From Wikipedia:
"What A Cartoon/World Premiere Toons was an animation project conceived and produced by Fred Seibert; its mission was to return creative power to animators and artists, by going back-to-the-future and recreating the atmospheres that spawned the great cartoon characters of the mid-20th century."
What a Cartoon! (aka World Premiere Toons) was our first innovation into the resurrection of the classic cartoon short. Created by Frederator executive producer Fred Seibert when he was president of the Hanna-Barbera Cartoons studio the series launched on Cartoon Network in 1995 with Dexter's Laboratory.
48 shorts were made over the next three years, eventually spinning off six hit series, and winning Hanna-Barbera's only Academy Award nomination.
We've been producing hit-spawing shorts ever since (90 more as of 2006) with Oh Yeah! Cartoons and Random! Cartoons on Nickelodeon.
