Random! Cartoons is an American animation showcase television series. Much like Oh Yeah! Cartoons, it was created by Fred Seibert and produced by Frederator Incorporated and Nickelodeon Animation Studio for Nicktoons, and was the fourth of their cartoon "laboratories". It premiered on December 6, 2008, and ended on December 20, 2009.
Production
Creator Fred Seibert ordered thirteen full-length episodes (39 seven-minute shorts) for the series, which was originally announced in 2005 as season four of Oh Yeah! Cartoons. Production on the series started in 2005 and ended in 2006–07. Originally slated for a 2006–07 release on Nickelodeon, it was later halted for release in 2008 on the separate Nicktoons Network channel.
Unlike Oh Yeah! Cartoons, there is no host. On January 10, 2006, ASIFA-Hollywood hosted an advance screening of six shorts as well as a Q&A session with the filmmakers at the Nicktoons Studios in Burbank, California. Two of the shorts were selected to become television series and one of the shorts was selected to become a web series. Those shorts were Adventure Time, The Bravest Warriors and Fanboy. Adventure Time began airing as a full-length series on April 5, 2010 on Cartoon Network. The Bravest Warriors, under the new name Bravest Warriors, began airing on November 8, 2012 on Cartoon Hangover. Fanboy, under the new name Fanboy & Chum Chum, began airing as a full-length series on November 7, 2009 on Nickelodeon.
