A Day in the Life of Ranger Smith is a stand-alone special parody of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series , The Yogi Bear Show , which revolves around Ranger Smith . A Day in the Life of Ranger Smith was made by The Ren & Stimpy Show creator John Kricfalusi and his company Spümcø . A Day in the Life of Ranger Smith originally aired on Cartoon Network on September 24 , 1999 , along with Boo Boo Runs Wild , a similar Yogi Bear-themed stand alone special . Since its original debut in 1999 , A Day in the Life of Ranger Smith has aired on Cartoon Network 's late night programming block , Adult Swim . This marked the last Yogi Bear production in which Greg Burson voiced Yogi , as he was arrested five years after its release and subsequently died in 2008 . It is dedicated to William Hanna and Joseph Barbera .
Yogi Bear is an anthropomorphic funny animal who has appeared in numerous comic books , animated television shows and films . He made his debut in 1958 as a supporting character in The Huckleberry Hound Show . Yogi Bear was the first breakout character in animated television ; he was created by Hanna-Barbera and was eventually more popular than Huckleberry Hound . In January 1961 , he was given his own show , The Yogi Bear Show , sponsored by Kellogg 's , which included the segments Snagglepuss and Yakky Doodle . Hokey Wolf replaced his segment on The Huckleberry Hound Show . A musical animated feature film , Hey There , It 's Yogi Bear ! , was released in 1964 . Yogi was one of several Hanna-Barbera characters to have a collar . This allowed animators to keep his body static , redrawing only his head in each frame when he spoke - one of the methods used by Hanna-Barbera to cut costs by reducing the number of drawings needed for a seven-minute cartoon from around 14,000 to around 2,000 . Yogi will be returning as a Main character for the first time in almost 30 years since Yo Yogi ! in a new animated series for HBO Max titled Jellystone ! Created by CH Greenblatt and Sam Register and Produced by Warner Bros . Animation , premiering sometime in 2020 .
Ranger Smith is a fictional character in the Yogi Bear cartoon series .
Spümcø , Inc. was an American animation studio based in Los Angeles , California . The studio produced three traditionally animated series , two Flash-animated cartoon series , two music videos , five animated shorts , and a comic book . The company also went on to produce content for a few animated spots and commercials . It won several awards , including an Annie Award for Best Animated Short Subject , for the Björk music video I Miss You . Spümcø was founded in 1988 as a small office facility in the heart of Hollywood . John Kricfalusi named the company after the fictional Raymond Spum , who Kricfalusi jokingly described as the inventor of animation . Only a few short months after Spümcø 's founding , Nickelodeon announced that they were looking for new cartoons . A concept claimed to be revived by then-president of Nickelodeon , Geraldine Laybourne , was that of creator-driven cartoons . Spümcø co-founder and then-president John Kricfalusi sold The Ren & Stimpy Show to Nickelodeon in 1988 , which became Spümcø 's first original animated series production . The Golden Age of American animation , like the 1940s cartoons by Bob Clampett and Tex Avery to name a few , served for inspiration for the surreal and highly expressive house style for which Spümcø became well-known . The Spümcø headquarters were located in Los Angeles , west of Paramount Studios . Amy Harmon of The New York Times said that the not-quite-underground headquarters was a nondescript building .
The Animation Show is a touring festival of animated short films that was first held in fall 2003 . It was created by award-winning animators Mike Judge and Don Hertzfeldt . Following the demise of other American touring festivals of animation , such as Spike and Mike 's Classic Festival of Animation , [ note 1 ] the stated purpose of the Animation Show was to bring animated short films back into proper cinemas , where most of them were intended to be seen , and to free these artists from the dungeons of Internet exhibition . It was the first-ever festival of animation to be curated by working animators and was described as a passion project by its creators , not something intended to turn a giant profit . A sister series of Animation Show DVD volumes are also available , but the producers stress that the theatrical and DVD lineups are intentionally a little bit different , to encourage audiences to not just wait for the DVD but to visit the cinema and view these films properly . As stated on the Animation Show programs and flyers , once the current edition of the Show is out of theaters , it 's gone forever . Mike Judge and Don Hertzfeldt programmed the first three Animation Show programs together . Don Hertzfeldt parted ways with the festival in 2008 and the fourth season of the Animation Show was released without his involvement .
Billy 's Balloon is a 16mm animated short by Don Hertzfeldt . It was his 4th and final student film at UC Santa Barbara . Similar to his other cartoons , he utilizes a minimalist stick-figure technique . The film was invited into Official Competition at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival ( where Hertzfeldt was the youngest director involved ) , and it won the Grand Jury Award at the 1999 Slamdance Film Festival . On top of its film festival runs ( and subsequent popularity online ) , the short has also appeared on Adult Swim and MTV in the US and on a number of international TV broadcasts around the world . Hertzfeldt has noted that the short 's international popularity is likely because it has no dialogue and plays like a silent film .

Batman Beyond ( known as Batman of the Future in Latin America , Europe , Asia and Australia ) is an American animated television series developed by Bruce Timm , Paul Dini , and Alan Burnett and produced by Warner Bros . Animation in collaboration with DC Comics as a continuation of the Batman legacy . Depicting a teenaged Batman in a futuristic Gotham City under the tutelage of an elderly Bruce Wayne , the series began airing on January 10 , 1999 , and ended its run on December 18 , 2001 . After 52 episodes spanning three seasons and one direct-to-video feature film , the series was put on hold for the Justice League animated series , despite the network having announced plans for a fourth season . Batman Beyond is set in the chronological future of the DC animated universe ( despite being released before Static Shock , Justice League and Justice League Unlimited ) , and serves as a continuance of both Batman : The Animated Series and The New Batman Adventures . Though the initial announcement of the series drew mixed reactions , Batman Beyond went on to receive critical acclaim and a cult following . The show is said to explore the darker side of many Batman projects , playing on key elements such as emotions , personal relations , fear of the unknown , as well as cyberpunk and sci-fi themes such as the issues and dilemmas of innovation and technological and scientific progress affecting society , and the psychology of the character of Bruce Wayne . As such , it was considerably darker than most other children 's programs at the time , although producer Bruce Timm recalls it was conceived as a kid-friendly Batman cartoon . It is also the first Batman series to portray the hero as a teenager . IGN named the show 40th on their list of Top 100 Animated TV Series . The premise of Batman Beyond has been used in various comic book stories published by DC Comics , including an ongoing series beginning in 2011 .

The short is dedicated to Ed Benedict , the original character designer for The Yogi Bear Show and other Hanna-Barbera properties of the 1950s-1960s . Since its original debut in 1999 , Boo Boo Runs Wild has aired multiple times on Cartoon Network 's late-night programming block , Adult Swim . Strangely , whenever aired on Adult Swim , it retains its original TV-Y7 rating and was never rerated to TV-PG . From January 2006 until April 2006 Boo Boo Runs Wild aired every Sunday on Adult Swim . On April 1 , 2006 , following the normal Neon Genesis Evangelion bump , Adult Swim aired Boo Boo Runs Wild as an April Fool 's Day joke , despite all TV listings showing Evangelion in its normal time slot . Adult Swim re-aired Boo Boo Runs Wild on Halloween night , October 31 , 2008 , as part of an advertised Halloween Stunt night , where obscure or randomly seen shows preempted the usual programming for that Friday night . In 2011 Adult Swim re-aired Boo Boo Runs Wild every night from January 10 until January 14 , as part of their DVR Theatre . It aired again on the nights of August 12 , 2016 , September 5 , 2017 and January 6 , 2019 .
