Whether timely (South Park) or timeless (Looney Tunes), animation can truly take us anywhere. The rules — and the budgets — of conventional television dont apply.

TVs longest- running scripted primetime series and as American as apple pie. Mmm, pie. 2. The Flintstones (1. Seemingly modeled on The Honeymooners, this prehistoric comedy from animation kingpins William Hanna and Joseph Barbera proved that cartoons could succeed in primetime.

Looney Tunes (1. 96. They started at the movies way back in the 1. Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Co. Countless TV incarnations and an extensive cast of beloved characters — Tweety and Sylvester, Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote, and Yosemite Sam, among many others — ensures itll be a long time before Looney fans will be saying, Thats all, folks 4. Peanuts (1. 96. 5—present)Springing from Charles M. Schulzs endearing comic strip, the Peanuts gang has become a TV fixture, thanks to the ongoing (and much- cherished) replays of holiday specials like A Charlie Brown Christmas and Its the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. The snark- free adventures of long- suffering Chuck, joyful beagle Snoopy and their friends define what happiness is. Scooby- Doo (1. 96. Zoinks Who wouldve guessed that an animated comedy about a crew of paranormal investigators (four eclectic humans and one frequently cowardly and constantly hungry canine) would still be sniffing out new fans in its fifth decade.

Moose and squirrel, such unlikely heroes — and such a hoot. Jay Wards pun- filled send- up of movie serials may have been primitive in technique, but it compensated with sophisticated and wacky satire.

Holy transformation With moody film- noir art direction, emotional storytelling and mature casting (led by the brawny voice of Kevin Conroy as Batman and Bruce Wayne), BTAS was the definitive incarnation of the Dark Knight and set the standard for superhero cartoons. Sponge. Bob Square. Pants (1. 99. 9—present)With his optimistic outlook and colorful cohorts — including a gleeful starfish, a narcissistic octopus and a deep- sea- diving squirrel — Sponge.

The film features an ensemble cast of guest appearances by performers including Paget Brewster, Janeane Garofalo, John Goodman, David Alan Grier, Don Novello, Jon Polito, Carl Reiner, Whoopi Goldberg, Max Grodenchik, Jonathan Winters and Billy Crystal. Rocket J. Rocky Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose have been relegated to reruns. Their home, Frostbite Falls, has been destroyed by deforestation, Rocky has lost his ability to fly and the shows unseen Narrator now lives with his mother, spending his time narrating his own mundane life. Meanwhile, their enemies Fearless Leader, Boris Badenov, and Natasha Fatale have lost power in Pottsylvania following the end of the Cold War. However, the three escape to a real- world Hollywood film studio, where they trick executive Minnie Mogul into signing a contract giving her rights to the show, transforming the villains from their two- dimensional cel- animated forms into live- action characters. Klutzy but well- meaning FBI agent Karen Sympathy and her superior, Cappy von Trapment, inform President Signoff that Fearless Leader intends to make himself President of the United States by brainwashing television viewers using his own cable television network named RBTV (Really Bad Television), which airs mind- numbing programming designed to zombify the public and persuade them to elect him as president. Karen is sent to a special lighthouse to bring Rocky and Bullwinkle to the real world by literally greenlighting a film starring the pair. She succeeds, with the Narrator being brought along as well but never being physically seen. Fearless Leader is informed that Rocky and Bullwinkle have returned and sends Boris and Natasha to destroy them. The two are given a weapon called the CDI (Computer Degenerating Imagery), which removes cartoon characters from the real world by sending them to the Internet. Karen steals Boris and Natashas truck, but gets arrested by an Oklahoma state trooper. Natasha and Boris in turn steal a helicopter to pursue Rocky and Bullwinkle. Rocky and Bullwinkle are given a ride by Martin and Lewis, two students at Bullwinkles old university, Wossamotta U. Boris and Natasha get there first and make a large donation to the university in Bullwinkles name. In return, the head of the university gives Bullwinkle an honorary Moosters Degree and Bullwinkle addresses the student body, whilst Boris attempts to kill him with the CDI from a water tower. Rocky recovers his lost ability to fly and saves the oblivious Bullwinkle. Martin and Lewis lend the two their car, which Bullwinkle drives to Chicago. Boris and Natasha once again attempt to kill the two, but instead accidentally destroy their helicopter. Meanwhile, Karen escapes prison with the help from a love- struck Swedish guard named Ole. Karen, Rocky, and Bullwinkle are reunited, but are quickly arrested for various misdemeanors that they have committed during their journey. The three are put on trial, where Bullwinkle inadvertently sabotages their case by cross- examining Karen as the prosecutor, not the defense attorney. However, the presiding Judge Cameo dismisses their case upon recognizing Rocky and Bullwinkle, stating to the District Attorney that celebrities are above the law. The three obtain a biplane from a man named Old Jeb and escape Boris and Natasha once again. The duo consider quitting their evil occupations and getting married, but are interrupted by a call from Fearless Leader. Afraid to admit they have failed, they lie and tell him they have killed Rocky and Bullwinkle. Fearless Leader initiates his plan, brainwashing the entire country. Meanwhile, the plane is unable to carry the weight of all three aboard. Rocky flies Karen to New York City to stop Fearless Leader, but gets captured. Bullwinkle accidentally flies the plane to Washington, D. C. , confusing it for New York, and crashes on the White House lawn. To get Bullwinkle to New York in time to stop Fearless Leader, Cappy scans Bullwinkle into the White Houses computer and emails him to RBTVs headquarters, where he interrupts the broadcast and save Karen and Rocky. Karen knocks Boris and Natasha together, Bullwinkle throws Fearless Leader to his comrades, and Rocky ties the three villains together with the cables wire. The heroes convince the American public to vote for whomever they want, as well as replant Frostbite Falls trees. Bullwinkle accidentally activates the CDI, and zaps Boris, Natasha, and Fearless Leader, reverting them back to their two- dimensional animated cartoon forms and banishing them to the Internet once and for all. And in the end, RBTV is changed from Really Bad Television to Rocky and Bullwinkle Television, Karen and Ole start dating, and Rocky, Bullwinkle, and the Narrator return home to a rejuvenated Frostbite Falls. There was also a soundtrack for the film to be released by New Line Records, but was later canceled. The films soundtrack was released in the end by the RCA Records Label of BMG Entertainment.
