorts and other cartoons—including The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, and Johnny Bravo—which Cartoon Network has produced. He wrote that the network has found“animated gold with Regular Show, which is too offbeat and unique to be called regular”and that it is a “comedic animated gem worthy of being discovered for years to come”.* [28] Lumbrad ended his review by recommending the show and calling it “one truly awesome cartoon with a lot of good humor to enjoy.”* [28] The A.V. Club's critic, Alasdair Wilkins, said that compared to Cartoon Network's other animated comedy, Adventure Time, he does not consider the series to be funny, and describing it as“more pleasingly weird”.* [29] He said that the episodes' plots can occasionally be too complex to explore completely in the show's 11 minutes, and also said that the usual story setup can make some stories feel structurally the same as others.* [30] Wilkins said that he considers that the show is at its best when it focuses on the jokes, the character moments and inventive ways to use animation. Kevin McFarland, also of The A.V. Club, said that he considers the series a thrill to watch; he complemented the animation style, the characters, and the use of motifs.* [26]

Samurai Jack is an American animated television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network. The series follows time-displaced samurai warrior“Jack”(voiced by Phil LaMarr) in his singular quest to find a method of traveling back in time and defeating the tyrannical demonic wizard Aku (voiced by Mako Iwamatsu). Episode plots range from dark and epic to lighthearted and comic, but often contain little dialogue. Stories instead rely on the series' highly detailed, outlinefree, masking-based animation, as well as its cinematic

style and pacing. Many battle scenes in the series are reminiscent of samurai films and since Jack's robot enemies bleed out oil or electricity and his monster and alien foes bleed out slime or goo, the action of these films can be exhibited while avoiding censorship for blood and violence. Samurai Jack premiered on August 10, 2001, on Cartoon Network and has since garnered high critical acclaim. It won four Primetime Emmy Awards, six Annie Awards, an OIAF Award, as well as received eight additional nominations. Cultural influences on the series range from the 1970s TV series Kung Fu to the works of directors Akira Kurosawa and David Lean. The series ran for four seasons, totaling 52 episodes and the series ended on September 25, 2004. All four seasons have since been released on DVD by Warner Home Video. Reruns had frequently been aired on Cartoon Network's sister channel, Boomerang, until the series moved to Adult Swim's Toonami block for reruns on February 1, 2014. The series is currently being continued as a form of Samurai Jack comics.* [1]
3.16.1
Plot
See also: List of Samurai Jack episodes Samurai Jack tells the story of a young prince (Jack) from Feudal Japan whose father's empire is destroyed by the shape shifting demon Aku. As a child, the prince escapes destruction and travels the Earth training his mind and his body for years until he reaches adulthood, becoming a legendary samurai. After taking his father's magic katana, he challenges Aku to a duel and defeats the demon. However, before the prince can deal the killing blow, Aku creates a time portal and sends his opponent into the distant future, anticipating that he would be able to amass sufficient power to deal with the samurai later.* [2] He arrives in a dystopian, retro-futuristic Earth ruled by Aku and filled with his robot minions and a large number of alien immigrant races of various appearances. The first people he encounters in the future call him “Jack”as a form of slang, which he adopts as his name (his true given name is never mentioned in the series).* [1] Standard episodes follow Jack's search for a way to travel back to his own time, where he hopes to stop Aku before these events come to . The cartoon depicts Jack's quest to find a time portal, while constantly facing obstacles set by Aku in a classic battle of Good versus Evil. Typically each time Jack believes he has reached the end of his quest, something causes him to dramatically miss his chance.* [3]* [4] In one attempt Jack locates a stable portal to the past, but the guardian of the portal (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) defeats him after a long but noticeably mismatched battle. The guardian is about to crush Jack when the portal starts to flicker and glow, seemingly giving the guardian a message: the guardian
has a giant pterodactyl take the unconscious Jack away. After Jack leaves, the guardian states that it is not yet time for him to return to the past and an image of what is implied to be an older Jack is seen in the portal: indicating that Jack is predestined to succeed, but it will take years for him to do so.* [3] Setting Samurai Jack takes place in a future Earth where science and technology have developed far beyond what is available in the present day and in some ways resembles magic on its own.* [5] However, despite scientific advances, the future is decidedly dystopian—for example, in one episode the mafia profits greatly from the sale of simple water.* [6] Aliens, bounty hunters, as well as robots are plentiful and always ready for a fight. The leader of this society is Aku. While the setting is distinctly retro-futuristic and technological, instances of mythology and supernatural events do occur. Mythologies, like Valhalla, as well as even supernatural forces, such as demonic enemies, make regular appearances, yet do not seem to stand out amongst the technologically advanced inhabitants. Aku himself is supernatural, as is Jack's sword. Stories take place in a variety of locations. Ranging from beautiful wilderness to futuristic or even dystopian cities, there is often a stark contrast made between the industrial world and the natural world.
3.16.2 Characters Jack Samurai Jack (voiced by Phil LaMarr) is the son of the Feudal Japanese Emperor who ruled the area where Aku originally appeared on Earth, as well as is banished to the future by Aku during their first battle, where he is left in every episode to search for a way home. He was born on the day that his father defeated Aku and he seems to be the only mortal (aside from his father) to be a match to Aku. As a boy, after his father was captured by Aku, Jack traveled around the planet to prepare both physically and mentally for his confrontation with Aku. He studied under various scholars, such as Egyptian thinkers, as well as mastered each art of combat from the cultures he met, training with Zulu warriors, Viking sailors, Robin Hood, Mongolian warriors, Shaolin monks, Greek Olympic contestants, Russian Cossacks, as well as others. Later, after being sent into the future, he is taught the ability to jump hundreds of feet into the air by a species of blue gorilla and a jungle man, thus allowing him to reach vast areas he previously could not reach while also giving the impression that he can fly. Jack's magic katana was
3.16. SAMURAI JACK forged by the gods Odin, Ra, as well as Vishnu through three mortal avatars from the righteous energy within Jack's father: it is able to cut through any substance with enough force behind it. On the other hand, it is unable to harm beings that are pure of heart, as seen in episode 4 of season 3, where Aku steals the sword and attempts to kill Jack with it, but fails even to cut him. Jack strongly exhibits the characteristics of a stoic hero. He is unfailingly polite and humble despite the completely alien nature of the futuristic Earth and never scoffs at or disparages the customs of the people he encounters (as unpleasant as they seem to him at times). Despite his almost hopeless situation, he does not bewail his destiny, instead exhibiting a strong amor fati. Jack consistently shows an uncommon moral strength of character by helping the poor and defenseless along the way, in one instance even helping talking dogs that worked for Aku, in another, releasing the souls of a family in a haunted mansion. Occasionally, he faces great physical pain, or has to forget his own goals in order to help someone in need. His real name has never been revealed (however, his way of replying his name when asked may be a homage to Violence Jack due to sharing a similar response as well as the name). In the second episode however, he began using the name Jack when three teenage aliens, after witnessing Jack survive a huge fall by jumping onto cars, referred to him as Jack while praising him when he landed—in this case, more of a generic term, i.e. “dude”or “guy.” Later, when asked to identify himself, he replied "They call me Jack." He is also 25 years old (born“25 B.A.”).
Aku Aku (voiced by Mako Iwamatsu in the television series and Greg Baldwin in Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall) is Jack's nemesis. (He is apparently named after Akuma, an evil demon with burning eyes from Japanese mythology). He is an extremely powerful demon wizard whose primary ability is shape-shifting, though he does possess other powers. He requires no food, water, or air and is capable of interstellar travel. He also has the ability to spy on Jack and others from a large sphere he can summon at will in his tower. A significant aspect of the series is that Aku is immortal and Jack's samurai sword is the only weapon capable of harming and finally defeating him: even the slightest physical with the sword's blade causes Aku severe pain and wounds inflicted by it burn his body and cut away his power. Because of this threat, Aku does not like to fight Jack himself and only does so when Jack is incapacitated or without the sword. Aku much prefers to let his minions and bounty hunters do it for him. Aku is also vulnerable to varying degrees of other forms of magical or divine attacks such as the powers and artifacts of deities.
147 Jack's own gambits. The two seem doomed never to defeat each other, for though Jack has bested Aku on numerous occasions, Aku merely transforms into a small creature and escapes, usually calling out a taunt over his shoulder as he flees, a fact that he himself is aware of and even makes a reference to in one episode. The episode “The Birth of Evil”reveals Aku's origin. Long ago in the vastness of space, a great formless evil appeared. Before the darkness could do harm to the universe, it was set upon by the kings of three religions: Odin, the Norse god and one-eyed king of Asgard, Ra, the sun god and king of the deities of Egypt, as well as Vishnu, the supreme being in Hindu mythology. So fierce was their attack on the shadow, that it was completely destroyed, save for a small fragment that was flung aside in the heat of battle. For ages, the fragment drifted through the cosmos and eventually fell to Earth, as well as caused the impact event that wiped out the dinosaurs when it landed. The land around its impact site eventually formed into the islands of Japan, where the evil fragment slowly grew like a forest and spread like poison over the course of eons, creating an ever-expanding mass of black spikes and toxic tar that devoured and poisoned any who entered. Eventually, the forest grew so large that the Emperor of the land decided to kill the evil at its source. Armed with a magic oil given to him by Buddhist monks, the Lord and his cavalry rode into the heart of the forest, but the Lord himself was the only one to survive. Once at the black lake at the forest's center, the Samurai Lord doused an arrow into the oil he was given, lit it with a green flame and shot it into the lake. Instead of destroying the evil, however, the magic arrow gave it both a will and consciousness, thus the demon wizard Aku was born. Aku went on a rampage of destruction, burning and killing. He proved to be unstoppable, so with the help of the three gods, Jack's father forged a sword capable of harming him. With it, he was able to defeat Aku and turned the demon back into a black tree. This imprisonment was only temporary, as years later, a solar eclipse releases Aku upon the Earth once more. While he is usually presented as a serious and threatening foe, Aku is also a source of comedy due to his outrageous design and sometimes wise-guy behavior, ed by Mako's over-the-top voice acting. Aku's shifts in personality between serious and chaotic suggest that his mind changes form just as his body does. In addition, Aku has a tendency to refer to himself in the third person. Secondary characters
When Jack arrives in the future, he finds that Aku has conquered the planet and rules the populace with an iron fist. Jack finds that there are still warriors in this age and occasionally meets both those fighting for and those siding against the side of good. The Samurai Jack universe Aku constantly antagonizes Jack, often attacking him is populated by a diverse cast of characters who often apwhile he is weak and other times defending himself from pear for single episodes with only two notable exceptions.
148 The Scotsman The Scotsman (voiced by John DiMaggio) is the name for a Scottish man who initially shares a rivalry with Jack, but later becomes one of the samurai's most trusted allies. He is one of only two characters to appear in four episodes - “Jack and the Scotsman”,“Jack and the Scotsman II”, and“The Scotsman saves Jack”(which consists of two consecutive episodes). In “Jack and the Scotsman”, he first meets Jack and then makes fun of Jack by calling him various names and insults such as 'a sissy in a nightgown'. He even derides Jack's sword, calling it a butter knife, though Jack has impressed him by the end of the episode. In “Jack and the Scotsman II”, the Scotsman enlists Jack to help him rescue his dainty, beautiful wife from a demon. The rescue is successful, but only because the Scotsman's wife turns out to be larger and more terrifying than the Scotsman himself, as well as stronger than Jack and the Scotsman combined. By time of the episode“The Scotsman Saves Jack”, he has come to use the name 'Samurai Jack,' instead of 'friend' or 'stranger'. The Scotsman saves Jack when he loses his memory to the Sirens, as the Scotsman's preference for the bagpipes makes him the only one immune to them: he compares their singing to 'someone stepping on a lot o' cats'.
CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES The Emperor The Emperor (portrayed by Sab Shimono as an old man, and Keone Young as a young man) is the Emperor of the land, Jack's father and the original wielder of Jack's sword. Like his son, the Emperor is brave, humble and polite. Despite having a striking resemblance to his son, the Emperor has a bigger nose.
3.16.3 Production
Samurai Jack was created by Genndy Tartakovsky as a follow-up to his successful series Dexter's Laboratory. He intended to develop a series “that is cinematic in scope and that incorporates action, humor and intricate artistry” .* [8] Prior to Samurai Jack, Tartakovsky had complaints with action cartoons, which is why he decided to create his own series in the genre. He based his new project on the samurai character, one of his favorites, as well as the works of Seven Samurai director Akira Kurosawa and Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago director David Lean.* [9] Cartoon Network executive Mike Lazzo recalled Tartakovsky pitching him the series: “He said, 'Hey, David Carradine in Kung Fu? Wasn't that cool?' and I was like, 'Yeah, that's really cool.' That * The Scotsman's notable features include his legs: one of was literally the pitch.” [9] them is normal, if disproportionately small, and the other The network announced the series' launch at a press conis a fully functional machine gun, which he wields in com- ference on February 21, 2001.* [10] Weeks leading up to bat along with explosives contained in his kilt.

The Scotsman serves as a convenient foil for Jack, as they are nearly perfectly matched in fighting and survival skills, but very different in personality, manners, as well as sense of honor. While Jack is humble and polite, The Scotsman tends to be rude and brags about his skills. Yet he happily calls Jack“The greatest warrior on the planet aside from me.”Whereas Jack has mastered martial arts skills, The Scotsman seems to rely almost entirely on his freakish strength, brawling using his Claymore, machine-gun leg and various grenades in his kilt. The Scotsman is the only character, apart from Aku, to also appear in the Samurai Jack comics.* [7]
3.16.4 Influences Samurai Jack frequently features appearances from deities of varying pantheons and creatures of legend. Tartakovsky was influenced by many different sources. The series overall was designed to look like a Japanese epic, with individual episodes taking on their own styles. Action in Samurai Jack borrows liberally from old martial arts and samurai films, as well as action films of the 1970s and Japanese anime. Like 1963's Toei Animation studio release entitled The Little Prince and the Eight-Headed Dragon (originally Wanpaku Ōji no Orochi Taiji), it uses multiple angle and split screen shots to display action from multiple angles. The plot is frequently stopped to

The distinctive style of Samurai Jack is what drew Lucasfilm to recruit Tartakovsky for the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series. Much of the signature cinematic style of Samurai Jack is present in Clone Wars, such as Tartakovsky has also acknowledged taking some of his lightning-fast combat, extended sequences without diathematic inspiration from Frank Miller's comic book selogue, explosions, epic vistas, etc.* [19] ries Ronin, including the premise of a master-less samurai warrior thrown into a dystopic future in order to battle a Samurai Jack also remains a popular subject with Cartoon shape-shifting Demon.

Rodney (left) and Andy (right).
Andy and Rodney are arch-enemies with a rowdy boy named Kyle (Billy West) and his anthropomorphic parrot, Salty Mike (Carlos Alazraqui), who constantly pick on Andy and Rodney and act as bullies towards them. Other characters in the show include: Oscar (Jason Spisak), Andy's nerdy human friend with overprotective parents, Leon (Tom Kenny), a stray blue squirrel who is Rodney's friend and lives in a tree in Andy's backyard; and Darlene (Monica Lee Gradischek), a yellow stray squirrel who is Rodney's love interest.
Sym-Bionic Titan is an American animated action science fiction television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky, Bryan Andrews, and Paul Rudish for Cartoon Network. The series focuses on a trio made up of the alien princess Ilana, the rebellious soldier Lance, and the robot Octus; the three are able to combine to create the titular Sym-Bionic Titan. A preview of the series was first shown at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con International,* [2] and further details were revealed at Cartoon Network's 2010 Upfront.* [3]* [4] The series premiered on September 17, 2010, and ended on April 9, 2011. The series is rated TV-PG-V.
Cartoon Network initially ordered 20 episodes; Tartakovsky had hoped to expand on that,* [5] but the series was not renewed for another season, as the show“did not have any toys connected to it.”* [6] Although Sym-Bionic Titan has never been released on DVD, all 20 episodes The series most likely takes place in the summertime, see- are available on iTunes. ing as none of the child characters in the show attend On October 7, 2012, reruns of Sym-Bionic Titan began school and don't appear to be homeschooled, even the airing on Adult Swim's Toonami block along with the games on CartoonNetwork and the press release indicate 2011 television series of ThunderCats.* [7]* [8] the season a lot.

When called into battle, the Galalunans are outfitted with individual armor that provides more than ample protection. It is when the gravest of danger appears that Octus activates the sym-bionic defense program and he, Ilana, and Lance unite“Heart, Body and Mind”and come together to form the spectacular cyber-giant Sym-Bionic Titan.
3.18.2
Characters
Galalunians • Corporal Lance (voiced by Kevin Thoms) - On Galaluna, Lance was the most talented soldier in his military unit, but also the most rambunctious. With an inherent disregard for authority, Lance is often lost in his own angst and turmoil. However, on the battlefield he is a quick and capable warrior. Lance's father was a top scientist who disappeared in a mysterious accident when Lance was very young. After this, Lance had a troubled life in school before proving himself as a warrior and ing the military. The King of Galaluna chose Lance as his daughter's protector on Earth, and during this mission the two become close friends. The rebellious attitude that caused him so much trouble back home becomes the reason of his popularity at Sherman High. Lance uses the “Manus”armor, capable of materializing short-range weapons such as swords, with built-in guns and missiles. Lance is the “body”of Titan.
153 develop new abilities, such as super speed, if the situation calls for it. When a threat exceeds Octus' individual abilities he is able to unite with Ilana and Lance's armors to form the Sym-Bionic Titan, becoming the “mind”of the giant robot. In an effort to assimilate on Earth, Octus can cloak himself with a variety of holograms. In school, he adopts the persona of a stereotypical“nerd”named Newton, (after Sir Isaac Newton). At home, Octus uses a “Dad”hologram. While this is initially intended to function as a ruse for parent-teacher conferences and other events necessitating parental participation, Octus begins acting more like a real father as the three spend time on Earth, often mediating fights between Lance and Ilana and helping them to see things from a different perspective. As Newton, he also undergoes changes, discovering his emotions and developing a liking for the cheerleader Kimmy that he himself cannot explain. Sym-Bionic Titan The Sym-Bionic Titan (referred to as just “Titan”by humans) is the combined form of Lance's Manus armor, Ilana's Corus armor, and Octus's robotic body, the result of the Sym-Bionic defense program that Octus possesses. Its interior structure is the combined Manus and Corus armors and its transparent exterior armor is Octus's outer shell. It is capable of flight and can create various weapons, tools and defenses in exact response to the pilots' mere thoughts. The Titan rarely shows outward signs of damage, but will deactivate if attacked enough. In“A New Beginning”, the Sym-Bionic Titan was made even stronger and more powerful when Octus was brought back to life, with more abilities and powers (which are much stronger and much more powerful) than it had before, like projecting huge, incredibly powerful energy beams from its hands and feet. When it came to the only time when Sym-Bionic Titan spoke, its voice was provided by Richard McGonagle.
• Princess Ilana (voiced by Tara Strong) - Ilana is the daughter of the King and sole heir to the throne of the planet Galaluna. She has always been a symbol of hope and happiness for the citizens of Galaluna, and it is for this reason that evil forces hunt her on Earth; her very existence is enough to rally a rebellion against her people's oppressors and for that she must be destroyed. Ironically, the outspokenness Villains and earnestness that made her a hero to her people • General Modula (voiced by Don Leslie) - Once a has made her unpopular at school on Earth.

• Electric Entity - This monster appeared in the episode “A Family Crisis”. It is a blue-white mass of electricity that was first found by the Galactic Guardian Group on a space station near Saturn, where it attacked them, leaving Solomon as the only survivor. This forced him to call Ilana, Lance and Octus for help. The creature has the power to drain any form of energy from anything. The creature is destroyed when Lance blew up the space station with the creature in it, but not before Octus is killed by it. The only noise the creature makes is a loud shriek. It is unlikely that this monster is a Muttradi, as it did not open the rift gate the other monsters use. Muttraddi The Mutraddi are alien monsters used by General Modula in his plot to conquer Galaluna and kill the princess. Some are human-sized, while others are gigantic mega-beasts. Their homeworld is a damaged planet called Mutradd, though many of them apparently were not born there. Even so, they are still referred to as Muttraddi. It is possible that“Muttraddi”is the Galalunian word for “alien”. So far, only a few Muttradi are known to be able to speak. Among the featured Mutraddis are: • Fire Monster - The Fire Monster is the first Mutraddi that General Modula sent to Earth to destroy the princess. It is really a rock monster, but is capable of using fire as a weapon and flying. When it came to Earth, it landed outside the city of Sherman, and the military was unable to stop it as it entered downtown. It was then attacked by Ilana, Lance and Octus, and for the first time, the three formed the Sym-Bionic Titan. During the battle, the monster devastated a large section of the city with its fiery power, but eventually the Titan pushed it into a nearby lake, dousing its flames, but it then burst out of the lake in its rock form and tried to crush the Titan. At this point, Solomon and G3 had arrived on the scene and paralyzed the monster with a motion wave cannon, allowing the Titan to cut the monster into pieces. • Xeexi (voiced by Vanessa Marshall) - Xeexi is an intelligent squid/cockroach-like Mutraddi creature, the third Mutraddi that General Modula sent to Earth to destroy the princess and one of Modula's high-ranked troopers. He can enter humanoid bodies (and possibly more) to cause massive stress, pain, and is even able to make said humanoid spill information. His only appearance (so far) was in“Phantom Ninja”, where he gained information from the King that Ilana was “not alone,”and then invaded Earth for Modula's bidding to find out why the monsters Modula was sending to earth were failing to
destroy Ilana. He attempted to track Ilana, caught a signal of Lance's armor and successfully captured him and forced him to reveal Ilana's location, which also succeeded. Lance, however, eventually escaped and regrouped with Ilana and Octus to form SymBionic Titan. When the Titan was formed, Xeexi was surprised to see the Galalunan secret weapon. As Xeexi was retreating (as his mechanical vehicle was a small bug compared to the Titan), he initially recorded the Titan and successfully sent a probe back to Galaluna, only for his vehicle to be crushed by the Titan. Despite his possible death, he succeeded in his mission. It is unknown whether Xeexi died or not. Being an invertebrate, he could have survived being smashed by the Titan. For a spiltsecond, he can be seen inside his vehicle when the Titan smashed it. • Duraak (voiced by John DiMaggio) - A Mutraddi scientist. Modula came to the Mutraddi homeworld in hopes to find a “special”creature since the ones given to him were failures. Duraak presented a giant creature who had scales that could withstand unmeasurable force and had poisonous spikes that shot out like missiles, but did not catch Modula's interest. He then presented a giant frog-like creature that could emit lightning and fire, but he told Modula it was not the most special. Finally, he presented Tashy 497, who could perform an explosion powerful enough to destroy an entire planet. However, when Tashy 497's vital signs boosted but it did not explode, Durrak was killed by General Modula due to his failure. • Tashy 497/Mushy/Tarax/497 - The seventh Mutraddi sent to Earth. It has the physical appearance of a cute, harmless alien, but in fact, has unstable power from within. If it dies, it creates a massive explosion that is powerful enough to destroy an entire planet. Modula had interest of this creature and had dispatched it to Earth in a large rocket so it can explode when it crash-landed, but Sym-Bionic Titan managed to stop the rocket. Lance, Octus and Ilana then found Tashy inside the rocket's “warhead”. Ilana adored the creature and took it with her since Octus stated they could not leave any alien life form for the army to discover. Ilana named it Mushy, Lance named it Tarax, and Octus called it 497. When Octus analyzed a piece of its skin, he discovered the creature's intent and the atmosphere of Earth caused it to deteriorate. It was then agreed that they would send it out to space so it would explode harmlessly. It was later discovered that the creature had created a cosmic formation, and was named Tashy 497. It was the only Mutraddi monster that didn't intentionally want to destroy the trio. • Muculox (voiced by John DiMaggio) - Muculox is the tenth Mutraddi sent to earth. He is slightly larger than a human, and the only Mutraddi beast not to
3.18. SYM-BIONIC TITAN engage Titan in combat. He is light green, with four eyes located along his bottom jaw, and has six limbs; two smaller upper arms, two larger lower arms connected by light webbing and two legs and has transparent skin on his chest and head. He is also capable of reviving after being defeated and he can even speak. Proportionally, he is very strong, capable of kicking the Manus armor a significant distance. When he came to Earth, his ship landed in a swamp, and he engaged Lance, Ilana and Octus when they came to investigate. After being electrocuted by Octus under water he is apparently killed and thrown on shore. While discussing what to do with the beast, Muculox revives and wraps his projectile tongue, around Ilana's ankle, giving her a topical venom burn before fleeing into the swamp. This venom burn slowly infects her and begins to replace her DNA with that of Muculox's, making her stronger and more nimble, as well as altering her appearance. Midway through her transformation, Ilana encounters a dead alligator that shows some of the same transformation signs as she has: webbed hands, and light greenish skin, and two eyes on its bottom jaw in addition to its own eyes (clearly another victim of Muculox). The mutant alligator also revives from its deceased state and attacks Ilana. She manages to survive being bitten by the giant creature with little to no injury, and the beast is killed when Ilana snaps the mutant gator's jaw. By this point, Ilana is fully transformed and Muculox approaches her and emits a call from his vocal sac, gaining control over her mind. This call was also used to summon his ship from where it rested at the bottom of the swamp, so he could take Ilana back to Mutradd and gain an even greater reward for bringing her in alive, but before they could leave, Lance kills Muculox by using the Manus armor to leap up to the escaping ship and stab a trident through Muculox's chest, piercing its heart. When Muculox dies, the ship crashes and the psychic link between Ilana and Muculox is severed. Ilana goes into cardiac arrest for a period of time, but then her mutated heart restarts, and since the link is severed, she reverts to her humanoid form. Other strange Mutraddi exist, including the standard Mutraddi which are grey and strong. Modula has these in Hordes. Another is a drill creature that is impervious to most attacks. Also, there are other intelligent Mutraddi besides Xeexi, such as a humanoid frog that seems to serve as a courier for Modula. Earthlings • Solomon (voiced by Tim Russ) - Solomon is the leader of the Galactic Guardian Group (more commonly known as G3), an independent group dedicated to handling alien threats, which he initially
155 sees in both Titan and the monsters it fights. He knows the identities of Ilana, Lance, and Octus since he saw surveillance videos of Lance wielding his Manus armor and had them confiscated. He appears to have an understanding of “Titan's”good intentions as shown when he allowed Titan to flee when it defeated the fire monster and smiling when Octus played the friendship song. Solomon stated that he is tracking General Steel's actions and warns him not to mess with foreign species, which Steel ignores. However, his true motives are currently unknown. In “The Fortress of Deception”, he captures Lance and Ilana and outruns Octus. He later assumes a false identity “Kane”(a reference to pulp witch-hunter Solomon Kane), who is a prisoner and ex-member of G3. Kane later guides the group to their armor, and later, Octus comes and they form Titan. Solomon then secures Titan in a giant trap, reveals his identity, and demands answers, but Titan manages to escape. He also has a fighting style similar to Lance's, but even though G3 uses Galalunian-like technology, he still appears to have no knowledge of the Galalunians and their purpose. He also secretly works for a currently unknown individual with a metal hand (which looks exactly like a Manus armor hand implying this man may somehow be Lance's father who had gone through the rift gate many years earlier) who seems to be the true leader of G3. G3 also cleans up the remains of the giant Mutraddi monsters that Titan has already destroyed. After being rescued from the Electric Entity by the group, he offers to help them. They eventually agreed and stayed with G3 while they tried to restore Octus. • General Julius Steel (voiced by John DiMaggio) - General Julius Steel is in charge of many of the armed forces, and is portrayed as the stereotypical "shoot first, ask questions later" soldier. He too sees Titan and the monsters it fights as a threat, but he also hates Solomon due to their competition of dealing with alien threats. He stated in an interview that Titan was the one who brought the monsters to Earth, and intends to destroy it so that more monsters would not appear (which is true in some way, given the fact that Modula is sending them to Earth to destroy the princess). His desire to destroy Titan may be an obsession, demonstrated when he completely ignored safety protocols to cut open a mysterious rock, which resulted in a cloud of destructive power. Even after Titan stopped it, Steel still seems to be obsessive over the destruction of Titan. Steel is very stubborn and dimwitted, even to fire his pistol directly at a mutraddi creature. • H.M.E.R. (a.k.a. “The Hammer”) The H.M.E.R. (Homeland Mobile Emergency Robot) is a giant robot that General Steel built from the remains of the massive rocket that

CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES brought Tashy 497 to Earth. It has powerful military weapons, a giant laser gun, thick armor, is capable of flight, and is manned by a crew of hundreds of soldiers. It was revealed to the public when it engaged the horned monster in downtown Sherman and defeated it. Later, it fought Ilana and Lance when they broke into Steel's military base to repower Octus by using H.M.E.R.'s power source. It almost killed them, but they were saved at the last minute by Solomon and G3, prompting Steel to mark G3 as traitors. Steel takes great pride in this machine, shown as he patted its surface after it fought Lance and Ilana. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in the last episode by a Mutraddi monster in San Francisco. The nickname of the robot is obviously a pun on the 1990s rapper M.C. Hammer, and General Steel made frequent references to his song U Can't Touch This during the robot's use.

When a Mutraddi creature attacks at the party, Newton upsets Kimmy by making her escape with Brandon. She gives him the silent treatment for it at school, but then gives him the chance to explain himself. In “Under the Three Moons”she became upset when Newton left her during the homecoming dance and she broke up with him. She also appeared in“The Steel Foe,”in which she noted the absence of the“Lunis”family from school. In “A New Beginning,”Kimmy and her friends went to check the “Lunis”house, worried about them. In the end of the episode, when she receives a text from Newton saying he will be back soon, tears come from her eyes and she smiles, showing that she still has feelings for Newton. • Jason (voiced by Will Friedle) - Jason is a sweet yet geeky and clumsy boy who Ilana meets at the “Scary Mary”party. He later goes to the homecoming dance with Ilana, who had a large hand in organizing the event. When Ilana, Lance, and Octus depart to fight a Mutraddi, Jason decides to dance with Mirabel, a girl on the homecoming committee.

Production
The series was produced by Genndy Tartakovsky and employs a similar animation style to Tartakovsky's Samurai Jack. Tartakovsky revealed in his Hyperspace commentary tracks on the official Star Wars website and on the Volume I DVD that he purposely animated C-3PO with moveable expressive eyes to pay homage to the animators of and the animation style of Nelvana, the production company behind the animated segment from Star Wars Holiday Special and the 1980s Droids cartoon series.

Release
• Chapters 21–25 of the micro-series were released on December 6, 2005. The release was an edited together compilation of the five chapters, similar to the Volume I release. The set featured English subtitles, and commentary tracks on all the episodes. Features included a Revenge of the Sith movie trailer, art galleries, trailers for the Star Wars games Battlefront II and Empire at War, an Xbox demo with two levels from Battlefront II, and the LEGO short film Revenge of the Brick. Also included was the featurette “Connecting the Dots”, which highlighted the creative process that Genndy Tartakovsky and his team used to link Clone Wars to Revenge of the Sith. The second volume of Clone Wars series was released significantly later than the DVD release of Revenge of the Sith. According to Van Ling, the producer of both DVDs, the Volume II disc was released at such a late date due to an extremely tight schedule in producing the DVDs. According to http://starwars.com, both DVDs were produced at exactly the same time, but the Clone Wars DVD could not be finished in time for the DVD release of Revenge of the Sith.

3.20. TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED general, see List of Transformers TV series. Transformers Animated (ト ラ ン ス フォー マー ア ニ メ イ テッ ド Toransufōmā Animeteddo) is a Japanese/American animated television series based on the Transformers toy line. It is produced by Cartoon Network Studios and animated by The Answer Studio, MOOK DLE., and Studio 4°C. The series debuted on Cartoon Network on December 26, 2007 and in Japan, April 3, 2010, on both TV Aichi and TV Tokyo.* [3] The series has 42 episodes (two sets of three interrelated episodes make up two 90-minute made for TV movies) across three seasons.* [4] The show's continuity is separate from any other previous Transformers series, despite using footage from the first series (The Transformers) in its first episode as a historical film. The Japanese version of the cartoon was slightly rewritten to tie into Michael Bay's Transformers film series. Despite being a Cartoon Network original series, the show was aired on Nicktoons in the UK since February 2008, Jetix/Disney XD in the rest of Europe from September 10, 2008 and, finally, back in the states on The Hub in high definition until 2014.

Synopsis
161 tries to take the Allspark for himself, but the Autobots successfully stop him and save the city once again.
Season One In the first season, the Autobots settle into their new home and learn about Earth culture and customs, all of the while defending Detroit from various threats. Megatron's disembodied head, which has been in Professor Sumdac's laboratory since the ship crashed, comes back online and manipulates Sumdac into building him a new body, pretending that he is an Autobot. Blitzwing and Lugnut arrive on Earth searching for Megatron, while Blackarachnia targets Optimus Prime, blaming him for her technoorganic mutation. New Transformers introduced in the first season include the Autobot Arcee (who only appears in Ratchet's flashbacks), the Decepticon Soundwave, the bounty-hunter Lockdown, and the Dinobots Grimlock, Snarl and Swoop. Several human villains are also introduced, including Nanosec (who can run at extreme speeds), the Heaster (who pilots a machine that attaches to and controls large robots) and Meltdown (who is covered in a toxic and corrosive substance). The season ends with Megatron returning with a new body (built by the Allspark from his old body), and the Allspark exploding into fragments that scatter across Detroit.
Main article: List of Transformers: Animated episodes Season Two Pilot episodes The series began with a three-part pilot called “Transform and Roll Out!". Stellercycles (centuries) after the Autobots won the great war for Cybertron against the Decepticons, an Autobot maintenance crew led by Optimus Prime and consisting of Ratchet, Bulkhead, Prowl and Bumblebee discover the legendary Allspark buried on an asteroid. The Autobots take the Allspark back to their ship, but are soon confronted by a crew of Decepticons led by the notorious warlord Megatron and consisting of Blitzwing, Lugnut, Blackarachnia and Starscream. Megatron attacks the Autobot ship and tries to retrieve the Allspark, but when an explosive planted on Megatron by the treacherous Starscream detonates, the ship crashes on Earth. The Autobots go into stasis to survive the crash, while the scattered remains of Megatron are discovered by a human scientist named Isaac Sumdac. Fifty years later, Professor Sumdac is the CEO of a robotics company known as Sumdac Systems, which is based in a futuristic version of Detroit. Optimus Prime and the Autobots awaken from stasis and defend the people of Detroit from a monster, resulting in them becoming local celebrities. They befriend Sumdac's young daughter Sari, who teaches them about Earth customs. At the end of the pilot episodes, Starscream arrives on Earth and
In the second season, the Autobot Elite Guard Ultra Magnus, Sentinel Prime, and Jazz arrive on Earth to retrieve the Allspark, only to learn of its destruction in the Season One finale. While Sentinel completely disbelieves Optimus' claims, Optimus and his team are eventually able to convince Magnus of Decepticon activity on Earth. The main theme for Season Two is the discovery of small fragments of the Allspark littered across the city (and possibly, the entire planet), while the Decepticons work on building a space bridge back to Cybertron with the help of Issac Sumdac, who was kidnapped by Megatron in the previous season's finale. New characters introduced in season 2 include the Autobots Omega Supreme (who was revealed to be Optimus Prime's team's spaceship), Wreck-Gar, Wasp and Blurr, the Decepticons Shockwave, Swindle, Mixmaster and Scrapper, the human villain Slo-Mo (who is able to slow down time), and Starscream's army of clones Thundercracker, Ramjet, Skywarp, Sunstorm and Slipstream (none of the clones are openly referred to by name in the series, the names listed come from the toy-line, while Slipstream was retroactively given her name by Hasbro). At the end of the season, the Decepticon Space Bridge is destroyed, but Megatron, Starscream and Omega Supreme are sucked through and lost in deep space. Sari meanwhile, notices an injury that exposes machinal parts under her skin, revealing that she is not human.
162 Season Three Following the events of the two-part second season finale, Sari is shocked and distraught over the revelation that she is a robot, and instantly assumes that her“father”had built her, refusing to believe Sumdac's claim that he discovered her as a small liquid metal body. Prowl does some research and discovers that Professor Sumdac was in fact telling the truth, and deduces that Sari is a Cybertronian protoform (the early development stage of an Autobot and Decepticon) that scanned Professor Sumdac's genetic information. Sari later uses the power from her AllSparkpowered key to upgrade herself into an armored technoorganic teenage form that is far taller and much stronger equipped with numerous weapons and special abilities. Meanwhile, on Cybertron, Shockwave (disguised as the Autobot Longarm Prime) sabotages several Elite Guard operations in preparation for Megatron's return, unaware that Megatron and Starscream are lost in deep space, trying to gain control of Omega Supreme. Suspecting that the double-agent may be the escaped convict Wasp, Ultra Magnus sends Sentinel and Jazz back to Earth to find and apprehend Wasp, who has found his way to Earth to exact revenge on Bumblebee for framing him. Soundwave and Arcee reappear in season 3, with Soundwave being accompanied by minions Laserbeak and Ratbat. New characters introduced in season 3 include the Constructicon Dirt Boss, the Autobot scientist Perceptor, Prowl's mentor Yoketron (who only appears in Prowl's memory flashes), and the Elite Guard Jetstorm and Jetfire. In the two-part season finale, Jazz s Optimus Prime's team on Earth, while Megatron and Starscream also find their way back to Earth, using information stored deep winin Arcee's subconscious mind to create an army of Omega Supreme-sized robots in Lugnut's likeness. Optimus defeats Megatron with the aid of Ultra Magnus' Magnus Hammer and a“Wingblade”jetpack built by Professor Sumdac, Ratchet, and Sari while Prowl sacrifices himself to re-assemble the Allspark and destroy the“Lugnut Supremes”. The Autobots return to Cybertron with the apprehended Decepticons, and are hailed as heroes upon arriving on their home world. Post-Cancellation info
CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES Bulkhead defending Cybertron's energon farms from the Decepticons. Megatron would also reformat into a new, Triple-Changer body, with his new vehicle modes being a fighter jet and a tank, both of which would be Cybertronian. An action figure was designed for Megatron's new body (along with figures for Powermaster Optimus Prime and Hot Shot's earth mode), but was never massproduced or released at retail. Other ideas planned for the cancelled fourth season include Blackarachnia returning with an army of Predacons, Bulkhead and Sari entering a parallel universe with evil Autobots and heroic Decepticons (an homage to the Shattered Glass comic), Minicons from Kaon disabling all the machinery in Detroit (an homage to the film Gremlins), the introductions of the Autobot Cosmos (who would have scanned a prop flying saucer from the set of a B-Movie) and the Decepticon Bludgeon (who would have been a pirate), and a new group of human villains called S.T.E.A.M. (short for Saving The Earth And Mankind), who are against modern technology and use Steampunkstyle weaponry. Return to The Hub The Hub started airing reruns of the show on July 9, 2012, in its original HD format until mid-2014.
3.20.2 Characters Main article: List of Transformers: Animated characters The main Autobots are Optimus Prime, Prowl, Ratchet, Bulkhead, and Bumblebee. The main Decepticon cast is made up of Megatron, Starscream, Blitzwing, and Lugnut. The main humans, or as the Transformers call them,“organics”,* [5] are Professor Isaac Sumdac, Sari Sumdac, and Captain Fanzone.
3.20.3 Comic/manga adaptation Transformers Animated was adapted into comics and published by IDW Publishing in 2008. The book used cartoon screen captures arranged in comic book style s. In Japan, a manga adaptation titled Transformers Animated: The Cool (トランスフォーマーアニメ イテッドザ・クール Toransufōmā Animeiteddo: Za Kūru) was created by Naoto Tsushima and serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's Kerokero Ace magazine from March 26, 2010 to March 26, 2011.
A fourth season was initially planned and intended, but was cancelled. According to Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II, season four's main theme would have been the discovery of Energon deposits left by the Allspark across Detroit. Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz and Ratchet would have returned to Earth along with new team member Ironhide (who would scan a pick-up 3.20.4 Locations truck vehicle mode resembling the live-action film version of the character), while Bulkhead and Sari would • Detroit: The Autobots and Decepticons end up have remained on Cybertron, with Sari discovering more here, and the battle of good against evil is renewed about her unique origins and Cybertronian species, and in this future city on Earth.
3.20. TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED • Sumdac Tower: The largest tower in Detroit where Isaac Sumdac designs and tests his robot creations, which was also the resting place of Megatron's severed head before he was revived. Its appearance is that of a giant spark plug. • Abandoned Automobile Plant: The current headquarters of the Autobots. According to Sari, Isaac acquired the plant from a merger several years ago, and he was not aware of the plant itself being part of the merger. • Dino Drive: A theme park in 22nd-century Detroit that features displays of animatronic Dinosaurs. • Fossil Fuels: The city's oil refinery. Its logo is an parody of Sludge. • Wyatt Toy: A toy store. • Burger Bot: A fast food restaurant frequented by Sari and, later on, the Autobots. The restaurant's name is a parody of Burger King with the emphasis of it being run by robots. Unfortunately, it got destroyed by Masterson when he was battling Optimus in Starscream's body. • Tigatron Stadium: The city's baseball stadium where Prowl faces Lockdown in the episode “Five Servos of Doom”. The stadium is a parody of the Beast Wars character Tigatron and is also a parody of the nowdemolished Tiger Stadium. • Dinobot Island: Small isolated island in middle of Lake Erie where the Dinobots are living. It is also the location of Meltdown's laboratory. • Carbon Mines: The site far from Detroit where Megatron's body ended up. During Season 2, Megatron uses it as his base of operation because the carbon protects him and his forces from detection. The Mines are later destroyed during the“A Bridge Too Close”2-parter. • Orion: The Autobots' ship, Orion, crippled by the Decepticon's attack and crash-landed in Lake Erie. Its main computer system has a female-voiced persona known as Teletraan I, which is the same name of the Autobot computer system in Generation 1 (G1). When Blitzwing and Lugnut arrived on Earth to search for Megatron and the Allspark, Ratchet and Sari used its (previously deactivated) weapon systems to battle the Decepticons. In part two of “Megatron Rising”, the ship flew again, only to be shot down and crash into the crater mountainside of Dinobot Island (similar to the crash of the Autobot ship in G1). The emergency shuttle stored inside the ship was destroyed by Starscream in the episode“A Fistful of Energon”. In“A Bridge Too Close”Pt.
163 2, it was revealed to be the vehicle form of Omega Supreme. • The Nemesis, the Decepticons' Warship: Megatron's flagship, which dwarfs The Autobot Ship in size and carried the stolen Protoforms. On the verge of destruction, it was abandoned by all of the Decepticons except Starscream. He managed to survive and pilot its remains for fifty years until he eventually homed in on the Allspark on Earth. The ship later crash-landed on the moon. It still remained there, acting as Starscream's base of operations and holding his decoy army, until Megatron had parts of it torn down to build his Omega Supreme clones. • Death's Head, Lockdown's Ship* [6]: A ship that is outfitted with hologram projectors to disguise it, and very powerful scanners. Lockdown travels the galaxy in this ship, and he stores many of his hunting trophies on board. It is named after the Transformers comic character Death's Head. • The Steelhaven, The Cybertron Elite Guard's Ship* [6]: Similar to the ship of Optimus Prime's crew, only larger and light blue in color, Ultra Magnus and his team landed with this ship in Detroit. As of“Mission Accomplished”, the ship and its crew has returned to space again to aid the other Autobots across the galaxy. There is a special prison module for the captive Decepticons in this ship. Ultra Magnus had put Starscream in this module when the latter had been arrested by Optimus Prime on Earth; but during the Cybertron flight Starscream managed to break out of prison. • Cybertron: home planet of the Transformers. It is usually seen in flashbacks. • The Metroplex: The Autobots' central headquarters on Cybertron, and the chambers to The Autobot High Council. • Fortress Maximus: The Elite Guard's base on Cybertron.
3.20.5 Production The series is animated by Japanese animation studios MOOK DLE, The Answer Studio (the Japanese studio that animated Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!), and Studio 4°C. Formerly known by the working title Transformers: Heroes, its new simplified title was designed to specifically distinguish it from the live-action film released in July 2007, months before the first episode aired.* [4] The series is distributed internationally by Entertainment Rights.* [7]
164 The show's supervising director is Matt Youngberg (Teen Titans, The Batman),* [8] with Cartoon Network vicepresident Sam as executive producer and Vincent Aniceto as line producer. Additionally, Beast Machines writer Marty Isenberg returned as the head writer for this series. Art director/lead character designer Derrick Wyatt (Teen Titans, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Legion of Super Heroes) created the controversial “brand new look”that this series introduces.
CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES live-action Transformers film series, with Bulkhead being portrayed into a younger version of Ironhide while the show's Ironhide is renamed Armorhide. Human characters are also renamed like Nanosec into Speed King in the Japanese version. In addition, some of the episodes have been reordered, or removed, to fit with the change in story. Notably, the episodes focusing on the Constructicons have been omitted, likely due to the lack of toys based on the characters (though the last Constructiconfocused episode was aired anyway). Despite all these edits, little actually suggests a tie-in to the films, as the dub is mostly faithful to the original American broadcast; the only mention of Bulkhead's new identity as Ironhide is a toy biography stating that he is a weapons specialist.
The first episode was due to be screened in full on November 3–4, 2007, at the NTFA Mini-Con, a Transformers convention in Arlöv, Sweden, but US toymaker Hasbro pulled their approval of the screening of the full episode, despite it being green-lighted by Hasbro Nordic at first. The episode had to be cut down to the first 11 min- In addition, the series features newly animated opening utes.* [9]* [10] and ending sequences.

The series premiered on Cartoon Network on September 14, 2007, to coincide with the release of the Re-Animated movie on DVD. The show was the only show on the network to be affected by the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike. The series made its Canadian premiere on Teletoon on Saturday September 6, 2008. It also airs on Boomerang in Australia. The US run of the show ended with the airing of the show's final episode on May 29, 2008. Although promoted to be the “first live action/animated series on Cartoon Network”, the show was not the first. The first was, in fact, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, which ran from 1994 to 2004; this was Cartoon Network's second original series overall (the first was The Moxy Show), as well. In addition, Cartoon Network aired Big Bag, a collaboration of both live action and animation, coproduced by The Jim Henson Company and Cartoon Network.

Production
Cartoon Network ordered 20 episodes, which were filmed from May to September 2007. In airing the show, Cartoon Network split the series into two seasons. The first season of the show premiered in September 2007 and lasted 13 episodes. The channel later aired the remaining seven episodes as the second season, starting in March 2008, one week after the airing of episode 13, which was considered part of the first season. The show's hiatus between seasons (actually between episodes 12 and 13) coincided with the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike, which led many to believe that writing on the show had been interrupted. In fact, writing and production for all episodes had been completed in September. However, the strike did prevent the writers from being involved in editing and post-production, including the controversial decision to add a laugh track beginning with episode 8, “Skate Night”. Following the strike, the series was not renewed.

Uncle Grandpa,* [3] which garnered praise, a cult following and an Emmy Award nomination.* [4] Both were produced at Cartoon Network Studios.* [5] Before landing his own show, Browngardt had worked at Augenblick Studios and MTV, as well as on individual programs, such as Futurama, The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack and Chowder. Browngardt's work on the lattermost series began when its creator C.H. Greenblatt looked through one of his pitch bibles that he left at the studio.* [6] The show borrows elements and its design style from his Uncle Grandpa short, which was pitched to the network as a pilot. According to Browngardt, they were unsure about having a series centered around the titular character, and felt the monster characters from the pilot had more potential. In an interview with Cartoon Brew, Browngardt called the process of pitching his pilot an“amazing learning experience”because it allowed him to propose an idea to the network and see “how it can manipulate and change while you're working on it”.* [3] On the show, Sue Mondt served as art director, while Robert Alvarez and Larry Leichliter directed the animation.* [7] Browngardt depicted the production schedule as “really tight” , which called for them to manage their time and to pick their battles with the network.* [6] In the United States, the show is rated TV-PG.* [2] Referring to his encounters with the network regarding content, Browngardt learned to let go and find the“right balance” , as well as to ask himself, “Is my grandma going to notice this?"* [6] For the music, Mike Conte of the heavy metal band Early Man was employed as composer. The score, which incorporates heavy metal elements and“lots of riffage",* [8] was originally added to the animatics as a rough draft. Browngardt found that it harmonized with the imagery and what he envisioned for the design.* [3] Conte noted Browngardt's inspirations from Garbage Pail Kids and Don Martin of Mad magazine, but called the result “definitely its own thing”.* [8]
A fivesome of monsters known collectively as the Disgustoids are banished from society due to their unruly behavior and ghastly appearances. From their sentient and eponymous mountain fort, they unleash their crazy stunts on the public.

The network published the remaining eight episodes through iTunes a month later, from March 8 to March 29, thus concluding the show.* [12] Many critics were complimentary in regards to the series' art style. In his website Lineboil, Aaron Simpson compared it to Garbage Pail Kids and the works of Don Martin, two elements of his childhood.* [13] Amid Amidi of Cartoon Brew called Robert Ryan Cory's character designs“impressive”and“distinctively styled”.* [14] Abby Koenig of Houston Press compared its “ridiculous”nature to the film Little Monsters, and proposed that Howie Mandel (featured in the latter work) guest voice a monster on the show.* [15] Shannon O'Leary of Publishers Weekly wrote that the show, along with others on the network such as Adventure Time and Superjail!, bore resemblance to the aesthetics of established independent comics artists.* [16] Meanwhile, Jason Krell of io9 considered it a failure despite its influences from Adventure Time, which made way for many successful original series on the network.* [17] The episode “Nightmare Sauce”received multiple accolades, including at the 2012 Annecy International Animated Film Festival for “Best TV Production”(of which Browngardt was the recipient* [18]), and at the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards, where Cory and Chris Tsirgiotis were awarded “Outstanding Individual in Animation”.* [19] Cory also won at the 39th Annie Awards for“Character Design in a Television Production”, while Tsirgiotis, Sue Mondt, Daniel Elson and Mark Bodnar were collectively awarded“Production Design in a Television Production”.* [20] At the 40th Annie Awards, Thaddeus Paul Couldron was nominated for “Character Design in an Animated Television or Other Broadcast Venue Production”for his work on the episode “Secret Mountain Uncle Grandpa”.* [21]

retain some aspects of Secret Mountain, it would be a more lighthearted adaption for children. He ultimately expressed that he wanted“more variety in the music and be able to go [sic] sort of a happier place, though it does go dark and heavy at times”.* [3]

The Problem Solverz is an American animated television series created by Ben Jones, a member of the art collective Paper Rad, for Cartoon Network. The series centers on the trio of Alfe, Roba, and Horace, as they solve the problems that plague their town, Farboro. Various characters from the series were conceived through Jones' education at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, with the main trio appearing in the Paper Rad animated DVD film, Trash Talking. The series was later pitched and published to Adult Swim's official website; the network later prompted Jones to retool it as a children's series for Cartoon Network.

Like a cat, he coughs up furballs whenever he chews his fur (voiced by Ben Jones). • Roba is the smartest member of them, being a half robot half human cyborg, who is incredibly insecure and anxious about everything. He is Horace's twin brother (also voiced by Ben Jones). • Horace is the calm and collected leader of the team, usually using common sense with his actions and taking care after Alfe, his companion. He is Roba's twin brother (voiced by Kyle Kaplan).
Around the same time as the release of Trash Talking,* [4] Jones ed executive producer Nick Weidenfeld to do a project for Cartoon Network's late-night programming block, Adult Swim: he created a pilot for the network entitled Neon Knome (which was produced by PFFR and Williams Street) featuring the protagonists, which was eventually published on the network's official website* [3] in 2010 as part of their “Big, Über, Network, Sampling”contest, sponsored by Burger King.* [6] The heads of the network backed the pilot,* [1] prompting Jones to migrate the premise to Cartoon Network proper* [3] and making him move to Cartoon Network Studios in Burbank, California, where the show was restructured as a children's series.* [1] In the United States, the program is rated TV-PG, denoting material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children.* [7] Although Jones explained that not much was changed,* [4] he was most relieved to hear that the character of Alfe was retained, calling it the “bottom line”of the offer.* [1]
To their aid is Tux Dog (voiced by John DiMaggio), an extremely wealthy dog who helps the Problem Solverz in some of their cases, but is just as often the source of their problems. He insults Roba for his personality flaws and Production appearance and speaks with a British accent.

Development
Concept and creation The Problem Solverz is an animated television series created by Ben Jones, that since his early age developed an interest in animation and comics.* [1] After moving out of Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh to central Massachusetts at the age of four, his father, Frank Jones, landed a job as a software engineer, bringing home the latest hardware with it. The town of Farboro, featuring a vibrant art style similar to the Surrounded by technology, he cited this as an influence works of Paper Rad on how he works as an artist.* [2] Jones later entered the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, where he developed characters from the series* [1] before approaching graphic novelist Christopher Forgues to form the art collective “Paper Radio”, later known as Paper Rad with artists Jessica and Jacob Ciocci in 2000.* [3] Jones had conceived the protagonists as early as 1996,* [3]* [lower-alpha 1] and early incarnations of the characters are featured in Paper Rad's animated DVD film, Trash Talking. Two shows within a show were created in 2006 and in 2008, and are respectively entitled “Alfe: Gone Cabin Carzy”[sic] and“Problem Solvers"; the first was always included in Trash Talking and details the trio when they are stuck in their abode as apocalyptic noises strike their neighborhood,* [4] while the second, that was instead released on DVD as a bonus to the periodical The Ganzfeld # 7,* [5] introduced the problem solving element of the show more that some of his main
A new production team was cast initially for the reboot, including the supervising director Greg Miller (creator of Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones?),* [3] and the character designers* [8] John Pham and Jon Vermilyea.* [3] The series was noted for its unique art style, with backgrounds and characters sporting vibrant colors and shapes in a similar vein* [1] of Paper Rad's other works.* [9] Jones sought inspiration through retro-style influences from music, pop culture and video games.* [1] References to video games appear frequently in the series, with Jones using them“more like religion": not just for comedic effect, but to invoke “layers of meaning” .* [4] Commenting further on the visuals, Jones dubbed it a reflection of a “new visual language”for animated television, he noted, that were evident in sibling series such as Adventure Time and Regular Show.* [1] The series staffed numerous indie cartoonists, including Vermi-
176 lyea, who worked as a character designer on Adventure Time. Martin Cendreda, Pham and Jones himself—technical director, lead designer and creator, respectively— contributed to the comic anthology series Kramers Ergot.* [8] The series was animated on Apple computers* [2] using Adobe Flash, a program which Jones used on his first Alfe projects in Massachusetts.* [1] In addition, he specified that Flash was used to animate the series directly instead of as a translation of ideas, and credited Eric Pringle for helping him through technical ; many of Pringle's colleagues from series such as Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and ¡Mucha Lucha! moved on to the series, forming a group of less than 15 full-time animators. During production of the first season, episodes were produced as quickly as a few weeks, which Jones credited to the animating environment. In contrast, story and scripting phases of an episode took months to complete for the season. Running 14-hour shifts,* [1] Jones eventually left Cartoon Network Studios to develop another animated series for the FOX's Saturday late-night programming block ADHD.* [10]
CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES Lowry of Variety wrote that the art style and sound design failed to enhance the story. He felt that the series suffered from “being bizarre simply for its own sake” and called it“all experience, and even at a mere 15 minutes, an ordeal”.* [16] Writing for the Pittsburgh PostGazette, Rob Owen dubbed Jones the source of thanks or “blame”for viewers happening upon its“wild visual elements that look like graphics from an Atari 5200 video game”.* [2] While Devin D. O'Leary of the Weekly Alibi acknowledged the art style as reminiscent of Paper Rad's works, he warned viewers that,“take one glance at these coloring-book-gone-wrong images and they'll be seared onto your retinas for at least 48 hours.”* [9] Common Sense Media's Emily Ashby rated the series one star out of five, calling it “chaotic, loud, and virtually devoid of any content that could be considered worthwhile, especially for kids”.* [17]
Other reviewers from cartoon- and art-related publications praised the design; writing for The Comics Journal, Dan Nadel—a former publisher of Jones—wrote a piece applauding the show for being seen to such a broad audience. He wrote that he celebrated it “for a hard wrought vision I believe in, one I think is funny and humane and invaluable.”* [3] Writing positively in the Geek 3.24.3 Broadcast and reception Exchange, Liz Ohanesian wrote that the series is “filled with Lisa Frank colors”and found it analogous to the See also: List of The Problem Solverz episodes band Anamanaguchi: “something so different from the rest of the entertainment landscape that you never know * The series premiered on April 4, 2011 on Cartoon Net- if you'll find someone else who is into it as well.” [15] work.

Cancellation
In January 2013, Paul Dini revealed that Cartoon Network never gave him an answer for the cancellation of the series, though he speculated on Kevin Smith's Fatman on Batman podcast that an increased young female viewership over the network's young male target was a principal cause.* [10] He also added that he intended for the series to run for 'five seasons' and had plans for season two to air in February, 2011. Dini expressed interest in writing season three where he had planned for Ian to be the leader of the gnomes.

4.5. TOWER PREP mimic animal noises as seen in the episode “Field Trip”where she impresses Ray Snider by mimicking a lion's roar. Her power is known as Mimicry.* [14] She's a quiet, introspective girl whose bubbly personality shines through. She is“as quiet as a mouse” but also considered a“hottie”(by Ray Snider). Her father owns Sato Systems (formally known as SatoScientific), a well known electronics company that is the main technology provider for the school. They make everything electronic, including the security cameras and communication devices, as well Whisper 120, Whisper 119 and Whisper 023, the school's supercomputer. She has an older brother, Shinji, whom she once believed was dead, who also went to Tower Prep. She kisses Gabe in episode“Phone Home”after he tells her that he's never kissed a girl, although in the episode“Dreams”in her dream she kisses Ian which shows that she might have feelings for him also. In the episode “Fathers”, Suki's father tries to take her away from Tower Prep because she “isn't for Tower Prep and Tower Prep isn't for her”. Her father almost succeeds, until Ian defeats him and his bodyguards. Tower Prep staff The teachers of the school do not use their actual names. They are instead called by the subjects they teach. For example, if a teacher teaches math, they are simply called Math. The heaster of the school is simply called Heaster. If a teacher teaches two subjects, they are called by both. For example, if a teacher teaches both history and physical education, they are called Coach History. • Heaster (Ted Whittall) - Heaster insists that Tower Prep's purpose is solely to refine the exceptional students' abilities for the better, but there are hints that suggest he has other plans. He is possibly the actual leader of the Rooks, as Coach called him “Most Exalted One”in one of their talks. In the episode“Trust”it is revealed that he reports to a higher istrative board. In the episode“Snitch” , it is revealed that he is CJ's father and that he is trying to make Tower Prep like it was when Cornelius ran the school. He is secretly working against the head istration.

Ian discovered that the true suspect was Ross Anderson, who stole the Chemica Desin during her work study in the clinic and modified it.

Reception
Critical reception The premiere episode of Tower Prep received positive reviews. Brian Lowry of Variety said the show's mysteries might appeal to children ... and adults, calling it“a series that points the way toward a best-case scenario”for Cartoon Network's live-action programming.* [26] Robert Lloyd in his Los Angeles Times review praised the show's energy, casting, and writing in spite of its modest production values.* [27] Both reviewers noted the series shares elements with The Prisoner and other works such as Harry Potter, Lost and The X-Files. Todd VanDerWerff of The A.V. Club stated that while the pilot episode suffered from low production values and murky fight scenes, it benefited from a strong primary cast, Dini's use of superpowers, and potentially intriguing moments. Further, he specifically pointed to the involvement of creator Paul Dini and producers Glen Morgan and Darin Morgan as reasons he believed the show will grow into a compelling series.* [28] In the 2011 Leo Awards, Brenton Spencer was nominated for Best Direction in a Youth or Children’ s Program or Series for the episode “Dreams”.* [29]

Other Company Productions 5.1 Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is an American animated fantasycomedy television series created by Sam for Cartoon Network. It premiered on November 19, 2004 and ended its run on June 27, 2006, with a total of three seasons and thirty-four episodes, leaving five episodes unaired. The series was produced by Renegade Animation and Cartoon Network Studios.
5.1.1
Overview
Secondary characters include: Jang-Keng (Grey DeLisle) and Tekirai (Janice Kawaye), the duo's pet cats who enjoy tormenting Kaz; Harmony (Sandy Fox), a six-yearold girl who is the self-proclaimed “Number One Fan” of Puffy AmiYumi and (later) Kaz and constantly stalks them; Eldwin Blair (Nathan Carlson), a sinister land developer who tries to tear down beloved places for his own selfish needs; King Chad (Katie Leigh), a selfish “bad boy”who is a master of the card game Stu-Pi-Doh! (a parody of Yu-Gi-Oh!); the Talent Suckers (Nathan Carlson; Corey Burton), a vampire rock trio from Transylvania; and Atchan (Rob Paulsen), a caricature of Vo Atsushi (lead singer of the pop band New Rote'ka) who speaks in third-person and thinks he is a superhero. The animated Puffy AmiYumi travel all over the world in their tour bus. While appearing the same size as a regular bus on the outside, it appears to have enough internal space to house the girls' rooms (including full-sized beds), Kaz's room, their equipment, televisions, and computers, among other things. In the episode“Domo”, Kaz refers to an upstairs area. It also seems capable of running on autopilot, as Kaz, Ami, and Yumi are sometimes sitting in the rear cabin of the bus while traveling. Occasionally, the rear door has been opened to receive packages delivered by a boy on a scooter.
The main cast of the show. From left to right: Ami, Kaz, Yumi, Jang-Keng and Tekirai.
Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi follows the adventures of two 16year-old pop stars and best friends: Ami Onuki (Janice Kawaye), a peppy, optimistic, and cute schoolgirl; and Yumi Yoshimura (Grey DeLisle), a cynical, sarcastic, rough, and tough punk rocker. Both are based off the real Japanese pop duo Puffy AmiYumi, but with different appearances and exaggerated personalities. They travel around the world on their customized tour bus, along with their well-intentioned yet greedy manager, Kaz Harada (Keone Young). From rockin' out at a concert to hanging out in their hometown of Tokyo, the duo take the world by storm with their musical talent, trend-setting style, and humor, dishing out lessons in J-pop justice and establishing the international language of “cool”along the way.
During the first season, the show included live-action clips of the real Ami and Yumi making childish commentary (in English and non-subtitled Japanese) at the beginning and end of each episode. They only performed short clips at the beginning of the show during the second and third seasons. Starting with the second season, the duo was sometimes shown holding title cards introducing the cartoon segments. At the end of the episode“Sitcomi Yumi” , Ami and Yumi watched television and saw the animated Kaz with the real Ami and Yumi. The real PUFFY performs the cartoon's theme song (which is also in Japanese, German, Spanish, and Portuguese in the respective regions), and many episodes feature one or more of the duo's songs playing in the background, along with music by their Puerto Rican muse Andy Sturmer. Though the characters speak English, the script intersperses their vernacular with Japanese speech, especially

CHAPTER 5. OTHER COMPANY PRODUCTIONS
5.2 The Secret Saturdays The Secret Saturdays is an American animated television series created by Canadian cartoonist Jay Stephens (creator of the Emmy-winning cartoon Tutenstein) for Cartoon Network. It debuted on October 3, 2008, in the United States. The series follows the adventures of the Saturdays, a family of cryptozoologists that work to keep the truth about cryptids from getting out, in order to protect both the human race and the creatures themselves. The Saturdays travel the Earth searching for cryptids to study and battling twisted villains like the megalomaniac V.V. Argost.* [1] The series is influenced by the style of '60s-era Hanna-Barbera action series (such as Jonny Quest) and is combined with Jay Stephens' own personal interest in cryptozoology. The show finished its run on January 30, 2010 and is currently in reruns airing on Boomerang as of December 5, 2011.* [2] The Saturdays appear in Ben 10: Omniverse episode "T.G.I.S." teaming up with Ben Tennyson and Rook Blonko in stopping the villain Dr. Animo who has revived the Saturdays' archenemy V.V. Argost. The episode confirms The Secret Saturdays and "Ben 10" share the same reality (references to Ben 10 have previously appeared in a few episodes in The Secret Saturdays).
5.2.1
Origin
When Stephens first pitched the show, it was called Cryptids, after the monsters undiscovered by science. It involved a crack team of globe-trotting cryptozoologists that were uniquely qualified for the job because they were once cryptids themselves. Okapi, Komodo, and Megamouth, along with their 9-year-old human mascot, Francis, served as a sort of anti-detective team. They scooted across land, sea, and air in what Stephens called a Campercopter and their goal was to preserve the mystery of the Earth’s strangest creatures before they were exposed by humans or destroyed by the cryptids' nemesis, Monsieur Dodo. This version got him nowhere with many networks, though they all did show interest for some time.* [3] Months later, the show was picked up by Cartoon Network, due to the network (at the time) wanting more action shows due to the success of Ben 10 and Ben 10: Alien Force.* [4] 9-year-old Francis became 11-year-old Zak Saturday and many of the original characters were canned. For a time, the network wanted the show's name to be The Secret Adventures Of Zak Saturday, but it was later changed.* [5]* [6] Unlike most mystery shows, the goal of the heroes of The Secret Saturdays is not to reveal the existence of cryptids, but to hide it.* [7] The art style of the show was influenced by the artwork of Alex Toth and 1960s Hanna-Barbera action cartoons, such as Jonny Quest and The Herculoids.* [8]* [9] In July 2008, Cartoon Network started a viral cam-
paign for the show. Several commercials for a website called CryptidsAreReal.com aired on Cartoon Network.* [10] Each commercial featured a pet of the Saturday family: one showed Komodo, another Fiskerton, and a final one showed Zon. One area of the program's website also held a“secret”document:* [11] while most of the words on it were blacked-out, the names of Drew and Doc (two of the main characters) were revealed. The document also talked about a creature discovered outside of Nottinghamshire, England. Though the first word was blacked-out, the paper said a “phantom”had been the newly discovered creature. It was implied that the creature was the Fiskerton Phantom, a cryptid reported to have lived outside of Nottinghamshire and commonly done by this website, would be Fiskerton, a main character in the show. To back this conclusion up, Zak stated in one episode that Fiskerton was lucky because he was saved by Doc and Drew, also stated in the document. Typed at the bottom of the document was the name “Agent Epsilon”. This is a character in the show. The website also showed a blueprint of the Saturdays family's airship. Another site was linked to CryptidsAreReal.com: the page for an organization called Ten Hero Tusk (an anagram of“the Kur stone”), which states that its explorers are“D. Blackwell, B. Finster, and L. Van Rook”, all of which are characters in the show.* [12] During San Diego Comic-Con 2008, booklets about a show called Weirdworld (the show-within-a-show) were given out, with the website for it on the back of them.* [13] Unlike CryptidsAreReal.com, this one couldn't be traced back to Cartoon Network. Later, commercials for Weirdworld aired on Cartoon Network for a few weeks before a commercial for The Secret Saturdays itself was aired on October 3, 2008.
5.2.2 Plot Main article: List of The Secret Saturdays episodes Zak Saturday and his parents, Doc and Drew, are a family of planet-saving scientists called“The Secret Saturdays.” Living in a hidden base, they are part of a secret organization of scientists known as The Secret Scientists who protect mankind against the hidden and terrifying things of the Earth. In the series, folktales aren't just legends, but actual mysteries that the Saturday family must solve. Traveling all over the planet, the Saturdays explore ancient temples and bottomless caves, as well as battle with villains which includes the evil V.V. Argost (who hides his evil plans under his TV show Weird World) and a masked mercenary named Van Rook, who specializes in the capture of cryptids. Scouring the globe in search of cryptids, the Saturdays attempt to keep the existence of these unusual beasts secret, to protect both mankind and the creatures themselves. The Saturdays and their exotic cryptid pets are a loving bunch, trying to work through everyday family matters and squabbles in-between their ad-

Thrasher and Blastus are two teenage robots who live on the planet of Insanus. Their planet is inhabited by murderous robots who seek to kill one another for no apparent reason. Slightly less horrific than their peers, the duo seek to make it through high school, and navigate their lives with mixed results. Thrasher (Patton Oswalt), a tall and lanky robot, wishes to gain the affections of an attractive female robot named Maimy (Jessie Cantrell). Meanwhile, Blastus (John Gemberling), a small and rotund robot, just wants to be popular. As with Thrasher and unlike most robots on Insanus, he is mostly sensitive and non-criminal, much to the disapproval of his mother. In his quest to be cool, however, he is incredibly impulsive
Buckley (pictured) collaborated with Deasy to pitch concepts to the network starting in 2007.
The series was created by Michael Buckley and Joe Deasy and produced by World Leaders Entertainment in New York.* [1] It was originally created with the working title Horrorbots.* [2] The network had ed Buckley to create a series three years prior to the broadcast of Robotomy. He asked for Deasy's help, and together they pitched five ideas, to which all were rejected. Six months later, a second wave of ideas proved equally unsuccessful. Reaching their third trial, also six months later, the two pinpointed the rejections on them thinking within the network's mindset as opposed to their own. Frustrated with the project, they submitted a rough premise of Robotomy, which was accepted, much to their surprise. Buckley described the plot as when "Superbad meets the

Wade called the storylines “pretty thin”and its focus on “the imagery that sells the metaphor of school as a battlefield” .* [8] Aaron Simpson of Lineboil called the storylines“irreverent”and the chaos similar to Superjail!, “minus the dismembered bodies”.* [2] The series was eventually added to Netflix in 2013 after the service announced a deal with Warner Bros. to include programming from Cartoon Network series, among other shows.* [7]
According to crew, the style of animation required a distinct set of skills, compared to another production by World Leaders, The Venture Bros. While that series was animated by the same team that did Batman: The Animated Series, Robotomy was done by the Chowder production team. In an interview, it was said that the style of the former team follows“perspective, anatomy, and realworld physics in animation”, while the latter team laid its focus on“the humor of the movement and timing, squash and stretch,”* [3] among other principles. Co-executive 5.3.4 Episodes producer Christy Karacas's unique art style also proved laborious for them in that it provided “very clean polished lines”* [3] over more organic drawings.

ReThe show's color has been described by Karacas as a major part of the visuals; inspirations included Paul Klee and Katsuhiro Otomo, as well as the concept of fluorescence. The team wanted to create“a bold, fresh look”* [3] that reflected the universe, and so they chose to be minimal with their palette to attract attention to the line work. In addition, they eschewed the use of vivid primary colors and instead chose more secondary colors. However, they took to accentuate the scenes with “pop colors”that mimic the glow of neon lighting, and lastly they added vertical reflections to the floors and grunge textures to the backgrounds.* [3]

Broadcast and reception
Robotomy premiered on October 25, 2010 on Cartoon Network, following a new episode of Mad.* [1] A crew member from World Leaders established that the network was doing more to blend its Adult Swim brand with its primary youth demographic. The series was ultimately targeted for an older demographic than other series on the network, although it still had to be appropriate to the “broad age range.”* [3] The debut broadcast was seen by 1.7 million viewers in the United States, acquiring a 0.2 Nielsen rating for adults aged 18 to 49.* [4] The season received an average of 1.5 million viewers, also with a Nielsen rating of 0.2.* [5] After ten episodes, the series concluded on January 24, 2011,* [6] making it the shortest run of any original series on the network.* [7] Renn Brown of Cinematic Happenings Under Development noted Oswalt, a high-profile actor, as contradictory to the show's short-lived run.* [7] Will Wade of Common Sense Media gave the series a lukewarm review, finding it suitable for older teens while calling it appealing to those

launched through a tunnel and out over the water. When they arrive where ApeTrully is being held, a battle or contest ensues, during which special talents or abilities of the animals are revealed, often something based on their nature. After the battle or contest, the animals usually concede to First Squad's skills saying through translation by ApeTrully (unless the animal rulers can talk) that they would be honored to Big Green. After ing, the animals often are assigned a particular duty at Big Green based on their demonstrated skills, which may help solve a problem introduced in a subplot. The show is very loosely based on ancient Chinese novel the Water Margin focusing on the exploits of First Squad and Second Squad.* [9]
6.1.2 Characters Big Green Big Green is a peace-making force with goals to restore peace between the humans and animals:
Synopsis
Many years ago in the Hidden Kingdom, animals and humans lived in perfect harmony until an evil trickster named HighRoller arrived and fooled the animals into thinking humans were their enemies. Chaos reigned in the Hidden Kingdom until Commander ApeTrully formed a task force called Big Green to reunite the animals and humans while fighting the forces of High Roller and the Zebra Brothers. The storyline in a typical episode follows a formula, although the formula varies and several episodes depart from it: Commander ApeTrully goes on a mission to the castle of an animal kingdom to make peace and ask its inhabitants to Big Green, bringing a gift of gold as a token of goodwill. The animals generally dismiss the gift, and usually capture ApeTrully who calls for help from First Squad. of First Squad (usually everyone except Mr. No Hands, who does come along on occasion) deploy by descending through a maze of tubes and landing on turtles fitted with tank treads, and then are 195
• Commander ApeTrully (voiced by Ian James Corlett) - Commander ApeTrully is the eccentric, well-meaning leader of Big Green. Commander ApeTrully formed Big Green in hopes of restoring friendship between animals and humans. In most episodes, Commander ApeTrully would end up captured by the animals he visits when trying to make peace with them with piles of gold. When in danger, he activates the device on his head to call for First Squad. In "Parrot Castle", he is revealed to be the king of the Monkeys (Monkey King) in disguise as he was the first to see through HighRoller's lies, but keeps it a secret to preserve Big Green's morale (in his words, he does not want humans to know it was a monkey who led them). In "Shark Castle" and "Crab Castle", he would accompany First Squad to the underwater castles when riding in Sammo the Whale in order to make peace with the aquatic animals that way. His name is a joke referring to the fact that

CHAPTER 6. EUROPEAN AND NORTH AMERICAN-CO PRODUCTIONS he's an ape, truly. In the Chinese dub, he was named Song Chang and there was no explanation saying he was a monkey. Classified on the official website as Hero 001. The only thing he can do is use his monkey skills and use almost an endless supply of gold seen on every episode. In "The Rise of Lin Chung", it is shown that Commander ApeTrully owns a diamond that is larger than his body.
• Woo the Wise (voiced by Adrian Petriw) - Woo the Wise is a human inventor who was the first person to be convinced to Big Green. At some points, his robe tends to rise up. He wears a fake mustache to make himself look older. A running gag is that he says that he knows what he is doing, yet he really has no idea what to do in his head, thinking “My head is as empty as a balloon!". In a flashback that was seen in "Folk Game Competition II", he was a former classmate of HighRoller. In "Pitched Battle of the Air Force", Woo the Wise invented a special crystal that could assemble animals into one creature, which he did when he tested on four animals allied with Big Green (Elephant King, Peacock Queen, Octopus King, and Scorpion King) and later merged two hens, Snake King, Crocodile King, and Deer King into a Chimeric Dragon to fight High Roller's fake Black Dragon. In "The Bronze Giant", Woo the Wise makes up the blueprints for upgrading Big Green base into a mobile battle station and works on it with the other of Big Green. Classified on the official website as Hero 003. First Squad The Big Green's elite warriors. Among its are: • Mr. No Hands (voiced by Ian James Corlett) Classified as Hero 020, Mr. No Hands is the military leader of Big Green's First Squad though he does not go on missions as often as his teammates. He is a strict but kindhearted human who is easily irritated by the strong-willed warriors under his charge. The tassel of his hat is capable of spinning like a helicopter, allowing him to fly. The hat itself can shoot dangerous darts at his enemies. He keeps himself in a stockade because he cannot stop tickling himself if his hands were free, though Woo's attempt to cure No Hands leads him to now use the stockade to keep his hands from hitting anything in punching distance. Mr. No Hands was created during Hero 108's Chinese debut, but his ability to fly and his personality as a strict leader were never mentioned there. • Lin Chung (voiced by Andrew Francis) - Classified as Hero 006, Lin Chung is known by some as the most accomplished, most skilled warrior in all of Big Green. He possesses the legendary Panther Vision,
which allows him to see great distances, or to see the world in slow motion while he moves with speed. He wields a staff that can shoot edible bamboo shoots out at enemies. Lin Chung's also has his “Master Stroke”in his arsenal which is devastating to all enemies. This move involves a great leap into the air while spinning his staff. He catches the staff, which propels his full body into a spin, projecting him at his opponent with massive force which was proven in "Rabbit Castle". He has a hobby of drawing and sometimes dropping out of battles just to draw when he finds an inspiration like in the episode “Elephant Castle”. In reality, his drawings are awful, but his friends do not tell him that so he will not go into a state of depression up until Woo the Wise made a comment about art not being better than science in "Pitched Battle of the Air Force". His drawing skills got better as the series progressed. He is also an honorable member of the Air Force as he was the only member of First Squad to each of the tests required to assist the Air Force. If his First Squad team cannot find him, they know to look for Lin Chung in the bamboo forest where he mediates, calmly waiting standing on his staff for more bamboo shoots to grow because he is using them for ammunition. Unfortunately, he is often distracted from battle by an intriguing image that he feels he must paint. A gag in "Shark Castle" is that Lin Chung can create great art, but only unintentionally (like being distracted or by accident) which would get him frustrated. In the Chinese dub, he was unofficially credited as PantherEye in the Chinese CGI promos (possibly from the Panther Vision) and there was no explanation of him being an artist. He, ApeTrully and HighRoller are the only characters that had names which were changed. It is later revealed that Lin Chung was trained by Tien Kwan during the events of "The Rise of Lin Chung", gaining the ability to convert chaos energy into harmonious energy while named new leader of First Squad. The Harmonic energy has shown to make Lin Chung seemingly omnipotent, as he was shown to fly, breathe underwater, create air bubbles, generate force fields, use chlorokinesis (control over plants), shoot energy blasts from his body and undo the effects of chaotic energy, all through the power of his harmonic energy. In "The Yeti & Phoenix", it is revealed that every member of Big Green has harmonic energy, but Lin Chung is the only member who can channel and use it. In "Animals Inside", it is revealed that Lin Chung holds the Panther Spirit when he, Mighty Ray, and Mystique Sonia enter the Spirit Cave and are transformed into their inner animals. In this form, he es himself off as the Panther King in a plot to rescue Commander ApeTrully from HighRoller. • Jumpy Ghostface (voiced by Brian Drummond)
6.1. HERO: 108 - Classified as Hero 088, Jumpy Ghostface is the King of the Rabbits. He is a talented, straight-ahead fighter who dives headfirst into dangerous battles without flinching an ear. He may look cute as a bunny, but Jumpy is not the sort of animal you would want to meet in combat. He ed Big Green after being defeated in a jump rope battle. His weapon of choice is a jump-rope. He also uses carrots as weapons, either throwing them like shurikens or using them as grenades. He can wrap his ears around his head like a ninja mask. He also has a habit of daydreaming, even in the heat of battle. Whenever someone looks into Jumpy's swirling eyes when he's daydreaming, they end up in Jumpy's daydream. Jumpy Ghostface also has a soft spot for insects and will not let anyone harm them. Jumpy is slowly learning human language by attending classes with Parrot King at Big Green. He has an active imagination and his thought balloons often convey unique solutions to difficult problems mainly interpreted by Lin Chung. In “Ninja Fight,”it was shown that Jumpy Ghostface was selected to be successor of the previous Rabbit King instead of Spotter the Rabbit. In "Monster Castle", Twin Masters hit Jumpy Ghostface with his chaotic energies where the side effects caused Jumpy Ghostface to dream up dream versions of Bearstomp, Tri-Puppy (a Cerberus-like monster), and Moosey Ghostface (a moose monster) whenever he slept. Using a special machine built by Woo the Wise and Mr. No Hands, Jumpy was able to dream up a giant version of himself in order to sent the dream monsters back to the Dream World. As the chaotic energies in Jumpy wore off, Jumpy then said goodbye to his giant counterpart as it went back into the Dream World. He is also known to always hold a carrot in his mouth like a large cigar in the series. • Mystique Sonia (voiced by Kelly Sheridan) - Classified as Hero 103, Mystique Sonia is a tough, seasoned warrior. She is usually bickering with Mighty Ray. She can use her long tongue in battle to fight off enemies, using it like a whip and spinning it around to produce winds. Yaksha can also pull out a shard of ice which Mystique Sonia blows on it with her spinning tongue in order to produce strong and cold winds that freeze her opponents. She possesses seeds that grow freshly cooked buns when she spits on them for food. She can also play the flute. She likes flowers, decorations, and other pretty things. While powerful, she is also a total girl. It is not unheard of her for to take down Mighty Ray in a wrestling competition and then decide to redecorate the First Squad Briefing Room. Mystique Sonia is ired by many boy heroes, especially by the soldiers in the Big Green Army. The Sailor Brothers have a terrible crush on her as well. But woe to the one who tells Mystique Sonia he loves her. Since
197 she is cursed with a spell, anyone who tells her he loves her three times in a row turns into a Yaksha. Mystique Sonia has a soft spot in her heart for animals and is very fond of both Elephant and Panda Kings, as well as the Turtle Cannons. Sonia often feeds First Squad by growing magic buns. She has many different kinds of seeds that she throws on the ground. When Mystique Sonia spits on these seeds they instantly grow and provide various powers. Mighty Ray and Mystique Sonia have an interesting relationship. In "Animals Inside", it is revealed that Mystique Sonia holds the Swan Spirit when she, Lin Chung, and Mighty Ray enter the Spirit Cave and are transformed into their inner animals. In this form, she es herself off as the Swan Queen in a plot to rescue Commander ApeTrully from HighRoller. Mystique Sonia's swan form enables her to produce winds from her wings. In the Chinese CGI promos, there is no explanation showing her ability to stretch her tongue but it does explain that she grew buns. • Yaksha - Due to a spell cast on Mystique Sonia, anyone who declares their love for her three times turns into a Yaksha. Yaksha is a purple and pink creature which rests upon Mystique Sonia's head like a hat. It is also an extremely flexible and stretchable being shown to turn into various forms to aid Mystique Sonia like an accessory, a dress, and a trampoline. It can even extend its arms to propel Mystique Sonia forward. By putting Yaksha's eyes over her own eyes, Mystique Sonia can see heat and the body heat given of by animals. Curiously, this ability works on chameleons despite the fact that they do mot give off heat. Yaksha can also put his arms out like plane wings and if Mystique Sonia does her tongue attack from a short radius as if her tongue were a planes propeller, Mystique Sonia can fly. When Mystique Sonia gets mad at Yaksha for his jealousy as seen in "Scorpion Castle" and "Sheep Castle", he will usually rest on Mighty Ray's head. When Mystique Sonia is not mad at Yaksha, he usually gives her a rose. It is unknown who was the first to fall for Sonia, but in "Liger Castle", he was killed in action as a Yaksha. It was soon replaced by a new Yaksha who was once a Tank Army member and a devoted member of Mystique Sonia's fan club. In "Scorpion Castle", when Yaksha ate 100 buns he transformed into a robot-like Yaksha with Lin Chung for the head, Sonia and Jumpy for the hands, and Mighty Ray and Mr. No Hands for the legs. In the Chinese dub, references of Yaksha and Mystique Sonia's relationship were never mentioned and his voice is completely different from the North American dub.

CHAPTER 6. EUROPEAN AND NORTH AMERICAN-CO PRODUCTIONS
• Mighty Ray (voiced by Ian James Corlett) - Classified as 025, Mighty Ray is a warrior of First Squad. Mighty Ray was once a member of Mr. No Hands' giant foosball team. They were playing a match, but it was postponed as HighRoller, the Zebra Brothers, Bear Stomp and some of the toughest animal kings attacked the stadium. Mighty Ray defeated the animal kings, but the Zebra Brothers used their ghost lanterns to turn Mighty Ray's eyes to stone. Mr. No Hands took Mighty Ray to a temple where Commander ApeTrully took Mighty Ray to see a giant stone skeleton monkey,who traded his own eyes for Mighty Ray's eyes. He has the power to shoot electrical bolts of energy from his eyeballs. To recharge his eyeballs, Mighty Ray must eat more bananas which he dislikes. The reason Mighty Ray dislikes bananas is because when he first tried out his magical electrical eyeballs, he figured that the more bananas Mighty Ray eats at once,the more powerful his eyes get. But when Mighty Ray tried to defeat HighRoller (for payback on turning his original eyes to stone), Mighty Ray ate too many bananas, which overloaded his eyeballs causing bolts of electricity to fire every where. ApeTrully said Mighty Ray was lucky he didn't go blind.He can also form a giant eyeball and emit sonic waves to confuse his enemy as seen in "Rabbit Castle". His eyeballs are also removable. He is able to change the properties of the lightning by pressing on his left eye which allows him to shoot at single targets or at a whole group. Even though his energy bolts are his main attack, he is quite formidable at close range with his bare hands. He is intensely jealous of Lin Chung being praised as the finest warrior in First Squad and jumps at chances to best him. Mighty Ray also goes by the name of Mr. Comedy when performing all sorts of comedy. Mighty Ray is definitely the burly force of First Squad. More of a doer than a thinker, Mighty Ray takes great pride in being the right guy for any job even if he's actually not. However, his overzealous and sometimes inept nature can occasionally win the day. Mighty Ray enjoys loud burps, farts and bad comedy all of which are usually his own. His eyeballs can also be used as lanterns or thrown like grenades. Sometimes they pop out of his head and slide away, making them very difficult to find. Mighty Ray's signature yell is “I am Mighty Ray! Fear my eyeballs!" Mystique Sonia is the only member of First Squad who knows Mighty Ray is afraid of the dark as seen in "Crocodile Castle". One of the symbols on his eye seems to be " 電" or “Diàn”, meaning “electricity”. In the Chinese dub, he touches his eyeballs to charge them up to shoot instead of eating bananas. In "Animals Inside", it is revealed that Mighty Ray holds the Boar Spirit when he, Lin Chung, and Mystique Sonia enter the Spirit Cave and are transformed into their inner animals. In this form, he es himself off
as the Boar King in a plot to rescue Commander ApeTrully from High Roller. Mighty Ray's boar form involves him eating bananas in order to shoot electric bolts from his tusks. Second Squad The Big Green's secondary warriors. They are jealous of First Squad and constantly at odds with them to prove their worth. Among its are: • Alpha Girl Latifah (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain) - The brown-skinned Oni-like leader of Big Green's Second Squad with long black hair and sharp claws who serves as a rival to Mr. No-Hands. She wields a spiked club in battle. She is classified as Hero 101. • Golden Eye Husky (voiced by Brian Drummond) Golden Eye Husky is the King of the Ligers who became a member of Big Green's Second Squad after ing Big Green.

In Hero 108 online, he wields a staff. Classified as Hero 023. His major role outside of Second Squad was the second season premiere "The Rise of Lin Chung" serving as Lin Chung's replacement for First Squad, despite not being taken seriously that much. But as soon as he saw Lin Chung in combat, he grew a fond of First Squad and actually has a friendship with them but still goes jealous over their success. • Hurricane Lee (voiced by Scott McNeil) - A large, gray-skinned, powerfully built member of Big Green's Second Squad and brother of Archer Lee. He wields two axes in battle. It might be possible that he has a rivalry with Mystique Sonia. He doesn't speak until "Second to None". He is classified as Hero 022. • Archer Lee (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain in Season 1) - The blue-skinned, armored archery member of Big Green's Second Squad and brother of Hurricane Lee. It is possible that he might have a rivalry with Mighty Ray. Archer Lee and Golden Eye Husky are the only characters to be created during Hero 108's Chinese debut. He is classified as Hero 009. Big Green Air Force A part of Big Green's army that specializes in air battles. They dress in white and use large jet-shaped firecrackers as jets and giant afros inside their hats as air brakes and parachutes. Among the are:
6.1. HERO: 108 • Master Chou (voiced by Brian Drummond) Leader of Big Green's Air Force. He rides on the same plane as Burly.

Classified as Hero 065. • Mano - The member of Big Green's Air Force with an eyepatch. Classified as Hero 083. • Air Force Staff - The generic staff that serve the Air Force. Other • Red-Face Kwan (voiced by Eric Bauza) - Classified as Hero 005, he is a human that leads the Infantry of Big Green. He is named Red-Face Kwan because a crab is clamped on his bottom enhancing his anger. When the crab is removed, he makes a funny face as seen in "Lion Castle". He is a direct reference to Guan Yu. • Sailor Brothers (voiced by Brian Drummond) Three green-skinned brothers who head up Big Green's Navy. They have a habit of collecting string in order to make their fishing nets and are good ring throwers due to them always throwing life preservers to rescue drowning people. They have a major crush on Mystique Sonia. Classified as Heroes 028, 029 and 030. In "Strongest Punch & Kick,”the Sailor Brothers combine with Jumpy Ghostface to form a fighting formation in order to fight the Gorilla-Roo formation. • Rattle Diva (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain) - A geisha guitarist who loves to play for anyone she comes in with and hates those who upstage her during her concerts like when Mighty Ray and Mystique Sonia ruined her concert by getting on stage and performing with her in "Pandaffe Castle". She can also turn her dress into a rocker outlet and play heavy metal songs. She also wears a wig in her geisha appearance, but removes it when she appears in her rocker costume. She plays a pipa. • Sammo the Whale (voiced by Andrew Francis) Classified as Hero 044, Sammo is a whale that serves as transportation for Big Green and the Navy when it comes to missions at sea. His cowardice is what had
199 the other whales drive him away causing his tears to flood the planet. Commander ApeTrully convinced him to Big Green. Woo the Wise invented a device that attaches to Sammo the Whale where the Sailor Brothers ride in its artillery part while the others ride in Sammo's mouth. The episode “Pitched Battle of the Navies”revealed that someone once lit a fire in Sammo which created a soot deposit that partially blocked up his blowhole and majorly hindered his ability to play volleyball. This was cleared out by Lin Chung using one of Mystique Sonia's strength buns. • Wu Sung (voiced by Eric Bauza) - Wu Sung is the Big Green's dentist. He calls himself a dental warrior due to his dentist tools all being in a sword-like holder. He is the twin brother of the Dog King. He is classified as Hero 014. • Gardener Ching (voiced by Andrew Francis) - Big Green's gardener. He grows the large Calabash Gourds for the Tank Army's tanks and would often insult anyone in order to get the tears to help grow them as seen in "Chameleon Castle". Gardener Ching appeared in the original Hero: 108 lineup as well where instead of being a gardener, he can shoot laser eyes. • Origin Man - Origin Man is a caveman who was found frozen in a block of ice with a Tyrannosaurus by Twin Masters. Twin Masters thawed them out and used his chaotic energies on Origin Man and the Tyrannosaurus where he had them attack Big Green. Due to First Squad being more advanced than them, Origin Man and the Tyrannosaurus are defeated. After the Tyrannosaurus “sacrifices”its life to“eliminate”Twin Masters, Origin Man s up with Big Green (with his designation being Hero 070). • Lady Green - Classified as Hero 102, Lady Green is a female member of Big Green's navy who has never been defeated in battle before. • Yan Ching - A small aquatic humanoid whose strength makes up for his size. He and his kind were tricked by HighRoller into using their Jellyfish armor and a special elixir into ambushing First Squad in the ocean where their elixirs have shrunk First Squad enabling the Zebra Brothers to capture First Squad and hand them over to High Roller. After First Squad escaped, Yan Ching and his warriors went after them. When Lin Chung defeated Yan Ching, High Roller arrived to finish the job to make up for Yan Ching's “failure.”After helping First Squad to subdue Bearstomp, Yan Ching and his kind up with Big Green (with Yan Ching's designation being Hero 036). In "Demon Heartland", Yan
200
CHAPTER 6. EUROPEAN AND NORTH AMERICAN-CO PRODUCTIONS Ching spies on Twin Masters and informs Commander ApeTrully about Twin Master's heart. As First Squad and the Infantry head to the secret island where Twin Masters's heart is, Mystique Sonia had some doubts about Yan Ching. When First Squad, the Infantry, the Sea Elephants, and the Hermit Crabs were trapped in a cave with Twin Master's heart about to detonate, Yan Ching gets Sammo the Whale to help free them.
• Bronze Giant - When Twin Masters began to drain all life in Hidden Kingdom, Lin Chung suddenly was able to draw up the Bronze Giant which has the titular hero classification. Lin Chung was able to form the Bronze Giant by combining with the of Big Green, the Animal Kings and Queens, and the remaining animals on HighRoller's side. In battle, Bronze Giant used Gorilla King's punches, Jumpy Ghostface's jump-rope attacks, Mystique Sonia's wind attack, Bearstomp's pincher attack, Mighty Ray's eye lightning attack, Cheetah King's speed, Crab King shovel attack, Blowfish King's spinelaunching attack, Lizard King's beam attack, Scorpion King's tail attack, and Golden Eye Husky's fire breath. Using the harmonic energies of those who helped to formed the Bronze Giant, Lin Chung channels the combined energies and the Bronze Giant uses it to destroy Twin Masters. • The Tank Army - A part of Big Green's army consisting of metal glove-wearing soldiers that operate large Calabash Tanks. They are led by the Tank Commander (voiced by Andrew Francis) who is classified as Hero 085. They often accompany Commander ApeTrully on some of his missions to defend him in cases of attack. • Anti-Air Units - A part of Big Green that operates the Anti-Air Cannons in Big Green as seen in "Air Battle". They are led by the Air Defense Captain (voiced by Ian James Corlett). The soldiers resemble the soldiers in the Tank Army with different-colored armor. They also seem to like Lin Chung's bamboo shoots (which Lin Chung did not know that they can also be edible). Villains • Twin Masters (voiced by Scott McNeil) - The primary antagonist of the second season. Twin Masters is a two-toned demon who is HighRoller's master and uses him in his overall scheme to plunge the world into chaos. Twin Masters' head resembles a skull with small, glowing yellow pupils. On his right side, he is red and somewhat jagged, resembling lava and fire. On his left side, he is blue and wavy, resembling water and ice. His red half
speaks with a gruff voice, while his blue half speaks with a more shrill voice. Twin Masters was once a warrior prince named Yang Tu who wanted to take over Hidden Kingdom. Lin Chung tried to change Yang Tu's fate, but Yang Tu fell into a deep volcanic pit into the Earth. Yang Tu was trapped inside until he became Twin Masters and mastered the power of chaos. Among Twin Masters's powers is the manipulation of unstable chaos energy, making his attacks utterly destructive. A few of the animals know of him from legends, rarely appearing outside his cave until the actions of First Squad force him to reveal himself and take a more active role. In "The Return of the Pterodactyls", he commanded the bald eagles to drink the sap from the ancient trees of the Hidden Kingdom which turned them into pterodactyls. He also turned animals into monsters through schemes involving a storm while having Mighty Ray's eyeballs and later enchanting the Owl Amulet. He hypnotized Second Squad which means he has hypnosis powers. By the end of Season 2, Twin Masters gains water from the lake of Tai Chi and encases himself in a giant cocoon to assume a powerful form. His skull-like head becomes more luminescent red and blue. He also has a snake tail in place of legs, with spikes at the end of his tail. It took the combined abilities of Big Green and all the Animal Kings and Queens to form the Bronze Giant in order to destroy Twin Masters. • HighRoller (voiced by Brian Drummond) - The main antagonist of the first season and then a secondary antagonist of the second season. He was once a court jester who was banished from the Eastern Capital for insulting its emperor and wandered into the Hidden Lands. Upon getting struck by lightning, he gained the ability to communicate with animals and tricked them into thinking humans were their enemies. As the new Emperor of the East Citadel, HighRoller gets to do whatever he wants, and what he typically wants to do is attack humans (or get animals to attack humans for him), eat candy, read comic books, and play games.* [10] A flashback in "Folk Game Competition II" revealed that he was a classmate of Woo the Wise. HighRoller is also the master of the Folk Game Competition and these skills actually translate to the battlefield in dangerously unexpected ways. For the first Folk Game Competition he held, HighRoller held it to distract everyone from the traffic. He later held the second Folk Game Competition as a diversion for the Zebra Brothers to eliminate all the books, since he hated studying as a child. He once beat Jumpy Ghostface in the first Folk Game Competition (by cheating), but the second one against Lin Chung ended in a draw when HighRoller discovered that the Zebra Brothers also took his comic books. Combining this with the fact that he likes to play dirty makes
6.1. HERO: 108 HighRoller a formidable opponent for even the most skilled of First Squad, as even Lin Chung can have a hard time trying to stop him one time when HighRoller combined with Bearstomp to form the High-Stomp formation as seen in "Firework Festival at East Citadel" and "Strongest Punch & Kick". In Season 2, he is the servant of his master Twin Masters as seen in "The Rise of Lin Chung". In the Chinese dub, HighRoller was Kao Chao and his origin was different as in the Chinese version, he was the true emperor until a magic arrow shot his head stealing his ability to speak English but gaining the ability to speak animal language instead. In the Romanian dub, he was renamed Sportiflex. • The Zebra Brothers (voiced by Adrian Petriw and Brian Drummond) - Two Zebra twins that serve High Roller and the secondary antagonists of the series. Sparky Black is a black zebra with grey stripes and Sparky White is a white zebra with black stripes. It has been shown that they, like Commander ApeTrully, were students of Parrot King; however, the Parrot King did say that they were his worst students (because they always goofed off in class). In almost all of the episodes, they are usually the ones who incite the animals to oppress the humans. In most cases, they stay out of fights between First Squad and the animals. However, once a month, when the moon is full, they use their most powerful weapons called the Ghost Lanterns. The Ghost Lanterns are paper lanterns on sticks that gives the Zebra Brothers supernatural powers ranging from merging to form a giant version of themselves, creating an army of zebra clones, create zebra-type mosquitoes, or getting their victims to face their biggest fears. Although in one episode, it was shown that the Zebra Brothers can twirl their lanterns and use them to fly, even without the full moon. In most episodes like "Cat Castle" and "Snake Castle", they end up in the same predicament as Commander ApeTrully. In the final battle against Twin Masters, the Zebra Brothers Big Green to help form the Bronze Giant. Once Twin Masters is destroyed by Bronze Giant, the Zebra Brothers and Bearstomp leave with HighRoller to return to East Citadel. • Bearstomp - Bearstomp is the armored King of the Bears who wears a helmet with a cannon on it. He acts as HighRoller's bodyguard. He is often shown blowing nose bubbles while asleep. One of his arms has been replaced with a retractable winch/pincher (suggesting that he may have been injured in battle). It is unknown as to how he acquired such a device, but it seems likely that HighRoller gave it
201 to him as an incentive to enslave humans and become a prominent leader of HighRoller's army. In "Firework Festival at East Citadel" and "Strongest Punch & Kick", Bearstomp is shown to have the ability to combine with High Roller to form the “High-Stomp”formation which allows High Roller to be much tougher. In "Gladiators" Bearstomp is among those who were captured by the Minotaur's minions. First Squad and Bearstomp had to work together to escape the Minotaur. When Lin Chung offered Bearstomp to switch to their side, Bearstomp just hits Mighty Ray and returns to East Citadel. Although Lin Chung stated that Bearstomp is their enemy, he was their ally in the battle against the Minotaur. In“The Bronze Giant,”Bearstomp s Big Green to help form the Bronze Giant (classified as Hero 052). Once Twin Masters is destroyed by Bronze Giant, Bearstomp and the Zebra Brothers leave with HighRoller to return to East Citadel. • The Soldiers of Darkness - A group of animalhating humans who want revenge on the animal community. They kidnapped the Parrots from Parrot Castle under the orders of their leader, the Commander of Darkness (voiced by Scott McNeil in Season 2). According to Parrot King, the Soldiers of Darkness leave skull marks wherever they go. Jumpy Ghostface and Parrot King accidentally discover their underground base where they are captured and brought to the Commander. They try to reason with the Commander but he does not care if they have reformed. During this encounter, Jumpy Ghostface blows out the candle the Commander of Darkness wears on his hat, revealing the Commander has nyctophobia (a fear of the dark which Jumpy & Parrot King find funny). The Commander imprisons Jumpy and Parrot King, but they and the other Parrots are freed by the Zebra Brother's and their Zebra Clone Army (Jumpy & Parrot King however are captured by the Zebra Clones). The Zebra Clones knock over the Commander's candles, causing him to order a retreat. While they are fleeing it is revealed that there are only 6 Soldiers of Darkness (including the Commander). After being defeated and losing their Zebra Clone Army to the Butterflies, the Zebra Brothers run into the Commander and Soldiers of Darkness, who take out their anger on the pair. In "Revenge of the Commander of Darkness", the Soldiers of Darkness entrap a Giant Centipede and harvest its earwax in order for the Commander of Darkness to assume the form of Koala King and for his soldiers to be modified to be larger and have extra arms. When Commander ApeTrully and First Squad find out that Koala King was replaced by the Commander of Darkness, Lin Chung, Jumpy

Once Koala King is rescued, the Soldiers of Darkness are defeated as the Commander of Darkness is forcefully dragged away by the Giant Centipede. In "Enter the Dragon", the Commander of Darkness gets a hold of some dragons and uses them to capture Mystique Sonia in order to force her to be his fellow Commander causing First Squad and the Air Force to go after her. Using her flute, Mystique Sonia charms a dragon which she uses to defeat the Commander of Darkness. The Commander of Darkness then surrenders and is used as a partner for Porcupine King's quillshooting act.
leave, the other Rabbits were rescued. • Minotaur - A Minotaur resided in a labyrinth that contained a gladiator arena as seen in “Gladiators.”In battle, the Minotaur can elongate his horns. The Minotaur's minions captured First Squad, Bearstomp, and some other warriors to fight for his entertainment. After Jumpy Ghostface discovered the power source for the control collars, Lin Chung destroyed the collars enabling the captives to escape and navigate through the labyrinth. After defeating the Minotaur's minions, the Minotaur attacked the group. Lin Chung managed to hold off the Minotaur while the others got out of the collapsing labyrinth. Upon emerging from the rubble, Lin Chung thinks the Minotaur was vanquished in the cave-in. After the group leaves, the Minotaur emerges from the rubble.
• Cocky Aliens - A race of aliens who can only be defeated by being kicked 100 times (which leads to the invention of the game Shuttlecock) after which they turn into fruit (explaining the origin of pineapples, • Bounty Hunters - Two unnamed bounty hunters grapes, tomatoes, and watermelons). They are enehired by Twin Masters to capture First Squad and to mies of the Cheetahs as they were the ones who inmake up for HighRoller's failure. One bounty hunter vented Shuttlecock. In "Cheetah Castle", a Cocky is a sword-wielding lion-like bounty hunter where Alien in a large alien suit crashed First Squad's the lion-like head on his chest can extend out in batShuttlecock contest against the Cheetahs by abducttle.

When High Roller, the Zebra Brothplanned much to the disappointment of Twin Masers, and Bearstomp are defeated, the Cocky Aliens ters. end up possessing the other First Squad . Lin Chung pretended to get hit in order for him to get them to leave the bodies of First Squad. Lin Animals Chung, the Cheetah King, and Cheetah Queen then kick them 100 times and reduce them to fruits. • Turtles - The Turtles ride on tank treads to serve as transportation for First Squad and Second Squad • Spotter the Rabbit - Spotter is a Rabbit who when they were the first animals to Big Green. competed against Jumpy Ghostface to be the RabThey are classified as Hero 075. Some turtles are ofbit King's successor. Rabbit King selected Jumpy ten seen wearing cannons on their backs. The TurGhostface to be his successor instead of Spotter tles come in different sizes from tank size to the size the Rabbit causing Sparta to leave. Upon training of roller skates. The Turtle King is the head of the with some bad guys and mastering the full human Turtles and does not like it when the other Turtles language, Spotter befriended the Mantis army and are bullied by anyone like the time when Mighty they invade Rabbit Castle where he captures all the Ray insulted his Turtle for being too fat causing the Rabbits leaving one to let Jumpy Ghostface know other Turtles to attack him with their cannons as that he is back. While First Squad and the Beetles seen in "Rhino Castle". When Mr. No Hands asks, fought the Mantis Army, Jumpy Ghostface dueled Turtle King states that “when a turtle is hurt by a with Spotter the Rabbit. After Spotter the Rabbit friend, the pain of the betrayal gives a tear strength was repelled and the Mantis Army also takes their to travel many miles, then the Turtles will always
6.1. HERO: 108 rush to the aid of a crying comrade.”When not transporting First Squad to the scene where Commander ApeTrully is in trouble, they are often used in the Turtle Cannon Competitions between First Squad and Second Squad. In "Big Baby Turtles", the turtles associated with First Squad get exhausted while pursuing the Zebra Brothers after they stole the Owl Amulet from the Owls. First Squad decide to give the Turtles a vacation, but they run away from Big Green upon mishearing First Squad. The Turtles find the Zebra Brothers enabling them to give HighRoller and Twin Masters the idea to use the Owl Amulet's powers to turn the Turtles into their monstrous forms complete with fire-breathing abilities. High Roller and the Zebra Brothers disguise themselves as of First Squad in order to trick the monstrous Turtles. Due to Mighty Ray having eaten a turtle egg at that time, he slowly turned into a Turtle causing First Squad to call in Kowloon to cover for Mighty Ray. When the monstrous Turtles attack a village, First Squad and Kowloon had to fight them. With the help of Mighty Ray's turtle form, First Squad and Kowloon had to reason with the monstrous Turtles. HighRoller attacked Mighty Ray enough for him to spit out the egg he swallowed from which a baby turtle hatched from and saw Mighty Ray as its mother. The monstrous Turtles then turn against HighRoller after he caused the baby turtle to fall on its back while attacking Ray. Lin Chung destroys the Owl Amulet breaking the spell on them. • Rabbits - The Rabbits were the first seen by the audience where they capture Commander ApeTrully when he found out that the Rabbits like candy rather than carrots. They had him wear a carrot costume and jump rope. They use jump ropes for attacks and even have a bad-smelling belch attack. When Mystique Sonia and Mighty Ray end up captured upon being knocked out by the Rabbit's belching and end up in the same position as Commander ApeTrully, Lin Chung came to their rescue enabling Mighty Ray and Mystique Sonia to turn the tides against the Rabbits. Their leader Jumpy Ghostface (also known as the Rabbit King) went up against First Squad in a jump-rope battle. After being defeated, Jumpy Ghostface s Big Green as a member of First Squad. In "Ninja Fight", it was revealed that there was a previous Rabbit King who selected Jumpy Ghostface to be his successor instead of Spotter the Rabbit causing Sparta to leave. Rabbit Castle was later attacked by Spotter the Rabbit and his Mantis allies where he captures all the Rabbits leaving one to let Jumpy Ghostface know that he is back. While First Squad and the Beetles fought the Mantis Army, Jumpy Ghostface dueled with Spotter the Rabbit. After Spotter the Rabbit was repelled and the Mantis Army also takes their leave, the other
203 Rabbits were rescued. • Bears - The Bears are one of the allies of HighRoller with some of them serving as HighRoller's Infantry. Seeing as the Bears were valuable to HighRoller, he once wagered to give up Bear Castle to Big Green if they won as seen in "Folk Game Competition". The Bears come in many different colors and some of them wear occasional clothing. Bearstomp is the king of the bears. They apparently have good driving skills as they pilot Duck Cars and stolen Big Green tanks with ease. The Bears are also good at Table Soccer as it was seen in "Table Soccer Competition" where Commander ApeTrully and First Squad had a hard time knocking the Bears off the poles and winning the game. • Elephants - The Elephants use their long noses to attack in which they become deflated and must be re-inflated. The Elephant King enjoys blowing party whistles. First Squad went up against Elephant King in a contest to blow the largest party whistle. When First Squad managed to do that, Elephant King collapsed upon this reaction. After having his heart restarted by Mighty Ray's eyeball attacks, Elephant King s Big Green (classified as Hero 105) where he operates an air conditioner-like device the helps all of Big Green stay cool in the summer, but gives Mighty Ray a cold. In "Camel Castle II", Lin Chung brought Elephant King to Camel Castle to unflatten the other First Squad . In "Elephant Castle II", Elephant King learns about creativity from Mystique Sonia during his job. While out on his walk trying to find his creativity, the Zebra Brothers lied to Elephant King that First Squad and Big Green are mistreating him causing Elephant King to return to Elephant Castle and have the humans make tanks for the Elephants. When Commander ApeTrully gets captured trying to get Elephant King back, First Squad had to get Elephant King back without Lin Chung (who came down with a cold from too much cold air). Due to Jumpy Ghostface deflecting the Elephant's water attack, the Elephants ended up getting muddy enough for Mystique Sonia to use her tongue attack to blow off the mud when combined with the Elephant's spinning trunks. The Zebra Brother's deception were exposed causing Elephant King to send them flying toward the angry people the Elephants oppressed. Elephant King used his creativity to mix different flavors when blowing air throughout Big Green. In "Pitched Battle of the Air Force", Elephant King alongside Peacock Queen, Octopus King, and Scorpion King were used as test subjects for Woo the Wise's crystal Rubik's Cube-like invention. In "Big Baby Turtles", Elephant King auditions as a stand-in for the Turtles and is rejected due to him being too heavy for the Turtle's tank treads. In "The Bronze Giant", Elephant

• Ligers - The hides of the Ligers are tough enough for attacks to not harm them. They first are shown tricking Commander ApeTrully and the Tank Army and capturing them. They also burn away Mystique Sonia's Yaksha with their fire breath, which later comes back because a member of the Tank Army told Sonia he loved her three times. They have a pride in throwing rings when their leader Golden Eye Husky challenged First Squad to a ringthrowing competition. Though he beat First Squad, he is defeated in the ring-throwing competition by the Sailor Brothers. The Ligers Big Green where Golden Eye Husky becomes a member of Second Squad. • Camels - The Camels enjoy drawing and use their stinky spit as a weapon. The Camels captured Commander ApeTrully during his mission and use him as a model for their drawing. When it came to their fight with First Squad, their spit ended up causing First Squad to retreat. With help from Woo the Wise and the Air Force, the Camels ended up eating gum that did not make their spit smell bad. First Squad then confronts the Camel King. After being amazed by Lin Chung's drawing, Camel King s Big Green (classified as Hero 046) where he becomes an art teacher to Lin Chung and draws up maps for Big Green. In "Eagle Castle", it opens with Camel King painting a picture of Commander ApeTruly in the desert. When ApeTrully tries his first attempt to make peace with the Eagles, Camel King warns him to be careful. In "Pitched Battle of the Tank Army", he tells Lin Chung to add more life to his drawings. In "Camel Castle II", Camel King has a vision of the cosmos following a hit on the head which gives him the inspiration to beat Lin Chung by painting a modern art picture of Mystique Sonia. Camel King declares his superiority and leaves Big Green to have the Camels show their art superiority to humans. This time, the Camels modified themselves with cactus launchers and paint cannons when driving away the humans. Commander ApeTrully had to call the Infantry to protect the humans from the Camels. When Commander ApeTrully fails to get Camel King back who uses Commander ApeTrully as a model again, First Squad had to try to get to Camel King without Lin Chung. When First Squad is trapped under a rock pushed by the Camels, the Turtle Tanks informed Lin Chung of this.

6.2 The Cramp Twins The Cramp Twins is a British/Canadian/American animated series created by cartoonist Brian Wood. The show was produced by Sunbow Entertainment and TVLoonland AG in association with Cartoon Network Europe. This is the final television series to be produced by Sunbow Entertainment (which was worked on the Sunbow Productions animated series based on Hasbro properties) before the company was shut down in 2003. It is about Wayne Cramp (Tom Kenny) and Lucien Cramp (Kath Soucie), not-so identical twin brothers who live with their hygiene-obsessed mother (Nicole Oliver) and their Western-obsessed father (Ian James Corlett) in the fictional town of Soap City. Wayne and Lucien's personalities clash, and they rarely get along. Wayne has a friend called Dirty Joe (Lee Tockar), who owns a dump, and neighbour Wendy Winkle (Jayne Peterson) has a crush on him, but he hates her. Wayne's and Lucien's teacher is Miss. Hillary Hissy (Demi Buchanan, who also plays Tony's mom Lily and Mrs. Winkle). Lucien's friends include environment-friendly Tony Parsons (Terry Klassen, who also plays Tony's dad, Seth) and Mari and Luke Harrison (Adam Little). The Season 1 premiered in the United Kingdom in September 2001 on Cartoon Network UK and on February 2, 2002 on CBBC and BBC One respectively and has reached high popularity with children; the season ended on 21 June 2002. The Season 2 premiered in Summer 2003 and finished in Autumn of the same year. The Season 3 started in 2004 and ended in 2005. The Season 4 (also finale) began in 2006 and ended that same year but still airing in the UK. The show is currently licensed to Cartoon Network. It also showed in some parts of Africa. The show was originally cancelled in the US, when Mew Mew Power (aka Tokyo Mew Mew) was airing in its slot on February 19, 2005. This was originally intended to be a sneak peek for the series to air September 2005 with The Cramp Twins continuing to air in its original slot. However 4Kids TV decided to cancel The Cramp Twins to put Mew Mew Power in its slot. A press release went out about a possible 3-part finale answering any unanswered questions, but the show returned in the summer of 2006, and later with more new episodes.
6.2.1
Main characters
• Wayne Cramp (voiced by Tom Kenny) is the blueskinned protagonist of the series. He is the younger
219 of the twins, but he is taller than Lucien, very energetic & descriptive, and the least intelligent of the two. Wayne likes his older twin brother Lucien, but he is no above ing forces with him whenever they have a problem that neither of them handle too well. Wayne is obsessed with junk, which he collects and hides in his room; he spends most of his time at the junkyard, owned by his friend, Dirty Joe Muldoon. Unlike Lucien, who loves the swamp, Wayne is terrified of the place, and also has a fear of frogs. Wayne's only love is anything sugary, his main source of energy, and if he is deprived from it, he becomes tired and speaks nonsense. Wayne likes to give the impression that he's the best-behaved of the twins to his mother, and sometimes Miss Hissy, but in truth, he likes to manipulate to achieve his goals. • Lucien Cramp (voiced by Kath Soucie) is Wayne's older twin brother, as the opening credits indicate. Lucien is the smarter of the twins, but also considered the 'eco-loser'. Despite being the older twin, Lucien is often teased by most kids. Lucien enjoys science, nature and is a vegetarian. Lucien longs for a pet, either a cat or a dog, but due to his mother's extreme cleaniliness rules, he cannot have either one. To combat this, Lucien secretly keeps a worm farm under his bed, that only Tony, Mari, Wayne and Wendy know about; his mom and dad are unaware that he has it. It is shown in many episodes that Lucien has a fear of clowns. He has many skills, including knitting, and has shown interest in playing the harp. Lucien likes going to Soap City's only swamp (the only place he gets peace from Wayne, who is afraid of the place) where Tony lives. • Dorothy Cramp (born O'Neil) (voiced by Nicole Oliver), is the yellow-skinned short-tempered mother to the twins, and wife of Horace Cramp. She is a complete germaphobe and neat freak. Her love of cleanliness is a major joke in the show. She once raided the twins' rooms and husband's storage to check their cleanliness, which resulted in her kicking them out of the house due to Wayne's junk, Lucien's mud for his worms, and Horace's Rodeo Rita picture. She is something of a scientist by way of cleaning products, for she often mixes home-made cleaning formulas to seek out the strongest germ-killer. She has a crush on fellow clean-freak Agent X, who is suspected by Lucien, to be an alien. • Horace Cramp (voiced by Ian James Corlett) is the green-skinned dim-witted father of Wayne and Lucien and husband of Dorothy Cramp. He works at the local soap and cleaner products factory. He is also a third-rate cowboy, being obsessed with“cowgirl”Rodeo Rita, much to his wife's disapproval. He is always fruitlessly trying to impress his boss, Mr.

in many episodes) the brother of Mr. Parson and therefore descended from the swamp.
• Tony Parsons (voiced by Terry Klassen) is Lucien's best friend (although they have been known to fall out) and a swamp child. He possesses a vast knowledge about the swamp, its people's traditions, and natural history. He has many brothers and sisters. Tony's dad's name is Seth and his mom's is Lily. Tony is extremely short (about 1 ft tall) and finds it hampers his day-to-day life, e.g. riding a bicycle, but uses equipment to aid him, e.g. he wears a flag-meet-helmet whilst riding his speciallydesigned bike so other road s can see him. Apart from this, Tony's height doesn't seem to effect his self-esteem. He, Mari & Wendy are Lucien's only friends. A running gag in the show is Tony's belief in supernatural things, like magic.
• Hillary Hissy: Hillary (Miss Hissy) is Wayne's, Lucien's, Wendy's and Mari's oversized teacher. She hates Wayne and a friend of Dirty Joe. They were thought to be dating once, but it turned out she was only tutoring him. Miss Hissy has also been shown to have a crush on Mr Cramp (Wayne and Lucien's father). She is very unlikeable and her teaching methods usually involve bullying her students. Her catch-phrase is “toute suite”. In one episode it is revealed she was a Karate expert and does Martial Arts. She owns a long stick with bells on it (called 'The Crank') and threatens students into behaving by shaking it in an aggressive manner, inevitably to hit them.
• Wendy Winkle (voiced by Jayne Paterson) is the only daughter of Walter Winkle, a prosperous & bubbly girl who has an obvious crush on Wayne. Despite being rich, she is not a spoiled brat but rather charitable & kind. This is a major theme in the series and she tries everything to win his heart, yet unsuccessfully, but Wayne cares for her as a friend. Wendy also likes Lucien due to his gentleness & sensitivity. • Mari Phelps (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain) is Lucien's other friend. She often co-operates with Lucien on his environment-conserving efforts, but often can't help desiring a bit of power. She is a foster child and is looked after by a happiness-obsessed, brown-haired family with strange customs. She is the black sheep of her foster family and is often embarrassed by their habits. Lucien briefly had a crush on Mari when she felt sorry for him during a time he felt certain he would never have a girlfriend, but nothing came of it. However, they remained good friends. (Alternative spelling: Marie.)
6.2.2
Major characters
• Dirty Joe Muldoon: An middle-aged man who lives in a trailer and Wayne's best friend. He is an unseen character (except for a hand and part of his clothes). According to an episode, he has never bathed or showered in his life, but he showers for the first time in his life when he comes to live with the Cramps. • Walter Winkle: Mr Cramp's boss and Wendy's father. He owns the city's soap-producing factory. He is a very unlikeable man who practically owns the town, since many of the residents work for him and don't dare to cross him. The only person he obeys is his spoiled-brat of a daughter. He is (as is hinted
• Seth Parsons: Toni's father and a swamp person. He and the Parson family live near the swamp. His wife is Lily (who did not appear until later episodes). In the 3rd episode, “The Bad Seed”, it is shown that, in the western era, he was the outlaw Bad Seed's sidekick Little Hat in his childhood (he looked like and was the same size as Toni, Little Hat wears a cowboy outfit and has a hat that covers his head, The Bad Seed wears a cowboy outfit and a mask). It is also shown The Bad Seed is someone who looks like Lucien - possibly Mr Cramp or an ancestor of the Cramps. • Mr. Pretty: A “friend”of Wayne and Lucien's. (his mom bullied Dorothy Cramp, his father bullied Horace Cramp). In the European version he is the overly peppy principal of the school, whose methods to an extent annoy the Cramps. He is often quick to blame Miss Hissy for his own incompetence. • Lillian “Lily”Parsons: Seth's wife and the mother of Toni and his siblings. Lucien once had a crush on her, much to Tony's annoyance. • Vinnie Phelps: Mari's dad. He worked as a barber in his first appearance and then as the vice principal of the school (he is neither in the European version, instead an optician). • Principal Earlington Richard Quartermaine: Earlington is the principal of the school and Hillary's boss. He was Mrs. Phelps' ex-boyfriend. He is absent from the European version, and has never appeared. • Agent X: is a mysterious cleaning agent. There is evidence to he is an undercover spy, e.g/ he gave Mr Cramp a suitcase containing “spy protection gear”. Episode “Alien Glow”also suggests he is an alien.

6.4.1 Plot Robotboy is the latest creation of the world renowned scientist Professor Moshimo. Due to fears that Robotboy would be stolen by his arch-enemy Dr. Kamikazi and his main henchman Constantine to be used to take over the world, Professor Moshimo entrusts Robotboy to 10year-old Tommy Turnbull, his biggest fan. While being protected by Tommy and his two friends Lola and Gus, or “G-Man”as he calls himself, Robotboy learns how to behave and act as if he were a real boy.

CHAPTER 6. EUROPEAN AND NORTH AMERICAN-CO PRODUCTIONS
• Augustus “Gus"/"G-Man”Turner - Tommy's funny, sometimes rude, self-centered, and neurotic best friend. • Lola Mbola - Tommy's unofficial girlfriend who has discreet romantic feelings for him. • Robotgirl - A super fighting robot just like Robotboy, who was introduced in the episode of the same name “Robot Girl”and her last appearance was in “The Return of Robotgirl”. She quickly made good friends with Robotboy and was only seen superactivated twice, both times in episode “Robotgirl”. In the first place, she had to be convinced by Moshimo to use her ultimate powers, otherwise she would never see her friends again. In “The return of Robotgirl”she was brought back to Tommy with a distress message by Moshimo, she could not be activated until she was repaired by Tommy and she suffered from a major memory loss, but was convinced by Lola to use her emotions in favour of the kids' team. In the end she was defeated in a fight against Protoboy and then was saved by Robotboy. • Dr. Kamikazi - A small old man with thick glasses and a suit/bathrobe combo who is a self-proclaimed evil genius and the main antagonist of the show. He wishes to capture Robotboy to create a template for an army of super robots, with which he will be able to achieve his dastardly goal of world domination. Most of his henchmen have a large letter K on their uniforms, to show that they are on Dr. Kamikazi's side. He has had many pets, ranging from snakes to cats, but they usually hurt him.
• Kurt - A sadistic bully at Tommy's school, he has blonde hair and wears a hat. He constantly bullies Gus and Tommy, as well as any other kid he finds. His dad is a spy who has used Kurt to try and capture Robotboy. Tommy sometimes has outsmarted Kurt and his cronies by outwitting them, usually with Robotboy. • Björn Bjornson - An evil boy who is about Tommy's age and claims to be a greater genius than professor Moshimo. He has his own prototype robot named Brother Björn or Bjorn-Bot. Both were first introduced in the episode of the same name - “Brother Björn”. Their mission is to destroy Moshimo's creation - Robotboy, so Bjorn-Bot would remain the only fighting robot in the world. • Protoboy - Robotboy's evil brother, who was created by Moshimo in his earlier years, but later stolen by young Kamikazi and Constantine and turned too evil to control. He was then forcibly deactivated by Constantine and stored in a large storage room inside of Kamikazi's quarters in Kaziland until he was saved by Robotboy. His first appearance was in episode “Brother”, but he returned in episode “The Old Switcharobot”and was later permanently destroyed by Robotboy in “The Return of Robotgirl”- the last episode of the series. He also has the ability to superactivate just like Robotboy, but the gun built into his left hand is static and cannot be switched with a pakm or another gun type. Robotboy was seen superactivated in Protoboy's body in “The old swticharobot”but his gun was damaged because Protoboy (in Robotboy's body) had removed some of its parts prior to the body switch.
• Constantine - A fat hunchbacked hitman of Dr. Kamikazi who also is a master of sumo wrestling (though it is unknown if he has ever been a 6.4.3 Production crew yokozuna, or“grand champion”).

Ten years later, the main characters of the series stumble upon the wreckage of the Storm Hawks' carrier, the Condor, and unofficially take on the Storm Hawks name in the hopes of becoming Sky Knights themselves, despite not being old enough to even legally fly the vehicle.* [1] Their youth defeats their ambition, however, as neither friend nor foe take them seriously because of it. This changes when they are brought into conflict with a new Master Cyclonis, granddaughter of the previous one. Among her followers are the Dark Ace, the man who betrayed the original Storm Hawks and now serves Cyclo-

Premise
235 son 3 is used mainly to make the The Clone Wars series more cohesive as these first episodes created better chronology, setting themselves in and amongst the previous two seasons' episodes. The second half of both seasons, Anakin steps a little closer to the dark side. Meanwhile, the Sith experience turmoil amongst themselves. Season 5 is unique in that it consists of 5 four-part story arcs, 3 of which center on Ahsoka's character development. Meanwhile, the Separatists gain more ground, and the story of an old villain who has returned concludes. Season 6 explores topics that are crucial in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, namely the creation of the clones and the details behind Order 66. Chancellor Palpatine gains even more power, and Yoda dives deeper into the nature of the force. On December 5, 2011, a full-length feature cut of the Season 3 trilogy episodes (“Nightsisters,”“Monster,” and “Witches of the Mist”) was released for on iTunes as an uninterrupted movie* [21] that was previously shown at selected screenings in 2010. The three episodes were written by Katie Lucas, who had previously written the Season 1 episode “Jedi Crash”and the Season 3 episodes “Sphere of Influence”and “Assassin.” A repeat of season one aired in “decoded”episode format. Each installment contained unobtrusive text windows giving supplemental information about the characters and events playing out on screen.* [22]

Many of the episodes are stand-alone, but a common thread throughout the season is that the Republic and the Separatists attempt to convince various planets and races to side with them. In Season 2, the Sith resort to hiring bounty hunters and mercenaries to steal objects and intel or to assassinate targets for them. Meanwhile, the Jedi lead the Republic forces in an assault on the primary battle droid manufacturing facility. The first half of both Season 3 and Season 4 are diplomatic in nature; Season 3, in particular, has many stories that take place away from the battlefield. How different races and planets are affected by the galaxy-wide war are shown, as well as how the Republic Senate can make a bigger difference than even the Jedi Council at times.

is the longest running original series on the network. As of August 2013, Adult Swim is available to approximately 98,671,000 pay television households (86.4% of households with television) in the United States.* [2]
Adult Swim (stylized as [adult swim] or [as]) is an American cable network that shares channel space with Cartoon Network, both of which are owned by Turner Broadcasting System, a division of Time Warner, Inc., 7.1.1 History every night from 8:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. ET/PT in the United States. The network is programmed by Williams See also: Space Ghost Coast to Coast Street Studios, a division of Turner Broadcasting System, Cartoon Network's original head programmer Mike which also developed two prior television programming blocks seen on Cartoon Network, Toonami (which later became a block on Adult Swim) and Miguzi. Debuting as a programming block on Cartoon Network in 2001, much of the network's general content is known for its risqué, unorthodox and often bizarre presentation, while many of the series features are developed in stark contrast with traditional American television programs. The network was granted its own Nielsen ratings report due to differing target demographics, and broadcasts in countries such as Australia and New Zealand.* [1] The block features stylistically varied animated and liveaction shows including original programming, syndicated series, short films, OVAs, and Japanese anime, generally with minimal or no editing for content. The name comes from a phrase used by public swimming pools to label designated times when children are restricted from using the facilities in favor of adults – “Adult Swim”. In the United States, Adult Swim has, over the course of its history, frequently cycled through and aired either recent or older features of adult animation, Japanese anime, mockumentaries, and sketch comedy, among many other programs consisting of pilots and their subsequent, short-lived series and numerous spin-offs, and shows that have sexual themes, frank sexual discussion, nudity, strong language, and graphic violence. While the network features trendy comedies and dramas of all types, many of its programs could be considered aesthetically experimental, transgressive, improvised, and surreal in nature. Adult Swim has contracted with various studios such as Williams Street, Augenblick Studios and PFFR, all of which are notable for their productions in absurd and shock comedy. As of 2015, Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Lazzo conceived* [3] (and continues to operate) Adult Swim. The network grew out of Cartoon Network's previous attempts at airing content appropriate for young adults who might be watching the channel after 11 p.m. (ET). The network began experimenting with its late night programming by airing anthology shows like ToonHeads and Late Night Black and White, both of which presented uncensored classic cartoon shorts. Space Ghost Coast to Coast, one of Cartoon Network's first forays into original programming, was created in 1994 specifically for late night audiences. The series was created by Mike Lazzo's Ghost Planet Industries, which eventually became Williams Street Studios, the eventual producers and programmers of Adult Swim.

7.1. ADULT SWIM During early mornings in December 2000 (while Space Ghost Coast to Coast was on hiatus), several new Williams Street series made unannounced “stealth”premieres. Sealab 2021, Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and The Brak Show all premiered unannounced;* [4]* [5] the official schedules listed the shows as “Special Programming”.* [6] Adult Swim officially launched on September 2, 2001 with the debut airing of the Home Movies episode “Director's Cut”,* [7] which was shelved before airing on its original network, UPN. It would become increasingly common for Adult Swim to burn off episodes of shows that never finished airing on its original network such as the Family Guy episode "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" and the rest of the respective first seasons of The WB sitcoms Mission Hill, Baby Blues, and The Oblongs, all in 2002. The first anime broadcast on Adult Swim also aired on the night of its launch, Cowboy Bebop.* [8]* [9] The block initially aired on Sunday nights, with a repeat of the same block on Thursday nights. The name comes from a phrase used by public swimming pools to label designated times when children are restricted from using the facilities in favor of adults – “Adult Swim”.
241 Futurama's exclusive cable syndication rights in March 2002 for a reported $10 million,* [14] and the series first aired on the network in January 2002.* [15] In 2006, Twentieth Television struck a deal to produce four directto-video animated features based on Futurama, and, in 2009, the series was revived in normal half-hour installments beginning in 2010 on Comedy Central.* [13] In a 2006 interview, Futurama creator Matt Groening explained “There's a long, regal history of misunderstood TV shows, and to Fox's credit, the studio looked at the ratings on the Cartoon Network and how the show does overseas, and saw that there was more money to be made.” * [16] In 2006, in a stunt to promote its airings of Saved by the Bell, Adult Swim temporarily renamed itself to “crappy 1980s live action tv show network”.
In 2007, Adult Swim announced it would expand to seven nights a week starting that July. Up until then, it was only on Saturdays-Thursdays, with Cartoon Network airing 24 hours on Friday. On July 6 of that year, Adult Swim had its first broadcast on a Friday with an all-night marathon of Family Guy with one episode, Peter's Two Dads, rerunning the April Fools gag of that year, running the first half-hour of Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film On March 28, 2005, Atlanta-based Turner Broadcasting For Theaters in a small square on the bottom left hand System split Adult Swim from Cartoon Network to allow corner.

Family Guy premiered in reruns on Adult Swim on April 20, 2003, and immediately became the block's top-rated program, dominating late night viewing in its time period vs. cable and broadcast competition and boosting viewership by 239 percent.* [11]* [12] On March 29, 2004, less than one year later, Fox announced it would be renewing Family Guy for a fourth season and reviving it from cancellation.* [11] Shortly after the announcement, Jim Samples, executive vice president of Cartoon Network, commented,“Bringing Family Guy to the Adult Swim lineup last April really helped turn the block into a cultural phenomenon with young adults.”* [12]
Stylistic history
Originally, all of the bumpers shown in-between shows featured footage of old people swimming in public pools, eating, exercising, and doing other pool-related activities, with some featuring audio of a lifeguard shouting through a megaphone. The logo was the words “Adult Swim”in all capital letters, shown after a freeze frame of the footage.* [21] When the Saturday night block debuted on February 23, 2002, it featured clips from the various anime programs displayed on the block. The original theme music for Adult Swim, titled“D-Code,”was a remix of “Mambo Gallego”done by the Melbourne musician Dust Devil, originally played by Latin jazz mu* Futurama was also revived in 2007 by Comedy Central sician Tito Puente, Sr. [22] On January 12, 2003, the sefor similar reasons: impressive viewership in syndication nior citizens were replaced by animated safety manuals as well as high DVD sales.* [13] Adult Swim obtained featuring Adult Swim characters.

The air times in many of the promos were crossed out in yellow. On March 31, 2014, adult swim re-branded their bumpers. From 8pm to 11pm (ET/PT) on their first day and from 8pm to 6am (ET/PT) from their second day onwards, the new bumpers include live action pans of landscapes, signs, objects, and animals with the Adult Swim logo embossed in them, sometimes hidden. Also the advisory sign-on bumper has changed from the traditional black and white bumper to a live shot as well.* [30]

The current bumps debuted on May 25, 2003 and feature black intertitle “cards”in white Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold type.* [23] The cards discuss everything from programming news to personal staff opinions on unrelated subjects. In addition, the bumpers for the action shows include tilt-shift miniature and other abstract photos of Japan, often accompanied by clips of various Yesterdays New Quintet songs. The most recent bumper cards have the "[adult swim]" caption somewhere within photographs of places – often with roads or road signs throughout the world.
On Wednesday, January 31, 2007, both the Boston Police Department and the Boston Fire Department mistakenly identified battery-powered LED placards resembling two characters from the Adult Swim animated television series Aqua Teen Hunger Force as improvised explosive devices. These devices were in fact part of a guerrilla marketing advertising campaign.

CHAPTER 7.

Unlike its traditional broadcast counterpart, the AS Live internet stream does not show the same commercials. This is primarily due to a contractual agreement between most American broadcast networks, including Turner owned properties, and the union SAG-AFTRA which represents television and radio performers and ASCAP and BMI which acts on behalf of music composers and performers for royalty payments. Under this agreement broadcast networks are required to pay a certain royalty fee to performers for commercials that they appeared in, provided voice-over or musical performance in. To usurp this Adult Swim broadcasts either a still card with a picture of an owl and the words“Please Stand-By Commercial Break”or Adult Swim program promos.
In mid-2004, Adult Swim launched a video on demand service on cable television providers, branded as “Adult Swim Video”.

Other Cartoon Network markets choose not to air it due to local market conditions, licensing programs to other broadcasters or government content restrictions or regulations – such as Ofcom in the United Kingdom. In those markets, where regulation issues arise, the block is licensed to other networks or television stations instead.* [57]* [58]

High definition channels and service
[9] Anime News Network.com Interview: CN re: Cowboy Bebop and Adult Swim
A high definition feed of Adult Swim is available on many cable and all satellite service providers. The high definition feed was launched on October 15, 2007. 4:3 content is stretched on the high definition feed to fill the 16:9 aspect ratio, except airings of season one episodes of The Eric André Show, along with Cowboy Bebop and Dragon Ball Z Kai on Toonami, which are pillarboxed to preserve the original 4:3 aspect ratio. This process results in a warped picture, which is especially apparent during horizontal panning. All programs produced in high definition are aired in letterbox on the standard definition feed. Commercials made in 4:3 are also stretched to fill the 16:9 feed, unlike most other Turner-owned channels that use stylized pillarboxing.

In 2005, Toonami had short-lived weekend schedules, which were later replaced by the premiere of Adult Swim in Latin America (October 7, 2005). In March 2006, Toonami revamped their lineup to include more adult-oriented series, such as Love Hina, taking advantage of the schedule and the refusal of anime on Adult Swim, as well as to compete against the anime channel Animax (now Sony Spin) for new anime series. In June 2006, Toonami premiered anime movies in two monthly variations: Dragon Ball Theatricals (which had 17 different Dragon Ball movies), and Toonami Movies (general animated action movies). In 2007, Cartoon Network cut Toonami completely. The movies were no longer aired, except for those of Dragon Ball Z. After its cancellation in Latin America on March 26, 2007, the anime programming of the channel gradually vanished. Currently the only anime which air on CN LA are Digimon Fusion, Dragon Ball Z Kai and Pokémon. In January 2010 the block Animaction was created, showing on Wednesday evenings. This block broadcast both action programming and anime programming, before it was removed in April 2011.

Main article: Toonami Jetstream On March 26, 2001, Cartoon Network launched Toonami Reactor, their first online streaming video service.* [69] The three-month service featured streaming episodes from Dragon Ball Z and Star Blazers, the latter of which was an online-exclusive series. Editorial content was provided by the now-defunct Animerica Magazine, published by VIZ Media. After the three-month “trial run”was over, Cartoon Network took it offline and completely revamped it. On November 14, 2001, Cartoon Network relaunched Toonami Reactor with all online-exclusive programs such as Star Blazers, Patlabor, The Harlock Saga, and Record of Lodoss War, as well as videos from Daft Punk and Toonami-themed games.

Sister channels 8.1 Boomerang (TV channel)
The Cartoon Network programming block was reformatted to air cartoons in production during a certain year (The Flintstones and Top Cat for 1961, The Perils of Penelope Pitstop and Scooby-Doo for 1969, et al.). The block was often simulcast with the Boomerang channel on Saturday mornings until 2004. The Boomerang channel initially carried a looping programming format that rotated each week.
Boomerang's former logo, used from April 1, 2000 until January 18, 2015.
Boomerang is an American digital cable and satellite television channel that is owned by the Turner Broadcasting System subsidiary of Time Warner. Originating as a spinoff of Cartoon Network (which originated Boomerang as a programming block in 1992), Boomerang specializes in a blend of classic and contemporary animated programming from Time Warner's extensive archives with a family-friendly approach, including Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, The Powerpuff Girls, and Scooby-Doo, along with repeats of shows still in production on Cartoon Network like Teen Titans Go! and The Amazing World of Gumball.
8.1.1
History
Much of the programming that made up the core of Boomerang's lineup was originally part of TBS's Disaster Area, a block of children's programming that aired on that network from 1997 to 1999. Boomerang had originated a programming block airing on Cartoon Network that debuted on December 8, 1992. It was aimed towards the generation of baby boomers, and was similar to the Vault Disney nostalgia block that would debut five years later on the Disney Channel. It originally aired for four hours every weekend, but the block's start time had changed frequently. The Saturday block moved to Saturday afternoons, then back to the early morning, and the Sunday block moved to Sunday evenings. Eventually, Boomerang was shortened by an hour, reducing it from four hours to three each weekend. Turner Broadcasting System eventually converted Boomerang into a standalone cable channel that debuted on April 1, 2000.* [1]
Once Boomerang launched as its own channel, on-air promotions for the channel aired at the end of every program within the Cartoon Network block, in attempt to increase visibility for Boomerang. In October 2004, all of the older programming on Cartoon Network, including Looney Tunes, Baby Looney Tunes, and shows from Hanna-Barbera migrated to Boomerang. On October 2 and 3, 2004, nearly four months after the relaunch of Cartoon Network, the Boomerang programming block was replaced with the then-debuting Adult Swim. Boomerang consisted with an everyday lineup of older reruns of classic anthology series such as The Popeye Show, Tom and Jerry, The Bob Clampett Show, ToonHeads and programs formerly seen on Boomerang such as Super Globetrotters. Looney Tunes aired on Cartoon Network for the last time officially on those dates, and would not return to that network until March 14, 2011, when Cartoon Network added two hour-long blocks of Looney Tunes shorts in a run-up to the debut of The Looney Tunes Show. Boomerang originated as a commercial-free channel, being financed solely by subscription fees and product tieins. In order to fill out a half-hour block (Boomerang programming follows a strict half-hour scheduling format), breaks between programs featured promotions for Cartoon Network and/or Boomerang programming (in the latter's case, most of the bumpers are several years old), occasional advertising for DVD products from Warner Home Video, various animated shorts, and eventually public service announcements for Cartoon Network's “Stop Bullying: Speak Up”initiative. Advertising time for cable and satellite providers is leased to some providers such as Dish Network, through insertion by those providers. During its looping format, which lasted through December 26, 2004, its broadcast day began at 8 a.m. (Eastern Time), with programming being repeated three times a
259
260 day in eight-hour blocks. Monday through Thursdays featured a variety of half-hour and hour-long animated series; “monthly feature”cartoons were shown all day on Fridays, in which one cartoon was featured for each Friday of a given month for 24 consecutive hours. On January 1, 2005, this block became known as “monthly character of the month”, and began to air on weekends from 2 to 4 p.m. Eastern (the block was eventually named “Boomeroyalty”in March 2007, which ran until the fall of 2012). On Saturdays, cartoons from a select calendar year were broadcast. Boomerang's promotional slogan, It's All Coming Back to You, used on the channel itself, was one of nostalgia that accurately reflected its programming of the time (in promotions on Boomerang and especially Cartoon Network, the channel is referred to as“Boomerang from Cartoon Network”); actor and television host John O'Hurley has served as continuity announcer for most of the channel's promotions. In September 2008, Cartoon Network began to feature increased promotion for Boomerang, including two promos that aired on January 1, 2009. Recently, between intermissions, Boomerang air a bumper, followed by two ments (one for either Dish Network or DirecTV, depending on the provider, followed by a regular commercial, a classic short and a“Wedgie,”a series of original animated shorts that originally aired on Cartoon Network). For many years, Boomerang generally did not show live action series, with the exception of The Banana Splits, which had a semi-regular place on the channel's schedule through approximately 2011, and the Cartoon Network game show Hole in the Wall, which aired intermittently from 2010 to 2011. However, in October 2011, the channel acquired the cable rights to the 1960s live-action series The Munsters and The Addams Family (1964 version) and airing the two sitcoms in prime time, before being removed from the schedule after Halloween (both series returned to the Boomerang lineup in October 2012 and 2013). Because most of the channel's content consists of archived television programs produced before the advent of high-definition television, Boomerang does not currently maintain a high definition simulcast feed. On February 4, 2014, as part of the company's 2014 upfronts, Turner Broadcasting announced that Boomerang would become advertising-ed, and seek additional international distribution.* [2]* [3] On January 19, 2015, the U.S. version of Boomerang was relaunched as part of a global rebranding effort and will offer original programming for the first time; the relaunched channel will continue to emphasize its archival programming but with a greatly increased emphasis on the archive's most popular brands and an explicitly family-friendly approach, in the hopes that Boomerang can become a “second flagship”on par with the main Cartoon Network channel.* [4]

8.1.2 Cable and satellite availability Boomerang is carried on most cable and telco providers, along with both satellite services; tiering of the channel varies by service, with some services offering it as a basic service or as a higher-tier offering. A few providers do not carry the linear channel, instead only offering the network's video on demand service bundled with Cartoon Network. The network is offered exclusively in standard definition, with no current plans for a high definition simulcast.
8.1.3 Programming Main article: List of programs broadcast by Boomerang Historically, Boomerang avoided overt channel drift and, despite adding newer content to its library, continued to air programming from the breadth of its archives. As of spring 2014, however, most of its archival programming has been relegated to graveyard slots while the daytime schedule has increasingly been dominated by programming from the 1990s and later. Only Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, The Powerpuff Girls, Scooby-Doo, and The Garfield Show have permanent places on the schedule as of December 2014; a few shows, such as The Flintstones, Pokémon, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, and The Smurfs are usually on the schedule but are periodically taken off the schedule for brief periods, or have their slots on the schedule shuffled around. Most other programs aired by Boomerang stay on the schedule for several weeks, then are rotated out and replaced by other programs. Not all of the Time Warner animation library is currently available to Boomerang. A portion of the library is licensed to Discovery Family, which used to be Hub Network, as of 2013; this license includes the WB-produced animated series from the 1990s that were produced in collaboration with Steven Spielberg (including Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs), and most properties involving Batman and Superman (including the DC Animated Universe). Boomerang also occasionally licenses programming from other distributors, such as The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, which reed the lineup for a short run in August and September 2013. The Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoon shorts, which were dropped by Boomerang since 2007, returned for the schedule on October 5, 2013. Although Boomerang's programming philosophy was originally intended to showcase classic cartoons, it started to added some newer shows in recent years. On January 1, 2012, the channel began airing episodes of Puppy in My Pocket: Adventures in Pocketville, which ended in February 2013. On November 17 and 24, 2012, Boomerang aired new episodes of Ben 10: Omniverse, before their telecast on sister channel Cartoon Network. Boomerang
8.1. BOOMERANG (TV CHANNEL) reintroduced the “Wedgies”series of animated shorts (which air in-between shows) in 2013. Boomerang also began airing Teen Titans Go! and The Amazing World of Gumball on December 1, 2014, alongside their airings on Cartoon Network. Numb Chucks was picked up by Boomerang for first-run broadcast in the United States on January 10, 2015, after initially having been announced for Cartoon Network.* [5] Programming blocks Because of Boomerang's fluid schedule, programming blocks will air for a few months, then be removed from the schedule, only to be added again a few months later. Current • Boomerang Theater – Boomerang's movie showcase block; it is shown on weekend mornings from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. Eastern; Looney Tunes shorts fill out the 10:30 a.m. slot as needed. Seasonal programming blocks • Captain Planet – In observance of Earth Day, Boomerang airs a marathon of the animated series (which was produced by Turner Program Services). • Mother's Day – A recent marathon obervance by Boomerang, on the holiday, the channel airs cartoons featuring mothers, such as Jane Jetsonfocused episodes of The Jetsons, and Wilma Flintstone-focused episodes of The Flintstones. • The Boomerang Christmas Party – This block, which airs each December, features a collection of Hanna-Barbera Christmas specials (such as The Powerpuff Girls: Twas the Fight Before Christmas, Yogi's First Christmas, Christmas Comes to PacLand, Casper's First Chrismas, The Jetsons' First Christmas and The Flintstones' Christmas). Former blocks • Boomeraction – One of the first blocks to air on Boomerang,* [6] its programming focused on actionadventure shows including Thundarr the Barbarian, Teen Titans, Samurai Jack, SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron, The Pirates of Dark Water, Jonny Quest, The Secret Saturdays, Ben 10 and Ben 10: Omniverse. It was also one of the only Boomerang blocks to air across international feeds, including the United Kingdom, Latin America, and Australia versions of the network. The block was removed by June 2, 2014, as all programming from the block left the schedule.
261 • Boomerandom – This block aired each weekend from 8 to 10 p.m. Eastern Time from 2008 to 2010, and featured two hours of episodes of a single program. The selected programs were picked by the “Boomerandom drawing machine”. • Boomerang Zoo – This one-hour block featured pre-1970 Hanna-Barbera/Warner Bros. television shorts, culled mainly from the H–B funny animal series (such as Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Atom Ant, Magilla Gorilla, Snagglepuss, Wally Gator, and Pixie & Dixie and Mr. Jinks). It was the only block to air on both the American and European versions of the channel after the 2004 rebranding of Boomerang Europe.* [7] • Boomerock – This block, which aired in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the premiere of The Flintstones in 2010, consisted of a marathon of the classic animated series. • Boomeroyalty – This weekend mini-marathon of shows focuses on a particular character that changes every month, similar to the former Super Chunk block on sister network Cartoon Network. “Boomeroyalty”concluded on July 2013. • Scooberang – This continuous block featured every episode of each Scooby-Doo series (which were aired in chronological order), beginning with Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!. It also aired some feature-length Scooby-Doo films, including ScoobyDoo Meets the Boo Brothers and Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island. “Scooberang”no longer airs on Boomerang. However, various series iterations of the Scooby-Doo franchise air on the channel several times daily. • Those Meddling Kids! – This 90-minute block featured series produced by Hanna-Barbera and/or Ruby-Spears, all of which follow the formula of a group of mystery-solving teenagers or young adults (such as Scooby-Doo, Josie and the Pussycats, Fangface, Clue Club and Speed Buggy). • Halloween block – This block aired during the month of October, and included Halloween-themed programs such as Scooby-Doo, Casper, The Addams Family (in its live-action as well as animated incarnations), Beetlejuice, The Funky Phantom, Goober and the Ghost Chasers and The Munsters. This is notably the only time that Boomerang regularly aired any live-action programming, particularly as The Addams Family and The Munsters have aired on the channel each October since 2011. The Halloween programming replaced the annual Scooberang block in 2011 and aired again in 2012 and 2013; it was not brought back in 2014 when the channel began to change focus.

Barbera continued to serve as mentors and creative consultants. In 1996, Turner merged with Time Warner, and Hanna-Barbera became a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Animation. With Hanna's death in 2001, it was absorbed into its parent, and Cartoon Network Studios continued the projects for the channel's output. Barbera continued to work for Warner Bros. Animation until his death in 2006. The studio now exists as an in-name-only company used to market properties and productions associated with the Hanna-Barbera library, specifically its “classic”works. In 2005, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences honored Hanna and Barbera with a bronze wall sculpture of them and the characters they created. Hanna-Barbera was known not only for its vast variety of series and characters, but for the concept and use of limited animation.
8.2.1 History Melrose, New Mexico native William Hanna and New York City-born Joseph Barbera first teamed together while working at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio in 1939. Their first directorial animated project together was Puss Gets the Boot (1940), which served as the genesis of the popular Tom and Jerry series of theatricals. Hanna and Barbera served as the directors and story men of the shorts for eighteen years. Seven of the cartoons won seven Oscars for Best Short Subject (Cartoons) between 1943 and 1953, though the trophies were awarded

Hanna-Barbera was one of the first animation studios to successfully produce cartoons especially for television.* [10] Previously, animated programming on television had consisted primarily of rebroadcasts of theatrical cartoons. Their first animated series for television The Ruff & Reddy Show, featuring live-action host Jimmy Blaine and several older Columbia-owned cartoons as filler, premiered on NBC in December 1957. The studio had its first big success with The Huckleberry Hound Show in 1958, a syndicated series aired in most markets just before primetime.

Screen Gems became the new studio's distributor and its licensing agent, handling merchandizing of the characters from the animated programs.* [9] H-B Enterprises opened for business in rented offices on the lot of Kling Studios (formerly Charlie Chaplin Studios)* [8] on July 7, 1957, two months after the MGM animation studio closed down.* [1] Sidney and several Screen Gems alumni became of H-B's original board of directors, and much of the former MGM animation staff – including animators Carlo Vinci, Kenneth Muse, Lewis Marshall, Michael Lah, and Ed Barge and layout artists Ed Benedict and Richard Bickenbach – as its production staff.* [1]
New shows produced for syndication and Saturday mornings included The Yogi Bear Show – a syndicated spinoff from The Huckleberry Hound Show, The Hanna-Barbera New Cartoon Series featuring Wally Gator, The Magilla Gorilla Show, The Peter Potamus Show and The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show. Hanna-Barbera also produced several television commercials, often starring its own characters, and animated the opening credits for the ABC sitcom Bewitched (the Bewitched characters would also appear as guest stars in a season six episode of The Flintstones). Hanna-Barbera also produced Loopy De Loop, a series of theatrical cartoon shorts. It was the studio's first and only series for theaters. Hanna-Barbera moved off of the Kling lot in 1963 (by then renamed the Red Skelton Studios) when the studio, located at 3400 Cahuenga Blvd. West in Hollywood, California, was opened. This California contemporary office building was designed by architect Arthur Froehlich. Its ultra-modern design included a sculpted latticework exte-

Next came Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! in 1969, a CBS program which blended elements of H-B's comedy programs, action shows, the live-action sitcom The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis and the old time radio show I Love a Mystery.* [13]* [14] The series centered on four teenagers and a dog solving supernatural mysteries, and was so popular that the company made more new Saturday morning cartoons featuring mystery-solving, crimefighting teenagers with comical pets and mascots, such as, Josie and the Pussycats, The Funky Phantom, The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan, Speed Buggy, Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kids, Goober and the Ghost Chasers, Clue Club, Jabberjaw, Captain Caveman and the The former Hanna-Barbera building at 3400 Cahuenga Blvd. Teen Angels and The New Shmoo.

After the success of The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show in 1965, two new Saturday morning series debuted the following year, Space Ghost, which featured action-adventure and Frankenstein, Jr. and The Impossibles, which blended action-adventure with the earlier Hanna-Barbera humor style. A number of the company's action cartoons followed in 1967, among them are Shazzan, Birdman and the Galaxy Trio, Moby Dick and the Mighty Mightor, Young Samson and Goliath, The Herculoids and an adaptation of Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four along with new syndicated shows based on famous celebrities, such as The Abbott and Costello Cartoon Show and Laurel and Hardy.
The 1970s During the seventies in particular, the majority of American television animation was produced by HannaBarbera. The only competition came from Filmation, DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, Ruby-Spears, and a few other companies that specialized primarily in prime time specials, such as Rankin-Bass and Lee Mendelson-Bill Meléndez. Filmation, in particular, lost ground to HannaBarbera when the failure of its show Uncle Croc's Block led ABC president Fred Silverman to drop Filmation and give Hanna-Barbera the majority of the network's Saturday morning cartoon time. Besides Scooby-Doo and the programs derived from it, the studio also found success with new programs such as Harlem Globetrotters, Where's Huddles, The Addams Family, These Are The Days, Partridge Family 2200 A.D., Hong Kong Phooey and Jeannie. The syndicated Wait Till Your Father Gets Home returned Hanna-Barbera to adult-oriented comedy, although the show was more provocative than The Flintstones or The Jetsons had been.
The Hanna-Barbera and Screen Gems partnership lasted until 1965, when Hanna and Barbera announced the sale of the studio to Taft Broadcasting.* [9] Its acquisition of Hanna-Barbera was delayed for a year by a lawsuit from Joan Perry, John Cohn, and Harrison Cohn - the widow and sons of former Columbia head Harry Cohn who felt that Hanna-Barbera had undervalued the Cohns' 18% share in the company when it was sold a few years prior.* [11] By December 1966, the litigation had been The studio revisited its 1960s hits starting with the Flintsettled and the company has finally been acquired by the stones spin-offs The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show, The parent for $12 million.* [9] Flintstone Comedy Hour, The New Fred and Barney Show Hanna and Barbera stayed on to run the company, and and The Flintstone Comedy Show.

Hanna-Barbera also tried its hand at live-action projects, though its success in selling such programming was limited by its track record as an animation studio. The most notable production out of the many of its non-animated specials is the Emmy-winning favorite The Gathering. Its live-action department spun off into Solow Production Company, founded by Herbert F. Solow, which immediately following the name change was able to sell the series Man from Atlantis to NBC.* [16] The studio tried its hand at being a record label for a short time when Danny Hutton was hired to become the head of Hanna Barbera Records (HBR) from 1965 to 1966.* [17] It was distributed by Columbia Records, with artists such as Louis Prima, Five Americans, Scatman Crothers and the 13th Floor Elevators.

267 head) would be animated. The rest of the figure would remain on a held animation cel. This allowed a typical 10minute short to be done with only 1,200 drawings instead of the usual 26,000. Dialogue, music, and sound effects were emphasized over action, leading Chuck Jones – a contemporary who worked for Hanna and Barbera's rivals at Warner Bros. Cartoons when the duo was at MGM, and one who, with his short The Dover Boys practically invented many of the concepts in limited animation – to disparagingly refer to the limited TV cartoons produced by Hanna-Barbera and others as“illustrated radio”.* [18] In a story published by The Saturday Evening Post in 1961, critics stated that Hanna-Barbera was taking on more work than it could handle and was resorting to shortcuts only a television audience would tolerate.* [19] An executive who worked for Walt Disney Productions said, “We don't even consider [them] competition”.* [19] Ironically, during the late 1950s and early 1960s, HannaBarbera was the only animation studio in Hollywood that was actively hiring, and it picked up a number of Disney artists who were laid off during this period. The studio's solution to the criticism over its quality was to go into features. The studio produced six theatrical features, among them higher-quality versions of its hit television cartoons and adaptations of other material. Hanna-Barbera was also the first animation studio to have their animation work produced overseas. One of these production companies was a subsidiary started by Hanna-Barbera called PhilToons in the Philippines.* [20] Slow rise and fall
Early H-B Enterprises logo used from the studio's inception in 1957 until 1960.
Competing studios, such as Filmation and Rankin/Bass began to introduce successful syndicated cartoons (HeMan, She-Ra and Thundercats) based upon characters from popular toy lines and action figures. Hanna-Barbera continued to produce for Saturday mornings but no longer dominated the market. In 1981, Taft purchased RubySpears Enterprises from Filmways, founded in 1977 by former H-B employees Joe Ruby and Ken Spears. It would often pair their shows with Hanna-Barbera's programs. Then in 1979, the parent bought Worldvision Enterprises, which then throughout the eighties, became the syndication distributor for most of the cartoons. It was also during this time the studio switched from cel animation to digital ink and paint for some of their shows. Both Hanna-Barbera and Worldvision had their own home video labels (Worldvision Home Video and Hanna-Barbera Home Video) while many of its productions were released by other VHS distributors.
From 1957 to 1995, Hanna-Barbera produced primetime, weekday afternoon, and Saturday morning cartoons for all three major networks and syndication in the United States. The small budgets that television animation producers had to work within prevented them, and most other producers of American television animation, from working with the full theatrical-quality animation the duo had been known for at MGM. While the budget for a seven-minute Tom and Jerry entry of the 1950s was about $35,000, Hanna-Barbera was required to produce fiveminute Ruff and Reddy episodes for no more than $3,000 a piece.* [2] To keep within these tighter budgets, HannaBarbera modified the concept of limited animation (also called semi-animation) practiced and popularized by the United Productions of America (UPA) studio, which also The Smurfs debuted in 1981 on NBC, based on Belgian once had a partnership with Columbia Pictures. cartoonist and creator Pierre Culliford's popular comics Character designs were simplified, and backgrounds and and stories.

caught the attention of Silverman's young daughter. It ran for nine seasons, winning two Daytime Emmys and a Humanitas Prize, becoming a rating success, the highest rated program in eight years, the longest-running Saturday morning cartoon and the highest for an NBC program since 1970. Some of their shows were produced at their Australian-based studio, a partnership with Australian media company Southern Star Entertainment, including Drak Pack, The Berenstain Bears and Teen Wolf.
uct was outsourced to studios in Australia and Asia, including Wang Film Productions, Cuckoo's Nest Studios, Mr. Big Cartoons, Mook Co., Ltd., Toei Animation, and its own Philippines-based studio Fil-Cartoons. In 1989, much of its staff responded to a call from Warner Bros. to resurrect their animation department. Tom Ruegger and a number of his colleagues left the studio, moving to Warners to develop hit programs, such as Tiny Toon Adventures, Batman: The Animated Series and Animaniacs.
Trollkins made its premiere on CBS in 1981, then The Biskitts in 1983. Next was The Greatest Adventure: Stories from the Bible, a Hanna-Barbera produced series for direct-to-video about three young adventurers traveling back in time to watch biblical events take place in the past. For seventeen years, Barbera tried to get for the series when finally, Taft ed it.* [21] After the success of the smash hit CBS Saturday morning cartoon series Muppet Babies, which featured toddler versions of Jim Henson's popular Muppet characters, Hanna-Barbera began producing shows featuring “kid” versions of popular characters, such as The Flintstone Kids, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, Pink Panther and Sons and Popeye and Son.
The rights to the Hanna-Barbera properties were licensed to Universal Studios while David Kirschner was appointed as the head of the studio in 1989, with Hanna and Barbera remaining as co-chairmen* [23] and launched new programs, such as Yo Yogi! and The Pirates of Dark Water. Less than successful and burdened with debt, Carl Lindner, Jr.'s Great American put both Hanna-Barbera and Ruby-Spears up for sale in 1990. The Smurfs appeared in the drug prevention special Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue, produced by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation.

In 1985, Yogi's Treasure Hunt and an update of Jonny Quest, along with new series originals Galtar and the Golden Lance, Paw Paws, Sky Commanders, Fantastic Max, The Further Adventures of Superted and Paddington Bear were introduced for the new weekly syndicated block The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera. Meanwhile, DC Comics named Hanna-Barbera as one of the honorees in its 50th anniversary publication Fifty Who Made DC Great for its work on the Super Friends cartoon series.* [22] More new shows were introduced, featuring Yogi Bear (The New Yogi Bear Show) and ScoobyDoo (The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show and The 13 Hanna, Iwao Takamoto, a studio employee, and Barbera, from Ghosts of Scooby-Doo) along with The Completely Mental July 14, 1996 Misadventures of Ed Grimley, Wildfire and Foofur. Following its original newtork run, two decades earlier, The Jetsons returned for new episodes, premiered in 1985 syndicated. The studio followed the lead of its competitors by introducing new shows based on familiar licensed properties, such as Pac-Man, Mork and Mindy, Snorks, The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang, Pound Puppies, The Gary Coleman Show, Challenge of the GoBots, Laverne & Shirley in the Army, Shirt Tales, The Little Rascals, Richie Rich, The Dukes and Monchhichis. Throughout all of this, both Hanna-Barbera and Ruby-Spears were affected by the financial troubles of Taft, which had just been acquired by the American Financial Corporation in 1987 and had its name changed to Great American Broadcasting the following year. Many of the business deals were overseen by Taft CEO, Charles Mechem. Along with the rest of the American animation industry, the company had gradually begun to move away from producing everything in-house in the late seventies and early eighties. Much of its prod-
In November 1991, the Hanna-Barbera studio and library, as well as much of the original Ruby-Spears library, were acquired by a 50-50 t venture between Turner Broadcasting – which by that time had also bought the pre-May 1986 MGM library – and Apollo Investment Fund for $320 million.* [24] This was with the intention of launching an all animation based network aimed at children and younger audiences. Turner's president of entertainment Scott Sassa hired Fred Seibert, a former executive for MTV Networks, to head the Hanna-Barbera studio. He immediately filled the gap left by the departure of most of their creative crew during the Great American years with a new crop of animators, writers, and producers, including Pat Ventura, Craig McCracken, Donovan Cook, Genndy Tartakovsky, David Feiss, Seth MacFarlane, Van Partible, Stewart St. John, and Butch Hartman with new production head Buzz Potamkin. In 1992, the studio was renamed H-B Productions Company, changing its name once again to Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc.

Launch of Cartoon Network In 1992, Turner launched Cartoon Network, to showcase its huge library of animated programs, of which HannaBarbera was the core contributor. As a result, many classic cartoons, especially the Hanna-Barbera ones, were introduced to a new audience.* [26] Following a 1987 popularity wane and program length decrease, The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera ended permanently in 1994, so that Turner could refocus the studio to produce new shows exclusively for the Turner-owned networks. In February 1995, Hanna-Barbera and Cartoon Network launched World Premiere Toons (a.k.a. What A Cartoon!), a format designed by Seibert. The program featured fortyeight new creator driven cartoon shorts developed by its in-house staff. Several original series emerged from the project, giving the company their first bona-fide mass appeal hits since The Smurfs. The first series based on a World Premiere short was Genndy Tartakovsky's Dexter's Laboratory. Cartoon Network Studios era See also: Cartoon Network Studios Around 2000, the Hanna-Barbera name began to disappear from newer shows by the studio in favor of the Cartoon Network Studios label. This came in handy with shows that were produced outside the company, but Cartoon Network had a hand in producing (ex.: Ed, Edd n Eddy and Codename: Kids Next Door) as well as shows the studio continued to produce (ex.: Adventure Time, Regular Show, Camp Lazlo and Ben 10). In April 2008, Cartoon Network would create their own animation anthology not unlike World Premiere Toons known as The Cartoonstitute, headed by two animators who got their
8.2.2 Sound effects Besides their cartoons and characters, Hanna-Barbera was also noted for their large library of sound effects. Besides cartoon-style sound effects (such as ricochets, slide whistles and more), they also had familiar sounds used for transportation, household items, the elements, and more. When Hanna and Barbera started their own cartoon studio in 1957, they created a handful of sound effects, and had limited choices. They also took some sounds from the then-defunct MGM animation studios. By 1958, they began to expand and began adding more sound effects to their library. Besides creating a lot of their own effects, they also collected sound effects from other movie and cartoon studios, such as Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. Animation, and even Walt Disney Productions. Some of their famous sound effects included a rapid bongo drum take used for when a character's feet were scrambling before taking off, a “KaBONG”sound produced on a guitar for when Quick Draw McGraw, in his Zorro-style “El Kabong”crime fighting guise, would smash a guitar over a villain's head, the sound of a car's brake drum combined with a bulb horn for when Fred Flintstone would drop his bowling ball onto his foot, an automobile's tires squealing with a “skipping”effect added for when someone would slide to a sudden stop, a bass-drum-and-cymbal combination called the “Boom Crash”for when someone would fall down or smack into an object, a xylophone being struck rapidly on the same note for a tip-toeing effect, and a violin being plucked with the tuning pegs being raised to simulate something like pulling out a cat's whisker. The cartoons also used Castle Thunder, a thunderclap sound effect that was commonly used in movies and TV shows from the 1940s to the 1970s. Other common sounds such as Peeong (a frying pan hitting sound with
270 a doppler effect) and Bilp were used regularly in all of its cartoons. Starting in the 1960s, other cartoon studios began using the sound effects, including Nickelodeon Animation Studio, Universal Animation Studios, Disney Television Animation, Film Roman, MGM Animation, Cartoon Network Studios, DiC Entertainment, Hasbro Studios, Warner Bros. Animation and many others. By the 21st century, almost every animation studio was using the sound effects. Today, like Hanna-Barbera, they are used sparingly, while some cartoons and non-animated series like Warner Bros. Animation's Krypto the Superdog, Nelvana's The Magic School Bus, A&E's Parking Wars, Disney's Bonkers and Spümcø's Ren & Stimpy “Adult Party Cartoon” make heavy use of the classic sound effects, mostly for a retro feel.
CHAPTER 8. SISTER CHANNELS with the action cartoons of the time such as Sky Commanders. By the 1990s, with cartoons shows, such as Fish Police, SWAT Kats and the animated specials The Halloween Tree and Arabian Nights, the sound effects were virtually nonexistent, being replaced with newer, digitally recorded sounds (mostly from Sound Ideas), as well as the Looney Tunes sound library by Treg Brown. A few early 1990s cartoons continued to use the sound effects, such as Tom & Jerry Kids and The Addams Family. By 1996, each TV series from the studio typically had its own set of sound effects, including some selected from the classic Hanna-Barbera sound library, as well as some new ones and various sounds from Disney and Warner Bros. cartoons (this was especially true of Dexter's Laboratory and Cow and Chicken). Several of the classic H-B sound effects still pop up from time to time in many of Cartoon Network Studios' productions. However, on the recent Warner Bros. produced Scooby-Doo shows (What's New, Scooby-Doo?, Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!, ScoobyDoo! Mystery Incorporated) and direct-to-video movies, the Hanna-Barbera sound effects are very rarely used.
Some Hanna-Barbera sounds show up in various sound libraries such as Valentino and Audio Network. HannaBarbera Records (the studio's short-lived record division) released a set of LP records in the late 1960s entitled Hanna-Barbera's Drop-Ins, which contained quite a few of the classic sound effects. This LP set was only available for radio and TV stations and other production studios. In 1973, and again in 1986, H-B released a second sound effect record set; a seven-LP set entitled The 8.2.3 List of Hanna-Barbera productions Hanna-Barbera Library of Sounds, which, like the previous set, contained several of the classic sound effects. Main article: List of works produced by Hanna-Barbera Like the previous set, this was only available to produc- Productions tion companies and radio/TV stations. The 1986 version was also available as a two compact-disc set.

In 1996, it was reissued with the Hanna-Barbera's Pic-A-Nic Basket of Cartoon Classics CD set, which also contained three other CDs of Hanna-Barbera TV theme songs and background music and songs from The Flintstones. Here, the CD was relabeled as The Greatest Cartoon Sound Effects Ever. In the 1980s, Hanna-Barbera slowly began to cease using their trademark sound effects. This was especially true

This is a list of television programs formerly or currently broadcast on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim in the United States. Although both networks share the same time space, Adult Swim is classified as a separate entity for the purposes of Nielsen ratings.
[37] http://www.tvschedulearchive.com/cartoon-network/ 2009/100509.txt [38] http://web.archive.org/web/20021207230305/http:// schedule.cartoonnetwork.com/servlet/ScheduleServlet? action=viewAll&showID=304382&show=Real+ Adventures+of+Jonny+Quest

Unlike other networks, Adult Swim usually leaves the door open for canceled shows to come back, be it on air or in another format. Show creators may choose to move on to a new project, but because of the channel's flexible scheduling and low production costs, there is a chance the canceled show could return some day. For example, Space Ghost Coast to Coast has been brought back in short form on Gametap while The Brak Show, Perfect Hair Forever, and 12 Oz. Mouse all had webisodes released on Adult Swim Video following their conclusions.* [1]* [2]* [3]

Neighbourhood Cable broadcasts the network in yet another feed in regional Victoria. SKY Network Television has broadcast the network in New Zealand, on 1 January 1997 originally during the day on SKY UHF preset channel 7 with Orange (later SKY 1, and now The Box) broadcasting during the evenings. The Cartoon Network became a separate 24-hour channel in New Zealand in 1998 when the SKY Digital service was launched.* [3] Cartoon Network Australia and Asia followed suit on 1 July 2001.

History
Cartoon Network started its broadcast in Australia in 1995 as the dual-channel TNT & Cartoon Network as part of the Foxtel cable TV launch, operating from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with Turner Classic Movies (formerly TNT) taking the remainder of the daily schedule. On 1 July 2001, Cartoon Network Australia became a separate 24-hour channel, with exclusive local feeds for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Newcastle, Darwin, etc. It originally aired only Hanna-Barbera cartoons such as Yogi Bear, Top Cat, The Flintstones etc. The channel quickly started to develop though, airing for the first time MGM cartoons (Tom and Jerry, Droopy, and Spike and Tyke) on 1 January 1996, and (after Time Warner's purchase of Turner in 1996) Warner Bros shows (Looney Tunes, and several other Looney Tunes related cartoons) on 1 January 1997. In Mid-1997, Cartoon Network started to air its first original shows (Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Dexter's Laboratory and The Moxy Show), however The Moxy Show was soon cancelled. On 22 August 1999 Cartoon Network introduced a new rebrand, introducing new bumpers, new shows and a new 'powerhouse' theme. In April 2004, the channel was added to TransTV.* [4] In addition, Cartoon Network for a brief period would show segments of kids getting prizes during the holidays but this was axed from poor viewer response. Cartoon Network had, up until mid-2004, been tied with the Disney Channel as Australia's most popular family network. The removal of older programming from the network during this period led to a fall in average audience share during 2004 as fans of older cartoons moved to Boomerang. Cartoon Network had slipped to second spot among Australian family networks behind the Disney Channel by the end of the Powerhouse Era.* [5] On 16 August 2005, the bumpers were replaced with 3D animations of a “City”that all the Cartoon Network toons lived in. Show-specific bumpers were replaced with 3-D animations of a well-known scene from the particular show.

The channel was created in 2000 when it replaced the Pan-European version of Main article: List of programs broadcast by Cartoon Network (Nordic) Cartoon Network in the region.

History
Cartoon Network was originally twinned with movie channel TNT in a pan-European version. Cartoon Network ran from 6:00am until 8:00pm CET, with TNT taking over from 8:00pm to 6:00am CET. Some programs on the pan-European feed were dubbed into Norwegian, Swedish and Danish, dubbed locally by companies such as SDI Media Denmark and Dubberman Denmark, for the Danish soundtrack. On 16 December 1996, it became a 24-hour channel, as did TNT. However, a version of the channel called TNT & Cartoon Network continued to appear on some providers. In 2000, a regional Scandinavian version of Cartoon Network was created, broadcasting in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. Most of the programming comes with Swedish, Danish and Norwegian soundtracks. The self-imposed necessity to dub material into three languages takes a heavy toll on the availability of new programs in the feed, which may come late, in smaller amount or not come at all. Existing programming is heavily recycled. The feed has seen an upsurge of commercial advertising in recent years, despite being distributed only on pay-TV. Most of the commercials and announcements on English soundtrack are nevertheless in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. In mid-May 2006, the Cartoon Network logo was changed from the original logo to the British one, as well as the pre-show idents and promos were changed to the British style. The Boomerang block was removed but most of its program content still remains in the channel. In mid-May 2009, the idents and promos once again changed, now consisting of arrows, flying in and out of the Cartoon Network Logo. In early 2011, the logo and idents were changed to the ones currently shown on the American Cartoon Network.
10.4.3 Programming blocks Cartoon Network Classics Mainly shows Cartoon Cartoons, along with other programming dropped from the main schedule. It airs at 2:00am CET, to 4:00am CET. The block is not d, and does not have any special bumpers. It also lacks commercials. Toonami Main article: Toonami Similar to its American and British counterpart, this block mainly showcased action-orientated cartoons. However, not much anime was shown, and rather focused on using the network's original content. Shows that were shown included Samurai Jack, Batman of the Future, XMen: Evolution, The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, Justice League, Beyblade and Megas XLR. Boomerang Main article: Boomerang Nordic Would usually air older content, such as Looney Tunes, Merrie Melodies, Tom and Jerry, and various Hanna– Barbera cartoons. When it was removed, its content was spread around the schedule, but over the years, the shows have either been removed, or has been moved to Boomerang.
In Sweden, from October 1, 2012 there are local Swedish commercials on the channel instead of the pan-Nordic My CN feed seen in the other countries.* [3] Since November 1, 2013 Cartoon Network started to air in 16:9 Each week, the viewers were given a chance to vote on (Widescreen). Although the channel broadcasts around two different shows via the network's website. The show

with the most votes aired at 8:10am CET, both on Saturdays and Sundays. The show also gave the chance for the viewers to become the host, regardless if they live in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, or Iceland. However, if, for example, a Swedish host was chosen as a host, the host was dubbed into other languages for the other soundtracks. The block is currently defunct, but is still d on the network's website.

Case Closed was aired on Cartoon Network and Toonami. Dezaxe aired random Cartoon Network shows and old promos.

In 22 August 1999 the channel received a rebrand, introducing new bumpers, new shows and a new 'powerhouse' theme. The new shows for 1999 were its original shows Dexter's Laboratory, Cow & Chicken, I Am Weasel, Ed, Edd n' Eddy and Johnny Bravo. The following year, 2000, saw even more Cartoon Network originals being introduced, including The Powerpuff Girls, Mike, Lu & Og and Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Robot Jones? and Codename: Kids Next Door. Grim & Evil eventually spun off into two separate series: The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and Evil Con Carne. Justice League and ¡Mucha Lucha! also debuted on Cartoon Network in 2002. In 2003, there were no new Cartoon Network original shows added to the schedule, but there were several new programming blocks and non-Cartoon-Cartoons added. The programming blocks include Boomeraction (currently a block on the channel Boomerang), and Tiny TV (currently a block on Pogo & Boomerang). Shows added to the line-up in 2003 include The Mask: The Animated Series, Pokémon, Digimon, and X-Men: Evolution.

10.12. CARTOON NETWORK (ITALY) Network introduced its new branding and logo. Designed by Brand New School, it makes heavy use of the black and white checkerboard motif, as well as CMYK color variations and patterns. The slogan “It's a Fun Thing!" was also introduced. As the slogan suggests, Comedy programs began to occupy most of the timeslots. While initially, Tom and Jerry made up most of the timeslots, later when Oggy and the Cockroaches was started in India in July, 2012,* [8] CN began to air it hours together each day, which even continues in 2014. Though CN mostly aired Comedy Shows, action shows like Beyblade: Metal Fusion(and its following seasons), aired initially in the evening timeslot, and later at night time slot(9 pm). It also aired Dragonball Z at late night timeslot (10pm). CN started the fourth Series in the hit Ben 10 franchise, Ben 10:Omniverse on 26 November 2012.* [9] Starting from the new era,It's a Fun Thing, CN began to air shows without providing any information through airings on the channel, like on-air promos and bumpers. ThunderCats (2011 TV series), Beyblade Metal Masters New episodes, and Beyblade Metal Fury (new series), Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated were started with no information about air date and timings on the channel, and information present only on TV Schedules. Animated shows like Green Lantern: The Animated Series, DreamWorks Dragons, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, The Looney Tunes Show, ThunderCats (2011 TV series) started to air, but for some reason all of these shows aired only till the first season, and the second season hasn't been aired yet. CN shifted the hit series Pokémon to its sister channel, in 2011, having aired till the eleventh season, but later brought it back on CN in 2014, starting from the fourteenth season Pokémon: Black and White* [10]* [11]
307 The Radical Squadron, The Yogi Bear Show, Josie and the Pussy Cats, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, Jonny Quest, The Jetsons, The Huckleberry Hound Show, The Addams Family, What a Cartoon Show, Wacky Races, Atom Ant and Space Ghost Coast to Coast are no longer available on Cartoon Network since the launch of the separate TV channel Boomerang. Interestingly, Boomerang is not available in India on most platforms, making these shows along with many other classic greats hard to get.

History
On 17 September 1993 Cartoon Network launched in the Netherlands as the Pan-European feed in English without subtitles. On 12 July 1997 the Dutch feed was launched.* [4] It broadcast 18 hours a day: from 06AM until midnight. Most shows were aired in English with Dutch subtitles, but some aired in Dutch. On 1 February 2000 the website launched. A magazine launched on 13 April 2000 with 11 issues and one special. The feed closed down on 1 August 2001 and was replaced with the Pan-European feed with a Dutch audio track.* [5] (Yet some shows still aired in English with subtitles) It started airing 16 hours a day (06AM until 10PM) and ments were in English. The airtime was shortened again on 1 April 2003. (06AM until 09PM) A new logo was introduced on 21 April 2006. On 25 April 2008 UPC Netherlands added an English audiotrack. Ziggo did the same in 2010. On 17 November 2010, the Dutch feed was relaunched broadcasting 24 hours a day and with a new logo. All programs and ads air in Dutch. Some TV providers, like Belgacom and CanalDigitaal, kept broadcasting the Pan-European feed until 31 January 2011. This was the last day this feed aired in Dutch. Every provider receives the Dutch feed since February 2011.

10.17.1 History Cartoon Network was originally twinned with movie channel TNT in a pan-European version. Cartoon Network ran from 6:00am until 8:00pm CET, with TNT taking over from 8:00pm to 6:00am CET. Some programs on the pan-European feed were dubbed into Norwegian, Swedish and Danish, dubbed locally by companies such as SDI Media Denmark and Dubberman Denmark, for the Danish soundtrack. On 16 December 1996, it became a 24-hour channel, as did TNT. However, a version of the channel called TNT & Cartoon Network continued to appear on some providers. In 2000, a regional Scandinavian version of Cartoon Network was created, broadcasting in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. Most of the programming comes with Swedish, Danish and Norwegian soundtracks. The self-imposed necessity to dub material into three languages takes a heavy toll on the availability of new programs in the feed, which may come late, in smaller amount or not come at all. Existing programming is heavily recycled. The feed has seen an upsurge of commercial advertising in recent years, despite being distributed only on pay-TV. Most of the commercials and announcements on English soundtrack are nevertheless in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian.
In mid-May 2006, the Cartoon Network logo was changed from the original logo to the British one, as well as the pre-show idents and promos were changed to the Main article: List of programs broadcast by Cartoon British style. The Boomerang block was removed but Network (Netherlands) most of its program content still remains in the channel.

Cartoon Network started its broadcast in Australia in 1995 as the dual-channel TNT & Cartoon Network as part of the Foxtel cable TV launch, operating from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with Turner Classic Movies (formerly TNT) taking the remainder of the daily schedule. On 1 July 2001, Cartoon Network Australia became a separate 24-hour channel, with exclusive local feeds for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Newcastle, Darwin, etc. It originally aired only Hanna-Barbera cartoons such as Yogi Bear, Top Cat, The Flintstones etc. The channel quickly started to develop though, airing for the first time MGM cartoons (Tom and Jerry, Droopy, and Spike and Tyke) on 1 January 1996, and (after Time Warner's purchase of Turner in 1996) Warner Bros shows (Looney Tunes, and several other Looney Tunes related cartoons) on 1 January 1997.

a new rebrand, introducing new bumpers, new shows and 10.19.3 Programming a new 'powerhouse' theme. * In April 2004, the channel was added to TransTV.* [4] In Current programming [7] addition, Cartoon Network for a brief period would show segments of kids getting prizes during the holidays but this was axed from poor viewer response. Cartoon Network had, up until mid-2004, been tied with the Disney Channel as Australia's most popular family network. The removal of older programming from the network during this period led to a fall in average audience share during 2004 as fans of older cartoons moved to Boomerang. Cartoon Network had slipped to second spot among Australian family networks behind the Disney Channel by the end of the Powerhouse Era.* [5] On 16 August 2005, the bumpers were replaced with 3D animations of a “City”that all the Cartoon Network toons lived in. Show-specific bumpers were replaced with 3-D animations of a well-known scene from the particular show. Between January 2006 and May 2007, Cartoon Network phased out all Hanna-Barbera animation and shows previously labelled Cartoon Cartoons. In February 2008, Adult swim relaunched on The Comedy Channel airing shows such as Robot Chicken and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. On 31 August 2008, the format of Cartoon Network's bumpers and commercials changed, and the Cartoon Network Theatre and Fridays Flicks were renamed to Cartoon Network Popcorn. This mimics a similar decision made by Cartoon Network Southeast Asia, with the major visual theme being the recurring 'dynamic line' on the network's official website and also in all the Station IDs, bumpers, etc. Cartoon Network also transferred from 4:3 to 16:9 broadcasting on 30 November 2010 as part of Foxtel's plan to convert all of its channels to widescreen before the end of 2010. The last show shown in this era was What's New Scooby Doo, on Good Morning Scooby. On 12 September 2011, Cartoon Network Australia d the premiere of The Amazing World of Gumball (1 October) along with a new theme.On 1 October 2011 Cartoon Network introduced its new branding and logo. Designed by Brand New School, it makes heavy use of a black and white checkerboard motif, as well as various CMYK color variations and patterns. The slogan It's a Fun Thing! was also introduced. As of August 2012, Cartoon Network has once again assumed the mantle of being the most watched children's network on Australian subscription TV* [6] (albeit tied with the Disney Channel), and the equal 11th most watched subscription channel overall. The network has not held this position on a consistent basis since 2006.

It began in April 2001 as a morning block airing at 10:00 am – 12:00 pm, but in August 2001 also aired as an hour-long miniblock in Cartoon Network After Dark. The shows on Boomerang changed randomly every week, for both the morning and the evening block. The Boomerang blocks had bumpers which featured children's toys of characters in Hanna-Barbera cartoons coming to life, identical to the Boomerang bumpers used in the United States. These bumpers were sometimes also used on the TV channel. The evening block last aired in March 2002, and the morning block last aired in September 2004. However late-night airings of Boomerang on Cartoon Network continued until early 2005, when the Boomerang channel received a face-lift. In late 2012 it received the looks of Boomerang (UK & Ireland)

10.20.4 Criticism and controversy In 2005, Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority issued an order regarding the ban of several non-private channels because of their Urdu dubbed programs having Hindi blend. Later on, the Cartoon Network and another channel of Hindi versions had been switched to English versions on the Pemra's instructions but the mixed so called Hindustani feed of the channels were back after few months.* [5] In early 2010, PEMRA again issued a notice against the non-private channels which resulted in a complete ban of Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network's Pakistan feed. Once again, the flamed issue was the Hindi dubbed shows on its schedule line up and the Government's demand for a private kids-channel affiliated with PTV instead. The ban stayed and was not lifted till the end of the July 2011. At last on August 1, an announcement was made by the Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Firdous Ashiq Awan.* [6] She said ‘Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, have been granted permission to air programmes in Pakistan’. But at the closure, she expressed her interest in a private TV channel once again and said‘The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority will accommodate private TV channel if someone wished to launch channel for children.’

In 2006, JoongAng Ilbo and the Turner company established a t venture to launch a separate South Korean version of Cartoon Network and the channel was set to launch in November 2006. However, the launch was suddenly delayed due to a content dispute with the Tooniverse channel—the dispute concerned the t venture's intention to produce its own Korean-language versions of some of Cartoon Network's original shows. Tooniverseproduced shows such as The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory and Johnny Bravo, were not part of this plan.

History
Cartoon Network was originally twinned with movie channel TNT in a pan-European version. Cartoon Network ran from 6:00am until 8:00pm CET, with TNT taking over from 8:00pm to 6:00am CET. Some programs on the pan-European feed were dubbed into Norwegian, Swedish and Danish, dubbed locally by companies such as SDI Media Denmark and Dubberman Denmark, for the Danish soundtrack. On 16 December 1996, it became a 24-hour channel, as did TNT. However, a version of the channel called TNT & Cartoon Network continued to appear on some providers. In 2000, a regional Scandinavian version of Cartoon Network was created, broadcasting in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. Most of the programming comes with Swedish, Danish and Norwegian soundtracks. The self-imposed necessity to dub material into three languages takes a heavy toll on the availability of new programs in the feed, which may come late, in smaller amount or not come at all. Existing programming is heavily recycled. The feed has seen an upsurge of commercial advertising in recent years, despite being distributed only on pay-TV. Most of the commercials and announcements on English soundtrack are nevertheless in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. In mid-May 2006, the Cartoon Network logo was changed from the original logo to the British one, as well as the pre-show idents and promos were changed to the British style. The Boomerang block was removed but most of its program content still remains in the channel. In mid-May 2009, the idents and promos once again changed, now consisting of arrows, flying in and out of the Cartoon Network Logo. In early 2011, the logo and idents were changed to the ones currently shown on the American Cartoon Network. In Sweden, from October 1, 2012 there are local Swedish commercials on the channel instead of the pan-Nordic feed seen in the other countries.* [3] Since November 1, 2013 Cartoon Network started to air in 16:9 (Widescreen). Although the channel broadcasts around the clock, some distributors only broadcast the channel between 6:00am. and 9:00pm, with Turner Classic Movies filling the remainder of the schedule.

All programmes on the panEuropean version were dubbed in English, with different audio language channels when a translated programme is available, which were indicated as language symbols on Now/Next bumpers. Cartoon Network UK also serves as the English language feed for Europe, which is also used by Malta. Cartoon Network launched a high definition version of the channel on 14 September 2011.* [13]* [14]
10.29.1
History
Pre-launch On 1 October 1992, the original version of Cartoon Network was launched at CNN Center, Atlanta, USA. The channel was created in response of Turner Entertainment acquiring MGM's Cartoon and Film library in 1986 and the acquisition of the Hanna-Barbera animation studio and cartoon library in 1991. As a result of Turner purchasing MGM's Cartoon and Film library, Warner Bros pre-1948 content was also acquired, which included Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies.* [15] At launch in the United States, Cartoon Network had an 8,500 hour cartoon library,* [16] and it became the first channel dedicated to cartoons. Six months after the launch, Cartoon Network expanded into foreign markets by launching a Latin American version of the channel dubbed in both Spanish, Portuguese and English. Cartoon Network's large animation library was in high demand in Western Europe* [10] and as a response to consumer demand, Cartoon Network Europe was launched on 17 September 1993, broadcasting from London. It launched only less than 12 months after the original American version and only 16 days after its main children's television rival, Nickelodeon UK. Launch

The channel was originally twinned with movie channel TNT and ran from 5am until 7pm,* [17] with TNT taking over from 7pm to 5am. Sunday afternoons saw “Super Chunk”, which showed back to back episodes of one show for two hours between 1pm and 3pm.* [18] Another feature was “The Longest Day”, in which Car-
toon Network ran for an extra four hours until 11pm on 21 June, every year beginning in 1994.* [19]* [20] This slot was dedicated to full-length cartoon movies. The first theme was the Checkerboard theme, which showed graphics from its US counterpart and lasted until 1999. Also unlike its rival Nickelodeon, which was part of Sky Multichannels, Cartoon Network was free-to-air across Europe. Introduction of 24 hour service On 2 September 1996, Cartoon Network began running for an extra two hours until 9pm, and on 16 December 1996,* [21] it became a 24-hour channel, as did TNT on the Astra 1G satellite. However, a timesharing version of the channel called TNT & Cartoon Network continued to appear on some providers. Two years later on 19 December 1998, Cartoon Network launched as part of the Sky Digital satellite platform on the Astra 2A satellite.* [21] Also, in February 1997, Dutch cable provider A2000/KTA added the 24-hour Cartoon Network and TNT channels to its programming lineup.* [21] From 15 November 1998, Cartoon Network was part of ITV Digital's channel package, airing 24 hours a day until the service collapsed on 1 May 2002.* [21]* [22] Separation from Pan-European version On 15 October 1999, Cartoon Network UK officially stopped being a pan-European feed, this was when the shared transponder analogue feed on Astra 1C became scrambled with VideoCrypt and when the short-lived UK and Ireland only version of TNT launched. Prior to this date, Cartoon Network Europe moved to Sirius II to serve Eastern Europe in August 1999 and Cartoon Network and Spain launched at the same time on 23 August 1999, leaving the ex pan-European version (which is now the UK and Ireland only version) on Astra 1C acting as a defacto free to air secondary/transitional European feed for countries preparing to switchover to their own newly launched local versions of Cartoon Network up until encryption on 15 October 1999. TNT changed its programming from classic movies to general entertainment, TNT UK ceased to exist on 1 July 2000 and was replaced with an analogue version of TCM. During the late 90s and the early 2000s, Turner Entertainment Networks International (Now Turner Broadcasting System Europe) started localising their channels to suit different audiences across different countries around Europe. Post-pan European split After the pan-European split, Cartoon Network revamped in 15 October 1999 with the launch of a theme which had shapes and tiles with lines and footage of characters from various shows shown on Cartoon Network.
10.29. CARTOON NETWORK (UK & IRELAND) This lasted until August 2002 and was used throughout Europe. This theme was produced by the British animation studio, Cosgrove Hall Films. A DJ theme was used during the AKA Cartoon Network programming block, bumpers include a live-action DJ scratching a record, which affects the playback of a cartoon clip.* [23] On 30 June 2001, the analogue feed on Astra 1C of Cartoon Network/TCM ceased broadcasting, this was when Sky ended its analogue services.* [24]
An example of a bumper during 2002-2005. Each box shows a different video clip from the same or different cartoon. In each box, a character does an action, when they leave a box, they move to another box or their action is taken over by another character in another box.* [25]
331 posely, due to the inability as the 2006 European heat wave had hit Turner Broadcasting System Europe. The power cut caused a mix up of channels (i.e. Cartoon Network being broadcast on Boomerang and Toonami, with Boomerang being broadcast on CN Too). Boomerang +1 was off air for some time, while TCM, reverted between TCM and other programming during the times it was able to provide a service. TCM 2 didn't have a power cut because of its downtimes of timesharing. Most advertising was suspended and several of the channel websites were offline also. Those who could still receive the channels had a backup transmission played out, making people confused on why the incorrect programmes were played out when compared to the EPG CN Too and Boomerang were showing episodes of The Flintstones at the time. These backups were played out with a scrolling message which said “We apologise for the disruption to this service. This is due to technical difficulties. We will resume normal programming as soon as possible”in multiple languages. Whilst most channels returned to the air relatively quickly, it took longer for CN Too to resume programming. The idents on Toonami which aired between shows during the black-out displayed the message “Sorry! Toonami is broken, we'll be right back as soon as we fix it.”These idents have since been re-used in disclaimers warning viewers not to try stunts on various shows at home.
Current events On 11 April 2005, ten months after it was introduced in the United States, the channel debuted a new logo and On 24 May 2007, the network changed its branding to a similar look to ones one used during 1999-2005.

The new idents Technical faults and interruptions main theming is an arrow moving through several environments animated in 3D computer-generated imagery, such as a jungle, a city populated with DC Comics superheroes, a Disco/Rock concert and a Japanese anime themed world.

On 27 September 2010, Cartoon Network UK introduced its current branding and logo. Designed by Brand New School, it makes heavy use of a black and white checkerboard motif, as well as various CMYK color variations and patterns. This branding was used in the USA since 29 May 2010.* [26]* [27]
On 27 July 2006 in the UK, Cartoon Network, along with the other channels, TCM, Boomerang, Toonami, Boomerang +1 and CN Too suffered a major technical fault due to a power cut in Soho, London. This was due to the energy supplier EDF Energy cutting power from On April 1, 2014, Cartoon Network's DOG moved, to different parts of Soho one at a time for four hours, pur- the top-right corner.

Main article: Toonami (UK) Original scheduling When Cartoon Network initially launched, its schedule was mainly made up of short cartoons from both Warner Bros. and other studios, such as WB's Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Tom and Jerry. A few years after, it started to broadcast its own programming such as The Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Laboratory.
Toonami launched in September 2003 showing action programming. The channel had originally replaced CNX, a channel which launched in June 2002. In May 2007, just 4 years after its launch, Toonami was replaced with Cartoonito. Cartoon Network Too Main article: Cartoon Network Too
Programming blocks In September 2000, Toonami began broadcasting weekdays for two hours between 4pm until 6pm, then from 9pm until 11pm, as well as weekends from 10am until 12 midday and 10pm until midnight. Dragonball Z had already been airing on Cartoon Network since March 2000, and had been attracting very good ratings, which may have contributed to the decision to launch Toonami in the UK. Its output consisted almost solely of Japanese anime such as the cult Dragonball Z, Tenchi Muyo, and Gundam Wing. The only non-Japanese shows for quite some time were the American-produced The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest and Batman Beyond (Batman of the Future in the UK).
On 24 April 2006, Cartoon Network Too was launched on Sky the same day as sister TCM 2 and rival Nick Jr. 2, broadcasting cartoons primarily made by Hanna-Barbera such as Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo and Wacky Races.* [21]* [30] The channel aired from 3 am to 7 pm every day until 24 May 2007, when it became a 24-hour channel, taking Toonami's slot and getting a new identity.* [31] On 1 April 2014, Cartoon Network Too was replaced by a relaunched Cartoon Network +1.

336 The Ultimatrix detects that there's a dimensional disturbance, as Marzipan City is disintergrated. Ben and Chowder are then brought to Bellwood, Ben 10's universe, and are transported to the Null Void whilst fighting and freeing a corrupted Buttercup (who somehow got into the Ben 10 world). The three find Vilgax, but are suddenly brought to Primus to fight Ultimate Kevin Levin/Kevin Levin 11,000 while Vilgax escapes yet again. After the battle, Ben's world is also erased, but the three heroes are saved by Dexter, who's built a machine that allows them to travel to the different dimensions. They then go to Stormalong Harbor, Flapjack's universe to have him help out too, but the harbor is attacked by Stickybeard and his crew. While the others retreat, telling Flapjack they'll return, Flapjack fends off the candy pirates (along the way finding Captain K'nuckles), then the two of them fight Vilgax and a corrupted Numbuh One. After Vilgax escapes, Numbuh One s with Flapjack and K'nuckles to defeat Stickybeard. When Bubbie the Whale finds out Flapjack is under attack by Stickybeard and his pirates, Bubbie swallows up Flapjack, Captain K'nuckles, Numbuh One and Stickybeard, making it harder for Stickybeard to do battle, (Because Flapjack and Captain K'nuckles have been inside Bubbie a thousand times.) After Stickybeard's defeat, the heroes are picked up by the others and brought to the KND Sector V Treehouse in Numbuh One's dimension. Numbuh One, Flapjack, and K'nuckles then defend the Kids Next Door's treehouse from the candy pirates, but Numbuh Two says he does not know how to get them back. Meanwhile, back in Dexter's dimension, Dexter is busy formulating a plan to fix the dimensional meltdown. Unfortunately, Father sneaks in and, using his fire power on a nearby temperature gauge to heat it up, sabotages the lab, sending Ben, Chowder, and Buttercup right into the City of Townsville (the Powerpuff Girls' dimension), where Mojo Jojo is on a rampage in a giant robot. There, they find Blossom and Bubbles (who were, for some strange reason, corrupted, but returned to normal once they accidentally hit the travel machine's door, which the announcer said was too painful to even watch). The group fights their way through the bustling metropolis, but then fight amongst themselves to decide who should go to face Mojo. The winner of the fight then destroys the robot's power core. Mojo then escapes, and the heroes leave as the dimension is destroyed. Next, the group finds themselves in Foster's Mansion (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends' dimension). There, they rescue a corrupted Mac and Bloo and defend Cheese from villainous forces. After that, Mac and Bloo up with the heroes and head out just as their dimension is destroyed. After a quick stop to pick up Numbuh One, Flapjack, and K'nuckles at the KND treehouse in the KND universe, the now-one team returns to Dexter's lab, which is, by now, heavily damaged. After the group fights their way through (rescuing Monkey in the
CHAPTER 11. VIDEO GAMES process), they find Father, who then fights the player and Numbuh One. After Father escapes, the heroes are attacked by Aku (the Shogun of Sorrows, the Master of Masters, etc.). After Aku is defeated, the heroes travel to Endsville and encounter Grim. After fighting their way through the wrecked up town, escaping a wild tornado, defeating General Skarr in his helicopter, rescuing Grim's corrupted masters, Billy and Mandy, and battling an army of zombies, the group goes to the Underworld. There, they find and defeat Mojo Jojo and Father. They then escape the dimension as it, like all the others before it, is destroyed (Chowder just barely making it, thanks to a lollipop K'nuckles holds out). They then take the capsule (the Announcer noticing how it's surprisingly roomier than it looks from the outside) to one more place to visit; Samurai Dojo (Samurai Jack's dimension). After defeating the corrupted samurai warrior, Jack s up with the heroes, but are attacked by Vilgax. After Vilgax's defeat, the now rather large group travels through Jack's world and defeats an army of Ultra-Robots. As the dimension capsule prepares to make one more warp to save the universes, it suddenly explodes for some reason, leaving the heroes floating in a very odd and unrecognized dimension. There, the heroes find the main villain responsible for the whole dimensional meltdown - the Announcer's TV remote! The Announcer then watches, shocked, as his own remote control transforms into a giant robot, revealing it had been responsible for the destruction of the individual worlds. It then entraps the heroes in an energy ring and is about to send them through a portal to oblivion, presumably to permanently erase them and their shows forever. The Announcer says that he should have not bought a discount remote (the type of remote the evil TV remote was) and that the heroes had the fire, had the heart, fought on earth, fought on water, and with their powers combined, something should have happened. Chowder then farts, causing the Announcer to say, “Hey, who just broke wind?" The elements the Announcer mentioned [fire, heart, earth, water, and wind] then combine to summon Captain Planet, who uses his powers to free the heroes. The final battle between the heroes (Ben, Dexter, Chowder, Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, Numbuh One, Flapjack, K'nuckles, Mac, Bloo, Monkey, Grim, Billy, Mandy, Samurai Jack, and Captain Planet) and the evil TV remote ensues. Once the evil TV remote is defeated and turned into a normal remote control, Ben and Dexter reinserts the batteries to restore the universes and, after one last goodbye, everyone is returned to their home dimensions. Chowder is returned to Marzipan City, Mac and Bloo to Foster's Mansion, Dexter and Monkey to Dexter's Lab, Numbuh One to the Kids Next Door Sector V Tree House, Samurai Jack to Samurai Dojo, Grim, Billy, and Mandy to Endsville, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup to

Planning control of the city, Jojo gains the girls' empathy, saying he is also hated for his powers, manipulating them into helping him build a laboratory and machine over a volcano in the middle of town that he claims will gain them the affections of the city. The girls give a batch of Chemical X to Jojo. As a reward, Jojo takes them to the local zoo and secretly implants small transportation devices on all the primates there. That night, Jojo transports all the primates from the zoo into his volcano lair and uses his new machine to inject them with Chemical X, turning them into evil mutant primates like himself. The next morning, after the Professor is released from prison, the girls show him all the“good”they have done, only to discover the city being attacked by the monkeys. Jojo, renaming himself Mojo Jojo, publicly denounces the girls as his assistants, turning everyone and the distraught Professor, against them. The girls blast off into space, dejected.
The film featured substantially revised designs for many of the TV show's characters, with a much more angular look. Many of these changes were incorporated in the final seasons of the show, such as the Professor's new eyes and Ace's sharper teeth.
12.2.5 Critical reception
Based on 100 reviews, the film holds a 63% approval rating on the website Rotten Tomatoes with the consensus “It plays like an extended episode, but The Powerpuff Girls Movie is still lots of fun”. On Metacritic, the film currently has a rating of 65 out of 100, which indicates “generally favorable reviews”. Bob Longino of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution praised the film, writing,“The intricate drawings emanate 1950s futuristic pizazz like a David Hockney scenescape. The inspired script is both Mojo Jojo announces his intentions to rule the planet, but sinfully cynical and aw-shucks sweet”.

Ben 10 is an American media franchise created by "Man of Action" (a group consisting of Duncan Rouleau, Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, and Steven T. Seagle) and produced by Cartoon Network Studios. The franchise is about a boy who acquires a watch-like alien device, called the Omnitrix (full name: Omnimatrix), that allows him or anyone who wears it to turn into alien creatures.
The Ben 10 franchise received wide critical acclaim and won three Emmy Awards; it also has grossed over $2 billion in retail sales in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa 13.3.3 Other (EMEA) and has sold 100 million toys worldwide.* [1] Its movies, which aired on Cartoon Network, are Ben 10: SeGames cret of the Omnitrix, which aired August 10, 2007, Ben 10: • Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am Race Against Time, which aired November 21, 2007, Ben 10: Alien Swarm, which came out November 25, 2009, (2007) and Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens, which aired on March 23, 2012. • Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law (2008) Specials

The Omnitrix appears in the first two incarnations of the franchise (Ben 10 and Ben 10: Alien Force) with Ben forced to destroy it and use the Ultimatrix in the Ben 10: Ultimate Alien series. And in the final episode of Ultimate Alien, Azmuth takes the Ultimatrix from Ben and replaces it with the New Omnitrix – the original version having been a prototype yet the has all of the same issues as its predecessors. However in Omniverse, Azmuth reveals that Ben's habit of slamming his hand on the Omnitrix's core and inadvertently the scroll pad, randomizes the time-out function, causing Ben to sometimes transform back to normal much earlier than expected or transform to a random alien, resulting in a mistransformation.
Several weeks after the end of Alien Force, forced to sacrifice his Omnitrix before acquiring it, Ben now possess the Ultimatrix that allows him to“evolve”his aliens into more powerful forms. But while first dealing with the Osmosian Aggregor, and other villains coming to Bellwood, Ben and his group deal with the Forever Knights as they prepare for war against an interdimensional being.

Elements of the franchise
In Ben 10: Omniverse, the Nemetrix, a knock off of the original Omnitrix, is introduced. Unlike the Omnitrix and its succeeding models, the Nemetrix uses the DNA of the natural predators of the sentient alien races. Thus, only an animal can utilize the Nemetrix, as s of higher intelligence are unable to use it themselves without incurring mental and/or genetic damage. Plumbers The Plumbers is an organization composed of both human and alien , each of whom possesses a special badge, and all badges bear the intergalactic peace symbol, a green hourglass shape. Later in Omniverse, the Plumbers' symbol becomes a red dot. The badge: • Is a communication device.

• Creates a holographic map that can pin-point the location of another Plumber's badge.

Falling accidentally into the hands of Ben Tennyson (Azmuth had originally intended for Max Tennyson to wield it but ended up in Ben's due to him being a close genetic match to Max), the Original Omnitrix, its Ultimatrix replacement, and the “finalized”version that is the New Omnitrix are the central elements of the Ben 10 story. They are all alien devices of level 20 technology developed by Azmuth that transform the into any one of a number of alien beings (originally 1,000,903, but the number has increased by 11 because of the transformations that have been unlocked throughout the series via the “Scan Mode”of every version of the Omnitrix). Despite many seeing the Omnitrix as a weapon, its true purpose was to allow the diverse beings of the universe to understand each other by“walking in each other's shoes” , and to resurrect all of the intelligent “sapien”species in the universe that may go extinct (including the humanrace). Both of these facts are revealed in the Alien Force episode“War of the Worlds”. The second function cannot be achieved by the Ultimatrix (because of Albedo's

In the original series the Earth's Plumbers were a secret government organization that protected the general public from any alien threat. Their main base was located inside Mt. Rushmore, where the Null Void projector and SubEnergy were stored. Their main adversary was Vilgax. Max was a Plumbers member in his youth. Most of the Plumbers have disbanded; however, a few (like Max and his relatives) remain in a semi-active capacity. Forever Knights The Forever Knights are a secret British society/paramilitary group first formed during the Middle Ages that are dedicated to collect and study alien technology, usually by illegal means. Any aliens they capture along the way are dissected and studied, and any humans caught with them are immediately deemed worthless and disposed off. It is revealed in Ben 10: Ultimate Alien that the reason for their actions is to combat Diagon,

The Forever Knights also arm themselves with a large variety of medieval weapons enhanced by alien technology, with Lightsaber-like swords, lances,“laser lances”, laser guns and electro shock rods being their most common ones. Anodites Anodites are a humanoid race of energy beings from the planet “Anodyne”.

Their aging process making them look younger, Galvans also possess a secondary brain that serves for essential bodily functions like walking and breathing. The Galvans originally had no empire to speak of, were recognized from their skills and were employed by other species as industrial technicians, spies and saboteurs. But in time, keeping their projects top secret, they amassed their acquired knowledge to build a powerful empire of their own based on the technology they had kept from the rest of the universe. The Galvans had also played a role in the creation of Stonehedge, as a form of practical joke, and the Galvanic Mechamorphs, the source of Ben's Upgrade form. The Galvan planet was believed to be put together by the Omnitrix in the original series. In the second franchise, Vilgax Attacks, the Galvans were forced to control Alien X. Paradox apparently told Ben to use it to unleash a force field and stop Vilgax.
They are based on a vital energy called “Mana”, that is present in all living things and beings throughout the entire universe, known as the life source energy. For Anodites, this is a source of power, and they also have the ability to control it like“magic”(which is confirmed to be derived from Mana). A key difference is that this form of magic (or at least magical rituals) relies much more on the use of spoken incantations, spell books, charms and talismans, and even celestial events, to achieve the magical and mystical effects the caster desires.

However, due to Proctor Servantis altering Kevin's memories, it was originally believed that Osmosians originate from the planet “Osmos V”. As Servantis explains, each Osmosian possesses a unique power. In the case of Kevin Levin and Aggregor, both possess the ability to absorb. However, while Kevin's ability allows him to alter the chemical makeup of his body by absorbing the matter of whatever he touches, which can have horrific results if he absorbs energy and alien DNA, Aggregor can drain energy from living beings. It can be argued that other characters in the series such as Cooper Daniels and Clancy may also count as Osmosians.
Ship is a Galvanic Mechamorph (Upgrade's species) alien that has the ability to transform himself into fully operational technology he's once touched. He merged with the Forever Knights spaceship, from this event, he became the space transportation for Ben's team during the season 3 of Ben 10: Alien Force. The Rust Bucket III, a Plumbers' jet that Kevin has upgraded with alien tech, replaced him. Kevin's car is a Muscle car resembling a Dodge Challenger armed with Plumber technology as well as other various alien tech, including guns and off-road capabilities. It is the team's main transport in Ben 10: Alien Force and Ben 10: Ultimate Alien. It is damaged or destroyed a lot, mainly during fights or chase scenes, and Kevin is constantly busy repairing it. In Omniverse after Ben destroyed it at Upgrade, he gave it a new look. He painted it blue and placed a white circle with the number 11 on it, with only one stripe.
Galvans Galvans (a play on galvanization) ( also known as Grey Matter) are small bipedal frog-like beings, originally from Galvan Prime; currently they live in Galvan Mark II. Among the notable Galvans in the series is Azmuth, who created the Omnitrix (among many other Ben also drives a Sports car resembling a heavily modified things); Azmuth is also considered the most intelligent Mazda RX-8 in the Ben 10: Ultimate Alien andBen 10: being in the Universe. The Galvan race is best known Alien Force.

It can transform into a ship, and according to Kevin, the ship transforms with a nanoship transformer. For defense, it can fire energy blasts, and can nearly survive almost any destruction it hits. It's Ben and Rook's main transport in Omniverse. Ben now drives a motorcycle, known as the Tenn Speed. At one point after Rook's TRUK got destroyed (which later got rebuilt), Ben turned into Jury Rigg and rebuilt it into his own motorcycle. When Ben rides the motorcycle, it scans him into a motorcycle suit. Ben occasionally drives it when Rook isn't available. Allusions The series often makes references and parodies to popular culture: • Ben 10 • Ben 10: Alien Force • Ben 10: Ultimate Alien • Ben 10: Omniverse Running gags • Many characters prefer violent solutions rather than verbal ones, especially Kevin, who prefers to hit people before talking, but is stopped by Gwen, who is much more sensitive than him. Also, Ben prefers using a big, powerful alien in many situations, but ends up turning into another alien, especially Grey Matter, a small and less powerful genetic Galvan, and Nanomech, a humanoid insect.

MISCELLANY match what“held the most sway”to whoever looked upon them in the Omniverse finale, Ben saw them as living versions of the Mr. Smoothy mascot. • Sumo Slammers is a large franchise spawning up to video games, trading card games, TV shows, movies, mp3 players, etc., which appears often in the Ben 10 series. The storyline of the franchise is similar to anime stories, although the details were not shown, but it tells about a warrior called Ishiyama and his archenemy called Kenko with the ability to shapeshift. In Alien Force/Ultimate Alien Kenko has somehow ed forces with Ishiyama, a nod to former villain Kevin 11 teaming up with Ben and Gwen Tennyson. Ben has been a huge fan since he was young, and is always trying to do something linked with it, such as knowing the news about them and pretending that he is fighting like them. • Kevin's car is a muscle car armed with Plumber technology as well as other various alien tech, including guns and off-road capabilities. As it is often damaged or destroyed (such as during fights or chase scenes), Kevin is constantly repairing it. The Rust Bucket III has also become a part of this running gag. In the episode “Video Game”, Kevin seems to think Ben's destruction of Will's car is not a good way of getting back at Harangue for his rage focused at Ben. Due to Kevin's obsession with own his car, it is likely a joke referencing that. • Since “War of the Worlds”, due to Ben's worldwide fame, he shows some typical celebrity behavior, where he is chased by fans and shows off, hoping that someone will notice and adore him. He constantly claims to have “saved the universe”. • Whenever Pakmar is shown running a business(in Omniverse), on several occasions, Ben accidentally destroys it, or gets blamed for have reckoning it, which causes him to hate him, and demands him to pay him back on multiple points.
• During the original series, Ben has a lack of hygiene, and this is briefly seen in the other series. It is sometimes mentioned that he rarely washes himself or never changes clothes, claiming the shirt that is commonly worn throughout the first series is the only shirt he used during the entire summer. Recurring elements • Mr. Smoothy is a restaurant that serves mostly smoothies at which Ben and his friends are regular customers. The titular mascot is a cup with face and legs that holds a smaller cup. It serves the strangest assortment of flavors in its smoothies, made to order. Among the strange flavors which Ben drinks are: “chocolate and carrot", "nectarine", "mango and blueberry with extra echinacea" and “all-meat flavored smoothies such as lamb and sardine". In Bellwood there are 23 Mr. Smoothy restaurants, and in some episodes some of them are destroyed because of Ben. Additionally, when confronted by an alien race whose physical appearance changed to
Technologies The advanced technologies shown are both alien and from Earth. In the series, they are divided in levels of complication, danger or sophistication. The levels known thus far are 1-20, although some technology is confirmed to be higher than Level 20. Any tech above the allowed level used on this planet, is considered illegal. Earth is a level 2 planet, something that is considered very inferior by other aliens, as it was stated once that Earth is at least 500 years away from being level 3. The Omnitrix and the Ultimatix are Level 20. Dwayne McDuffie describes some levels:

He used Swampfire to sign The Declaration of Independence; and Humungousaur to defeat the British, and to smash down a junior high school bully's house in revenge. He also used other aliens from Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, where they have his hair and glasses. • Also in MAD, a reference to Alien Force was made with a parody of the movie Cowboys & Aliens, with many titles: “Cowboys & Alien Force”, “Cowboys & Equestrians”and“Cowboys & Silly Bands” . The reference was made at the beginning, where Jake awakes with Ben on his side, but Jake wearing his Omnitrix, pants and hat. He also used the Omnitrix to become an alien with the mix of Diamondhead, Chromastone and Way Big to smash a cowboy. • In the South Park episode "You're Getting Old", Cartman's Mother mentions that Cartman gets upset when he does not get a present every time someone else gets a present at a party.

For other Studios Popeye cartoons. uses, see Cartoon Network (disambiguation). In 1991, Turner Entertainment purchased animation studio Hanna-Barbera Productions for US$320 million.* [5] Cartoon Network is an American basic cable and satellite television channel that is owned by the Turner Broadcasting System division of Time Warner. The Cohen era: 1992–2001 channel airs mainly animated programming, ranging from action to animated comedy. It was founded by Betty Cohen and launched on October 1, 1992. It is primarily aimed at children and teenagers between the ages of 7–15, and also targets older teens and adults with mature content during its late night daypart Adult Swim, which is treated as a separate entity for promotional purposes and as a separate channel by Nielsen for ratings purposes.* [1] A Spanish language audio track for select programs is accessible via SAP; some cable and satellite companies offer the Spanish feed as a separate channel. As of August 2013, Cartoon Network is available to approximately 98,671,000 pay television households (86.4% of households with television) in the United States.* [2]

History
Development: 1986–92 On August 4, 1986, Ted Turner's Turner Broadcasting System acquired Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/United Artists from Kirk Kerkorian; due to concerns over the debt load of his companies, on October 17, 1986, Turner was forced to sell MGM back to Kerkorian after approximately only 74 days of ownership. However, Turner kept much of MGM's film and television library made prior to May 1986 (as well as some of the United Artists library) and formed Turner Entertainment.* [3]

Launch On February 18, 1992, Turner Broadcasting System announced its plans to launch the Cartoon Network as an outlet for Turner's considerable library of animation.* [6] The channel's launch occurred on October 1, 1992, and was hosted by the MGM cartoon character Droopy in a special event called Droopy's Guide to the Cartoon Network, during which the first cartoon on the network, The Great Piggy Bank Robbery, was shown.* [7]* [8]* [9]* [10] Initial programming on the channel consisted exclusively of reruns of classic Warner Bros. cartoons (the pre-1950 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies), the 1933–1957 Popeye cartoons, MGM cartoons, and Hanna-Barbera cartoons.* [6] At first, cable providers in New York City, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and Detroit carried the channel.* [9] By the time the network launched, Cartoon Network had an 8,500-hour cartoon library.* [11] From its launch until 1995, the network's announcers said the network's name with the word “The”added before “Cartoon Network”, thus calling the network “The Cartoon Network”. By the time that the network debuted, Cartoon Network also operated a programming block (containing its cartoons) that aired on TNT, entitled “Cartoon Network on TNT”.
On October 3, 1988, its cable channel Turner Network Television was launched and had gained an audience with its extensive film library.* [4] At this time, Turner's an- Cartoon Network was not the first cable channel to have imation library included the MGM cartoon library, the relied on cartoons to attract an audience. Nickelodeon pre-1948 color Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts, had paved the way in the 1980s. On August 11, 1991, 1
2 Nickelodeon had launched three“high-profile”animated series: Doug, Rugrats and Ren & Stimpy, further signifying the importance of cartoons in its programming. The Disney Channel and The Family Channel had also included animated shows as part of their programming schedules, as did USA Network, whose Cartoon Express was widely popular. In each of these cases, until October 1, 1992, cartoons were only broadcast during the morning or the early afternoon. Prime time and late night hours were reserved for live-action programs, following the assumption that television animation could only attract child audiences, while Cartoon Network was a 24-hour single-genre channel with animation as its main theme. Turner Broadcasting System had defied conventional wisdom before by launching CNN, a channel providing 24-hour news coverage. The concept was previously thought unlikely to attract a sufficient audience to be particularly profitable, however the CNN experiment had been successful and Turner hoped that Cartoon Network would also find success.* [12] Initially, the channel would broadcast cartoons 24 hours a day. Most of the short cartoons were aired in half-hour or hour-long packages, usually separated by character or studio – Down Wit' Droopy D aired old Droopy Dog shorts, The Tom and Jerry Show presented the classic cat-andmouse team, and Bugs and Daffy Tonight provided classic Looney Tunes shorts. Late Night Black and White showed early black-and-white cartoons (mostly from the Fleischer Studios and Walter Lantz cartoons from the 1930s, as well as black-and-white Merrie Melodies and MGM cartoons), and ToonHeads would show three shorts with a similar theme and provide trivia about the cartoons. There was also an afternoon cartoon block called High Noon Toons, which was hosted by cowboy hand puppets (an example of the simplicity and imagination the network had in its early years). The majority of the classic animation that was shown on Cartoon Network no longer air on a regular basis, with the exception of Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes. A challenge for Cartoon Network was to overcome its low penetration of existing cable systems. When launched on October 1, 1992, the channel was only carried by 233 cable systems. However, it benefited from package deals. New subscribers to sister channels TNT and TBS could also get access to Cartoon Network through such deals. The high ratings of Cartoon Network over the following couple of years led to more cable systems including it. By the end of 1994, Cartoon Network had become“the fifth most popular cable channel in the United States”.* [12] Series For the first few years of Cartoon Network's existence, programming meant for the channel would also be simulcast on TBS and/or TNT, both of which were still full-service cable networks that carried a variety of different programming genera, in order to increase the shows' (and Cartoon Network's) exposure; examples include The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, Cartoon Planet, SWAT
CHAPTER 1. OVERVIEW Kats: The Radical Squadron and 2 Stupid Dogs. The network's first exclusive original show was The Moxy Show, an animation anthology series first airing in 1993.* [13] The first series produced by Cartoon Network was Space Ghost Coast to Coast in 1994, but the show mostly consisted of “recycled animation cells” from the archives of Hanna-Barbera, being an ironic deconstruction of a talk show. It featured live-action guests, mostly consisting of celebrities which were past their prime or counterculture figures. A running gag was that the production cost was dubbed “minimal”. The series found its audience among young adults who appreciated its "hip" perspective.* [14] Kevin Sandler considered Space Ghost Coast to Coast instrumental in establishing Cartoon Network's appeal to older audiences. Space Ghost, a 1960s superhero by Hanna-Barbera, was recast as the star of a talk show parody. This was arguably the first time the network revived a “classic animated icon”in an entirely new context for comedic purposes. Grown-ups who had ceased enjoying the original takes on the characters could find amusement in the“new ironic and self-referential context”for them. Promotional shorts such as the“Scooby-Doo Project”, a parody of the The Blair Witch Project, gave similar treatments to the Scooby gang.* [15] However, there were less successful efforts at such revivals. A Day in the Life of Ranger Smith and Boo Boo Runs Wild (1999) were short cartoons featuring new takes on Yogi Bear's ing cast by John Kricfalusi. Their style of humor, sexual content and break in tone from the source material was rather out of place among the rest of the Cartoon Network shows, and the network rarely found a place for them in its programming.* [16] In 1994, Hanna-Barbera's new division Cartoon Network Studios was founded and started production on What a Cartoon! (also known as World Premiere Toons and Cartoon Cartoons). This show debuted in 1995, offering original animated shorts commissioned from Hanna-Barbera and various independent animators. The network promoted the series as an attempt to return to the “classic days”of studio animation, offering full animator control, high budgets, and no limited animation. The project was spearheaded by Cartoon Network executives, plus John Kricfalusi and Fred Seibert. Kricfalusi was the creator of The Ren & Stimpy Show and served as an advisor to the network, while Seibert was formerly one of the driving forces behind Nickelodeon's Nicktoons and would go on to produce the similar animation anthology series Oh Yeah! Cartoons and Random! Cartoons.* [14]* [17] 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.* [14] Dexter's Laboratory was the most popular short series according to a vote held in 1995 and eventually became the first spin-off of What a Cartoon! in 1996. Three more series based on shorts debuted in 1997: Johnny
1.1. CARTOON NETWORK 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 were followed by The Powerpuff Girls in 1998 and concluded with Courage the Cowardly Dog and Mike, Lu & Og in 1999.* [14]* [17]* [18] The unrelated series Ed, Edd n Eddy was also launched in 1999, creating a line-up of critically acclaimed shows.* [12] Many of these series 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 series beginning on June 11, 1999. In 1997, Cartoon Network launched a new action block called Toonami, which in its original incarnation had included shows like Sailor Moon, Tenchi Muyo!", Gundam Wing and “soon to be phenomenon across the nation” Dragon Ball Z. Toonami was hosted by Moltar from the Space Ghost franchise until 1999, where Toonami was later hosted by its own original character “T.O.M.”.
3 September 1999 (from Nickelodeon) and October 2000 (from ABC), however, the majority of the post-July 1948 cartoons that were shown on its now-sibling broadcast network The WB's Kids' WB block began airing on Cartoon Network in January 1997. Newer animated productions by Warner Bros.' animation subsidiary also started appearing on the network – mostly reruns of shows that had aired on Kids' WB and some from Fox Kids, along with certain new programs such as Justice League.* [20] Cartoon Network's programming would not be available in Canada until 1997, when a Canadian specialty channel called Teletoon and its French language counterpart launched.

and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs, Peppa Pig, Firehouse Tales, and Gerald McBoing-Boing. The block was a major failure to the network, and was plugged months after its premiere, making it one of the shortest-lived blocks on the station. On December 8, 2006, Cartoon Network produced their first live-action television movie called Re-Animated, a collaboration between both live-action and animation. A year later in 2007, the film was spun off into its own halfhour series entitled Out of Jimmy's Head, which continues the events of the film. This was also the first show on Cartoon Network to feature live-action characters as the main cast, even though it was not the first to combine live-action and animation together (the first being Space Ghost Coast to Coast). The show was short-lived, as it only lasted for 20 episodes, making Out of Jimmy's Head the only show on Cartoon Network to be affected by the Writers Guild of America strike in 2007.
CHAPTER 1. OVERVIEW was working on a new project called Cartoonstitute, which was headed by animators Craig McCracken as executive producer and Rob Renzetti as supervising producer. Both reported to Rob Scorcher, who created the idea. It would have worked similar to What a Cartoon!, by creating at least 150 pieces of animation within 20 months.* [26] Cartoonstitute was eventually cancelled, and out of all the shorts, two or three, Regular Show, Secret Mountain Fort Awesome and Uncle Grandpa, were selected, after animator Craig McCracken (creator of The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends) left the network after 15 years in 2009. On September 20, 2008, Cartoon Network ended Toonami after its 11-year run.* [27] On May 25, 2008, Cartoon Network began airing animated shorts that served as interstitials between programs, called“Wedgies”, which included The Talented Mr. Bixby, Nacho Bear, Big Baby and The Burmeno Avenue Experience. The Wedgies shorts ran from 2008 to 2009, with a second run in 2010; the shorts were discontinued afterward, although reruns can still be seen on Boomerang as of March 2013. On July 14, 2008, the network took on a refreshed look created by Tristan Eaton and was animated by Crew972. The bumpers of that era had white, faceless characters called Noods, based on the DIY toy, Munny. The standard network logo was then completely white, adopting different colors based on the occasion in the same style.* [28] As April 23, 2009, Cartoon Network launched the pacific time zone western feed after Nick GAS discontinued for Dish Network customers.
In June 2009, Cartoon Network introduced a block of live-action reality shows called“CN Real”, featuring programs such as The Othersiders, Survive This, BrainRush, Destroy Build Destroy, Dude, What Would Happen and Bobb'e Says.* [29] The network also aired some limited sports programming, including basketball recaps and Snyder era: 2007–14 Slamball games, during commercial breaks. That year, it also started airing live-action feature films from Warner Samples resigned from his post on February 9, 2007, Bros. and New Line Cinema. following a bomb scare in Boston caused by packages left around the city that were part of an outdoor marketing campaign promoting the Adult Swim series Aqua Teen Hunger Force.* [23]* [24] Following Samples's resignation, Stuart Snyder was named his successor.* [25] On September 1, 2007, the network's look was revamped, and bumpers and channel identification were themed to The Hives song Fall is Just Something That Grown-Ups A variation of the network's current logo which resembles its origInvented.

Since the up next bumpers could not of been found, a fan has recreated them in the references. These bumps were later replaces by the 'Check It' rebrand on May 29, 2010.* [30]* [31]
5 In 2011, Cartoon Network began broadcasting the Mondo TV's animated series Virus Attack, an animated cartoon created to raise awareness of pollution-related problems in the audience of youngsters. The series consists of 52 episodes of about 13 minutes each and was first aired on 1 April 2011.

inates from the network's in-house studio, Cartoon Network Studios. The studio originally began as a small division of Hanna-Barbera but eventually was spun off when that studio was folded into Warner Bros. Animation in the late 1990s. This studio would produce some of the network's earliest original series, including Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, The Powerpuff Girls, Ed, Edd n Eddy and Cow & Chicken.

The program Cartoon Network benefited from having access to a large collection of animated programming, including the libraries of Warner Bros. (Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies), Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (Tom and Jerry and other series), and Hanna-Barbera (The Flintstones, Scooby-Doo, Snorks, and others). Especially in its earlier years, the company's co-ownership with HannaBarbera gave the network access to an established animation studio, something chief rival Nickelodeon did not yet have.* [54]

As of 2012, the Cartoon Cartoons along with other Cartoon Network Studios shows (from the post-Cartoon Cartoons era) have been airing in reruns on the 2012 revival of Cartoon Planet, a block strictly airing Cartoon Cartoons and other original shows for the network's 20th anMuch of Cartoon Network's original programming orig- niversary.

Marketing
Cartoon Network shows with established fan followings, such as Dexter's Laboratory, allowed the network to pursue licensing agreements with companies interested in selling series-related merchandise. For example, agreements with Kraft Foods led to widespread in-store advertising for Cartoon Network-related products. The network also worked on cross-promotion campaigns with both Kraft and Tower Records. In product development and marketing, the network has benefited from its relation to corporate parent Time Warner, allowing for mutually beneficial relationships with various subsidiary companies.* [55] Time Warner Cable, the former cable television subsidiary of the corporate parent (which was spun off from Time Warner in 2009), distributes Cartoon Network as part of its packages. Turner Broadcasting System, the subsidiary overseeing various Time Warner-owned networks, helped cross-promote Cartoon Network shows and at times arranged for swapping certain shows between the networks. For example, Samurai Jack, one of CN's original shows, was at times seen at Kids' WB, while Cardcaptors, an anime licensed by Kids' WB, was at times seen at Cartoon Network. In each case, the swap intended to cultivate a shared audience for the two networks. Time Inc., the former subsidiary overseeing the magazines of the corporate parent, ensured favorable coverage of Cartoon Network and advertising space across its publications. Printed ments for CN shows could appear in magazines such as Time, Entertainment Weekly and Sports Illustrated Kids until Time Inc. was spun off from Time Warner on June 9, 2014. AOL, a now-former sibling company to Time Warner covering Internet services, helped promote Cartoon Network shows online by offering exclusive contents for certain animated series, online sweepstakes and display advertising for CN.* [55] Warner Home Video, the home video subsidiary, distributed VHS tapes, DVDs and Blu-ray Discs featuring Cartoon Network shows. Select Warner Bros. Family Entertainment VHS releases came with bonus cartoons from Cartoon Network. Rhino Entertainment, the former record label subsidiary of the corporate parent (which was spun off from Time Warner in 2004), distributed cassette tapes and CDs with Cartoon Network-related music. These products were also available through the Warner Bros. Studio Store. DC Comics, the comic book subsidiary, published a series featuring the Powerpuff Girls, indicating it could handle other CN-related characters. Warner Bros., the film studio subsidiary, released The Powerpuff Girls Movie in 2002. Kevin Sandler considered it likely that the film would find its way to HBO or Cinemax, two television network subsidiaries which regularly broadcast feature films. Sandler also viewed book tie-ins through Warner Books as likely, since it was the only area of marketing not covered yet by 2001.* [55]

1.1.4 Controversy and censorship Cartoon Network has, during its history, broadcast most of the Warner Bros. animated shorts originally created between the 1920s and the 1960s, but the censorship practices of the network and its corporate parent resulted in editing out scenes depicting discharge of gunfire, alcohol ingestion, cowboys and Indians gags, tobacco, and politically incorrect humor. The unedited versions were kept from both broadcasting and wide release on the video market. Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs (1943), a politically incorrect but critically well-regarded short, was notably omitted entirely, while The Scarlet Pumpernickel (1950) and Feed the Kitty (1952), both well-regarded, had their finales heavily edited due to violence.* [56] There was controversy in 2001 over a network decision concerning further omissions from broadcasting. Cartoon Network scheduled a 49-hour-long marathon promising to broadcast every Bugs Bunny animated short in chronological order. The network originally intended to include 12 shorts that had become controversial for using ethnic stereotypes, albeit broadcasting them past midnight to ensure no children were watching, with introductions concerning their historic value as representatives of another time. The network's corporate parent, however, considered it likely that there would be complaints concerning racial insensitivity. This led to all 12 being omitted in their entirety. Laurie Goldberg, vice-president of public relations, defended the decision, stating, “We're the leader in animation, but we're also one of the toprated general entertainment networks. There are certain responsibilities that come with that”.* [56] Following complaints by its adult fanbase, the network offered a compromise solution: the 12 omitted animated shorts would be included in documentaries. The first such documentary was a special on“The Wartime Cartoons”. It notably included Herr Meets Hare (1945) in its entirety, but only certain clips of Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips (1943). Kevin Sandler considered it a positive sign of the network being willing to “confront and unveil”some of the dishonorable aspects of animated history, but noted that so far only the Warner Bros. shorts got this serious treatment, not the MGM animated shorts also broadcast by the network.* [56] When Cartoon Network began rerunning the original Looney Tunes again in March 2011 (given their own time slot this time in place of marathons during New Year's Day), most censored scenes in some cartoons (along with original title cards) have been reinstated, such as gunfire and alcohol, though the network still edits out racially insensitive scenes. Three of the network's shows, Adventure Time, Regular Show, and Mad have shown scenes of violence, mild profanity, sexual references, sexual themes, drug references, demon possession and alcohol references. Rebroadcasts of these series in earlier timeslots may feature edits for time or content. Examples of cartoons that have had their censored scenes and title cards

Despite this fact, Toonami managed to get these series on the air through editing out heavy amounts of violence, drug usage, language, sexuality and nudity particularly with Rurouni Kenshin, YuYu Hakusho, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Gundam, Dragon Ball Z, Outlaw Star, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Tenchi Muyo!, Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon; however, scenes with some swearing, suggestive dialogue and depictions of blood were broadcast uncensored. Series such as Yu Yu Hakusho, Cyborg 009 and Rurouni Kenshin, which were becoming much too violent and dark to edit, were moved to later timeslots. Anime such as Naruto and One Piece received minor editing and include light swearing, partial nudity, and alcohol references. In November 2006, Cartoon Network and Schoolly D were sued over the authorship of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force theme music. Drummer Terence Yerves claimed he had co-written the theme music with Schoolly D in 1999, while working at the Meat Locker Studio. Yerves was aware the song would be used for a television series but did not approve of it being used for Aqua Teen Hunger Force, however, he did not file the copyright to the Library Of Congress until May 2006, after the series' fourth season had already started airing. Yerves demanded in the lawsuit a payment of $150,000 for each time the series aired after the lawsuit was filled, he also demanded that all existing copies of the series' DVDs be impounded and for Aqua Teen Hunger Force to be cancelled by the network.* [57]

The programs featured on Adult Swim are geared toward an 18+ audience, in contrast to the originally all-ages young Teen and preteen daytime programming on Cartoon Network. Adult Swim has moved its start time up an hour at 8pm on March 31, 2014.

A deal was ultimately made for Cartoon Network to commission the show, after they agreed to let Antonucci go in his own direction. During its run, there have been a number of specials and shorts produced in which the Eds would appear apart from their regular series airings. A number of video games either based on the series or featuring the series' characters have also been produced. The series' TV movie finale, Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show aired on November 8, 2009, officially ending the series.* [4]
The program originated from a short on Cartoon Network's animation showcase series created by HannaBarbera president Fred Seibert, What a Cartoon! titled “The Chicken From Outer Space”.* [6] The segment was nominated for an Academy Award in 1996, and Cartoon Network commissioned a series based on the short.

2.2 What-a-Cartoon What a Cartoon! (later known as The What a Cartoon! Show and The Cartoon Cartoon Show) is an American animation showcase series created by Fred Seibert for Hanna-Barbera Productions which aired on Cartoon Network. The project consisted of 82 short cartoons, intended to return creative power to animators and artists, by recreating the atmospheres that spawned the iconic cartoon characters of the mid-20th century. Each of the shorts mirrored the structure of a theatrical cartoon, with each film being based on an original storyboard drawn and written by its artist or creator. The series first aired on February 20, 1995, and the shorts were promoted as World Premiere Toons. During the original run of the shorts, the series was retitled to The What a Cartoon! Show and later to The Cartoon Cartoon Show until the final short aired on August 23, 2002. The project served as the launching point for multiple Cartoon Network series, including Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny
What a Cartoon! creator Fred Seibert at Vidcon 2014.
Fred Seibert became president of Hanna-Barbera Cartoons in 1992 and helped guide the struggling animation studio into its greatest output in years with shows like 2 Stupid Dogs and SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron. Seibert wanted the studio to produce short cartoons, in the vein of the Golden Age of American animation. Although a project consisting of 48 shorts would cost twice as much as a normal series,* [1] Seibert's pitch to Cartoon Network involved promising 48 chances to “succeed or fail”, opened up possibilities for new original programming, and offered several new shorts to the thousands already present in the Turner Entertainment library.

According to Seibert, quality did not matter much to the ans as well (like Don Jurwich, Jerry Eisenberg, and Ralph cable operators distributing the struggling network, they Bakshi). In addition to the veterans, William Hanna and were more interested in promising new programs.* [2] Joseph Barbera each produced two shorts each for What a Cartoon!.

The diversity in the filmmakers included those from various nationalities, race, and gender. Seibert later described his hope for an idealistic diversity as“The wider the palette of creative influences, the wider and bigger the audiences.”* [4]
Many of the crew of What a Cartoon! later went on to write and direct for Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, I Am Weasel, and The Powerpuff Girls, including those named above. The Kitchen Casanova director John McIntyre is particularly known for directing several Dexter episodes. Ralph Bakshi's two shorts (Malcom and Melvin and Babe! He... Calls Me) were considered too risqué to be shown.* [7] It has been rumored that John Kricfalusi was slated to direct several new What a Cartoon! shorts of his own (produced by his production company, Spümcø).* [8] However, both Yogi Bear-influenced cartoons were commissioned separately by Seibert, and instead premiered as their own: Boo Boo Runs Wild and A Day in the Life of Ranger Smith both premiered in 1999.* [9]
Seibert's idea for the project was influenced heavily by Looney Tunes.* [4] Hanna-Barbera founders and chairmen William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, as well as veteran animator Friz Freleng, taught Seibert how the shorts of the Golden Age of American animation were produced.

Broadcast
The format for What a Cartoon! was ambitious, as no one had ever attempted anything similar in the television animation era.* [4] The shorts produced would be a product of the original cartoonists' vision, with no executive intervention: for example, even the music would be an individually crafted score. Each "Looney Tunes length” (7 minutes) short would debut, by itself, as a stand-alone cartoon on Cartoon Network.* [3]* [4] Seibert explained the project's goal in a 2007 blog post: “We didn’t care what the sitcom trends were, what Nickelodeon was doing, what the sales departments wanted. [...] We wanted cartoons.”* [4] Crew
Intertitle for What a Cartoon! 's World Premiere Toons.
The What a Cartoon! staff had creators from Europe and Canada (Bruno Bozzetto), Asia (Achiu So), and the United States (Jerry Reynolds and colleague Seth MacFarlane). The crew also contained young series first timers (like Genndy Tartakovsky, Craig McCracken, Rob Renzetti, Butch Hartman, and John Dilworth), but veter-
The first cartoon from the What a Cartoon! project broadcast in its entirety was The Powerpuff Girls in Meat Fuzzy Lumkins, which made its world premiere on Monday, February 20, 1995, during a television special called the World Premiere Toon-In (termed“President's Day Nightmare”by its producers, Williams Street). The special
20 was hosted by Space Ghost and the cast of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, and featured comic interviews and a mock contest with the creators of the various cartoons. The Toon-In was simulcast on Cartoon Network, TBS Superstation, and TNT. To promote the shorts, Cartoon Network's marketing department came up with the concept of “Dive-In Theater”in 1995 to showcase the 48 cartoon shorts. The cartoons were shown at water parks and large municipal swimming pools, treating kids and their parents to exclusive poolside screenings on 9' x 12' movie screens.* [11]
CHAPTER 2. THE CARTOON CARTOONS Next Door in 2002. Two pilots entitled King Crab: Space Crustacean and Thrillseeker, respectively dated 1999 and 2000, was also retconned into The Cartoon Cartoon Show anthology.
Beginning February 26, 1995, each What a Cartoon! short began to premiere on Sunday nights, promoted as World Premiere Toons.* [12] Every week after the premiere, Cartoon Network showcased a different World Premiere Toons made by a different artist. After an acclimation of cartoons, the network packaged the shorts as a half-hour show titled World Premiere Toons: The Next Generation, featuring reruns of the original shorts but also new premieres. Intertitle for What a Cartoon! in its third incarnation, The Cartoon Cartoon Show (2000–03; 2005–08).
On June 9, 2000, The What a Cartoon! Show was relaunched as The Cartoon Cartoon Show. In this new format, it aired reruns and new episodes of the full-series Cartoon Cartoons, as well as new Cartoon Cartoon shorts and old WAC! shorts. From 2000 to 2001, the pilot shorts appearing on the network's viewer's poll that lost to The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and Codename: Kids Next Door were added to the anthology. The show continued to air until October 9, 2003, when it was temporarily dropped from the network's schedule.
Intertitle for What a Cartoon! in its second incarnation, The What a Cartoon! Show (1996–97).
Eventually, all of the cartoons were compiled into one program bearing the name of the original project: The What a Cartoon! Show.* [5] The show's initial premieres for each short preceded Cartoon Network's Sunday night movie block, Mr. Spim's Cartoon Theatre. The shorts continued to air on Sundays until 1997, when the network moved the shorts to Wednesdays at 9pm.* [13] Following the premiere of Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken and I Am Weasel as full series in July 1997, the series shifted to Thursday nights, where it remained.* [14] The What a Cartoon! Show continued airing new episodes on Thursdays until November 28, 1997, when the final short of the 48 contracted during Seibert's era aired. In 1998, Cartoon Network debuted two new short pilots and d them as World Premiere Toons: Mike, Lu & Og and Kenny and the Chimp in“Diseasy Does It!",* [8] both of which were produced by outside studios. The two pilots were later compiled into The Cartoon Cartoon Show, while both shorts eventually garnered their own series, Mike, Lu & Og in 1999 and Codename: Kids
On September 12, 2005, The Cartoon Cartoon Show was revived, this time as a half-hour program featuring segments of older Cartoon Cartoons that were no longer shown regularly on the network, such as Johnny Bravo, The Powerpuff Girls, I Am Weasel, and others. Some Cartoon Cartoons were moved exclusively to this show and the Top 5, though there was also some overlap with shows that already had regular half-hour slots outside the series (such as Courage the Cowardly Dog, which returned in October 2006 as part of The Grim and Courage Hour). In 2006, the programming was expanded to also include non-Cartoon Cartoons that were regularly shown on the network, such as Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Camp Lazlo, My Gym Partner's a Monkey, and Squirrel Boy. The show ended on June 1, 2008.* [15]* [16] In 2007, reruns of What a Cartoon! played briefly on Cartoon Network's retro animation sister channel, Boomerang.* [17] Legacy Dexter's Laboratory was the most popular short series according to a vote held in 1995 and eventually became the first spin-off of What a Cartoon! in 1996. Two more series based on shorts, Johnny Bravo and Cow and
2.2. WHAT-A-CARTOON Chicken, premiered in 1997, and The Powerpuff Girls became a weekly half-hour show in 1998. Courage the Cowardly Dog (spun off from the Oscar-nominated short The Chicken from Outer Space) followed as the final spin-off in 1999. In addition, the Cow and Chicken short I Am Weasel eventually was also spun off into a separate series: in all, six cartoon series were ultimately launched by the What a Cartoon! project, any one of which earned enough money for the company to pay for the whole program.* [5] In addition to the eventual spin-offs, the What a Cartoon! short Larry and Steve by Seth MacFarlane featured prototypes of characters that would later go on to become MacFarlane's massively successful Family Guy. The What a Cartoon! project and its assorted spin-offs brought Cartoon Network more commercial and critical success, and the network became an animation industry leader as the 1990s drew to a close. In 2001, coinciding with the death of William Hanna, Hanna-Barbera Productions merged with Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network opened its own production arm, Cartoon Network Studios, in Burbank, as the rightful HannaBarbera successor to produce original programming for the network and future projects. Two What a Cartoon! shorts, Windup Wolf and Hard Luck Duck, were the last cartoon shorts directed and produced by co-founder and co-chairman William Hanna. In addition, What a Cartoon! and spin-offs were the final original productions released by Hanna-Barbera. Creator of the What a Cartoon! Show, Fred Seibert, left Hanna-Barbera in late 1996 to open up his own studio, Frederator Studios, and to produce Nickelodeon's own version of What a Cartoon!, titled Oh Yeah! Cartoons.* [18] The showcase contained familiar What a Cartoon! alumni (Butch Hartman, Rob Renzetti) and launched several successful Nickelodeon series, including The Fairly OddParents, ChalkZone and My Life as a Teenage Robot. Frederator Studios launched another animation showcase in 2006, titled Random! Cartoons, which in turn produced Nickelodeon's Fanboy and Chum Chum in 2009 and Cartoon Network's Adventure Time in 2010.

2.2.2 List of shorts Original show The following is a list of the original shorts produced under Fred Seibert's management for What a Cartoon! by Hanna-Barbera. The shorts are listed in by director and/or creator, and do not contain extra cartoons added on by Cartoon Network when the show was re-titled The Cartoon Cartoon Show. Cartoon Cartoon shorts Two Cartoon Cartoon shorts were produced in 1998 and one in 1999. All Cartoon Cartoon shorts produced between 2000 and 2001 were entered in The Big Pick, a contest to choose the newest Cartoon Cartoon. The shorts premiered on Cartoon Cartoon Fridays in the weeks leading up to “The Big Pick”and the winner was revealed during the actual event. The winners were The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, in 2000, and Codename: Kids Next Door, in 2001. In 2002, 8 new shorts premiered during the Cartoon Cartoon Weekend Summerfest, only this time, they weren't competing against one another. These were the final Cartoon Cartoon shorts before the brand name was dropped. One short, LowBrow, was given its own series called Megas XLR. Cartoon Cartoon segments From 2000 to 2003, The Cartoon Cartoon Show featured new episodes and reruns of the full-series Cartoon Cartoons, interspersed with premieres and reruns of the Cartoon Cartoon shorts (some of which were retconned WAC! shorts). From 2005 to 2008, the block was revived, this time dropping the shorts. Episodes from each show were anthologized into 7 or 11-minute segments.

Dexter's Laboratory (commonly abbreviated as Dexter's Lab) is an American comic science fiction animated television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network. The series follows Dexter, a boygenius with a secret laboratory, which he fills with his marvelous inventions. Dexter constantly battles against his sister Dee Dee, who always manages to gain access to his lab, despite his best efforts to keep her out. He also engages in a bitter rivalry with his neighbor and fellowgenius Mandark. The series' first two seasons contain additional segments: Dial M for Monkey, which focuses on Dexter's pet lab-monkey-turned-superhero, and The Justice Friends, about a trio of superheroes who share an apartment.

Dexter's Laboratory received high ratings and became one of Cartoon Network's most popular and successful original series. During its run, the series was nominated for 4 Primetime Emmy Awards, 4 Golden Reel Awards, and 9 Annie Awards, winning 3 additional Annie Awards. The series is notable for helping launch the careers of several cartoonists, such as Craig McCracken (The Powerpuff Girls, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, and Wander Over Yonder), Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, American Dad!, and The Cleveland Show), Butch Hartman (The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom, and T.U.F.F. Puppy), and Rob Renzetti (My Life as a Teenage Robot). Spin-off media include comic books, DVD and VHS releases, music albums, collectible toys, and video games.
2.3.1 Overview The series revolves around Dexter (voiced by Christine Cavanaugh in seasons 1–2; Candi Milo in seasons 3–4), a boy-genius who has built a secret laboratory hidden behind a bookcase in his bedroom. The laboratory is filled with highly advanced equipment and access is achieved by speaking various s or by activating hidden switches on Dexter's bookshelf (e.g. pulling out a specific book). Though highly intelligent, Dexter often fails

at what he has set out to do when he becomes overexcited and makes careless choices. He manages to keep the lab a secret from his clueless, cheerful parents (voiced by Jeff Bennett and Kath Soucie), who never notice any evidence of it. Although he comes from a typical all-American family, Dexter speaks with a thick accent of indeterminate origin. Cavanaugh described it as “an affectation, some kind of accent, we're not quite sure. A small Peter Lorre, but not. Perhaps he's Latino, perhaps he's French. He's a scientist; he knows he needs some kind of accent.” * [1] Genndy Tartakovsky explained,“He considers himself a very serious scientist, and all well-known scientists have accents.”* [2] Dexter is frequently in conflict with his hyperactive older sister, Dee Dee (voiced by Allison Moore in seasons 1 and 3; Kathryn Cressida in seasons 2 and 4). In spite of Dexter's advanced technology, Dee Dee eludes all manner of security, and once inside her brother's laboratory, she delights in playing haphazardly, often wreaking havoc with his inventions. Though generally dim-witted, Dee Dee occasionally outsmarts her brother and even gives him helpful advice. For his part, Dexter, though annoyed by his intrusive sibling, feels a reluctant affection for her and will come to her defense if she is imperiled. Dexter's nemesis is a rival boy-genius from his school named Susan“Mandark”Astronomonov* [3]* [4] (voiced by Eddie Deezen). Mandark also has his own laboratory, but his schemes are generally evil and designed to gain power while downplaying or destroying Dexter's accomplishments. As the series progresses, Mandark becomes significantly more evil, with his laboratory darkerlooking, industrial, and angular in contrast to his original brightly lit lab with rounded features. Because Dexter's inventions are often better than his, Mandark tries to make up for this by stealing Dexter's plans. Mandark's weakness is his love for Dee Dee, though she ignores him and never returns his affections.
Recurring segments Most episodes of Dexter's Laboratory are divided into three different stories or segments, each one being approximately 8 minutes in length. Occasionally, the middle segment centered around characters from the Dexter's Laboratory universe other than Dexter and his family. Two of these segments were shown primarily during the first season: Dial M for Monkey and The Justice Friends.* [5] Dial M for Monkey was the middle segment for the first six episodes of season one, and The Justice Friends took its place for the rest of the season.
In the pilot, Dexter (right) and his sister Dee Dee (left) fight over a device that changes people into animals.
the Commander General (voiced by Robert Ridgely and later Earl Boen), and a team of assembled superheroes. Dial M for Monkey was created by Genndy Tartakovsky, Craig McCracken, and Paul Rudish.* [6] The Justice Friends consists of Major Glory (voiced by Rob Paulsen), Valhallen (voiced by Tom Kenny), and the Infraggable Krunk (voiced by Frank Welker), a team of superheroes who are all roommates living in an apartment complex called Muscular Arms. Most of the adventures of the trio deal less with their lives as superheroes and more with their inability to get along as roommates; it is presented as a sitcom, including a laugh track. Genndy Tartakovsky's inspiration for The Justice Friends came from reading Marvel Comics when he was learning how to speak English.* [7] Tartakovsky stated in an interview with IGN that he was somewhat disappointed with how The Justice Friends turned out, saying, “it could have been funnier and the characters could have been fleshed out more.”* [8]
Between the three main segments in seasons one and two are brief mini-segments, many of which feature only Dexter and Dee Dee. Other characters from the series may star in them also, such as “The Puppet Pals”, two live-action puppets named Puppet Pal Mitch (voiced The Dial M for Monkey shorts feature Dexter's pet labo- by Rob Paulsen) and Puppet Pal Clem (voiced by Tom ratory monkey, Monkey (vocal effects by Frank Welker), Kenny). whom Dexter believes is an ordinary monkey and nothing more. In contrast, Monkey secretly has superpowers and fights evil as the superhero Monkey. Monkey is ed 2.3.2 History by his partner Agent Honeydew (voiced by Kath Soucie),
26 Influences and design Dexter's Laboratory was inspired by one of Genndy Tartakovsky's drawings of a ballerina.* [9]* [10] After drawing Dee Dee's tall, thin shape, he decided to pair her with a short and blocky opposite, Dexter, inspired by Tartakovsky's older brother Alex.* [11] The series was animated in a stylized way, which Tartakovsky says was influenced by the Merrie Melodies cartoon The Dover Boys at Pimento University.* [12] Dexter's Laboratory, however, was staged in a cinematic way, rather than flat and close to the screen, to leave space and depth for the action and gags. Tartakovsky was also influenced by other Warner Bros. cartoons, Hanna-Barbera, Japanese mecha anime, and the UPA shorts. Tartakovsky has said the character Dexter was designed “as an icon” —his body is short and squat and his design is simple, with a black outline and relatively little detail. Since he knew that he was deg the show for television, he purposely limited the design to a certain degree, deg the nose and mouth, for instance, in a Hanna-Barbera style to animate easily.* [13] Production
Series creator Genndy Tartakovsky worked on Dexter's Laboratory from its inception through the end of the second season. He also directed the television movie Ego Trip.
Dexter's Laboratory, along with Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, The Powerpuff Girls, and Courage the Cowardly Dog, became responsible for pushing Cartoon Network in a new direction focusing on original programming and “character-driven”cartoons.* [14] After enrolling at the California Institute of the Arts in 1990 to study animation, Tartakovsky wrote, directed, animated, and produced two short films that would become the basis for the series.* [15] Dexter's Laboratory was then made into a seven-minute pilot as a part of Cartoon Network's What a Cartoon! project, promoted as World Premiere Toons, which debuted on February 26, 1995.* [16] Viewers worldwide voted through phone lines, the Internet, fo-
CHAPTER 2. THE CARTOON CARTOONS cus groups, and consumer promotions for their favorite short cartoons; the first of 16 animated shorts to earn that vote of approval was Dexter's Laboratory.* [6] In August 1995, Turner ordered six half-hours of the series, which would include two cartoons around one spin-off segment titled Dial M for Monkey.* [6] The show premiered as a half-hour series on TNT on April 27, 1996, and on April 28 on Cartoon Network and TBS Superstation.* [17] Mike Lazzo, then-head of programming for the network, said that Dexter's Laboratory was his favorite of the 48 shorts, commenting “We all loved the humor in brother-versus-sister relationship”.* [18] A second season premiered on Cartoon Network on July 16, 1997.* [5] Allison Moore, the voice of Dee Dee and a college friend of Genndy Tartakovsky, left the show after the first season because she was no longer interested in voice acting. The role was subsequently recast with Kathryn Cressida.* [19] Dexter's Laboratory ended its initial run in 1998 after two seasons, with the second season lasting 39 episodes, a notable record for a single TV production season on Cartoon Network.* [20] The initial series finale was “Last But Not Beast”, which differed from the format of the other episodes in that it was not a collection of cartoon shorts, but was a single 25-minute episode. In 1999, Tartakovsky returned to direct Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip, an hour-long television movie.* [21] This was the last Dexter's Laboratory production that Tartakovsky was involved with and was originally intended to be the final conclusion to the series. The special was hand-animated, though the character and setting designs were subtly altered. The plot follows Dexter on a quest through time as he finds out his future triumphs.* [21] Christine Cavanaugh won an Annie Award for her voice performance as Dexter in Ego Trip for“Outstanding Individual Achievement for Voice Acting By a Female Performer in an Animated Television Production”.* [22] On February 21, 2001, Cartoon Network announced the series had been picked up for a 13-episode third season.* [23] The new episodes, which ran for two more seasons, had a different production team than the originals due to Genndy Tartakovsky working on Samurai Jack and Star Wars: Clone Wars.* [7]* [24] MacFarlane and Hartman had left Time Warner altogether at this point, focusing on Family Guy and The Fairly OddParents, respectively.* [25]* [26] Beginning with season three, Chris Savino took over as the creative director for the show in the absence of Tartakovsky. Later in season four, Savino was also promoted to producer giving him further control over the show, such as the budget.* [27] This second line of episodes featured noticeably different visual designs, minor inconsistencies with the original episodes both in storyline and in visuals, and different sound effects. Christine Cavanaugh retired from voice acting in 2001 for personal reasons and was replaced by Candi Milo as the voice of Dexter for the majority of these new episodes, though Cavanaugh still voiced Dexter for the

Episodes
Main article: List of Dexter's Laboratory episodes Dexter's Laboratory broadcast 78 half-hour episodes over 4 seasons during its 7-year run. Four pilot shorts were produced for World Premiere Toons that aired in 1995 and 1996 and were subsequently fused into the series' first season. Fifty-two episodes were produced over the original run from 1996 to 1998, which was followed by the TV movie Ego Trip in 1999. An additional 26 episodes were produced and broadcast from 2001 to 2003. The short “Chicken Scratch”debuted theatrically with The Powerpuff Girls Movie in 2002 and was later broadcast as a segment in the series' fourth and final season.* [32]
Dee's rudeness; however, it instead creates highly rude clones of both siblings. The episode was only shown during certain animation festivals and was never aired on Cartoon Network due to the characters swearing, even though the swear words were censored.* [41] Tartakovsky commented that "standards didn't like it.”* [42] Linda Simensky, then-vice president of original programming for Cartoon Network, said “I still think it's very funny. It probably would air better late at night.”* [41] Fred Seibert, president of Hanna-Barbera Cartoons from 1992 to 1996, has attested to the existence of the short.* [42] In October 2012, Genndy Tartakovsky was asked about the episode during an AMA on Reddit, and he replied “Next time I do a public appearance I'll bring it with me!".* [43] Adult Swim later asked fans on Twitter if there was still any interest in the episode, and the response was“overwhelming”.* [44]* [45] The episode was finally

When voicing Johnny Bravo, Jeff Bennett made his voice sound like that of Elvis Presley.* [4]
• Bunny “Momma”Bravo (voiced by Brenda Vaccaro) —Johnny's mother. She has had a lively past and sometimes reveals a surprising hidden talent. The show's original format portrays her as a calm, nurturing woman, but was made into a louder, more extroverted character once the show was retooled. She's very dedicated to her son, but as a result of her awareness of his low intellect and womanizer attitude, does not always treat him and his problems seriously. Her husband is never seen or mentioned. Like Johnny, Bunny has her own trademark sunglasses which always cover her eyes. Bunny hopes that Johnny will find that special someone he's been looking for. Bunny is mostly referred in the show as “Momma”by Johnny, who pronounces it in an Elvis-esque manner. • Little Suzy (voiced by Mae Whitman) —A little red-haired, intelligent girl from the neighborhood (often called “Little Neighbor girl”by Johnny), who is very cunning and talkative. In many episodes, Suzy is shown to have a major crush on Johnny (although the feeling is not mutual). Her parents were never shown, but she is often shown to be related to big time celebrities. For example, it was revealed in an episode during her birthday that Farrah Fawcett is her cousin. She also has a crush on an 8-year-old country music singer Lonnie Dash. In the early series, Suzy was more of a cute-type character with a round head, while in the retooled series, she is thinlooking and more grown up. But went back to her original design in season 4. Suzy has many interests (such as selling lemonade and participating in the Buttercup Scouts) and has proven to be very successful in most of those interests. It is very obvious that Johnny finds Suzy annoying as he won't even go to her birthday parties or school dances. • Carlton “Carl”Chryniszzswics (voiced by Tom Kenny) —A local nerd, also known as Carl Shocker, considered by many (especially Johnny) to be extremely annoying. He is Johnny's “best friend”. He is a local genius and geek, who is very intelligent, but somewhat eccentric and timid. He was introduced after the show's retooling following the end of the first season, and seems to be Johnny's only friend, although Johnny often denies that. Carl sometimes uses Johnny for his experiments' sake. Carl really likes Johnny and he continues to hang
out with him, even after all of the mean things that Johnny does to Carl and says about him. Carl remained in the show after the return to the original style, but was relegated to smaller roles. However, Johnny is much nicer to Carl when he shows up in the final season. • Pops (voiced by Larry Drake) —The greedy owner of a local diner. He often gives tips and advice to Johnny; however, his advice often turns out to be useless, sometimes provoking trouble for Johnny. His diner's chili is made from rather suspicious ingredients and he serves food made from many animals, such as possums, pandas, cougars, seals, horses, and bald eagles. Like Carl, Pops was introduced in season two after the show's drastic retooling and remained even after the return to the original format, although he was relegated to brief cameo roles. Pop culture references The series was abounding in pop culture references. The original short that preceded the series, Mess O' Blues, was based around an Elvis Presley impersonator.* [3] Johnny Bravo lives in “Aaron City”. Aaron was Elvis Presley's middle name. Even from the first season, creator Van Partible intended for the show's middle segment to be a form of“Johnny Bravo Meets...”, intended as a parody of The New Scooby-Doo Movies.* [3]* [5] An entire episode of the first season of the show is based around homages to The Twilight Zone' (or, as the show dubs it, “The Zone, Where Normal Things Don't Happen Very Often”.) In that episode, which consisted of three Twilight Zone parodies, opened and closed by the words of a narrator, and would consist of Johnny encountering something strange, for example, being at the mercy of a boy who can seemingly alter reality at will, or fighting a personal war with a clown trying to damage a plane's wing (only to discover he was one of two clowns kept to “balance”the plane) - the episode also included a talking doll that attempted to commit murder. Additional references to the episodes spoofed included Johnny trying to inform William Shatner of the clown on the wing, with Shatner implying he had been in a similar situation before, and Johnny referring to his godlike babysitting charge as“Billy”and "Will Robinson,”a reference to actor Billy Mumy who played the role in the original Twilight Zone episode.* [6] Humor Much of the humor of the series revolves around the antics and dimwittedness of Johnny himself. The entire series revolves around Bravo's undying desire to go on a date with a woman, and most women beat him up when he asks them. In turn, Bravo asks them in a very confident, almost cocky manner. Johnny also has been seen to do absurd
2.4. JOHNNY BRAVO things just to see a woman. Though narcissistic, Johnny has a relatively innocent nature, which, in conjunction with his lack of intelligence, can occasionally land him in the middle of others' dastardly plots (where he often remains oblivious even as they unfold). When Johnny enjoys something, usually something he tastes or sees, he often exclaims enjoyment by saying,“Mmm, (object)-y!" This joke was introduced and was most prevalent in the second season. This is similar to one of Homer Simpson and Pee-wee Herman's catchphrases. Sly adult humor is found in many early episodes of the show. In one episode, when Little Suzy calls Johnny to ask if he wants to come over, Johnny nonchalantly tells her to "[call] back in 15 years when [she is] a co-ed.”In regard to the adult humor,”Butch Hartman stated "...being concerned with the content of the episodes wasn't our main focus”, and creator Van Partible re that “No one was really watching Cartoon Network [...] As far as content, they were pretty lenient on all the kind of things that were going on.”* [3] Guest appearances The series has had numerous guest stars, which include: Don Knotts, Jessica Biel, Alec Baldwin, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Rick Springfield, Luke Perry, Farrah Fawcett, Brock Peters, Vendela Kirsebom, Adam West, Dionne Warwick, Jack Sheldon, Mick Jagger, Richard Simmons, Joey McIntyre, Mr. T, Mark Hamill, Shaquille O'Neal, Donny Osmond, Seth Green, Allyce Beasley, Curtis Armstrong, Michael Jeter, Chuck D, Jeffrey Tambor, Tia Carrere, Laraine Newman, and Hal Douglas. Initially, the goal of the first season of the show was to have popular 1970s icons (such as Osmond and Fawcett) to appear on the “Johnny Bravo Meets...”middle segment of the show, but guest stars were used informally after the second season began.* [3]
35 The short would be aired on Cartoon Network's new animation showcase, World Premiere Toons.* [3] Also known as the What a Cartoon! Show, the series' short cartoons (three per half-hour episode) mirrored the structure of a theatrical cartoon, with each film being based on an original storyboard drawn and written by its artist/creator. Partible initially roomed with Craig McCracken (creator of The Powerpuff Girls), Paul Rudish (a designer on that series) and Genndy Tartakovsky (creator of Dexter's Laboratory).* [3] The only two cartoonists fresh out of college were Partible and Seth MacFarlane.* [3] Partible changed his character from Mess O' Blues around so that“he would be more of this '50s iconic James Dean-looking character that talked like Elvis”. Partible picked voice actor Jeff Bennett to play Johnny Bravo solely based on his young, hyped Elvis impression.* [3] The short, Johnny Bravo, premiered on World Premiere Toons on March 26, 1995, and involved Johnny trying to score with a zookeeper girl by capturing a runaway talking gorilla. Partible, with a small team of animators, animated the short themselves in-house at Hanna-Barbera using digital ink and paint (the latter shorts and seasons 1 and early season 2 of the series would instead use the traditional ink and paint and film camera).* [7] Two more shorts on the program followed (Jungle Boy in“Mr. Monkeyman”, and Johnny Bravo and the Amazon Women) and the shorts were so popular that Cartoon Network commissioned a first season of series based around Johnny Bravo, consisting of 13 episodes.
The crew of the first season of Johnny Bravo consisted of several writers, animators, and directors from World Premiere Toons, including the aforementioned MacFarlane and Hartman, Steve Marmel, and John McIntyre. Veteran cartoonist and animation legend Joseph Barbera was also a creative consultant and a mentor for the first season of the series.* [8]* [9] Partible stated in a 1997 interview that the goal of the series was to have “animation remi* The episode“Johnny Bravo Meets Adam West!" in which niscent of the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons”.

CHAPTER 2. THE CARTOON CARTOONS
After the series ended in 2004, the No. 5 Kellogg's Chevrolet was given a special paint scheme with Johnny Bravo on the hood. It was driven by Kyle Busch in the 2005 Sharpie 500 NASCAR race. On the long lasting impact of the show, writer/director Butch Hartman states:
or on CartoonNetworkHQ.net would be shown for two hours the next day. He would also constantly appear in commercial breaks, cracking jokes or answering humorous emails and phone calls.
The show's creative team went on to create many successful television series throughout the 1990s and 2000s, including writer Seth MacFarlane, creator of the popular animated series Family Guy. Shortly after the series' first season was completed, writer/director Butch Hartman left to work on Nickelodeon's Oh Yeah! Cartoons, from which those shorts spun off his own success, The Fairly OddParents. Steve Marmel, writer for Johnny Bravo, has been a producer and writer for The Fairly OddParents since its premiere in 2001. In addition to Johnny Bravo, director John McIntyre directed episodes of several other Cartoon Cartoons, and more recently served as a supervising director on Cartoon Network's original series The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack.

vision series created by David Feiss for Cartoon Network. The series follows the surreal adventures of a cow, named Cow, and her chicken brother, named Chicken. They are often antagonized by “The Red Guy”, who poses as various characters to scam them. Late into the series run, the characters I.M. Weasel and I.R. Baboon, who were part of the series' recurring segment, I Am Weasel, were given their own half-hour series of the same name. Like Dexter's Laboratory and some other Cartoon Network series from the 1990s, the original pilot appeared

CHAPTER 2. THE CARTOON CARTOONS
as an episode of the animated shorts showcase project What a Cartoon!, the brainchild of Fred Seibert, thenpresident of Hanna-Barbera. The Cow and Chicken series first broadcast on Cartoon Network from July 15, 1997, to July 24, 1999, with reruns airing prominently on the network until June 1, 2008. Reruns are played on Boomerang, which are rated TV-Y7. The series was nominated for an Emmy Award in 1996 and 1998.
2.5.1
Premise
The program focuses on the misadventures of two unlikely yet somehow biological siblings; the sweet-natured, dim, ecstatic anthropomorphic Cow and her cynical elder brother Chicken. The series is set in an eccentric, surreal environment and humored with laughably grotesque, repulsive comedy and animation, and revolves around the surreal, strange escapades experienced by Cow and Chicken that are often triggered by their odd, naked enemy the Red Guy. The humor and storylines depicted in the series are sometimes based around traditional childhood worries, anxieties, or phobias such as cooties or venturing into the girls' restroom, but enhanced comically. Other characters include Chicken and Cow's slightly delirious, dimwitted human parents that are only seen from their legs down (even in scenes where showing nothing more would be ridiculous), and Chicken's two best friends Flem and Earl, along with the appropriately-named cousin, Boneless Chicken.
2.5.2
Characters
Main characters • Cow (voiced by Charlie Adler) —Chicken's 7-yearold sister.* [1] She is usually depicted with low intelligence and childlike naivety, and is often blind to her brother's disdain and carelessness for her. However, she is better-liked by her peers and has achieved a wide array of accomplishments throughout the course of the series, such as being crowned a beauty pageant queen (under the Red Guy's tutelage and training), becoming a model, and often masquerading as her intelligent superhero alter-ego Super Cow. However, many of Cow's achievements have proven to be scams pulled by the Red Guy against her or for his own benefits and pleasure, albeit she has accomplished a lot without his manipulative guidance; she has written a musical before that was performed by the school drama club in one episode and was able to temporarily put a stop to the long-running, destructive “Cheese War”that had been devastating the home of her new-found lover, only for new conflicts to be triggered shortly afterward. Cow is noted for her superhero alter-ego, Super
Cow, who has displayed greater intelligence than she has and is capable of speaking Spanish, albeit the Red Guy has attempted to unmask the superhero. Cow owns three dolls that she greatly cherishes; Crabs the Warthog, Manure the Bear, and Piles the Beaver. • Chicken (voiced by Charlie Adler) —Cow's 11year-old brother.* [1] He can be mean to his younger sister, and even to the rest of the family. He has a powerful ego, but in spite of this, a powerful conscience (usually only displayed when Cow is in danger). He is more intelligent (and sane) than most characters, and his selfish actions can actually come to others help. His speech is riddled with malapropisms and sarcasm. Chicken is very fond of ice skating. Like other chickens, he cannot fly, and is afraid of flying. Chicken is the only character in the show who knows that his sister and Supercow are the same person. Chicken even once turned into his own alter ego, calling himself“Wonder Wattle”to save his sister. Whereas Supercow speaks fluent Spanish, Chicken requires the help of a Spanish dictionary. • The Red Guy (voiced by Charlie Adler) —based off the character in religion Satan in the pilot episode “No Smoking”, he is no longer shown as that character, but instead as a being who is known for masquerading as different people with different occupations in order to harm, torture or scam Cow and Chicken for reasons never established in the series. Often, these characters are given pun names related to the Red Guy's bare posterior and lack of pants (e.g. Doctor Lackslacks, Mrs. BareDerriére), and sometimes he has been known to disguise himself as more than one character in the same episode in order to continue bothering Cow and Chicken, and sometimes I.R. Baboon and Weasel. • Flem (voiced by Howard Morris and Maurice LaMarche on occasion) —Chicken's best friend who has thick red lips. He and his father both wear glasses. Of the three (Earl, Chicken, and himself), he is the one most often sent to perform tasks because his peers consider him the ugliest or fattest. Flem is named after one of David Feiss's friends in middle school who was not good-looking but was very loyal. • Earl (voiced by Dan Castellaneta (using a higher pitched version of the slurred, drunken voice Castellaneta uses when he voices Simpsons character, Barney Gumble)) —Chicken's other best friend who is tall and skinny and wears a red baseball cap, a black shirt that exposes his belly button, and braces. Like Flem, Earl is based on one of David Feiss' friends in middle school. Earl lives with Flem and Flem's Dad.
2.5. COW AND CHICKEN • Dad (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) —Cow and Chicken's father. His brother is Professor Longhorn Steer. On screen, only his legs and waist are shown. He is identified by green pants and brown loafers. He boasts his manliness, stating that even the most mundane of tasks (such as driving in the snow) “bring out the man in him”. Dad does not seem to know about Cow's birth and once stated she was born in a cabbage and claimed, “That was the best cabbage we ever had”. Like his wife, sometimes he seems to be insane. For example, he once woke up his kids at 3:00 a.m. only to tell them how he and Mom met. Sometimes he indirectly refers to himself as a woman (when talking about a clock ed down to all the girls to his family, he said that his mother gave to him, when he was giving said clock to Cow) or to Mom as a man (“start your day off like a man, just like Momma”). • Mom (voiced by Candi Milo) —Cow and Chicken's mother. Like Dad, only her legs and waist are shown on screen and is identified by a white dress with red polka-dots, a yellow apron and red flat shoes. She is prone to giving her children rules applying only to a specific situation that can also be applied elsewhere, such as“never go to the carnival naked”or“never run around in a burning school auditorium”. She is sensitive, as shown in one episode, crying when Chicken asked what would happen if a guy goes in a girl's bathroom (though it is hinted she might have been worried Chicken would commit voyeurism). • Teacher (voiced by Candi Milo) —Cow and Chicken's female teacher who is simply called “Teacher”. Her catchphrase is “basically”. In class Teacher will say “Shut your pork traps!" or “Shut your pie holes!" to get her students to listen to her. She responds to Chicken's strange, even contradictory observations, such as realizing the Earth is cubic, with “That's why you go to school!" Recurring characters • Crabs the Warthog (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) —one of Cow's favorite dolls; he is shaped as a green warthog with wheels in his snout, as well as being dressed up in some smart and colorful clothes. His first appearance was in“Part Time Job.”Crabs also has a key role in the episode, “Cow's Toys”. He appeared in “Can Cow Come Out and Play?" and in“Lawnmower Chicken”. Along with many other “kids' show for adults”aspects of this show Cow is heard shouting“I've got crabs...”followed by a toolong pause, finished with “the warthog”during at least one episode. • Piles the Beaver (voiced by Tom Kenny) —one of Cow's favorite dolls; he is shaped as a purple beaver
39 with blond hair. Much to Manure the Bear's disgust, Piles has a rip-cord that says random things such as, “I'm Piles the Beaver. Hey!" His debut was in “Cow Loves Piles”, but he was first mentioned in the episode, “Who is Supercow?" Piles also has an important role in “Cow's Toys”. Like Crabs, Piles is referenced by Cow with a too-lengthy pause when saying “I've got piles...the beaver.” • Manure the Bear (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) —one of Cow's favorite dolls; he is shaped as a disgruntled bear wearing a dirty diaper. Manure was first referenced in“Chicken's First Kiss,”when Earl tells Chicken that he was hit with the same doll. Manure was not introduced as one of Cow's dolls until the third season. Like Crabs and Piles, he has a key role in“Cow's Toys”. He is implied to soil himself often. • Boneless Chicken (voiced by Charlie Adler) — Cow and Chicken's funny uncle. An older chicken who possesses no skeleton, except for having teeth. He always says strange things, but the watcher cannot tell if he is serious or just joking. He is a veteran of the Vietnam War. He only appeared in“Alive!", “The Laughing Puddle”,“The Exchange Stüdent” , “Dream Date Chicken”, “Boneless Kite”, and “Cow & Chicken Blues”. It is unknown which side of the family he is related to. • Grandmama (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) — Mom's mother and Cow and Chicken's grandmother. She often seems as blind as a bat; she has glasses, but refuses to wear them. She was seen in the episodes“Grandma at the Mall”and“No Smoking”. • Grandpapa (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) — Mom's father and Grandmama's husband, whom she lost, because she could not where she put him. She buys him again at a grandpa bazaar. He looks surprisingly similar to her. • Flem's Dad (voiced by Michael Stanton) —usually seen wearing Summer Camp clothing; he made appearances in the episodes,“The Legend of Sailcat” , “Going My Way?", “Lost at Sea”(in which the Red Guy calls him an idiot). Flem's Dad can play the guitar. • Cousin Black Sheep (voiced by Tom Kenny) — Cow and Chicken's other cousin. He's the black sheep of the family. He is in fact extremely kind and cultured, but people accuse him of misdemeanors anyway, because he is a black sheep. Like Boneless Chicken and Cousin Sow, it is unknown which side of the family he is related to. • Snail Boy (voiced by Tom Kenny) —Cow and Chicken's other cousin. Mom and Dad's nephew.

History
Main article: List of Cow and Chicken episodes Cow and Chicken has a total of 52 episodes in 4 seasons
The idea of Cow and Chicken first existed as a story that David Feiss had made for his daughter.* [2] Feiss was a cartoonist who had worked with Hanna-Barbera and related projects since 1978.* [2] Later, Feiss was called to submit any ideas he had for the series What a Cartoon!, a series composed of various cartoon shorts from various creators and writers. Feiss submitted three ideas for the series to Larry Huber, the series' executive producer. One of the ideas was Cow and Chicken.* [3] Cow and Chicken premiered on the What a Cartoon! series in 1995. Although most cartoons in the series had never gone beyond one short, Hanna-Barbera had decided to turn Cow and Chicken into a full series (possibly since the Emmy Award nomination of the original short), following many letters from fans asking for more Cow and Chicken cartoons.* [3] The Cow and Chicken series premiered on July 15, 1997, in the United States,* [1] although the first season was originally shown on Cartoon Network in Europe earlier that year.* [4] The series ran for 52 episodes through 1999. Reruns continued to be shown on Cartoon Network until June 1, 2008. As a ing segment, the show included a cartoon called I Am Weasel; this segment was spun off as an independent series late in the show's run. Typically, an episode would consist of two seven-minute Cow and Chicken shorts playing back-toback, then followed by a seven-minute I Am Weasel short before the end credits.* [1] The exception to this structure was episode 105 (“The Ugliest Weenie”), which

that were produced from November 1996 to April 1999. Each half-hour contains 2 Cow and Chicken and 1 I Am Weasel segment.* [6]

2.5.5
Humor
Cow and Chicken drew on several types of cartoon humor through its run. The series often made use of cartoon violence; Cow and Chicken were frequently placed in dangerous situations and the Red Guy was frequently pummeled and beaten (usually by Supercow). The series also made fun of the clichés of cartoons. For example, Cow has an alter-ego: Supercow, who is a superhero with different characteristics to her normal character (such as flight, and the ability to speak Spanish); and the Red Guy tries in vain to discover Supercow's secret identity so he can “die happy”. Another cliché made fun of in the series is that the children's parents, who are called Mom and Dad by everyone, exist only from the waist down, and can be seen to stop at the waist (whenever their shadows appear, they are cut off at the waist). A picture even exists on the wall of the parents from the waist down. Cow can disguise herself as Dad simply by wearing Dad's pants. This makes fun of the idea of partially unseen characters and cartoons in which adults are seen only from the waist down (e.g. Muppet Babies). Many jokes of the series use adolescent humor, which made the show somewhat controversial. Recurring jokes and gags In some episodes, the misper bodies of Cow and Chicken's parents are used as a gag. For example, in the banned pilot episode ("No Smoking") the cartoon“camera”accidentally zooms out too far, and shows Mom and Dad cut off at the waist. In another episode (“Cow and Chicken Reclining”), Cow and Chicken search through a closet by throwing out everything inside, and for a small moment, the upper (human) bodies which are rumored to be the bodies of Mom and Dad are visible as part of a discarded science project by Cow (however, considering the absurdist nature of the show's humor, this may be a throwaway gag).
41 ences such as“Mr. Likenopants”,“Officer Pantsoffski” ,“Mrs. Bare Derriere”,“Ivan Panced”,“Lance Sackless”, “Ben Panced,”“Rear iral Floyd”, “The Great Pantzini”,“Larry Lackapants”,“Mr. Jeans Begone”, “Dr. Laxslax”and “Dr./Mr./Prof. Heiniebottom"; Supercow will refer to the Red Guy's incarnations as“El Diablo sin pantalones”(literally,“the Devil without pants”). Within the show, the characters often refer to everyone else as ladies, girls, gals, or men, regardless of their gender, as well as constantly peppering their speech with malapropisms and using sarcasm. Mom and Dad will often say things to imply or outright say they are of the opposite gender. “It's ( time you started off your day like a man. Just like Momma!") The show often breaks the fourth wall. I Am Weasel exists as a cartoon in the fictional world of Cow and Chicken, however, this is contradicted in“I.R. In Wrong Cartoon”(a crossover between the two cartoons), when the Red Guy, disguised as a bearskin rug, says to Cow when she wants to take Weasel out of the TV to make him real, “He's just as real as you and I.”In “The Laughing Puddle”, when the entire population of Folsom has gone into the titular puddle, Chicken states,“Is anything in this cartoon ever going to make sense?" A few times throughout the series, some characters (usually the Red Guy) request for the cartoon to end.
Controversy The segment “Buffalo Gals”, which aired initially on February 20, 1998, along with the follow-up segment “Cow and Chicken Reclining,”was banned by Cartoon Network because of its innuendos implying that the Buffalo Gals were lesbians and its stereotyping of lesbians. The episode contained obvious sexual humor, which includes Mom's line “Oh, the Buffalo Gals, a motorcycle riding gang that randomly bursts into people's homes and chews on their carpet.”, the name of one of the bikers being“Munch Kelly,”the Buffalo Gals singing "Buffalo Gals" (Buffalo gals, won't you come out tonight?), and the Buffalo Gals playing softball and talking about“pitching” and“catching”, slang for gay sex.* [7] The episode aired only once, and was replaced with the episode“Orthodontic Police”in future airings, including on Netflix streaming.
They are occasionally seen driving a car with their feet, writing and grabbing on to things with their toes, and dialling a phone by kicking the numbers. Mom and Dad's shadows are shown as being cut off at the waist in several episodes like “Cow and Chicken Reclining”. Mama's body can be seen cut clearly in one scene when she laughs sitting on a TV in the episode “Which Came First?". A picture even exists on the wall of the parents from the waist down. In one episode, Cow disguises herself as Dad by wearing his pants, which nearly cover Cow's face. They were also seen in their only-legs form in the I Am 2.5.6 Weasel episode“Who Rubbed Out Cow and Chicken?".

Overview
The Powerpuff Girls revolves around the adventures of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. Each of the girls has a color: Blossom is pink, Bubbles is blue, and Buttercup is green. The plot of a typical episode is some humorous variation of standard superhero and tokusatsu fare, with the girls using their powers to defend their town from villains and giant monsters. In addition, the girls have to deal with normal issues young children face, such as sibling rivalries, loose teeth, personal hygiene, going to

the Powerpuff Girls were created by Professor Utonium in an attempt “to create the perfect little girls”using a mixture of "sugar, spice, and everything nice" (shown in respective fields of light blue, light green, and pink). However, he accidentally spilled a mysterious substance called “Chemical X”into the mixture, creating, instead of the “perfect little girl”, three girls (each possessing one of the above elements dominating her personality), and granting all three superpowers including flight, super strength, super speed, near invulnerability, x-ray vision, super senses, heat vision, and energy projection. In the original plot, the accidental substance was a can of “Whoo”, which was replaced by “Chemical X”in the aired version.* [7] The three girls all have oval-shaped heads, abnormally large eyes (inspired by Margaret Keane's art* [8]), stubby arms and legs, and lack noses, ears, fingers, necks, and flat feet with toes (McCracken preferred them to look more symbolic of actual girls rather than going for a“realistic”

look, meaning fewer body parts were needed* [9]). They wear dresses that match the colors of their eyes with black stripes, as well as white stockings and black Mary Janes. They do not have secret identities. The closing theme to the cartoon offers a nutshell description of the three Powerpuff Girls' personalities: Blossom, commander and the leader. Bubbles, she is the joy and the laughter. Buttercup, 'cause she's the toughest fighter. • Blossom (voiced by Cathy Cavadini) is the tactician and self-proclaimed leader of the Powerpuff Girls. Her personality ingredient is “everything nice”, her signature color is pink, and she has long red hair with a red bow. She was named for having spoken freely and honestly to the Professor shortly after her creation as shown in the Powerpuff Girls Movie. She is often seen as the most level-headed, and composed member of the group and also strong and determined.* [10] Her unique power is freezing objects with her breath as seen in the episode “Ice Sore”. • Bubbles (voiced by Tara Strong in the series and by Kath Soucie in the What a Cartoon! episodes) is the cute and sensitive one. Her personality ingredient is sugar, her signature color is blue, and she has short blonde hair in two pigtails. Bubbles is seen as kind and very sweet but she is also capable of extreme rage and can fight monsters just as well as her sisters can.* [10] Her best friend is a stuffed octopus doll she calls “Octi”, and she also loves animals. She exhibits the ability to both understand foreign languages such as Spanish, and communicate with various animals (squirrels, cats, monsters), and her unique power is emitting supersonic waves with her voice. • Buttercup (voiced by E. G. Daily) is the toughest of the three. Her personality ingredient is spice, her signature color is green, and she has short black hair in a flip. She is a tomboy who loves to get dirty, fights hard and plays rough; she does not plan and is all action.* [10] Buttercup is the only Powerpuff Girl without a unique super power (aside from being able to curl her tongue as shown in the episode“Nuthin' Special”).* [11] McCracken originally wanted to name the character “Bud”until a friend suggested the name Buttercup.* [4]

With a 10-year run, Ed, Edd n Eddy remains the longest-running original Cartoon Network series and Canadian-made animated series to date, and is also one of the longest-running United States 2.8.2 History animated series.
2.8. ED, EDD N EDDY Production Although cartoonist Danny Antonucci began his career by working as an animator on various children's series for Hanna-Barbera, his later solo works were edgy and aimed at adult audiences. He gained notoriety with the 1987 short film Lupo the Butcher and then, after founding his own production studio, a.k.a. Cartoon in 1994, created the series The Brothers Grunt for MTV. It was quickly cancelled, however, upon being met with poor reviews.* [1]* [2] On a dare, Antonucci then decided that he would try producing a children's animated series of his own. While deg a commercial, he ended up drawing three characters that he felt particularly pleased with. Growing excited over their potential, he named them Ed, Edd, and Eddy and spent the following months developing a show around them.* [3] He faxed a one-page concept sheet to Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon in 1996.* [3]* [4] Both studios quickly responded, Cartoon Network in only 20 minutes, and were enthusiastic and wanted to see more; they each demanded creative control, however, and Antonucci refused.* [1] After Cartoon Network agreed to let Antonucci have control of the show, conversations between Antonucci and the studio continued.* [1] Vice president of programming and production of Cartoon Network, Mike Lazzo, showed high interest in the series and requested a show bible, which came through by fax, a few pages at a time, over a period of the next few months.* [4] After an affirmative response from Cartoon Network president Betty Cohen, the legal paperwork and deal-making began, followed by a start-up meeting at the Chateau Marmont Hotel in Los Angeles. A deal was made that Antonucci's studio, a.k.a. Cartoon, would produce Ed, Edd n Eddy, the first Cartoon Network original series to be produced by an outside production company rather than Cartoon Network's Hanna-Barbera. The series also entered production and by-ed a sevenminute short; this marked the first time that one of the studio's original series had ever done this.* [4]
53 Antonucci, an advocate of hand-drawn animation, wanted to ensure Ed, Edd n Eddy was produced in a way similar to the cartoons from the 1940s to the 1970s. As a result, the series was the last to use cel animation; the cels were shipped to Korea for creating the initial animation, and then later edited back at Antonucci's a.k.a. Cartoon studio.* [1] To give the impression of movement, Ed, Edd n Eddy used “boiling lines”, shimmering character outlines which have been compared to Squigglevision.* [5]* [6] The boiling lines are not as noticeable as those in Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, but are still visible,* [7] and Antonucci likens it to cartoons of the 1930s.* [1] The boiling line is created by tracing off a drawing three times through sheets of paper.* [3] Antonucci explained that he felt it “helps keep the characters alive”and that he wanted to depart from other Cartoon Network series and pay homage to the classic cartoon era.* [1]* [3] According to Antonucci, he based the characters on real people in his life. The personalities of Ed, Double Dee, and Eddy are based on his own traits, and the activities of his two sons while the cul-de-sac children and the Kanker sisters were all based on children he grew up with.* [8] Rolf is based on Antonucci and his cousins, since he was part of an immigrant family, and grew up in a first generation foreign household with different customs and ways of living, compared to those born in Canada.* [8]* [9] Jimmy is based on one of his cousins, who was rather feminine and spent most of his time playing with girls rather than with boys.* [3] Jonny and Plank are inspired by one of Antonucci's childhood friends, a loner who spent most of his time outside with his blanket.* [3] He stated that he believed it was important to add Plank, a board of wood, to the show, and that he “thought it would be really cool to do the show with Plank taking on a character of his own”and to cause Jonny to do things he would usually never do.* [8] Some wanted Plank to be able to talk, smile and blink as if he was alive, but Antonucci insisted that it should be treated as a piece of wood, brought to life by Jonny's imagination.* [3] All the children have multicolored tongues; Antonucci said that the idea came after he saw his son and his friends with different-colored tongues because of eating different candy while he was working on a storyboard.* [3] The characters went through a number of “walking cycles” , a process used to determine how each character should walk or run, turn around, blink, etc. before the crew came up with the final product.* [3] Casting
Danny Antonucci, creator, director and co-writer of Ed, Edd n Eddy, produced the series on a dare.
Matt Hill, Samuel Vincent, and Tony Sampson were respectively cast as Ed, Double Dee, and Eddy. David Paul Grove and Keenan Christenson played the parts of Jonny 2 × 4 and Jimmy, respectively, while Sarah was voiced by Janyse Jaud. Peter Kelamis voiced Rolf, while Kathleen Barr was cast as Kevin. Nazz was voiced by Tabitha St.

Shorts Critical reception Ed, Edd n Eddy received generally positive reviews from critics. David Cornelius of DVD Talk considered the Eds to be adolescent equivalents of The Three Stooges, believing that “the series revels in the sort of frantic, often gross humor kids love so much, and there's just enough oddball insanity at play to make adults giggle just as easily.”* [42] Cornelius also wrote that the “animation is colorful and intentionally bizarre; bold lines forming the characters and backgrounds wiggle and morph in a delirious haze. This is animation that's, well, really animated.” * [42] Terrence Briggs of Animation World Magazine considered every second of the show “filler”and lamented that the main characters are drawn as“products from the school of acid-trip caricature.”* [43] After Briggs' review was published, a large number of letters ive of the show were sent to the magazine, prompting it to “take a
Cartoon Network produced short cartoons involving the Eds which were shown during commercial breaks.

To name a few adventures, Og made a video game for himself in“A Boy's Game” , performed nude in a fashion show in “Hot Couture”(possibly an homage to "The Emperor's New Clothes"), and made jujubombs in an episode of the same name.
• Wendell (voiced by S. Scott Bullock) is Lu's father, Og's uncle, Albert's brother and the Governor of the Island. He is wiry, weak-willed (as seen when he ate so many sweets that he returned into his former, “pre-workout”shape in the course of a few hours), and is seemingly unable to control his daughter or of delivering any sort of punishment to her. He is then apt to start crying. He has been the island's Governor for many years. This was misinterpreted by Mike, who thought he was an American-esque governor, which lead to an“election”on the island, not realising that the Islanders came to the island from England (and, as seen in the episode with “King Bob”, they hold the “King of England”in great respect). He has a large collection of tea cosies, and speaks in a squeaky falsetto similar in style to Kenneth Williams, although whether this was intentional or not remains uncertain. • Alfred (voiced by Tom Kenny) is Og's father, Wendell's brother, Lu's uncle and Margery's husband. He is eccentric and charismatic, and also has a noticeable speech impediment preventing him from pronouncing his Rs. He fancies himself to be the island's hunter, using suction-cup arrows to persistently hunt a single wombat. It appears that the island's inhabitants are vegetarian (though clams and chicken soup appear to be fair game), so one may wonder what happens if Alfred ever catches the wombat (Including Alfred himself). • Margery (voiced by Kath Soucie) is Og's mother and Alfred's wife, who fancies herself to be an artist and writer. Her arts including painting, sculpting, and cooking. The majority of Margery's artwork has to do with the island's ancestors. For this, she often seen working on a sculpture of several ancestors on the side of a mountain, reminiscent of Mount Rushmore. Every once in a while she will also be found painting food, and often found cooking it. Margery is the island's chef, preparing meals and tea for everyone on her side of the island, as well as preparing buffets and elaborate meals for special occasions. In writing, she is something of a historian. Throughout the series she is working on a book about the island's history titled“Cuzzlewits End”. Margery is very level-headed compared to Alfred's eccentric behavior. An example of this is shown in “Scuba Dooby Doo”when Alfred valiantly offers to protect everyone from the mailman whereas Margery plans on serving tea and crumpets.
• Old Queeks (voiced by Corey Burton) is the Island Elder and Medicine-Man whom the Islanders seek advice from. He is also seen to be able to perform a kind of magic, summoning dead spirits. He is often opposed to Mike's innovative ways, but sometimes gets caught up in the modern crazes to hit the island. Old Queeks claims to be psychic and he claims to “know all and see all”. In one episode, Mike becomes suspicious of Queeks and decides to investigate him. She climbed up the opposite side of the mountain and found that Old Queeks was not psychic but that he spied on the Islanders through a telescope. Even after Mike informed the Islanders about Old Queeks' telescope, they still held onto their beliefs that he was psychic and communicated with a higher power(s). In some respects, this is truth enough. He can see all with a telescope, and he did bring ghosts to the island to plague Mike for annoying him. He lives alone on the top of a mountain in a cave, and enjoys using “bat products”(i.e.: products made with bat guano). This includes everything from toothpaste to snacks. • Lancelot is Lu's long-suffering pet land turtle. She dresses her up in gaudy outfits, forces her to perform weird and dangerous stunts, and often makes her carry Lu on her back. For this reason, Lancelot is always running away from Lu, which is why she keeps her on a leash. Despite this abuse, Lancelot tends to be the savior of Mike and the Islanders (especially Lu) when they're in trouble. Like the other animals on the island, Lancelot tends to exercise more common sense than the humans. Unlike the of the Philosophical Society, she does not speak (except for a “squeaky”type scream when Lancelot's in danger or a snickering laugh and in “Night of the Living Relatives”where she shouted“BOO”to scare the daylights out of Lu). According to a Cartoon Cartoons book from 2001, Lancelot is female, though many times in the series Lancelot is referred to as a male by other characters. • Three pirates living nearby are descended from the pirates who caused the Brits to be shipwrecked in the first place, but were then shipwrecked themselves. Their leader is a captain with two wooden legs and two eye patches. Despite these handicaps he seems to get around without any problems. The pirates sometimes attempt to catch and eat Lancelot, but are always foiled by the three children. In one episode Mike invited the pirates to a Thanksgiving type feast but with only one catch, that the three Pirates had to dress up as Mike's (girl)friends visiting from Manhattan without causing concern with the others (with the exception of Lancelot who saw through their disguises). Their captain is known to force his men to put on blindfolds, so he can sneak into his treasury and put a rabbit puppet named Bunny on his hand, engaging in conversations with it, speaking for it in

a squeaky voice. In its first appearance, its mouth 2.9.5 External links moved as the captain spoke. In its following appear• Official website (archive) ance, the mouth stayed still. • The Cuzzlewits, the other inhabitants of the island (whose very existence Lu eagerly denies), live on the other side of the island. Although they are shown to live in caves, one of their number, Hermione (voiced by Grey DeLisle), a Cuzzlewit girl, is seen to be an extremely experienced thinker. She is accompanied by two Cuzzlewit boys, twin brothers Haggis and Baggis (voiced by Brian George and S. Scott Bullock, respectively), who constantly batter each other with clubs and appear to be dimwitted and rowdy. In the only episode taking place on the Cuzzlewits' side of the island, “Queeks, Queeks Who Got the Queeks?", they are revealed to have a much larger population than the Albonquetanians. The elders of the Cuzzlewits and the Albonquetanians do not get along, hence their separation. This leads to a practical question: what do the Cuzzlewits call the island? Despite the adults' squabbles, Mike and Hermione become friends in“The Three Amigas”. The Cuzzlewits are shown to all have the same genetic characteristics – an underbite which causes their lower central incisors to be bucked teeth.

other supernatural perils from myths and legends that Courage must fend off to save his owners, unbeknownst to them. Although most of the creatures that the three face are frightening or disturbing, some turn out to be sweet and simply in distress. The plot generally uses horror conventions, common to horror films.
When deciding on sound effects, Dilworth tried to avoid pre-made stock sounds.* [2] He contributed a substantial amount of new material to sound designer Michael Geisler and only looked for sounds that made him laugh. The composition of the series' music relied on what was being portrayed: suspense, comedy, or action. The production crew worked together to come up with new music for the series that had not previously been used. There were a few sections on one particular piece that Dilworth exceptionally liked.* [2] The production crew was able to isolate these sections and expand them into a usable theme.* [2] Dilworth further complicated the crew's job by suggesting layering the theme with a variety of funny sounds, a strange tempo and a voice over of a crazed laugh or person singing to give the music and sound effects their own personality beyond anything else out there.* [2]
Original music featured in Courage the Cowardly Dog was composed by Jody Gray* [6] and Andy Ezrin.* [7]* [8] Classical music can be heard at times, which pays homage to classic Warner Bros. animation and the scores of Carl Stalling.* [9] In several episodes, Gray arranged various famous classical pieces and wrote up to 15 songs, such as Although episodic in nature, there are a handful of re- Wagner's “Ride of the Valkyries”.* [8] curring characters in the show's cast, including Courage's sarcastic, sentient computer, the family physician Dr. In 1999, Cartoon Network gave Dilworth permission to Vindaloo, the Gypsy fortune-telling chihuahua Shirley turn the short into an animated series.

However, Dilworth lains, such as Katz and Le Quack. insisted on taking the production to his Stretch Films Studios. The stories' plots were written by the show's head writer, David Steven Cohen, in addition to Irv Bauer, Craig Shemin, Lory Lazarus, Bill Marsilii, Allan Neuwirth, Bill Aronson and Michelle Dilworth. 2.10.2 Production Originally, Courage the Cowardly Dog was created as a seven-minute animated short,“The Chicken from Outer Space”. Dilworth started the animated short with HannaBarbera, sponsored by Cartoon Network and introduced Courage.* [2] Dilworth graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 1985. He became an art director and founded his own animation studio, Stretch Films in 1991, and incorporated in 1994.* [2] The animated short was shown as one of the episodes of Cartoon Network's World Premiere Toons in 1996, a Hanna-Barbera Cartoons innovation by then-president Fred Seibert. The short served as a de facto pilot for the future series.* [3] The original animated short had no dialogue except for one line spoken by Courage, who had a more authoritative voice than in the series. It was uttered by voice actor Howard Hoffman who also provided all the other vocal sounds and effects for the short.* [2] An alien chicken was the villain in this short, and it would later reappear in the series to seek its revenge.* [4] The short was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 68th Academy Awards.* [5]
Broadcast history Courage the Cowardly Dog originally was premiered as a short on February 18, 1996. The show premiered on November 12, 1999 and became the highest-rated premiere in Cartoon Network history at the time.* [10] It last aired on November 22, 2002, with 52 episodes produced in four seasons. On April 20, 2012, the series returned to Cartoon Network in re-runs on the revived block, "Cartoon Planet".* [11] On July 22, 2013, the series began to air reruns on Mondays on Cartoon Network.

Reception
Courage the Cowardly Dog received critical acclaim. John G.

The look is weird and ethereal, just like the show itself.”* [13]

2.11.3 Characters
A common running gag used throughout the first season was that, whenever the phrase “hold the phone”was said, there would be a cut to this still. This did not appear in Season 2.
Each episode is divided into three chapters; each one's title, as the narrator once quipped, is “some pun on the word 'sheep' or something": in the episode “To Sheep, Perchance, To Dream”, one of the chapters was actually named “Some Pun on the Word Sheep”. Fake ments are in between the chapters, and sometimes short skits, such as the Sombrero Brothers. The fake ments are usually of products from Oxymoron with the Oxymoron Spokesperson promoting it. Each product is usually of low quality, contrary to what one may think, or painful. The show's most unusual characteristic is its frequent breaking of the fourth wall. For instance, the vast majority of the characters make references to the show's structure, script, and, occasionally, its premise. For example, in the episode“Agony of De-Bleat”when General Specific finally captures Sheep, the Angry Scientist states that he didn't actually have the Ray Gun ready, thinking that they would never capture Sheep due to it “being so contrary to the set-up of the show”. The Narrator is also a pivotal character, frequently interacting with the characters via voice-over (and sometimes directly, when other characters unexpectedly show up in his studio). He also criticizes the television medium itself (such as the fact that two-thirds of the final episode of the first season was actually composed of dream sequences) and the script, occasionally ad-libbing when he doesn't quite get the script. He also tells the viewer to “just go with it” when the script seems to make no sense. Literal humor is also important to the show's style. Phrases and expressions such as “Hold the phone!" or "wild goose chase" are usually followed by literal interpretations of the phrase mentioned. A running gag in the show, for example, is that whenever a character exclaims, “Great Scott!" a Scotsman appears out of nowhere, saying, “Yes?" Whenever the phrase “Hold the phone!" Is said, it would cut to a still of Lisa Rental holding a phone. The first time the still is shown, it is in the episode“Baa-
• Sheep (voiced by Kevin Seal) is an anthropomorphic sheep, who is the main protagonist of the series. He is owned by Farmer John, who named him sheep due to the fact that“when he was born, he looked just like a sheep.”Sheep has a hard time with life—between getting chased by the military and trying to see Swanky the Poodle, the poodle that Sheep loves, without getting bonked on the head by Lady Richington with her stainless steel wig. Yet, he still makes time to act in dish-washing commercials, travel through time, get a job at a hip club, and also makes a living jumping over fences for insomniacs. Sheep bleats and does not speak in any intelligible human language. As he is a normal sheep, aside from possibly higher intelligence, he has trouble resisting his animal urges, such as eating grass, even when he is being chased by General Specific. • General Specific (voiced by Kevin Seal) is the main antagonist of the series. The dim-witted leader of the Secret Military Organization, Specific does his best to capture Sheep for his Sheep-Powered Ray Gun. He is never discouraged by his constant losses. Specific always speaks through his clenched teeth. He mentions in one episode that he has a steel plate in his head. In one episode, he also developed the habit of throwing his subordinates into “The Pit” (a door, appearing out of nowhere under the characters' feet) (he once did it to the subordinate who asked him why he doesn't simply catch some random sheep and make the Sheep-Powered Ray Gun compatible to it), but later, finds out that this is a problem, when neither he nor Private Public can manoeuvre the helicopter properly, because Specific dropped the helicopter pilot into the Pit. General Specific's name is an oxymoron. On his uniform, he has 3 medals that look like exclamation marks, and one that looks like a question mark. • Farmer John (voiced by James Edmund Godwin) is Sheep's original owner, also seeking to recapture him—although in a more mild-mannered way than General Specific. In one episode, it is revealed that “Far”and “Mer”are actually Farmer John's first and middle name, not his job description. According to Dirk and Sondra's reenacting of Farmer John's parents naming him, he was named“Far”after his father's desire to know how“far”he goes in life and “Mer”after a relative of Farmer John's mother. Sondra also jokingly suggested (albeit it's unclear if she said it on her own or if she was still acting as Farmer John's mother) that Farmer John could be named 'Elton'. Both Dirk and Sondra laughed at the suggestion. Farmer John's personality is best described

CHAPTER 2. THE CARTOON CARTOONS that, in order not to kill any of his farm animals, he prepares water soup for the re-union. He is constantly using pseudo-psychological talk, which is, in fact, extremely boring and instead of “helping”, it forces the characters not to pay attention to him. Another example of his annoyance is his “thanks” speech at the re-union, where he thanks for everything, including “air”and “silly shoes”he sometimes call Sheep “Sheepie”.
• Ben Plotz (voiced by Ken Schatz) is the show's narrator. He often complains about the quality of the writing on the show, but overall, he has an appreciation for the cast. He, on one occasion, embellishes the storyline when he dislikes the ending. • Private Public (voiced by James Edmund Godwin) is General Specific's right-hand man. He is always right behind General Specific, and despite being much smarter, he would prefer to receive orders than give them. His name is also oxymoronic. • The Angry Scientist (voiced by Mo Willems) often gets his hump busted for being an Angry Scientist rather than Mad, but he is the brains behind the organization, despite his extremely limited grasp of the English language (referring to it with the phrase “Why are you not my Englishness be understanding? All the timing with that.”). His inventions include the Sheep-Powered Ray Gun, the Clome, and a Time-Travel Bicycle (although Private Public flatly points out that if he can invent a time machine why can't he invent a ray gun that works without a sheep). He often goes into fits of rage at General Specific when he calls him a 'Mad Scientist' (“ANGURY!! I am an ANGURY Scientist!!"), and on one occasion, he is called the 'Angry Chemist'. At the end of Season 1, he considers calling himself “The Scientist With Some Issues”, now getting angry whenever he gets referred as “The Angry Scientist”. He's mistakenly called 'Mad Scientist' so often that, in one occasion, he complained about if out of habit when he was called 'Angry Scientist'. He once opened an anger management center where he taught people to become angrier. General Specific used to be one of his clients until he said the center made him madder, making the Angry Scientist expel him, claiming it was an 'Anger Management Center' and not a 'Madness Management Center'. General Specific was so angry for being expelled The Angry Scientist considered him another satisfied customer. • The Plot Device (voiced by Stephanie D'Abruzzo) is a machine that comes up with plans for General Specific, such as disguising sleep potion as water soup cooks to sneak into Farmer John's house. Her name is a pun as her main role in the stories is as a plot device.
• General Lee Outrageous (voiced by Joey Mazzarino) is General Specific's cousin, who is a stereotypical 1970s disco partier. He is nearly identical to Specific, but has sunglasses, shiny clothing, blue hair shaped into a ponytail, a gold tooth and three stars on his hat, as opposed to Specific's one star. Lee is also Specific's rival, and uses a goat-powered ray-gun. He has a sidekick called Private Party, who is similar to Private Public and could be his cousin. His name is a pun on “generally outrageous”. • Lady Virginia Richington (voiced by Ruth Buzzi in the pilot and Stephanie D'Abruzzo in the series) is the owner of Swanky. Lady Richington, of the Filthy Richingtons, is quite rich. She owns the majority of the city and is never seen without her gaudy jewellery and lavish clothing. While she may not look very intimidating, she has a severe hatred of sheep in general, and won't hesitate to pummel them into fluffy pulps with her stainless steel wig. • Lisa Rental (voiced by Stephanie D'Abruzzo) is an annoying, evil little girl, who thinks that Sheep is a “cutesy wootsey dog”and wants him desperately. Lisa also loves to refer to Sheep as “Doggy Woggy Smoggy Foggy Loggy Toggy Doggy”. Her name is a pun on the words, "lease a rental". When she and General Specific first met, she convinced him that Sheep was a dog by having Sheep obey her commands (not knowing her true colors back then, Sheep played along) and telling him Sheep was a sheep dog. • X Agent is a black-woollen sheep whom General Specific hired in order to capture Sheep. X Agent becomes best friends with Sheep and, after feeling remorse for betraying Sheep, betrays Specific and becomes a Batman-like superhero. In another episode, he becomes an overprotective guardian of Sheep. He leaves after Completely Powerful Guy reads a telegram from “The Writer”, informing X Agent that he has been assigned to Toledo, Ohio, and that the request is not“just a convenient way of getting you out of this show.”Like Sheep, X Agent bleats and does not speak in intelligible human language. • Oxymoron is an ox who debuted in numerous “Phony Bologna”ments for the Oxymoron company. He also makes cameos in some episodes. His name is a parody of oxymoron, a phrase in which an adjective that means the opposite of the noun that it describes is used (e.g. a smart idiot, a planned coincidence, Hopeless Optimistic, etc.). • Victor (voiced by Ken Schatz) is an obnoxious salesman and spokesperson who usually hosts the Oxymoron commercials.

by the cartoon industry because they didn't want the competition in world domination.
On April 13, 2012, the series returned to Cartoon Network in reruns on the revived block, Cartoon Planet.* [2]
• Boskov (Jesse Corti in the pilot, Frank Welker in series): A former Russian circus bear, Boskov carries Con Carne's brain and stomach on his body. He is sometimes difficult to control due to his animal instincts and lack of intelligence.
2.12.1
Overview
Hector Con Carne was a“jillionaire playboy”crime lord and evil genius bent on taking over the world. Eventually, he was caught in an explosion initiated by his nemesis, Cod Commando, a soldier for the Secret Paramilitary Organized Response Kommand (S.P.O.R.K.). The explosion scattered most of his body across the world. He was rescued by a scientist, the curvaceous Major Dr. Ghastly, who placed his living remains into two containment units: one for his brain, and the other for his stomach. These two units were later installed into Boskov, a purple Russian circus bear, giving Con Carne's brain control over (almost) all of the bear's actions and movements. Hector, Dr. Ghastly and his military leader, General Skarr, then created a secret laboratory on an island with a bunny-shaped mountain known as “Bunny Island”(a parody of Blofeld's lair in the James Bond movies). Gathering an army, Con Carne resumed his quest for world domination and made a new goal: to find his missing body parts. The "Con Carne" of the title is Spanish/Italian for “with meat”, as well as a pun on the expression“evil incarnate” and the dish "Chili con carne". Characters
• Stomach (Armin Shimerman): This former stomach of Hector Con Carne will only talk if it's about food. • Cod Commando (Maxwell Atoms): Con Carne's nemesis. He is an extremely talented anthropomorphic codfish secret agent/superhero in SPORK, who only speaks in gibberish. He almost invariably thwarts Con Carne's evil plans and is responsible for destroying Hector's body. • Destructicus Con Carne: (Rino Romano) Destructicus is Hector and Ghastly's son from the future, created when the two, along with Skarr, were stranded on a deserted island. Destructicus rejects his father's evil ways and becomes a superhero, fighting in the name of good, mainly against Hector's forces. He still loves his parents, though only Ghastly returns his affections. In his premiere episode, “The Time Hole Incident”, the present Hector is baffled at how he was conceived (considering Hector lost his reproductive system). • Estroy (Maurice LaMarche): Hector's very short next-island neighbor; the two are very competitive. He wears a metal mask to hide his immense beauty, as seen in the episode “The HCCBDD”. He is a parody of Destro, a villain from the G.I. Joe series. He also seems to have a crush on Ghastly.
• Hector Con Carne (Phil LaMarr): the main character and the antihero. He was a dynamic, evil playboy type, but was reduced to an anthropomorphic brain and a stomach after a gigantic explosion.

The pair also may use Grim's enormously strong supernatural abilities or ties with a number of beastly characters to achieve goals or desires for themselves with grotesque, altered, or twisted end results. Famed fictional monsters including Dracula, the Wolfman, and the bogeyman are also comically depicted in the series, which also includes the characters of the nerdy, awkward Irwin and the snobby, stuck-up, spoiled Mindy. The show lacks continuity for the most part, as many episodes end with characters killed, exiled, or stuck in a situation. Characters sometimes display an awareness of some events from previous episodes, but there are no clear character arcs or coherent plot lines tying the show together for the most part.

Billy is often kind to Grim, although Main article: List of The Grim Adventures of Billy & he is seen by Mandy as more of a servant than an actual Mandy episodes friend. His biggest fears are clowns and Jeff the spider and often uses tangelos to ward them off. Overall Billy has a friendly personality, but is prone to fits of anger that even Mandy seems to fear.* [3]* [4] Mandy (voiced by Grey DeLisle) is a cynical and arrogant girl who, unlike Billy, is smart and loves absolute power, order, chaos, and control, which is something she uses to make Grim her obedient servant and slave. Billy and Mandy are best friends, although sometimes it is hard to tell. She almost never smiles, and denies it when she actually does. Her parents are also scared of her. Mandy usually gets what she wants and she does not hesitate to speak her mind.* [3]* [5] Despite her usually cold, dominant, and pompous demeanor she has from time to time been helpful and shown some general concern to both Grim and Billy.

History
Billy and Mandy started out as a short made by Maxwell Atoms during school. In the short, Billy was trying to drill his head to free the evils from within. The short has never been shown publicly.* [6] The show's existence is the result of a viewer poll event by way of telephone and the Internet called Cartoon Network's Big Pick which was held from June 16 to August 25, 2000.* [7] The three final choices were The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Whatever Happened to Robot Jones? and Longhair and Doubledome.* [7] Out of the three, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy attained the most votes with 57%; Robot Jones came in second place at 23% while Longhair and Doubledome received 20% of the vote.* [7]* [8] The first season began airing on Cartoon Network on August 24, 2001. Originally part of Grim & Evil, Billy & Mandy served as the main show. In each episode, an Evil Con Carne short was put between two Grim shorts.* [7] On occasion, it was the other way around, with two Evil shorts and one Grim short. On June 13, 2003, the network separated the two and gave each their own full-length program. The shortlived Evil Con Carne show was cancelled once the alreadyproduced season had aired. Some characters from Evil Con Carne occasionally appeared on The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. General Skarr would become a permanent recurring character by moving next door to Billy. And in one episode Major Doctor, Hector, Bozkov and Stomach tried convincing Skarr into coming back to

It was based on a spider queen from Grim's distant past, who tries to take revenge on Grim, because she was meant to be the reaper. Meanwhile, keeping up with the spider theme, Billy learns to love his spider son Jeff.* [19] On October 12, 2008, a third and final spin-off movie titled Underfist: Halloween Bash, premiered. The movie's primary focus is on Irwin, Jeff the Spider, Hoss Delgado, General Skarr, and Fred Fredburger accidentally coming together to defeat an invasion of chocolate bar monsters, led by an evil marshmallow bunny, on Halloween night. Billy, Mandy and Grim Reaper always go in other Cartoon Network shows for charity.* [20]

CHAPTER 2. THE CARTOON CARTOONS got his powers (For example, in The Spider Queen, he was elected to his position as the Grim Reaper while he was in middle school; however, in“A Grim Prophecy”, it is shown that he was the Grim Reaper since his childhood with his parents forcing him to be the Reaper, which is revealed to be all a dream and further contradicted in a later episode where he is seen stumbling over his scythe to become Grim Reaper). His scythe is the source of his powers and possesses many magical qualities; although he is still capable of using magic without it, these instances are quite rare.
• Billy (voiced by Richard Horvitz): He is an eightyear-old happy-go-lucky child with an extremely low IQ of −5. He was outperformed by a shovel and a candy necklace on an IQ test. He has an extremely large, pink nose, wears a blue and white striped shirt, and covers his orange hair with a red hat. His main affiliations are Grim and Mandy. Mandy is Billy's best friend, though she treats him more like a servant than a friend. It has been hinted several times that Billy may have underlying feelings for Mandy that even he (in his stupidity) may not fully realize. Billy is definitely kinder to Grim than Mandy is, and while he may go against the Reaper's advice and use him as a plaything, he appears to genuinely like him. Of the two children, Billy is the one who most often tells Grim that he's his “best friend”.
• Major Dr. Ghastly (voiced by Grey DeLisle): A mad scientist, Ghastly is the brains behind all Hector's plans. Ghastly does not really seem to be intent on taking over the world; she is more interested in inventing things and getting closer to Hector. • General Skarr (voiced by Lance Henriksen, then by Armin Shimerman): Con Carne's paramilitary leader. He is a cold-hearted, hateful and harsh man, with a scar on his face, and one eye. He tends to be more evil than Con Carne himself, many times trying to overthrow his leader. He has made several appearances on Maxwell Atoms' other show, “The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy”, as Billy's next door neighbor. He has also starred in the Billy & Mandy spin-off, Underfist. Skarr seems to resemble Fearless Leader, Herr Starr and General Armin Skull. It has been stated that he quit working for Hector Con Carne after they were “bought out” by the cartoon industry because they didn't want the competition in world domination. • Boskov (voiced by Frank Welker): A former Russian circus bear, Boskov carries Con Carne's brain and stomach on his body, via metal plates on said spots. He is usually controlled by Con Carne and seems to care for everyone around him. He is sometimes difficult to control due to his animal instincts and lack of intelligence.

According to Larry 3000 in the episode “Napoleon the Conquered”, “time is like a rope”, and, as it is woven at one end, ages and gradually unravels and frays at the other. In the context of the show, this often means that historical figures have made different, sometimes anachronistic, choices in life (see free will), and as such will not be able to fulfill the role that history says they fulfilled. An early example of this shows Eli Whitney failing to invent the cotton gin, instead creating a horde of flesh-eating robots (stemming

He takes immense pride in his Southern heritage, most of his history knowledge centered around events such as the Alamo and Western characters such as Billy the Kid. His intellect seems to fluctuate depending on the situation, as he has expressed scientific knowledge from time to time. According to

Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones? (usually shortened to Robot Jones) is an American animated television series that aired on Cartoon Network from 2002 to 2003. The show centers on Robot Jones, a robotic teenager attending a suburban middle school. The show is the 12th series to fall under the Cartoon Cartoons label.
2.16.1 Overview Plot and characters The series centers on Robot Jones (Macintalk Junior; Bobby Block), who, as his name suggests, is a robot who lives in a small city in Delaware, in a futuristic version of the 1980s.* [1] Robot attempts to learn of human nature by attending Polyneux Middle School, where he makes

He also meets Shannon Westerburg (Grey DeLisle), a girl he has an unrequited crush on, because of her large retainer and metal prosthetic leg.
After waning from the network executives, constant time slot changes, and steps to redevelop the series (including re-casting the voice of Robot), Greg Miller left the show and Robot Jones was cancelled during its second season. Animation Robot Jones's animation style can been seen as a throwback to 1970s and 1980s cartoons such as as Schoolhouse Rock!, with an intentionally messy and rough look. The artistic style seems to be influenced by Paul Coker and Jolly Roger Bradfield. Robot Jones 's animation technique is different from most American cartoons from the early-to-mid-2000s. It was animated with traditional cel animation, at a time when many American cartoons had switched to digital ink and paint (possibly due to the 1980s settings).* [1] The show was animated at Rough Draft Studios at Seoul, Korea.
In each episode, Robot, usually with the help of his friends, does whatever he can to fit in the human society, which sometimes goes awry and gets himself into situations brought on by his social ineptitude and others' lack of understanding. In some episodes, he gets into a conflict with genius twin brothers who look nothing alike, Lenny and Denny Yogman. At the end of most episodes, Broadcast Robot makes a data log entry, in which he states what he learned that day and what conclusions he has arrived at After being cancelled, the series continued to air for a few more months throughout 2003 and 2004, before beon humanity. ing removed from the network's schedule. From 2005 to 2008, it returned sporadically in reruns on The Cartoon Cartoon Show, along with segments of other Cartoon CarOpening toons from that time period.

Macintalk Junior was replaced by Bobby Block in season two, Block's voice was also redubbed onto season one episodes for reruns. • Timothy “Socks”Morton (voiced by Kyle Sullivan) is the best friend of Robot Jones. He is quite a fanatic to rock music. He has blond curly hair and wears a green jacket. • Charles “Cubey”Cubinacle (voiced by Myles Jeffrey) is the shorter friend with dark, straight hair, sunglasses with window blinds for lenses, and roller skates. He is a video game lover. • Mitch Freeman Davis (voiced by Gary LeRoi Gray) is a lad often seen wearing headphones, a red sweater and sandals. His eyes are obscured by his long hair. In “Scantron Love”, his last name was Davis. • Dad Unit is Robot's father. When he says something, he often says it three times; one example would be “Listen to your mother! Listen to your mother! Listen to your mother!" as said in the inaugural episode. He has one hand, wears a tie and in his focus on tasks he often gets into shenanigans such as smashing through walls. He is voiced by Macintalk's 'Ralph' voice, which was also used for the voice of Auto in WALL-E. • Mom Unit (voiced by Grey DeLisle) is Robot's mother. She is pink in color and her hands look like the ends of a gas pump's hose which she uses for giving fuel to her fellow units. She seems to generally have a no-nonsense attitude. Recurring

She is unaware that Robot has a crush on her and typically finds him more of an annoyance than anything else. Shannon talks with a lisp. • Gramps Unit (voiced by Macintalk's 'Zarvox') is Robot Jones' grandfather. Gramps Unit sounds like Robot Jones' father, but he could be the dad of Dad Unit & Mom Unit. It is shown in“Vacuum Friend” that he strongly dislikes humans and wishes for machines to take over from mankind as rulers of the planet. However, he cares deeply for Robot, as seen in “House Party”. • Mr. McMcMc (voiced by Maurice LaMarche in the pilot and Rip Taylor in the series) is Robot Jones' math teacher. Like most of the staff at Polyneux, he is very childish and also extremely insecure about his intelligence, as seen in “Math Challenge”. • Clancy Q.

2.17 Codename: Kids Next Door Codename: Kids Next Door, also known as Kids Next Door or by its initials KND, is an American animated television series created by Tom Warburton and produced by Curious Pictures* [2] The series debuted on Cartoon Network on December 6, 2002, and aired its final episode on January 25, 2008. The series came about as the result of a viewer's poll by Cartoon Network.* [3] The series centers on the adventures of five children who operate from a high-tech tree house fighting against adult tyranny. They use advanced 2x4 technology to battle evil adult super villains. Using their codenames (Numbuh 1, Numbuh 2, Numbuh 3, Numbuh 4 and Numbuh 5) they are Sector V, part of a global organisation called The Kids Next Door.
Warburton created a pilot episode for another show, Kenny and the Chimp. Originally, there was a group of children who called themselves “The Kids Next Door” among the recurring characters, and would often get Kenny into trouble. The plot-line was then changed to focus on the group of kids alone, and later, the kids battling adulthood.* [7] In 2001, the show's pilot episode, “No P in the OOL”, won a Cartoon Network viewer's poll, and as a result, Codename: Kids Next Door was greenlit to become a series.* [8] Storylines The episodes are titled as the Kids Next Door's missions, denoted as “Operation:" followed by an acronym which often gives viewers clues as to what the episode is

Kids Next Door KND Organization The Kids Next Door Organization is a worldwide group comprising thousands of kids ed in mutual struggle against adult tyranny. They fight villains that embody specific menaces to children overall (such as dental hygiene or school lunch). For every member of Kids Next Door, upon following a period of training, they then choose a number or alphanumerical code (deliberately spelled “numbuh”) and sent to a“sector”, that is a tree house of ludicrous proportions. The main headquarters of the Kids Next Door is a tree house Moon Base. Kids follow their oath of protecting other kids as well as battling adulthood until the age of 13, when they are “decommissioned”, a process of wiping their minds of memories of any past KND activity, as they are then teenagers, and a threat to KND. Such a practice has inevitably led to the creation of many KND villains who escaped decommissioning (notably Cree, Numbuh 5's older sister, and Chad, formerly Numbuh 274 and supreme commander of the Kids Next Door).
• Numbuh 1 / Nigel Uno (voiced by Benjamin Diskin) - A bald English boy who is rarely seen without his trademark sunglasses and does not put complete trust in anyone but his teammates. He wears a red long sleeve shirt, gray shorts, and brown boots with rocket jets. Nigel is a workaholic who consistently puts business before himself. In the movie “Operation Z.E.R.O.”, he mentions that Numbuh 2 is his best friend. Throughout the series, his girlfriend is Numbuh 49, but their relationship came to an end in the final season when she explained that she was tired of him repeatedly putting KND priorities over her.* [10] He is the only operative on his team to be an only child, though he shares a siblinglike relationship with his cousin Numbuh 10. He is the first KND operative to be selected for Galactic Kids Next Door from planet Earth. His last name, Uno, is Italian and Spanish for "one".
Technology
• Numbuh 2 / Hogarth “Hoagie”Pennywhistle Gilligan, Jr. (voiced by Benjamin Diskin) - An inventor and pilot with a ion for flight, rarely seen without an old fashioned brown aviator hat with the number 2 on it. Numbuh 2 builds all the technology used by his sector. He is an overweight American boy with light brown hair who wears a light blue collared shirt, brown pants, and black sneakers. In “Operation: F.I.S.H.Y.”, he says he is Numbuh 4's “bestest best friend”. Hoagie often enjoys cracking puns, though he is the only one who finds them funny. His interests besides flight include Yipper trading cards and being a film-noir detective.

CHAPTER 2. THE CARTOON CARTOONS black leggings, and black sneakers. She is a fan of Rainbow Monkeys, a stuffed monkey toy series, and irrationally defends her love for them, occasionally allowing her aggressive side to show. In contrast with her innocent, gentle, and happy-go-lucky personality, she is the pilot of a giant robotic rabbit named H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P. (Hare Inspired Piston Powered Ingenious Exoskeleton Hops Over Parents), which is thoroughly armed with missiles; however, the robot is destroyed in every episode it appears in, with Numbuh 3 parachuting out afterwards. She has been shown on numerous occasions to scare her teammates with her fierce anger. She is shown to have a crush on Numbuh 4, most evident in “Operation: N.A.U.G.H.T.Y.”where she claims to have got the best gift for him and later when she was possessed by the powers of Santa's sleigh, and turned into a greedy creature, she was brought back to normal when Numbuh 4 gave her a Christmas gift (french fries). Unlike the others, the two often call each other Wally and Kuki rather than using their codenames. She also made a cameo in Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure where it is revealed that after Grim was fired from being the Grim Reaper, she was his replacement. Her last name “Sanban”is Japanese for “number three".
• Numbuh 4 / Wallabee “Wally”Beatles (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) - A short Australian boy with a blond bowl haircut known for acting impulsively. Wally wears an orange hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers. He is the most capable one of the team when it comes to physical fighting; however, his general lack of intelligence often leads to him being easily fooled and selected for dangerous missions. Numbuh 4 is shown to receive poor grades in school and is often depicted as dim-witted. However, he displayed intelligence in “Operation: S.A.T.U.R.N.”where he points out to Numbuh 3 that she cannot follow the Rainbow Monkey scent because there is no air in space and in “Operation: P.O.O.L.”he was able to tell his teammates from their Negative counterparts and later defeated his own counterpart Negative Numbuh 4 by making him scared when he told him“Well if you're my opposite, then that makes you a coward.”He is shown to sometimes bully kids in school and give them wedgies, but it is implied that he was also bullied by teenagers. In “Operation: B.R.I.E.F.”, he says that Numbuh 1 is his best friend. He has an infant brother named Joey Beatles who appears throughout the series. He also has a crush on his teammate, Numbuh 3 (which he often denies). He often makes compromises to please her and does things he does not want to do, such as dres as her plush toy and singing on stage with Kuki. He came close to confessing his feelings to her in many episodes “Operation: U.N.D.E.R.C.O.V.E.R.”, “Operation: H.O.S.P.I.T.A.L.”, “Operation: L.O.V.E.”
and “Operation: P.L.A.N.E.T.”In “Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.”, he is shown to be married to Numbuh 3. His last name is a reference to The Beatles, who had four principal .
• Numbuh 5 / Abigail “Abby”Lincoln(-Gilligan) (voiced by Cree Summer) - An intelligent and laid back girl of African American and French descent. She wears a red cap, blue dress with white stripes on the side, white shoes, and braided black hair. Despite having the highest number, Abby is Sector V's second-in-command, rarely overreacting in their missions, instead opting to calm her friends, and usually assumes leadership whenever Number 1 is absent, including saying “Kids Next Door, Battle Stations!", Number 1's usual line. She talks in third person much of the time, and loves sweets (especially ice cream). In “Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.”, it is shown that she takes over sector V after Numbuh 1's departure and becomes the supreme leader of KND. She often had episodes focused on her which involved Heinrich Von Marzipan, a candy hunting villain and rival. Abby has a teenage older sister named Cree (formerly known as Numbuh 11 and also voiced by Cree Summer) who betrayed the KND and is a recurring teenage villain. Her last name is a reference to the fact that President Abraham Lincoln is on the United States five-dollar bill.
• Numbuh 86 / Fanny Fulbright (voiced by Jennifer Hale) - Head of decommissioning who speaks and yells in a Scottish accent at unnecessary times. She has red hair and often wears a green shirt, an orange skirt, brown boots, and a gray helmet with the number 86 on the front. She is frequently shown to be sexist, believing girls are far superior to boys (often calling boys “stupid”). Due to this, the only character with a positive attitude of Numbuh 86 is the happy-go-lucky Numbuh 3. However, she its in “Operation: E.N.D.”that she finds Numbuh 4 to be “kind of cute”. In “Operation D.A.D.D.Y”, it is revealed her father is the villain Mr. Boss.
• Numbuh 362 / Rachel T. McKenzie (voiced by Rachael MacFarlane) - A blond girl who is the Supreme Leader of the Kids Next Door Organization, and one of the major recurring and ing characters in the show. Numbuh 362 gained a major role beginning with the season two episode “Operation: F.U.G.I.T.I.V.E.”, where it is explained that she is the KND's top spy. It is revealed in the season three episode “Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S.” that she had taken the position of supreme leader after Numbuh 274 was decommissioned.
2.17. CODENAME: KIDS NEXT DOOR Villains • Delightful Children from Down the Lane / Sector Z Operatives (voiced by Benjamin Diskin, Dee Bradley Baker, and Cree Summer) - Five “delightfulized”children who move, talk, even laugh in synchronization. They obey all adults, especially their adoptive father: they and Father are the most recurring villains of the series. Rather than interfere themselves, the Delightful Children usually stand back and let a giant robot or super-powered minion do their work. In “Operation: Z.E.R.O.”, it is revealed that they are the lost KND operatives of Sector Z, having been “delightfulized”by Father. Their names are: Bruce* [11] (short blonde boy), Lenny* [12] (football helmet boy), David* [13] (tall boy), Ashley (tall, blonde girl) and Ogie (chubby, brunette girl).* [14] In “Operation Z.E.R.O.”they were turned back to their original selves for a short while to help Nigel fight. They then reverted to their villain selves, due to the“delightfulization”process being permanent. • Father / Benedict Uno (voiced by Maurice LaMarche in Father mode and Jeff Bennett in Benedict mode) - An adult who constantly wears a suit of shadows, and is the KND's greatest enemy. He first appeared in the season 1 finale: Operation: G.R.O.W.-U.P.. His powers include pyrokinesis, levitation, mind control, and shape-shifting. Despite being one of the strongest villains on the show, he can be temporarily incapacitated by dousing his flames with cold substances or water. Father's body is completely black with a red outline along his body and eyebrows, giving him a silhouette-like appearance with few other discernible features, which include his bright yellow eyes. However, this is actually just an illusion, his true appearance is that of a tall, middle-aged man with glasses and suspenders, as seen in “Operation Z.E.R.O.”, as well as with his good counterpart from the alternate universe. In "Operation: Z.E.R.O", it is revealed that he is Numbuh 1's paternal uncle. • Mr. Boss (voiced by Jeff Bennett) - A child-hating corporate executive, who acts as the de facto leader of the KND's standard rogue's gallery. He is very physically large, has a bald head, a mustache, an over-sized cigar in his mouth, and a hunched back. He often holds gatherings for the other villains of the series. He also is Numbuh 86 and 85's father, and is the second in command of the villains after Father. In “Operation: D.A.D.D.Y.”, he explains to his daughter Numbuh 86 that while he loves his own children, he hates everybody else's children, with his original appearance involving him planning to launch the children of his employees into space so they'd be able to work late with no families to come home to.
83 • Numbuh 11 / Cree Lincoln (voiced by Cree Summer) - Numbuh 5's teenage elder sister and Father's apprentice, Numbuh 11 first appears in the season 2 episode “Operation: S.U.P.P.O.R.T.”She is a former KND operative (going by the name Numbuh 11) who served as leader and 2x4 tech officer of Sector V three years prior to the start of the series. She was the one who gave Numbuh 5 her trademark hat. Numbuh 2 has a crush on Numbuh 11, and makes advances towards her (which she repeatedly rejects). In “Operation: K.I.S.S.”when she comes across him after he accidentally turned himself into a teenager, he gives his name as “Hank” . The two go on a date, though Numbuh 11 is repulsed when she later finds out who “Hank”really is. Despite Numbuh 2's affections for Numbuh 11, he is shown to be married to Numbuh 5 in “Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S”. Numbuh 11 began working for Father after betraying the KND. • Numbuh 274 / Chad Dickson (voiced by Jason Harris) - The so-called“best”Kids Next Door operative, who rose through the ranks after becoming famous for defeating an infamous gang of adult tyrants.

In the following seasons, he ed the teenagers and became a recurring villain, leading his own team of villain teenagers known as The Jets. In the season 6 finale “Operation: T.R.E.A.T.Y.”, it is revealed that he was working undercover for the KND. He disappears along with Numbuh Infinity at the end of T.R.E.A.T.Y and is never seen again according to Numbuh One. He is the son of villains Mega-Mom and Destructo-Dad. • Knightbrace / Jasper Jelly (voiced by Tom Kenny) - A villain obsessed with dental and oral hygiene and has a weakness for taffy. Mr. Jelly had aspired to become a dentist all his life, but used extreme methods and was kicked out of dental school for trying to put braces on babies. He was then forced to work in his family's candy store, thus damaging children's teeth rather than cleaning them. He then became Knightbrace and sought out to repair the damage he had done. His one weakness is taffy. • Stickybeard (voiced by Mark Hamill) - A candyhunting pirate who sails the suburbs in his ship, The Sweet Revenge, with his crew of pirates, robbing kids of their candy. his name references the notorious real-life pirate Blackbeard, much like his ship references Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge, as well as the fact that his beard has pieces of candy stuck to it. The candy of Stickybeard and his crew is very prominent to the point that parts of the ship itself is made of candy, and they use weapons made of candy, such as candy cane swords and gumball cannons.

He was a cabin boy for notorious candy pirate Long John Licorice, before the former became cursed to a state of living licorice death along with the rest of his crew.
• Toiletnator / Lou Pottingsworth III (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) - The weakest villain in the series and an embarrassment to the other villains, to whom he is constantly trying to prove himself. He has control over toilets and toiletries. He is the selfproclaimed nemesis of Numbuh 4, who is revealed to be his nephew in the comic story “Operation: H.I.S.T.O.R.I.E.” • Count Spankulot (voiced by Daran Norris) - A spoof of Count Dracula, he is a vampire who spanks naughty children. The count made his brief debut in the episode “Operation: C.A.N.N.O.N”to spank the KND for not returning their library books on time and has become a recurring character ever since. By removing one of his gloves, he can turn people into spank-happy vampires like himself, and they can only change back to normal if they spank him. • Crazy Old Cat Lady (voiced by Grey DeLisle) A old woman who lives with thousands of black and white cats. She is an exaggeration of the common archetype of an old woman owning cats. Her bond with her cats is so strong that she possesses the power to control them and can order them to attack enemies when threatened. In extreme situations, the cats form together into the shape of a giant cat around her, which she directly controls. • Grandma Stuffum (voiced by Grey DeLisle) - A large German woman who creates gross armies of living food to fatten kids up to obese proportions so they will not cause trouble. She commands an army of living food that aggressively feeds itself to kids. Among these are Grandma Stuffum's constant companions, Liver and Onions. Stuffum has twice also exhibited above-average strength. • Mr. Fizz / Angelo Fizz (voiced by Jeff Bennett) The head of the Soda Control Board, who has raised the legal soda drinking age to thirteen. He enforces this law strongly, putting him in conflict with the Kids Next Door. Mr. Fizz speaks with a Spanish accent and wears a fancy white suit and purple glasses.

He is easily stressed out, and usually resorts to drinking soda to calm his nerves. • Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb / John Wink and Timothy Fibb (voiced by Tom Kenny and Dee Bradley Baker) - A pair of villains who use robotic Super
Chairs to fight the KND during the early seasons. They are almost always seen sitting next to each other and have an alternating speech pattern, often asking rhetorical questions to each other and addressing the other by name at the end of each sentence. They were inspired by Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd from the James Bond novel and film Diamonds are Forever. • Henrietta “Heinrich”Von Marzipan (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker and Candi Milo) - He is Numbuh 5's chubby German candy-hunting rival with blond hair, blue eyes and a monocle. He loves candy as much as his rival Numbuh 5 does. He is based on the Nazis from Indiana Jones films. In“Operation: C.A.R.A.M.E.L.”it is revealed that Heinrich is actually a girl. In the episode, magic caramels can be created by ritual that takes away one's most cherished quality. In turn for this sacrifice, the caramels become the most delicious candies in the world. Henrietta created the caramels using her femininity and ate what she believed to be all of them. Numbuh 5 kept the last remaining caramel that contained Heinrich's femininity and was able to reverse the ritual. • Ice Cream Men (voiced by Tom Kenny, Dee Bradley Baker, Kevin Michael Richardson, and Daran Norris) - The men who operate Ice Cream Trucks. In the KND universe, Ice Cream Men are portrayed as villains who mainly serve as henchmen to The Delightful Children From Down the Lane and Father. They sell ice cream only to “responsible adults”, referencing the real life tendency of ice cream trucks to drive by potential customers without stopping, to the point of it appearing intentional. Numbuh One was briefly employed by the group during the period he had been turned into an adult by the Delightful Children. • Senior Citizen Squad (voiced by Candi Milo, Tom Kenny and Dee Bradley Baker) - A group of senior citizens led by Numbuh 2's grandmother (Lydia Gilligan) who use an anti-aging cream that turns them into very physically agile teenagers. Apart from Lydia, the group consists of Sheldon and Maurice. The Senior Citizen Squad first appears in“Operation: T.A.P.I.O.C.A.”, where they are first seen hijacking a truck of Tapioca Pudding and being attacked and defeated by the Kids Next Door. Later, when they attack the Sector V Treehouse, the effects of the anti-aging cream wear off and their true identities are revealed. They also appear as of the senior citizens home being “helped” by Robin Food and his merry men, who have been stealing junk food from children and giving it to the elderly, while the seniors themselves hates the food, and would rather be served regular retirement home fare.

In “Operation: Z.E.R.O.” , he is revealed to be Numbuh 0, the founder of the modern age of the KND Organization (the 7th Age of the KND), as well as the older brother of Benedict Uno and the adoptive uncle of the Delightful Children From Down the Lane. • Numbuh L / Numbuh 49(-Temporary) /Elizabeth “Lizzie”Devine (voiced by Grey DeLisle) - Numbuh 1's chubby red-haired girlfriend with glasses. Numbuh L is very possessive over him and will often go out of her way to try to get him to spend more time with her. She gets angry when he puts his KND work before her and his tendency to jilt her or break off dates just to go on missions. Even though she continues to tolerate it, she eventually breaks up with him, after repeatedly being neglected for his missions. The rest of the team find her to be more of an annoyance or a topic to pester Nigel about rather than a helpful ally, though she has been useful in a few instances. • Numbuh T / Thomas “Tommy”Gilligan (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) - Numbuh 2's younger brother, first appearing in “Operation: T.O.M.M.Y.”in his first appearance, Tommy was an enemy of the KND because he wanted to be with his older brother and hang out with his friends, but they would not allow it. When he started proving to be more useful, they changed their minds. He originally sought to the KND as “Numbuh T” (despite being repeatedly told that “T”is not a number), which the others agreed to after his helping them in the season 2 finale“Operation: E.N.D.” However, he was forced to quit to save them from Father in “Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S.”and, due to a computer safeguard, was unable to re. As such, he continued to defend kids as a vigilante, “The Tommy”.

Adventure Time (originally titled Adventure Time with Finn & Jake* [7]) is an American animated television series created by Pendleton Ward for Cartoon Network. The series follows the adventures of Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada), a human boy, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio), a dog with magical powers to change shape and grow and shrink at will.

In addition, he explained that he tries to include

89 Finn and an “oblivious”Princess Bubblegum going on a spaghetti-supper date.* [12] However, the network was not happy with this story, and asked for another. Ward then created an early storyboard for the episode "The Enchiridion!" which was his attempt to emulate the style of the original Nicktoons short. Cartoon Network approved the first season in September 2008, and “The Enchiridion!" became the first episode to enter into production.* [12]* [13]* [15]* [16] The series was originally billed as Adventure Time with Finn and Jake.* [7] This was because the producers were at first unsure if they could secure the rights to the simpler title Adventure Time. Despite these initial reservations, the end of the original was later dropped.* [17]
Production
The show was created by Pendleton Ward.
“beautiful”moments like those in Hayao Miyazaki's film My Neighbor Totoro, in combinations with elements of subversive humor.* [2] The show began as a single standalone animated short which ran for seven minutes. Ward created the short almost entirely by himself, and wrapped up production for the short in the spring of 2006.* [9] It originally aired on Nicktoons Network as a stand-alone short in January 2007,* [9] and was later re-aired as part of Frederator Studios' Random! Cartoons on December 7, 2008.* [1]* [10] After its initial release, the short video became a viral hit on the internet.* [11] Frederator Studios then pitched an Adventure Time series to Nicktoons Network, but the network ed on it twice.* [12] The studio then approached Cartoon Network. The network said they would be willing to produce the series if Ward could prove that the series could be expanded into a series while maintaining elements from the original short.* [13] Ward quickly retooled the concept of the pilot; he wanted a potential series to be “fully realized”, rather than be characterized by the “pre-school vibe”that permeated the original pilot.* [11] One of the major changes from the pilot to the series was the new-found emphasis placed on the background art. Dan “Ghostshrimp” James, a freelance illustrator and former Flapjack storyboardist, was tasked with deg the world of the show; reportedly, he was told by Ward to make the series look like it took“place in a 'Ghostshrimp World'".* [11]* [14] He designed major locations, such as Finn and Jake's home, the Candy Kingdom, and the Ice Kingdom.* [14] Ward, with help from his college friends Pat McHale and Adam Muto, turned in a rough storyboard that featured
While many cartoons are based on script pitches to network executives, Cartoon Network allowed Adventure Time to “build their own teams organically”and communication through the use of storyboards and animatics.* [18] Cartoon Network chief content officer Rob Sorcher explained that this novel approach was sanctioned because the company was dealing with“primarily visual people”and that by using storyboards the writers and artists could learn and grow “by actually doing the work.”* [18] Many of the series' artists have backgrounds in indie comics. Pendleton Ward refers to them as “really smart, smartypants people”who were responsible for inserting weirder and more spiritual ideas into the series during its third season.* [19] In an interview with The A.V. Club, Ward explained that the writing process for the show usually begins with the writers telling each other what they had done the past week in an attempt to find something humorous to build off of. He also said that,“a lot of the time, if we’re really stuck, we’ll start saying everything that comes to our mind, which is usually the worst stuff, and then someone else will think that’s terrible but it’ll give him a better idea and the ball just starts rolling like that.”* [20] Ward also revealed that a major inspiration for the series is the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons. Before the series aired, many of the writers were avid fans of the game. However, because of the busy schedule that comes with writing and coordinating a television series, they no longer had time to actively play the game. Ward explained that, because the writers were too busy, they would attempt to write stories that they would “want to be playing D&D with.”* [20] Sometimes, the series' writers and storyboard artists convene and play various writing games.* [21] One example is called exquisite corpse, in which one writer starts a story on a sheet of paper, and the paper is folded and another writer tries to finish it.* [21]* [22] Ward, however, noted that “the ideas are usually terrible”.* [22] Storyboard artist Cole Sanchez revealed that episodes' scripts are either created by expanding the good ideas that these writing games produce, or

Adventure Time is a storyboard-driven series, meaning that the writers for the episodes use storyboard templates (pictured) to draft out both the dialogue, as well as the action in a scene.
After the writers pitch the stories, the ideas are compiled onto a “two-to-three”page outline that contain “the important beats”.* [23] The episodes are then ed to storyboard artists, who are given a week to“thumbnail a storyboard”and fill in the details, complete with action, dialogue, and jokes.* [23]* [24] Ward and his creative directors then review the storyboard and make notes. The storyboard artists are then given another week to implement the notes and clean up the episode.* [24] Storyboard writing and revisioning can take up to a month. Following the revisions, the voices for the episode are recorded and an animatic is compiled to get the timing of the episode down to the necessary 11 minutes. Prop, character, and background designers then create and clean up the designs. Following this, the animation process begins.* [25]* [26] The episodes' design and coloring are done in Burbank, California. Animation is handled overseas in South Korea, courtesy of Rough Draft Korea, a sister studio of Rough Draft Studios, Inc.* [26]* [27]
Ward described the show as a “dark comedy"; he said “dark comedies are my favorite, because I love that feeling—being happy and scared at the same time. It's my favorite way to feel—when I'm on the edge of my seat but I'm happy, that sense of conflicting emotions. And there's a lot of that in the show, I think.”* [32] Executive producer Fred Seibert compared the show's animation style to that of Felix the Cat and various Max Fleischer cartoons, but said that its world was also equally inspired by Dungeons and Dragons and video games.* [33] Ward intends the show's world to have a certain physical logic instead of“cartoony slapstick". As a result, even though magic exists in the story, the show's writers try to create an internal consistency in how the characters interact with the world.* [2]* [33] In the United States, the series is rated TV-PG,* [34] and Ward has said that he does not want to push the show's PG rating. He explained,“I’ve never really even thought about the rating. [...] we don’t like stuff that’s overly gross. We like cute stuff and nice things”.* [24]
Actually animating an episode takes about three to five months.* [25]* [26] During this time, retakes, music scoring, and sound design are completed.* [25] Once the animation is finished, it is sent back to America where it is reviewed; during this time, the staff looks for mistakes in the animation, or “things that didn’t animate the way [the staff] intended”.* [26] These issues are then fixed in Korea and the episode is finished.* [26] It takes about eight to nine months for a single episode to be created, although multiple episodes are worked on at the same time.* [20]* [25]* [26] According to former lead character designer Phil Rynda, most preproduction is done in Photoshop. The animation is then hand-drawn on paper, then digitally composited.* [28]* [29] However, there have been elements in episodes that were not hand-drawn, such as the second season entry“Guardians of Sunshine” , which was partially rendered in 3-D to emulate a video game,* [28] and the fifth season episode "A Glitch is a
The episode“All Your Fault”was the last regular episode of the series to feature a “directed by”credit.* [35] The subsequent episode,“Little Dude”, only credited Adam Muto as supervising Director and Nick Jennings as art director.* [36] Muto later explained that as of season five, no one was being credited solely as director.* [37] Both Muto and Nate Cash had, in previous episodes, been credited as creative directors, but according to Muto, the series decided to phase the title out in favor of the title “supervising director”.* [37] “Bad Little Boy”, the subsequent episode, however, still had a “directed by”credit.* [38] This is due to the fact that the episode was produced before“Little Dude”, but aired out of order.* [39] Similarly,“A Glitch is a Glitch”also featured a“directed by”credit, but this is due to the fact that the episode's director, OReilly, was a guest animator and director for the series.* [30] For the first half of the season, both Muto and Nate Cash took turns holding the supervising director credit on different episodes.* [36]* [40] Starting with “Shh!", however, Elizabeth Ito, a former storyboard artist for the show in season one, returned to the series and was also credited as supervising director in place of Muto.* [41] Muto in turn was promoted to supervising producer,* [42] and later co-executive producer.* [43] In an interview with Rolling Stone, Ward revealed that he stepped down as series showrunner sometime during the fifth season. The duties of showrunner then fell to Muto.* [44]
3.1. ADVENTURE TIME Cast The voice actors include voice acting veterans John DiMaggio (who portrays Jake the Dog), Tom Kenny (who plays the Ice King), and Hynden Walch (who voices Princess Bubblegum). In addition, Jeremy Shada portrays the voice of Finn the Human, and Olivia Olson portrays Marceline the Vampire Queen. Ward himself provides the voice for several minor characters, as well as Lumpy Space Princess. Former storyboard artist Niki Yang voices the sentient video game console BMO, as well as Jake's girlfriend, Lady Rainicorn.* [45] Polly Lou Livingston, a friend of Pendleton Ward's mother, Bettie Ward, plays the voice of the small elephant Tree Trunks.* [46]* [47] The Adventure Time cast records their lines together in group recordings as opposed to different recording sessions with each voice actor. This is to record more natural sounding dialogue among the characters. Hynden Walch compared these group recordings to“doing a play reading—a really, really out there play.”* [48] The series also regularly employs guest actors and actresses for minor and recurring characters.* [49] The crew cast people who they are interested in working with. In a , both Adam Muto and Kent Osborne noted that the Adventure Time crew has been attempting to cast the entire cast of both Star Trek: The Next Generation and The Office as various characters.* [50]
91 the Mushroom War, the origin of the series' principal antagonist the Lich, and the backstory of several of the series principal and recurring characters, such as the Ice King, Marceline, and Princess Bubblegum.* [54]* [55]* [56] Ward has itted that the details behind the Mushroom War and the series' dark mythology form “a story worthy telling”, but that he feels that the show will “save it and continue to dance around how heavy the back-history of Ooo is.”* [57]
Title sequence and music
Originally, when Ward was developing the title sequences, the rough draft version consisted of quick shots and vignettes that were “just sort of crazy, nonsensical”, and that alluded to the show's theme of quirky adventures.* [24] These shots included “the characters [...] just punching random ghosts and monsters, jumping through anything and everything [and] there were a bunch of atomic bombs at the end of it”.* [24] Ward later called this version “really silly”.* [24] After he sent the draft to the network, they did not enjoy it; they wanted something more graphical, like the intro to The Brady Bunch. Ward, inspired by the intros to The Simpsons and Peewee's Playhouse developed a new intro that would feature a panning sweep of the Land of Ooo, all the while, a synthesizer note would slowly rise until the main theme enters. Ward's draft for this idea was handed off to laySetting and mythology out animators and the sequence took shape. Notably, Pat McHale worked on the Ice King's shot and gave him a The show is set in a fictional continent called the “Land “high school book”smile, and the crew also struggled on of Ooo”,* [51] in a post-apocalyptic future about a thou- getting Marceline's shadows correct.* [24] After the pansand years after the“Great Mushroom War”, essentially ning sweep, the intro cuts to the theme song, with shots of a nuclear holocaust. According to Ward, the show takes Finn and Jake adventuring. For this part of the sequence, place “after the bombs have fallen and magic has come Ward was inspired by the “simple”aspects of the inback into the world”.* [52] Before the series was fully tro for the 2007 comedy film Superbad; when the theme developed, Ward's original intention was for the Land of mentions “Jake the Dog”and “Finn the Human”, the Ooo to simply be “magical”.

Many of the cast —such as Shada, Kenny, and Olson—sing their own songs.* [48]* [60]* [61] Characters often express their emotions via song; examples of this include Marceline's “I'm Just Your Problem”, as well as Finn's“All Gummed Up Inside”.* [62]* [63] Although the background music for the series is composed by Basichis and Kiefer, the songs sung by characters are often written by the storyboard artists.* [64]* [65] For instance, the“Fry Song”was written by storyboard artist Rebecca Sugar, who storyboarded the song's parent episode "It Came from the Nightosphere". Reportedly, during the network pitch of the episode, Ward beatboxed and Sugar played ukelele and the two performed the “Fry Song” . Sugar later called the experience “super terrifying” , although the network did green-light the episode.* [65] Frederator, Seibert's production company, would often post various demos and full versions of songs sung by the characters.* [66]* [67] The show rarely refers to popular music, although Johnny Cash's 1969 single "A Boy Named Sue" was originally supposed to be featured in the third season episode “Dad's Dungeon”, the 1982 song "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" by Gary Portnoy —better known as the theme from the sitcom Cheers—played a pivotal role in the fifth season episode "Simon & Marcy", Tree Trunks sings a karaoke version of the song "(I'd Like to Get You on a) Slow Boat to China" in the fifth season episode “Bad Timing”, and the Frank Zappa album Apostrophe (') makes an appearance in the same episode.* [56]* [68]* [69]* [70] Furthermore, the promotional television ad for the sixth season premiere "Wake Up" and "Escape from the Citadel" featured the song "Cat's in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin.* [71]

3.2. BEN 10 (TV SERIES) • Benjamin Kirby “Ben”Tennyson:
101 One of the most feared aliens in the galaxy and archenemy of Ben. Vilgax is vicious, arrogant, and dangerously relentless, as he will stop at nothing to take the Omnitrix, which he wishes to use in order to create a transforming super army. In the past, Vilgax was an enemy of Grandpa Max. Vilgax was injured and remained in a regeneration chamber in the first season, but when completely healed, he was cybernetically enhanced, giving him colossal size, strength and durability that made him a match for every alien Ben could access at that time.
Ben is shown to be a cocky, immature boy, who is not above enjoying attention and enjoys making jokes even during fights. Though his immaturity makes a bad impression on some people, Ben is good-hearted, noble, and loyal, and his actions are motivated above all by a strong and sincere will to help and save others in need. He will stop at nothing to protect his family or anyone in danger whether human or alien.

It was shown that Max had a childhood friend called Donovan Grand Smith, who sums up Max:“growing up he always was the worrywart never the risk-taker”, like himself. Thirty years earlier, Donovan and Max had both been broke when Donovan offered Max a business opportunity which he turned down. Max later became a Plumber (Donovan thought Max was an actual plumber), establishing that Max's career as a Plumber lasted for about twenty-eight years before he retired (Max mentioned that after twenty-eight years on the job, he'd never figured out who was behind the Bermuda Triangle). It was revealed that Max had been an astronaut and would have been the first man on the moon, but left the program before the Apollo Moon mission. In his own words, Max said he just “took his step for mankind in other ways”. Main villains • Vilgax:

This drove him insane, and he dropped off the map for five years until he could perfect his research.

She first appears to be loyal to her uncle, but was actually using him to get power for herself. She becomes Gwen's personal nemesis. Her powers include mana manipulation and spell-casting.

CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES
Themes
The Omnitrix (The Omnimatrix) Main article: List of Ben 10 aliens The Omnitrix (The prefix omni- means all, the trix means matrix) was originally created by a Galvan (Grey Matter's species) named Azmuth and Albedo. The Omnitrix was intended to allow beings to experience life as other species in order to bring understanding and foster peace in the universe. In the first form that Ben found, the Omnitrix looked like a wristwatch, primarily black and gray in color, with a gray (or black) dial in the middle (like a watch face) and had a green hourglass shape on it (actually the intergalactic “peace”symbol, also on Plumber's Badges and Azmuth's home world). However, many beings, like Vilgax have seen the Omnitrix' abilities as something that could be used as a powerful weapon.

However, this may possibly be a safety mechanism where the Omnitrix taps into an emergency reserve of energy, as the Omnitrix almost immediately timed out mere moments later. This feature was apparently switched off after the recalibration. The Omnitrix has been known to 'malfunction', such as unexpectedly timing out, recharging instantly or changing into a different alien than was selected; however, these might be safeguards programmed to protect against someone stealing it. It was confirmed by Dwayne McDuffie, the Omnitrix times out not to recharge its energy, but to prevent damage to Ben. Capture Mode

Films, Sequels, and Spin Offs
TV films Two Ben 10 films have been released at different times during 2007 and 2008. The first is a regular animated feature called Secret of the Omnitrix, in which the Omnitrix is accidentally set to self-destruct and Ben must track down its creator to stop it. A trailer of the film was released with the film Billy & Mandy: Wrath of the Spider Queen, and it aired August 10, 2007. Michael Ouweleen described the film's villain, which was actually Vilgax, as “like Darth Vader without the sense of humor.”* [6] A different version of Secrets of the Omnitrix, which introduced a different alien (Eye Guy) to the one in the original (Heatblast), aired on September 1, 2007. A third version (in which XLR8 was featured) aired on October 20, 2007. It was stated during the premiere of Alien Force that Secret of the Omnitrix was intended to be the chronological finale of Ben 10, even though it was broadcast long before the last episode, which was not canon. A CGI movie titled Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens was first released on March 11, 2012 in Asia* [7] and on March 23, 2012* [8]* [9] in the US. The movie focuses on a 10-yearold Ben returning to school after the summer.* [10]* [11] The movie was released in 2 different versions on Asia. The Filipino viewers will hear the Philippine winners while the rest of Southeast Asia will hear the Malaysian kids.* [12]
Sequel series Main articles: Ben 10: Alien Force, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien and Ben 10: Omniverse Ben 10: Alien Force is the sequel to the show set five years after the original series. As an indirect result, this series is darker in tone compared to its predecessor. The series premiered on Cartoon Network on April 18, 2008 and ended on March 26, 2010. It has since been premiered in Canada, on Teletoon.* [13] A video game of the show is now out for the Nintendo DS, Wii, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable.* [14] Another sequel series, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, premiered on April 23, 2010 and takes place 3–4 weeks after the finale of Alien Force.* [15]
Protector of Earth Main article: Ben 10: Protector of Earth This is the first Ben 10 video game, released in autumn 2007. Following the success of the Ben 10 animated TV series and films, various Ben 10 merchandise has been released for general sale.

In “War of the Worlds Part 2”, the Omnitrix had reset, also turning the time out warning function back on. The hourglass, when recharging, also flashes red instead of remaining a solid red as it had when the Omnitrix was in its original configuration. In “Ben 10: Alien Force The Video Game”, when the Omnitrix was out of power it beeped differently from in the original series, from “The Secret of Chromastone” and so on, the Omnitrix flashes green instead of red when signaling a time out. Capture Mode When a new DNA sample has been unlocked from the Codon Stream for future use (it identifies the DNA against the database on Primus, then unlocks that code on the Omnitrix), or when the Omnitrix actually captures new DNA that is not already present in the Codon Stream. It can also reclaim lost alien forms that may have escaped the Omnitrix. Absorbing lost alien forms can be done in two ways: when transformed into an alien, the Omnitrix flashes a yellow light and absorbs the alien; or when the Omnitrix is inactive, it sends some radar waves and then reabsorbs the alien. Unlike in the original series, if an alien touches the Omnitrix in Ben 10: Alien Force it will not be captured because it doesn't work the same way after it recalibrated. Self-Destruction Mode It was used when Ben wanted to take back the Omnitrix from Vilgax, but it didn't work; despite that the S.D.M was used and successfully triggered in, it only destroyed the Omnitrix rather than the universe, though this is because it only charged for 30 seconds, it might because the S.D.M was intentional.

The images of the aliens in the Omnitrix are shown in green, while the escaped ones are shown in black; • There is a particular method used to safely remove the Omnitrix, that could be how he removed it between the two series. It involves a code that the wearer of the Omnitrix uses with voice activation (Decouple Omnitrix Command Code: 000 Release Coupling 0). Ben may have known this code as he may have ed it if he used the code to take off the Omnitrix after he was done with it at the end of Ben 10; • When suffering from electromagnetic interference, the Omnitrix can cause unintentional transformations, and the Omnitrix will be unable to deactivate until the source of the interference is gone. This is how the Tiffin was unintentionally sending signals that caused the Omnitrix to malfunction, turning Ben into Rath.

This happened in “Secrets"; • When in danger, Primus can send a distress call to the Omnitrix, which teleports itself to Primus with its host in order to protect the planet; • As revealed in“Vengeance of Vilgax”, if the Omnitrix is hacked, some of the stored species may escape the Codon Stream.

However, in the premiere episode,“Fame”, a young fan named Jimmy Jones deduces Ben's secret identity and reveals it to the world. Ben becomes an overnight celebrity, hailed by kids as a hero but distrusted by most adults as a possible threat. With Gwen, Kevin, Julie, and Grandpa Max still at his side, Ben continues to battle alien threats to the galaxy, including finding five aliens that were attacked and kidnapped by an Osmosian villain named Aggregor. Their names were Bivalvan, Galapegus, P'andor, Andreas, and Ra'ad. After Aggregor captured and fused with all five aliens, he began searching for the Map of Infinity to go to the Forge of Creation and absorb the vastly limitless, infinite God/cosmic-like powers of Celestialsapiens. Later, Kevin is forced to absorb energy from the Ultimatrix and goes insane with tremendous energy and power, but is shown that he does still have a good human heart, and still does care, and that he has not gone completely evil. Kevin is eventually returned to normal and Aggregor's actions are reversed.* [2]

3.5. CAMP LAZLO a“calming”effect due to the tree-filled backgrounds. At the time he believed that too many futuristic themes appeared in media and literature, so he wished to create a series that would “get back to nature”.* [2] Camp Lazlo originated from a camp-related children's book series concept by Murray that, according to him, “outgrew its medium”. As Murray developed the concept, he felt that his “lunatic characters wanted to live”and decided that a simple story could not sufficiently house his characters. Murray desired to create a series about a group of children without“high tech stimulus”and“in nature”.* [3] Linda Simensky, who had previously worked with Murray on Rocko, had since moved to Cartoon Network and called Murray to solicit a new series. After an initial hesitation, Murray sent Simensky* [4] the idea for a show with a working title of 3 Beans. Simensky“thought it sounded too much like a salad”, so Murray changed the name to Camp Lazlo. When approval was given, Murray decided to produce the show at Cartoon Network Studios and brought Mark O'Hare on as co-producer.* [5]
113 creating Rocko's Modern Life to return and perform duties for Camp Lazlo, describing his main tactic to attract the crew as "coercion.”Murray wanted the Rocko's Modern Life crew as it “knows my sensibilities”and gained ten years of experience. Crew of Rocko's Modern Life, such as Robert Scull or Peter Burns, have worked on this show.* [2] For season one, Murray hired among others comedy writer Martin Olson, who had collaborated with Murray on some of the most successful stories for Rocko's Modern Life. Murray asked Tom Kenny to voice characters because Murray felt that Kenny “adds writing to his roles” and “brings so much.”Murray looked for “comedic timing”in his voice actors, and therefore he used many stand-up comics and sketch actors.* [2]
The music score for the show was composed by Andy Paley, and features original camp songs, bluegrass and cowboy swing. Joe Murray explained that the team often used“strange instruments”such as washboards, and the musical saw.* [2] In addition to Paley's music score, According to Murray, the“green light”to start Lazlo had the show also utilized many tracks from the Associated been initially given and later revoked, leaving Murray and Production Music library.

CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES
color schemes on real-life colors; Murray and Sue Mondt, the art director, chose the colors. In Camp Lazlo, the sky can be yellow, and trees are not always green and brown. For the architecture and objects, books with cabins, camps and Native American artifacts were consulted. Ultimately, Murray wanted to create a place where nature prevails, and the hustle and bustle of real-life is left behind, with no technology to distract from the impressions of camp life. He describes the camp as having a “retro”feel. Murray likes 1950s and early 1960s designs of objects like advertising art, lamps, and old vacation brochures, and he said that the “brushy quality that developed at that time”heavily influenced the setting.* [2] The exact geographical locations of these settings is unknown. • Camp Kidney, set in the Pimpleback Mountains next to Leakey Lake, is the camp where most of the show takes place. This is a summer camp attended by a group of boy scout-like campers called The Bean Scouts. In keeping the theme of the name of the camp, the campers are allowed to name their cabins after various types of beans: Jelly Cabin, Pinto Cabin, Fava Cabin, and so on. The camp is known for a low standard of quality, and has been threatened with closure more than once. The camp is led by Scoutmaster Lumpus, with most of the istrative details assigned to his assistant, Mr. Slinkman. A full staff complements the camp, including a nurse and a chef. • Acorn Flats is across the lake from Camp Kidney, attended by girls of similar age, called the Squirrel Scouts. Acorn Flats has higher quality facilities than Camp Kidney, a point of contention between the two respective camps, with Acorn Flats being the more dominant in the rivalry. The leader of the Squirrel Scouts is Jane Doe, and her assistant, Ms. Rubella Mucus. Both Camp Kidney and Acorn Flats are part a larger hierarchical organization, under the direct command of Commander Hoo-ha, with “The Big Bean”as the head of all scout chapters, which includes Beans and Squirrels and (possibly) Tomato Scouts.

Richmond said that the show forms “plenty lively and a nice, safe way for a child viewer to spend a half-hour.”Richmond said that the show has too much “self-consciously precious”humor; the reviewer said that the trait may not factor for children and described children as “demanding and non-discriminating at the same time.”* [12] Ginia Bellafante of The New York Times said that if she became “socio-analytical about the Lazlo enterprise,” Camp Kidney appears to be a stand-in for “our culture of obsessive parenting.”* [13] Kathie Huddleston, a reporter for the Science Fiction Weekly, created a favorable review of Camp Lazlo.* [14] The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reviewed the series and gave it an “A.”* [15] Joly Herman of Common Sense Media posted a review of Camp Lazlo on Go.com.

The game is published by Crave Entertainment and developed by Collision Studios. The player plays as the three main characters (Lazlo, Clam and Raj) to compete in a series of game challenges and earn merit badges in the Leaky Lake Games event. That will allow them to compete against the Squirrel Scouts in a final tournament. In the game, the player meets characters, such as Scoutmaster Lumpus, Slinkman, Edward, and many others to receive hints and directions in achieving goals in the game. They trigger some of the mini-games, which are all timed. The game received generally mixed reviews.* [22]

McDonald's Camp Lazlo characters appeared in a commercial for McDonald's and in Happy Meals. Murray did not want for the series to be used in Happy Meals; the only action he could take was refusing to appear in the television commercials. Murray stated on his website that he will not explain his opposition to Happy Meals due to his respect for the effort placed by Cartoon Network “marketing people.”Murray stated that his opinions are his alone and do not reflect the opinions of Cartoon Network. He said that he appreciates Cartoon Network's “campaign for healthier eating habits for kids.”“C”Raggio, a character designer, appeared in the commercials instead.* [23]* [24]

3.6 Cartoonstitute The Cartoonstitute was a planned Cartoon Network project created by Cartoon Network's executive Rob Sorcher that would have been a showcase for animated shorts created without the interference of network executives and focus testing. It was headed by Craig McCracken (creator of The Powerpuff Girls, and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends) and Rob Renzetti (creator of My Life as a Teenage Robot).* [1]* [2] 39 shorts for the project were in development at Cartoon Network Studios, but only 14 of these were completed. Eventually, balancing 5 shows and adding another proved difficult and the project was scrapped.* [3] Of the shorts which were made, only Regular Show and Uncle Grandpa have been greenlit to become animated series (the latter was initially greenlit as Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, before becoming a series of its own).* [4] On May 7, 2010, Cartoon Network ed nearly all of the shorts to their website. The only shorts not ed were Maruined, 3 Dog Band, and Joey to the World.* [5]

3.7 Chowder (TV series) Chowder is an American animated television series created by C.H. Greenblatt for Cartoon Network. The series follows an aspiring young chef named Chowder and his day-to-day adventures as an apprentice in Mung Daal's catering company. Although he means well, Chowder often finds himself in predicaments due to his perpetual appetite and his nature as a scatterbrain. He is also pestered by Panini, the apprentice of Mung's rival Endive, who wants Chowder to be her“boyfriend”, which he abhors. The series is animated with both traditional animation as well as short stop motion puppet sequences that are intercut into the episodes, and that run over the end credits. Chowder premiered on November 2, 2007, and ran for three seasons with 49 total episodes. It garnered one Primetime Emmy Award win, six Annie Award nominations, and two additional Emmy Award nominations during its run. The series finale, “Chowder Grows Up”, aired on August 7, 2010, and features Logan Grove as the voice of Chowder.
The series was first announced on April 3, 2008, at Cartoon Network's annual upfront in New York City. The project was to be similar to The Cartoon Cartoon Show (also known as the What a Cartoon! Show) which aired on the network more than a decade earlier and gave birth to some of the channel's first animated series, such as Dexter's Laboratory and Cow and Chicken. The Cartoonstitute was to establish a think tank and create an en- 3.7.1 Characters vironment in which animators can create characters and stories. A section of Cartoon Network Studios in Bur- Main characters bank, California, was set aside exclusively for the project. • Chowder (voiced by Nicky Jones): A 10-year-old The “Cartoonstitute”name was imagined by Lauren Faust, the wife of Craig McCracken, and one of the later chubby purple cat—bear—rabbit* [1] who serves as * creators of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

3.7. CHOWDER (TV SERIES) lives with Mung Daal and his wife, Truffles, in a room at the top of the catering business. Chowder wants to become a great chef, but he is very impulsive and scatterbrained and often gives in to his urges. He is always hungry and eats anything, even a customer's order. Chowder can also regurgitate objects, and he is used as a storage container by the other characters. According to Greenblatt, he is a composite of a cat, a bear and a rabbit, and his species was verified in at least one episode.* [2] C.H. Greenblatt voiced his adult self in the last episode. • Mung Daal (voiced by Dwight Schultz): The elderly short tempered chef who runs the catering company at which Chowder works.* [3] Although his exact age has not been stated, he has mentioned that he has cooked for at least 386 years,* [4] and he celebrated 450 years of marriage to Truffles (see below).* [5] He is a light blue-colored humanoid of indeterminate species. Mung is named after the Indian dish mung daal; Greenblatt had originally planned to give Mung an Indian accent, but later decided against it.* [6] • Shnitzel (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson in “The Froggy Apple Crumple Thumpkin”, and John DiMaggio afterward): A taupe rock monster and professional chef who works at Mung Daal's Catering Company. His vocabulary consists almost entirely of “Radda”while it translated “Okay”, although he sometimes says other simple words.* [7] He talks in the episode“The Trouble with Truffles” because he finally gets calm enough. Shnitzel is the "straight man" to the other more excitable characters and is frequently agitated. He gets stuck with menial labor or cleanup duty, as well as the heavy lifting because he is extremely strong. Although usually angered by Chowder's antics, Shnitzel really has a soft spot for Chowder, as he cries when it was thought that Chowder has vanished forever.* [7]* [8] Kevin Michael Richardson voiced Shnitzel for the debut episode “The Froggy Apple Crumple Thumpkin” and was replaced at the last moment by DiMaggio due to Richardson being busy with other projects at the time.* [7]
117 ally in Chowder in a manner similar to how Oscar the Grouch appears in Sesame Street.* [10]* [11] • Gazpacho (voiced by Dana Snyder): A woolly mammoth storekeeper who sells strange produce and ingredients at the farmer's market. He does his best to offer advice to Chowder when needed. He lives with his overbearing mother, who never appears on screen, but is present at the end of episode “Gazpacho!". In “The Spookiest House in Marzipan”it is hinted at that Gazpacho has no mother, and that he actually suffers with dissociative identity disorder, but creator Greenblatt says this was merely to “pay homage to Psycho". Gazpacho shows no interest in moving out and improving his own life. Gazpacho's worst enemies are ninjas. Greenblatt named him after the cold soup gazpacho; Greenblatt said that he did not know why, but the name suited the character immediately.* [6] • Panini (voiced by Liliana Mumy): A 10-year-old pink Cabbit who has a crush on Chowder and reminds him at every opportunity. Chowder does not return the feelings and responds with“I'm not your boyfriend!" whenever she greets him. Panini is an apprentice to Ms. Endive, and is also possessive of Chowder. Panini gets jealous when she sees Chowder with another girl. Her original character concept had her bully Chowder in a manner described by Greenblatt as similar to Angelica Pickles from Rugrats.* [12] Greenblatt removed the pointy ears since he felt this did not fit in with the rounded shapes in Chowder. Greenblatt did not like characters similar to Angelica and believed that he needed to make Panini “cuter and sweeter”.* [12] Greenblatt said that the details of Panini formed when the creator decided that Panini had a crush on Chowder; since Chowder is not old enough to fall in love with females, according to Greenblatt this aspect would frustrate Chowder “in a more fun way”.* [12] In the last episode, it is shown that Chowder finally returned Panini's feelings and they are married with many kids and was voiced by Grey DeLisle. Panini's name literally means“sandwiches”in Italian, while her former name, Borlotti, is a type of beans.

She is practical but has a foul temper and easily loses pa• Ms. Endive (voiced by Mindy Sterling): A smart obese female chef who teaches cooking to Panini tience with her husband, his staff, and their cuswith strict discipline.

CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES despises boys and boyfriends because her fiancé did not show up on their wedding day. Ms. Endive is first seen in the second episode with Panini,“Chowder's Girlfriend”. The creator describes her as Martha Stewart with Oompa-Loompa colors.* [13] Greenblatt chose to name her after the endive since endive is bitter and Belgian endive is fancy; hence the character is bitter and fancy.* [6] Endive's character stayed constant throughout the initial development. The long nose, which changed from a rectangular shape to a triangle shape for the final version, represents how Endive looks down at other characters. It was revealed in later episodes that Ms. Endive is in love with Shnitzel. Greenblatt said that he felt that her evolution throughout the series was fun to observe, especially when William Reiss wrote plots involving Endive.* [12]
• Kiwi (voiced by C.H. Greenblatt) is a photorealistic pink creature who always gives advice to Chowder and his friends. His name is only pronounced in the episode “Brain Grub”, where it is known that after Chowder alters the animated universe, Kiwi is reduced to selling used cars. • Kimchi (voiced by C.H. Greenblatt): Chowder's pet, who lives in a cage next to his bed. Kimchi is an anthropomorphic flatus (due to the unpleasant odor of kimchi). He likes things with odors unpleasant for the other characters, and he “talks”by making flatulent sounds. Kimchi was first seen in the episode “The Froggy Apple Crumple Thumpkin” . Kimchi is usually shown with a blank personality but in “Stinky Love”it is shown that he has an opinion.* [14]
to Paté and Panini's best friend, Ceviche was introduced in the episode “The Apprentice Games”. He practices aerobic-style dancing and is very charitable and kind to others. Because of his irable attitude and amazing talents (as well as good looks, as it was shown on one episode that he has a wellsculpted body) he is well-liked. He is good friends with Panini and will make unwanted advances upon her, which are either refused or unnoticed. Ceviche is also a close friend to Chowder. He has a crush on Panini. He speaks in a monotonous voice and serves as deadpan humor for the show. • Chestnut (originally voiced by Tone Lōc, then John DiMaggio): Like the food, Chestnut is small and tough. He is a tiny, blue horned devil-like creature with a deep, gravelly voice and, to many character's surprise, is physically very strong. Because of his size, he uses everyday objects as other things (e.g. using a briefcase for a hydrofoil, or a hat as a vacation home). He sings small songs to himself, usually consisting of his catchphrase of “Dinka loo dinka lee.”He is teacher of the BLTs, a parody of the SATs. He always refers to himself in the third person when speaking. • Reuben (voiced by Paul Reubens): A pig who is a conman and steals from others. He was Mung's “Inspector”when he needed to renew his cooking license but he just used that to fail Mung and Endive. He later made the group, minus Truffles, use his boat for their fishing trip but just spent the trip annoying Mung and keeping the other engers on board so he can get more money out of them. At the end of the episode, it turned out that the ship was stolen and Reuben abandoned ship when the real owners came and left the group to be arrested.

Development
119 Cartoon Network's VOD website also within the United States.* [16]* [19] One of the unusual design features of the show is the patterns used on the clothing or players. The patterns are developed as a full-screen image and then sent to the production house, where the characters are modified to fill the patterns in over the character clothing.* [14]* [16]* [20] Using this technique, when a character moves, their patterns do not follow, but display as a “static”background. A similar technique was used in the Monkey Island video game series (particularly for the Stan), the Nickelodeon series The Off-Beats, and the Mr. Bean animated series.* [17] The show is also known for the very wide variety of media used in various episodes. These include animation using watercolors and ink-and-paint in addition to the cartoon's classic pattern style. It also uses stop motion animation with real food, action figures and clay; live-action scenes with the voice actors of the show and puppets; both marionette and hand-controlled. This was also sometimes used in Courage the Cowardly Dog. It boasts one of the most diverse varieties of mediums used in any single series.
3.7.5 Cancellation The puppet versions of the characters Chowder (a Hand-Rod puppet) and Mung Daal
During his time working on Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants, Greenblatt had been sketching various characters for his own animation series concept.* [14] Greenblatt originally based the premise on the idea of the sorcerer's apprentice style of story, such as The Sword in the Stone. The plot devices were modified so that the story revolves around a master chef who teaches his young apprentice how to cook. Chowder himself was developed with no specific species in mind, but rather with the intentions of invoking the image of a child's soft squeeze toy.* [16] Some of the inspiration comes from Dr. Seuss, with other inspiration from Saturday morning cartoons.* [16]* [17] Greenblatt pitched the concept to Cartoon Network, and two years later the series was approved with another year for production before the pilot episode aired. Greenblatt estimates he spent about seven years working on Chowder before the show made it to air in 2007.* [14]
3.7.4
Production and format
Episodes are produced in seasons which consist of twenty 24-minute episodes. Each episode is produced with a 30-second puppet sequence that is meant to run over the ending credits.* [18] Episodes can be purchased from the iTunes Store in the United States which are delivered with the sequences as are episodes which are available on
Chowder was cancelled by Cartoon Network in August 2010. C.H. Greenblatt noted this on his blog, saying: “I didn't really think there'd be this many upsides to having a show officially cancelled by a network, but I'm feeling happier than I've been in a long time. Since we've only got post-production, my schedule finally eases up. I haven't had a break like this in a long, long time... Chowder has opened up a lot of awesome possibilities for me, and creatively I'm feeling more inspired than ever.”* [21] C.H. Greenblatt also noted that many of the staff signed on to a new project at Disney. This is a reference to the Disney Channel animated series Fish Hooks, which Greenblatt himself also works on as an episode director.
3.7.6 Reception Some of the reviews were positive,* [22]* [23]* [24] two raising questions as to whether Chowder can entertain with its occasional bathroom style humor,* [25] or sometimes recycled material.* [26] Barry Garron of The Hollywood Reporter thinks that the show will appeal to both children and adults alike, using exotic artwork, unusual settings, and a zany cast of characters.* [22] On Toon Zone, Ed Liu expands on the animation and crazy antics of the characters, pointing that the humor of the show is kid-friendly without being juvenile. Liu reminds his readers that Chowder is still in its early phases, and with just a little more time to develop, he feels that the show will be successful.* [23]

It first premiered on Cartoon Network on August 13, 2004, at 7:30 pm E/P as a 90-minute television movie, which led to a series of half-hour episodes.

3.9.1
Overview
The series is set in a world where childhood imaginary friends coexist with humans and is set in an orphanage designed for outgrown or abandoned imaginary friends in which they may reside until adoption by another child. In the Foster's universe, imaginary friends take physical form and become real as soon as children think them up. Once the children outgrow them, the friends move to Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, where they stay until other children come to adopt them. The home is run by the elderly Madame Foster, its lovable, elderly founder; her imaginary friend Mr. Herriman, the strict rule-abider and business manager; and her granddaughter Frankie, who handles day-to-day operations. After being forced to abandon his imaginary friend Bloo, a young boy named Mac bargains with the caretakers and employees working at Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends; that they guard Bloo from adoption so long as
Main characters • Mac (voiced by Sean Marquette) – A bright, creative, happy-go-lucky, sensitive and somewhat shy 8-year-old boy and Bloo's creator and best friend who visits Foster's every day. Mac is often the voice of reason among his friends (especially Bloo) when they're making decisions. However, his good nature tends to make him somewhat naive. He is very attached to Bloo and it is shown in episodes such as “House of Bloos”and“Duchess of Wails”that his biggest fear is never seeing him again because Bloo is what keeps him happy and cheerful and vice versa. Mac becomes extremely high and hyperactive to the point of a rabid mania when he eats sugar. Once in this state, he will become impossible to control, will often become obsessed with seeking any other source of sugar, and if he gets hyperactive enough, will run around naked or in his underwear. He also has a huge crush on Frankie. Mac and Bloo are the two main protagonists of the series. • Bloo (voiced by Keith Ferguson) – Mac's 5-yearold imaginary friend and best friend who resembles a simple, domed cylinder. Bloo is often very selfcentered, egotistic, narcissistic and occasionally sociopathic as well as having a knack for getting in trouble. Despite all this, he still has a good heart and apologizes for his actions. Bloo loves paddleballs even though he cannot make the ball hit the paddle (though the only time he was able to do it was in the episode “Let Your Hare Down”). His full name is “Blooregard Q. Kazoo”. He became increasingly mischievous over the run of the series and can be a show-off. He is the only character to appear in every episode of the series. Note: Bloo was mentioned by Eric Cartman in the South Park trilogy episode "Imagination Land" as well as making a cameo appearience briefly. Mac and Bloo also made a cameo appearance in The Powerpuff Girls Series Finale: “The Powerpuff Girls Rule!" • Wilt (voiced by Phil LaMarr) – A very tall, friendly, caring, kind, helpful, red-colored disabled friend with only a right arm, and crooked left eye-stalk (which he describes as “wonky”). However, in “Good Wilt Hunting”, it is discovered that he was not always this way; he was injured in a fateful accident during a basketball game, leaving his left arm crushed (and fell off sometime before or after he got
3.9. FOSTER'S HOME FOR IMAGINARY FRIENDS to Foster's) and his eye injured. Wilt exhibits consummate good sportsmanship, which he applies to every part of life he can. He is considered the nicest person at Foster's and is known for being excessively polite and apologetic, saying“I'm sorry”in almost every sentence. Wilt has a big heart, is frequently cool and collected, and, only on very rare occasions shows anger at all. His name is an homage to NBA star Wilt Chamberlain. Wilt was shown to be created by Jordan Michaels, a basketball star (and a homage to Michael Jordan). His over-sized basketball shoes always squeak against the floor/ground, no matter what surface he is walking on. According to the episode “Room with a Feud”, between him, Coco and Eduardo, he has been in the house for the longest time. • Eduardo (voiced by Tom Kenny) – A Spanish/Latino guardian friend. Eduardo is big, hairy and violet-purple, has horns, a snout, a pointy demonlike tail and large teeth. Despite his large size, overwhelming strength, and menacing demeanor, Eduardo is docile, timid, lacks confidence and is very comionate who has a toddler-like nature, crying at minor negative occurrences, and being scared of almost everything. However, he can be ferocious if angered or in the circumstance that danger befalls his friends. Eduardo has a fondness for potatoes, dogs, and his cuddly toys. His creator, Nina Valerosa, is now a police officer. • Coco (voiced by Candi Milo) – A bird-airplanepalm tree friend who can only say (or write) her name at various speeds and different emphases. A talent unique to her is her ability to lay colorful, plastic eggs containing a plethora of objects from customized baseball cards to money, at will. Mac, Bloo, Eduardo, Frankie, Wilt, and others usually understand her when she speaks, and often translate for her (though Wilt once itted that he has no idea what she attempts to convey). Despite her helter-skelter appearance and quirky behavior, she can demonstrate a perceived intelligence, principle and kindness. No one knows who her creator is as she was found on a South Pacific island by two scientists named Adam and Douglas, in reference to the late writer, Douglas Adams. • Frankie (voiced by Grey DeLisle) – Madame Foster's 22-year-old redheaded granddaughter and Mac's romantic interest, addressed as “Miss s”by Mr. Herriman. Her parents are never seen or mentioned in the series. Frankie is the caregiver at Foster's and helps keep everything in order. In spite of Mr. Herriman's fussiness and fixation with rules and cleanliness, having to take care of everyone and everything in the house, and Bloo's mischief-making (all of which cause her tremendous stress and a bad temper), she is usually very friendly,
123 out-going and easy-going. According to her driver's license in “Bus the Two of Us”, she was born on July 25, 1984. She once made a cameo appearance in the The Powerpuff Girls Series Finale:“The Powerpuff Girls Rule!".
• Mr. Herriman (voiced by Tom Kane) – A gray and white elderly anthropomorphic lop ear rabbit friend imagined by Madame Foster who speaks with a British accent. He wears a tailcoat, white gloves and a top hat, as well as a monocle over his left eye (though it is sometimes seen over his right eye). He is in charge of the house (the “President”of Foster's) and is extremely strict about the house rules (or just politeness and order in general), but he is also seen to put the rules before common sense, as seen in "Destination: Imagination" when he sticks to the rule written on the chained up toy box of never letting the imaginary friend who is trapped in there out despite what would happen to him if he didn't. He is often found punishing Bloo for his various misdemeanors. It was revealed in “Busted”that the reason Mr. Herriman is so hard on Bloo is because he feels that, given that he is allowed to stay at Foster's even though he still has an owner, he has already broken one of the main house rules. He is extremely fond of his creator Madame Foster, harboring great respect and loyalty to her, even at her most prominent levels of unabashed pep and energy. Mr. Herriman may be considered unruly Madame Foster's superego. On the other hand, Herriman has a love/hate relationship with Frankie, usually working with her to preserve order at Foster's, yet just as often scolding her for what he perceives (often inaccurately) as“laziness”and“immaturity”from her part (usually stemming from the fact that the amount of work she has to do is too much for her to get all of it done in certain time frames). However, at the end of the 90-minute special “Destination: Imagination”, Herriman its that he was wrong and finally comes to respect and appreciate Frankie. He also has fear of dogs (due to the fact that dogs are natural predators of rabbits) and is easily scared out of his wits whenever he comes across a dog as shown in the episodes“Who Let the Dogs In?", and“Setting a President”.
• Madame Foster (voiced by Candi Milo) – The founder of Foster's and the maternal grandmother of Frankie. Madame Foster is elderly but has childlike boundless energy and enjoys life to its fullest. Her imaginary friend is Mr. Herriman, whom she imagined when she was a child and never gave up. Like Bloo, Madame Foster occasionally becomes hyperactive and mischievous. However, there are times she's shown to be the wisdom of the house.

Plot
Five years prior to the series, a massive explosion released high concentrations of nanites into the atmosphere, infecting almost every living thing on Earth. These nanites may randomly activate inside their hosts, mutating the subject into a monster known as an E.V.O. (short for "Exponentially Variegated Organism”). Though some E.V.O.s retain human-level sanity, intelligence, and memory and are in full control of their special E.V.O. abilities: most go violently berserk and cause widespread chaos and destruction. An international organization known as Providence exists to combat the E.V.O. threat.

3.11 The Life and Times of Juniper Lee The Life and Times of Juniper Lee is an American animated television series, created by former MTV reality star Judd Winick and produced by Cartoon Network Studios. It premiered on Cartoon Network on May 30, 2005, and ended its run on April 9, 2007. The show has reruns but only on Cartoon Network Asia.
3.11.1
Premise
The series centers on the life of a preteen girl, named Juniper Lee, who lives in Orchid Bay City. Based on Winick's adopted hometown of San Francisco, California, the city is a hub for magical activity and is filled with various monsters and demons, both good and evil. The magic and human worlds have been separated by a magical barrier, known as“The Veil,”which prevents ordinary humans from seeing any magic-related events or the creatures related to them. Juniper has recently been made the new Te Xuan Ze, the protector and the keeper of the balance between the human and magic worlds. To accomplish her task, she has been magically enhanced, making her far stronger and faster than ordinary humans. She can also use various kinds of magic to assist her. Maintaining the balance often interferes with her personal life, including her schoolwork and her social life, but she always manages to keep everything flowing. The show has a fairly campy and lighthearted take on the genre, often makes fun of itself, and rarely seems to take itself seriously.

3.11.3 Main characters Juniper “June”Lee Juniper Lee (voiced by Lara Jill Miller) is the main character of the series. This eleven-year-old ChineseAmerican short tempered girl lives in Orchid Bay City, and is the current Te Xuan Ze. Juniper is relatively uneducated in the world of magic, mostly relying on brute force, a real talent for insults, and the advice of her grandmother, Ah-Mah, and her enchanted dog, Monroe, to defeat her foes. She has long black hair, and after she inherits the powers of the Te Xuan Ze, a lock of hair on the left side changes to pure white from root to end (Juniper's grandmother Jasmine, the former Te Xuan Ze, has the same stripe in her hair) and Juniper later dyes this reddish-pink. The juniper flower symbolizes protection, referring to Juniper's role as the Te Xuan Ze, protecting others. She wishes to go to astronaut camp, but cannot because she can't leave Orchid Bay City while she is the Te Xuan Ze until another member of her family is chosen. She's also hoping for a breathtaking romance with her close friend Marcus Conner. Jasmine Lee
Jasmine Lee, or “Ah-Mah”(Chinese: 阿嬤; pinyin: Āmā; literally: “grandma”, voiced by Amy Hill) as Juniper calls her, is Juniper's grandmother, and the previous Te Xuan Ze. Many in the magical world consider her to be the greatest Te Xuan Ze ever. Calm and deliberate in most respects but crude and tough when she needs to be, the 69-year-old gives June advice on dealing with the magical community and their expectations of her, and assists her when she is in serious trouble. As of the “Monster Con”episode, Ah-Mah was shown to 3.11.2 Inspiration still possess a significant amount of magically-enhanced speed and strength, though her stamina and durability are Winick has stated that Juniper Lee was inspired by both severely diminished (in comparison to her granddaughThe Simpsons and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Juniper does ter who has superhuman strength) to the point of being follow in the footsteps of Buffy, as stated in the quote unable to stand unassisted after two to three minutes of below: combat (this is because of her old age). This s her assertion in the first episode - that it was no longer her Interviewer: We’ve touched on just about place to act as Te Xuan Ze - and is pragmatic, in the sense everything else, so hit us with the high concept. that it prevents June from shirking her responsibilities. In Sum up the show for us…Judd: I’m sound“Little Big Mah”, she claims that she knows about 26 difing like a broken record, but it's kind of like ferent styles of hand-to-hand combat, and that she hasn't

Younger Jasmine is depicted with a purple streak in her hair, instead of the usual magenta Te Xuan Ze streak. Ray Ray Lee Ray Ray Lee (voiced by Kath Soucie) is Juniper's hyperactive eight-year-old dimwitted brother. Like Juniper, Ray Ray can see through the magic barrier, though this is not a naturally-occurring ability. In the episodes after “Star Quality”, he is occasionally seen watching monster TV. When Juniper first gained her powers, a group of demons attempted to drain her powers. Ray Ray unwittingly intervened, causing some of her powers to transfer to him, as seen in“Adventures in Babysitting”. Whether or not he'll gain other powers similar to hers remains to be seen, as Ah-Mah has implied that he may over time. He is hyperactive and careless, has crazy hair, and often gets himself into trouble when dealing with the magic world. Ray Ray is often over-eager in regards to the magic world, finding every single event involving it, no matter how bad or ominous, to be “cooool.”A recurring joke about him is that asks if he has ever run out of energy, where someone would say, “but there's always a first time.”He also has a sibling rivalry relationship with Juniper, although it is often seen that he cares for her deeply. Since episode “Feets too big”, he has a crush on Lila, the Sasquatch. In the episodes after “O Brother, What Art Thou?", Ray Ray is a homunculus, his mind having been transferred to an artificial body after accidentally mutating his original body into a massive dinosaur by ingesting the growth potion that was supposed to make a giant grow back to his proper size. In “Meet the Parent”, Monroe states that Ray Ray has a bladder control problem, though this has never been confirmed, save in“The World According to LARP”when Juniper said that he wet his pants on the jungle gym once, and again in “Dream Date”where he has trouble making it to the bathroom after drinking punch. Since he is very young still, it is probable he will outgrow these tendencies. In“Te Xuan Me”, where after Juniper was erased from knowledge he took up being the Te Xuan Ze, and being particularly skilled at his position, even earning Monroe's praise. However, after everything was set back to normal, Ray Ray started to study in magic spells as a way to help his sister in future battles.
CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES his lack of grasping hands or opposable thumbs (according to Ray Ray, he uses this as an excuse for everything). Monroe has been magically enhanced, allowing him to be understood by those who can see through the magic barrier. Anyone else listening to him will only hear barking. He is also lactose intolerant. Dennis Lee Dennis Lee (voiced by Alexander Polinsky) is Juniper's grumpy, cynical older brother who does not take June or Ray Ray seriously and usually calls them names. He loves manga and video games and does not like anyone touching his stuff. In “Not in my Backyard”, it is revealed that Dennis never gives June a turn in his video games (he says if monkeys fly out of his butt, she will have a turn, which will never happen). Also, when he saw that Ray-Ray got one of his comics books, he didn't like it at all. In “The World According to L.A.R.P.”, he's been known to take stuff out of June's room, which annoys her. In“Sealed With a Fist”, Dennis has grown to trust June after they work together with Boomfist and the heroic team of H.A.T.E. (Heroes Against Terrible Evildoers) to defeat the villainous team of L.O.V.E. (League of Villainous Evildoers). Jody Irwin Jody Irwin (voiced by Colleen O'Shaughnessey) is Juniper's best friend and usually the happiest of the group. She tries her best to cheer the group, even in the most ridiculous of ways. June tries her best not to disappoint Jody, but being Te Xuan Ze, she ends up doing so but Jody forgives her. She is the only Caucasian member of the group. Ophelia Ramírez Ophelia Ramírez (voiced by Candi Milo) is one of Juniper's friends. She is a gothic, grouchy girl with pinkishpurple colored hair and Hispanic descendancy. She doesn't like a lot of stuff and especially hates Roger (in fact, at some nights, Ophelia has nightmares that she's dating Roger). When she is in charge, she wants everything done perfectly and usually has Roger doing something ridiculous.

3.12.3 Setting 3.12.1
Overview
The series revolves around Flapjack and Captain K'nuckles. Flapjack is a young boy raised by a talking whale named Bubbie. Flapjack leads a peaceful life until the duo rescues a pirate by the name of Captain K'nuckles, who tells Flapjack of a place called Candied Island, which is made completely of candy. Inspired by the adventurous pirate, Flapjack, Captain K'nuckles and Bubbie get into strange predicaments and “misadventures”in search of candy, Candied Island and the coveted title of “Adventurer”. The three spend most of their time in Stormalong Harbor, their place of residence, and home to many strange characters.
Most characters live in the fictional city of Stormalong Harbor. The city is built on a series of docks in the middle of the ocean with no surrounding land. It is possible to actually swim underneath the city, which is often done by Bubbie. However, Stormalong has a sewer system and a series of underground tunnels. Most inhabitants are sailors of some sort, and sailors and/or pirates are constantly visiting from other lands. Stormalong has a great variety of (often bizarre) shops, including a bar that serves candy instead of alcohol (The Candy Barrel). The wealthier citizens live on more elevated piers, while the lower class lives lower in the city. The city appears to be relatively dystopian, with a large level of crime and loitering, with the only forms of law enforcement being

Main characters
The lead characters, Captain K'nuckles and Flapjack
of taking advantage of Flapjack for his own needs, he is actually fond of him and will often attempt to get him out of trouble when a scheme of theirs goes too far. He also defends Flapjack when others try to deceive him, something that he does on a regular basis. Most of his body is composed of wood: his hands are wooden, his legs are pegs and his behind (his “sittin' muscle”, as he calls it) is a wooden board. He is also made of parts stolen by other pirates. Because of his artificial body, he makes mechanical noises when he moves. K'nuckles spends most of the adventures with Flapjack trying to find Candied Island. Flapjack often has to defend him when he is in trouble. During the ending of the final episode, Thurop Van Orman portrays live-action K'nuckles. • Bubbie (voiced by Roz Ryan) - An anthropomorphic whale, she is Flapjack's devoted, adoptive single mother. Bubbie serves as the primary home and transport of both Flapjack and K'nuckles. She frequently disapproves of Flapjack's desire for adventure, but will always be won over. As told in “Oh Brother”, she found Flapjack at sea in a bed of seaweed. Bubbie and K'nuckles frequently disapprove of each other's actions, especially concerning 'adventure'. She believes K'nuckles to be irresponsible, lazy, and a bad influence on Flapjack. However, Bubbie is classified as a hypocrite by K'nuckles because of how she has a consistency of being irresponsible and rule-breaking herself. It is revealed in “100 Per Census”that Bubbie's last name is the same as her first name. Flapjack lives in her mouth.
• Flapjack (voiced by Thurop Van Orman) - A boy who was found and raised by Bubbie, a talking whale. Flapjack is very naive and oblivious to danger,* [3] thus he is easily caught up in perilous situations. He holds K'nuckles in extremely high regard, with his affection for the captain sometimes bordering on obsession. His catchphrase is “Adventure!" (said whenever excited). He is voiced by series creator Thurop Van Orman. During the ending of the final episode, Thurop's son Leif plays the role of Flapjack. Flapjack's original voice actor was meant to be Paul Reubens, but Reubens never showed up Secondary characters to any recording sessions. • Peppermint Larry (voiced by Jeff Bennett) - The • Captain K'nuckles (voiced by Brian Doyle Murowner and manager of The Candy Barrel, the only place in Stormalong where adventurers can get ray) - A washed-up and childish old sailor who candy (besides the Candy Trough, only seen in one claims to be the greatest adventurer the world has ever known. Nowadays, he prefers to nap and drink episode). Peppermint Larry is shown as a genermaple syrup, while telling outrageous tales of past ally nice person, but can also be hasty and selfish adventures and getting Flapjack wrapped up in his at times. Peppermint Larry is lonely and unsocial, high seas hi-jinks. In reality, his stories are either so he made a woman of candy named Candy Wife. completely false, or nowhere near as adventurous or He loves Candy Wife as if she were real, while most amazing as he leads Flapjack to believe. He may not other residents of Stormalong“played along”to hube an entirely incompetent adventurer however, as mor him; until the episode “Just One Kiss,”the he was able to steal the Mermaid Queen's heart and show was deliberately vague as to whether or not successfully escape her guards in “Gone Wishin'". she was actually “alive”or a delusion in Larry's He is a candy addict; he will do whatever it takes to mind.

THE MARVELOUS MISADVENTURES OF FLAPJACK to be called “Mr. Larry.”Larry has a bit of a grudge against K'nuckles, partially because of how K'nuckles is constantly bringing Flapjack in to the Candy Barrel without any money, but mostly because of K'nuckles' love interest in Candy Wife, which is revealed in “Love Bugs.”

The sweethearts turned out to be Blood Gnats, which Doctor Barber reveals to the entire Candy Barrel. When Flapjack realizes he is not in love with her, Sally sadly asks,“You, you don't love me?" even though she had displayed disgust at the prospect earlier. As she departs, Flapjack is seen taking off his scarf and waving it at the ship, shouting,“Farewell, Sally Syrup! I don't love you!" Sally answers, waving her own handkerchief at him, “I don't love you too!" Flapjack then sighs dreamily, indicating that, despite everything, he might love Sally Syrup. By the end of the episode she drifted away to Blood Island for more shells and to get rid of the Blood Gnats. Then in The Return of Sally Syrup, we found out that Sally Syrup's dad is The Professor and niece of The Inventor and she thought Stormalong Harbor was boring until Flapjack tried to show her how fun it could be there. When she had to leave she said she actually did have fun. She and Flapjack shared a moment before she had to leave, when she was in the air and flying away she said, “The best part about today was spending it with you”(speaking to Flapjack). When he asked, “Really?" she answered, “Just kidding dummy!" but she could've just been faking it to keep up her reputation. Flapjack then said “There goes my heart.”
• Doctor Barber (voiced by Steve Little) - The current doctor and barber of Stormalong. He is not only a doctor and a barber, but also a certified candyologist. Like many characters in the show, Doctor Barber has an odd, unsettling demeanor. His driving ambition is to perform surgery on and give hair cuts to as many people as possible. It is unclear whether his drive to perform surgery is motivated by his desire to help his patients or is caused by a terribly sadistic nature. His obsession with surgery leads him to always advise the simplest medical problems be addressed with a surgical procedure (much to the denizens chagrin). In an early episode, it is revealed that he feeds the leftover hair from his clients to an odd monster that lives under his barber shop. He seems to have a very secretive lifestyle that is far outside of what Flapjack and K'nuckles know. Doctor Barber sometimes gets shipments in from Candied Island. Flapjack sometimes helps Doctor Barber with his insane shenanigans, often without understanding what Doctor Barber is really up to. Doctor Barber appears to live with his mother, though she resides in a dresser drawer and may simply be a voice Barber hears in his head a la Norman Bates Villains in the film Psycho.

He invented the camera, but it is also powered by kids (having one of the kids draw whatever he saw).

3.13 Megas XLR Megas XLR is an American animated action comedy television series created by Jody Schaeffer and George Krstic for Cartoon Network. The series revolves around two slackers: mechanic Coop and his best friend Jamie, who find a mecha robot from the future called Megas (Mechanized Earth Guard Attack System) in a New Jersey junkyard. Coop modifies Megas and replaces his head, the control center, with a classic muscle car, and names him XLR (eXtra Large Robot). Together with Megas's original pilot Kiva, they must defend Earth from the evil alien race called “the Glorft”. The series is an homage and parody of mecha animation. Schaeffer and Krstic conceived the idea of an animated series where the main character would pilot a giant robot utilizing his video gaming skills. The pilot episode, LowBrow, was shown in 2002 during Cartoon Network's Cartoon Cartoon Weekend Summerfest, to determine which pilot would become a new Cartoon Cartoon; it was the most popular among viewers. It aired on the Toonami block from May 1, 2004 to January 15, 2005 for two seasons (totaling 26 episodes), before being cancelled due to low ratings.
Before the plan can be executed, however, an attack by the Glorft forces the human resistance to send MEGAS back in time before proper preparations are made, but the time drive is accidentally damaged in the attack and, as a result, sends the now-crippled MEGAS (its head was blown off in the attack) all the way back to the 1930s. MEGAS languishes in a New Jersey junkyard until it ends up in the hands of a mechanic, Coop (David DeLuise), and his slacker best friend, Jamie (Steve Blum), around the year 2004. Coop turns MEGAS into a hot rod project by repainting it with a flaming paint job, replacing its head with a classic muscle car (resembling a car from the '70s MOPAR family; most likely a Plymouth Barracuda) and naming it XLR (eXtra Large Robot). Kiva goes back in time to retrieve MEGAS, and when she finds she is unable to pilot it because of Coop's modifications, she grudgingly decides to train Coop, who is now the only person who can pilot it. However, the Glorft have followed her through time and, much to Kiva's chagrin, it is now up to the three of them to defend Earth from the Glorft and various other threats.

3.14.1 Overview A boy named Adam is expelled to a middle school established for anthropomorphic zoo animals due to a spelling error making his surname “Lion”. There, he is befriended by a mischievous, eccentric spider monkey named Jake, hence the title of the series, along with a sassy toucan named Lupe, a giraffe named Ingrid, who is

In spite of his usual kindness and fondness for his friends, Adam despises being banished to Charles Darwin Middle School because of something beyond his control and longs for his previous humanized middle school. Usually, the episodes are focused on Adam's experiences at Charles Darwin Middle School due to his inability to fit in with his anthropomorphic schoolmates, the challenges that he must face (such as the presumed stupidity of his peers, being schooled in subjects of use only to animals, the introductions of new students of odd, dangerous, or fictional species to the school or the misadventures that Adam stumbles into with them, or the common affects of adolescence as they are experienced by zoo animals).

Characters
Adam (left) and Jake (right)
• Adam Lyon (voiced by Nika Futterman) is a 12year-old human boy who was transferred from Chester Arthur Middle School to Charles Darwin Middle School (CDMS) by an accidental misspelling of his last name from “Lyon”to “Lion” . As the series title suggests, in gym class, Adam was paired up with Jake Spidermonkey and the two become best friends. Jake's plans have them getting involved in situations which end up with him and Adam in trouble. Adam, being physically weak, is often preyed upon by the other animal students. His personality is downtrodden, due to being in an animal school and he also has a reputation of complaining about his daily experiences at the school. Adam can be arrogant and strong-willed at times. Outside of school, he is often seen with a human girl named Kerry, with whom he has a secret crush. His efforts to impress her end up with Adam's embarrassment. Towards the middle of the series, Adam seems to be on the borderline of sanity. Throughout the series, he has shown an extreme interest in clowns; for instance, his favorite super hero is Captain Clowny, despite the time he didn't get a Captain Clowny action figure for his birthday after makinga wish on
137 a star that he would. he eagerly hopes to attend a clown-based summer day-camp and his college of choice is Clown College, as seen on his resume in the episode “My Feral Lyon”. • Jacob P. “Jake”Spidermonkey (voiced by Tom Kenny), as his last name implies, is a spider monkey who quickly became Adam's best friend. He is often very possessive of Adam and hates not having him around regularly. Jake is emotional and goofy, who takes to heart some of Adam's comments and actions, leading to some overly-dramatic and exaggerated reactions. He can be lazy and selfish, but at the same time, he is also fairly sensible. A running gag in the series is his obsession with the wellbeing of his butt, which he made grow so large that it blocked out the sun in one episode. Along with the majority of the other animal students, Jake lives close enough to the school that he can see it from where he lives. Jake is often depicted as unintelligent. Jake has an older brother who looks like a taller, more stretched-out version of Jake. • Windsor Gorilla (voiced by Rick Gomez) is a highly intelligent Western lowland gorilla, who serves as the anti-bully at the school and often gives confusing wisdom to people. He speaks in a soft-spoken and nearly monotonous manner, often stringing together technical words as a matter of his normal speech. When he talks, only the side of his mouth closest to the camera moves and the rest of his mouth remains closed. He is usually seen with Slips and is generally shown to be the leader of the two. Windsor tends to relate with Adam's troubles better than the rest of the school, having a good grasp of both human and animal worlds, although he occasionally gives in to his animal instincts as well. Windsor has an older brother in high school who plays for his school's football team. • Slips Python (voiced by Rick Gomez) is an easygoing, street-talking green tree python. He is an underachiever and excessive daydreamer whose gullibility allows him to believe anything he hears, which makes him a constant source of misinformation. As a snake, he has no limbs, yet wears a T-shirt (why is never explained). Slips has an older sister in high school who, despite being a girl, looks like an older version of Slips with a deep voice. He is usually seen with his best friend Windsor. • Guadalupe “Lupe”Toucan (voiced by Grey DeLisle) is a female Keel-billed toucan, who is loud-mouthed, acerbic, dominating and materialistic, although she considers herself to be mild-tempered and low maintenance. Her best friend is Ingrid, who she dominates more than anyone else. Lupe loves popular culture, such as celebrities and fashion, though not being fond of clumsy toucan celebrity Kiki BonBeaky (despite

CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES this, she said later on that she was one of Kiki's biggest fans). She does not like milk.* [1] She speaks with a somewhat exaggerated, but fake, Chicano dialect and is known to have some issues involving what she sees as her overly large beak. Lupe has an elder sister who is in high school. She has a boyfriend named Corey Vulture, who is seen in the episode “Lupe in Love”.
suck up the water with a loud noise. Bull has a big sister, Euripedes, who graduated CDMS prior to the beginning of the show and left a lasting impression in the school, a fact that has caused Bull to develop an inferiority complex at the mere mention of her name (despite the fact she is not only half Bull's size, but bullies via feminine taunts instead of physical abuse).
• Ingrid Giraffe (voiced by Grey DeLisle) is a female Masai giraffe and the tallest student in CDMS. Her towering height only adds to her feelings of insecurity, as she tries desperately to blend into the background. She is often seen with her neck going up then heading down on the screen in an exaggerated hunch, since it is very long and is often seen from the neck down. Lupe, Ingrid's best friend, often hushes her when she gives advice and basically runs the whole “friendship”. Ingrid has a crush on Adam Lyon, of which he is mostly unaware, or is actively frightened by her advances. She is also considered to be the weakest in the group.
• Henry Armadillo (voiced by Tom Kenny) is an armadillo who speaks in a thick southern drawl.
• Principal Poncherello Pegone Pixiefrog (voiced by Maurice LaMarche), as his last name implies, is a Pixie Frog and the CDMS principal. As a strict, but fair, , he runs a tight ship, which is somewhat remarkable, considering he could easily be squashed underfoot by most of his students and the rest of the faculty; for instance, when he was forced to watch the cheerleading practice, he ended up being crushed under LaTanya Hippo's foot with the weight of the entire team. Principal Pixiefrog always dodges lawsuits, is terrified of lawyers and is scared when anyone in the school could get sued (he is shown to have Liticaphobia). He talks similarly to Windsor, only moving part of his mouth, but his voice is much louder. Adam always asks him if anything bothers him, this frog principal will always help him to see. It is also revealed that Principal Pixiefrog has a mother, who bothers him.* [2] • Mrs. Geraldine Sharon Warthog (voiced by Grey DeLisle) is Principal Pixiefrog's assistant; she does all of the filing and is a warthog. Ironically, she never works. Completely fed up with her job and her employer, she always has an air of complete exasperation about her. Her voice is identical to that of Nurse Gazelle. • Virgil “Bull”Sharkowski (voiced by Phil LaMarr) is a bull shark who enjoys beating up smaller kids and stealing their lunches. His intimidating presence, however, is offset by a high-pitched, squeaky voice that sometimes lessens the impact of his verbal threats. Despite being a bully, he also has a soft humane side that he does not usually realize he is revealing. Due to Bull being a water creature, he wears water-filled headphones over his gills to help him breathe; when he talks, he will stop as his gills
• Coach Tiffany Gills (voiced by Brian DoyleMurray) is a female goldfish. Coach Gills is the school's tiny, deep-voiced PE and health teacher who instructs her students from inside her fishbowl. She often pesters Adam when he does not perform as well as his fellow students. In “Le Switcheroo” , she and Adam trade roles for a day. After experiencing some trouble, they later reconciled. She has mentioned several times in the series that she has no friends. She once had a crush on Mr. Cheetah, an athletic individual who plans to succeed her and Principal Pixiefrog in their careers. Ironically, though she is a fish, she apparently cannot swim. • Miss Chameleon (voiced by Nika Futterman) is a female chameleon who is the drama instructor and art teacher. As expected from a drama teacher, she is a drama queen, who speaks overly melodramatically and will often have stereotypical horror music playing when on-scene. She can blend into her surroundings and turn invisible, although in reality, that is a popular misconception about chameleons. She holds class while perched on a twig located under a warming lamp. • Dickie Sugarjumper (voiced by Tom Kenny) is an Australian-American sugar glider. He made a successful career as a writer for the school's greatest class clowns. His catch phrase is “Hello! How's your tros?" • Endugu Elephant (voiced by Phil LaMarr) is a Jamaican-American African elephant. • Kerry (voiced by Cree Summer) An AfricanAmerican girl attending Chester Arthur Middle School who Adam has a secret crush on.

Reception
My Gym Partner's a Monkey was a ratings success for Cartoon Network. On the series' Cartoon Network“Fridays”block two-episode premiere at 9:00 and 9:30 P.M. EST, the first episode was seen by 1.2 million and the second by 1.3 million children ages 2–11, according to preliminary data from Nielsen Media Research.* [4] The 9:30 P.M. telecast ranked as the #1 telecast on all television, broadcast and cable, with both boys 6–11 and boys 2–11 in the time period.* [4] The series went on top the Fridays block ratings, gaining millions of viewers.* [8] My Gym Partner's a Monkey received generally positive reviews from critics. William Barker of Web Wombat gave the King of the Jungle DVD a positive review, awarding it with a score of 70%, saying: “With an original – dare I say unique? – premise, My Gym Partner's a Monkey makes for a somewhat refreshing change from super heroes and mutants, and the cut-out animation style is captivating, though far from novel. It's not the most impressive cartoon show I've ever seen, but it's quite cute and fairly amusing – even for the older primates among us.”* [9] Larisa Wiseman of Common Sense Media awarded the series three out of five stars, saying:“It's difficult to tell what age group the show's producers were aiming at – the animation style and slapstick by themselves would seem to appeal mainly to grade-schoolers, while the jokes and life lessons are definitely aimed at the tween set. The sly humor may even give some adults the occasional laugh-out-loud moment. Overall, My Gym Partner's a Monkey is commendable for its effort to include a subtle message in each episode. Younger viewers will probably find Jake's sometimes-annoying goofiness amusing, and will definitely find the story lines entertaining.”* [10]

3.15 Regular Show Regular Show is an American animated television series created by J. G. Quintel for Cartoon Network that premiered on September 6, 2010. The series revolves around the lives of two friends, a blue jay named Mordecai and a raccoon named Rigby—both employed as groundskeepers at a local park. Their regular attempts to slack off usually lead to surreal, extreme, and often supernatural misadventures. During these misadventures, they interact with the show's other main characters: Benson, Pops, Muscle Man, Hi-Five Ghost, Skips, Thomas, Margaret, Eileen, and CJ.* [1] Many of Regulars Show 's characters are loosely based on those developed for Quintel's student films at California Institute of the Arts: The Naive Man from Lolliland and 2 in the AM PM.* [2] Quintel pitched Regular Show for Cartoon Network's Cartoonstitute project, in which the network allowed young artists to create pilots with no notes, which would possibly be optioned as shows. The project was green-lit and it premiered on September 6, 2010.
The series revolves around the daily lives of two 23year-old friends, Mordecai—a blue jay, and Rigby—a raccoon. They work as groundskeepers at a park and spend their days trying to avoid work and entertain themselves by any means.* [3] This is much to the chagrin of their manager/boss Benson—a gumball machine and their coworker Skips—a yeti, but to the delight of their (other) manager/boss Pops—a man with a lollipop for a head. Other coworkers include an overweight green man called Muscle Man, and a ghost called Hi-Five Ghost.* [4]
3.15.2 Creation
Since its premiere Regular Show has been a ratings success for Cartoon Network. As of May 2013, the program has been watched by approximately 2 to 2.5 million viewers each week. The series has received positive reviews from critics and has developed a following of teenagers and adults. Regular Show has been nominated for several awards, including two Annie Awards and four Primetime Emmy Awards—one of which it won for the episode “Eggscellent”(season 3, episode 17).
3.15.1
Premise
Main article: List of Regular Show characters
J. G. Quintel, creator of the show and voice of Mordecai, based the show on his student films produced at CalArts.
Regular Show largely grew out of creator J. G. Quintel's life and experiences in college. Quintel attended the Cali-
3.15. REGULAR SHOW fornia Institute of the Arts, and many of the characters on Regular Show are based on the characters developed for his student films The Naïve Man from Lolliland (2005) and 2 in the AM PM (2006). Both originated as part of a game called“48-hour films”, in which students put words into a hat, pulled out one word at midnight and spent a weekend developing ideas for a film. Quintel attended college with Thurop Van Orman and Pendleton Ward, who both went on to work at Cartoon Network Studios with Quintel; Van Orman created The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack and Ward created Adventure Time. Quintel concurrently worked on Camp Lazlo and as creative director on The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack while completing his degree. He was later invited to pitch for Cartoon Network's Cartoonstitute, a project to showcase short films created without the interference of network executives and focus testing,* [5]* [6]
141 the series.* [7] Regular Show was inspired by The Simpsons and Beavis and Butt-head, and Quintel credited the stylistic elements of Joe Murray's Rocko's Modern Life and Camp Lazlo as working their way into his style.* [7] Video games Street Fighter, Shadowrun and ToeJam & Earl —which Quintel played when he was a child —inspired the series, as did some British television programs. Quintel's interest in British television was influenced by his British roommate at CalArts, who introduced him to The League of Gentlemen, The IT Crowd, Little Britain, The Office and The Mighty Boosh; the latter was very influential to Quintel and would later influence the humor in Regular Show.* [6]
J. G. Quintel returned to the characters from his films, put them together with newer characters and created a pilot.* [6] Quintel wanted to present a visual pitch rather than a verbal one, believing the idea would make little sense otherwise. He storyboarded the idea for the pilot, and Craig McCracken and Rob Renzetti liked his presentation.* [7] Regular Show was one of two series from the project that were green-lit (the other show being Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, based on the Cartoonstitute short Uncle Grandpa, which in turn became its' own series later on). The project was eventually scrapped and never premiered on television. (l.* [8] The character of Mordecai embodies Quintel during his college years, specifically at CalArts; Quintel said, “That's that time when you're hanging out with your friends and getting into stupid situations, but you're also taking it seriously enough.”* [1] The character of Rigby was randomly developed when Quintel drew a raccoon hula-hooping. He liked the design and developed the character of Rigby to be far less responsible than his companion.* [9]
3.15.3 Production
The show is inspired by some British television series and video games. Episodes are produced using storyboarding and hand-drawn animation, and each episode takes roughly nine months to create. Quintel recruited several independent comic book artists to draw the show's animated elements; their style matched closely Quintel's ideas for the series. The show's soundtrack comprises original music composed by Mark Mothersbaugh and licensed songs. While preparing for the beginning of the show, Quintel looked for young, independent, comic artists to compose the show's storyboard artists; he thought that the style would closely match that of Regular Show. He looked through blogs and convention s for the “total package”, which he said was the ability to write and draw; something that many independent comic book artists possess. In addition, Quintel attended many open shows at CalArts—an eight-hour festival of student animation.* [6] The style and sensibility of Regular Show was difficult to work with in the beginning; the artists struggled to create a natural, sitcom-like sound for
The series is rated TV-PG-V. Cartoon Network told Quintel early on that they wanted to “age it up from the TV-Y7 stuff we'd been doing in the past”. This direction led the crew to use adult oriented humor with innuendos and drug and alcohol references because they wanted to cater for both the younger and adult audiences. The writers generally make these jokes subtle. The show also makes use of sub-textual adult humor through music. One of the program's storyboard artists, Calvin Wong, said that he enjoys the limitations set by writing for the show since the adult-oriented jokes that are approved are satisfying.* [9]
Writing The process of writing a script for Regular Show begins with the staff writers playing “writers games”for inspiration to find an idea that they find enjoyable. Once an idea is approved, the premise of the episode is written and ed to the storyboard artists, who create the dialogue. The writers try to make the conversations feel natural to the audience, using examples from their own experiences. The script is then shown to the network executives, who give notes on what should be added or changed. The plot generally begins with a basic problem that the characters must overcome. While the protagonists work on their task, a magical, supernatural, or strange element appears and complicates the initially simple problem. The writers decided to follow this narrative structure to take advantage of the animation.
The plots of the episodes are influenced by the writers' and Quintel's personal experiences, such as performing prank telephone calls or accepting an eating challenge from a restaurant. The show often references 1980s culture, using music and electronic devices from that era because many factors from the decade left a positive influence on Quintel. The show also makes references to modern social trends such as viral internet videos.

CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES
Voice cast The voice acting of the series is relatively low-key, and the intention was to make most of the characters sound natural and conversational.* [1] Quintel wanted to make the show listenable and given contrast to most other cartoons, which often are difficult for adults to listen to. The main cast consists of voice acting veterans Mark Hamill, who portrays Skips and Roger Craig Smith, who plays Thomas. William Salyers plays the voice of Rigby, Janie Haddad portrays Margaret and Quintel's former CalArts classmate Sam Marin voices Benson, Pops, and Muscle Man.* [1] Quintel portrays Mordecai and Hi-Five Ghost.* [1] of the production staff have voiced several characters throughout the series; these include Minty Lewis, Toby Jones, Andress Salaff, and Matt Price. The Regular Show cast record their lines together in group as opposed to individual recording sessions for each actor; this is to help the show's dialogue sound natural. The series regularly uses guest voice actors for recurring characters; these guests include Steven Blum, Courtenay Taylor, David Ogden Stiers, and Robin Atkin Downes, Jeff Bennett, Jennifer Hale, David Kaye, Fred Tatasciore and Julian Holloway.
Animation Each episode of Regular Show takes about nine months to complete. Quintel and his 35-strong team develop each episode at Cartoon Network Studios in Burbank, California.* [10]* [11] The script is illustrated in rough handdrawn images, known as storyboards.* [12] The storyboards are then animated and mixed with the corresponding dialogue to create the animatic, which is then sent to be approved by the network. The show's artists assemble the assets (backgrounds, character designs, props) to send to Saerom Animation in South Korea, where the more challenging aspects of the episode are performed. When finished, the episode is sent back to California. Music and sound effects are created and the final episode is mixed and completed. The process allows the production team to work concurrently on dozens of episodes at different stages of production. Although most modern animation has switched to hybrid methods such as the Cintiq, Regular Show has been described as “far more low-fi", and is animated traditionally by hand using digital ink and paint. Although Cintiqs were optioned to be used for the program, Quintel felt more comfortable working on paper, considering it to be more organic and more representative of each artist's individual style. Board artist Calvin Wong said, “the tools of the trade as being pencils, pens, white out and occasionally light boxes and electric erasers”.* [6]
Musician Mark Mothersbaugh works as the main composer of the show.
Music Regular Show has no regular theme music; instead at the beginning of each episode, a blurred sound (provided by Quintel) followed by a ticking a clock is heard over the title cards. The main composer of the series is Mark Mothersbaugh, one of the founding of the band Devo. As Quintel was developing the pilot he considered asking Mothersbaugh to create the music for the show. The episode's animatic was sent to Mothersbaugh along with a request for him to the show's staff and crew. Regular Show will occasionally make use of licensed songs—mostly from the 1980s; this began when Quintel and the staff writers started recording the animatics using copyrighted songs for the montage scenes. The network executives watched the animatic and asked the crew if they wanted to use some of the songs for the finished episodes.* [1] Quintel said that the songs are chosen for their suitability for the scene, whether they sound good and are affordable. Quintel enjoys using the songs in the episodes because adult viewers might them and younger viewers might appreciate older music.* [1] Songs have included "You're the Best Around" and "Mississippi Queen".* [1] The show also produces original songs which are used on the episodes. These are generally composed by Mothersbaugh and written by one of the staff's storyboard artists.* [1]“Summertime Loving, Loving in the Summer (Time)" was written by the staff member Sean Szeles and appeared in the episode “This Is My Jam”(season 2, episode 13).* [1]

Ratings Regular Show became an instant hit. Its first and second seasons, broadcast on Monday nights, ranked number one in its time slot among all key boy demos across all of television according to Nielsen Media Research.* [20] The pilot's premiere was watched by 2.097 million viewers.* [21] For the following episodes of the first season, viewership increased by over 10 percent from the time period of the previous year. For instance, the entry was viewed by 1.339 million children aged 2–11, a 65 percent increase from the previous year. It was also watched by 716,000 children aged 9–14; a 43 percent increase. The second season premiere, “Ello Gov'nor”, marked a decline from the first season premiere's figures. It gained 2.067 million views, but it marked an increase from the first season finale, which was watched by 2.028 million viewers.* [22]* [23] The third season premiere, “Stick Hockey”, saw a bigger decline in viewers, recording 2 million views.* [24] As the series continued its ratings grew; the fourth season premiere, “Exit 9B”, was watched by 3.047 million viewers—a significant increase from previous seasons.* [25] Critical reception
143 .* [27] He finished his review by calling the show“a pretty awesome piece of refreshing off-the-wall comedy”and wrote that it's “humorously animated, brazenly silly and almost always funny”.* [27] DVD Talk's Neil Lumbrad described the show as“offbeat sense of humor with a lot of randomness that makes its title both peculiar and hilarious”and compared it to the original Looney Tunes shorts and other cartoons—including The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, and Johnny Bravo—which Cartoon Network has produced. He wrote that the network has found“animated gold with Regular Show, which is too offbeat and unique to be called regular”and that it is a “comedic animated gem worthy of being discovered for years to come”.* [28] Lumbrad ended his review by recommending the show and calling it “one truly awesome cartoon with a lot of good humor to enjoy.”* [28] The A.V. Club's critic, Alasdair Wilkins, said that compared to Cartoon Network's other animated comedy, Adventure Time, he does not consider the series to be funny, and describing it as“more pleasingly weird”.* [29] He said that the episodes' plots can occasionally be too complex to explore completely in the show's 11 minutes, and also said that the usual story setup can make some stories feel structurally the same as others.* [30] Wilkins said that he considers that the show is at its best when it focuses on the jokes, the character moments and inventive ways to use animation. Kevin McFarland, also of The A.V. Club, said that he considers the series a thrill to watch; he complemented the animation style, the characters, and the use of motifs.* [26]

Samurai Jack is an American animated television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network. The series follows time-displaced samurai warrior“Jack”(voiced by Phil LaMarr) in his singular quest to find a method of traveling back in time and defeating the tyrannical demonic wizard Aku (voiced by Mako Iwamatsu). Episode plots range from dark and epic to lighthearted and comic, but often contain little dialogue. Stories instead rely on the series' highly detailed, outlinefree, masking-based animation, as well as its cinematic

style and pacing. Many battle scenes in the series are reminiscent of samurai films and since Jack's robot enemies bleed out oil or electricity and his monster and alien foes bleed out slime or goo, the action of these films can be exhibited while avoiding censorship for blood and violence. Samurai Jack premiered on August 10, 2001, on Cartoon Network and has since garnered high critical acclaim. It won four Primetime Emmy Awards, six Annie Awards, an OIAF Award, as well as received eight additional nominations. Cultural influences on the series range from the 1970s TV series Kung Fu to the works of directors Akira Kurosawa and David Lean. The series ran for four seasons, totaling 52 episodes and the series ended on September 25, 2004. All four seasons have since been released on DVD by Warner Home Video. Reruns had frequently been aired on Cartoon Network's sister channel, Boomerang, until the series moved to Adult Swim's Toonami block for reruns on February 1, 2014. The series is currently being continued as a form of Samurai Jack comics.* [1]

Plot
See also: List of Samurai Jack episodes Samurai Jack tells the story of a young prince (Jack) from Feudal Japan whose father's empire is destroyed by the shape shifting demon Aku. As a child, the prince escapes destruction and travels the Earth training his mind and his body for years until he reaches adulthood, becoming a legendary samurai. After taking his father's magic katana, he challenges Aku to a duel and defeats the demon. However, before the prince can deal the killing blow, Aku creates a time portal and sends his opponent into the distant future, anticipating that he would be able to amass sufficient power to deal with the samurai later.* [2] He arrives in a dystopian, retro-futuristic Earth ruled by Aku and filled with his robot minions and a large number of alien immigrant races of various appearances. The first people he encounters in the future call him “Jack”as a form of slang, which he adopts as his name (his true given name is never mentioned in the series).* [1] Standard episodes follow Jack's search for a way to travel back to his own time, where he hopes to stop Aku before these events come to . The cartoon depicts Jack's quest to find a time portal, while constantly facing obstacles set by Aku in a classic battle of Good versus Evil. Typically each time Jack believes he has reached the end of his quest, something causes him to dramatically miss his chance.* [3]* [4] In one attempt Jack locates a stable portal to the past, but the guardian of the portal (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) defeats him after a long but noticeably mismatched battle. The guardian is about to crush Jack when the portal starts to flicker and glow, seemingly giving the guardian a message: the guardian
has a giant pterodactyl take the unconscious Jack away. After Jack leaves, the guardian states that it is not yet time for him to return to the past and an image of what is implied to be an older Jack is seen in the portal: indicating that Jack is predestined to succeed, but it will take years for him to do so.* [3] Setting Samurai Jack takes place in a future Earth where science and technology have developed far beyond what is available in the present day and in some ways resembles magic on its own.* [5] However, despite scientific advances, the future is decidedly dystopian—for example, in one episode the mafia profits greatly from the sale of simple water.* [6] Aliens, bounty hunters, as well as robots are plentiful and always ready for a fight. The leader of this society is Aku. While the setting is distinctly retro-futuristic and technological, instances of mythology and supernatural events do occur. Mythologies, like Valhalla, as well as even supernatural forces, such as demonic enemies, make regular appearances, yet do not seem to stand out amongst the technologically advanced inhabitants. Aku himself is supernatural, as is Jack's sword. Stories take place in a variety of locations. Ranging from beautiful wilderness to futuristic or even dystopian cities, there is often a stark contrast made between the industrial world and the natural world.
3.16.2 Characters Jack Samurai Jack (voiced by Phil LaMarr) is the son of the Feudal Japanese Emperor who ruled the area where Aku originally appeared on Earth, as well as is banished to the future by Aku during their first battle, where he is left in every episode to search for a way home. He was born on the day that his father defeated Aku and he seems to be the only mortal (aside from his father) to be a match to Aku. As a boy, after his father was captured by Aku, Jack traveled around the planet to prepare both physically and mentally for his confrontation with Aku. He studied under various scholars, such as Egyptian thinkers, as well as mastered each art of combat from the cultures he met, training with Zulu warriors, Viking sailors, Robin Hood, Mongolian warriors, Shaolin monks, Greek Olympic contestants, Russian Cossacks, as well as others. Later, after being sent into the future, he is taught the ability to jump hundreds of feet into the air by a species of blue gorilla and a jungle man, thus allowing him to reach vast areas he previously could not reach while also giving the impression that he can fly. Jack's magic katana was
3.16. SAMURAI JACK forged by the gods Odin, Ra, as well as Vishnu through three mortal avatars from the righteous energy within Jack's father: it is able to cut through any substance with enough force behind it. On the other hand, it is unable to harm beings that are pure of heart, as seen in episode 4 of season 3, where Aku steals the sword and attempts to kill Jack with it, but fails even to cut him. Jack strongly exhibits the characteristics of a stoic hero. He is unfailingly polite and humble despite the completely alien nature of the futuristic Earth and never scoffs at or disparages the customs of the people he encounters (as unpleasant as they seem to him at times). Despite his almost hopeless situation, he does not bewail his destiny, instead exhibiting a strong amor fati. Jack consistently shows an uncommon moral strength of character by helping the poor and defenseless along the way, in one instance even helping talking dogs that worked for Aku, in another, releasing the souls of a family in a haunted mansion. Occasionally, he faces great physical pain, or has to forget his own goals in order to help someone in need. His real name has never been revealed (however, his way of replying his name when asked may be a homage to Violence Jack due to sharing a similar response as well as the name). In the second episode however, he began using the name Jack when three teenage aliens, after witnessing Jack survive a huge fall by jumping onto cars, referred to him as Jack while praising him when he landed—in this case, more of a generic term, i.e. “dude”or “guy.” Later, when asked to identify himself, he replied "They call me Jack." He is also 25 years old (born“25 B.A.”).
Aku Aku (voiced by Mako Iwamatsu in the television series and Greg Baldwin in Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall) is Jack's nemesis. (He is apparently named after Akuma, an evil demon with burning eyes from Japanese mythology). He is an extremely powerful demon wizard whose primary ability is shape-shifting, though he does possess other powers. He requires no food, water, or air and is capable of interstellar travel. He also has the ability to spy on Jack and others from a large sphere he can summon at will in his tower. A significant aspect of the series is that Aku is immortal and Jack's samurai sword is the only weapon capable of harming and finally defeating him: even the slightest physical with the sword's blade causes Aku severe pain and wounds inflicted by it burn his body and cut away his power. Because of this threat, Aku does not like to fight Jack himself and only does so when Jack is incapacitated or without the sword. Aku much prefers to let his minions and bounty hunters do it for him. Aku is also vulnerable to varying degrees of other forms of magical or divine attacks such as the powers and artifacts of deities.
147 Jack's own gambits. The two seem doomed never to defeat each other, for though Jack has bested Aku on numerous occasions, Aku merely transforms into a small creature and escapes, usually calling out a taunt over his shoulder as he flees, a fact that he himself is aware of and even makes a reference to in one episode. The episode “The Birth of Evil”reveals Aku's origin. Long ago in the vastness of space, a great formless evil appeared. Before the darkness could do harm to the universe, it was set upon by the kings of three religions: Odin, the Norse god and one-eyed king of Asgard, Ra, the sun god and king of the deities of Egypt, as well as Vishnu, the supreme being in Hindu mythology. So fierce was their attack on the shadow, that it was completely destroyed, save for a small fragment that was flung aside in the heat of battle. For ages, the fragment drifted through the cosmos and eventually fell to Earth, as well as caused the impact event that wiped out the dinosaurs when it landed. The land around its impact site eventually formed into the islands of Japan, where the evil fragment slowly grew like a forest and spread like poison over the course of eons, creating an ever-expanding mass of black spikes and toxic tar that devoured and poisoned any who entered. Eventually, the forest grew so large that the Emperor of the land decided to kill the evil at its source. Armed with a magic oil given to him by Buddhist monks, the Lord and his cavalry rode into the heart of the forest, but the Lord himself was the only one to survive. Once at the black lake at the forest's center, the Samurai Lord doused an arrow into the oil he was given, lit it with a green flame and shot it into the lake. Instead of destroying the evil, however, the magic arrow gave it both a will and consciousness, thus the demon wizard Aku was born. Aku went on a rampage of destruction, burning and killing. He proved to be unstoppable, so with the help of the three gods, Jack's father forged a sword capable of harming him. With it, he was able to defeat Aku and turned the demon back into a black tree. This imprisonment was only temporary, as years later, a solar eclipse releases Aku upon the Earth once more. While he is usually presented as a serious and threatening foe, Aku is also a source of comedy due to his outrageous design and sometimes wise-guy behavior, ed by Mako's over-the-top voice acting. Aku's shifts in personality between serious and chaotic suggest that his mind changes form just as his body does. In addition, Aku has a tendency to refer to himself in the third person. Secondary characters
When Jack arrives in the future, he finds that Aku has conquered the planet and rules the populace with an iron fist. Jack finds that there are still warriors in this age and occasionally meets both those fighting for and those siding against the side of good. The Samurai Jack universe Aku constantly antagonizes Jack, often attacking him is populated by a diverse cast of characters who often apwhile he is weak and other times defending himself from pear for single episodes with only two notable exceptions.
148 The Scotsman The Scotsman (voiced by John DiMaggio) is the name for a Scottish man who initially shares a rivalry with Jack, but later becomes one of the samurai's most trusted allies. He is one of only two characters to appear in four episodes - “Jack and the Scotsman”,“Jack and the Scotsman II”, and“The Scotsman saves Jack”(which consists of two consecutive episodes). In “Jack and the Scotsman”, he first meets Jack and then makes fun of Jack by calling him various names and insults such as 'a sissy in a nightgown'. He even derides Jack's sword, calling it a butter knife, though Jack has impressed him by the end of the episode. In “Jack and the Scotsman II”, the Scotsman enlists Jack to help him rescue his dainty, beautiful wife from a demon. The rescue is successful, but only because the Scotsman's wife turns out to be larger and more terrifying than the Scotsman himself, as well as stronger than Jack and the Scotsman combined. By time of the episode“The Scotsman Saves Jack”, he has come to use the name 'Samurai Jack,' instead of 'friend' or 'stranger'. The Scotsman saves Jack when he loses his memory to the Sirens, as the Scotsman's preference for the bagpipes makes him the only one immune to them: he compares their singing to 'someone stepping on a lot o' cats'.
CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES The Emperor The Emperor (portrayed by Sab Shimono as an old man, and Keone Young as a young man) is the Emperor of the land, Jack's father and the original wielder of Jack's sword. Like his son, the Emperor is brave, humble and polite. Despite having a striking resemblance to his son, the Emperor has a bigger nose.
3.16.3 Production
Samurai Jack was created by Genndy Tartakovsky as a follow-up to his successful series Dexter's Laboratory. He intended to develop a series “that is cinematic in scope and that incorporates action, humor and intricate artistry” .* [8] Prior to Samurai Jack, Tartakovsky had complaints with action cartoons, which is why he decided to create his own series in the genre. He based his new project on the samurai character, one of his favorites, as well as the works of Seven Samurai director Akira Kurosawa and Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago director David Lean.* [9] Cartoon Network executive Mike Lazzo recalled Tartakovsky pitching him the series: “He said, 'Hey, David Carradine in Kung Fu? Wasn't that cool?' and I was like, 'Yeah, that's really cool.' That * The Scotsman's notable features include his legs: one of was literally the pitch.” [9] them is normal, if disproportionately small, and the other The network announced the series' launch at a press conis a fully functional machine gun, which he wields in com- ference on February 21, 2001.* [10] Weeks leading up to bat along with explosives contained in his kilt.

He counters the Siren's song with gramming block. The final episode aired on September his bagpipe playing, thus giving Jack back his memory 25, 2004. and saving The Scotsman from being crushed. The Scotsman serves as a convenient foil for Jack, as they are nearly perfectly matched in fighting and survival skills, but very different in personality, manners, as well as sense of honor. While Jack is humble and polite, The Scotsman tends to be rude and brags about his skills. Yet he happily calls Jack“The greatest warrior on the planet aside from me.”Whereas Jack has mastered martial arts skills, The Scotsman seems to rely almost entirely on his freakish strength, brawling using his Claymore, machine-gun leg and various grenades in his kilt. The Scotsman is the only character, apart from Aku, to also appear in the Samurai Jack comics.* [7]
3.16.4 Influences Samurai Jack frequently features appearances from deities of varying pantheons and creatures of legend. Tartakovsky was influenced by many different sources. The series overall was designed to look like a Japanese epic, with individual episodes taking on their own styles. Action in Samurai Jack borrows liberally from old martial arts and samurai films, as well as action films of the 1970s and Japanese anime. Like 1963's Toei Animation studio release entitled The Little Prince and the Eight-Headed Dragon (originally Wanpaku Ōji no Orochi Taiji), it uses multiple angle and split screen shots to display action from multiple angles. The plot is frequently stopped to
3.16. SAMURAI JACK allow for the building of tension before combat or for the sake of humor: it is also not uncommon for episodes to be almost entirely free of dialogue. Regardless of the setting, the simple, minimalistic art style employed resembles ukiyo-e paintings.

3.16.6 Influence
The distinctive style of Samurai Jack is what drew Lucasfilm to recruit Tartakovsky for the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series.

Rodney (left) and Andy (right).
Andy and Rodney are arch-enemies with a rowdy boy named Kyle (Billy West) and his anthropomorphic parrot, Salty Mike (Carlos Alazraqui), who constantly pick on Andy and Rodney and act as bullies towards them. Other characters in the show include: Oscar (Jason Spisak), Andy's nerdy human friend with overprotective parents, Leon (Tom Kenny), a stray blue squirrel who is Rodney's friend and lives in a tree in Andy's backyard; and Darlene (Monica Lee Gradischek), a yellow stray squirrel who is Rodney's love interest.
Sym-Bionic Titan is an American animated action science fiction television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky, Bryan Andrews, and Paul Rudish for Cartoon Network. The series focuses on a trio made up of the alien princess Ilana, the rebellious soldier Lance, and the robot Octus; the three are able to combine to create the titular Sym-Bionic Titan. A preview of the series was first shown at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con International,* [2] and further details were revealed at Cartoon Network's 2010 Upfront.* [3]* [4] The series premiered on September 17, 2010, and ended on April 9, 2011. The series is rated TV-PG-V.
Cartoon Network initially ordered 20 episodes; Tartakovsky had hoped to expand on that,* [5] but the series was not renewed for another season, as the show“did not have any toys connected to it.”* [6] Although Sym-Bionic Titan has never been released on DVD, all 20 episodes The series most likely takes place in the summertime, see- are available on iTunes. ing as none of the child characters in the show attend On October 7, 2012, reruns of Sym-Bionic Titan began school and don't appear to be homeschooled, even the airing on Adult Swim's Toonami block along with the games on CartoonNetwork and the press release indicate 2011 television series of ThunderCats.* [7]* [8] the season a lot.

The three main characters include Ilana, princess of the royal family; Lance, a rebellious but capable soldier; and Octus, a bio-cybernetic robot, all of whom must now blend into everyday life in Sherman, Illinois. Posing
3.18. SYM-BIONIC TITAN as high school students, Lance and Octus work to conceal Princess Ilana from General Modula and his hideous space mutants sent to kill the sole heir of Galaluna. When called into battle, the Galalunans are outfitted with individual armor that provides more than ample protection. It is when the gravest of danger appears that Octus activates the sym-bionic defense program and he, Ilana, and Lance unite“Heart, Body and Mind”and come together to form the spectacular cyber-giant Sym-Bionic Titan.
3.18.2
Characters
Galalunians • Corporal Lance (voiced by Kevin Thoms) - On Galaluna, Lance was the most talented soldier in his military unit, but also the most rambunctious. With an inherent disregard for authority, Lance is often lost in his own angst and turmoil. However, on the battlefield he is a quick and capable warrior. Lance's father was a top scientist who disappeared in a mysterious accident when Lance was very young. After this, Lance had a troubled life in school before proving himself as a warrior and ing the military. The King of Galaluna chose Lance as his daughter's protector on Earth, and during this mission the two become close friends. The rebellious attitude that caused him so much trouble back home becomes the reason of his popularity at Sherman High. Lance uses the “Manus”armor, capable of materializing short-range weapons such as swords, with built-in guns and missiles. Lance is the “body”of Titan.
153 develop new abilities, such as super speed, if the situation calls for it. When a threat exceeds Octus' individual abilities he is able to unite with Ilana and Lance's armors to form the Sym-Bionic Titan, becoming the “mind”of the giant robot. In an effort to assimilate on Earth, Octus can cloak himself with a variety of holograms. In school, he adopts the persona of a stereotypical“nerd”named Newton, (after Sir Isaac Newton). At home, Octus uses a “Dad”hologram. While this is initially intended to function as a ruse for parent-teacher conferences and other events necessitating parental participation, Octus begins acting more like a real father as the three spend time on Earth, often mediating fights between Lance and Ilana and helping them to see things from a different perspective. As Newton, he also undergoes changes, discovering his emotions and developing a liking for the cheerleader Kimmy that he himself cannot explain. Sym-Bionic Titan The Sym-Bionic Titan (referred to as just “Titan”by humans) is the combined form of Lance's Manus armor, Ilana's Corus armor, and Octus's robotic body, the result of the Sym-Bionic defense program that Octus possesses. Its interior structure is the combined Manus and Corus armors and its transparent exterior armor is Octus's outer shell. It is capable of flight and can create various weapons, tools and defenses in exact response to the pilots' mere thoughts. The Titan rarely shows outward signs of damage, but will deactivate if attacked enough. In“A New Beginning”, the Sym-Bionic Titan was made even stronger and more powerful when Octus was brought back to life, with more abilities and powers (which are much stronger and much more powerful) than it had before, like projecting huge, incredibly powerful energy beams from its hands and feet. When it came to the only time when Sym-Bionic Titan spoke, its voice was provided by Richard McGonagle.
• Princess Ilana (voiced by Tara Strong) - Ilana is the daughter of the King and sole heir to the throne of the planet Galaluna. She has always been a symbol of hope and happiness for the citizens of Galaluna, and it is for this reason that evil forces hunt her on Earth; her very existence is enough to rally a rebellion against her people's oppressors and for that she must be destroyed. Ironically, the outspokenness Villains and earnestness that made her a hero to her people • General Modula (voiced by Don Leslie) - Once a has made her unpopular at school on Earth.

CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES reign over Galaluna. General Modula is a ruthless warmonger and dictator who is set on destroying Ilana.
• Electric Entity - This monster appeared in the episode “A Family Crisis”. It is a blue-white mass of electricity that was first found by the Galactic Guardian Group on a space station near Saturn, where it attacked them, leaving Solomon as the only survivor. This forced him to call Ilana, Lance and Octus for help. The creature has the power to drain any form of energy from anything. The creature is destroyed when Lance blew up the space station with the creature in it, but not before Octus is killed by it. The only noise the creature makes is a loud shriek. It is unlikely that this monster is a Muttradi, as it did not open the rift gate the other monsters use. Muttraddi The Mutraddi are alien monsters used by General Modula in his plot to conquer Galaluna and kill the princess. Some are human-sized, while others are gigantic mega-beasts. Their homeworld is a damaged planet called Mutradd, though many of them apparently were not born there. Even so, they are still referred to as Muttraddi. It is possible that“Muttraddi”is the Galalunian word for “alien”. So far, only a few Muttradi are known to be able to speak. Among the featured Mutraddis are: • Fire Monster - The Fire Monster is the first Mutraddi that General Modula sent to Earth to destroy the princess. It is really a rock monster, but is capable of using fire as a weapon and flying. When it came to Earth, it landed outside the city of Sherman, and the military was unable to stop it as it entered downtown. It was then attacked by Ilana, Lance and Octus, and for the first time, the three formed the Sym-Bionic Titan. During the battle, the monster devastated a large section of the city with its fiery power, but eventually the Titan pushed it into a nearby lake, dousing its flames, but it then burst out of the lake in its rock form and tried to crush the Titan. At this point, Solomon and G3 had arrived on the scene and paralyzed the monster with a motion wave cannon, allowing the Titan to cut the monster into pieces. • Xeexi (voiced by Vanessa Marshall) - Xeexi is an intelligent squid/cockroach-like Mutraddi creature, the third Mutraddi that General Modula sent to Earth to destroy the princess and one of Modula's high-ranked troopers. He can enter humanoid bodies (and possibly more) to cause massive stress, pain, and is even able to make said humanoid spill information. His only appearance (so far) was in“Phantom Ninja”, where he gained information from the King that Ilana was “not alone,”and then invaded Earth for Modula's bidding to find out why the monsters Modula was sending to earth were failing to
destroy Ilana. He attempted to track Ilana, caught a signal of Lance's armor and successfully captured him and forced him to reveal Ilana's location, which also succeeded. Lance, however, eventually escaped and regrouped with Ilana and Octus to form SymBionic Titan. When the Titan was formed, Xeexi was surprised to see the Galalunan secret weapon. As Xeexi was retreating (as his mechanical vehicle was a small bug compared to the Titan), he initially recorded the Titan and successfully sent a probe back to Galaluna, only for his vehicle to be crushed by the Titan. Despite his possible death, he succeeded in his mission. It is unknown whether Xeexi died or not. Being an invertebrate, he could have survived being smashed by the Titan. For a spiltsecond, he can be seen inside his vehicle when the Titan smashed it. • Duraak (voiced by John DiMaggio) - A Mutraddi scientist. Modula came to the Mutraddi homeworld in hopes to find a “special”creature since the ones given to him were failures. Duraak presented a giant creature who had scales that could withstand unmeasurable force and had poisonous spikes that shot out like missiles, but did not catch Modula's interest. He then presented a giant frog-like creature that could emit lightning and fire, but he told Modula it was not the most special. Finally, he presented Tashy 497, who could perform an explosion powerful enough to destroy an entire planet. However, when Tashy 497's vital signs boosted but it did not explode, Durrak was killed by General Modula due to his failure. • Tashy 497/Mushy/Tarax/497 - The seventh Mutraddi sent to Earth. It has the physical appearance of a cute, harmless alien, but in fact, has unstable power from within. If it dies, it creates a massive explosion that is powerful enough to destroy an entire planet. Modula had interest of this creature and had dispatched it to Earth in a large rocket so it can explode when it crash-landed, but Sym-Bionic Titan managed to stop the rocket. Lance, Octus and Ilana then found Tashy inside the rocket's “warhead”. Ilana adored the creature and took it with her since Octus stated they could not leave any alien life form for the army to discover. Ilana named it Mushy, Lance named it Tarax, and Octus called it 497. When Octus analyzed a piece of its skin, he discovered the creature's intent and the atmosphere of Earth caused it to deteriorate. It was then agreed that they would send it out to space so it would explode harmlessly. It was later discovered that the creature had created a cosmic formation, and was named Tashy 497. It was the only Mutraddi monster that didn't intentionally want to destroy the trio. • Muculox (voiced by John DiMaggio) - Muculox is the tenth Mutraddi sent to earth. He is slightly larger than a human, and the only Mutraddi beast not to
3.18. SYM-BIONIC TITAN engage Titan in combat. He is light green, with four eyes located along his bottom jaw, and has six limbs; two smaller upper arms, two larger lower arms connected by light webbing and two legs and has transparent skin on his chest and head. He is also capable of reviving after being defeated and he can even speak. Proportionally, he is very strong, capable of kicking the Manus armor a significant distance. When he came to Earth, his ship landed in a swamp, and he engaged Lance, Ilana and Octus when they came to investigate. After being electrocuted by Octus under water he is apparently killed and thrown on shore. While discussing what to do with the beast, Muculox revives and wraps his projectile tongue, around Ilana's ankle, giving her a topical venom burn before fleeing into the swamp. This venom burn slowly infects her and begins to replace her DNA with that of Muculox's, making her stronger and more nimble, as well as altering her appearance. Midway through her transformation, Ilana encounters a dead alligator that shows some of the same transformation signs as she has: webbed hands, and light greenish skin, and two eyes on its bottom jaw in addition to its own eyes (clearly another victim of Muculox). The mutant alligator also revives from its deceased state and attacks Ilana. She manages to survive being bitten by the giant creature with little to no injury, and the beast is killed when Ilana snaps the mutant gator's jaw. By this point, Ilana is fully transformed and Muculox approaches her and emits a call from his vocal sac, gaining control over her mind. This call was also used to summon his ship from where it rested at the bottom of the swamp, so he could take Ilana back to Mutradd and gain an even greater reward for bringing her in alive, but before they could leave, Lance kills Muculox by using the Manus armor to leap up to the escaping ship and stab a trident through Muculox's chest, piercing its heart. When Muculox dies, the ship crashes and the psychic link between Ilana and Muculox is severed. Ilana goes into cardiac arrest for a period of time, but then her mutated heart restarts, and since the link is severed, she reverts to her humanoid form. Other strange Mutraddi exist, including the standard Mutraddi which are grey and strong. Modula has these in Hordes. Another is a drill creature that is impervious to most attacks. Also, there are other intelligent Mutraddi besides Xeexi, such as a humanoid frog that seems to serve as a courier for Modula. Earthlings • Solomon (voiced by Tim Russ) - Solomon is the leader of the Galactic Guardian Group (more commonly known as G3), an independent group dedicated to handling alien threats, which he initially
155 sees in both Titan and the monsters it fights. He knows the identities of Ilana, Lance, and Octus since he saw surveillance videos of Lance wielding his Manus armor and had them confiscated. He appears to have an understanding of “Titan's”good intentions as shown when he allowed Titan to flee when it defeated the fire monster and smiling when Octus played the friendship song. Solomon stated that he is tracking General Steel's actions and warns him not to mess with foreign species, which Steel ignores. However, his true motives are currently unknown. In “The Fortress of Deception”, he captures Lance and Ilana and outruns Octus. He later assumes a false identity “Kane”(a reference to pulp witch-hunter Solomon Kane), who is a prisoner and ex-member of G3. Kane later guides the group to their armor, and later, Octus comes and they form Titan. Solomon then secures Titan in a giant trap, reveals his identity, and demands answers, but Titan manages to escape. He also has a fighting style similar to Lance's, but even though G3 uses Galalunian-like technology, he still appears to have no knowledge of the Galalunians and their purpose. He also secretly works for a currently unknown individual with a metal hand (which looks exactly like a Manus armor hand implying this man may somehow be Lance's father who had gone through the rift gate many years earlier) who seems to be the true leader of G3. G3 also cleans up the remains of the giant Mutraddi monsters that Titan has already destroyed. After being rescued from the Electric Entity by the group, he offers to help them. They eventually agreed and stayed with G3 while they tried to restore Octus. • General Julius Steel (voiced by John DiMaggio) - General Julius Steel is in charge of many of the armed forces, and is portrayed as the stereotypical "shoot first, ask questions later" soldier. He too sees Titan and the monsters it fights as a threat, but he also hates Solomon due to their competition of dealing with alien threats. He stated in an interview that Titan was the one who brought the monsters to Earth, and intends to destroy it so that more monsters would not appear (which is true in some way, given the fact that Modula is sending them to Earth to destroy the princess). His desire to destroy Titan may be an obsession, demonstrated when he completely ignored safety protocols to cut open a mysterious rock, which resulted in a cloud of destructive power. Even after Titan stopped it, Steel still seems to be obsessive over the destruction of Titan. Steel is very stubborn and dimwitted, even to fire his pistol directly at a mutraddi creature. • H.M.E.R. (a.k.a. “The Hammer”) The H.M.E.R. (Homeland Mobile Emergency Robot) is a giant robot that General Steel built from the remains of the massive rocket that

CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES brought Tashy 497 to Earth. It has powerful military weapons, a giant laser gun, thick armor, is capable of flight, and is manned by a crew of hundreds of soldiers. It was revealed to the public when it engaged the horned monster in downtown Sherman and defeated it. Later, it fought Ilana and Lance when they broke into Steel's military base to repower Octus by using H.M.E.R.'s power source. It almost killed them, but they were saved at the last minute by Solomon and G3, prompting Steel to mark G3 as traitors. Steel takes great pride in this machine, shown as he patted its surface after it fought Lance and Ilana. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in the last episode by a Mutraddi monster in San Francisco. The nickname of the robot is obviously a pun on the 1990s rapper M.C. Hammer, and General Steel made frequent references to his song U Can't Touch This during the robot's use.

Production
The series was produced by Genndy Tartakovsky and employs a similar animation style to Tartakovsky's Samurai Jack. Tartakovsky revealed in his Hyperspace commentary tracks on the official Star Wars website and on the Volume I DVD that he purposely animated C-3PO with moveable expressive eyes to pay homage to the animators of and the animation style of Nelvana, the production company behind the animated segment from Star Wars Holiday Special and the 1980s Droids cartoon series.

Release
• Chapters 21–25 of the micro-series were released on December 6, 2005. The release was an edited together compilation of the five chapters, similar to the Volume I release. The set featured English subtitles, and commentary tracks on all the episodes. Features included a Revenge of the Sith movie trailer, art galleries, trailers for the Star Wars games Battlefront II and Empire at War, an Xbox demo with two levels from Battlefront II, and the LEGO short film Revenge of the Brick. Also included was the featurette “Connecting the Dots”, which highlighted the creative process that Genndy Tartakovsky and his team used to link Clone Wars to Revenge of the Sith. The second volume of Clone Wars series was released significantly later than the DVD release of Revenge of the Sith. According to Van Ling, the producer of both DVDs, the Volume II disc was released at such a late date due to an extremely tight schedule in producing the DVDs. According to http://starwars.com, both DVDs were produced at exactly the same time, but the Clone Wars DVD could not be finished in time for the DVD release of Revenge of the Sith. Ling apologized to fans for this.

Synopsis
161 tries to take the Allspark for himself, but the Autobots successfully stop him and save the city once again.
Season One In the first season, the Autobots settle into their new home and learn about Earth culture and customs, all of the while defending Detroit from various threats. Megatron's disembodied head, which has been in Professor Sumdac's laboratory since the ship crashed, comes back online and manipulates Sumdac into building him a new body, pretending that he is an Autobot. Blitzwing and Lugnut arrive on Earth searching for Megatron, while Blackarachnia targets Optimus Prime, blaming him for her technoorganic mutation. New Transformers introduced in the first season include the Autobot Arcee (who only appears in Ratchet's flashbacks), the Decepticon Soundwave, the bounty-hunter Lockdown, and the Dinobots Grimlock, Snarl and Swoop. Several human villains are also introduced, including Nanosec (who can run at extreme speeds), the Heaster (who pilots a machine that attaches to and controls large robots) and Meltdown (who is covered in a toxic and corrosive substance). The season ends with Megatron returning with a new body (built by the Allspark from his old body), and the Allspark exploding into fragments that scatter across Detroit.
Main article: List of Transformers: Animated episodes Season Two Pilot episodes The series began with a three-part pilot called “Transform and Roll Out!". Stellercycles (centuries) after the Autobots won the great war for Cybertron against the Decepticons, an Autobot maintenance crew led by Optimus Prime and consisting of Ratchet, Bulkhead, Prowl and Bumblebee discover the legendary Allspark buried on an asteroid. The Autobots take the Allspark back to their ship, but are soon confronted by a crew of Decepticons led by the notorious warlord Megatron and consisting of Blitzwing, Lugnut, Blackarachnia and Starscream. Megatron attacks the Autobot ship and tries to retrieve the Allspark, but when an explosive planted on Megatron by the treacherous Starscream detonates, the ship crashes on Earth. The Autobots go into stasis to survive the crash, while the scattered remains of Megatron are discovered by a human scientist named Isaac Sumdac. Fifty years later, Professor Sumdac is the CEO of a robotics company known as Sumdac Systems, which is based in a futuristic version of Detroit. Optimus Prime and the Autobots awaken from stasis and defend the people of Detroit from a monster, resulting in them becoming local celebrities. They befriend Sumdac's young daughter Sari, who teaches them about Earth customs. At the end of the pilot episodes, Starscream arrives on Earth and
In the second season, the Autobot Elite Guard Ultra Magnus, Sentinel Prime, and Jazz arrive on Earth to retrieve the Allspark, only to learn of its destruction in the Season One finale. While Sentinel completely disbelieves Optimus' claims, Optimus and his team are eventually able to convince Magnus of Decepticon activity on Earth. The main theme for Season Two is the discovery of small fragments of the Allspark littered across the city (and possibly, the entire planet), while the Decepticons work on building a space bridge back to Cybertron with the help of Issac Sumdac, who was kidnapped by Megatron in the previous season's finale. New characters introduced in season 2 include the Autobots Omega Supreme (who was revealed to be Optimus Prime's team's spaceship), Wreck-Gar, Wasp and Blurr, the Decepticons Shockwave, Swindle, Mixmaster and Scrapper, the human villain Slo-Mo (who is able to slow down time), and Starscream's army of clones Thundercracker, Ramjet, Skywarp, Sunstorm and Slipstream (none of the clones are openly referred to by name in the series, the names listed come from the toy-line, while Slipstream was retroactively given her name by Hasbro). At the end of the season, the Decepticon Space Bridge is destroyed, but Megatron, Starscream and Omega Supreme are sucked through and lost in deep space. Sari meanwhile, notices an injury that exposes machinal parts under her skin, revealing that she is not human.
162 Season Three Following the events of the two-part second season finale, Sari is shocked and distraught over the revelation that she is a robot, and instantly assumes that her“father”had built her, refusing to believe Sumdac's claim that he discovered her as a small liquid metal body. Prowl does some research and discovers that Professor Sumdac was in fact telling the truth, and deduces that Sari is a Cybertronian protoform (the early development stage of an Autobot and Decepticon) that scanned Professor Sumdac's genetic information. Sari later uses the power from her AllSparkpowered key to upgrade herself into an armored technoorganic teenage form that is far taller and much stronger equipped with numerous weapons and special abilities. Meanwhile, on Cybertron, Shockwave (disguised as the Autobot Longarm Prime) sabotages several Elite Guard operations in preparation for Megatron's return, unaware that Megatron and Starscream are lost in deep space, trying to gain control of Omega Supreme. Suspecting that the double-agent may be the escaped convict Wasp, Ultra Magnus sends Sentinel and Jazz back to Earth to find and apprehend Wasp, who has found his way to Earth to exact revenge on Bumblebee for framing him. Soundwave and Arcee reappear in season 3, with Soundwave being accompanied by minions Laserbeak and Ratbat. New characters introduced in season 3 include the Constructicon Dirt Boss, the Autobot scientist Perceptor, Prowl's mentor Yoketron (who only appears in Prowl's memory flashes), and the Elite Guard Jetstorm and Jetfire. In the two-part season finale, Jazz s Optimus Prime's team on Earth, while Megatron and Starscream also find their way back to Earth, using information stored deep winin Arcee's subconscious mind to create an army of Omega Supreme-sized robots in Lugnut's likeness. Optimus defeats Megatron with the aid of Ultra Magnus' Magnus Hammer and a“Wingblade”jetpack built by Professor Sumdac, Ratchet, and Sari while Prowl sacrifices himself to re-assemble the Allspark and destroy the“Lugnut Supremes”. The Autobots return to Cybertron with the apprehended Decepticons, and are hailed as heroes upon arriving on their home world. Post-Cancellation info
CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES Bulkhead defending Cybertron's energon farms from the Decepticons. Megatron would also reformat into a new, Triple-Changer body, with his new vehicle modes being a fighter jet and a tank, both of which would be Cybertronian. An action figure was designed for Megatron's new body (along with figures for Powermaster Optimus Prime and Hot Shot's earth mode), but was never massproduced or released at retail. Other ideas planned for the cancelled fourth season include Blackarachnia returning with an army of Predacons, Bulkhead and Sari entering a parallel universe with evil Autobots and heroic Decepticons (an homage to the Shattered Glass comic), Minicons from Kaon disabling all the machinery in Detroit (an homage to the film Gremlins), the introductions of the Autobot Cosmos (who would have scanned a prop flying saucer from the set of a B-Movie) and the Decepticon Bludgeon (who would have been a pirate), and a new group of human villains called S.T.E.A.M. (short for Saving The Earth And Mankind), who are against modern technology and use Steampunkstyle weaponry. Return to The Hub The Hub started airing reruns of the show on July 9, 2012, in its original HD format until mid-2014.
3.20.2 Characters Main article: List of Transformers: Animated characters The main Autobots are Optimus Prime, Prowl, Ratchet, Bulkhead, and Bumblebee. The main Decepticon cast is made up of Megatron, Starscream, Blitzwing, and Lugnut. The main humans, or as the Transformers call them,“organics”,* [5] are Professor Isaac Sumdac, Sari Sumdac, and Captain Fanzone.
3.20.3 Comic/manga adaptation Transformers Animated was adapted into comics and published by IDW Publishing in 2008. The book used cartoon screen captures arranged in comic book style s. In Japan, a manga adaptation titled Transformers Animated: The Cool (トランスフォーマーアニメ イテッドザ・クール Toransufōmā Animeiteddo: Za Kūru) was created by Naoto Tsushima and serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's Kerokero Ace magazine from March 26, 2010 to March 26, 2011.
A fourth season was initially planned and intended, but was cancelled. According to Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II, season four's main theme would have been the discovery of Energon deposits left by the Allspark across Detroit. Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz and Ratchet would have returned to Earth along with new team member Ironhide (who would scan a pick-up 3.20.4 Locations truck vehicle mode resembling the live-action film version of the character), while Bulkhead and Sari would • Detroit: The Autobots and Decepticons end up have remained on Cybertron, with Sari discovering more here, and the battle of good against evil is renewed about her unique origins and Cybertronian species, and in this future city on Earth.
3.20. TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED • Sumdac Tower: The largest tower in Detroit where Isaac Sumdac designs and tests his robot creations, which was also the resting place of Megatron's severed head before he was revived. Its appearance is that of a giant spark plug. • Abandoned Automobile Plant: The current headquarters of the Autobots. According to Sari, Isaac acquired the plant from a merger several years ago, and he was not aware of the plant itself being part of the merger. • Dino Drive: A theme park in 22nd-century Detroit that features displays of animatronic Dinosaurs. • Fossil Fuels: The city's oil refinery. Its logo is an parody of Sludge. • Wyatt Toy: A toy store. • Burger Bot: A fast food restaurant frequented by Sari and, later on, the Autobots. The restaurant's name is a parody of Burger King with the emphasis of it being run by robots. Unfortunately, it got destroyed by Masterson when he was battling Optimus in Starscream's body. • Tigatron Stadium: The city's baseball stadium where Prowl faces Lockdown in the episode “Five Servos of Doom”. The stadium is a parody of the Beast Wars character Tigatron and is also a parody of the nowdemolished Tiger Stadium. • Dinobot Island: Small isolated island in middle of Lake Erie where the Dinobots are living. It is also the location of Meltdown's laboratory. • Carbon Mines: The site far from Detroit where Megatron's body ended up. During Season 2, Megatron uses it as his base of operation because the carbon protects him and his forces from detection. The Mines are later destroyed during the“A Bridge Too Close”2-parter. • Orion: The Autobots' ship, Orion, crippled by the Decepticon's attack and crash-landed in Lake Erie. Its main computer system has a female-voiced persona known as Teletraan I, which is the same name of the Autobot computer system in Generation 1 (G1). When Blitzwing and Lugnut arrived on Earth to search for Megatron and the Allspark, Ratchet and Sari used its (previously deactivated) weapon systems to battle the Decepticons. In part two of “Megatron Rising”, the ship flew again, only to be shot down and crash into the crater mountainside of Dinobot Island (similar to the crash of the Autobot ship in G1). The emergency shuttle stored inside the ship was destroyed by Starscream in the episode“A Fistful of Energon”. In“A Bridge Too Close”Pt.

On the verge of destruction, it was abandoned by all of the Decepticons except Starscream. He managed to survive and pilot its remains for fifty years until he eventually homed in on the Allspark on Earth. The ship later crash-landed on the moon. It still remained there, acting as Starscream's base of operations and holding his decoy army, until Megatron had parts of it torn down to build his Omega Supreme clones. • Death's Head, Lockdown's Ship* [6]: A ship that is outfitted with hologram projectors to disguise it, and very powerful scanners. Lockdown travels the galaxy in this ship, and he stores many of his hunting trophies on board. It is named after the Transformers comic character Death's Head. • The Steelhaven, The Cybertron Elite Guard's Ship* [6]: Similar to the ship of Optimus Prime's crew, only larger and light blue in color, Ultra Magnus and his team landed with this ship in Detroit. As of“Mission Accomplished”, the ship and its crew has returned to space again to aid the other Autobots across the galaxy. There is a special prison module for the captive Decepticons in this ship. Ultra Magnus had put Starscream in this module when the latter had been arrested by Optimus Prime on Earth; but during the Cybertron flight Starscream managed to break out of prison. • Cybertron: home planet of the Transformers. It is usually seen in flashbacks. • The Metroplex: The Autobots' central headquarters on Cybertron, and the chambers to The Autobot High Council. • Fortress Maximus: The Elite Guard's base on Cybertron.
3.20.5 Production The series is animated by Japanese animation studios MOOK DLE, The Answer Studio (the Japanese studio that animated Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!), and Studio 4°C. Formerly known by the working title Transformers: Heroes, its new simplified title was designed to specifically distinguish it from the live-action film released in July 2007, months before the first episode aired.* [4] The series is distributed internationally by Entertainment Rights.* [7]
164 The show's supervising director is Matt Youngberg (Teen Titans, The Batman),* [8] with Cartoon Network vicepresident Sam as executive producer and Vincent Aniceto as line producer. Additionally, Beast Machines writer Marty Isenberg returned as the head writer for this series. Art director/lead character designer Derrick Wyatt (Teen Titans, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Legion of Super Heroes) created the controversial “brand new look”that this series introduces.
CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES live-action Transformers film series, with Bulkhead being portrayed into a younger version of Ironhide while the show's Ironhide is renamed Armorhide. Human characters are also renamed like Nanosec into Speed King in the Japanese version. In addition, some of the episodes have been reordered, or removed, to fit with the change in story. Notably, the episodes focusing on the Constructicons have been omitted, likely due to the lack of toys based on the characters (though the last Constructiconfocused episode was aired anyway). Despite all these edits, little actually suggests a tie-in to the films, as the dub is mostly faithful to the original American broadcast; the only mention of Bulkhead's new identity as Ironhide is a toy biography stating that he is a weapons specialist.
The first episode was due to be screened in full on November 3–4, 2007, at the NTFA Mini-Con, a Transformers convention in Arlöv, Sweden, but US toymaker Hasbro pulled their approval of the screening of the full episode, despite it being green-lighted by Hasbro Nordic at first. The episode had to be cut down to the first 11 min- In addition, the series features newly animated opening utes.* [9]* [10] and ending sequences.

The series premiered on Cartoon Network on September 14, 2007, to coincide with the release of the Re-Animated movie on DVD. The show was the only show on the network to be affected by the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike. The series made its Canadian premiere on Teletoon on Saturday September 6, 2008. It also airs on Boomerang in Australia. The US run of the show ended with the airing of the show's final episode on May 29, 2008. Although promoted to be the “first live action/animated series on Cartoon Network”, the show was not the first. The first was, in fact, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, which ran from 1994 to 2004; this was Cartoon Network's second original series overall (the first was The Moxy Show), as well. In addition, Cartoon Network aired Big Bag, a collaboration of both live action and animation, coproduced by The Jim Henson Company and Cartoon Network.

Production
Cartoon Network ordered 20 episodes, which were filmed from May to September 2007. In airing the show, Cartoon Network split the series into two seasons. The first season of the show premiered in September 2007 and lasted 13 episodes. The channel later aired the remaining seven episodes as the second season, starting in March 2008, one week after the airing of episode 13, which was considered part of the first season. The show's hiatus between seasons (actually between episodes 12 and 13) coincided with the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike, which led many to believe that writing on the show had been interrupted. In fact, writing and production for all episodes had been completed in September. However, the strike did prevent the writers from being involved in editing and post-production, including the controversial decision to add a laugh track beginning with episode 8, “Skate Night”. Following the strike, the series was not renewed.

Browngardt's work on the lattermost series began when its creator C.H. Greenblatt looked through one of his pitch bibles that he left at the studio.* [6] The show borrows elements and its design style from his Uncle Grandpa short, which was pitched to the network as a pilot. According to Browngardt, they were unsure about having a series centered around the titular character, and felt the monster characters from the pilot had more potential. In an interview with Cartoon Brew, Browngardt called the process of pitching his pilot an“amazing learning experience”because it allowed him to propose an idea to the network and see “how it can manipulate and change while you're working on it”.* [3] On the show, Sue Mondt served as art director, while Robert Alvarez and Larry Leichliter directed the animation.* [7] Browngardt depicted the production schedule as “really tight” , which called for them to manage their time and to pick their battles with the network.* [6] In the United States, the show is rated TV-PG.* [2] Referring to his encounters with the network regarding content, Browngardt learned to let go and find the“right balance” , as well as to ask himself, “Is my grandma going to notice this?"* [6] For the music, Mike Conte of the heavy metal band Early Man was employed as composer. The score, which incorporates heavy metal elements and“lots of riffage",* [8] was originally added to the animatics as a rough draft. Browngardt found that it harmonized with the imagery and what he envisioned for the design.* [3] Conte noted Browngardt's inspirations from Garbage Pail Kids and Don Martin of Mad magazine, but called the result “definitely its own thing”.* [8]

In his website Lineboil, Aaron Simpson compared it to Garbage Pail Kids and the works of Don Martin, two elements of his childhood.* [13] Amid Amidi of Cartoon Brew called Robert Ryan Cory's character designs“impressive”and“distinctively styled”.* [14] Abby Koenig of Houston Press compared its “ridiculous”nature to the film Little Monsters, and proposed that Howie Mandel (featured in the latter work) guest voice a monster on the show.* [15] Shannon O'Leary of Publishers Weekly wrote that the show, along with others on the network such as Adventure Time and Superjail!, bore resemblance to the aesthetics of established independent comics artists.* [16] Meanwhile, Jason Krell of io9 considered it a failure despite its influences from Adventure Time, which made way for many successful original series on the network.* [17] The episode “Nightmare Sauce”received multiple accolades, including at the 2012 Annecy International Animated Film Festival for “Best TV Production”(of which Browngardt was the recipient* [18]), and at the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards, where Cory and Chris Tsirgiotis were awarded “Outstanding Individual in Animation”.* [19] Cory also won at the 39th Annie Awards for“Character Design in a Television Production”, while Tsirgiotis, Sue Mondt, Daniel Elson and Mark Bodnar were collectively awarded“Production Design in a Television Production”.* [20] At the 40th Annie Awards, Thaddeus Paul Couldron was nominated for “Character Design in an Animated Television or Other Broadcast Venue Production”for his work on the episode “Secret Mountain Uncle Grandpa”.* [21]

Spin-off
Main article: Uncle Grandpa The Uncle Grandpa short that Browngardt had produced was eventually adapted as a full series of the same name,* [3] developed as part of the network's shorts development initiative at Cartoon Network. The series revolves around the titular character, who is simultaneously the grandfather and uncle of everyone in the world.* [22] Browngardt explained that while the new series would
retain some aspects of Secret Mountain, it would be a more lighthearted adaption for children. He ultimately expressed that he wanted“more variety in the music and be able to go [sic] sort of a happier place, though it does go dark and heavy at times”.* [3]

In February 2013, the series was put on 3.23.1 Production hiatus, but returned in June 2013.* [14] When Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe was created in 2007, Ben Bocquelet was hired in order to help people pitch their projects to the network.

The Problem Solverz is an American animated television series created by Ben Jones, a member of the art collective Paper Rad, for Cartoon Network. The series centers on the trio of Alfe, Roba, and Horace, as they solve the problems that plague their town, Farboro. Various characters from the series were conceived through Jones' education at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, with the main trio appearing in the Paper Rad animated DVD film, Trash Talking. The series was later pitched and published to Adult Swim's official website; the network later prompted Jones to retool it as a children's series for Cartoon Network.

Jones went on to create animation for television series such as Wonder Showzen and Yo * • Alfe (pronounced Alfé) is a large, fluffy, half man- Gabba Gabba!. [2] dog-anteater creature who was found and raised by Horace when he was young; in one episode, he claimed he lived in a cage as a child. He loves devouring large quantities of food, especially pizza, and acts impulsively during missions. Like a cat, he coughs up furballs whenever he chews his fur (voiced by Ben Jones). • Roba is the smartest member of them, being a half robot half human cyborg, who is incredibly insecure and anxious about everything. He is Horace's twin brother (also voiced by Ben Jones). • Horace is the calm and collected leader of the team, usually using common sense with his actions and taking care after Alfe, his companion. He is Roba's twin brother (voiced by Kyle Kaplan).
Around the same time as the release of Trash Talking,* [4] Jones ed executive producer Nick Weidenfeld to do a project for Cartoon Network's late-night programming block, Adult Swim: he created a pilot for the network entitled Neon Knome (which was produced by PFFR and Williams Street) featuring the protagonists, which was eventually published on the network's official website* [3] in 2010 as part of their “Big, Über, Network, Sampling”contest, sponsored by Burger King.* [6] The heads of the network backed the pilot,* [1] prompting Jones to migrate the premise to Cartoon Network proper* [3] and making him move to Cartoon Network Studios in Burbank, California, where the show was restructured as a children's series.* [1] In the United States, the program is rated TV-PG, denoting material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children.* [7] Although Jones explained that not much was changed,* [4] he was most relieved to hear that the character of Alfe was retained, calling it the “bottom line”of the offer.* [1]
To their aid is Tux Dog (voiced by John DiMaggio), an extremely wealthy dog who helps the Problem Solverz in some of their cases, but is just as often the source of their problems. He insults Roba for his personality flaws and Production appearance and speaks with a British accent.
3.24.2
Development
Concept and creation The Problem Solverz is an animated television series created by Ben Jones, that since his early age developed an interest in animation and comics.* [1] After moving out of Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh to central Massachusetts at the age of four, his father, Frank Jones, landed a job as a software engineer, bringing home the latest hardware with it. The town of Farboro, featuring a vibrant art style similar to the Surrounded by technology, he cited this as an influence works of Paper Rad on how he works as an artist.* [2] Jones later entered the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, where he developed characters from the series* [1] before approaching graphic novelist Christopher Forgues to form the art collective “Paper Radio”, later known as Paper Rad with artists Jessica and Jacob Ciocci in 2000.* [3] Jones had conceived the protagonists as early as 1996,* [3]* [lower-alpha 1] and early incarnations of the characters are featured in Paper Rad's animated DVD film, Trash Talking. Two shows within a show were created in 2006 and in 2008, and are respectively entitled “Alfe: Gone Cabin Carzy”[sic] and“Problem Solvers"; the first was always included in Trash Talking and details the trio when they are stuck in their abode as apocalyptic noises strike their neighborhood,* [4] while the second, that was instead released on DVD as a bonus to the periodical The Ganzfeld # 7,* [5] introduced the problem solving element of the show more that some of his main
A new production team was cast initially for the reboot, including the supervising director Greg Miller (creator of Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones?),* [3] and the character designers* [8] John Pham and Jon Vermilyea.* [3] The series was noted for its unique art style, with backgrounds and characters sporting vibrant colors and shapes in a similar vein* [1] of Paper Rad's other works.* [9] Jones sought inspiration through retro-style influences from music, pop culture and video games.* [1] References to video games appear frequently in the series, with Jones using them“more like religion": not just for comedic effect, but to invoke “layers of meaning” .* [4] Commenting further on the visuals, Jones dubbed it a reflection of a “new visual language”for animated television, he noted, that were evident in sibling series such as Adventure Time and Regular Show.* [1] The series staffed numerous indie cartoonists, including Vermi-
176 lyea, who worked as a character designer on Adventure Time. Martin Cendreda, Pham and Jones himself—technical director, lead designer and creator, respectively— contributed to the comic anthology series Kramers Ergot.* [8] The series was animated on Apple computers* [2] using Adobe Flash, a program which Jones used on his first Alfe projects in Massachusetts.* [1] In addition, he specified that Flash was used to animate the series directly instead of as a translation of ideas, and credited Eric Pringle for helping him through technical ; many of Pringle's colleagues from series such as Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and ¡Mucha Lucha! moved on to the series, forming a group of less than 15 full-time animators. During production of the first season, episodes were produced as quickly as a few weeks, which Jones credited to the animating environment. In contrast, story and scripting phases of an episode took months to complete for the season. Running 14-hour shifts,* [1] Jones eventually left Cartoon Network Studios to develop another animated series for the FOX's Saturday late-night programming block ADHD.* [10]
CHAPTER 3. THE ORIGINAL SERIES Lowry of Variety wrote that the art style and sound design failed to enhance the story. He felt that the series suffered from “being bizarre simply for its own sake” and called it“all experience, and even at a mere 15 minutes, an ordeal”.* [16] Writing for the Pittsburgh PostGazette, Rob Owen dubbed Jones the source of thanks or “blame”for viewers happening upon its“wild visual elements that look like graphics from an Atari 5200 video game”.* [2] While Devin D. O'Leary of the Weekly Alibi acknowledged the art style as reminiscent of Paper Rad's works, he warned viewers that,“take one glance at these coloring-book-gone-wrong images and they'll be seared onto your retinas for at least 48 hours.”* [9] Common Sense Media's Emily Ashby rated the series one star out of five, calling it “chaotic, loud, and virtually devoid of any content that could be considered worthwhile, especially for kids”.* [17]
Other reviewers from cartoon- and art-related publications praised the design; writing for The Comics Journal, Dan Nadel—a former publisher of Jones—wrote a piece applauding the show for being seen to such a broad audience. He wrote that he celebrated it “for a hard wrought vision I believe in, one I think is funny and humane and invaluable.”* [3] Writing positively in the Geek 3.24.3 Broadcast and reception Exchange, Liz Ohanesian wrote that the series is “filled with Lisa Frank colors”and found it analogous to the See also: List of The Problem Solverz episodes band Anamanaguchi: “something so different from the rest of the entertainment landscape that you never know * The series premiered on April 4, 2011 on Cartoon Net- if you'll find someone else who is into it as well.” [15] work.

Premise
Tower Prep is an exclusive school for people with special abilities. None of the students know where they are or how they had arrived there, and there's no escape. One moment Ian Archer was at home playing a video game; the next, he found himself waking up at Tower Prep with no memory of how he got there. Panicking, he tries to escape, and in the course of his failed attempt he meets three other students: Gabe, Suki and CJ. Throughout the series, the four friends make it their mission to uncover the mysteries behind Tower Prep and find a way to return to their normal lives. It is determined that they are on Earth., in a small peninsula inherited by the founder of Tower Prep. Tower Prep is a school that houses students that have unique powers. The peninsula is also home to many rare specimens of plants and animals from around the world, such as poison ivy and a venomous fly only found in South America.

Main characters • Ian Archer (Drew Van Acker) - Ian has the ability of Preflex, seeing things before they happen and react.* [11] He's a rebel who wants to discover the secrets of Tower Prep and is trying to escape from the strange school. His ability allows him to be exceptional in martial arts and physical fights. He uses his skills to defend the students who can't protect themselves from other students. He may be related to the founder of Tower Prep. Conner calls Ian“his liege”in the episode“Dreams”, which implies that his family has something to do with Tower Prep and Cornelius Tower. In the episode “Phone Home” Ian and CJ have their first kiss. • Gabriel “Gabe”Lexington Forrest (Ryan Pinkston) - Gabe has the ability of Hypersuasion, allowing him to talk almost anyone into doing anything. His Hypersuasion skill seems to be less effective the longer he stays at Tower Prep.* [12] He's the class clown, the guy that shoots sarcastic comments and the funny self-deprecating attitude when someone tries to pick on him. He is the school class president. He also has a crush on Suki. • Candice “CJ”Ward (Elise Gatien) - CJ has the ability to read people's body language, called Perception.* [13] CJ claims to have no memory of her life before Tower Prep. To everyone at Tower Prep, CJ is a textbook example of someone who follows “The Program.”She is the perfect student, one of the more popular girls in school and well liked by everyone; that is exactly what she wants everyone to think as she secretly plots to escape from the school. CJ is a master at playing both sides and hiding her true intentions. In the episode “Whisper”, she finds out that her abilities have increased allowing her to understand people from their handwriting. It is revealed in the episode “The Rooks”that she has a crush on Ian. In the episode “Phone Home” , CJ and Ian kiss. She tells him that she doesn't want him to die if he's never kissed a girl. In the episode “Snitch”, it is revealed that she is Heaster's daughter and that he forced her to tell him everything she knew. In the episode“Fathers”, her name is revealed to be Candace. Even though she is exposed as the snitch, she still cares very deeply about her friends and dreads losing them. After Ian knocks out the Heaster she still asks to go escape with them. She hasn't talked to her mother in a long time, so she agrees to do whatever her father commands on the condition that she gets to talk to her mother again. • Suki Sato (Dyana Liu) - Suki, from Tokyo, has the ability to imitate anything as long as she has heard the voice/sound at least once. She can replicate handwriting with 100% accuracy and also be able to
4.5. TOWER PREP mimic animal noises as seen in the episode “Field Trip”where she impresses Ray Snider by mimicking a lion's roar. Her power is known as Mimicry.* [14] She's a quiet, introspective girl whose bubbly personality shines through. She is“as quiet as a mouse” but also considered a“hottie”(by Ray Snider). Her father owns Sato Systems (formally known as SatoScientific), a well known electronics company that is the main technology provider for the school. They make everything electronic, including the security cameras and communication devices, as well Whisper 120, Whisper 119 and Whisper 023, the school's supercomputer. She has an older brother, Shinji, whom she once believed was dead, who also went to Tower Prep. She kisses Gabe in episode“Phone Home”after he tells her that he's never kissed a girl, although in the episode“Dreams”in her dream she kisses Ian which shows that she might have feelings for him also. In the episode “Fathers”, Suki's father tries to take her away from Tower Prep because she “isn't for Tower Prep and Tower Prep isn't for her”. Her father almost succeeds, until Ian defeats him and his bodyguards. Tower Prep staff The teachers of the school do not use their actual names. They are instead called by the subjects they teach. For example, if a teacher teaches math, they are simply called Math. The heaster of the school is simply called Heaster. If a teacher teaches two subjects, they are called by both. For example, if a teacher teaches both history and physical education, they are called Coach History. • Heaster (Ted Whittall) - Heaster insists that Tower Prep's purpose is solely to refine the exceptional students' abilities for the better, but there are hints that suggest he has other plans. He is possibly the actual leader of the Rooks, as Coach called him “Most Exalted One”in one of their talks. In the episode“Trust”it is revealed that he reports to a higher istrative board. In the episode“Snitch” , it is revealed that he is CJ's father and that he is trying to make Tower Prep like it was when Cornelius ran the school. He is secretly working against the head istration. Only 7 people know: Suki, Ian, CJ, Gabe, Cornelius Tower, Heaster himself, and one more person. • Coach (Dan Payne) - Coach is a former student of Tower Prep and a test subject for Corvus H-40, a chemical substance used as a “performance enhancer”, although it is implied that the Corvus H-40 has significant side effects. Both he and Heaster are Rooks , even though Heaster actively speaks out against them. Coach wears a watch with the Rooks emblem. It is possible that Coach no
183 longer has an ability due to Corvus H-40 abuse. It is also revealed in the episode “Snitch”that when Coach was a student at Tower Prep, he was incarcerated in the West Campus; he describes it as“the greatest thing you fear.” • Coach History (Richard Steinmetz) - He is the red buffer coach and the school's history teacher. He once told Ian that if he beat the gold team (regular coach's team) the coach would reveal all he knew of the school's history. In the process, it was discovered that the Gnomes are Tower Prep students. • Nurse (Karin Konoval) - She was a suspect in the Chemica Desin epidemic. Ian discovered that the true suspect was Ross Anderson, who stole the Chemica Desin during her work study in the clinic and modified it. When Ross Anderson was at the Heaster's Office, she didn't punish her, but instead asked how she modified the Chemica Desin. Connor later finds the Chemica Desin 2.0 which hints that they made more of the modified version that Ross created. • Dr. Specs (Alek Diakun) - He works in the medical lab hidden in the underground tunnels. There, he prepares new students by erasing their short-term memory with electronic static, then transports them to the campus using the underground tunnels. He may be the doctor seen in the old surveillance video footage strapping a student to a chair while Cornelius Tower tries to stop him. He is seen giving Conner Owens and later Gabe a mind-wipe at West Campus using“In my Dreams Tonight”by Cookie Tower and the Hypnotic Five. Secondary characters • Whisper 119 (voiced by Peggy Jo Jacobs) - It is the artificial intelligence that manages the school and serves as a“recruitment officer”by ing children who have exceptional abilities. She is shown to have emotions in episode the “Whisper"; Ian realizes she sent him the “handwritten”note saying “I'm scared, too”, which CJ analyzes as “caring, artistic, and motherly.”Whisper indirectly helps Ian, Gabe, Suki, and CJ out of some tight situations. In the episode“Phone Home”, Whisper 119 was upgraded to Whisper 120 but as one last act against the school she opens the door to the roof of one of the school's abandoned buildings for Gabe, Suki, C.J and Ian right before she “dies”and gets upgraded. After Conner's return it is revealed that she was upgraded because she was developing a conscience that allowed students to temporarily exit the school through the holographic/hallucinogenic wall. • Ray Snider (Richard Harmon) - Ray is a student at Tower Prep who was one of Ian's initial roommates. He clashes with Ian after Ian moves out of
184
CHAPTER 4. LIVE ACTION SERIES their room. He considers Suki a“hottie”, but he also cares deeply for Suki. In the episode “The Rooks” he is a member of the elite fraternity. His ability is Hyper-strength. Along with Emily and Fenton, Ray seems to suspect Ian, CJ, Suki, and Gabe's plan to escape after they discover maps of the school grounds in episode “Field Trip”.
• Calvin “Cal”Rice (Izaak Smith) - Cal is Ian's main antagonist. He is the captain of the gold Buffer team and is the so-called head jock of the school. He constantly pushes Ian around and seems threatened by him. His ability is enhanced hearing. In the episode “Field Trip”he is supposedly captured and believed to be turned into a gnome but was actually his own choice. He comes back in episode “Trust”stating he has no recollection of what happened after he was caught by the gnomes. He clearly has feelings for CJ. • Conner Owens (Andrew Dunbar) - Is part of a group trying to revert Tower Prep back to it original purpose. He can move through the holographic wall, with the help of Whisper 119, with things Ian and his friends need. When the system was upgraded to Whisper 120 they found a weak spot in West Campus. Conner goes down in the tunnels and is taken to West Campus by the gnomes. Conner gave Ian and Gabe Chemica Desin 2.0 and said that it was the end of everything. • Cornelius Augustus Tower (David Smith, Matthew Thiessen) - As a former magician, fighter pilot during the first World War, and jazz artist, Cornelius Tower is the founder of Tower Prep and loved his students. The school was later taken over and he was betrayed. In an audio story of his life, he is cut off while saying 'they're turning my students into-'. He has an office in the back of a laboratory. He is missing an eye which he left in a glass paperweight. Ian may be related or close to him, since a picture is found of them together in a garden. In the episode “Fathers”, it is revealed that he is still alive, working with Heaster. • Shinji Sato (Terry Chen) - Suki Sato's older brother whom Suki assumed had been killed. In the episode “Phone Home”, it was revealed that he was instead a student at Tower Prep. He knows about the observation center and also how to get into west campus. He came back to take Suki back to Tokyo and their family.
, he takes Ian's place as Ray's and Don's roommate, and in the episode“Election”, he falls ill when running against Emily Wright in the presidential election. In the episode“Field Trip”, he is assigned CJ as his partner. His ability is Night Vision, but it may be associated with his voice. In the episode“Snitch” it is seen that he hangs out with Ray Snider, and they both suspect that Ian, CJ, Suki and Gabe are trying to escape. • Emily Wright (Jodi Balfour) - Emily is the former class president of Tower Prep who lost her reelection bid to Gabe. She first appears in the episode “Election”, where she meets Ian while trying to find the cause behind the illness of her original opponent, Fenton.

Reception
Critical reception The premiere episode of Tower Prep received positive reviews. Brian Lowry of Variety said the show's mysteries might appeal to children ... and adults, calling it“a series that points the way toward a best-case scenario”for Cartoon Network's live-action programming.* [26] Robert Lloyd in his Los Angeles Times review praised the show's energy, casting, and writing in spite of its modest production values.* [27] Both reviewers noted the series shares elements with The Prisoner and other works such as Harry Potter, Lost and The X-Files. Todd VanDerWerff of The A.V. Club stated that while the pilot episode suffered from low production values and murky fight scenes, it benefited from a strong primary cast, Dini's use of superpowers, and potentially intriguing moments. Further, he specifically pointed to the involvement of creator Paul Dini and producers Glen Morgan and Darin Morgan as reasons he believed the show will grow into a compelling series.* [28] In the 2011 Leo Awards, Brenton Spencer was nominated for Best Direction in a Youth or Children’ s Program or Series for the episode “Dreams”.* [29]

Other Company Productions 5.1 Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is an American animated fantasycomedy television series created by Sam for Cartoon Network. It premiered on November 19, 2004 and ended its run on June 27, 2006, with a total of three seasons and thirty-four episodes, leaving five episodes unaired. The series was produced by Renegade Animation and Cartoon Network Studios.
5.1.1
Overview
Secondary characters include: Jang-Keng (Grey DeLisle) and Tekirai (Janice Kawaye), the duo's pet cats who enjoy tormenting Kaz; Harmony (Sandy Fox), a six-yearold girl who is the self-proclaimed “Number One Fan” of Puffy AmiYumi and (later) Kaz and constantly stalks them; Eldwin Blair (Nathan Carlson), a sinister land developer who tries to tear down beloved places for his own selfish needs; King Chad (Katie Leigh), a selfish “bad boy”who is a master of the card game Stu-Pi-Doh! (a parody of Yu-Gi-Oh!); the Talent Suckers (Nathan Carlson; Corey Burton), a vampire rock trio from Transylvania; and Atchan (Rob Paulsen), a caricature of Vo Atsushi (lead singer of the pop band New Rote'ka) who speaks in third-person and thinks he is a superhero. The animated Puffy AmiYumi travel all over the world in their tour bus. While appearing the same size as a regular bus on the outside, it appears to have enough internal space to house the girls' rooms (including full-sized beds), Kaz's room, their equipment, televisions, and computers, among other things. In the episode“Domo”, Kaz refers to an upstairs area. It also seems capable of running on autopilot, as Kaz, Ami, and Yumi are sometimes sitting in the rear cabin of the bus while traveling. Occasionally, the rear door has been opened to receive packages delivered by a boy on a scooter.
The main cast of the show. From left to right: Ami, Kaz, Yumi, Jang-Keng and Tekirai.
Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi follows the adventures of two 16year-old pop stars and best friends: Ami Onuki (Janice Kawaye), a peppy, optimistic, and cute schoolgirl; and Yumi Yoshimura (Grey DeLisle), a cynical, sarcastic, rough, and tough punk rocker. Both are based off the real Japanese pop duo Puffy AmiYumi, but with different appearances and exaggerated personalities. They travel around the world on their customized tour bus, along with their well-intentioned yet greedy manager, Kaz Harada (Keone Young). From rockin' out at a concert to hanging out in their hometown of Tokyo, the duo take the world by storm with their musical talent, trend-setting style, and humor, dishing out lessons in J-pop justice and establishing the international language of “cool”along the way.
During the first season, the show included live-action clips of the real Ami and Yumi making childish commentary (in English and non-subtitled Japanese) at the beginning and end of each episode. They only performed short clips at the beginning of the show during the second and third seasons. Starting with the second season, the duo was sometimes shown holding title cards introducing the cartoon segments. At the end of the episode“Sitcomi Yumi” , Ami and Yumi watched television and saw the animated Kaz with the real Ami and Yumi. The real PUFFY performs the cartoon's theme song (which is also in Japanese, German, Spanish, and Portuguese in the respective regions), and many episodes feature one or more of the duo's songs playing in the background, along with music by their Puerto Rican muse Andy Sturmer. Though the characters speak English, the script intersperses their vernacular with Japanese speech, especially

CHAPTER 5. OTHER COMPANY PRODUCTIONS
5.2 The Secret Saturdays The Secret Saturdays is an American animated television series created by Canadian cartoonist Jay Stephens (creator of the Emmy-winning cartoon Tutenstein) for Cartoon Network. It debuted on October 3, 2008, in the United States. The series follows the adventures of the Saturdays, a family of cryptozoologists that work to keep the truth about cryptids from getting out, in order to protect both the human race and the creatures themselves. The Saturdays travel the Earth searching for cryptids to study and battling twisted villains like the megalomaniac V.V. Argost.* [1] The series is influenced by the style of '60s-era Hanna-Barbera action series (such as Jonny Quest) and is combined with Jay Stephens' own personal interest in cryptozoology. The show finished its run on January 30, 2010 and is currently in reruns airing on Boomerang as of December 5, 2011.* [2] The Saturdays appear in Ben 10: Omniverse episode "T.G.I.S." teaming up with Ben Tennyson and Rook Blonko in stopping the villain Dr. Animo who has revived the Saturdays' archenemy V.V. Argost. The episode confirms The Secret Saturdays and "Ben 10" share the same reality (references to Ben 10 have previously appeared in a few episodes in The Secret Saturdays).
5.2.1
Origin
When Stephens first pitched the show, it was called Cryptids, after the monsters undiscovered by science. It involved a crack team of globe-trotting cryptozoologists that were uniquely qualified for the job because they were once cryptids themselves. Okapi, Komodo, and Megamouth, along with their 9-year-old human mascot, Francis, served as a sort of anti-detective team. They scooted across land, sea, and air in what Stephens called a Campercopter and their goal was to preserve the mystery of the Earth’s strangest creatures before they were exposed by humans or destroyed by the cryptids' nemesis, Monsieur Dodo. This version got him nowhere with many networks, though they all did show interest for some time.* [3] Months later, the show was picked up by Cartoon Network, due to the network (at the time) wanting more action shows due to the success of Ben 10 and Ben 10: Alien Force.* [4] 9-year-old Francis became 11-year-old Zak Saturday and many of the original characters were canned. For a time, the network wanted the show's name to be The Secret Adventures Of Zak Saturday, but it was later changed.* [5]* [6] Unlike most mystery shows, the goal of the heroes of The Secret Saturdays is not to reveal the existence of cryptids, but to hide it.* [7] The art style of the show was influenced by the artwork of Alex Toth and 1960s Hanna-Barbera action cartoons, such as Jonny Quest and The Herculoids.* [8]* [9] In July 2008, Cartoon Network started a viral cam-
paign for the show. Several commercials for a website called CryptidsAreReal.com aired on Cartoon Network.* [10] Each commercial featured a pet of the Saturday family: one showed Komodo, another Fiskerton, and a final one showed Zon. One area of the program's website also held a“secret”document:* [11] while most of the words on it were blacked-out, the names of Drew and Doc (two of the main characters) were revealed. The document also talked about a creature discovered outside of Nottinghamshire, England. Though the first word was blacked-out, the paper said a “phantom”had been the newly discovered creature. It was implied that the creature was the Fiskerton Phantom, a cryptid reported to have lived outside of Nottinghamshire and commonly done by this website, would be Fiskerton, a main character in the show. To back this conclusion up, Zak stated in one episode that Fiskerton was lucky because he was saved by Doc and Drew, also stated in the document. Typed at the bottom of the document was the name “Agent Epsilon”. This is a character in the show. The website also showed a blueprint of the Saturdays family's airship. Another site was linked to CryptidsAreReal.com: the page for an organization called Ten Hero Tusk (an anagram of“the Kur stone”), which states that its explorers are“D. Blackwell, B. Finster, and L. Van Rook”, all of which are characters in the show.* [12] During San Diego Comic-Con 2008, booklets about a show called Weirdworld (the show-within-a-show) were given out, with the website for it on the back of them.* [13] Unlike CryptidsAreReal.com, this one couldn't be traced back to Cartoon Network. Later, commercials for Weirdworld aired on Cartoon Network for a few weeks before a commercial for The Secret Saturdays itself was aired on October 3, 2008.
5.2.2 Plot Main article: List of The Secret Saturdays episodes Zak Saturday and his parents, Doc and Drew, are a family of planet-saving scientists called“The Secret Saturdays.” Living in a hidden base, they are part of a secret organization of scientists known as The Secret Scientists who protect mankind against the hidden and terrifying things of the Earth. In the series, folktales aren't just legends, but actual mysteries that the Saturday family must solve. Traveling all over the planet, the Saturdays explore ancient temples and bottomless caves, as well as battle with villains which includes the evil V.V. Argost (who hides his evil plans under his TV show Weird World) and a masked mercenary named Van Rook, who specializes in the capture of cryptids. Scouring the globe in search of cryptids, the Saturdays attempt to keep the existence of these unusual beasts secret, to protect both mankind and the creatures themselves. The Saturdays and their exotic cryptid pets are a loving bunch, trying to work through everyday family matters and squabbles in-between their ad-
5.2. THE SECRET SATURDAYS ventures.* [14] During both seasons the Saturday family is on a race against V.V. Argost to stop Argost from controlling Kur, a mythical all-powerful beast that can supposedly raise a cryptid army. Zak Saturday has special powers that can control these creatures.

Plot
Promo image featuring all the characters, with Thrasher (left) and Blastus (right) in the foreground
Thrasher and Blastus are two teenage robots who live on the planet of Insanus. Their planet is inhabited by murderous robots who seek to kill one another for no apparent reason. Slightly less horrific than their peers, the duo seek to make it through high school, and navigate their lives with mixed results. Thrasher (Patton Oswalt), a tall and lanky robot, wishes to gain the affections of an attractive female robot named Maimy (Jessie Cantrell). Meanwhile, Blastus (John Gemberling), a small and rotund robot, just wants to be popular. As with Thrasher and unlike most robots on Insanus, he is mostly sensitive and non-criminal, much to the disapproval of his mother. In his quest to be cool, however, he is incredibly impulsive
Buckley (pictured) collaborated with Deasy to pitch concepts to the network starting in 2007.
The series was created by Michael Buckley and Joe Deasy and produced by World Leaders Entertainment in New York.* [1] It was originally created with the working title Horrorbots.* [2] The network had ed Buckley to create a series three years prior to the broadcast of Robotomy. He asked for Deasy's help, and together they pitched five ideas, to which all were rejected. Six months later, a second wave of ideas proved equally unsuccessful. Reaching their third trial, also six months later, the two pinpointed the rejections on them thinking within the network's mindset as opposed to their own. Frustrated with the project, they submitted a rough premise of Robotomy, which was accepted, much to their surprise. Buckley described the plot as when "Superbad meets the

Wade called the storylines “pretty thin”and its focus on “the imagery that sells the metaphor of school as a battlefield” .* [8] Aaron Simpson of Lineboil called the storylines“irreverent”and the chaos similar to Superjail!, “minus the dismembered bodies”.* [2] The series was eventually added to Netflix in 2013 after the service announced a deal with Warner Bros. to include programming from Cartoon Network series, among other shows.* [7]
According to crew, the style of animation required a distinct set of skills, compared to another production by World Leaders, The Venture Bros. While that series was animated by the same team that did Batman: The Animated Series, Robotomy was done by the Chowder production team. In an interview, it was said that the style of the former team follows“perspective, anatomy, and realworld physics in animation”, while the latter team laid its focus on“the humor of the movement and timing, squash and stretch,”* [3] among other principles. Co-executive 5.3.4 Episodes producer Christy Karacas's unique art style also proved laborious for them in that it provided “very clean polished lines”* [3] over more organic drawings.

ReThe show's color has been described by Karacas as a major part of the visuals; inspirations included Paul Klee and Katsuhiro Otomo, as well as the concept of fluorescence. The team wanted to create“a bold, fresh look”* [3] that reflected the universe, and so they chose to be minimal with their palette to attract attention to the line work. In addition, they eschewed the use of vivid primary colors and instead chose more secondary colors. However, they took to accentuate the scenes with “pop colors”that mimic the glow of neon lighting, and lastly they added vertical reflections to the floors and grunge textures to the backgrounds.* [3]

Broadcast and reception
Robotomy premiered on October 25, 2010 on Cartoon Network, following a new episode of Mad.* [1] A crew member from World Leaders established that the network was doing more to blend its Adult Swim brand with its primary youth demographic. The series was ultimately targeted for an older demographic than other series on the network, although it still had to be appropriate to the “broad age range.”* [3] The debut broadcast was seen by 1.7 million viewers in the United States, acquiring a 0.2 Nielsen rating for adults aged 18 to 49.* [4] The season received an average of 1.5 million viewers, also with a Nielsen rating of 0.2.* [5] After ten episodes, the series concluded on January 24, 2011,* [6] making it the shortest run of any original series on the network.* [7] Renn Brown of Cinematic Happenings Under Development noted Oswalt, a high-profile actor, as contradictory to the show's short-lived run.* [7] Will Wade of Common Sense Media gave the series a lukewarm review, finding it suitable for older teens while calling it appealing to those

European and North American-co productions 6.1 Hero: 108 Hero: 108 is an European/American animated television series that has aired on Cartoon Network and the Cartoon Network international cable network, and Kabillion OnDemand channel in the United States that was created by Yang-Ming Tarng.

launched through a tunnel and out over the water. When they arrive where ApeTrully is being held, a battle or contest ensues, during which special talents or abilities of the animals are revealed, often something based on their nature. After the battle or contest, the animals usually concede to First Squad's skills saying through translation by ApeTrully (unless the animal rulers can talk) that they would be honored to Big Green. After ing, the animals often are assigned a particular duty at Big Green based on their demonstrated skills, which may help solve a problem introduced in a subplot. The show is very loosely based on ancient Chinese novel the Water Margin focusing on the exploits of First Squad and Second Squad.* [9]
6.1.2 Characters Big Green Big Green is a peace-making force with goals to restore peace between the humans and animals:
Synopsis
Many years ago in the Hidden Kingdom, animals and humans lived in perfect harmony until an evil trickster named HighRoller arrived and fooled the animals into thinking humans were their enemies. Chaos reigned in the Hidden Kingdom until Commander ApeTrully formed a task force called Big Green to reunite the animals and humans while fighting the forces of High Roller and the Zebra Brothers. The storyline in a typical episode follows a formula, although the formula varies and several episodes depart from it: Commander ApeTrully goes on a mission to the castle of an animal kingdom to make peace and ask its inhabitants to Big Green, bringing a gift of gold as a token of goodwill. The animals generally dismiss the gift, and usually capture ApeTrully who calls for help from First Squad. of First Squad (usually everyone except Mr. No Hands, who does come along on occasion) deploy by descending through a maze of tubes and landing on turtles fitted with tank treads, and then are 195
• Commander ApeTrully (voiced by Ian James Corlett) - Commander ApeTrully is the eccentric, well-meaning leader of Big Green. Commander ApeTrully formed Big Green in hopes of restoring friendship between animals and humans. In most episodes, Commander ApeTrully would end up captured by the animals he visits when trying to make peace with them with piles of gold. When in danger, he activates the device on his head to call for First Squad. In "Parrot Castle", he is revealed to be the king of the Monkeys (Monkey King) in disguise as he was the first to see through HighRoller's lies, but keeps it a secret to preserve Big Green's morale (in his words, he does not want humans to know it was a monkey who led them). In "Shark Castle" and "Crab Castle", he would accompany First Squad to the underwater castles when riding in Sammo the Whale in order to make peace with the aquatic animals that way. His name is a joke referring to the fact that

CHAPTER 6. EUROPEAN AND NORTH AMERICAN-CO PRODUCTIONS he's an ape, truly. In the Chinese dub, he was named Song Chang and there was no explanation saying he was a monkey. Classified on the official website as Hero 001. The only thing he can do is use his monkey skills and use almost an endless supply of gold seen on every episode. In "The Rise of Lin Chung", it is shown that Commander ApeTrully owns a diamond that is larger than his body.
• Woo the Wise (voiced by Adrian Petriw) - Woo the Wise is a human inventor who was the first person to be convinced to Big Green. At some points, his robe tends to rise up. He wears a fake mustache to make himself look older. A running gag is that he says that he knows what he is doing, yet he really has no idea what to do in his head, thinking “My head is as empty as a balloon!". In a flashback that was seen in "Folk Game Competition II", he was a former classmate of HighRoller. In "Pitched Battle of the Air Force", Woo the Wise invented a special crystal that could assemble animals into one creature, which he did when he tested on four animals allied with Big Green (Elephant King, Peacock Queen, Octopus King, and Scorpion King) and later merged two hens, Snake King, Crocodile King, and Deer King into a Chimeric Dragon to fight High Roller's fake Black Dragon. In "The Bronze Giant", Woo the Wise makes up the blueprints for upgrading Big Green base into a mobile battle station and works on it with the other of Big Green. Classified on the official website as Hero 003. First Squad The Big Green's elite warriors. Among its are: • Mr. No Hands (voiced by Ian James Corlett) Classified as Hero 020, Mr. No Hands is the military leader of Big Green's First Squad though he does not go on missions as often as his teammates. He is a strict but kindhearted human who is easily irritated by the strong-willed warriors under his charge. The tassel of his hat is capable of spinning like a helicopter, allowing him to fly. The hat itself can shoot dangerous darts at his enemies. He keeps himself in a stockade because he cannot stop tickling himself if his hands were free, though Woo's attempt to cure No Hands leads him to now use the stockade to keep his hands from hitting anything in punching distance. Mr. No Hands was created during Hero 108's Chinese debut, but his ability to fly and his personality as a strict leader were never mentioned there. • Lin Chung (voiced by Andrew Francis) - Classified as Hero 006, Lin Chung is known by some as the most accomplished, most skilled warrior in all of Big Green. He possesses the legendary Panther Vision,
which allows him to see great distances, or to see the world in slow motion while he moves with speed. He wields a staff that can shoot edible bamboo shoots out at enemies. Lin Chung's also has his “Master Stroke”in his arsenal which is devastating to all enemies. This move involves a great leap into the air while spinning his staff. He catches the staff, which propels his full body into a spin, projecting him at his opponent with massive force which was proven in "Rabbit Castle". He has a hobby of drawing and sometimes dropping out of battles just to draw when he finds an inspiration like in the episode “Elephant Castle”. In reality, his drawings are awful, but his friends do not tell him that so he will not go into a state of depression up until Woo the Wise made a comment about art not being better than science in "Pitched Battle of the Air Force". His drawing skills got better as the series progressed. He is also an honorable member of the Air Force as he was the only member of First Squad to each of the tests required to assist the Air Force. If his First Squad team cannot find him, they know to look for Lin Chung in the bamboo forest where he mediates, calmly waiting standing on his staff for more bamboo shoots to grow because he is using them for ammunition. Unfortunately, he is often distracted from battle by an intriguing image that he feels he must paint. A gag in "Shark Castle" is that Lin Chung can create great art, but only unintentionally (like being distracted or by accident) which would get him frustrated. In the Chinese dub, he was unofficially credited as PantherEye in the Chinese CGI promos (possibly from the Panther Vision) and there was no explanation of him being an artist. He, ApeTrully and HighRoller are the only characters that had names which were changed. It is later revealed that Lin Chung was trained by Tien Kwan during the events of "The Rise of Lin Chung", gaining the ability to convert chaos energy into harmonious energy while named new leader of First Squad. The Harmonic energy has shown to make Lin Chung seemingly omnipotent, as he was shown to fly, breathe underwater, create air bubbles, generate force fields, use chlorokinesis (control over plants), shoot energy blasts from his body and undo the effects of chaotic energy, all through the power of his harmonic energy. In "The Yeti & Phoenix", it is revealed that every member of Big Green has harmonic energy, but Lin Chung is the only member who can channel and use it. In "Animals Inside", it is revealed that Lin Chung holds the Panther Spirit when he, Mighty Ray, and Mystique Sonia enter the Spirit Cave and are transformed into their inner animals. In this form, he es himself off as the Panther King in a plot to rescue Commander ApeTrully from HighRoller. • Jumpy Ghostface (voiced by Brian Drummond)
6.1. HERO: 108 - Classified as Hero 088, Jumpy Ghostface is the King of the Rabbits. He is a talented, straight-ahead fighter who dives headfirst into dangerous battles without flinching an ear. He may look cute as a bunny, but Jumpy is not the sort of animal you would want to meet in combat. He ed Big Green after being defeated in a jump rope battle. His weapon of choice is a jump-rope. He also uses carrots as weapons, either throwing them like shurikens or using them as grenades. He can wrap his ears around his head like a ninja mask. He also has a habit of daydreaming, even in the heat of battle. Whenever someone looks into Jumpy's swirling eyes when he's daydreaming, they end up in Jumpy's daydream. Jumpy Ghostface also has a soft spot for insects and will not let anyone harm them. Jumpy is slowly learning human language by attending classes with Parrot King at Big Green. He has an active imagination and his thought balloons often convey unique solutions to difficult problems mainly interpreted by Lin Chung. In “Ninja Fight,”it was shown that Jumpy Ghostface was selected to be successor of the previous Rabbit King instead of Spotter the Rabbit. In "Monster Castle", Twin Masters hit Jumpy Ghostface with his chaotic energies where the side effects caused Jumpy Ghostface to dream up dream versions of Bearstomp, Tri-Puppy (a Cerberus-like monster), and Moosey Ghostface (a moose monster) whenever he slept. Using a special machine built by Woo the Wise and Mr. No Hands, Jumpy was able to dream up a giant version of himself in order to sent the dream monsters back to the Dream World. As the chaotic energies in Jumpy wore off, Jumpy then said goodbye to his giant counterpart as it went back into the Dream World. He is also known to always hold a carrot in his mouth like a large cigar in the series. • Mystique Sonia (voiced by Kelly Sheridan) - Classified as Hero 103, Mystique Sonia is a tough, seasoned warrior. She is usually bickering with Mighty Ray. She can use her long tongue in battle to fight off enemies, using it like a whip and spinning it around to produce winds. Yaksha can also pull out a shard of ice which Mystique Sonia blows on it with her spinning tongue in order to produce strong and cold winds that freeze her opponents. She possesses seeds that grow freshly cooked buns when she spits on them for food. She can also play the flute. She likes flowers, decorations, and other pretty things. While powerful, she is also a total girl. It is not unheard of her for to take down Mighty Ray in a wrestling competition and then decide to redecorate the First Squad Briefing Room. Mystique Sonia is ired by many boy heroes, especially by the soldiers in the Big Green Army. The Sailor Brothers have a terrible crush on her as well. But woe to the one who tells Mystique Sonia he loves her. Since
197 she is cursed with a spell, anyone who tells her he loves her three times in a row turns into a Yaksha. Mystique Sonia has a soft spot in her heart for animals and is very fond of both Elephant and Panda Kings, as well as the Turtle Cannons. Sonia often feeds First Squad by growing magic buns. She has many different kinds of seeds that she throws on the ground. When Mystique Sonia spits on these seeds they instantly grow and provide various powers. Mighty Ray and Mystique Sonia have an interesting relationship. In "Animals Inside", it is revealed that Mystique Sonia holds the Swan Spirit when she, Lin Chung, and Mighty Ray enter the Spirit Cave and are transformed into their inner animals. In this form, she es herself off as the Swan Queen in a plot to rescue Commander ApeTrully from HighRoller. Mystique Sonia's swan form enables her to produce winds from her wings. In the Chinese CGI promos, there is no explanation showing her ability to stretch her tongue but it does explain that she grew buns. • Yaksha - Due to a spell cast on Mystique Sonia, anyone who declares their love for her three times turns into a Yaksha. Yaksha is a purple and pink creature which rests upon Mystique Sonia's head like a hat. It is also an extremely flexible and stretchable being shown to turn into various forms to aid Mystique Sonia like an accessory, a dress, and a trampoline. It can even extend its arms to propel Mystique Sonia forward. By putting Yaksha's eyes over her own eyes, Mystique Sonia can see heat and the body heat given of by animals. Curiously, this ability works on chameleons despite the fact that they do mot give off heat. Yaksha can also put his arms out like plane wings and if Mystique Sonia does her tongue attack from a short radius as if her tongue were a planes propeller, Mystique Sonia can fly. When Mystique Sonia gets mad at Yaksha for his jealousy as seen in "Scorpion Castle" and "Sheep Castle", he will usually rest on Mighty Ray's head. When Mystique Sonia is not mad at Yaksha, he usually gives her a rose. It is unknown who was the first to fall for Sonia, but in "Liger Castle", he was killed in action as a Yaksha. It was soon replaced by a new Yaksha who was once a Tank Army member and a devoted member of Mystique Sonia's fan club. In "Scorpion Castle", when Yaksha ate 100 buns he transformed into a robot-like Yaksha with Lin Chung for the head, Sonia and Jumpy for the hands, and Mighty Ray and Mr. No Hands for the legs. In the Chinese dub, references of Yaksha and Mystique Sonia's relationship were never mentioned and his voice is completely different from the North American dub.

CHAPTER 6. EUROPEAN AND NORTH AMERICAN-CO PRODUCTIONS
• Mighty Ray (voiced by Ian James Corlett) - Classified as 025, Mighty Ray is a warrior of First Squad. Mighty Ray was once a member of Mr. No Hands' giant foosball team. They were playing a match, but it was postponed as HighRoller, the Zebra Brothers, Bear Stomp and some of the toughest animal kings attacked the stadium. Mighty Ray defeated the animal kings, but the Zebra Brothers used their ghost lanterns to turn Mighty Ray's eyes to stone. Mr. No Hands took Mighty Ray to a temple where Commander ApeTrully took Mighty Ray to see a giant stone skeleton monkey,who traded his own eyes for Mighty Ray's eyes. He has the power to shoot electrical bolts of energy from his eyeballs. To recharge his eyeballs, Mighty Ray must eat more bananas which he dislikes. The reason Mighty Ray dislikes bananas is because when he first tried out his magical electrical eyeballs, he figured that the more bananas Mighty Ray eats at once,the more powerful his eyes get. But when Mighty Ray tried to defeat HighRoller (for payback on turning his original eyes to stone), Mighty Ray ate too many bananas, which overloaded his eyeballs causing bolts of electricity to fire every where. ApeTrully said Mighty Ray was lucky he didn't go blind.He can also form a giant eyeball and emit sonic waves to confuse his enemy as seen in "Rabbit Castle". His eyeballs are also removable. He is able to change the properties of the lightning by pressing on his left eye which allows him to shoot at single targets or at a whole group. Even though his energy bolts are his main attack, he is quite formidable at close range with his bare hands. He is intensely jealous of Lin Chung being praised as the finest warrior in First Squad and jumps at chances to best him. Mighty Ray also goes by the name of Mr. Comedy when performing all sorts of comedy. Mighty Ray is definitely the burly force of First Squad. More of a doer than a thinker, Mighty Ray takes great pride in being the right guy for any job even if he's actually not. However, his overzealous and sometimes inept nature can occasionally win the day. Mighty Ray enjoys loud burps, farts and bad comedy all of which are usually his own. His eyeballs can also be used as lanterns or thrown like grenades. Sometimes they pop out of his head and slide away, making them very difficult to find. Mighty Ray's signature yell is “I am Mighty Ray! Fear my eyeballs!" Mystique Sonia is the only member of First Squad who knows Mighty Ray is afraid of the dark as seen in "Crocodile Castle". One of the symbols on his eye seems to be " 電" or “Diàn”, meaning “electricity”. In the Chinese dub, he touches his eyeballs to charge them up to shoot instead of eating bananas. In "Animals Inside", it is revealed that Mighty Ray holds the Boar Spirit when he, Lin Chung, and Mystique Sonia enter the Spirit Cave and are transformed into their inner animals. In this form, he es himself off
as the Boar King in a plot to rescue Commander ApeTrully from High Roller. Mighty Ray's boar form involves him eating bananas in order to shoot electric bolts from his tusks. Second Squad The Big Green's secondary warriors. They are jealous of First Squad and constantly at odds with them to prove their worth. Among its are: • Alpha Girl Latifah (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain) - The brown-skinned Oni-like leader of Big Green's Second Squad with long black hair and sharp claws who serves as a rival to Mr. No-Hands. She wields a spiked club in battle. She is classified as Hero 101. • Golden Eye Husky (voiced by Brian Drummond) Golden Eye Husky is the King of the Ligers who became a member of Big Green's Second Squad after ing Big Green. He seems to be a rival to Jumpy Ghostface since they are both animals. He is classified as Hero 093. • Kowloon (voiced by Ian James Corlett) - A karate warrior. He seems to be a rival to Lin Chung. In Hero 108 online, he wields a staff. Classified as Hero 023. His major role outside of Second Squad was the second season premiere "The Rise of Lin Chung" serving as Lin Chung's replacement for First Squad, despite not being taken seriously that much. But as soon as he saw Lin Chung in combat, he grew a fond of First Squad and actually has a friendship with them but still goes jealous over their success. • Hurricane Lee (voiced by Scott McNeil) - A large, gray-skinned, powerfully built member of Big Green's Second Squad and brother of Archer Lee. He wields two axes in battle. It might be possible that he has a rivalry with Mystique Sonia. He doesn't speak until "Second to None". He is classified as Hero 022. • Archer Lee (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain in Season 1) - The blue-skinned, armored archery member of Big Green's Second Squad and brother of Hurricane Lee. It is possible that he might have a rivalry with Mighty Ray. Archer Lee and Golden Eye Husky are the only characters to be created during Hero 108's Chinese debut. He is classified as Hero 009. Big Green Air Force A part of Big Green's army that specializes in air battles. They dress in white and use large jet-shaped firecrackers as jets and giant afros inside their hats as air brakes and parachutes. Among the are:

Classified as Hero 065. • Mano - The member of Big Green's Air Force with an eyepatch. Classified as Hero 083. • Air Force Staff - The generic staff that serve the Air Force. Other • Red-Face Kwan (voiced by Eric Bauza) - Classified as Hero 005, he is a human that leads the Infantry of Big Green. He is named Red-Face Kwan because a crab is clamped on his bottom enhancing his anger. When the crab is removed, he makes a funny face as seen in "Lion Castle". He is a direct reference to Guan Yu. • Sailor Brothers (voiced by Brian Drummond) Three green-skinned brothers who head up Big Green's Navy. They have a habit of collecting string in order to make their fishing nets and are good ring throwers due to them always throwing life preservers to rescue drowning people. They have a major crush on Mystique Sonia. Classified as Heroes 028, 029 and 030. In "Strongest Punch & Kick,”the Sailor Brothers combine with Jumpy Ghostface to form a fighting formation in order to fight the Gorilla-Roo formation. • Rattle Diva (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain) - A geisha guitarist who loves to play for anyone she comes in with and hates those who upstage her during her concerts like when Mighty Ray and Mystique Sonia ruined her concert by getting on stage and performing with her in "Pandaffe Castle". She can also turn her dress into a rocker outlet and play heavy metal songs. She also wears a wig in her geisha appearance, but removes it when she appears in her rocker costume. She plays a pipa. • Sammo the Whale (voiced by Andrew Francis) Classified as Hero 044, Sammo is a whale that serves as transportation for Big Green and the Navy when it comes to missions at sea. His cowardice is what had
199 the other whales drive him away causing his tears to flood the planet. Commander ApeTrully convinced him to Big Green. Woo the Wise invented a device that attaches to Sammo the Whale where the Sailor Brothers ride in its artillery part while the others ride in Sammo's mouth. The episode “Pitched Battle of the Navies”revealed that someone once lit a fire in Sammo which created a soot deposit that partially blocked up his blowhole and majorly hindered his ability to play volleyball. This was cleared out by Lin Chung using one of Mystique Sonia's strength buns. • Wu Sung (voiced by Eric Bauza) - Wu Sung is the Big Green's dentist. He calls himself a dental warrior due to his dentist tools all being in a sword-like holder. He is the twin brother of the Dog King. He is classified as Hero 014. • Gardener Ching (voiced by Andrew Francis) - Big Green's gardener. He grows the large Calabash Gourds for the Tank Army's tanks and would often insult anyone in order to get the tears to help grow them as seen in "Chameleon Castle". Gardener Ching appeared in the original Hero: 108 lineup as well where instead of being a gardener, he can shoot laser eyes. • Origin Man - Origin Man is a caveman who was found frozen in a block of ice with a Tyrannosaurus by Twin Masters. Twin Masters thawed them out and used his chaotic energies on Origin Man and the Tyrannosaurus where he had them attack Big Green. Due to First Squad being more advanced than them, Origin Man and the Tyrannosaurus are defeated. After the Tyrannosaurus “sacrifices”its life to“eliminate”Twin Masters, Origin Man s up with Big Green (with his designation being Hero 070). • Lady Green - Classified as Hero 102, Lady Green is a female member of Big Green's navy who has never been defeated in battle before. • Yan Ching - A small aquatic humanoid whose strength makes up for his size. He and his kind were tricked by HighRoller into using their Jellyfish armor and a special elixir into ambushing First Squad in the ocean where their elixirs have shrunk First Squad enabling the Zebra Brothers to capture First Squad and hand them over to High Roller. After First Squad escaped, Yan Ching and his warriors went after them. When Lin Chung defeated Yan Ching, High Roller arrived to finish the job to make up for Yan Ching's “failure.”After helping First Squad to subdue Bearstomp, Yan Ching and his kind up with Big Green (with Yan Ching's designation being Hero 036). In "Demon Heartland", Yan

CHAPTER 6. EUROPEAN AND NORTH AMERICAN-CO PRODUCTIONS Ching spies on Twin Masters and informs Commander ApeTrully about Twin Master's heart. As First Squad and the Infantry head to the secret island where Twin Masters's heart is, Mystique Sonia had some doubts about Yan Ching. When First Squad, the Infantry, the Sea Elephants, and the Hermit Crabs were trapped in a cave with Twin Master's heart about to detonate, Yan Ching gets Sammo the Whale to help free them.
• Bronze Giant - When Twin Masters began to drain all life in Hidden Kingdom, Lin Chung suddenly was able to draw up the Bronze Giant which has the titular hero classification. Lin Chung was able to form the Bronze Giant by combining with the of Big Green, the Animal Kings and Queens, and the remaining animals on HighRoller's side. In battle, Bronze Giant used Gorilla King's punches, Jumpy Ghostface's jump-rope attacks, Mystique Sonia's wind attack, Bearstomp's pincher attack, Mighty Ray's eye lightning attack, Cheetah King's speed, Crab King shovel attack, Blowfish King's spinelaunching attack, Lizard King's beam attack, Scorpion King's tail attack, and Golden Eye Husky's fire breath. Using the harmonic energies of those who helped to formed the Bronze Giant, Lin Chung channels the combined energies and the Bronze Giant uses it to destroy Twin Masters. • The Tank Army - A part of Big Green's army consisting of metal glove-wearing soldiers that operate large Calabash Tanks. They are led by the Tank Commander (voiced by Andrew Francis) who is classified as Hero 085. They often accompany Commander ApeTrully on some of his missions to defend him in cases of attack. • Anti-Air Units - A part of Big Green that operates the Anti-Air Cannons in Big Green as seen in "Air Battle". They are led by the Air Defense Captain (voiced by Ian James Corlett). The soldiers resemble the soldiers in the Tank Army with different-colored armor. They also seem to like Lin Chung's bamboo shoots (which Lin Chung did not know that they can also be edible). Villains • Twin Masters (voiced by Scott McNeil) - The primary antagonist of the second season. Twin Masters is a two-toned demon who is HighRoller's master and uses him in his overall scheme to plunge the world into chaos. Twin Masters' head resembles a skull with small, glowing yellow pupils. On his right side, he is red and somewhat jagged, resembling lava and fire. On his left side, he is blue and wavy, resembling water and ice. His red half
speaks with a gruff voice, while his blue half speaks with a more shrill voice. Twin Masters was once a warrior prince named Yang Tu who wanted to take over Hidden Kingdom. Lin Chung tried to change Yang Tu's fate, but Yang Tu fell into a deep volcanic pit into the Earth. Yang Tu was trapped inside until he became Twin Masters and mastered the power of chaos. Among Twin Masters's powers is the manipulation of unstable chaos energy, making his attacks utterly destructive. A few of the animals know of him from legends, rarely appearing outside his cave until the actions of First Squad force him to reveal himself and take a more active role. In "The Return of the Pterodactyls", he commanded the bald eagles to drink the sap from the ancient trees of the Hidden Kingdom which turned them into pterodactyls. He also turned animals into monsters through schemes involving a storm while having Mighty Ray's eyeballs and later enchanting the Owl Amulet. He hypnotized Second Squad which means he has hypnosis powers. By the end of Season 2, Twin Masters gains water from the lake of Tai Chi and encases himself in a giant cocoon to assume a powerful form. His skull-like head becomes more luminescent red and blue. He also has a snake tail in place of legs, with spikes at the end of his tail. It took the combined abilities of Big Green and all the Animal Kings and Queens to form the Bronze Giant in order to destroy Twin Masters. • HighRoller (voiced by Brian Drummond) - The main antagonist of the first season and then a secondary antagonist of the second season. He was once a court jester who was banished from the Eastern Capital for insulting its emperor and wandered into the Hidden Lands. Upon getting struck by lightning, he gained the ability to communicate with animals and tricked them into thinking humans were their enemies. As the new Emperor of the East Citadel, HighRoller gets to do whatever he wants, and what he typically wants to do is attack humans (or get animals to attack humans for him), eat candy, read comic books, and play games.* [10] A flashback in "Folk Game Competition II" revealed that he was a classmate of Woo the Wise. HighRoller is also the master of the Folk Game Competition and these skills actually translate to the battlefield in dangerously unexpected ways. For the first Folk Game Competition he held, HighRoller held it to distract everyone from the traffic. He later held the second Folk Game Competition as a diversion for the Zebra Brothers to eliminate all the books, since he hated studying as a child. He once beat Jumpy Ghostface in the first Folk Game Competition (by cheating), but the second one against Lin Chung ended in a draw when HighRoller discovered that the Zebra Brothers also took his comic books. Combining this with the fact that he likes to play dirty makes
6.1. HERO: 108 HighRoller a formidable opponent for even the most skilled of First Squad, as even Lin Chung can have a hard time trying to stop him one time when HighRoller combined with Bearstomp to form the High-Stomp formation as seen in "Firework Festival at East Citadel" and "Strongest Punch & Kick". In Season 2, he is the servant of his master Twin Masters as seen in "The Rise of Lin Chung". In the Chinese dub, HighRoller was Kao Chao and his origin was different as in the Chinese version, he was the true emperor until a magic arrow shot his head stealing his ability to speak English but gaining the ability to speak animal language instead. In the Romanian dub, he was renamed Sportiflex. • The Zebra Brothers (voiced by Adrian Petriw and Brian Drummond) - Two Zebra twins that serve High Roller and the secondary antagonists of the series. Sparky Black is a black zebra with grey stripes and Sparky White is a white zebra with black stripes. It has been shown that they, like Commander ApeTrully, were students of Parrot King; however, the Parrot King did say that they were his worst students (because they always goofed off in class). In almost all of the episodes, they are usually the ones who incite the animals to oppress the humans. In most cases, they stay out of fights between First Squad and the animals. However, once a month, when the moon is full, they use their most powerful weapons called the Ghost Lanterns. The Ghost Lanterns are paper lanterns on sticks that gives the Zebra Brothers supernatural powers ranging from merging to form a giant version of themselves, creating an army of zebra clones, create zebra-type mosquitoes, or getting their victims to face their biggest fears. Although in one episode, it was shown that the Zebra Brothers can twirl their lanterns and use them to fly, even without the full moon. In most episodes like "Cat Castle" and "Snake Castle", they end up in the same predicament as Commander ApeTrully. In the final battle against Twin Masters, the Zebra Brothers Big Green to help form the Bronze Giant. Once Twin Masters is destroyed by Bronze Giant, the Zebra Brothers and Bearstomp leave with HighRoller to return to East Citadel. • Bearstomp - Bearstomp is the armored King of the Bears who wears a helmet with a cannon on it. He acts as HighRoller's bodyguard. He is often shown blowing nose bubbles while asleep. One of his arms has been replaced with a retractable winch/pincher (suggesting that he may have been injured in battle). It is unknown as to how he acquired such a device, but it seems likely that HighRoller gave it
201 to him as an incentive to enslave humans and become a prominent leader of HighRoller's army. In "Firework Festival at East Citadel" and "Strongest Punch & Kick", Bearstomp is shown to have the ability to combine with High Roller to form the “High-Stomp”formation which allows High Roller to be much tougher. In "Gladiators" Bearstomp is among those who were captured by the Minotaur's minions. First Squad and Bearstomp had to work together to escape the Minotaur. When Lin Chung offered Bearstomp to switch to their side, Bearstomp just hits Mighty Ray and returns to East Citadel. Although Lin Chung stated that Bearstomp is their enemy, he was their ally in the battle against the Minotaur. In“The Bronze Giant,”Bearstomp s Big Green to help form the Bronze Giant (classified as Hero 052). Once Twin Masters is destroyed by Bronze Giant, Bearstomp and the Zebra Brothers leave with HighRoller to return to East Citadel. • The Soldiers of Darkness - A group of animalhating humans who want revenge on the animal community. They kidnapped the Parrots from Parrot Castle under the orders of their leader, the Commander of Darkness (voiced by Scott McNeil in Season 2). According to Parrot King, the Soldiers of Darkness leave skull marks wherever they go. Jumpy Ghostface and Parrot King accidentally discover their underground base where they are captured and brought to the Commander. They try to reason with the Commander but he does not care if they have reformed. During this encounter, Jumpy Ghostface blows out the candle the Commander of Darkness wears on his hat, revealing the Commander has nyctophobia (a fear of the dark which Jumpy & Parrot King find funny). The Commander imprisons Jumpy and Parrot King, but they and the other Parrots are freed by the Zebra Brother's and their Zebra Clone Army (Jumpy & Parrot King however are captured by the Zebra Clones). The Zebra Clones knock over the Commander's candles, causing him to order a retreat. While they are fleeing it is revealed that there are only 6 Soldiers of Darkness (including the Commander). After being defeated and losing their Zebra Clone Army to the Butterflies, the Zebra Brothers run into the Commander and Soldiers of Darkness, who take out their anger on the pair. In "Revenge of the Commander of Darkness", the Soldiers of Darkness entrap a Giant Centipede and harvest its earwax in order for the Commander of Darkness to assume the form of Koala King and for his soldiers to be modified to be larger and have extra arms. When Commander ApeTrully and First Squad find out that Koala King was replaced by the Commander of Darkness, Lin Chung, Jumpy

Once Koala King is rescued, the Soldiers of Darkness are defeated as the Commander of Darkness is forcefully dragged away by the Giant Centipede. In "Enter the Dragon", the Commander of Darkness gets a hold of some dragons and uses them to capture Mystique Sonia in order to force her to be his fellow Commander causing First Squad and the Air Force to go after her. Using her flute, Mystique Sonia charms a dragon which she uses to defeat the Commander of Darkness. The Commander of Darkness then surrenders and is used as a partner for Porcupine King's quillshooting act.
leave, the other Rabbits were rescued. • Minotaur - A Minotaur resided in a labyrinth that contained a gladiator arena as seen in “Gladiators.”In battle, the Minotaur can elongate his horns. The Minotaur's minions captured First Squad, Bearstomp, and some other warriors to fight for his entertainment. After Jumpy Ghostface discovered the power source for the control collars, Lin Chung destroyed the collars enabling the captives to escape and navigate through the labyrinth. After defeating the Minotaur's minions, the Minotaur attacked the group. Lin Chung managed to hold off the Minotaur while the others got out of the collapsing labyrinth. Upon emerging from the rubble, Lin Chung thinks the Minotaur was vanquished in the cave-in. After the group leaves, the Minotaur emerges from the rubble.
• Cocky Aliens - A race of aliens who can only be defeated by being kicked 100 times (which leads to the invention of the game Shuttlecock) after which they turn into fruit (explaining the origin of pineapples, • Bounty Hunters - Two unnamed bounty hunters grapes, tomatoes, and watermelons). They are enehired by Twin Masters to capture First Squad and to mies of the Cheetahs as they were the ones who inmake up for HighRoller's failure. One bounty hunter vented Shuttlecock.

When High Roller, the Zebra Brothplanned much to the disappointment of Twin Masers, and Bearstomp are defeated, the Cocky Aliens ters. end up possessing the other First Squad . Lin Chung pretended to get hit in order for him to get them to leave the bodies of First Squad. Lin Animals Chung, the Cheetah King, and Cheetah Queen then kick them 100 times and reduce them to fruits. • Turtles - The Turtles ride on tank treads to serve as transportation for First Squad and Second Squad • Spotter the Rabbit - Spotter is a Rabbit who when they were the first animals to Big Green. competed against Jumpy Ghostface to be the RabThey are classified as Hero 075. Some turtles are ofbit King's successor. Rabbit King selected Jumpy ten seen wearing cannons on their backs. The TurGhostface to be his successor instead of Spotter tles come in different sizes from tank size to the size the Rabbit causing Sparta to leave. Upon training of roller skates. The Turtle King is the head of the with some bad guys and mastering the full human Turtles and does not like it when the other Turtles language, Spotter befriended the Mantis army and are bullied by anyone like the time when Mighty they invade Rabbit Castle where he captures all the Ray insulted his Turtle for being too fat causing the Rabbits leaving one to let Jumpy Ghostface know other Turtles to attack him with their cannons as that he is back. While First Squad and the Beetles seen in "Rhino Castle". When Mr. No Hands asks, fought the Mantis Army, Jumpy Ghostface dueled Turtle King states that “when a turtle is hurt by a with Spotter the Rabbit. After Spotter the Rabbit friend, the pain of the betrayal gives a tear strength was repelled and the Mantis Army also takes their to travel many miles, then the Turtles will always
6.1. HERO: 108 rush to the aid of a crying comrade.”When not transporting First Squad to the scene where Commander ApeTrully is in trouble, they are often used in the Turtle Cannon Competitions between First Squad and Second Squad. In "Big Baby Turtles", the turtles associated with First Squad get exhausted while pursuing the Zebra Brothers after they stole the Owl Amulet from the Owls. First Squad decide to give the Turtles a vacation, but they run away from Big Green upon mishearing First Squad. The Turtles find the Zebra Brothers enabling them to give HighRoller and Twin Masters the idea to use the Owl Amulet's powers to turn the Turtles into their monstrous forms complete with fire-breathing abilities. High Roller and the Zebra Brothers disguise themselves as of First Squad in order to trick the monstrous Turtles. Due to Mighty Ray having eaten a turtle egg at that time, he slowly turned into a Turtle causing First Squad to call in Kowloon to cover for Mighty Ray. When the monstrous Turtles attack a village, First Squad and Kowloon had to fight them. With the help of Mighty Ray's turtle form, First Squad and Kowloon had to reason with the monstrous Turtles. HighRoller attacked Mighty Ray enough for him to spit out the egg he swallowed from which a baby turtle hatched from and saw Mighty Ray as its mother. The monstrous Turtles then turn against HighRoller after he caused the baby turtle to fall on its back while attacking Ray. Lin Chung destroys the Owl Amulet breaking the spell on them. • Rabbits - The Rabbits were the first seen by the audience where they capture Commander ApeTrully when he found out that the Rabbits like candy rather than carrots. They had him wear a carrot costume and jump rope. They use jump ropes for attacks and even have a bad-smelling belch attack. When Mystique Sonia and Mighty Ray end up captured upon being knocked out by the Rabbit's belching and end up in the same position as Commander ApeTrully, Lin Chung came to their rescue enabling Mighty Ray and Mystique Sonia to turn the tides against the Rabbits. Their leader Jumpy Ghostface (also known as the Rabbit King) went up against First Squad in a jump-rope battle. After being defeated, Jumpy Ghostface s Big Green as a member of First Squad. In "Ninja Fight", it was revealed that there was a previous Rabbit King who selected Jumpy Ghostface to be his successor instead of Spotter the Rabbit causing Sparta to leave. Rabbit Castle was later attacked by Spotter the Rabbit and his Mantis allies where he captures all the Rabbits leaving one to let Jumpy Ghostface know that he is back. While First Squad and the Beetles fought the Mantis Army, Jumpy Ghostface dueled with Spotter the Rabbit. After Spotter the Rabbit was repelled and the Mantis Army also takes their leave, the other
203 Rabbits were rescued. • Bears - The Bears are one of the allies of HighRoller with some of them serving as HighRoller's Infantry. Seeing as the Bears were valuable to HighRoller, he once wagered to give up Bear Castle to Big Green if they won as seen in "Folk Game Competition". The Bears come in many different colors and some of them wear occasional clothing. Bearstomp is the king of the bears. They apparently have good driving skills as they pilot Duck Cars and stolen Big Green tanks with ease. The Bears are also good at Table Soccer as it was seen in "Table Soccer Competition" where Commander ApeTrully and First Squad had a hard time knocking the Bears off the poles and winning the game. • Elephants - The Elephants use their long noses to attack in which they become deflated and must be re-inflated. The Elephant King enjoys blowing party whistles. First Squad went up against Elephant King in a contest to blow the largest party whistle. When First Squad managed to do that, Elephant King collapsed upon this reaction. After having his heart restarted by Mighty Ray's eyeball attacks, Elephant King s Big Green (classified as Hero 105) where he operates an air conditioner-like device the helps all of Big Green stay cool in the summer, but gives Mighty Ray a cold. In "Camel Castle II", Lin Chung brought Elephant King to Camel Castle to unflatten the other First Squad . In "Elephant Castle II", Elephant King learns about creativity from Mystique Sonia during his job. While out on his walk trying to find his creativity, the Zebra Brothers lied to Elephant King that First Squad and Big Green are mistreating him causing Elephant King to return to Elephant Castle and have the humans make tanks for the Elephants. When Commander ApeTrully gets captured trying to get Elephant King back, First Squad had to get Elephant King back without Lin Chung (who came down with a cold from too much cold air). Due to Jumpy Ghostface deflecting the Elephant's water attack, the Elephants ended up getting muddy enough for Mystique Sonia to use her tongue attack to blow off the mud when combined with the Elephant's spinning trunks. The Zebra Brother's deception were exposed causing Elephant King to send them flying toward the angry people the Elephants oppressed. Elephant King used his creativity to mix different flavors when blowing air throughout Big Green. In "Pitched Battle of the Air Force", Elephant King alongside Peacock Queen, Octopus King, and Scorpion King were used as test subjects for Woo the Wise's crystal Rubik's Cube-like invention. In "Big Baby Turtles", Elephant King auditions as a stand-in for the Turtles and is rejected due to him being too heavy for the Turtle's tank treads. In "The Bronze Giant", Elephant

• Ligers - The hides of the Ligers are tough enough for attacks to not harm them. They first are shown tricking Commander ApeTrully and the Tank Army and capturing them. They also burn away Mystique Sonia's Yaksha with their fire breath, which later comes back because a member of the Tank Army told Sonia he loved her three times. They have a pride in throwing rings when their leader Golden Eye Husky challenged First Squad to a ringthrowing competition. Though he beat First Squad, he is defeated in the ring-throwing competition by the Sailor Brothers. The Ligers Big Green where Golden Eye Husky becomes a member of Second Squad. • Camels - The Camels enjoy drawing and use their stinky spit as a weapon. The Camels captured Commander ApeTrully during his mission and use him as a model for their drawing. When it came to their fight with First Squad, their spit ended up causing First Squad to retreat. With help from Woo the Wise and the Air Force, the Camels ended up eating gum that did not make their spit smell bad. First Squad then confronts the Camel King. After being amazed by Lin Chung's drawing, Camel King s Big Green (classified as Hero 046) where he becomes an art teacher to Lin Chung and draws up maps for Big Green. In "Eagle Castle", it opens with Camel King painting a picture of Commander ApeTruly in the desert. When ApeTrully tries his first attempt to make peace with the Eagles, Camel King warns him to be careful. In "Pitched Battle of the Tank Army", he tells Lin Chung to add more life to his drawings. In "Camel Castle II", Camel King has a vision of the cosmos following a hit on the head which gives him the inspiration to beat Lin Chung by painting a modern art picture of Mystique Sonia. Camel King declares his superiority and leaves Big Green to have the Camels show their art superiority to humans. This time, the Camels modified themselves with cactus launchers and paint cannons when driving away the humans. Commander ApeTrully had to call the Infantry to protect the humans from the Camels. When Commander ApeTrully fails to get Camel King back who uses Commander ApeTrully as a model again, First Squad had to try to get to Camel King without Lin Chung. When First Squad is trapped under a rock pushed by the Camels, the Turtle Tanks informed Lin Chung of this. Upon confronting Camel King while Elephant King helped the other First Squad , Lin Chung showed Camel King his modern art hybrid of the flattened First Squad . Camel King then returns to Big Green upon it-
ting defeat. In "The Bronze Giant", Camel King is among the animals who helps Big Green to form the Bronze Giant in the final fight against Twin Masters. • Parrots - The Parrots occasionally ride on snails and can drop pellet bombs. They are ruled by the Parrot King who was a teacher to animals including Commander ApeTrully when it comes to teaching them human languages. Parrot King also considered the Zebra Brothers the worst of his students. He quickly ed up with Big Green (classified as Hero 024) after recognizing Commander ApeTrully's true form and his lie-detecting snail confirming that what Commander ApeTrully said about HighRoller was right. Parrot King gives out language lesson to the animals on Big Green's side. • Pandas and Giraffes - The Pandas and Giraffes live together at Pandaffe Castle. The Giraffes would lift the Pandas onto their necks and throw them at enemies like a catapult. Panda King plays a Flute while Giraffe King plays drums. After being upstaged by Mighty Ray and Mystique Sonia earlier, Rattle Diva ended up helping them with her music which helped re-energize the Giraffes and Pandas. When the Pandas end up on the clouds upon the Giraffes accidentally launching them up there, First Squad managed to rescue them. The Panda King and Giraffe King Big Green (with Panda King's classification being Hero 067 and Giraffe King's classification being Hero 002) and are now part of the Do-Re-Mi band with Rattle Diva. In "Snake Castle", Panda King gives Mystique Sonia a flute which comes in handy when dealing with the Snakes. In "Frog Castle", the Do-Re-Mi Band were summoned to combat the Frogs. In "Strongest Punch & Kick", Panda King combines with Mr. No Hands to form a fighting combination in order to combat the Gorilla-Roo formation. In "The Bronze Giant", Panda King and Giraffe King are among the animals who help Big Green to form the Bronze Giant in the final fight against Twin Masters. • Eagles - Commander ApeTrully tried many times to get the Eagles to Big Green. In "Eagle Castle", they carried a metal skeleton created by the Zebra Brothers which trapped Commander ApeTrully in his helicopter. Lin Chung managed to get Commander ApeTrully and his helicopter out of there. Lin Chung and the Air Force ended up getting him out of there causing Commander ApeTrully, Lin Chung, and the Air Force to fall back to Big Green. In "Air Battle", the Zebra Brothers having the Eagles attack Big Green. They were successfully shot down by the Air Force. Following the Eagle's failed attack on Big Green, the Zebra Brothers returned to Eagle Castle and discovered that the Eagles have lost the feathers on their heads. This ended up turning them into bald eagles. In "Bald Eagle Castle",
6.1. HERO: 108 the Zebra Brothers ended up capturing Commander ApeTrully for the Eagles' revenge. Their baldness gave them an advantage using their shiny baldness to blind anyone when the light of the sun is reflected off their heads. Lin Chung and the Air Force managed to shoot them down from their twister position. Because the Zebra Brothers had to pull them out instead of digging them out, the bald eagles ended up becoming ostriches and chased after the Zebra Brothers for what they did to them. Also, it caused them to lose their flight in a plot to attack Big Green. In“Ostrich Castle,”the Zebra Brothers had the Ostriches help them in fighting First Squad. When fighting First Squad, the Ostriches can together into a bird ball-like formation with their heads sticking out. The Zebra Brothers pretended to Big Green in order to steal the secrets of Big Green and help the Ostriches design their own launch tubes to form their own launch tubes. After the entering the Zebra Brothers' Mimic of the First Squad entrance, they gain their ability to fly again (the Zebra Brothers actually did not plan this, but they promise) restoring them to bald eagles and put them through drills. Unfortunately when it comes to attacking Big Green, the bald eagles thought it was another drill and ended up smashing the signal leaving the Zebra Brothers at the mercy of First Squad. In "Pitched Battle of the Air Force", HighRoller later had the bald eagles combine with the bats and hens in order to form the Ultimate Flying Force. Big Green's Air Force and First Squad had a hard time fighting the combined forces of the bald eagles, the bats, and hens until they were defeated. The bald eagles retreated leaving the bats and hens behind. The bald eagles later operated by a fake black dragon and defeated them. Mighty Ray toying around with Woo the Wise's invention caused HighRoller, the Zebra Brothers, Bearstomp, and the bald eagles to merge into a large creature he called the “Twelve-Eyed Striped Dumbat.”Upon being broken apart by a combined attack by Lin Chung and the Air Force, the bald eagles retreated with HighRoller, the Zebra Brothers, and Bearstomp. In "The Return of the Pterodactyls", Twin Masters commanded the bald eagles to drink the sap from the ancient Fruiters Bum-Bodda trees of the Hidden Kingdom which turned them into Pterodactyls. In "The Yeti & Phoenix", Twin Masters turns Bald Eagle King into a fire-breathing phoenix to cause havoc in Hidden Valley. Jumpy Ghostface and Mr. No Hands had to fight the Phoenix until Lin Chung arrived and had them trick the Phoenix into going towards the Yeti (which was a transformed version of Polar Bear King). While the Phoenix and the Yeti were locked in combat, Lin Chung channeled the Harmonic Energies of his teammates in order to regress the Phoenix and the Yeti back into Bald Eagle King and Polar Bear King enough to thwart Twin Mas-
205 ters's plot. Afterwards, Bald Eagle King finally sides with Big Green (classified as Hero 11). In "The Bronze Giant", Bald Eagle King is among the animals who helps Big Green to form the Bronze Giant in the final fight against Twin Masters. • Baboons - The Baboons have been stealing water from the humans. They're not evil, but High Roller infected them with fleas that made them evil. They use spinning tops as weapons making fire monsters when the tops burn the wood. When Commander ApeTrully had a broken leg, Woo the Wise and Parrot King had to cover for him. However, instead of making peace with them, Woo the Wise confronts them saying “You Baboons should be ASHAMED of yourselves! STEALING water from humans for your baths! You ARE very SELFISH!" The Baboons agree with Woo the Wise and Woo the Wise is overjoyed when he was finally right for once. After the Fleas wake up, the Baboons become angry and Woo the Wise ends up infected by the Fleas. After Woo the Wise realizes that his words have provoked the Baboons, he also notices his clothes are gone except for his Birthday suit and First Squad was called in. During the fight against the Baboons, Mighty Ray used his Electrical Eyeball Attack on the clouds which made the fleas dormant. When the fleas were no longer dormant, the Baboons ended up infecting Jumpy Ghostface with fleas. First Squad had to go up against the Baboons in a top-spinning battle. When Jumpy gets flat, Lin Chung ends up spinning Mighty Ray into a tree containing Soapberries which when exposed to water made Mighty Ray smell clean. With help from Mystique Sonia, Mighty Ray ended up defeating the Baboons and exposed them, Woo the Wise, and Jumpy Ghostface to the Soapberries. After being freed from the evil fleas, the Baboons Big Green where they are doing laundry for Big Green. In "Elephant Castle II", Baboon King warned Commander ApeTrully that there is something wrong with Elephant king. In "Sheep Castle", Yaksha summoned Baboon King to help get the oil off of the Sheep's wool. In "The Bronze Giant", Baboon King is among the animals who helps Big Green to form the Bronze Giant in the final fight against Twin Masters. • Fleas - HighRoller and the Zebra Brothers used special fleas to take control of the Baboons and made them evil. These Fleas end up dormant when exposed to water. • Mosquitoes - HighRoller's discarding of healthy food ended up attracting Mosquitoes when the food ended up rotting in the garbage pile, so he had Chameleon Queen eat them all. • Chameleons - The Chameleon Queen and her subjects are allies of HighRoller and is known to eat
206

Unlike Lucien, who loves the swamp, Wayne is terrified of the place, and also has a fear of frogs. Wayne's only love is anything sugary, his main source of energy, and if he is deprived from it, he becomes tired and speaks nonsense. Wayne likes to give the impression that he's the best-behaved of the twins to his mother, and sometimes Miss Hissy, but in truth, he likes to manipulate to achieve his goals. • Lucien Cramp (voiced by Kath Soucie) is Wayne's older twin brother, as the opening credits indicate. Lucien is the smarter of the twins, but also considered the 'eco-loser'. Despite being the older twin, Lucien is often teased by most kids. Lucien enjoys science, nature and is a vegetarian. Lucien longs for a pet, either a cat or a dog, but due to his mother's extreme cleaniliness rules, he cannot have either one. To combat this, Lucien secretly keeps a worm farm under his bed, that only Tony, Mari, Wayne and Wendy know about; his mom and dad are unaware that he has it. It is shown in many episodes that Lucien has a fear of clowns. He has many skills, including knitting, and has shown interest in playing the harp. Lucien likes going to Soap City's only swamp (the only place he gets peace from Wayne, who is afraid of the place) where Tony lives. • Dorothy Cramp (born O'Neil) (voiced by Nicole Oliver), is the yellow-skinned short-tempered mother to the twins, and wife of Horace Cramp. She is a complete germaphobe and neat freak. Her love of cleanliness is a major joke in the show. She once raided the twins' rooms and husband's storage to check their cleanliness, which resulted in her kicking them out of the house due to Wayne's junk, Lucien's mud for his worms, and Horace's Rodeo Rita picture. She is something of a scientist by way of cleaning products, for she often mixes home-made cleaning formulas to seek out the strongest germ-killer. She has a crush on fellow clean-freak Agent X, who is suspected by Lucien, to be an alien. • Horace Cramp (voiced by Ian James Corlett) is the green-skinned dim-witted father of Wayne and Lucien and husband of Dorothy Cramp. He works at the local soap and cleaner products factory. He is also a third-rate cowboy, being obsessed with“cowgirl”Rodeo Rita, much to his wife's disapproval. He is always fruitlessly trying to impress his boss, Mr.

in many episodes) the brother of Mr. Parson and therefore descended from the swamp.
• Tony Parsons (voiced by Terry Klassen) is Lucien's best friend (although they have been known to fall out) and a swamp child. He possesses a vast knowledge about the swamp, its people's traditions, and natural history. He has many brothers and sisters. Tony's dad's name is Seth and his mom's is Lily. Tony is extremely short (about 1 ft tall) and finds it hampers his day-to-day life, e.g. riding a bicycle, but uses equipment to aid him, e.g. he wears a flag-meet-helmet whilst riding his speciallydesigned bike so other road s can see him. Apart from this, Tony's height doesn't seem to effect his self-esteem. He, Mari & Wendy are Lucien's only friends. A running gag in the show is Tony's belief in supernatural things, like magic.
• Hillary Hissy: Hillary (Miss Hissy) is Wayne's, Lucien's, Wendy's and Mari's oversized teacher. She hates Wayne and a friend of Dirty Joe. They were thought to be dating once, but it turned out she was only tutoring him. Miss Hissy has also been shown to have a crush on Mr Cramp (Wayne and Lucien's father). She is very unlikeable and her teaching methods usually involve bullying her students. Her catch-phrase is “toute suite”. In one episode it is revealed she was a Karate expert and does Martial Arts. She owns a long stick with bells on it (called 'The Crank') and threatens students into behaving by shaking it in an aggressive manner, inevitably to hit them.
• Wendy Winkle (voiced by Jayne Paterson) is the only daughter of Walter Winkle, a prosperous & bubbly girl who has an obvious crush on Wayne. Despite being rich, she is not a spoiled brat but rather charitable & kind. This is a major theme in the series and she tries everything to win his heart, yet unsuccessfully, but Wayne cares for her as a friend. Wendy also likes Lucien due to his gentleness & sensitivity. • Mari Phelps (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain) is Lucien's other friend. She often co-operates with Lucien on his environment-conserving efforts, but often can't help desiring a bit of power. She is a foster child and is looked after by a happiness-obsessed, brown-haired family with strange customs. She is the black sheep of her foster family and is often embarrassed by their habits. Lucien briefly had a crush on Mari when she felt sorry for him during a time he felt certain he would never have a girlfriend, but nothing came of it. However, they remained good friends. (Alternative spelling: Marie.)

Major characters
• Dirty Joe Muldoon: An middle-aged man who lives in a trailer and Wayne's best friend. He is an unseen character (except for a hand and part of his clothes). According to an episode, he has never bathed or showered in his life, but he showers for the first time in his life when he comes to live with the Cramps. • Walter Winkle: Mr Cramp's boss and Wendy's father. He owns the city's soap-producing factory. He is a very unlikeable man who practically owns the town, since many of the residents work for him and don't dare to cross him. The only person he obeys is his spoiled-brat of a daughter. He is (as is hinted
• Seth Parsons: Toni's father and a swamp person. He and the Parson family live near the swamp. His wife is Lily (who did not appear until later episodes). In the 3rd episode, “The Bad Seed”, it is shown that, in the western era, he was the outlaw Bad Seed's sidekick Little Hat in his childhood (he looked like and was the same size as Toni, Little Hat wears a cowboy outfit and has a hat that covers his head, The Bad Seed wears a cowboy outfit and a mask). It is also shown The Bad Seed is someone who looks like Lucien - possibly Mr Cramp or an ancestor of the Cramps. • Mr. Pretty: A “friend”of Wayne and Lucien's. (his mom bullied Dorothy Cramp, his father bullied Horace Cramp). In the European version he is the overly peppy principal of the school, whose methods to an extent annoy the Cramps. He is often quick to blame Miss Hissy for his own incompetence. • Lillian “Lily”Parsons: Seth's wife and the mother of Toni and his siblings. Lucien once had a crush on her, much to Tony's annoyance. • Vinnie Phelps: Mari's dad. He worked as a barber in his first appearance and then as the vice principal of the school (he is neither in the European version, instead an optician). • Principal Earlington Richard Quartermaine: Earlington is the principal of the school and Hillary's boss. He was Mrs. Phelps' ex-boyfriend. He is absent from the European version, and has never appeared. • Agent X: is a mysterious cleaning agent. There is evidence to he is an undercover spy, e.g/ he gave Mr Cramp a suitcase containing “spy protection gear”. Episode “Alien Glow”also suggests he is an alien.

It was created and designed by Jan Van Rijsselberge and was directed in Alphanim's studio in Paris by Charlie Bean, who worked on other programs such as Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, and Samurai Jack. The series first aired in the United Kingdom on 1 November 2005 on Cartoon Network. The series premiered in the United States on 28 December 2005 as part of a “sneak peek” preview week for the network's new Saturday morning cartoon lineup that debuted on 14 January 2006. This show is still running at the present time in the Eastern Europe, and but is no longer shown in North America or Asia territories or United Kingdom.
6.4.1 Plot Robotboy is the latest creation of the world renowned scientist Professor Moshimo. Due to fears that Robotboy would be stolen by his arch-enemy Dr. Kamikazi and his main henchman Constantine to be used to take over the world, Professor Moshimo entrusts Robotboy to 10year-old Tommy Turnbull, his biggest fan. While being protected by Tommy and his two friends Lola and Gus, or “G-Man”as he calls himself, Robotboy learns how to behave and act as if he were a real boy.

CHAPTER 6. EUROPEAN AND NORTH AMERICAN-CO PRODUCTIONS
• Augustus “Gus"/"G-Man”Turner - Tommy's funny, sometimes rude, self-centered, and neurotic best friend. • Lola Mbola - Tommy's unofficial girlfriend who has discreet romantic feelings for him. • Robotgirl - A super fighting robot just like Robotboy, who was introduced in the episode of the same name “Robot Girl”and her last appearance was in “The Return of Robotgirl”. She quickly made good friends with Robotboy and was only seen superactivated twice, both times in episode “Robotgirl”. In the first place, she had to be convinced by Moshimo to use her ultimate powers, otherwise she would never see her friends again. In “The return of Robotgirl”she was brought back to Tommy with a distress message by Moshimo, she could not be activated until she was repaired by Tommy and she suffered from a major memory loss, but was convinced by Lola to use her emotions in favour of the kids' team. In the end she was defeated in a fight against Protoboy and then was saved by Robotboy. • Dr. Kamikazi - A small old man with thick glasses and a suit/bathrobe combo who is a self-proclaimed evil genius and the main antagonist of the show. He wishes to capture Robotboy to create a template for an army of super robots, with which he will be able to achieve his dastardly goal of world domination. Most of his henchmen have a large letter K on their uniforms, to show that they are on Dr. Kamikazi's side. He has had many pets, ranging from snakes to cats, but they usually hurt him.
• Kurt - A sadistic bully at Tommy's school, he has blonde hair and wears a hat. He constantly bullies Gus and Tommy, as well as any other kid he finds. His dad is a spy who has used Kurt to try and capture Robotboy. Tommy sometimes has outsmarted Kurt and his cronies by outwitting them, usually with Robotboy. • Björn Bjornson - An evil boy who is about Tommy's age and claims to be a greater genius than professor Moshimo. He has his own prototype robot named Brother Björn or Bjorn-Bot. Both were first introduced in the episode of the same name - “Brother Björn”. Their mission is to destroy Moshimo's creation - Robotboy, so Bjorn-Bot would remain the only fighting robot in the world. • Protoboy - Robotboy's evil brother, who was created by Moshimo in his earlier years, but later stolen by young Kamikazi and Constantine and turned too evil to control. He was then forcibly deactivated by Constantine and stored in a large storage room inside of Kamikazi's quarters in Kaziland until he was saved by Robotboy. His first appearance was in episode “Brother”, but he returned in episode “The Old Switcharobot”and was later permanently destroyed by Robotboy in “The Return of Robotgirl”- the last episode of the series. He also has the ability to superactivate just like Robotboy, but the gun built into his left hand is static and cannot be switched with a pakm or another gun type. Robotboy was seen superactivated in Protoboy's body in “The old swticharobot”but his gun was damaged because Protoboy (in Robotboy's body) had removed some of its parts prior to the body switch.
• Constantine - A fat hunchbacked hitman of Dr. Kamikazi who also is a master of sumo wrestling (though it is unknown if he has ever been a 6.4.3 Production crew yokozuna, or“grand champion”).

6.5 Skatoony Skatoony (stylized as SKAToonY) is a British/Canadian children's live-action game show, pitting live-action kids against cartoons. The series is co-produced with Talent Television (for the British version), Blink Studios (for the Arabic Version),* [1]* [2] and Marblemedia with Smiley Guy Studios (for the North American version). The series is used to air on Cartoon Network in the UK, and on Teletoon in Canada. It is hosted by 'Chudd Chudders' (voiced by Rupert Degas in the UK and Jonathan Wilson in NA) and 'The Earl' (voiced by Lewis MacLeod in UK and James Rankin in NA). The cartoon characters mostly seem to be from Total Drama.

6.5.2 Guest contestant replacement In Skatoony, the quizblock has 6 colored squares - green, red, pink, purple, blue and yellow. The children get the green, pink and blue squares (occasionally they get purple, red and yellow squares), and the cartoon contestants get the red, yellow and purple. The guest contestants take the place of a cartoon character from the UK version. In the episode 'Skeleton Crew in Da House' in NA, Scabz was originally a contestant but he left before the 1st round and was replaced by Harold.
Season 1 Season 2
In 2001, Skatoony began as a competition microsite on the Cartoon Network UK website. In 2006, then appeared the first full length Skatoony TV show. However, a few phone-in shows such as Skatoony Quizmas, Ready Steady Skatoony and Skatoony Truckatoony existed before as a sort of continuity during school holidays. These phone-in shows ended in 2005.
Note: The episodes“Space: The Final Souffle”,“PreSchool Problem”and“It Could Be You!" are all skipped because they have no guest.
On February 9, 2009, Marblemedia announced they would be producing a North American version of the series Skatoony (in French and English) for].* [3] The Canadian adaptation, titled Skatoony North America to differentiate it from other adaptations follows the same format. The English version of Skatoony is filmed in Toronto, while the French version is filmed in Montreal with a different set of contestants; however, the outcome of the animated contestants remains the same between both versions. Jonathan Wilson voices Chudd Chudders while James Rankin provides the voice of The Earl, and new addition to the North American release, Charles La Puck, which is voiced by Jeff Lumby. A Middle Eastern adaptation of Skatoony debuted on April 5, 2011 on Cartoon Network Arabic.* [4]* [5]
Seasonal episodes
In addition to the British format, one contestant in each episode of Skatoony North America will be a guest contestant from a show from a Canadian animated series. Accordingly, a significant figure from the series will also be seen in the Skatoony opening sequence. Other children's series (including but not limited to shows on the Teletoon lineup) are often the subject of the questions asked on the shows. Guest contestants are taken from the following series:

Rounds
Beyond Bang On! or Bogus? (used in the first round) and the Skatoony Quiz Champ Challenge (when one contestant remains), the following challenges have been used: Round 2 challenges • Same Sound Name Round (Season 1 [NA and UK]) - Each contestant is given three placards, each depicting a picture corresponding to a particular word, with all three words rhyme with each other. Chudd's questions this round will have an answer that will either match or have the same pronunciation as one of these three placards.

In the backstory of the series, an evil ruler named Master Cyclonis and her servants, the Cyclonians, threatened Atmos. The original Storm Hawks led the Squadrons in a war against them, but were betrayed and defeated by one of their own (later known as The Dark Ace). Ten years later, the main characters of the series stumble upon the wreckage of the Storm Hawks' carrier, the Condor, and unofficially take on the Storm Hawks name in the hopes of becoming Sky Knights themselves, despite not being old enough to even legally fly the vehicle.* [1] Their youth defeats their ambition, however, as neither friend nor foe take them seriously because of it. This changes when they are brought into conflict with a new Master Cyclonis, granddaughter of the previous one.

Premise
235 son 3 is used mainly to make the The Clone Wars series more cohesive as these first episodes created better chronology, setting themselves in and amongst the previous two seasons' episodes. The second half of both seasons, Anakin steps a little closer to the dark side. Meanwhile, the Sith experience turmoil amongst themselves. Season 5 is unique in that it consists of 5 four-part story arcs, 3 of which center on Ahsoka's character development. Meanwhile, the Separatists gain more ground, and the story of an old villain who has returned concludes. Season 6 explores topics that are crucial in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, namely the creation of the clones and the details behind Order 66. Chancellor Palpatine gains even more power, and Yoda dives deeper into the nature of the force. On December 5, 2011, a full-length feature cut of the Season 3 trilogy episodes (“Nightsisters,”“Monster,” and “Witches of the Mist”) was released for on iTunes as an uninterrupted movie* [21] that was previously shown at selected screenings in 2010. The three episodes were written by Katie Lucas, who had previously written the Season 1 episode “Jedi Crash”and the Season 3 episodes “Sphere of Influence”and “Assassin.” A repeat of season one aired in “decoded”episode format. Each installment contained unobtrusive text windows giving supplemental information about the characters and events playing out on screen.* [22]

Many of the episodes are stand-alone, but a common thread throughout the season is that the Republic and the Separatists attempt to convince various planets and races to side with them. In Season 2, the Sith resort to hiring bounty hunters and mercenaries to steal objects and intel or to assassinate targets for them. Meanwhile, the Jedi lead the Republic forces in an assault on the primary battle droid manufacturing facility.

is the longest running original series on the network. As of August 2013, Adult Swim is available to approximately 98,671,000 pay television households (86.4% of households with television) in the United States.* [2]
Adult Swim (stylized as [adult swim] or [as]) is an American cable network that shares channel space with Cartoon Network, both of which are owned by Turner Broadcasting System, a division of Time Warner, Inc., 7.1.1 History every night from 8:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. ET/PT in the United States. The network is programmed by Williams See also: Space Ghost Coast to Coast Street Studios, a division of Turner Broadcasting System, Cartoon Network's original head programmer Mike which also developed two prior television programming blocks seen on Cartoon Network, Toonami (which later became a block on Adult Swim) and Miguzi. Debuting as a programming block on Cartoon Network in 2001, much of the network's general content is known for its risqué, unorthodox and often bizarre presentation, while many of the series features are developed in stark contrast with traditional American television programs. The network was granted its own Nielsen ratings report due to differing target demographics, and broadcasts in countries such as Australia and New Zealand.* [1] The block features stylistically varied animated and liveaction shows including original programming, syndicated series, short films, OVAs, and Japanese anime, generally with minimal or no editing for content. The name comes from a phrase used by public swimming pools to label designated times when children are restricted from using the facilities in favor of adults – “Adult Swim”. In the United States, Adult Swim has, over the course of its history, frequently cycled through and aired either recent or older features of adult animation, Japanese anime, mockumentaries, and sketch comedy, among many other programs consisting of pilots and their subsequent, short-lived series and numerous spin-offs, and shows that have sexual themes, frank sexual discussion, nudity, strong language, and graphic violence. While the network features trendy comedies and dramas of all types, many of its programs could be considered aesthetically experimental, transgressive, improvised, and surreal in nature. Adult Swim has contracted with various studios such as Williams Street, Augenblick Studios and PFFR, all of which are notable for their productions in absurd and shock comedy. As of 2015, Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Lazzo conceived* [3] (and continues to operate) Adult Swim. The network grew out of Cartoon Network's previous attempts at airing content appropriate for young adults who might be watching the channel after 11 p.m. (ET). The network began experimenting with its late night programming by airing anthology shows like ToonHeads and Late Night Black and White, both of which presented uncensored classic cartoon shorts. Space Ghost Coast to Coast, one of Cartoon Network's first forays into original programming, was created in 1994 specifically for late night audiences. The series was created by Mike Lazzo's Ghost Planet Industries, which eventually became Williams Street Studios, the eventual producers and programmers of Adult Swim.

7.1. ADULT SWIM During early mornings in December 2000 (while Space Ghost Coast to Coast was on hiatus), several new Williams Street series made unannounced “stealth”premieres. Sealab 2021, Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and The Brak Show all premiered unannounced;* [4]* [5] the official schedules listed the shows as “Special Programming”.* [6] Adult Swim officially launched on September 2, 2001 with the debut airing of the Home Movies episode “Director's Cut”,* [7] which was shelved before airing on its original network, UPN. It would become increasingly common for Adult Swim to burn off episodes of shows that never finished airing on its original network such as the Family Guy episode "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" and the rest of the respective first seasons of The WB sitcoms Mission Hill, Baby Blues, and The Oblongs, all in 2002. The first anime broadcast on Adult Swim also aired on the night of its launch, Cowboy Bebop.* [8]* [9] The block initially aired on Sunday nights, with a repeat of the same block on Thursday nights.

In 2007, Adult Swim announced it would expand to seven nights a week starting that July. Up until then, it was only on Saturdays-Thursdays, with Cartoon Network airing 24 hours on Friday. On July 6 of that year, Adult Swim had its first broadcast on a Friday with an all-night marathon of Family Guy with one episode, Peter's Two Dads, rerunning the April Fools gag of that year, running the first half-hour of Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film On March 28, 2005, Atlanta-based Turner Broadcasting For Theaters in a small square on the bottom left hand System split Adult Swim from Cartoon Network to allow corner.

Family Guy premiered in reruns on Adult Swim on April 20, 2003, and immediately became the block's top-rated program, dominating late night viewing in its time period vs. cable and broadcast competition and boosting viewership by 239 percent.* [11]* [12] On March 29, 2004, less than one year later, Fox announced it would be renewing Family Guy for a fourth season and reviving it from cancellation.* [11] Shortly after the announcement, Jim Samples, executive vice president of Cartoon Network, commented,“Bringing Family Guy to the Adult Swim lineup last April really helped turn the block into a cultural phenomenon with young adults.”* [12]
Stylistic history
Originally, all of the bumpers shown in-between shows featured footage of old people swimming in public pools, eating, exercising, and doing other pool-related activities, with some featuring audio of a lifeguard shouting through a megaphone. The logo was the words “Adult Swim”in all capital letters, shown after a freeze frame of the footage.* [21] When the Saturday night block debuted on February 23, 2002, it featured clips from the various anime programs displayed on the block. The original theme music for Adult Swim, titled“D-Code,”was a remix of “Mambo Gallego”done by the Melbourne musician Dust Devil, originally played by Latin jazz mu* Futurama was also revived in 2007 by Comedy Central sician Tito Puente, Sr. [22] On January 12, 2003, the sefor similar reasons: impressive viewership in syndication nior citizens were replaced by animated safety manuals as well as high DVD sales.* [13] Adult Swim obtained featuring Adult Swim characters.

The air times in many of the promos were crossed out in yellow. On March 31, 2014, adult swim re-branded their bumpers. From 8pm to 11pm (ET/PT) on their first day and from 8pm to 6am (ET/PT) from their second day onwards, the new bumpers include live action pans of landscapes, signs, objects, and animals with the Adult Swim logo embossed in them, sometimes hidden. Also the advisory sign-on bumper has changed from the traditional black and white bumper to a live shot as well.* [30]

The current bumps debuted on May 25, 2003 and feature black intertitle “cards”in white Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold type.* [23] The cards discuss everything from programming news to personal staff opinions on unrelated subjects. In addition, the bumpers for the action shows include tilt-shift miniature and other abstract photos of Japan, often accompanied by clips of various Yesterdays New Quintet songs. The most recent bumper cards have the "[adult swim]" caption somewhere within photographs of places – often with roads or road signs throughout the world.
On Wednesday, January 31, 2007, both the Boston Police Department and the Boston Fire Department mistakenly identified battery-powered LED placards resembling two characters from the Adult Swim animated television series Aqua Teen Hunger Force as improvised explosive devices. These devices were in fact part of a guerrilla marketing advertising campaign.

CHAPTER 7. PROGRAMING BLOCKS Currently the Watch Adult Swim service is available to subscribers of approximately 100 different cable and satellite providers including AT&T U-verse, Cablevision, Charter, Comcast Xfinity, Cox, DirecTV, Suddenlink and Verizon FiOS, and new cable providers are added frequently as needed. Unlike its traditional broadcast counterpart, the AS Live internet stream does not show the same commercials. This is primarily due to a contractual agreement between most American broadcast networks, including Turner owned properties, and the union SAG-AFTRA which represents television and radio performers and ASCAP and BMI which acts on behalf of music composers and performers for royalty payments. Under this agreement broadcast networks are required to pay a certain royalty fee to performers for commercials that they appeared in, provided voice-over or musical performance in. To usurp this Adult Swim broadcasts either a still card with a picture of an owl and the words“Please Stand-By Commercial Break”or Adult Swim program promos.
In mid-2004, Adult Swim launched a video on demand service on cable television providers, branded as “Adult Swim Video”.

Other Cartoon Network markets choose not to air it due to local market conditions, licensing programs to other broadcasters or government content restrictions or regulations – such as Ofcom in the United Kingdom. In those markets, where regulation issues arise, the block is licensed to other networks or television stations instead.* [57]* [58]

High definition channels and service
[9] Anime News Network.com Interview: CN re: Cowboy Bebop and Adult Swim
A high definition feed of Adult Swim is available on many cable and all satellite service providers. The high definition feed was launched on October 15, 2007. 4:3 content is stretched on the high definition feed to fill the 16:9 aspect ratio, except airings of season one episodes of The Eric André Show, along with Cowboy Bebop and Dragon Ball Z Kai on Toonami, which are pillarboxed to preserve the original 4:3 aspect ratio. This process results in a warped picture, which is especially apparent during horizontal panning. All programs produced in high definition are aired in letterbox on the standard definition feed. Commercials made in 4:3 are also stretched to fill the 16:9 feed, unlike most other Turner-owned channels that use stylized pillarboxing.

Online video services
Main article: Toonami Jetstream On March 26, 2001, Cartoon Network launched Toonami Reactor, their first online streaming video service.* [69] The three-month service featured streaming episodes from Dragon Ball Z and Star Blazers, the latter of which was an online-exclusive series. Editorial content was provided by the now-defunct Animerica Magazine, published by VIZ Media. After the three-month “trial run”was over, Cartoon Network took it offline and completely revamped it. On November 14, 2001, Cartoon Network relaunched Toonami Reactor with all online-exclusive programs such as Star Blazers, Patlabor, The Harlock Saga, and Record of Lodoss War, as well as videos from Daft Punk and Toonami-themed games. In the summer of 2002, Toonami Reactor was revamped again under the Adult Swim aegis and, in a t venture with VIZ's Weekly Shonen Jump, programmed it as“Adult Swim Pipeline.” It featured episodes and/or manga chapters from One Piece, Naruto, Shaman King, YuYu Hakusho, and Sand Land.* [70]* [71]

Sister channels 8.1 Boomerang (TV channel)
The Cartoon Network programming block was reformatted to air cartoons in production during a certain year (The Flintstones and Top Cat for 1961, The Perils of Penelope Pitstop and Scooby-Doo for 1969, et al.). The block was often simulcast with the Boomerang channel on Saturday mornings until 2004. The Boomerang channel initially carried a looping programming format that rotated each week.
Boomerang's former logo, used from April 1, 2000 until January 18, 2015.
Boomerang is an American digital cable and satellite television channel that is owned by the Turner Broadcasting System subsidiary of Time Warner. Originating as a spinoff of Cartoon Network (which originated Boomerang as a programming block in 1992), Boomerang specializes in a blend of classic and contemporary animated programming from Time Warner's extensive archives with a family-friendly approach, including Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, The Powerpuff Girls, and Scooby-Doo, along with repeats of shows still in production on Cartoon Network like Teen Titans Go! and The Amazing World of Gumball.
8.1.1
History
Much of the programming that made up the core of Boomerang's lineup was originally part of TBS's Disaster Area, a block of children's programming that aired on that network from 1997 to 1999. Boomerang had originated a programming block airing on Cartoon Network that debuted on December 8, 1992. It was aimed towards the generation of baby boomers, and was similar to the Vault Disney nostalgia block that would debut five years later on the Disney Channel. It originally aired for four hours every weekend, but the block's start time had changed frequently. The Saturday block moved to Saturday afternoons, then back to the early morning, and the Sunday block moved to Sunday evenings. Eventually, Boomerang was shortened by an hour, reducing it from four hours to three each weekend. Turner Broadcasting System eventually converted Boomerang into a standalone cable channel that debuted on April 1, 2000.* [1]
Once Boomerang launched as its own channel, on-air promotions for the channel aired at the end of every program within the Cartoon Network block, in attempt to increase visibility for Boomerang. In October 2004, all of the older programming on Cartoon Network, including Looney Tunes, Baby Looney Tunes, and shows from Hanna-Barbera migrated to Boomerang. On October 2 and 3, 2004, nearly four months after the relaunch of Cartoon Network, the Boomerang programming block was replaced with the then-debuting Adult Swim. Boomerang consisted with an everyday lineup of older reruns of classic anthology series such as The Popeye Show, Tom and Jerry, The Bob Clampett Show, ToonHeads and programs formerly seen on Boomerang such as Super Globetrotters. Looney Tunes aired on Cartoon Network for the last time officially on those dates, and would not return to that network until March 14, 2011, when Cartoon Network added two hour-long blocks of Looney Tunes shorts in a run-up to the debut of The Looney Tunes Show. Boomerang originated as a commercial-free channel, being financed solely by subscription fees and product tieins. In order to fill out a half-hour block (Boomerang programming follows a strict half-hour scheduling format), breaks between programs featured promotions for Cartoon Network and/or Boomerang programming (in the latter's case, most of the bumpers are several years old), occasional advertising for DVD products from Warner Home Video, various animated shorts, and eventually public service announcements for Cartoon Network's “Stop Bullying: Speak Up”initiative. Advertising time for cable and satellite providers is leased to some providers such as Dish Network, through insertion by those providers. During its looping format, which lasted through December 26, 2004, its broadcast day began at 8 a.m. (Eastern Time), with programming being repeated three times a
259
260 day in eight-hour blocks. Monday through Thursdays featured a variety of half-hour and hour-long animated series; “monthly feature”cartoons were shown all day on Fridays, in which one cartoon was featured for each Friday of a given month for 24 consecutive hours. On January 1, 2005, this block became known as “monthly character of the month”, and began to air on weekends from 2 to 4 p.m. Eastern (the block was eventually named “Boomeroyalty”in March 2007, which ran until the fall of 2012). On Saturdays, cartoons from a select calendar year were broadcast. Boomerang's promotional slogan, It's All Coming Back to You, used on the channel itself, was one of nostalgia that accurately reflected its programming of the time (in promotions on Boomerang and especially Cartoon Network, the channel is referred to as“Boomerang from Cartoon Network”); actor and television host John O'Hurley has served as continuity announcer for most of the channel's promotions. In September 2008, Cartoon Network began to feature increased promotion for Boomerang, including two promos that aired on January 1, 2009. Recently, between intermissions, Boomerang air a bumper, followed by two ments (one for either Dish Network or DirecTV, depending on the provider, followed by a regular commercial, a classic short and a“Wedgie,”a series of original animated shorts that originally aired on Cartoon Network). For many years, Boomerang generally did not show live action series, with the exception of The Banana Splits, which had a semi-regular place on the channel's schedule through approximately 2011, and the Cartoon Network game show Hole in the Wall, which aired intermittently from 2010 to 2011. However, in October 2011, the channel acquired the cable rights to the 1960s live-action series The Munsters and The Addams Family (1964 version) and airing the two sitcoms in prime time, before being removed from the schedule after Halloween (both series returned to the Boomerang lineup in October 2012 and 2013). Because most of the channel's content consists of archived television programs produced before the advent of high-definition television, Boomerang does not currently maintain a high definition simulcast feed. On February 4, 2014, as part of the company's 2014 upfronts, Turner Broadcasting announced that Boomerang would become advertising-ed, and seek additional international distribution.* [2]* [3] On January 19, 2015, the U.S. version of Boomerang was relaunched as part of a global rebranding effort and will offer original programming for the first time; the relaunched channel will continue to emphasize its archival programming but with a greatly increased emphasis on the archive's most popular brands and an explicitly family-friendly approach, in the hopes that Boomerang can become a “second flagship”on par with the main Cartoon Network channel.* [4]
CHAPTER 8. SISTER CHANNELS
8.1.2 Cable and satellite availability Boomerang is carried on most cable and telco providers, along with both satellite services; tiering of the channel varies by service, with some services offering it as a basic service or as a higher-tier offering. A few providers do not carry the linear channel, instead only offering the network's video on demand service bundled with Cartoon Network. The network is offered exclusively in standard definition, with no current plans for a high definition simulcast.
8.1.3 Programming Main article: List of programs broadcast by Boomerang Historically, Boomerang avoided overt channel drift and, despite adding newer content to its library, continued to air programming from the breadth of its archives. As of spring 2014, however, most of its archival programming has been relegated to graveyard slots while the daytime schedule has increasingly been dominated by programming from the 1990s and later. Only Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, The Powerpuff Girls, Scooby-Doo, and The Garfield Show have permanent places on the schedule as of December 2014; a few shows, such as The Flintstones, Pokémon, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, and The Smurfs are usually on the schedule but are periodically taken off the schedule for brief periods, or have their slots on the schedule shuffled around. Most other programs aired by Boomerang stay on the schedule for several weeks, then are rotated out and replaced by other programs. Not all of the Time Warner animation library is currently available to Boomerang. A portion of the library is licensed to Discovery Family, which used to be Hub Network, as of 2013; this license includes the WB-produced animated series from the 1990s that were produced in collaboration with Steven Spielberg (including Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs), and most properties involving Batman and Superman (including the DC Animated Universe). Boomerang also occasionally licenses programming from other distributors, such as The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, which reed the lineup for a short run in August and September 2013. The Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoon shorts, which were dropped by Boomerang since 2007, returned for the schedule on October 5, 2013. Although Boomerang's programming philosophy was originally intended to showcase classic cartoons, it started to added some newer shows in recent years. On January 1, 2012, the channel began airing episodes of Puppy in My Pocket: Adventures in Pocketville, which ended in February 2013. On November 17 and 24, 2012, Boomerang aired new episodes of Ben 10: Omniverse, before their telecast on sister channel Cartoon Network. Boomerang
8.1. BOOMERANG (TV CHANNEL) reintroduced the “Wedgies”series of animated shorts (which air in-between shows) in 2013. Boomerang also began airing Teen Titans Go! and The Amazing World of Gumball on December 1, 2014, alongside their airings on Cartoon Network. Numb Chucks was picked up by Boomerang for first-run broadcast in the United States on January 10, 2015, after initially having been announced for Cartoon Network.* [5] Programming blocks Because of Boomerang's fluid schedule, programming blocks will air for a few months, then be removed from the schedule, only to be added again a few months later. Current • Boomerang Theater – Boomerang's movie showcase block; it is shown on weekend mornings from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. Eastern; Looney Tunes shorts fill out the 10:30 a.m. slot as needed. Seasonal programming blocks • Captain Planet – In observance of Earth Day, Boomerang airs a marathon of the animated series (which was produced by Turner Program Services). • Mother's Day – A recent marathon obervance by Boomerang, on the holiday, the channel airs cartoons featuring mothers, such as Jane Jetsonfocused episodes of The Jetsons, and Wilma Flintstone-focused episodes of The Flintstones. • The Boomerang Christmas Party – This block, which airs each December, features a collection of Hanna-Barbera Christmas specials (such as The Powerpuff Girls: Twas the Fight Before Christmas, Yogi's First Christmas, Christmas Comes to PacLand, Casper's First Chrismas, The Jetsons' First Christmas and The Flintstones' Christmas). Former blocks • Boomeraction – One of the first blocks to air on Boomerang,* [6] its programming focused on actionadventure shows including Thundarr the Barbarian, Teen Titans, Samurai Jack, SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron, The Pirates of Dark Water, Jonny Quest, The Secret Saturdays, Ben 10 and Ben 10: Omniverse. It was also one of the only Boomerang blocks to air across international feeds, including the United Kingdom, Latin America, and Australia versions of the network. The block was removed by June 2, 2014, as all programming from the block left the schedule.
261 • Boomerandom – This block aired each weekend from 8 to 10 p.m. Eastern Time from 2008 to 2010, and featured two hours of episodes of a single program. The selected programs were picked by the “Boomerandom drawing machine”. • Boomerang Zoo – This one-hour block featured pre-1970 Hanna-Barbera/Warner Bros. television shorts, culled mainly from the H–B funny animal series (such as Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Atom Ant, Magilla Gorilla, Snagglepuss, Wally Gator, and Pixie & Dixie and Mr. Jinks). It was the only block to air on both the American and European versions of the channel after the 2004 rebranding of Boomerang Europe.* [7] • Boomerock – This block, which aired in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the premiere of The Flintstones in 2010, consisted of a marathon of the classic animated series. • Boomeroyalty – This weekend mini-marathon of shows focuses on a particular character that changes every month, similar to the former Super Chunk block on sister network Cartoon Network. “Boomeroyalty”concluded on July 2013. • Scooberang – This continuous block featured every episode of each Scooby-Doo series (which were aired in chronological order), beginning with Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!. It also aired some feature-length Scooby-Doo films, including ScoobyDoo Meets the Boo Brothers and Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island. “Scooberang”no longer airs on Boomerang. However, various series iterations of the Scooby-Doo franchise air on the channel several times daily. • Those Meddling Kids! – This 90-minute block featured series produced by Hanna-Barbera and/or Ruby-Spears, all of which follow the formula of a group of mystery-solving teenagers or young adults (such as Scooby-Doo, Josie and the Pussycats, Fangface, Clue Club and Speed Buggy). • Halloween block – This block aired during the month of October, and included Halloween-themed programs such as Scooby-Doo, Casper, The Addams Family (in its live-action as well as animated incarnations), Beetlejuice, The Funky Phantom, Goober and the Ghost Chasers and The Munsters. This is notably the only time that Boomerang regularly aired any live-action programming, particularly as The Addams Family and The Munsters have aired on the channel each October since 2011. The Halloween programming replaced the annual Scooberang block in 2011 and aired again in 2012 and 2013; it was not brought back in 2014 when the channel began to change focus.

Barbera continued to serve as mentors and creative consultants. In 1996, Turner merged with Time Warner, and Hanna-Barbera became a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Animation. With Hanna's death in 2001, it was absorbed into its parent, and Cartoon Network Studios continued the projects for the channel's output. Barbera continued to work for Warner Bros. Animation until his death in 2006. The studio now exists as an in-name-only company used to market properties and productions associated with the Hanna-Barbera library, specifically its “classic”works. In 2005, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences honored Hanna and Barbera with a bronze wall sculpture of them and the characters they created. Hanna-Barbera was known not only for its vast variety of series and characters, but for the concept and use of limited animation.
8.2.1 History Melrose, New Mexico native William Hanna and New York City-born Joseph Barbera first teamed together while working at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio in 1939. Their first directorial animated project together was Puss Gets the Boot (1940), which served as the genesis of the popular Tom and Jerry series of theatricals. Hanna and Barbera served as the directors and story men of the shorts for eighteen years. Seven of the cartoons won seven Oscars for Best Short Subject (Cartoons) between 1943 and 1953, though the trophies were awarded

Hanna-Barbera was one of the first animation studios to successfully produce cartoons especially for television.* [10] Previously, animated programming on television had consisted primarily of rebroadcasts of theatrical cartoons. Their first animated series for television The Ruff & Reddy Show, featuring live-action host Jimmy Blaine and several older Columbia-owned cartoons as filler, premiered on NBC in December 1957. The studio had its first big success with The Huckleberry Hound Show in 1958, a syndicated series aired in most markets just before primetime. The program was a ratings success, and introduced a new crop of cartoon stars to auFounders William Hanna (left) and Joseph Barbera pose with diences, in particular Huckleberry Hound and Yogi Bear. several of the Emmy awards the Hanna-Barbera studio has won.

Screen Gems became the new studio's distributor and its licensing agent, handling merchandizing of the characters from the animated programs.* [9] H-B Enterprises opened for business in rented offices on the lot of Kling Studios (formerly Charlie Chaplin Studios)* [8] on July 7, 1957, two months after the MGM animation studio closed down.* [1] Sidney and several Screen Gems alumni became of H-B's original board of directors, and much of the former MGM animation staff – including animators Carlo Vinci, Kenneth Muse, Lewis Marshall, Michael Lah, and Ed Barge and layout artists Ed Benedict and Richard Bickenbach – as its production staff.* [1]
New shows produced for syndication and Saturday mornings included The Yogi Bear Show – a syndicated spinoff from The Huckleberry Hound Show, The Hanna-Barbera New Cartoon Series featuring Wally Gator, The Magilla Gorilla Show, The Peter Potamus Show and The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show. Hanna-Barbera also produced several television commercials, often starring its own characters, and animated the opening credits for the ABC sitcom Bewitched (the Bewitched characters would also appear as guest stars in a season six episode of The Flintstones). Hanna-Barbera also produced Loopy De Loop, a series of theatrical cartoon shorts. It was the studio's first and only series for theaters. Hanna-Barbera moved off of the Kling lot in 1963 (by then renamed the Red Skelton Studios) when the studio, located at 3400 Cahuenga Blvd. West in Hollywood, California, was opened. This California contemporary office building was designed by architect Arthur Froehlich. Its ultra-modern design included a sculpted latticework exte-

Next came Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! in 1969, a CBS program which blended elements of H-B's comedy programs, action shows, the live-action sitcom The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis and the old time radio show I Love a Mystery.* [13]* [14] The series centered on four teenagers and a dog solving supernatural mysteries, and was so popular that the company made more new Saturday morning cartoons featuring mystery-solving, crimefighting teenagers with comical pets and mascots, such as, Josie and the Pussycats, The Funky Phantom, The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan, Speed Buggy, Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kids, Goober and the Ghost Chasers, Clue Club, Jabberjaw, Captain Caveman and the The former Hanna-Barbera building at 3400 Cahuenga Blvd. Teen Angels and The New Shmoo.

After the success of The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show in 1965, two new Saturday morning series debuted the following year, Space Ghost, which featured action-adventure and Frankenstein, Jr. and The Impossibles, which blended action-adventure with the earlier Hanna-Barbera humor style. A number of the company's action cartoons followed in 1967, among them are Shazzan, Birdman and the Galaxy Trio, Moby Dick and the Mighty Mightor, Young Samson and Goliath, The Herculoids and an adaptation of Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four along with new syndicated shows based on famous celebrities, such as The Abbott and Costello Cartoon Show and Laurel and Hardy.
The 1970s During the seventies in particular, the majority of American television animation was produced by HannaBarbera. The only competition came from Filmation, DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, Ruby-Spears, and a few other companies that specialized primarily in prime time specials, such as Rankin-Bass and Lee Mendelson-Bill Meléndez. Filmation, in particular, lost ground to HannaBarbera when the failure of its show Uncle Croc's Block led ABC president Fred Silverman to drop Filmation and give Hanna-Barbera the majority of the network's Saturday morning cartoon time. Besides Scooby-Doo and the programs derived from it, the studio also found success with new programs such as Harlem Globetrotters, Where's Huddles, The Addams Family, These Are The Days, Partridge Family 2200 A.D., Hong Kong Phooey and Jeannie. The syndicated Wait Till Your Father Gets Home returned Hanna-Barbera to adult-oriented comedy, although the show was more provocative than The Flintstones or The Jetsons had been.
The Hanna-Barbera and Screen Gems partnership lasted until 1965, when Hanna and Barbera announced the sale of the studio to Taft Broadcasting.* [9] Its acquisition of Hanna-Barbera was delayed for a year by a lawsuit from Joan Perry, John Cohn, and Harrison Cohn - the widow and sons of former Columbia head Harry Cohn who felt that Hanna-Barbera had undervalued the Cohns' 18% share in the company when it was sold a few years prior.* [11] By December 1966, the litigation had been The studio revisited its 1960s hits starting with the Flintsettled and the company has finally been acquired by the stones spin-offs The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show, The parent for $12 million.* [9] Flintstone Comedy Hour, The New Fred and Barney Show Hanna and Barbera stayed on to run the company, and and The Flintstone Comedy Show.

8.2. HANNA-BARBERA Avery for Hanna-Barbera, first aired in 1981. Hanna-Barbera also tried its hand at live-action projects, though its success in selling such programming was limited by its track record as an animation studio. The most notable production out of the many of its non-animated specials is the Emmy-winning favorite The Gathering. Its live-action department spun off into Solow Production Company, founded by Herbert F. Solow, which immediately following the name change was able to sell the series Man from Atlantis to NBC.* [16] The studio tried its hand at being a record label for a short time when Danny Hutton was hired to become the head of Hanna Barbera Records (HBR) from 1965 to 1966.* [17] It was distributed by Columbia Records, with artists such as Louis Prima, Five Americans, Scatman Crothers and the 13th Floor Elevators.

Dialogue, music, and sound effects were emphasized over action, leading Chuck Jones – a contemporary who worked for Hanna and Barbera's rivals at Warner Bros. Cartoons when the duo was at MGM, and one who, with his short The Dover Boys practically invented many of the concepts in limited animation – to disparagingly refer to the limited TV cartoons produced by Hanna-Barbera and others as“illustrated radio”.* [18] In a story published by The Saturday Evening Post in 1961, critics stated that Hanna-Barbera was taking on more work than it could handle and was resorting to shortcuts only a television audience would tolerate.* [19] An executive who worked for Walt Disney Productions said, “We don't even consider [them] competition”.* [19] Ironically, during the late 1950s and early 1960s, HannaBarbera was the only animation studio in Hollywood that was actively hiring, and it picked up a number of Disney artists who were laid off during this period. The studio's solution to the criticism over its quality was to go into features. The studio produced six theatrical features, among them higher-quality versions of its hit television cartoons and adaptations of other material. Hanna-Barbera was also the first animation studio to have their animation work produced overseas. One of these production companies was a subsidiary started by Hanna-Barbera called PhilToons in the Philippines.* [20] Slow rise and fall
Early H-B Enterprises logo used from the studio's inception in 1957 until 1960.
Competing studios, such as Filmation and Rankin/Bass began to introduce successful syndicated cartoons (HeMan, She-Ra and Thundercats) based upon characters from popular toy lines and action figures. Hanna-Barbera continued to produce for Saturday mornings but no longer dominated the market. In 1981, Taft purchased RubySpears Enterprises from Filmways, founded in 1977 by former H-B employees Joe Ruby and Ken Spears. It would often pair their shows with Hanna-Barbera's programs. Then in 1979, the parent bought Worldvision Enterprises, which then throughout the eighties, became the syndication distributor for most of the cartoons. It was also during this time the studio switched from cel animation to digital ink and paint for some of their shows. Both Hanna-Barbera and Worldvision had their own home video labels (Worldvision Home Video and Hanna-Barbera Home Video) while many of its productions were released by other VHS distributors.
From 1957 to 1995, Hanna-Barbera produced primetime, weekday afternoon, and Saturday morning cartoons for all three major networks and syndication in the United States. The small budgets that television animation producers had to work within prevented them, and most other producers of American television animation, from working with the full theatrical-quality animation the duo had been known for at MGM. While the budget for a seven-minute Tom and Jerry entry of the 1950s was about $35,000, Hanna-Barbera was required to produce fiveminute Ruff and Reddy episodes for no more than $3,000 a piece.* [2] To keep within these tighter budgets, HannaBarbera modified the concept of limited animation (also called semi-animation) practiced and popularized by the United Productions of America (UPA) studio, which also The Smurfs debuted in 1981 on NBC, based on Belgian once had a partnership with Columbia Pictures. cartoonist and creator Pierre Culliford's popular comics Character designs were simplified, and backgrounds and and stories.

caught the attention of Silverman's young daughter. It ran for nine seasons, winning two Daytime Emmys and a Humanitas Prize, becoming a rating success, the highest rated program in eight years, the longest-running Saturday morning cartoon and the highest for an NBC program since 1970. Some of their shows were produced at their Australian-based studio, a partnership with Australian media company Southern Star Entertainment, including Drak Pack, The Berenstain Bears and Teen Wolf.
uct was outsourced to studios in Australia and Asia, including Wang Film Productions, Cuckoo's Nest Studios, Mr. Big Cartoons, Mook Co., Ltd., Toei Animation, and its own Philippines-based studio Fil-Cartoons. In 1989, much of its staff responded to a call from Warner Bros. to resurrect their animation department. Tom Ruegger and a number of his colleagues left the studio, moving to Warners to develop hit programs, such as Tiny Toon Adventures, Batman: The Animated Series and Animaniacs.
Trollkins made its premiere on CBS in 1981, then The Biskitts in 1983. Next was The Greatest Adventure: Stories from the Bible, a Hanna-Barbera produced series for direct-to-video about three young adventurers traveling back in time to watch biblical events take place in the past. For seventeen years, Barbera tried to get for the series when finally, Taft ed it.* [21] After the success of the smash hit CBS Saturday morning cartoon series Muppet Babies, which featured toddler versions of Jim Henson's popular Muppet characters, Hanna-Barbera began producing shows featuring “kid” versions of popular characters, such as The Flintstone Kids, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, Pink Panther and Sons and Popeye and Son.
The rights to the Hanna-Barbera properties were licensed to Universal Studios while David Kirschner was appointed as the head of the studio in 1989, with Hanna and Barbera remaining as co-chairmen* [23] and launched new programs, such as Yo Yogi! and The Pirates of Dark Water. Less than successful and burdened with debt, Carl Lindner, Jr.'s Great American put both Hanna-Barbera and Ruby-Spears up for sale in 1990. The Smurfs appeared in the drug prevention special Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue, produced by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation.

In 1985, Yogi's Treasure Hunt and an update of Jonny Quest, along with new series originals Galtar and the Golden Lance, Paw Paws, Sky Commanders, Fantastic Max, The Further Adventures of Superted and Paddington Bear were introduced for the new weekly syndicated block The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera. Meanwhile, DC Comics named Hanna-Barbera as one of the honorees in its 50th anniversary publication Fifty Who Made DC Great for its work on the Super Friends cartoon series.* [22] More new shows were introduced, featuring Yogi Bear (The New Yogi Bear Show) and ScoobyDoo (The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show and The 13 Hanna, Iwao Takamoto, a studio employee, and Barbera, from Ghosts of Scooby-Doo) along with The Completely Mental July 14, 1996 Misadventures of Ed Grimley, Wildfire and Foofur. Following its original newtork run, two decades earlier, The Jetsons returned for new episodes, premiered in 1985 syndicated. The studio followed the lead of its competitors by introducing new shows based on familiar licensed properties, such as Pac-Man, Mork and Mindy, Snorks, The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang, Pound Puppies, The Gary Coleman Show, Challenge of the GoBots, Laverne & Shirley in the Army, Shirt Tales, The Little Rascals, Richie Rich, The Dukes and Monchhichis. Throughout all of this, both Hanna-Barbera and Ruby-Spears were affected by the financial troubles of Taft, which had just been acquired by the American Financial Corporation in 1987 and had its name changed to Great American Broadcasting the following year. Many of the business deals were overseen by Taft CEO, Charles Mechem. Along with the rest of the American animation industry, the company had gradually begun to move away from producing everything in-house in the late seventies and early eighties. Much of its prod-
In November 1991, the Hanna-Barbera studio and library, as well as much of the original Ruby-Spears library, were acquired by a 50-50 t venture between Turner Broadcasting – which by that time had also bought the pre-May 1986 MGM library – and Apollo Investment Fund for $320 million.* [24] This was with the intention of launching an all animation based network aimed at children and younger audiences. Turner's president of entertainment Scott Sassa hired Fred Seibert, a former executive for MTV Networks, to head the Hanna-Barbera studio. He immediately filled the gap left by the departure of most of their creative crew during the Great American years with a new crop of animators, writers, and producers, including Pat Ventura, Craig McCracken, Donovan Cook, Genndy Tartakovsky, David Feiss, Seth MacFarlane, Van Partible, Stewart St. John, and Butch Hartman with new production head Buzz Potamkin. In 1992, the studio was renamed H-B Productions Company, changing its name once again to Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc.

Launch of Cartoon Network In 1992, Turner launched Cartoon Network, to showcase its huge library of animated programs, of which HannaBarbera was the core contributor. As a result, many classic cartoons, especially the Hanna-Barbera ones, were introduced to a new audience.* [26] Following a 1987 popularity wane and program length decrease, The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera ended permanently in 1994, so that Turner could refocus the studio to produce new shows exclusively for the Turner-owned networks. In February 1995, Hanna-Barbera and Cartoon Network launched World Premiere Toons (a.k.a. What A Cartoon!), a format designed by Seibert. The program featured fortyeight new creator driven cartoon shorts developed by its in-house staff. Several original series emerged from the project, giving the company their first bona-fide mass appeal hits since The Smurfs. The first series based on a World Premiere short was Genndy Tartakovsky's Dexter's Laboratory. Cartoon Network Studios era See also: Cartoon Network Studios Around 2000, the Hanna-Barbera name began to disappear from newer shows by the studio in favor of the Cartoon Network Studios label. This came in handy with shows that were produced outside the company, but Cartoon Network had a hand in producing (ex.: Ed, Edd n Eddy and Codename: Kids Next Door) as well as shows the studio continued to produce (ex.: Adventure Time, Regular Show, Camp Lazlo and Ben 10). In April 2008, Cartoon Network would create their own animation anthology not unlike World Premiere Toons known as The Cartoonstitute, headed by two animators who got their
8.2.2 Sound effects Besides their cartoons and characters, Hanna-Barbera was also noted for their large library of sound effects. Besides cartoon-style sound effects (such as ricochets, slide whistles and more), they also had familiar sounds used for transportation, household items, the elements, and more. When Hanna and Barbera started their own cartoon studio in 1957, they created a handful of sound effects, and had limited choices. They also took some sounds from the then-defunct MGM animation studios. By 1958, they began to expand and began adding more sound effects to their library. Besides creating a lot of their own effects, they also collected sound effects from other movie and cartoon studios, such as Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. Animation, and even Walt Disney Productions. Some of their famous sound effects included a rapid bongo drum take used for when a character's feet were scrambling before taking off, a “KaBONG”sound produced on a guitar for when Quick Draw McGraw, in his Zorro-style “El Kabong”crime fighting guise, would smash a guitar over a villain's head, the sound of a car's brake drum combined with a bulb horn for when Fred Flintstone would drop his bowling ball onto his foot, an automobile's tires squealing with a “skipping”effect added for when someone would slide to a sudden stop, a bass-drum-and-cymbal combination called the “Boom Crash”for when someone would fall down or smack into an object, a xylophone being struck rapidly on the same note for a tip-toeing effect, and a violin being plucked with the tuning pegs being raised to simulate something like pulling out a cat's whisker. The cartoons also used Castle Thunder, a thunderclap sound effect that was commonly used in movies and TV shows from the 1940s to the 1970s. Other common sounds such as Peeong (a frying pan hitting sound with
270 a doppler effect) and Bilp were used regularly in all of its cartoons. Starting in the 1960s, other cartoon studios began using the sound effects, including Nickelodeon Animation Studio, Universal Animation Studios, Disney Television Animation, Film Roman, MGM Animation, Cartoon Network Studios, DiC Entertainment, Hasbro Studios, Warner Bros. Animation and many others. By the 21st century, almost every animation studio was using the sound effects. Today, like Hanna-Barbera, they are used sparingly, while some cartoons and non-animated series like Warner Bros. Animation's Krypto the Superdog, Nelvana's The Magic School Bus, A&E's Parking Wars, Disney's Bonkers and Spümcø's Ren & Stimpy “Adult Party Cartoon” make heavy use of the classic sound effects, mostly for a retro feel.
CHAPTER 8. SISTER CHANNELS with the action cartoons of the time such as Sky Commanders. By the 1990s, with cartoons shows, such as Fish Police, SWAT Kats and the animated specials The Halloween Tree and Arabian Nights, the sound effects were virtually nonexistent, being replaced with newer, digitally recorded sounds (mostly from Sound Ideas), as well as the Looney Tunes sound library by Treg Brown. A few early 1990s cartoons continued to use the sound effects, such as Tom & Jerry Kids and The Addams Family. By 1996, each TV series from the studio typically had its own set of sound effects, including some selected from the classic Hanna-Barbera sound library, as well as some new ones and various sounds from Disney and Warner Bros. cartoons (this was especially true of Dexter's Laboratory and Cow and Chicken). Several of the classic H-B sound effects still pop up from time to time in many of Cartoon Network Studios' productions. However, on the recent Warner Bros. produced Scooby-Doo shows (What's New, Scooby-Doo?, Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!, ScoobyDoo! Mystery Incorporated) and direct-to-video movies, the Hanna-Barbera sound effects are very rarely used.
Some Hanna-Barbera sounds show up in various sound libraries such as Valentino and Audio Network. HannaBarbera Records (the studio's short-lived record division) released a set of LP records in the late 1960s entitled Hanna-Barbera's Drop-Ins, which contained quite a few of the classic sound effects. This LP set was only available for radio and TV stations and other production studios. In 1973, and again in 1986, H-B released a second sound effect record set; a seven-LP set entitled The 8.2.3 List of Hanna-Barbera productions Hanna-Barbera Library of Sounds, which, like the previous set, contained several of the classic sound effects. Main article: List of works produced by Hanna-Barbera Like the previous set, this was only available to produc- Productions tion companies and radio/TV stations. The 1986 version was also available as a two compact-disc set.

In 1996, it was reissued with the Hanna-Barbera's Pic-A-Nic Basket of Cartoon Classics CD set, which also contained three other CDs of Hanna-Barbera TV theme songs and background music and songs from The Flintstones. Here, the CD was relabeled as The Greatest Cartoon Sound Effects Ever. In the 1980s, Hanna-Barbera slowly began to cease using their trademark sound effects. This was especially true

This is a list of television programs formerly or currently broadcast on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim in the United States. Although both networks share the same time space, Adult Swim is classified as a separate entity for the purposes of Nielsen ratings.
[37] http://www.tvschedulearchive.com/cartoon-network/ 2009/100509.txt [38] http://web.archive.org/web/20021207230305/http:// schedule.cartoonnetwork.com/servlet/ScheduleServlet? action=viewAll&showID=304382&show=Real+ Adventures+of+Jonny+Quest

Unlike other networks, Adult Swim usually leaves the door open for canceled shows to come back, be it on air or in another format. Show creators may choose to move on to a new project, but because of the channel's flexible scheduling and low production costs, there is a chance the canceled show could return some day. For example, Space Ghost Coast to Coast has been brought back in short form on Gametap while The Brak Show, Perfect Hair Forever, and 12 Oz. Mouse all had webisodes released on Adult Swim Video following their conclusions.* [1]* [2]* [3]

(New
Cartoon Network is an Australian cable and satellite television channel created by Turner Broadcasting, a unit of Time Warner which primarily shows animated programming. The Australian version is available on Pay TV (Foxtel, and Optus. It is also on 3 as a part of its new mobile TV service for $4 a month although this feed is merely

CARTOON NETWORK (NEW ZEALAND) a heavily repeated media stream of Cartoon Network's best shows.* [2] Telstra also broadcasts Cartoon Network on mobile service, though this is the same feed as seen on Foxtel. Neighbourhood Cable broadcasts the network in yet another feed in regional Victoria. SKY Network Television has broadcast the network in New Zealand, on 1 January 1997 originally during the day on SKY UHF preset channel 7 with Orange (later SKY 1, and now The Box) broadcasting during the evenings. The Cartoon Network became a separate 24-hour channel in New Zealand in 1998 when the SKY Digital service was launched.* [3] Cartoon Network Australia and Asia followed suit on 1 July 2001.
10.2.1
History
Cartoon Network started its broadcast in Australia in 1995 as the dual-channel TNT & Cartoon Network as part of the Foxtel cable TV launch, operating from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with Turner Classic Movies (formerly TNT) taking the remainder of the daily schedule. On 1 July 2001, Cartoon Network Australia became a separate 24-hour channel, with exclusive local feeds for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Newcastle, Darwin, etc. It originally aired only Hanna-Barbera cartoons such as Yogi Bear, Top Cat, The Flintstones etc. The channel quickly started to develop though, airing for the first time MGM cartoons (Tom and Jerry, Droopy, and Spike and Tyke) on 1 January 1996, and (after Time Warner's purchase of Turner in 1996) Warner Bros shows (Looney Tunes, and several other Looney Tunes related cartoons) on 1 January 1997. In Mid-1997, Cartoon Network started to air its first original shows (Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Dexter's Laboratory and The Moxy Show), however The Moxy Show was soon cancelled. On 22 August 1999 Cartoon Network introduced a new rebrand, introducing new bumpers, new shows and a new 'powerhouse' theme. In April 2004, the channel was added to TransTV.* [4] In addition, Cartoon Network for a brief period would show segments of kids getting prizes during the holidays but this was axed from poor viewer response. Cartoon Network had, up until mid-2004, been tied with the Disney Channel as Australia's most popular family network. The removal of older programming from the network during this period led to a fall in average audience share during 2004 as fans of older cartoons moved to Boomerang. Cartoon Network had slipped to second spot among Australian family networks behind the Disney Channel by the end of the Powerhouse Era.* [5] On 16 August 2005, the bumpers were replaced with 3D animations of a “City”that all the Cartoon Network toons lived in. Show-specific bumpers were replaced with 3-D animations of a well-known scene from the particular show. Between January 2006 and May 2007, Cartoon Network phased out all Hanna-Barbera animation and shows previously labelled Cartoon Cartoons. In February
295 2008, Adult swim relaunched on The Comedy Channel airing shows such as Robot Chicken and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. On 31 August 2008, the format of Cartoon Network's bumpers and commercials changed, and the Cartoon Network Theatre and Fridays Flicks were renamed to Cartoon Network Popcorn. This mimics a similar decision made by Cartoon Network Southeast Asia, with the major visual theme being the recurring 'dynamic line' on the network's official website and also in all the Station IDs, bumpers, etc. Cartoon Network also transferred from 4:3 to 16:9 broadcasting on 30 November 2010 as part of Foxtel's plan to convert all of its channels to widescreen before the end of 2010. The last show shown in this era was What's New Scooby Doo, on Good Morning Scooby. On 12 September 2011, Cartoon Network Australia d the premiere of The Amazing World of Gumball (1 October) along with a new theme.On 1 October 2011 Cartoon Network introduced its new branding and logo. Designed by Brand New School, it makes heavy use of a black and white checkerboard motif, as well as various CMYK color variations and patterns. The slogan It's a Fun Thing! was also introduced. As of August 2012, Cartoon Network has once again assumed the mantle of being the most watched children's network on Australian subscription TV* [6] (albeit tied with the Disney Channel), and the equal 11th most watched subscription channel overall. The network has not held this position on a consistent basis since 2006.

It began in April 2001 as a morning block airing at 10:00 am – 12:00 pm, but in August 2001 also aired as an hour-long miniblock in Cartoon Network After Dark. The shows on Boomerang changed randomly every week, for both the morning and the evening block. The Boomerang blocks

These bumpers were sometimes also used on the TV channel. The evening block last aired in March 2002, and the morning block last aired in September 2004. However late-night airings of Boomerang on Cartoon Network continued until early 2005, when the Boomerang channel received a face-lift.

History
Cartoon Network was originally twinned with movie channel TNT in a pan-European version. Cartoon Network ran from 6:00am until 8:00pm CET, with TNT taking over from 8:00pm to 6:00am CET. Some programs on the pan-European feed were dubbed into Norwegian, Swedish and Danish, dubbed locally by companies such as SDI Media Denmark and Dubberman Denmark, for the Danish soundtrack. On 16 December 1996, it became a 24-hour channel, as did TNT. However, a version of the channel called TNT & Cartoon Network continued to appear on some providers. In 2000, a regional Scandinavian version of Cartoon Network was created, broadcasting in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. Most of the programming comes with Swedish, Danish and Norwegian soundtracks. The self-imposed necessity to dub material into three languages takes a heavy toll on the availability of new programs in the feed, which may come late, in smaller amount or not come at all. Existing programming is heavily recycled. The feed has seen an upsurge of commercial advertising in recent years, despite being distributed only on pay-TV. Most of the commercials and announcements on English soundtrack are nevertheless in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. In mid-May 2006, the Cartoon Network logo was changed from the original logo to the British one, as well as the pre-show idents and promos were changed to the British style. The Boomerang block was removed but most of its program content still remains in the channel. In mid-May 2009, the idents and promos once again changed, now consisting of arrows, flying in and out of the Cartoon Network Logo. In early 2011, the logo and idents were changed to the ones currently shown on the American Cartoon Network.
10.4.3 Programming blocks Cartoon Network Classics Mainly shows Cartoon Cartoons, along with other programming dropped from the main schedule. It airs at 2:00am CET, to 4:00am CET. The block is not d, and does not have any special bumpers. It also lacks commercials. Toonami Main article: Toonami Similar to its American and British counterpart, this block mainly showcased action-orientated cartoons.

It originally aired only Hanna-Barbera cartoons such as The Yogi Bear Show, Top Cat, The Flintstones, Scooby Doo etc. The channel quickly started to develop though, airing for the first time MGM cartoons (Tom and Jerry, Droopy, and Spike and Tyke) in 1996, and (after Time Warner's purchase of Turner in 1996) Warner Bros shows (Looney Tunes, and several other Looney Tunes related cartoons) in 1997. In 1998, Cartoon Network started to air its first original shows (Space Ghost Coast to Coast and The Moxy Show), however The Moxy Show was soon cancelled. On 1 January 1999, The channel started to offer Hindi dubbed versions of their content of programs such as Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron, The Mask: The Animated Series, The Addams Family, The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, Captain Planet and certain other select programs. In 22 August 1999 the channel received a rebrand, introducing new bumpers, new shows and a new 'powerhouse' theme. The new shows for 1999 were its original shows Dexter's Laboratory, Cow & Chicken, I Am Weasel, Ed, Edd n' Eddy and Johnny Bravo. The following year, 2000, saw even more Cartoon Network originals being introduced, including The Powerpuff Girls, Mike, Lu & Og and Courage the Cowardly Dog. Some of these shows (Mike, Lu & Og, Ed, Edd n' Eddy and Courage the Cowardly Dog) were not produced by Cartoon Network.
Cartoon Network started broadcast in India in 1995 as a dual-channel with Cartoon Network initially operating 2000s from 5:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Turner Classic Movies (formerly TNT) taking up the remainder of the daily In February 2000, the channel has then decided to offer schedule. Later the time slice of Cartoon Network was Tamil dubbed versions of their content.
306 In 2001, the rate of new Cartoon Network originals kept going, with Sheep in the Big City, Time Squad and Samurai Jack being brought in. Due to the large number of Cartoon Network originals that were on Cartoon Network, they decided to name these shows Cartoon Cartoons, which led to the Friday night block Cartoon Cartoon Fridays being introduced to India later in 2001. In 2000, Cartoon Network India aired the English-dubbed version of Heidi, Girl of the Alps. This show has not made its debut on any other channel in English including Cartoon Network worldwide. Also in 2001, Cartoon Network introduced other programming blocks including Toonami, Acme Hour, Prime Time, Boomerang (now a channel as well) and Cartoon Network After Dark. Cartoon Network's Toonami Block aired the American version of the cult Japanese anime Dragon Ball Z for the first time in India in the same year. 2002 saw more Cartoon Cartoons introduced including Grim & Evil, Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones? and Codename: Kids Next Door. Grim & Evil eventually spun off into two separate series: The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and Evil Con Carne.

10.12. CARTOON NETWORK (ITALY) Network introduced its new branding and logo. Designed by Brand New School, it makes heavy use of the black and white checkerboard motif, as well as CMYK color variations and patterns. The slogan “It's a Fun Thing!" was also introduced. As the slogan suggests, Comedy programs began to occupy most of the timeslots. While initially, Tom and Jerry made up most of the timeslots, later when Oggy and the Cockroaches was started in India in July, 2012,* [8] CN began to air it hours together each day, which even continues in 2014. Though CN mostly aired Comedy Shows, action shows like Beyblade: Metal Fusion(and its following seasons), aired initially in the evening timeslot, and later at night time slot(9 pm). It also aired Dragonball Z at late night timeslot (10pm). CN started the fourth Series in the hit Ben 10 franchise, Ben 10:Omniverse on 26 November 2012.* [9] Starting from the new era,It's a Fun Thing, CN began to air shows without providing any information through airings on the channel, like on-air promos and bumpers. ThunderCats (2011 TV series), Beyblade Metal Masters New episodes, and Beyblade Metal Fury (new series), Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated were started with no information about air date and timings on the channel, and information present only on TV Schedules. Animated shows like Green Lantern: The Animated Series, DreamWorks Dragons, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, The Looney Tunes Show, ThunderCats (2011 TV series) started to air, but for some reason all of these shows aired only till the first season, and the second season hasn't been aired yet. CN shifted the hit series Pokémon to its sister channel, in 2011, having aired till the eleventh season, but later brought it back on CN in 2014, starting from the fourteenth season Pokémon: Black and White* [10]* [11]

Interestingly, Boomerang is not available in India on most platforms, making these shows along with many other classic greats hard to get.

On 1 February 2000 the website launched. A magazine launched on 13 April 2000 with 11 issues and one special. The feed closed down on 1 August 2001 and was replaced with the Pan-European feed with a Dutch audio track.* [5] (Yet some shows still aired in English with subtitles) It started airing 16 hours a day (06AM until 10PM) and ments were in English.

10.17.1 History Cartoon Network was originally twinned with movie channel TNT in a pan-European version. Cartoon Network ran from 6:00am until 8:00pm CET, with TNT taking over from 8:00pm to 6:00am CET. Some programs on the pan-European feed were dubbed into Norwegian, Swedish and Danish, dubbed locally by companies such as SDI Media Denmark and Dubberman Denmark, for the Danish soundtrack. On 16 December 1996, it became a 24-hour channel, as did TNT. However, a version of the channel called TNT & Cartoon Network continued to appear on some providers. In 2000, a regional Scandinavian version of Cartoon Network was created, broadcasting in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. Most of the programming comes with Swedish, Danish and Norwegian soundtracks. The self-imposed necessity to dub material into three languages takes a heavy toll on the availability of new programs in the feed, which may come late, in smaller amount or not come at all. Existing programming is heavily recycled. The feed has seen an upsurge of commercial advertising in recent years, despite being distributed only on pay-TV. Most of the commercials and announcements on English soundtrack are nevertheless in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian.
In mid-May 2006, the Cartoon Network logo was changed from the original logo to the British one, as well as the pre-show idents and promos were changed to the Main article: List of programs broadcast by Cartoon British style. The Boomerang block was removed but Network (Netherlands) most of its program content still remains in the channel.

On 16 December 1996, it became a 24-hour channel, as did TNT. However, a version of the channel called TNT & Cartoon Network continued to appear on some providers. In 2000, a regional Scandinavian version of Cartoon Network was created, broadcasting in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. Most of the programming comes with Swedish, Danish and Norwegian soundtracks. The self-imposed necessity to dub material into three languages takes a heavy toll on the availability of new programs in the feed, which may come late, in smaller amount or not come at all. Existing programming is heavily recycled. The feed has seen an upsurge of commercial advertising in recent years, despite being distributed only on pay-TV. Most of the commercials and announcements on English soundtrack are nevertheless in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. In mid-May 2006, the Cartoon Network logo was changed from the original logo to the British one, as well as the pre-show idents and promos were changed to the British style. The Boomerang block was removed but most of its program content still remains in the channel. In mid-May 2009, the idents and promos once again changed, now consisting of arrows, flying in and out of the Cartoon Network Logo. In early 2011, the logo and idents were changed to the ones currently shown on the American Cartoon Network.
Each week, the viewers were given a chance to vote on two different shows via the network's website. The show with the most votes aired at 8:10am CET, both on Saturdays and Sundays. The show also gave the chance for the viewers to become the host, regardless if they live in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, or Iceland. However, if, for example, a Swedish host was chosen as a host, the host was dubbed into other languages for the other In Sweden, from October 1, 2012 there are local Swedish soundtracks.

Cartoon Network started its broadcast in Australia in 1995 as the dual-channel TNT & Cartoon Network as part of the Foxtel cable TV launch, operating from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with Turner Classic Movies (formerly TNT) taking the remainder of the daily schedule. On 1 July 2001, Cartoon Network Australia became a separate 24-hour channel, with exclusive local feeds for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Newcastle, Darwin, etc. It originally aired only Hanna-Barbera cartoons such as Yogi Bear, Top Cat, The Flintstones etc. The channel quickly started to develop though, airing for the first time MGM cartoons (Tom and Jerry, Droopy, and Spike and Tyke) on 1 January 1996, and (after Time Warner's purchase of Turner in 1996) Warner Bros shows (Looney Tunes, and several other Looney Tunes related cartoons) on 1 January 1997. In Mid-1997, Cartoon Network started to air its first original shows (Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Dexter's Laboratory and The Moxy Show), however The Moxy Show was soon cancelled.

a new rebrand, introducing new bumpers, new shows and 10.19.3 Programming a new 'powerhouse' theme. * In April 2004, the channel was added to TransTV.* [4] In Current programming [7] addition, Cartoon Network for a brief period would show segments of kids getting prizes during the holidays but this was axed from poor viewer response. Cartoon Network had, up until mid-2004, been tied with the Disney Channel as Australia's most popular family network. The removal of older programming from the network during this period led to a fall in average audience share during 2004 as fans of older cartoons moved to Boomerang. Cartoon Network had slipped to second spot among Australian family networks behind the Disney Channel by the end of the Powerhouse Era.* [5] On 16 August 2005, the bumpers were replaced with 3D animations of a “City”that all the Cartoon Network toons lived in. Show-specific bumpers were replaced with 3-D animations of a well-known scene from the particular show. Between January 2006 and May 2007, Cartoon Network phased out all Hanna-Barbera animation and shows previously labelled Cartoon Cartoons. In February 2008, Adult swim relaunched on The Comedy Channel airing shows such as Robot Chicken and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. On 31 August 2008, the format of Cartoon Network's bumpers and commercials changed, and the Cartoon Network Theatre and Fridays Flicks were renamed to Cartoon Network Popcorn. This mimics a similar decision made by Cartoon Network Southeast Asia, with the major visual theme being the recurring 'dynamic line' on the network's official website and also in all the Station IDs, bumpers, etc. Cartoon Network also transferred from 4:3 to 16:9 broadcasting on 30 November 2010 as part of Foxtel's plan to convert all of its channels to widescreen before the end of 2010. The last show shown in this era was What's New Scooby Doo, on Good Morning Scooby. On 12 September 2011, Cartoon Network Australia d the premiere of The Amazing World of Gumball (1 October) along with a new theme.On 1 October 2011 Cartoon Network introduced its new branding and logo. Designed by Brand New School, it makes heavy use of a black and white checkerboard motif, as well as various CMYK color variations and patterns. The slogan It's a Fun Thing! was also introduced. As of August 2012, Cartoon Network has once again assumed the mantle of being the most watched children's network on Australian subscription TV* [6] (albeit tied with the Disney Channel), and the equal 11th most watched subscription channel overall. The network has not held this position on a consistent basis since 2006.

It began in April 2001 as a morning block airing at 10:00 am – 12:00 pm, but in August 2001 also aired as an hour-long miniblock in Cartoon Network After Dark. The shows on Boomerang changed randomly every week, for both the morning and the evening block. The Boomerang blocks had bumpers which featured children's toys of characters in Hanna-Barbera cartoons coming to life, identical to the Boomerang bumpers used in the United States. These bumpers were sometimes also used on the TV channel. The evening block last aired in March 2002, and the morning block last aired in September 2004. However late-night airings of Boomerang on Cartoon Network continued until early 2005, when the Boomerang channel received a face-lift. In late 2012 it received the looks of Boomerang (UK & Ireland)

In 2006, JoongAng Ilbo and the Turner company established a t venture to launch a separate South Korean version of Cartoon Network and the channel was set to launch in November 2006. However, the launch was suddenly delayed due to a content dispute with the Tooniverse channel—the dispute concerned the t venture's intention to produce its own Korean-language versions of some of Cartoon Network's original shows. Tooniverseproduced shows such as The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory and Johnny Bravo, were not part of this plan.

History
Cartoon Network was originally twinned with movie channel TNT in a pan-European version. Cartoon Network ran from 6:00am until 8:00pm CET, with TNT taking over from 8:00pm to 6:00am CET. Some programs on the pan-European feed were dubbed into Norwegian, Swedish and Danish, dubbed locally by companies such as SDI Media Denmark and Dubberman Denmark, for the Danish soundtrack. On 16 December 1996, it became a 24-hour channel, as did TNT. However, a version of the channel called TNT & Cartoon Network continued to appear on some providers. In 2000, a regional Scandinavian version of Cartoon Network was created, broadcasting in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. Most of the programming comes with Swedish, Danish and Norwegian soundtracks. The self-imposed necessity to dub material into three languages takes a heavy toll on the availability of new programs in the feed, which may come late, in smaller amount or not come at all. Existing programming is heavily recycled. The feed has seen an upsurge of commercial advertising in recent years, despite being distributed only on pay-TV. Most of the commercials and announcements on English soundtrack are nevertheless in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. In mid-May 2006, the Cartoon Network logo was changed from the original logo to the British one, as well as the pre-show idents and promos were changed to the British style. The Boomerang block was removed but most of its program content still remains in the channel. In mid-May 2009, the idents and promos once again changed, now consisting of arrows, flying in and out of the Cartoon Network Logo. In early 2011, the logo and idents were changed to the ones currently shown on the American Cartoon Network. In Sweden, from October 1, 2012 there are local Swedish commercials on the channel instead of the pan-Nordic feed seen in the other countries.* [3] Since November 1, 2013 Cartoon Network started to air in 16:9 (Widescreen). Although the channel broadcasts around the clock, some distributors only broadcast the channel between 6:00am. and 9:00pm, with Turner Classic Movies filling the remainder of the schedule.

History
Pre-launch On 1 October 1992, the original version of Cartoon Network was launched at CNN Center, Atlanta, USA. The channel was created in response of Turner Entertainment acquiring MGM's Cartoon and Film library in 1986 and the acquisition of the Hanna-Barbera animation studio and cartoon library in 1991. As a result of Turner purchasing MGM's Cartoon and Film library, Warner Bros pre-1948 content was also acquired, which included Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies.* [15] At launch in the United States, Cartoon Network had an 8,500 hour cartoon library,* [16] and it became the first channel dedicated to cartoons. Six months after the launch, Cartoon Network expanded into foreign markets by launching a Latin American version of the channel dubbed in both Spanish, Portuguese and English. Cartoon Network's large animation library was in high demand in Western Europe* [10] and as a response to consumer demand, Cartoon Network Europe was launched on 17 September 1993, broadcasting from London. It launched only less than 12 months after the original American version and only 16 days after its main children's television rival, Nickelodeon UK. Launch

The channel was originally twinned with movie channel TNT and ran from 5am until 7pm,* [17] with TNT taking over from 7pm to 5am. Sunday afternoons saw “Super Chunk”, which showed back to back episodes of one show for two hours between 1pm and 3pm.* [18] Another feature was “The Longest Day”, in which Car-
toon Network ran for an extra four hours until 11pm on 21 June, every year beginning in 1994.* [19]* [20] This slot was dedicated to full-length cartoon movies. The first theme was the Checkerboard theme, which showed graphics from its US counterpart and lasted until 1999. Also unlike its rival Nickelodeon, which was part of Sky Multichannels, Cartoon Network was free-to-air across Europe. Introduction of 24 hour service On 2 September 1996, Cartoon Network began running for an extra two hours until 9pm, and on 16 December 1996,* [21] it became a 24-hour channel, as did TNT on the Astra 1G satellite. However, a timesharing version of the channel called TNT & Cartoon Network continued to appear on some providers. Two years later on 19 December 1998, Cartoon Network launched as part of the Sky Digital satellite platform on the Astra 2A satellite.* [21] Also, in February 1997, Dutch cable provider A2000/KTA added the 24-hour Cartoon Network and TNT channels to its programming lineup.* [21] From 15 November 1998, Cartoon Network was part of ITV Digital's channel package, airing 24 hours a day until the service collapsed on 1 May 2002.* [21]* [22] Separation from Pan-European version On 15 October 1999, Cartoon Network UK officially stopped being a pan-European feed, this was when the shared transponder analogue feed on Astra 1C became scrambled with VideoCrypt and when the short-lived UK and Ireland only version of TNT launched. Prior to this date, Cartoon Network Europe moved to Sirius II to serve Eastern Europe in August 1999 and Cartoon Network and Spain launched at the same time on 23 August 1999, leaving the ex pan-European version (which is now the UK and Ireland only version) on Astra 1C acting as a defacto free to air secondary/transitional European feed for countries preparing to switchover to their own newly launched local versions of Cartoon Network up until encryption on 15 October 1999. TNT changed its programming from classic movies to general entertainment, TNT UK ceased to exist on 1 July 2000 and was replaced with an analogue version of TCM. During the late 90s and the early 2000s, Turner Entertainment Networks International (Now Turner Broadcasting System Europe) started localising their channels to suit different audiences across different countries around Europe. Post-pan European split After the pan-European split, Cartoon Network revamped in 15 October 1999 with the launch of a theme which had shapes and tiles with lines and footage of characters from various shows shown on Cartoon Network.
10.29. CARTOON NETWORK (UK & IRELAND) This lasted until August 2002 and was used throughout Europe. This theme was produced by the British animation studio, Cosgrove Hall Films. A DJ theme was used during the AKA Cartoon Network programming block, bumpers include a live-action DJ scratching a record, which affects the playback of a cartoon clip.* [23] On 30 June 2001, the analogue feed on Astra 1C of Cartoon Network/TCM ceased broadcasting, this was when Sky ended its analogue services.* [24]
An example of a bumper during 2002-2005. Each box shows a different video clip from the same or different cartoon. In each box, a character does an action, when they leave a box, they move to another box or their action is taken over by another character in another box.* [25]
331 posely, due to the inability as the 2006 European heat wave had hit Turner Broadcasting System Europe. The power cut caused a mix up of channels (i.e. Cartoon Network being broadcast on Boomerang and Toonami, with Boomerang being broadcast on CN Too). Boomerang +1 was off air for some time, while TCM, reverted between TCM and other programming during the times it was able to provide a service. TCM 2 didn't have a power cut because of its downtimes of timesharing. Most advertising was suspended and several of the channel websites were offline also. Those who could still receive the channels had a backup transmission played out, making people confused on why the incorrect programmes were played out when compared to the EPG CN Too and Boomerang were showing episodes of The Flintstones at the time. These backups were played out with a scrolling message which said “We apologise for the disruption to this service. This is due to technical difficulties. We will resume normal programming as soon as possible”in multiple languages. Whilst most channels returned to the air relatively quickly, it took longer for CN Too to resume programming. The idents on Toonami which aired between shows during the black-out displayed the message “Sorry! Toonami is broken, we'll be right back as soon as we fix it.”These idents have since been re-used in disclaimers warning viewers not to try stunts on various shows at home.
Current events On 11 April 2005, ten months after it was introduced in the United States, the channel debuted a new logo and On 24 May 2007, the network changed its branding to a similar look to ones one used during 1999-2005. On new idents. 11 November 2009, the network revamped which was designed by the design studio, Stardust. The new idents Technical faults and interruptions main theming is an arrow moving through several environments animated in 3D computer-generated imagery, such as a jungle, a city populated with DC Comics superheroes, a Disco/Rock concert and a Japanese anime themed world. This branding lasted until 26 September 2010.

On 27 September 2010, Cartoon Network UK introduced its current branding and logo. Designed by Brand New School, it makes heavy use of a black and white checkerboard motif, as well as various CMYK color variations and patterns. This branding was used in the USA since 29 May 2010.* [26]* [27]
On 27 July 2006 in the UK, Cartoon Network, along with the other channels, TCM, Boomerang, Toonami, Boomerang +1 and CN Too suffered a major technical fault due to a power cut in Soho, London. This was due to the energy supplier EDF Energy cutting power from On April 1, 2014, Cartoon Network's DOG moved, to different parts of Soho one at a time for four hours, pur- the top-right corner.

Main article: Toonami (UK) Original scheduling When Cartoon Network initially launched, its schedule was mainly made up of short cartoons from both Warner Bros. and other studios, such as WB's Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Tom and Jerry. A few years after, it started to broadcast its own programming such as The Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Laboratory.
Toonami launched in September 2003 showing action programming. The channel had originally replaced CNX, a channel which launched in June 2002. In May 2007, just 4 years after its launch, Toonami was replaced with Cartoonito. Cartoon Network Too Main article: Cartoon Network Too
Programming blocks In September 2000, Toonami began broadcasting weekdays for two hours between 4pm until 6pm, then from 9pm until 11pm, as well as weekends from 10am until 12 midday and 10pm until midnight. Dragonball Z had already been airing on Cartoon Network since March 2000, and had been attracting very good ratings, which may have contributed to the decision to launch Toonami in the UK. Its output consisted almost solely of Japanese anime such as the cult Dragonball Z, Tenchi Muyo, and Gundam Wing. The only non-Japanese shows for quite some time were the American-produced The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest and Batman Beyond (Batman of the Future in the UK).
On 24 April 2006, Cartoon Network Too was launched on Sky the same day as sister TCM 2 and rival Nick Jr. 2, broadcasting cartoons primarily made by Hanna-Barbera such as Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo and Wacky Races.* [21]* [30] The channel aired from 3 am to 7 pm every day until 24 May 2007, when it became a 24-hour channel, taking Toonami's slot and getting a new identity.* [31] On 1 April 2014, Cartoon Network Too was replaced by a relaunched Cartoon Network +1.

336 The Ultimatrix detects that there's a dimensional disturbance, as Marzipan City is disintergrated. Ben and Chowder are then brought to Bellwood, Ben 10's universe, and are transported to the Null Void whilst fighting and freeing a corrupted Buttercup (who somehow got into the Ben 10 world). The three find Vilgax, but are suddenly brought to Primus to fight Ultimate Kevin Levin/Kevin Levin 11,000 while Vilgax escapes yet again. After the battle, Ben's world is also erased, but the three heroes are saved by Dexter, who's built a machine that allows them to travel to the different dimensions. They then go to Stormalong Harbor, Flapjack's universe to have him help out too, but the harbor is attacked by Stickybeard and his crew. While the others retreat, telling Flapjack they'll return, Flapjack fends off the candy pirates (along the way finding Captain K'nuckles), then the two of them fight Vilgax and a corrupted Numbuh One. After Vilgax escapes, Numbuh One s with Flapjack and K'nuckles to defeat Stickybeard. When Bubbie the Whale finds out Flapjack is under attack by Stickybeard and his pirates, Bubbie swallows up Flapjack, Captain K'nuckles, Numbuh One and Stickybeard, making it harder for Stickybeard to do battle, (Because Flapjack and Captain K'nuckles have been inside Bubbie a thousand times.) After Stickybeard's defeat, the heroes are picked up by the others and brought to the KND Sector V Treehouse in Numbuh One's dimension. Numbuh One, Flapjack, and K'nuckles then defend the Kids Next Door's treehouse from the candy pirates, but Numbuh Two says he does not know how to get them back. Meanwhile, back in Dexter's dimension, Dexter is busy formulating a plan to fix the dimensional meltdown. Unfortunately, Father sneaks in and, using his fire power on a nearby temperature gauge to heat it up, sabotages the lab, sending Ben, Chowder, and Buttercup right into the City of Townsville (the Powerpuff Girls' dimension), where Mojo Jojo is on a rampage in a giant robot. There, they find Blossom and Bubbles (who were, for some strange reason, corrupted, but returned to normal once they accidentally hit the travel machine's door, which the announcer said was too painful to even watch). The group fights their way through the bustling metropolis, but then fight amongst themselves to decide who should go to face Mojo. The winner of the fight then destroys the robot's power core. Mojo then escapes, and the heroes leave as the dimension is destroyed. Next, the group finds themselves in Foster's Mansion (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends' dimension). There, they rescue a corrupted Mac and Bloo and defend Cheese from villainous forces. After that, Mac and Bloo up with the heroes and head out just as their dimension is destroyed. After a quick stop to pick up Numbuh One, Flapjack, and K'nuckles at the KND treehouse in the KND universe, the now-one team returns to Dexter's lab, which is, by now, heavily damaged. After the group fights their way through (rescuing Monkey in the
CHAPTER 11. VIDEO GAMES process), they find Father, who then fights the player and Numbuh One. After Father escapes, the heroes are attacked by Aku (the Shogun of Sorrows, the Master of Masters, etc.). After Aku is defeated, the heroes travel to Endsville and encounter Grim. After fighting their way through the wrecked up town, escaping a wild tornado, defeating General Skarr in his helicopter, rescuing Grim's corrupted masters, Billy and Mandy, and battling an army of zombies, the group goes to the Underworld. There, they find and defeat Mojo Jojo and Father. They then escape the dimension as it, like all the others before it, is destroyed (Chowder just barely making it, thanks to a lollipop K'nuckles holds out). They then take the capsule (the Announcer noticing how it's surprisingly roomier than it looks from the outside) to one more place to visit; Samurai Dojo (Samurai Jack's dimension). After defeating the corrupted samurai warrior, Jack s up with the heroes, but are attacked by Vilgax. After Vilgax's defeat, the now rather large group travels through Jack's world and defeats an army of Ultra-Robots. As the dimension capsule prepares to make one more warp to save the universes, it suddenly explodes for some reason, leaving the heroes floating in a very odd and unrecognized dimension. There, the heroes find the main villain responsible for the whole dimensional meltdown - the Announcer's TV remote! The Announcer then watches, shocked, as his own remote control transforms into a giant robot, revealing it had been responsible for the destruction of the individual worlds. It then entraps the heroes in an energy ring and is about to send them through a portal to oblivion, presumably to permanently erase them and their shows forever. The Announcer says that he should have not bought a discount remote (the type of remote the evil TV remote was) and that the heroes had the fire, had the heart, fought on earth, fought on water, and with their powers combined, something should have happened. Chowder then farts, causing the Announcer to say, “Hey, who just broke wind?" The elements the Announcer mentioned [fire, heart, earth, water, and wind] then combine to summon Captain Planet, who uses his powers to free the heroes. The final battle between the heroes (Ben, Dexter, Chowder, Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, Numbuh One, Flapjack, K'nuckles, Mac, Bloo, Monkey, Grim, Billy, Mandy, Samurai Jack, and Captain Planet) and the evil TV remote ensues. Once the evil TV remote is defeated and turned into a normal remote control, Ben and Dexter reinserts the batteries to restore the universes and, after one last goodbye, everyone is returned to their home dimensions. Chowder is returned to Marzipan City, Mac and Bloo to Foster's Mansion, Dexter and Monkey to Dexter's Lab, Numbuh One to the Kids Next Door Sector V Tree House, Samurai Jack to Samurai Dojo, Grim, Billy, and Mandy to Endsville, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup to

Three Sumo Slammer cards are hidden in each main level, and once collected unlock features, such as movie clips. After each level, Plumber ranks are rewarded, depending on how fast the player beats that level. If the player gets an A rank, you get a character view, usually a boss or a villain.

12.2.4 Design
Planning control of the city, Jojo gains the girls' empathy, saying he is also hated for his powers, manipulating them into helping him build a laboratory and machine over a volcano in the middle of town that he claims will gain them the affections of the city. The girls give a batch of Chemical X to Jojo. As a reward, Jojo takes them to the local zoo and secretly implants small transportation devices on all the primates there. That night, Jojo transports all the primates from the zoo into his volcano lair and uses his new machine to inject them with Chemical X, turning them into evil mutant primates like himself. The next morning, after the Professor is released from prison, the girls show him all the“good”they have done, only to discover the city being attacked by the monkeys. Jojo, renaming himself Mojo Jojo, publicly denounces the girls as his assistants, turning everyone and the distraught Professor, against them. The girls blast off into space, dejected.
The film featured substantially revised designs for many of the TV show's characters, with a much more angular look. Many of these changes were incorporated in the final seasons of the show, such as the Professor's new eyes and Ace's sharper teeth.
12.2.5 Critical reception
Based on 100 reviews, the film holds a 63% approval rating on the website Rotten Tomatoes with the consensus “It plays like an extended episode, but The Powerpuff Girls Movie is still lots of fun”. On Metacritic, the film currently has a rating of 65 out of 100, which indicates “generally favorable reviews”. Bob Longino of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution praised the film, writing,“The intricate drawings emanate 1950s futuristic pizazz like a David Hockney scenescape. The inspired script is both Mojo Jojo announces his intentions to rule the planet, but sinfully cynical and aw-shucks sweet”.

Ben 10 is an American media franchise created by "Man of Action" (a group consisting of Duncan Rouleau, Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, and Steven T. Seagle) and produced by Cartoon Network Studios. The franchise is about a boy who acquires a watch-like alien device, called the Omnitrix (full name: Omnimatrix), that allows him or anyone who wears it to turn into alien creatures.
The Ben 10 franchise received wide critical acclaim and won three Emmy Awards; it also has grossed over $2 billion in retail sales in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa 13.3.3 Other (EMEA) and has sold 100 million toys worldwide.* [1] Its movies, which aired on Cartoon Network, are Ben 10: SeGames cret of the Omnitrix, which aired August 10, 2007, Ben 10: • Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am Race Against Time, which aired November 21, 2007, Ben 10: Alien Swarm, which came out November 25, 2009, (2007) and Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens, which aired on March 23, 2012. • Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law (2008) Specials

Main article: Ben 10: Ultimate Alien
The Omnitrix appears in the first two incarnations of the franchise (Ben 10 and Ben 10: Alien Force) with Ben forced to destroy it and use the Ultimatrix in the Ben 10: Ultimate Alien series. And in the final episode of Ultimate Alien, Azmuth takes the Ultimatrix from Ben and replaces it with the New Omnitrix – the original version having been a prototype yet the has all of the same issues as its predecessors. However in Omniverse, Azmuth reveals that Ben's habit of slamming his hand on the Omnitrix's core and inadvertently the scroll pad, randomizes the time-out function, causing Ben to sometimes transform back to normal much earlier than expected or transform to a random alien, resulting in a mistransformation.
Several weeks after the end of Alien Force, forced to sacrifice his Omnitrix before acquiring it, Ben now possess the Ultimatrix that allows him to“evolve”his aliens into more powerful forms. But while first dealing with the Osmosian Aggregor, and other villains coming to Bellwood, Ben and his group deal with the Forever Knights as they prepare for war against an interdimensional being.

First targeted by an intergalactic bounty hunter named Khyber who is working with an enemy from the youth's past who was presumed deceased, Ben later contends with an alien invasion, Albedo, Zs'Skayr, the Plumbers Black-Ops unit called the Rooters, his alternate dimension self (the war-lord Mad Ben) and a Time War.

Elements of the franchise
In Ben 10: Omniverse, the Nemetrix, a knock off of the original Omnitrix, is introduced. Unlike the Omnitrix and its succeeding models, the Nemetrix uses the DNA of the natural predators of the sentient alien races. Thus, only an animal can utilize the Nemetrix, as s of higher intelligence are unable to use it themselves without incurring mental and/or genetic damage. Plumbers The Plumbers is an organization composed of both human and alien , each of whom possesses a special badge, and all badges bear the intergalactic peace symbol, a green hourglass shape. Later in Omniverse, the Plumbers' symbol becomes a red dot. The badge: • Is a communication device.
Omnitrix/Ultimatrix/New Omnitrix/Nemetrix
• Creates a holographic map that can pin-point the location of another Plumber's badge.

• Is a universal translator.
Falling accidentally into the hands of Ben Tennyson (Azmuth had originally intended for Max Tennyson to wield it but ended up in Ben's due to him being a close genetic match to Max), the Original Omnitrix, its Ultimatrix replacement, and the “finalized”version that is the New Omnitrix are the central elements of the Ben 10 story. They are all alien devices of level 20 technology developed by Azmuth that transform the into any one of a number of alien beings (originally 1,000,903, but the number has increased by 11 because of the transformations that have been unlocked throughout the series via the “Scan Mode”of every version of the Omnitrix). Despite many seeing the Omnitrix as a weapon, its true purpose was to allow the diverse beings of the universe to understand each other by“walking in each other's shoes” , and to resurrect all of the intelligent “sapien”species in the universe that may go extinct (including the humanrace). Both of these facts are revealed in the Alien Force episode“War of the Worlds”. The second function cannot be achieved by the Ultimatrix (because of Albedo's
• Enables access to “Extranet”, which is an intergalactic version of the Internet. In the original series the Earth's Plumbers were a secret government organization that protected the general public from any alien threat. Their main base was located inside Mt. Rushmore, where the Null Void projector and SubEnergy were stored. Their main adversary was Vilgax. Max was a Plumbers member in his youth. Most of the Plumbers have disbanded; however, a few (like Max and his relatives) remain in a semi-active capacity. Forever Knights The Forever Knights are a secret British society/paramilitary group first formed during the Middle Ages that are dedicated to collect and study alien technology, usually by illegal means. Any aliens they capture along the way are dissected and studied, and any humans caught with them are immediately deemed worthless and disposed off. It is revealed in Ben 10: Ultimate Alien that the reason for their actions is to combat Diagon,

BEN 10 an entity from another dimension that nearly conquered the Earth in the Middle Ages were it not for the Forever Knights' immortal Founder George; when George left them, the Forever Knights began to splinter under various self-titled Forever Kings who transformed their knights' duty into a genocidal policy toward anything alien. The Forever Knights also arm themselves with a large variety of medieval weapons enhanced by alien technology, with Lightsaber-like swords, lances,“laser lances”, laser guns and electro shock rods being their most common ones. Anodites Anodites are a humanoid race of energy beings from the planet “Anodyne”.
359 for being a highly intelligent race whose great amount of calculative and technical intellect allowed them to create almost anything from spare parts and deduce the function of any device at a glance. Their aging process making them look younger, Galvans also possess a secondary brain that serves for essential bodily functions like walking and breathing. The Galvans originally had no empire to speak of, were recognized from their skills and were employed by other species as industrial technicians, spies and saboteurs. But in time, keeping their projects top secret, they amassed their acquired knowledge to build a powerful empire of their own based on the technology they had kept from the rest of the universe. The Galvans had also played a role in the creation of Stonehedge, as a form of practical joke, and the Galvanic Mechamorphs, the source of Ben's Upgrade form. The Galvan planet was believed to be put together by the Omnitrix in the original series. In the second franchise, Vilgax Attacks, the Galvans were forced to control Alien X. Paradox apparently told Ben to use it to unleash a force field and stop Vilgax.
They are based on a vital energy called “Mana”, that is present in all living things and beings throughout the entire universe, known as the life source energy. For Anodites, this is a source of power, and they also have the ability to control it like“magic”(which is confirmed to be derived from Mana). A key difference is that this form of magic (or at least magical rituals) relies much more on the use of spoken incantations, spell books, charms and talismans, and even celestial events, to achieve the magical and mystical effects the caster desires.

However, due to Proctor Servantis altering Kevin's memories, it was originally believed that Osmosians originate from the planet “Osmos V”. As Servantis explains, each Osmosian possesses a unique power. In the case of Kevin Levin and Aggregor, both possess the ability to absorb. However, while Kevin's ability allows him to alter the chemical makeup of his body by absorbing the matter of whatever he touches, which can have horrific results if he absorbs energy and alien DNA, Aggregor can drain energy from living beings. It can be argued that other characters in the series such as Cooper Daniels and Clancy may also count as Osmosians.
Ship is a Galvanic Mechamorph (Upgrade's species) alien that has the ability to transform himself into fully operational technology he's once touched. He merged with the Forever Knights spaceship, from this event, he became the space transportation for Ben's team during the season 3 of Ben 10: Alien Force. The Rust Bucket III, a Plumbers' jet that Kevin has upgraded with alien tech, replaced him. Kevin's car is a Muscle car resembling a Dodge Challenger armed with Plumber technology as well as other various alien tech, including guns and off-road capabilities. It is the team's main transport in Ben 10: Alien Force and Ben 10: Ultimate Alien. It is damaged or destroyed a lot, mainly during fights or chase scenes, and Kevin is constantly busy repairing it. In Omniverse after Ben destroyed it at Upgrade, he gave it a new look. He painted it blue and placed a white circle with the number 11 on it, with only one stripe.
Galvans Galvans (a play on galvanization) ( also known as Grey Matter) are small bipedal frog-like beings, originally from Galvan Prime; currently they live in Galvan Mark II. Among the notable Galvans in the series is Azmuth, who created the Omnitrix (among many other Ben also drives a Sports car resembling a heavily modified things); Azmuth is also considered the most intelligent Mazda RX-8 in the Ben 10: Ultimate Alien andBen 10: being in the Universe. The Galvan race is best known Alien Force.
360 Rook's TRUK, is an orange and bright tan truck, with the logo “Max's Plumbing”appearing on the back. It can transform into a ship, and according to Kevin, the ship transforms with a nanoship transformer. For defense, it can fire energy blasts, and can nearly survive almost any destruction it hits. It's Ben and Rook's main transport in Omniverse. Ben now drives a motorcycle, known as the Tenn Speed. At one point after Rook's TRUK got destroyed (which later got rebuilt), Ben turned into Jury Rigg and rebuilt it into his own motorcycle. When Ben rides the motorcycle, it scans him into a motorcycle suit. Ben occasionally drives it when Rook isn't available. Allusions The series often makes references and parodies to popular culture: • Ben 10 • Ben 10: Alien Force • Ben 10: Ultimate Alien • Ben 10: Omniverse Running gags • Many characters prefer violent solutions rather than verbal ones, especially Kevin, who prefers to hit people before talking, but is stopped by Gwen, who is much more sensitive than him. Also, Ben prefers using a big, powerful alien in many situations, but ends up turning into another alien, especially Grey Matter, a small and less powerful genetic Galvan, and Nanomech, a humanoid insect.

The storyline of the franchise is similar to anime stories, although the details were not shown, but it tells about a warrior called Ishiyama and his archenemy called Kenko with the ability to shapeshift. In Alien Force/Ultimate Alien Kenko has somehow ed forces with Ishiyama, a nod to former villain Kevin 11 teaming up with Ben and Gwen Tennyson. Ben has been a huge fan since he was young, and is always trying to do something linked with it, such as knowing the news about them and pretending that he is fighting like them. • Kevin's car is a muscle car armed with Plumber technology as well as other various alien tech, including guns and off-road capabilities. As it is often damaged or destroyed (such as during fights or chase scenes), Kevin is constantly repairing it. The Rust Bucket III has also become a part of this running gag. In the episode “Video Game”, Kevin seems to think Ben's destruction of Will's car is not a good way of getting back at Harangue for his rage focused at Ben. Due to Kevin's obsession with own his car, it is likely a joke referencing that. • Since “War of the Worlds”, due to Ben's worldwide fame, he shows some typical celebrity behavior, where he is chased by fans and shows off, hoping that someone will notice and adore him. He constantly claims to have “saved the universe”. • Whenever Pakmar is shown running a business(in Omniverse), on several occasions, Ben accidentally destroys it, or gets blamed for have reckoning it, which causes him to hate him, and demands him to pay him back on multiple points.
• During the original series, Ben has a lack of hygiene, and this is briefly seen in the other series. It is sometimes mentioned that he rarely washes himself or never changes clothes, claiming the shirt that is commonly worn throughout the first series is the only shirt he used during the entire summer. Recurring elements • Mr. Smoothy is a restaurant that serves mostly smoothies at which Ben and his friends are regular customers. The titular mascot is a cup with face and legs that holds a smaller cup. It serves the strangest assortment of flavors in its smoothies, made to order. Among the strange flavors which Ben drinks are: “chocolate and carrot", "nectarine", "mango and blueberry with extra echinacea" and “all-meat flavored smoothies such as lamb and sardine". In Bellwood there are 23 Mr. Smoothy restaurants, and in some episodes some of them are destroyed because of Ben. Additionally, when confronted by an alien race whose physical appearance changed to
Technologies The advanced technologies shown are both alien and from Earth. In the series, they are divided in levels of complication, danger or sophistication. The levels known thus far are 1-20, although some technology is confirmed to be higher than Level 20. Any tech above the allowed level used on this planet, is considered illegal. Earth is a level 2 planet, something that is considered very inferior by other aliens, as it was stated once that Earth is at least 500 years away from being level 3. The Omnitrix and the Ultimatix are Level 20. Dwayne McDuffie describes some levels:

Time Travel The Entropy Pump is a machine made of quartz crystals developed by Professor Paradox during the 1950s, as a time-traveling experiment. It was experimented in a lab when an assistant Hugo drew back and hit the controls, causing the machine to become a vacuum, pulling Paradox inside of it and hurling him into the event horizon of a virtual wormhole. The result powers Paradox's time traveling project by generating enough energy to weaken the time-space continuum. Paradox, now with knowledge of the time line, later explains to Ben the concept of Cross Time. Cross Time is a reference to alternate future timelines, such as the timeline depicted in “Ben 10,000”and “Ken 10”where Kevin was still evil. Another Cross Time future, depicted in “Ben 10,000 Returns”, presents a future version of Ben still with the Ultimatrix and using it to become an

He also used the Omnitrix to become an alien with the mix of Diamondhead, Chromastone and Way Big to smash a cowboy. • In the South Park episode "You're Getting Old", Cartman's Mother mentions that Cartman gets upset when he does not get a present every time someone else gets a present at a party. One of the presents Cartman gets is a “Ben 10 Wrist Rocket”. • The Robot Chicken episode “Hurtled from a Helicopter into a Speeding Train”shows Ben on his 14th birthday party, where he complains about his gifts given by Azmuth. • Ben 10 villains, such as the Forever Knight and Animo, make a brief cameo in The Secret Saturdays episode “Van Rook's Apprentice”. References to Galvan Prime and Wildvine's species also appear in “Guess Who's Going to be Dinner?" and “Eterno” respectively. Both references were made by the Secret Scientist Dr. Arthur Beeman, the UFOlogist for the series. Cartoon Network promotion
