Description

Too Cool! Cartoons showcases animated shorts. The series is Frederator's fifth cartoon incubator, in which animators have their work shown on Frederator's YouTube channel Cartoon Hangover.

Too Cool! Cartoons has been a multi-national effort, with creators and artists in England, Australia, Greece, South Korea, Scotland, Japan, Canada, Sweden, and the United States.

Reception

Laura Beck of Jezebel called Bee and PuppyCat "adorable and hilarious," and Meredith Woemer of io9 wrote, "This might be the first cartoon webseries we didn't want to end." The two-part short led to a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for a full season; the campaign was successfully funded, raising $872,133 in November 2013 to go toward producing nine original new episodes of the series.

Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times wrote that Manly was "psychedelic and melancholy," and Susana Polo of The Mary Sue called the short "weird and awesome."

Legacy

Frederator Studios has persisted in the tradition of surfacing new talent, characters, and series with several cartoon shorts "incubators," including (as of 2015) What A Cartoon! (Cartoon Network, 1995), Oh Yeah! Cartoons (Nickelodeon, 1998), The Meth Minute 39 (Channel Frederator, 2008), Random! Cartoons (Nickelodeon/Nicktoons, 2008), and GO! Cartoons (Cartoon Hangover, 2016). These laboratories have spun off notable series like Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, Cow & Chicken, Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Fairly OddParents, ChalkZone, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Nite Fite, Fanboy & Chum Chum, Adventure Time, Bravest Warriors, Rocket Dog, and Bee and PuppyCat.
