The Cartoonstitute

The Cartoonstitute is a Cartoon Network project created by Cartoon Network's executive Rob Sorcher that would have been a showcase for animated shorts created without the interference of network executives and focus testing. It was headed by Craig McCracken (creator of The Powerpuff Girls, and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends) and Rob Renzetti (creator of My Life as a Teenage Robot). Thirty-nine shorts for the project were in development at Cartoon Network Studios, but only 14 of these were completed. Eventually, balancing 5 upcoming shows and adding another proved difficult and the project was scrapped. Of all the shorts that were made, only Regular Show and Uncle Grandpa got greenlit to become full animated series. On May 7, 2010, Cartoon Network released nearly all of the shorts to their website. The only shorts not released were Maruined, 3 Dog Band, and Joey to the World.
