What A Cartoon! / World Premiere Toons Video Frame Grabs

In 1995, I launched Hanna-Barbera Cartoons into the animation industry’s largest cartoon shorts program since the 1950s. Our sister company, Cartoon Network, would play each of the 48 shorts before their Sunday night movie. These shorts represented maybe the largest commitment to new talent the company had ever launched, and was certainly the largest talent outreach in the animation industry of the 90s and 00s.

Here are 147 video frames from these 48 shorts, including Craig McCraken’s The Powerpuff Girls, David Feiss’ Cow and Chicken, Van Partible’s Johnny Bravo, Seth MacFarlane’s Larry & Steve, Butch Hartman’s Gramps, and Genndy Tartakovsky’s Dexter’s Laboratory.

Hanna-Barbera Collector Cards Box Set 1997

This box set of limited edition collector’s cards was conceived and produced by the in-house creative group at Hanna-Barbera Cartoons. They were distributed to licensees and our sister company Cartoon Network partner affiliates to show them the breadth of acceptable execution of the studio’s classic cartoon library characters. Under the creative leadership of Russell Hicks, artists and photographers got their hand on characters that had before chafed under restrictive direction.   Russell’s group did some of my favorite creative work while I was at the studio. And this box set was one of the choice favorites.
