1. Genndy Borisovich Tartakovsky
Genndy Borisovich Tartakovsky (born January 17, 1970) is a Soviet-born American animator,
director and producer. Although his Russian name Геннадий is normally transliterated as
Gennady or Gennadiy, he changed its spelling to Genndy after moving from Russia to the
US. He is best known for the Cartoon Network's animated television series, including
Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Star Wars: Clone Wars, and Sym-Bionic Titan. In 2011,
Tartakovsky has joined Sony Pictures Animation, where he directed his feature film debut,
Hotel Transylvania, and is directing an animated film based on Popeye.
Craig McCracken acquired an art director job at Hanna-Barbera for the show 2 Stupid Dogs
and recommended hiring Robert Renzetti and Tartakovsky as well. This was a major turning
point in Tartakovsky's career. Hanna-Barbera let Tartakovsky, McCracken, Renzetti, and Paul
Rudish work in a trailer in the parking lot of the studio, and there, Tartakovsky started
creating his best known works. Dexter's Laboratory grew out of a student film with the same
title that he produced while at the California Institute of the Arts. Tartakovksy also co-wrote
and pencilled the 25th issue of the Dexter's Laboratory comic book series, titled "Stubble
Trouble". Additionally, he helped produce The Powerpuff Girls and has directed many
episodes, serving as the animation director for The Powerpuff Girls Movie. All three projects
were nominated repeatedly for Emmy Awards, with Samurai Jack finally winning
"Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming Less Than One Hour)" in 2004 – the
same year he would win in the category for Outstanding Animated Program (for
Programming One Hour or More) for Star Wars: Clone Wars.
2. Dexter’s Laboratory
Dexter's Laboratory is an American comic science fiction animated television series created
by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network. The series follows a boy-genius named Dexter
who has a secret laboratory filled with an endless collection of his inventions. He constantly
battles his annoying sister Dee Dee, who always gains access to his lab despite his efforts to
keep her out, as well as his arch-rival and neighbor, Mandark.
Tartakovsky first pitched the series to Hanna-Barbera's animated shorts showcase World
Premiere Toons, basing it on student films he produced at CalArts. Three shorts were
created and broadcast on Cartoon Network in 1995 and 1996 until viewer approval ratings
convinced the network to order a 13-episode first season, which premiered on April 28,
1996. By 1999, 52 episodes and a television movie were produced. In 2001, the network
revived the series under a different production team at Cartoon Network Studios since
Season 1, and after 26 more episodes, the series finally ended on November 20, 2003.
Reception
Since its debut Dexter's Laboratory has been one of Cartoon Network's most successful
original series being the network's highest-rated series in both 1996 and 1997. By 1998 the
character Dexter was popular enough to be featured for the first time alongside many other
iconic characters in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The show was also part of the
reason for Cartoon Network's rating's surge over the summer of 1999. Dexter's Laboratory
continued to be popular throughout the 2000s, and with it, on July 31, it scored the highest
household rating and delivery of any Cartoon Network telecast in 2001. Dexter's Laboratory,
along with The Powerpuff Girls, was also the network's highest-rated original series of 2002.
One of Cartoon Network president Betty Cohen's favorite animated shows was Dexter's
Laboratory. Rapper Coolio has also said that he is a fan of the show and was happy to do a
song for the show's soundtrack at Cartoon Network's request, stating, "I watch a lot of
cartoons because I have kids. I actually watch more cartoons than movies. "In a 2012 top 10
list by Entertainment Weekly, Dexter's Laboratory was ranked as the fourth best Cartoon
Network show. In 2009 Dexter's Laboratory was named the 72nd best animated series by
IGN, with editors remarking, "While aimed at and immediately accessible to children,
Dexter's Laboratory was part of a new generation of animated series that played on two
levels, simultaneously fun for both kids and adults."
3. Danny Antonucci
Daniel Edward "Danny" Antonucci (born February 27, 1957) is a Canadian animator,
director, producer and screenwriter who created the animated comedy series Ed, Edd n
Eddy, Lupo the Butcher, Cartoon Sushi and The Brothers Grunt.
Antonucci dropped out of the Sheridan College of Visual Arts to take a job as an animator at
Hanna-Barbera, where he worked on a number of series, including The Flintstones Comedy
Hour, Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo, The Smurfs and Richie Rich. He continued his career in
Vancouver, where he worked on animated shorts and television commercials for Rocketship
Limited, and created his first solo work, the animated short Lupo the Butcher. At MTV, he
work on a number of commercials, his series The Brothers Grunt, and the animation
showcase program Cartoon Sushi, which he co-created with Keith Alcorn. He went on to
create Ed, Edd n Eddy for Cartoon Network. In 2008, Antonucci signed to Wild Brain.
Throughout his career, Antonucci won a number of awards. Many of his commercials for
Converse, ESPN and Levi’s won a number of awards. Lupo the Butcher was a successful
short and is considered to be a cult-classic. Ed, Edd n Eddy, his work by which he is best
known, remains one of Cartoon Network's most successful series to date.
4. Ed Edd n Eddy
Ed, Edd n Eddy is a Canadian-American animated comedy television series created by Danny
Antonucci and produced by Canada-based a.k.a. Cartoon. It premiered on Cartoon Network
on January 4, 1999. The series was designed to resemble classic cartoons from the 1940s to
the 1970s, and revolves around three adolescent boys, Ed, Edd "Double D" and Eddy,
collectively known as "the Eds", who live in a suburban cul-de-sac. Unofficially led by Eddy,
the Eds constantly invent schemes to make money from their peers to purchase their
favorite confectionery, jawbreakers. Their plans usually fail, leaving them in various
predicaments.
Adult cartoonist Antonucci was dared to create a children cartoon; while designing a
commercial, he conceived Ed, Edd n Eddy, and approached Cartoon Network and
Nickelodeon with the series, but both channels demanded creative control, which Antonucci
did not agree to. A deal was ultimately made for Cartoon Network to commission Ed, Edd n
Eddy, after they agreed to let Antonucci have control of the show.
Ratings and Reception
Ed, Edd n Eddy attracted an audience of 31 million households, was broadcast in 29
countries, and was popular among both children and adults. It was Cartoon Network's most
popular show among boys ages 2–11. In 2005, it was reported that Ed, Edd n Eddy was the
number one rated show on Cartoon Network and basic cable with huge awareness, being
known to 79% of children age 6–11. The series ran for nearly 11 years, making it the longest-
running original Cartoon Network series and Canadian-made animated series to date. It is
one of the longest-running United States animated series.
Ed, Edd n Eddy received generally positive reviews from critics. David Cornelius 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." 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."
5. Looney Tunes
Looney Tunes is a Warner Bros. series of theatrical cartoon shorts. It was produced from
1930 to 1969 during the Golden Age of American animation, alongside Warner Bros.' other
theatrical cartoon series, Merrie Melodies. The series featured some of the most famous
cartoon characters in the history of animation, including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig
and Tweety Bird among many others. The characters themselves are commonly referred to
as the "Looney Tunes." The name Looney Tunes is a variation on Silly Symphonies, the name
of Walt Disney's concurrent series of music-based cartoon shorts. From 1942 until 1969,
Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies were the most popular cartoon shorts in theaters,
exceeding Disney and other popular competitors.
Since its first official release, 1930's Sinkin' in the Bathtub, Looney Tunes has become a
worldwide media franchise, spawning several television series, films, comics, music albums,
video games and amusement park rides. Many of the characters have made and continue to
make cameo appearances in various other television shows, films and advertisements. The
most popular Looney Tunes character, Bugs Bunny, is regarded as a cultural icon and has
appeared in more films than any other cartoon character. Several Looney Tunes shorts are
regarded as some of the greatest animated cartoons of all time. Many of the shorts were
nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, with two of them winning
the award (For Scent-imental Reasons and Knighty Knight Bugs), and the short Porky in
Wackyland has been inducted into the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress.
In the beginning both Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies drew their storylines from
Warner's vast music library. From 1934 to 1943, Merrie Melodies were produced in color
and Looney Tunes in black and white. After 1943, however, both series were produced in
color and became virtually indistinguishable, with the only stylistic difference being in the
variation between the opening theme music and titles. Both series also made use of the
various Warner Bros. cartoon characters. By 1937, the theme music for Looney Tunes was
"The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" by Cliff Friend and Dave Franklin; the theme music for
Merrie Melodies was an adaptation of "Merrily We Roll Along" by Charles Tobias, Murray
Mencher and Eddie Cantor.
6. Tom and Jerry
Tom and Jerry is a series of theatrical animated cartoon films created by William Hanna and
Joseph Barbera for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, centering on a rivalry between a cat (Tom) and a
mouse (Jerry) whose chases involved comic violence. Hanna and Barbera ultimately wrote,
produced and directed 114 Tom and Jerry shorts at MGM cartoon studios in Hollywood
from 1940 to 1957. The original series is notable for having won seven Academy Awards,
tying with Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies as the theatrical animated series with the most
Oscars. A longtime television staple, Tom and Jerry has a worldwide audience and has been
recognized as one of the most famous and longest-lived rivalries in American cinema. In
2000, Time magazine named Tom and Jerry one of the greatest television shows of all time.
The series features comedic fights between an iconic set of enemies, a house cat and
mouse. The plots of each short usually center on Tom's numerous attempts to capture Jerry
and the mayhem and destruction that ensues. Tom rarely succeeds in catching Jerry, mainly
because of Jerry's cleverness, cunning abilities, and luck. Despite this, there are also several
instances within the cartoons where they display genuine friendship and concern for each
other's well-being. Other times, the pair set aside their rivalry in order to pursue a common
goal, such as when a baby escaped the watch of a negligent teen babysitter, causing Tom
and Jerry to pursue the baby and keep it away from danger.
The cartoons are infamous for some of the most violent cartoon gags ever devised in
theatrical animation, such as Jerry slicing Tom in half, shutting his head in a window or a
door, Tom using everything from axes, firearms, explosives, traps and poison to try to
murder Jerry, Jerry stuffing Tom's tail in a waffle iron and a mangle, kicking him into a
refrigerator, plugging his tail into an electric socket, pounding him with a mace, club or
mallet, causing a tree or an electric pole to drive him into the ground, sticking matches into
his feet and lighting them, tying him to a firework and setting it off, and so on. Because of
this, Tom and Jerry has often been criticized as excessively violent. Despite the frequent
violence, there is no blood or gore in any scene.
7. William Hanna
William Denby "Bill" Hanna (July 14, 1910 – March 22, 2001) was an American animator,
director, producer, voice actor, and cartoon artist, whose film and television cartoon
characters entertained millions of people for much of the 20th century. When he was a
young child, Hanna's family moved frequently, but they settled in Compton, California, by
1919. There, Hanna became an Eagle Scout. Hanna graduated from Compton High School in
1928. He briefly attended Compton City College but dropped out at the onset of the Great
Depression.
After working odd jobs in the first months of the Depression, Hanna joined the Harman and
Ising animation studio in 1930. During the 1930s, Hanna steadily gained skill and
prominence while working on cartoons such as Captain and the Kids. In 1937, while working
at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), Hanna met Joseph Barbera. The two men began a
collaboration that was at first best known for producing Tom and Jerry and live action films.
In 1957, they co-founded Hanna-Barbera, which became the most successful television
animation studio in the business, producing programs such as The Flintstones, The
Huckleberry Hound Show, The Jetsons, Scooby-Doo, The Smurfs, and Yogi Bear. In 1967,
Hanna–Barbera was sold to Taft Broadcasting for $12 million, but Hanna and Barbera
remained heads of the company until 1991. At that time, the studio was sold to Turner
Broadcasting System, which in turn was merged with Time Warner, owners of Hanna's first
employer Warner Bros., in 1996; Hanna and Barbera stayed on as advisors.
In 1940, Hanna and Barbera jointly directed Puss Gets the Boot, which was nominated for an
Academy Award for Best (Cartoon) Short Subject. The studio wanted a diversified cartoon
portfolio, so despite the success of Puss Gets the Boot, Hanna and Barbera's supervisor, Fred
Quimby, did not want to produce more cat and mouse cartoons. Surprised by the success of
Puss Gets the Boot, Hanna and Barbera ignored Quimby's resistanceand continued
developing the cat-and-mouse theme. By this time, however, Hanna wanted to return to
working for Ising, to whom he felt very loyal. Hanna and Barbera met with Quimby, who
discovered that although Ising had taken sole credit for producing Puss Gets the Boot, he
never actually worked on it. Quimby then gave Hanna and Barbera permission to pursue
their cat-and-mouse idea. The result was their most famous creation, Tom and Jerry.
