Cartoon Cartoon Weekend was an annual Cartoon Network marathon that consisted of an all-weekend marathon of Cartoon Cartoons. Similar to Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, the weekend would be hosted by a Cartoon Cartoon character such as Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls or Johnny Bravo from Johnny Bravo (however, the block actually predates CCF). CCW ran from 1997 to 2002.

The marathon also included the premieres of eight new shorts, but unlike the previous two years, the audience did not pick which would become a new series. Somehow, Lowbrow was greenlit as a Cartoon Network original in 2004 (which would later be Megas XLR). Also seen was a sneak peek of the then-upcoming Codename: Kids Next Door (which was the pilot short from the year before).
