Cartoon Cartoons is a collective name for Cartoon Network original series. These cartoons were originally produced by Hanna-Barbera and Cartoon Network Studios, but over the years, studios like a.k.a. Cartoon, Kino Films, Stretch Films, Blanky Blook and Curious Pictures produced these series for Cartoon Network. Any and all Cartoon Cartoons have been featured as a part of Cartoon Network's Friday night programming block, Cartoon Cartoon Fridays. In 2003, Cartoon Network stopped using the Cartoon Cartoon moniker for its original animation. Many original animated series that have premiered from 2003 until present were aired on the Friday night block, but are not officially called Cartoon Cartoons. Additionally, in the United Kingdom Cartoon Network and Cartoon Network TOO have late night Cartoon Cartoons programming blocks containing most of the productions made in the 1990s along with Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. Recently the Cartoon Cartoons block in the UK Cartoon Network was taken up with episodes from Chowder, Ben 10: Alien Force and the Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. On September 5th, the Cartoon Cartoons block was altered to replace Ben 10: Alien Force and Flapjack with Adventure Time and the original Ben 10 respectively. In the United States, Cartoon Network moved its comedy-cartoon block, Har Har Tharsdays, to Monday nights.

Cartoon Cartoons were first showcased as World Premiere Toons and later in 1995 on What a Cartoon! Show, a series of comedic animated shorts produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and Cartoon Network Studios guided by Fred Seibert, who founded the Nickelodeon-based Frederator Studios years later.[1] The first series to spin off from What a Cartoon! Show was Dexter's Laboratory in 1996. A year later, Johnny Bravo and Cow and Chicken joined Dexter on the Cartoon Network lineup. The Powerpuff Girls became a Cartoon Cartoon in the fall of 1998. I Am Weasel and Ed, Edd n Eddy were the first two Cartoon Cartoons series not to be introduced in a What a Cartoon! Show short.
More shows premiered bearing the Cartoon Cartoons brand, airing throughout the network's schedule and prominently on Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, which became the marquee night for premieres of new episodes and new shows.
As of September 2005, the name is primarily used for The Cartoon Cartoons Show, a half-hour program featuring episodes of older Cartoon Cartoons that are no longer shown regularly on the network, and Cartoon Cartoon Top 5, which is an hour long program featuring a countdown of the week's five "best" Cartoon Cartoons from the older lineup.
