Cartoon Network Studios is an American animation studio based in Burbank, California. The television shows and pilots made previously and currently by the studio are owned and distributed by Cartoon Network while Warner Bros. Pictures owns all of its theatrical feature films. It focuses on producing and developing original animated programs and shorts for Cartoon Network, but sometimes also for Adult Swim.
The actual animation production is done overseas, mostly at Saerom Animation, Rough Draft Korea, and Sunmin Image Pictures (SMIP Co., LTD.), with pre-production and post-production being United States-based.
The studio began on October 21, 1994, at 7:00am as a name-only division of Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc., which was then focused on producing Cartoon Cartoons for Cartoon Network: What a Cartoon!, Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, and The Powerpuff Girls. In 1997, these series credited Cartoon Network Studios as Warner Bros. Animation's subsidiary Hanna-Barbera, as the latter was merged into the former by early 1998. In 1999, Cartoon Network Studios acquired its own facility located at 300 N 3rd St in Burbank, California, which was the location of a former Pacific Bell telephone exchange, and transferred their existing shows still in production at Hanna-Barbera to this place in 2000; all until its grand opening in the Summer of that year. Former DiC and Nickelodeon employees Brian A. Miller and Jennifer Pelphrey manage the company since it began production in 2000.
