==History==

{{See also|What a Cartoon!}}

Cartoon Cartoons first appeared as shorts on animation showcase series ''[[What a Cartoon!]]'' in 1995, under the name of ''World Premiere Toons''. The series was produced by [[Hanna-Barbera]] and [[Cartoon Network Studios]] under the direction of [[Fred Seibert]]. Seibert had been a guiding force for [[Nickelodeon]] (having overseen the creation of [[Nicktoons]] shortly prior to his departure) prior to joining [[Hanna-Barbera]] and would establish [[Frederator Studios]] years later.<ref name="FredSeibertInterview">{{Cite web |last=Strike |first=Joe |date=July 15, 2003 |title=The Fred Seibert Interview — Part 1 |url=https://www.awn.com/articles/people/fred-seibert-interview-part-1/page/1,1 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612014341/http://www.awn.com/articles/people/fred-seibert-interview-part-1/page/1%2C1 |archive-date=June 12, 2011 |access-date=August 30, 2010 |publisher=[[Animation World Network]]}}</ref>

Through ''What a Cartoon!'', Cartoon Network was able to assess the potential of certain shorts to serve as pilots for spin-off series and signed contracts with their creators to create ongoing series.<ref name="Genre4">Mittell (2004), p. 82–83</ref> ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'' was the most popular short series according to a vote held in 1995, and became a full series in 1996. ''Dexter'' was retroactively labeled the first Cartoon Cartoon in 1997; however, the network's previous original shows, ''[[The Moxy Show]]'' and ''[[Space Ghost Coast to Coast]]'', were not retroactively given the label.
