"Family Guy" is one of the most successful adult animated comedies of all time, following the suburban Griffin family through all kinds of wacky misadventures, and its creator Seth MacFarlane has ended up with an extensive career in comedy as a result. Once upon a time, however, he was just a writer working his way up through the ranks, learning how to put together a good cartoon comedy script. While on his way up, he worked on a beloved Cartoon Network series that would have an impact on not only MacFarlane's career but also affect how he made "Family Guy," and it was all about a lady-crazed himbo with a penchant for talking like an Elvis impersonator. That's right, before MacFarlane created hits like "Family Guy" and "American Dad!," he was a writer on the Cartoon Network classic "Johnny Bravo."

"Johnny Bravo" was just one of the best shows during...

As an artistic medium that has reached audiences across the board of entertainment, animated television shows can offer viewers rousing storytelling, fun characters and engaging visuals that stay in fans’ minds, and the decade of the 2000s delivered numerous series that have maintained pop culture relevancy. However, despite many of these big shows impacting the television landscape, some 2000s animated series have faded away with time.

Many of these 2000s animated shows have a lot to offer modern audiences regarding intriguing plots, expressive characters and thrilling animation that will undeniably reflect some of the best aspects of the decade as well as the timeless qualities within each program. As new generations take a look back at these unsung shows, their themes are likely to stay just as relevant (if not more so) as ever.

The Disney Princess brand is one of The Walt Disney Company's hottest properties, but not every one of its endeavors has been a success. Although a princess (Snow White) was the beginning of Disney feature-length animated films, centering on one doesn't always guarantee success. Sleeping Beauty, for example, did not fare well at the box office upon its first release. Still, when Disney was in its Dark Ages in the 1980s, it was another princess (Ariel) featured in The Little Mermaid that kicked off Disney's Renaissance. And so, in the early 2000s, when Disney chose to build an entire brand around its catalog of princesses, statistically, they were hedging their bets on a relatively safe property.

In 2007, Disney...

When two Japanese anime characters form a duo, those characters either complete one another or challenge each other, and there is always a sense of co-dependency. In a trio, however, there are ongoing tensions, a strong sense of competition, and rivalry that can also become jealousy, making the whole group much more interesting. However, many of the most iconic trios, such as Jesse, James and Meowth and Winry, Alphonse and Edward, have an underlying current of true care.

There are many iconic trios in the anime world, some composed entirely of villains, others of heroes, and some a mix of the two. Some trios are strong and determined main characters; others feature shy and quiet protagonists; still others are made of remarkable side characters. All these trios have one thing in common: they make the story unique and truly memorable.

Since her dazzling introduction to audiences all across the world in the 1953 animated classic Peter Pan, the feisty and hot-headed fairy Tinker Bell has become the unofficial mascot of Disney and is one of the studio's most instantly recognizable characters, even being warmly regarded as "a symbol of 'the magic of Disney.'" In 2008, the lovable Hollywood legend was given her very own film franchise with the Disney Fairies series, with each of the six installments being produced by DisneyToon Studios between 2008 and 2015.

The enchanting franchise serves as both a prequel and spin-off to Peter Pan and throughout its impressive run went on to gross $493 million worldwide against a $120-$140 million budget, with four of its six entries receiving a theatrical release. Featuring a stellar ensemble cast led by Mae Whitman, Lucy Liu, Angelica Huston, and Raven-Symoné, the series charmed and entertained audiences with its spunky heroine and immersive storylines...

In an era where streaming reigns supreme and physical media feels increasingly like an afterthought, the announcement of a comprehensive DVD release for a surreal, cult-classic Cartoon Network series has collectors and fans abuzz. To their pleasant surprise, Warner Bros. Discovery and Cartoon Network unveiled plans for a Regular Show: The Complete Series DVD box set for early 2025 (per Awn). The sprawling edition is the series' first remastering and physical minting since going off-air in 2017, and it will be released on Feb. 4, 2025.

Clocking in at over 50 hours, the collector's DVD set contains each of the 245 episodes of creator Jg Quintel's quirky animated series. But that's not all: the 2015 Regular Show Movie will also be featured, alongside a bevy of special features. The Regular Show: The Complete Series drop is a welcome surprise for fans and traditionalists. The show ended in 2017— a physical set like this, in today's age, is uncommon,...

The idea of a "Saturday morning cartoon" has long been defunct, with DVR and streaming meaning that people are rarely bound to watch the latest episode of a favored TV show at any particular time. Yet some of the best animated TV shows of all time, decidedly from the post-Saturday morning cartoon era, capture the aura of these cartoons of old. They are classically animated in 2D, mostly feel-good, very episodic, and primarily made for younger audiences.

There are options from the best animated Disney TV shows to the best animated fantasy shows that selectively nailed the feeling of a classic cartoon, on par with the greats of the Looney Tunes and Scooby-Doo. For those missing the best Saturday morning cartoons of all time, possibly enjoying them now on streaming, various networks and services have fresh new offerings. These selections put their own spin on the formula with more modern...

Disney is often celebrated around the world for its wide catalog of films, making it one of the most iconic production companies ever formed. From traditional fairy tales to moving modern adventures, these films have stayed with fans for a lifetime. Now, with the advent of streaming platforms like Disney +, fans can continue sharing their favorite animated movies with the next generation.

But before streaming, Disney often had to fight for prime real estate at the box office, meaning that some projects got pushed aside. Thus, a lot of sequels and spin-offs were released direct-to-video. Although these films are wrongly accused of being flops, Disney proves that sometimes, these movies are much better than the original.

Mort from Madagascar is an example of how the franchise's animals come in all shapes and sizes, from zoo animals to those found in the jungles and forests. Madagascar remains one of DreamWorks most successful animated franchises and has produced three movies, one spin-off film, three TV shows, a handful of shorts, and a series of video games. The three main movies in the franchise Madagascar (2005), Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008), and Madagascar 3: Europes Most Wanted (2012) follow the adventures of a quartet of animals from Central Park Zoo after theyre released from captivity.

The main Madagascar characters are voiced by an all-star cast, including Ben Stiller as Alex the lion, Chris Rock as a zebra named Marty, David Schwimmer as Melman the giraffe, and Jada Pinkett Smith as hippopotamus Gloria. A whole host of cute and funny animals make up the minor Madagascar characters, too, including four Adlie penguins named...

For three decades the story of stone creatures come to life has both entertained and fascinated viewers. Originally airing on a program block associated with light hearted children’s entertainment showed that animation could be much more than just “kids stuff”. Let us revisit the mysterious and enchanted world of Disney’s Gargoyles.

Created by producer Greg Wiseman, the series stood out against its contemporaries at the Disney Afternoon program block. Unlike other shows focused on gags and slapstick comedy, Gargoyles took a darker and more episodic approach similar to Batman: The Animated Series, which aired around the same time.

The series saw a group of Gargoyles who had been frozen for millennia awaken in New York City. They decide to make the city their new home and defend it from various threats.

They are led by Goliath (Keith David) with the rest of the clan being named after various...

Fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender might want to experience the same joy in another series, and there are 10 that could be up to the challenge. The Last Airbender is often considered one of the best animated shows of all time, and for good reason. It's endlessly funny, engaging, emotional, and endearing, and there's something for everyone. Many have tried to recapture the magic of The Last Airbender over the years, and Netflix even created a live-action adaptation of the original show to do just that. There are, however, other shows that can fill the same spot The Last Airbender managed to.

Living up to a show as universally praised as The Last Airbender is a gargantuan task, but there are at least 10 shows that manage it. These shows have many of the trappings The Last Airbender is known for, from its well-developed characters, intricate world, fascinating power system,...

Although its series finale originally aired on Starz back in 2017, Black Sails is still regarded as one of the best pirate shows of all time. Filled with complex characters and high production values, the show avoids common pitfalls of the genre like overindulging in sex and violence. Set during the Golden Age of Piracy, the series serves as a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic Treasure Island.

Black Sails tells the swashbuckling tale of Captain Flint and his crew as they fight for the survival of New Providence Island. Weaving real-life characters like Anne Bonny and Blackbeard into the fictional narrative gave a boost to the show's appeal. Fortunately, there is no shortage of great pirate shows for viewers who have finished Black Sails.

Taxi, a beloved sitcom that aired from 1978-1982, featured a talented main cast including Danny DeVito and Christopher Lloyd. The show also included memorable guest stars like Tom Hanks and Ruth Gordon, all of whom contributed to its success. Deceased cast members like J. Alan Thomas, Jeff Conaway, and Marcia Wallace are deeply missed, but their impactful roles live on in Taxi's legacy.

The beloved sitcom Taxi aired its first episode over 45 years ago, back in 1978, and in the years since, a few cast members have passed away, including J. Alan Thomas. The series, which would run for five seasons and conclude in 1982, centered around a group of New York City taxi cab drivers and their obnoxious dispatcher. Several of the main cast became huge stars, including Danny DeVito, Christopher Lloyd, and Marilu Henner. An acclaimed series, Taxi won the Emmy for Best Comedy Series for its first three seasons.

Cartoon Network reboots like Adventure Time movie and Regular Show new series spark interest in potential returns for other beloved shows. Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy are prime candidates for reboots. Series like Codename: Kids Next Door, The Cramp Twins, and Ed, Edd N Eddy also have untapped potential for successful returns.

There have been several major Cartoon Network reboots in recent years that have highlighted other series that should also return. With Adventure Time getting a movie, Regular Show receiving a new series, and a new season of Gumball on the way, this brings to mind the other fantastic shows that Cartoon Network viewers would love to see back on the small screen. While some were lesser-known productions that deserved more attention, other major series also have maintained plenty of reboot potential.

I must admit that I missed Dexter’s Laboratory when it originally aired on the Cartoon Network from 1996-2003. Friends raved about its charm and humor and the brilliance of animator Genndy Tartakovsky. So, the arrival of Dexter’s Laboratory: The Complete Series is welcome. On sale today from Warner Home Entertainment, the set includes all 78 episodes plus the special Dexter’s Laboratory: Ego Trip.

According to the press release, the show is about half-Einstein, half-third grader Dexter. This boy genius creates the most amazing inventions in the top-secret and highly advanced laboratory attached to his room. But his genius can’t stop his space-brained sister Dee Dee from messing up and his work and pushing his buttons. Or his annoying rival Mandark Astronomonov from constantly trying to one-up him. Can Dexter use his intelligence to solve his problems? Time to fight fire with…Science!

Well, who doesn’t love science?

Regular Show is returning on Cartoon Network Creator J.G. Quintel will return to the Regular Show reboot. The show's popularity on streaming platforms likely led to the decision to develop a new series.

A new Regular Show series is confirmed to be in development. Originally debuting in 2010, this animated sitcom, was created by animator and producer J.G Qunitel for Cartoon Network. Follows two friends, Mordecai and Rigby, as they try to navigate the demands of their groundskeeper job as well as different strange occurrences in their world. The show was led by Williams Salyers and Quintel, who voiced Rigby and Mordecai respectively, and they were frequently joined by other talented names like Mark Hamill, Steven Blum, David Kaye, and Courtenay Taylor.

Now, according to Variety, a new Regular Show series is in development with Qunitel on Cartoon Network. The forthcoming series joins Craig McCrackens Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends,...

For every DC fan who has been introduced to Batman, his foes, and Gotham City via Batman: The Animated Series, Mark Hamill will always be the preferred Joker. Although the actor is famously known for his onscreen performance as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise, fans still believe his way of striking the essential balance between crazy and scary was beyond comparison.

Mark Hamill in Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi (2017)

There’s no denying that Mark Hamill delivered an indomitable performance in the Star Wars franchise, but he will always prevail on top, for being the greatest voice for the Joker. And after Hamill’s interview during the Star Wars Weekend at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2014, fans have found even more ways to prove that the actor’s greatest role was hands down, Joker.

Why Mark Hamill’s Role as Joker is Considered His Best Performance?...

New AI-generated art transforms Johnny Bravo character into live-action, capturing his iconic appearance. A live-action adaptation of Johnny Bravo is unlikely to happen, considering past failures with Cartoon Network series. Warner Bros. had plans for a live-action Johnny Bravo movie with Dwayne Johnson, but the project was likely shelved.

Johnny Bravo characters get transformed into live-action in new art. Aired from 1997 to 2004, the classic Cartoon Network show created by Van Partible follows the misadventures of the titular dimwitted egomaniac who, loosely based on Elvis Presley and James Dean, lives with his mother and gravely overestimates his own masculinity and supposed success with women. The show's voice cast includes Jeff Bennett as Johnny Bravo, Brenda Vaccaro as Momma Bravo, and Mae Whitman as Little Suzy.

Disney Xd's Guardians of the Galaxy animated series falls short of expectations with repetitive storylines and odd animation choices. Unlike James Gunn's live-action franchise, the animation's mix of vintage music and childish humor doesn't quite hit the mark. While the series shines with quirky character moments and positive messages, it ultimately ranks low among Marvel animated shows.

Out of all the superhero properties that have graced the big screen over the last fifteen years, Marvel really did comic book fans a great service by reaching down deep and bringing Guardians of the Galaxy to the big screen. Before this movie, only the most hardcore fans were familiar with the characters of Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot. But it certainly didnt take long for them to become household names.

With popular name (and now CEO of DC Studios) James Gunn sitting in the directors chair,...

Van Partible's animated series "Johnny Bravo" debuted on the Cartoon Network on July 14, 1997. It was one of four new shows that Cartoon Network premiered in 1997 and 1998 that served as a declaration for a new creator-forward direction the network was taking. "Johnny Bravo" debuted alongside Genndy Tartakovsky's "Dexter's Laboratory," David Feiss' "Cow and Chicken," and Craig McCracken's "The Powerpuff Girls." In 1999, that lineup would be complemented by "Ed, Edd n Eddy," and "Courage the Cowardly Dog." These shows were all quirky and idiosyncratic and attracted a generation of fans.

"Johnny Bravo" was about a barrel-chested, Elvis-voiced lug who lived with his mother and attempted to find love in the big city. His buffoonery and vanity, however, usually kept him single. Johnny was played by prolific voice actor Jeff Bennett, who has been acting professionally since 1991. Van Partible had been working on a version of the show as early...

X-Men: The Animated Series ran on Fox, as part of the Fox Kids programming block, for five seasons and a total of 76 episodes from October 31, 1992 to September 20, 1997. More than twenty years after the show went off the air, it’s getting a revival called X-Men ’97, which is set to premiere on the Disney+ streaming service on March 20th. With that date swiftly approaching, a new promo for X-Men ’97 has arrived online with the promise that this show is going to be “like old times.” You can check it out in the embed at the bottom of this article.

Here’s how Marvel describes the series: Following a familiar team with the “DNA of the original show,” an impactful event in X-Men ‘97 will launch the reunited X-Men into an all-new chapter that will resonate with fans of the original series. We’ve heard that Mister Sinister is the primary antagonist.

Just when you thought the Marvel Cinematic Universe was running out of steam, we’ve been hit in the last few days with the trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine and the announcement of a brand new Fantastic Four movie. Marvel has one more trick up their sleeve this week, revealing the official trailer for animated series “X-Men ’97,” which is coming soon to Disney+.

“X-Men: The Animated Series” debuted on Halloween 1992 on the Fox Kids Network, continuing for five seasons before coming to an end in September 1997. All these years later, the story continues in Disney+ series “X-Men ’97,” premiering on March 20, 2024!

And yes, the reboot series will indeed pick up where the original series left off!

Anime has become a global medium over the years. Anime series are exported and shown in hundreds of countries, and anime characters like Goku, Naruto, and Sailor Moon are some of the most instantly recognizable fictional characters ever created. Because of this, many international and American creatives have a deep love of the medium and have naturally absorbed elements of the anime style into their own over the years.

Because of this, animation history is full of shows with a distinct anime vibe due to their visual or storytelling styles, despite not being anime in the traditional sense. Western cartoons with an anime vibe are perfect for anime fans looking for something new to enjoy after having exhausted their options on dedicated anime streaming platforms.

Mutants are gradually being worked into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and according to Cosmic Circus, the site that says the Midnight Sons might soon be appearing in the MCU, Marvel is looking at X-Men: The Animated Series, which ran on Fox Kids Network for five seasons from 1992 to 1997, as a major reference point as they figure out how to add the X-Men to their franchise. As Cosmic Circus noted, the influence of the animated series can be seen in the appearances of Charles Xavier in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Dr. Hank McCoy in The Marvels – as well as (to some degree) Wolverine in next year’s Deadpool 3.

As a daughter of the ‘90s, Disney’s turn-of-the-century Princess Renaissance was my childhood.

AI-generated Gargoyles art imagines what central characters from the show could look like in the announced live-action series. The live-action Gargoyles show was first reported last month, with James Wan and Gary Dauberman (The Conjuring universe) developing. The original animated show is fondly remembered for its dark and complex storylines, and recapturing this tone will be crucial for the live-action show to achieve success.

The world of Gargoyles is brought to life in a new batch of AI images, providing taste of what the live-action series could look like.
