#YOINK I F THE YUKON VOICE ACTORS SERIES#In 20, Cartoon Network would take a more direct approach with "The Big Pick", in which viewers got to vote for brand-new series from that summer's collection of ten pilots. Three new shorts were made in 19, those being Kenny and the Chimp, Mike, Lu & Og, and King Crab: Space Crustacean the second of these would be greenlit into a series. The rebranded anthology series now showcased new episodes and reruns of the network's full-series cartoons in addition to premieres of new pilot episodes. In the meantime, CN would retool the series into The Cartoon Cartoon Show, with then-vice president of Cartoon Network Sam Register now serving as producer. Others, such as Yoink of the Yukon, Pfish & Chip, Yuckie Duck, and Shake & Flick, were not as successful, but have gained a strong cult following from classic CN fans.Īfter the show's initial 1995-97 run, Fred Seibert would leave Hanna-Barbera to produce a counterpart series for Nickelodeon at his own production company, Frederator Studios. Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera themselves got back in the director's chair to create "Hard Luck Duck" and two shorts featuring Dino of The Flintstones, respectively. One wound up being the prototype for a much more popular toon later on ( Larry & Steve would serve as one of the inspirations for Family Guy). Five of the shorts - Dexter's Laboratory, Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, The Powerpuff Girls and The Chicken from Outer Space (which became Courage the Cowardly Dog) - would go on to be the network's first original shows, or Cartoon Cartoons. True to Seibert's word, 48 cartoons were produced by a generous handful of creators (mostly Hanna-Barbera staff), each reflecting the artist's individual style and sensibilities. The premiere of the project was on a special hosted by Space Ghost. Created by then-president of Hanna-Barbera Fred Seibert as a throwback to theatrical studio cartoons from The Golden Age of Animation, it was described as "48 chances to succeed or fail" at potential original programming. The What A Cartoon! Show (originally known as World Premiere Toons, and later renamed The Cartoon Cartoon Show) was an anthology show on Cartoon Network running from 1995 to 1997, with a few scattered shorts airing towards the end of The '90s.
