Each of the shorts mirrored the structure of a theatrical cartoon, with each film being based on an original storyboard drawn and written by its artist or creator. Three of the cartoons were paired together into a half-hour episode. ''What a Cartoon!'' premiered under the ''World Premiere Toons'' title on February 20, 1995.
