Desenhos Incríveis - O Show

What A Cartoon a segment that came out in the 20th of february from1995 and it ended in the 28th of november from 1997 and it got taken off the air in 2002, it had a short called meet Fuzzy Lumpkins from The PowerPuff Girls (1998).

Now this is a cool show! I want to applaud Cartoon Network for this cool show! This show's release date is Sunday March 5, 1995 and since then I have loved to watch all the What a Cartoons! Pfish and Chip, Cow and Chicken, and Johnny Bravo are all cool What a Cartoons! My favorite What a Cartoon is "Pizza Boy" from episode "No Tip"! This episode was released on Wednesday March 19, 1997. First you see the boss giving orders to the Pizza Boy to deliver a Pizza to the Arctic Circle within five minutes "or else"! Driving into the sea, getting kicked off of a plane, attacked by dogs, Pizza Boy sure has it rough and when he delivers the Pizza (which cost five bucks) he gets "no tip"! Pizza Boy takes it really hard! The thing that I like about this episode is that the Pizza Boy is always in a hurry plus all the hilarious scenes. That equals nonstop laughter.

A lot of the shows on Cartoon Network premiered here, as well as some which have been popular even though they did not last long. I think these episodes were a lot better than some of the series. In, "Chicken From Outer Space," Courage, Muriel, and Eustace did not speak, thus relying on more visual gags than sappy one-liners like the later episodes. "Crime 101," and "Meat Fuzzy Lumkins," the superhero spoof for PPG was much funnier(on a side note, Kath Soucie, who also voiced Dexter's mom in this, did the voice of Bubbles, not Tara Strong), the jokes used in Johnny Bravo were a bit more adult, Cow and Chicken actually dealt with smoking, and even Dexter was a bit more humorous(the original short, now known as "Changes," has got to be one of the craziest shorts ever made). These cartoons were hilarious, and fans should know that these are worth checking out the original shorts to see what lead to their favorite series. Sadly, the WACS isn't on TV anymore, but lots of old Hanna-Barbera videos which contain old episodes of Johnny Quest(both Classic and New Adventures) and the first set of Scooby-Doo videos have these shorts contained with them.

BOTTOM LINE: These were great. Maybe Cartoon Network can release all of the WACS shorts on DVD?

The What a Cartoon Show contains a bunch of different cartoons made by different writers and animators. Many of them are entertaining. They serve a good amount of gross out humor, as well as some pretty dopey characters. If it wasn't for the What a Cartoon Show, Dexter's Lab, The Powerpuff Girls, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Johnny Bravo, and Cow and Chicken may have never recieved their own series. A couple of the cartoons do get a little cliche, and some of them are totally uninspired. However, those bad cartoons can be easily overlooked with cartoons like Jof in "Help?" Gramps, and Hillbilly Blue. This show is definitely worth a look. Even though few if any of the cartoons left will get their own series (I think Cartoon Network was planning to give almost every cartoon on this show its own series,) it's still a great show. OK, I'm getting redundant. I'd better end my comment.

The 'What A Cartoon Show' was a short- lived series of lively animation shorts made by Hanna Barbera and shown on Cartoon Network that debuted during the mid- 1990s. It was a showcase of up and coming and already established cartoonists own work and thus, the likes of the then unknown Seth MacFarlane and the already experienced Willam Hanna were presented for all to see.

Most of them were very, very original, inventive, funny and interesting and yet for some, they were not so funny, interesting and good. So in terms of what was on offer, it was a mixed bag altogether. Some of them- likewise, The Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Laboratory all eventually became fully fledged cartoon series, after their initial debuts/pilots on TV. And so 'The What A Cartoon Show' was the launchpad for those shows, as well as it introduced us to the work of Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy.

My favourites were Gramps, Johnny Bravo, Snoot's New Squat, The Zoonatiks- of whom consist of a turtle, monkey and a bear- in Home Sweet Home, Jungle Boy in Mr Monkeyman and the classic oldie-turned modern aged Super Secret Secret Squirrel to name. The dog in the Larry and Steve cartoon was the inspiration for Brian- the talking dog in Family Guy, and it's no wonder as the creator behind it was none other than MacFarlane. And the guy, Larry sounds just like Peter Griffin.

As I watched the shorts on the internet, they remind me that even though they have churned out the likes of the Flintstones, Scooby Doo, The Jetsons and Josie and the Pussycats back in the 60s, Hanna Barberra still had the knack of creating, devising and developing new, fresh and exciting cartoons and characters that fans of all ages loved. Of course, you had to dig out the good ones from the not so good ones, but altogether 'The What a Cartoon' segment was a great way for audiences to see a range of really interesting and wonderful animation.

All in all, this was very, very good.
